Seaman of Deer River is An- nounced as a Candi- date for the Legislat- ure—People of Itasca Demand a_ Repre- sentative at St. Paul. { The entrance of Frank F. Seaman of Deer River iuto the legislative contest of the Fifty-second district is quite apt to develop an interesting figbt at the primaries, and as are- Sult the people are very likely to as— sent their rights in the premises. ‘Heretofore it has been the policy of Republican politicians to fix the mat- ter up to their own satisfaction and submit their selections for the legis- lature to a compulsory ratification of the people. The Fifty-second dis- trict is strongly Republican — nomi- nally electing the candidates of that party by one thousand to fifteen hundred -majority—and this without any consideration of qualifications. Asa result this district has been re- presented by as poor a lot of state legislators as ever drew a salary for alleged law making. Without regard wu politics the people were ashamed of Noyes and Ryan, who were elected in 1990. As members they were honentities. They absolutely did nothing for the district, and the peo- ple are few who remember today that they were-ever honored by being elected to represent this important district. at Su. Paul. If. Cole of Cass did any better during the last Session the fact has beeu kept a pro- = secret. Sowe of our Republi- n contemporaries may feel that the Herald- Review is offering opinions out of order, but in reply to such we their attention to the fact that Democrats as well as Re- °° icans must live under and abide also exist under conditions that should be changed and improved, whether these conditions may the chargeable to Republican or Demo- cratic responsibility. his beinga Republican dsitrict and hence the almost certain election of Republican nominees, honest Demoorats as well as honest Republicans are interested in the selection of candidates who are able and willing to advance such measures as will best’ serve the well— fare of the people whom they repre- sent, The interests of this district are vast and varied and none but men alert to these interests should be chosen to represent them in the state legislature. There are things to be done, and it will require good men to do them—men who know the district and who appreciate its vital needs; men who. have the ability and ambition tosecure the enactment of beneficial laws. Among the demands of the people of this district is legislation to aid in the drainage of swamp lands and to secure state aid.for the building of public high- ways. These are questions of the most vital importance to the people of the Fifty-second district. Some of the very best agricultural lands in this county could be reclaimed and made productive of great wealth by the expenditure of a little money to tomake proper drainage. Mr. Sea- man says this will be his aim should he be chosen to represent the people. going on in the county of Itasca and the several viilages which this paper represents. A Convenient System. Recorder Gole bas adopted a system of booking for the village that not only facilitates the work of book keeping, but places every account in so convenient a form that. the cur- rent financial condition of the vil- lage may be ascertained at jalmost a glance. The receipts and disburse- ments are carried on opposite pages, and headed columns indicate each Seperate department of the munici- pality to which every item is to be charged or credited. In this way tlie several accounts are kept in com- ; bact order and can be readily referred toatany moment. No confusion of accounts is possible under the new system adopted, and Mr. Gole is very well pleased with his plan.

He has lived in Itasca county fora dozen years, and knows the bad con- ditions that exist here and he knows the remedies to apply: His interests are the interests of the people and he unbesitatingly pronounces in favor of such legislation as the people have been asking for these many years, and which they have not yet receiyed. Those papers that have expressed themselves as being favorable to the re-election of Cole of Cass, speak of his record during the last session, but none of them have yet printed it. What did he do? Did he introduce or secure the passage of avy drainage laws? Did he introduce and secure the ;passage of any laws at all? The Herald-Review knows of none. Mr. Seaman announces a platform that if carried out» meaas sumething for this district. ‘There may be those who think it strange that the Grand Rapids Magnet bas not espoused Mr. Seaman’s candidacy. ‘Vhat is easily explained. The Magnet rep- resents: D. M. Gunn’s interest, and Mr. Gunn isa candiate for the office of railroad and warehouse comumis- -It is Mr. Gunn’s desire to DARE . harmonize all elements in order to secure a solid delegation from this district’ in his own behalf. If the people consider that Mr. Gunn’s in- terests are greater than their own they will perhaps acquiesce in his scheme for se]f-advancement. But if they are determined to nominate a candidate for the state legislature who will work to secure the enact- ment of beneticial laws, some man may be nominated and elected with- out consideration of Mr. Gunn’s per- sonal interest. If Frank F. Seaman makes a thorough campaign on the platform which he has announced he will be nominated and most probably elected. He is such a man as the Fifiy-second district needs, and the Herald-Review issincerein the hope that the Re- publicans will be wise enough to make him their candidate. BUILDING AND LOAN Grand Rapids Local Association Meeting With Gratifying Suc- cess and Promises to Develop Rapidly--- New Issue of Stock Offered to Public. The Grand Rapids Building and Loan association 1s only a little more vhan six months old, but it is a vigor- ous youth and promises to rapidly de- velop into a prosperous business in- stitution of more than ordinary pro- portions. A new issue of stock has recently been made and several appli- cations have already been received by Secretary Yancey. Ifthe real merits of the Building and Loan association were understood there would be very few people in Grand Rapids who would not be holders of stock to a greater or less extent. Anyone who may be in- terested in the subject should call at ary’s . Ape -and sakes some nquiries as to the working of the plan, and note the names of the sub- scribers. hose who were the first to subscribe for stock were tie leading business nen of the town. They real ized that it wasa safe and profitable investment and at the same time would prove to be a most potent force in the sbstantial upbuilding of Grand Rap‘ds. It enab'es the man of moderate means to build and pay for his own home as no other agency can. There are very few wen working for wages who could not own their homes in a very few years and in the mean- time pay no more each month than they are now paying out in ‘rent. There is another very desirable feat- ure connected with the plan of the association that may not be generally understood, but which is very import- ant. Any holder of stock may with- draw the full amount paid in at any time be may so elect. If the stock has run until a profit has been earned that amvunt will be added to the full amount paid and tarned over to the subscriber. ‘This plan provides against loss to holders of stock who for any reason may be unable or un= willing to longer contirue their pay- ments. Mr. Robert Grignon, who has been employed at the Itasca paper mill, was one of the first sub- scribers for stock when the Building and Loan association was organized. He has accepted a position with an- other paper concern ina Wisconsin town and before leaving he desired to withdraw the amount he had paid in. It was only necessary for bim to make application for the money, giving thirty days notice, when it was promptly returned to him. The sec- retary and treasurer, Mr. W. C. Yancey and L. M. Bolter, the only Officers of the association who handle any of its money, are under surety bonds for a sum greater than they will have in their keeping at. any one time. This insures absolute security of the funds of the association at all times. Charges Against Jones. Washington authority gives it out | that charges of drunkenness and con- sequent inability to do the work of his office have been filed against | Register Jones of the Land Office by A.G. Bernard. We venture to pre- dict that some day in the far away future, Mr. Bernard will file charges against Gabriel, believing he will more eminently fill the position of trumpet-tocter—having so long and faithfully tooted his own trumpet— particularly.if there is a salary at- tached.—Cass Lake Times. Two Do.iars A YEAR. ‘WILL MEET APRIL (8TH Itasca County Agri- cultural Association Will Hold Annual Meeting on Monday, April 18th at the Vil- lage Hall in Grand Rapids. The annual meeting of the Itasca County Agricultural association will be held on Monday afternoon, April 18th, at 2 o’clock in Village hall, Grand Rapids. At this meeting officers for the ensuing year will be elected, and such other matters discussed and acted upon as may properly be brought up for considera- tion. In the past it has been the ex- perience that few farmers have at« tended the meetings of the associa- tion and the transaction of business has largely devolved upon the bus- iness men of Grand Rapids. This fact is a matter of regret, as a county fair cannot be made a complete suc- cess unless the farmers take an active interestin the association’s affairs. While the annual exhibits at Grand Rapids have been a surprise even to those who are familiar with the wonderful productiveness of this section, they might be made still more attractive and more elaborate if the farmers would give the assist- ance that must come entirely from their fields, gardens and live stock. This result would follow if farmers wouldattend the meetings and take an interest in the business affairs of the organization and assist in direct- ing its policy to a greater extent than they have in the past. It is hoped that the meeting a week from next Monday will be largely attended by the farmers of the county. One very important matter that will receive consideration at the annual meeting will be the matter of preparing the the new grounds ready for the 1904 fair. . Forty-five acres of land adjoin- ing the village on the north is now owned by the county, which will be used for fair grounds. When this tract of land is put in proper condi- tion Itasca county will have an ideal track and grounds and our fairs will hecome prominent among those of northern Minnesota. The associa- tion should endorse strong resolu- tions urging early action to be taken in preparing the grounds for use this year. There is nothing to prevent the continuance of the work com- menced last fall, and by September next everything shoud be in readiness for holding the fair on the new grounds. The fair of 1904 will be the twelfth annual exhibition made under the auspices of the [tasca County ‘Agriculture association, and it should far excell all former efforts in that direction. To make a com- plete sucess of a county fair itis necessary to begin preparation early in the spring. By the election of a competent set of officers the first thipg necessary will haye been ac- complished, and thereafter push the improvements until the work is com- pleted. To Abate a Nuisance. The local authorities have finally determined to put astop to a most abominable nuisance that has long prevailed in Grand Rapids, and for this determination they will receive the thanks of all ladies and yentle- men Who patronize the Village hall when public entertainments are given there. A few half-grown toughs may object tothe new arrangements, but they will have to abide by it or suf- fer the consequences. They are the chaps the authorities are after, Very few entertaintments are given at the hall that are not disturbed by young ruffians who gain admittance and occupy seats in the rear of the room. The Herald-Review has call- ed attention to this disturbance on several occasiuns in the past, and we are pleased-to announce that it has been decided to not only eject dis- turbers from the hall but to take them to jail where they will remain at least until the next morning, when they will be given a hearing on a charge of disturbing the peace. If they are found guilty they will be fined or committed for a numberof days. No exceptions will be made in any case, no matter who the owner of the boy may be. Parents who are engaged in the industry of raising candidates for prison may save them- selves much humiliation by using their influence to correct the morals of their offspring befare it is tao late
