Secretary Hitchcock has:before him the official proclamation for tie oped- ingof the agricultdral lands on the Chippewa Indian reservation, says a Washington dispatch. All lands which have been classified as agricul- tural are included, excepting a por- tion of the Leech Lake land, in the south part of Cass county, where the Indian allotments haye not vet been made. The secre'ary has fixed the date for the opening, which will be June lth. Settlers who file entries must be actual. citizens, who have not successfully entered a homestead _ before. These lands are all outside of the national for- est reserve, and embrace a very desir- able area. The secretary’s proclama- tion provides for the opening of 248,- 745 acres of agricultural land in the Boise Fort, Pigeon, Winnebegoshish and Chippewa reservations, and a small tract in the Red Lake. ‘The latter does not include the lands in Red Lake provided for in Represent- ative Steenerson’s bill. They Overlooked Something Good. The southern Minnesota farmers: who fell over themselves a year or so.ago in their mad rush for the weil: advertised farming land of the Can+ adian northwest, are now getting back over the line as rapidly as their strength will allow, and in the future they will probably be satisfied to let well enough alone. They realize that they were gold-bricked by the allur- ing prospectus of theland agent. Many of the disappointed ones are joinirg the influx of settlers to the rich ag- ricultural lands in northern Minne- sota, which have never yet failed in their promises.—Ore, Hibbing. Of Interest to Horsemen E. L. Buck, of Hill City, has pur- chased and shipped to Grand Rapids last week what 1s probably the finest specimen of a Percheron draft horse that has ever been shown here. He isa full bood, black Percheron stal- lion, 5 years old, and was imported last season from France, by Robt Burgress & Son of Wenona, Ill., the greatest importers and breeders of draft stallions in America. This .horse, whose registered name is “Heno,” is registered in the Percherog Stud Book of America and also in France He is to be kept for the pres- ent season at Steven’s Daro, Grand Rapids, where be can now be seen tiy enquiring of A.

R. encampment and the Wood then’ 'Spicnic was quite well at- tended and those ‘present displayed au interest in the undertaking that bespeaks success for it. There were many not present who should have been there, but it is presumed they will be ready whenathe time comes to do. their fullshare. Last year Park Rapids provided for the care and en- tertainment of the firemen and Wood- men to the entire satisfaction of all visitors. Grand Rapids can certainly du as well. It is only necessary to ex- ercise a little executive ability in making preparations~ in order to pro- vide comfort for all visitors. A wise selection was made in plac- ing H. D, Powers at the head of the citizens committee. He will enterinto the discharge ofshis duties with en- Ubusiasm and the exercise of good judgment. E. J. Farrell was chosen secretary of the permanent organiza- tion and F. P. Sheldon treasurcr. The tollowing gentlemen were named by the chairman “to act as an execu- }tive committee: D.M.Gunn, A. E, Wilder, M. McAlpine, H. S. Huson, Jobn Beekfelt, John Rellis and Harry Williams. On Wednesday afternoon the gen- eral committee met at the court house and appointed the following sub-cummitvees: Reception committee—A. E. Wild- er, W. T. Fay, H. E. Graffam, Dr, C. M. Storck and L. M. Bolter. Piles Hay Milian al Booker aad William We - Decurations~Juhn Beckfelt, J. S. Gole and Frank E. King. Finance—Geo. Riddel, and Wm. Dibbert. ‘Transportation—H. S. Huson, J. A. Stuart and L.

McAlpine, W. P. Nisbett, H. Logan, I. D. Rassmus— sen and F. A. King. A vommittee was also appointed to wait on the council and request that the general committee be granted the privilege of the village in making such arrangements for the event as they may see tit. This committee consists of H. D. Powers, F. P. Shel- don and John Rellis. It now becomes the duty of every citizen of Grand Rapids to resolve himself into a committee of one to do his full share toward making the | tournament, encampment and picnic ‘acomplete success. Even the ladies | will be called upon to do no small share in the way of entertainment. Every house in town should be thrown open to theaccommodation of as many visitors as possible. ‘The committee will call upon household- ersand make a list of the number that can be provided with sleeping accommodations. Our people should be generous in their hospitality and shrink not frum a little inconveni- ence. Itis in this way that large crowdsof peuple are taken care of even in the larger cities of the coun- try. Grand Rapids should not be be- hind the times. Do as the people of St. Louis are doing to privide for mil- lions of peuple who will visit the fairin that city the coming summer. ‘Throw the town wide open and everybody be a committee on entertainment unto himself. Itis the hospitality that will be extended that will leave the lasting impression upon the stranger, When the finance cemmittee calls A. B. Clair with no selfish regrets. come back either directly or indi- rectly. E.N.

Kremer, the schooi board for district No. 1, selected Prof. E. A. Freeman, late of the Pelican Rapids schools, as superintendent of the Grand Rapids schools for the next Mr. Freeman is a young man of good executive ability and comes bighly recommended by the state educational authorities. Prof. W. B, Stuart, who has charge of the schools at present, tendered his resignation some time ago. Mr. Stuart has not decided where his work will be dur- ing the next year, but he has had sev- eral offers to take charge of high schools in some of the larger towns of the state. Misses Bossard, DeAr- ment, Sutton and Aubery declined re- election. They are abie educators and gave excellent satisfaction to the board, pupils and parents of the school, Their services are eagerly sought and if they desire to continue in school work they will find no diffi- culty in securing desirable positions. The following teachers were appuint- ed: High school, Clarabelle Chappelle; 9th grade, Katherine Conneli, of Waterville; 6th grade and prindipal of school, Adelaide Regan; 5th Mar- garet Hunt; 4th, Esther Levy; 3rd, Miss Aiton; 2nd, Miss Fedi; roum 14, Miss Wheelock; Ist, Mrs. Grove. POLICEMAN IS FOUND GUILTY Officer Laundreault Charged With “Holding Out”? on Prisoner Gearson.

Laundreault was a policeman of the village and had arrested Gearson ‘Thursday night at the instance of the night clecrk at Hotel Pokegama. In searching the prisoner Gearson al- leged that the officer had taken $6.75 from his person, The next morning Gearson was tendered $1.55 by Laun- ease was tried on Monday before Justice McEwan and a jury. Consid- erable testimony was taken, but up to 2 o’clock Tuesday morning the jury failed to agree and the justice ordered a discharge of the jury.

From information which has been received regarding the work done for the Great Northern road under the name of E. W. Thompson it is not at all improbable that the Great North- ern will this year begin the develop- ment of a number of properties which have been thoroughly explored dur- ing.the last three years, says a range report to the News Tribune. From an authentic source it has been learned that the exploration work done resulted in the discovery of three large bodies ‘of ore. They were on sections 20 and 29, 54-24 and 30, 56- The exploration of these properties began last summer and un- til last week eight drills were kept steadily employed. The work on 30, 56-25 is near the old Buckeye mine while the other bodies of cre were found near the Canisteo Mining company’s proper- ties.. Owing to the secrecy that sur- rounds the operations of the Great Northern road uo definite informa- as to when the work of development may be expect- ed to begin and as to how large the bodies of ore are which have deen dis- covered. ‘ It is freely predicted however that the finds are among the largest in the history of the range and that they will be developed this year. It is also said that the condition of the ore er, who will furnish fall information |man engaged in the business is more | market will not have any appreciable to breeders. competent to judge than he. t effect upon the development.

In response tw the call fora meet~ ing of the Itasca Couaty Agricultur- al association there was a fairly good- sized representation of citizens pre- sent at Village hall last Monday afternoon. President Frank Freestone called the meeting to order, and the first business transacted was the reading of reports from Secretary H. E. Graflam and ‘Treasurer F. P. Shel- don. There was subscribed by in- dividuals for the state exhibit last year a total of $660, of which $611 was paid. The expenses of the state ex- hibit amounted tv, $660.36. All pre« miums Were promptly and fully paid last year and after the final settle- ment was made there remained in the hands-of the treasurer $157. The State appropriation will be between $250 and $275. The matter of making a state exhibit was discussed and the opinion appeared to prevail: that it would not be advisable to undertake the enterprise this year, but rather to expend what money that can be raised to improvement: of the new fair grounds, © A committee was appointed to ap- pear befure the next meeting of the board of county. commissivuers to urge action in the matter of improv- ing the recently acquired tract of land preparatory to holding the next fair. The gentlemen appointed ure Secre- tary Graffam, I. D. Rassmussen and J. W. Aiton, It was the sense of those present that early action in this’ matter was very important. There are forty-five acres of land adjoining Crystal lake on the northeast now owned by the county and when it has been prepared for fair use will be one of the most attractive exhibit grounds aad race tracks to be found . “Phe arrest followed and the jin: this section of the state. It is earnestly hoped by those interested in the success of our aunual fairs that the county commissioners will take the matter up at once. A Resolution was passed instruct- ing the board of directors to proceed immediately to issue the premium list and cause it to be circulated free- ly throughout the county. Frank Freestone declined a re-elec- tion to_the office of president and A. M. Sisler of Lapraire was elected. The following officers were chosen for the ensuring year: President A. M. Sisler; first vice president, J. M. Eastwood; second vice president, Michael Hagen; third: vice president, John W. Aiton; fourth vice president, Louis Orge; fifth vice president, T. H. Hennessey; secretary, H. E. Graffam (relected); treasurer, F. P. Sheldon (reiccted); directors, E- C. Kiley, J. S. Goleand A. J. Maguire. Notwithstanding the determination of the association not to make a state exhibit this year at the big Hamlin fair, that matter will probably be looked after by private parties and Itasca county’s interest be looked after as heretofore. McGowan and Twohy, E. J. McGowan and P. H. Twohy have purchased the business of Harry Shearer at Winnibigoshish dam and left the first of the week to take charge of the same. The business consists of general merchandise and a hotel. The opening up of the reser= vation wiJl make that a lively point and where there is business to be done these two young men will do it. They will conduct a summer resurt where the tourist will be cared for ia amanner that will make his visita genuine pleasure. There is no better hunting and fishing section to be found in Itasca county ‘than that im- mediately surrounding their head- quarters. For wild ducks it has no \equal when the season opens. Messrs, McGowan & Twohy will be prepared to entertain their Grand Rapids friends in a royal manner, to whom they extend a cordial invitation to call atany hour of the day or night, Members of the ‘Order’ are especial- ly urged to make them a visit when- ever opportunity affords. They wilk institute a lodge of the “Order at once and will be prepared to enter- tain according to the rules and regu- lations thereof at. all times, The Herald-Review joins their many friends in wishing them unbounded success in their undertaking, .
