RICHARDS TOWNSITE)| | The Crookston Journal Correctly Sizes | up the Phantom Town of Richards. tained glowing accounts of the future eity of Richards, the town on the Great Northern east of Cass Lake, says the Crookston Journal. The re- ports had a full grown village, with banks, hotels, stores and everything complete, even the Salvation Army. The history of this city goes back to the time Editor Bernard was in | Washington lobbying for the Morris billopening the Chippewa reservation: Subsequent to its passage a bill went through congress allowing laud on the Chippewa reservation to be taken under certain restrictions for town site purposes. Prominent Cass Lake, Duluth and Washington men to the’ number of thirty-two filed on 320 acres of land, ten acres being allowed each claimant, one mile west of Bena, the present town. ‘This land con- tained about $30,000 worth of stand After thirty days, without fulfilling the requirements of the law, these parties attempted to prove up on their holdings but the Indians have contested their right to the $30,- 000 worth of timber, and the taking of their lands, As the established town of Bena on the government highway between Leech and Winni- bigeshish lake having already a num- ber of stores, hotels, a livery, black- swith shop, depet and water tank was a very satisfactory location for the city. To persons at Cass Lake and Bena conversant with the facts it looks like a big graft that the govern= ment ought to look into very care- fully before taking final action. To Preyent Smutty Wheat. Prof. W. M. Hayes of the agricul- tural college of the state university, makes tbe following recommendation to farmers: All varities of Wheat are subject to smut, and all seed should be treated with formaldehyde, or, as it is sometimes called, formaline. Make a solution of one pound of for- maldehyde in forty gallons of water and sprinkle enough on the wheat to mcisten it. Shuvel over until dried, or sow afier a few hours, opening the secder to sow several extra quarts per acre of the swolen seed. ‘I'he cost of the medicine and labor is so slight, only about three cents per zcre, that who- ever sends smutty wheat to market is advertising that he is a negligent farmer. All who aspire to be seed growers, and especially official seed co-operators for the State Expiriment Station, should clean their seed every. year with this effective remedy. Even where the seed is not known to e affected, this remedy shoul i applied if the crop is designed to sold for seed. a oS INTENTIONAL DUPLICATE EXPOSURE | ‘}outside of themselves. ‘| gentlemen and their organ are the HO IS THE LIAR? | By frinting a Correct Report of Re- eS publican County Convention the Herald-Review Incites the Wfath of the One-man Organ. “In its Wednesday’s issue the Magnet makes bold to stigmatize the editor of the Herald-Review as a liar and then proceeds to prove that he ish’t aliar. The Magnet says that by ‘circulating falsehoods this paper hopes to créate dissension in the local publican ranks and it then proceeds to lambaste certain Republican lead- _| ers with a vigor that cannot fail to disrupt the party—if we admit that Editor Stuart, the Magnet and D. M. Gunn represent anything in the party If these two constituent elements of what they are ased to term a party faction, they y be considered as already dissrupt- , and hence no harm has been done. is paper made a repart of the con- N., SATURDAY, Marcu 26, 1904. ‘| necessity of observing certain laws Two Dotiars a YEAR. bis countrymen, when the marshal interfered to inform the party that they were disturbing the peace. Au- ru made demonstrations and talked Fino in amanner that indicated to the marshal that he proposed to do as be saw fit ia the premises. In or- der to impress upon the foreigner the and regulations Officer Harry arrest- ed the beligerant Finlauder and started with him to the jail. When crossing the bridge Anterson made a lunge at Harry’s body with a knife which cut through his clothes and made quite an impression on a bunch of letters in his’ inside pocket. Had it not been for the letters the knife blade would no doubt’ have penstrat- ;ed the body and caused a had wound. ‘The fellow was safely landed in jail and Thursday morning was brought before Justice McEwan on a charge of resisting an officer and making as- sault witha dangerous weapon. He was held to the grand jury. TRIED FOR INSANITY Silas Clark’s Actions in Foliowing j véntion as a matter of news and it inted the facts of what took place, nothing but the facts. The Mag- says that Mr. Gunn scratched his n name off the list of delegates to the district and state conventions as \| pfepared by the committee. This is une, and in doimg so Mr. Gunn was ‘| only depriving the convention of that sure. Mr, Gunn tested hisstreneth when he personaily placed the name #f August Johnson before the con- mtion for chairman. It is said that r, Johnson -would have been elect ifanimously had his name been pro- posed by anyone except Gunn. As itwas he was defeated by a two to e vote, This was a hint to Mr. nn as to how he stood with the nty delegates and realized that he vould not be indorsed as a delegate to conventions. Small thanks to n that he refused to submit his name a vote. When it is claimed tor him t he did not wish to be a member the delegation the claim is com- letely contradicted by the fact that satin the Duluth convention on proxy of W. C. Gilbert. These facts, and they conclusively prove diar. is. The Magni ‘convenuon was inspired by a Repub- lican office-holder. When the fresh editor of the Magnet learns to know the Herald-Review and its editor he will be wise to the fact that no outside influence dictates the policy of this paffer. He will learn, as others have learned in this community, that the Herald-Review cannot be bought, ‘browbeaten or bulldozed. This pol- icy has been conscientiously adhered to since its establishment, and as a consequence whatit has to say on pub- lic questions carries some influeuce with the people of Itasca county. After posiuvily asserting that there was no dissensign in the Republican convention except that which existed in the imagination of the Herald-Re- view, the Magnet proves that there was dissers on by characterizing cer- tain Republican leaders as traitors to the party and with having conspired with Democratic leaders to pack the Republican convention “with a num- ber of men who had_ no legal creden- tials; men who are with the Demo- crauc leaders and who~ voted as they yanted.” Why did the Magnet not make known these alleged conditions in_ its origina] report of the convention? Because these conduions did not’ex- ist, and because it was the desire of the Magnet to pass unnoticed the de- feat of Gunn. When the Herala- Review printed the facts it was neces- sary for the Magnet to make a de- fense of its defeated aspirant for the office of railroad and warehouse com- missioner, and hence the cry “Dem- ocratic influence and Republican traitors” was exhumed and exhibited as the cause of it all. If the Magnet is an honest representative of the Re- publican party in this county’and it has discovered traitors in the ranks thereof it is the plain duty of that paper io give their names to the pub- lic and either lash them inte line or lash them out of the*party. The Magnet reters to Republican office- holders as being the objectionable ones. ‘The Republican county office-holders atihe present time are Judge of Pro- bate Huson, Clerk of Court Rassmus- sen, Attorney Spear and Mrs. Hattie F. Booth, superintendent of schools. Does the Magnet include all of these or only some of them in its terrible arrignment of the perfidy of office- holder:? A Bad Fiulander. If Marshal Harry had- not carried Citizens Brings Him Into Court. Silas Clark, an old-timer here- abouts, who was sentenced at the June tern of district court to a term of six months in the penitentiary for drawing a revolver and ‘threatening to shoot ex-Marshal J. F. McCormick, was up before Judge of Probate Hu- son last Friday on a charge of in- sanity. Clark returned to Grand Rapids after bis release from prisoa. His: former trouble was. brought about by bis resentment of imaginary wrongs. There is no doubt that he was mentally unbalanced at the time. For no reason whatever, he imagined that Frank McKeown, J. F. McCor mick and others were following him for the purpose of doing him bodily harm. He went armed and one aight he drew a revolver and stuck it un- der Mr. McCormick’s nose and threat- ened to blow his brains out. Of late he bas been following McKeown and McCormick whenever they appeared on the streets after dark and finally they entered complaint, believing to be insane. At the hearing “ial und the jurors, Drs. Russell and Gilbert, did not feel justified in committing bim. CHURCH ORGANIZED Local Congregation of German Eyan- gelical Synod Elecis Trustees. For some tine past Rev. E. J. Fleer of St. Paul, has been making regular visits to Grand Rapids and holding German Evangelical services. He found a ready response to his endeav- ors to build up a local congregation, and as result a business meeting of the members was held at the M. E. church last Sunday evening and a chureh organization instituted by the election of the following trustees: F. J. J. Mueller, Fredrick Koenig, J. Kirschbaum, R. W. Heideman, W. Neuman. The work done so far has been carried on under the direction ofthe home missionary board. Lt is the purpose of the newly elected trustees to pian for the erection of a chyren building While the member- sbip is not large at present consider- able interest is shown in the under- taking andit is hoped that success will crown their efforts. Logs In the Mississippi. it is said that the Mississippi river bed from St. Cloud to Minneapolis is literally paved with fine logs that are said to be worth millions of dollars. In sinking a caisson in the river at Minneapolis last week out of a space measuring twelve by sixty feet sixty- three logs scaling over 7,000 feet were removed from the river bed. The logs in the bottom of the river all bear marks showing origional owner- ship and if the logs ever arg brought up the “awners, heirs or assigus will claim them, so that the logs will re- rmain at the bottom of the river un- less a pool of some kind is formed for raising them and arrangements made for paying for the cost of getting the logs out which would probably be rather expe nsive.—Princeton Union, Not Necessarily So.

DEFECTIVE PAGE WEALTH OF ITASCA A Few Facts Briefly Told of Our Coun- ty’s Great Advantages. Henry Funkley tells a whole vol- ume in the fullowing brief communi- cation to the Big Fork Corapass: “True thereare vast domains yet to be opened up on the American con- tinent. This is very fortunate as every foot of it will have to be opened up unless in the meantime we run up against the toot of Gabriel’s bugle. But where is there a field that for its fertility uf soil combined with a sufficient rainfall and easy acces- sibility to market compares with Northern Minnesota? People will not settle upon the rainless plains of the west as long as there is equa'ly as good soil obtain— able in the rain “belt. And one of the main reasons why Northern Minnesota is not already biossoming forth as well developed fields of agri- culture, dotted with creameries and elevators, is that in the‘hastle and bustle” of trying to take care of the rapidily increaseing population, transportation cilities directed their efforts westward, forgetting, as it were, this field of opportunity. Aud one of the best arguments in favor of this nook in the woods is the fact that our lands are now being eagerly sought by the traveler, who is disappointed with the west, and who returns astonished to find that he almost passed what he was look- ing for. Once ina while we meet a “Jonnie Wise” who objects to the stamp, but even he does not object to the tree that stands on the stump. Every tbing considered itis not at all re- markable that an influx of settlers are directing their attention to Northern Minnesota, where an abundant crop of timber awaits its harvest‘ und where the soil itself is second to none. IN FAVOR OF STITT Judge Spooner Issues an Order in One Case Against Rat Portage Co. ‘Word has been received in this city that Judge Spooner has issued an order in the case of Stitt & Howe vs. the Rat Portage Logging company involving the title toa lot o: land in the Big Fork country, says the Brain= erd Dispatch. The order is a victory for the plaintiffs and gives them clear title to some very valuable pro- perty, the dams on tbe land across the Big Fork river being especially valua@le. This is but one of many cases of this title. Good Service Wins Success. It would be vo easy jobto finda neater barber shop than the one pre- sided over by Gene Neveaux,-opposite Hotel Pakegama. Since Mr. WNe- veaux took charge of that tonsornial parlor the business has constantly in- creased util now he keeps four chairs busy where two were formerly suffi- cient. He put in a new chair last week, which necessitated the enlarge- ment-of his room several! feet, but the change had to be made in order to accommadate those who insist on getting their work done at ‘‘Gene’s”. Four first class artists in the tonsonial line can serve a large number of cus-— tomers in a short time and Gene is determinded to give satisfaction in in a hurry if it requires a dozen chairs and men to do it. A new feature, and one that is becoming popular, is the electric massage, which has re- cently been added:to the other mcdern features of this up-to-date shop. Try one—only 35 cents—and you will become addicted to the habit. Work Highly Complimented. The taxidermist work of Wm. Weitzel has a reputation for excel- ence that extends to other states. Maguitilcent specimens of his work are to be found, in moose and deer heads and birds of all kinds; in states far distant from Minnesota. ‘This firm of taxidermists is now known as Weitzel & Storey and their business is rapidiy increasing. During the past year they have doné work in mounting that cannot be exeelled by anyone in the business. Among the testimonials of appreciation of their work recently received was one from Editor ©. M. Atkinson of the Mesaba Ore of Hibbing. Weitzel & Story mounted two deer heads for him and in acknowledging receipt of them he took occasion to say that they were the most perfect mounts that he had ever’seen, Get prices on job work at the Herald- Review office. ae cancel
