The railroad and warehouse com- missioners returned yesterday from a tour of inspection of the lines of the Canadian Northern in Minnesota, with the promise of the road’s officials that the commission’s recommenda- tions will be heeded. ‘I'he commis- sion was accompanied by Supt. Brown and general Manager A. E. James of Witinepeg on the trip, which was made to investigate complaints from by the road. ’ : Seyeral sidetracks and loading plat- forms are asked, and the commission will probably order some put in. One sidetrack is asked between Warroad and the boundary line, but may not be put ia. as Warroad is the last cus- tom office, and it is feared the gov- ernment would object to a depot be- tween the Warroad custom office and the boundary. The conditions along the line, ac- cording to Commissioner Staples, are not so bad as bas been reported, and the road is duing everything in its power to improve them. The system of bookkeeping of the road will be revised so that as to furnish informa- | tion required by the Minnesota laws. —Pioneer Piees, | Exeursiou to Lake Superior July 22nd.

COHASSET’S BIG CELEBRATION The Fourth Was Most Appropriately Celebrated by the Patriotic Citi-+ zens of Our Neighboring Village, and by Unanimous Consent It Was Pronounced the Best Ever Held in the County. It was a genuineold-fashion Fourth- of-July celebration with all the mod- ern accoutrements added thereto, was that provided by the patrfotic, hospitable and ‘enterprising citizens of Cohasset last Monday. And it seemed that Grand Rapids was there to enjoy it—and they did enjoy itin fullameasure. The program as: pub- lished was carried out with many ine teresting features added. * There was an air of genuine hospitatily that made all visitors feel at’ home from the moment they entered the pre- cincts of the municipality. Grand Rapids people folluwed the advice of the Herald-Review and turned out eu masse, 2nd uone regretted that they responded to the invitation ex- tended. The yormal opening of the day’s program was made by Thos. A, McHugh. He read that immortal ducument—the Declaration of Inde- pendence--in a wauer that did credit to his abilities as a reader whose heart responded in sympathy with the sentiments therein enunciated. At the conclusion of the reading Mr. Geo. H. Spear was introduced as the orator of the day. He surprised the audience with an able oration that was apparently unprepared for the occasion, and at once gained a reputa tion as one of the really great public speakers of this great northwest. Following the dinner. hour the -after- noon was enjoyed by the vistitors and citizens at log-rolling, pavillion dancing and steamboat excursions on the Mississppi. In the eveninga mag- nificent display of fireworks took place on the south side of the river. The Grand Rapids band had been engaged by the committee and full credit was done to the well establish- -ed reputation of that. splendid organ- ization. The town was alive with” music during the whole day and to lateinto the night. While the: vil- lage was literally crowded withpeople from early morn to late into. the morning of the fifth, be it said to the credit of Cohasset that there was not ap unpleasant occurence during the entire celebration. Thete was no sentiment except that of enjoyment. Mayor Carrier acted as master of ceremonies throughout the day and proved himself tr be the right man in the right place under all cire cumstances, Landlord Nelson was especially attevtive to his hundreds of guests at the Bass Brook hotel and unly words of praise were heard in his behalf. The Messrs Skelly Bros. were equally well engaged and they proved themselves to be most perfect entertainers at the Pioneer. Of course George Moore was there and he was one of the indispensable hosts of such an occasion, Mr. and Mrs. Morris O’Brien entertained a party of about twenty-five invited guests for dinner at their pleasant home. Dioner was served on the lawn and the guests certainly did jus+ tice to the rare delicacies that ladened the tables. Truthfully Advertised. The art of advertising has grown to such gigantic proportions witwin the past few years. and has been adopted by so many different kinds of business, that the circuses alone do not have the field to themselves as they formerly did. However the Tent Shows still have the field of veracity before them, very few of which confine their advertising to withip the limit of actual events displayed in tne Show. One excep- tion, however, that dves, is Gentry Bros, Famous Shows United. For imany years their advertisments have been minutely correct aud truthful regarding the yarious acts in the Show. ‘The posters displayed by Gen- try Bros. this season are indeed a work of art and haye attracted more thay ordinary attention in this city.
