Influence of Bro. Shire. In commenting on the result of the late primary election the Northome News says: ‘If you want to knock a Republican just send a Democrat out to boost for him.’ And again it makes the following observation: “It looks passing strange to see a Democratic cormty wheel horse come here and stump the town fora Re- publican. But, then, you know poli- tics makes strange bed fellows.” The quoted Jine= from the News probably refers to the Herald-Review. In reply thereto it is énly neccessary to call attention to the fact that the had been boosting Spear for several mouths past while never a word was spoken in McCarthy’s be- half at Northome until within two days prior to the primaries, und yet the latter received a majority of the voles in that village. This wou'd indicate that if you want to knock a candidate just’ start Shire and his News out to boost for him, If the Northome News could have had one more week at it Spear would have been shieer of yotes in that village than a henis of teeth. Ag to the strange appearance of a ‘Democratic county wheelhorse” stumping for a Republican, there is nothing strange about it. There were but two can%- dates for the office of county attornty, Republicans, and hence there was no clivice, politically. No redu. able citizen would deny the right of all electors to interest themselve in the nomination, without regard to politi The editur of the Herald- . exercised that right, and, evidently, with good effect at Northome. | Frank F.

A continuous residence in Itasca county of more than a dozen makes Mat Spang eligibie to membership in the old sett ers assoc ation—i sueh an organization existed here. The first service periurmea in this county by Mr. Spang was as principal of the Laprarie: public schools a dozen years ago when that village was the Jargest and most prosperous in the county. As an Fducator lte ably discharged his duties and proved his effici- ency and ability. Later he was employed as a log scaler, in which capacity he won the contidence and esteem of all with whom he was associated. As such he gained an extensive acquaintance aud where le li icquaintances he has friends. This fact will be demonstrated when the November votes are counted, Since January first, 1903, he has served the people of Ltasca county as deputy sheriff and in that position he has givea eminent satisfaction.

The weather was as if made to order for the two days of the county fair. .Thursday morning dawned bright with a most perfect tempera- ture and Friday was no less a perfect autumn day. Exhibits began to arrive early Thursday morning and kept Secretary Graffman busy until time limit was called on Friday. The secretary was very liberal and gave belated exhibitors every opportunity consistent with an elastic construc- tion of the rules of the association. The greatest advertising that Itasca county could possibly get would have been delegates from other states, where crop failures are common, to inspect the specimens on exhibition in the several divisions. Vegetables predominated in the main building, but the display of cereals were there in abundance. The ladies of the county are entitled togreat credit. for the enterprise shown in the divi- sions that come under their super- vision. The culinary, dairy products, household ‘manufactors and tine arts: were all especially meritorious. In live stock it was noticeable that the number of entries and the improye- in quality had taken a very decided advance during the past year, There were a totatof 676 entries as against: 460 last year. The exhibits of vege-- tables made by M. Hagen, Emil Litchke, P. S. Kinney, A. M. Sisler~ and Mrs. Partridge were worthy of more than passing notice. Courtney Buell dis 1 thirteen varieties of potatoes which attracted a great dexl of attention and favorable com- ment. Among the larger exhibitors: of live stock were Dave Cochran, Al Philips, J. M. Erstwood, R. J. Bast- wood, Leroy Wheaton and R. Mee Leanan. In the liue of culinary those who made exhibits that were conspicuous for size and geueral ex- cellence were Mrs. Litchke, Caroline Eastwood, Mrs. Hagen, Mrs. Lord, Mrs. R. J. Eastwood, Mrs. Al Roaker aud Mrs. P. 8. Kenney, The Logging Outlook. The Mississippi Valley Lumber- man, generally to be relied upon in its logging prognostications, forecasts is fullows for the coming season: “The early preparations for the logging operations this winter are just being made. The prospects for tlight log crop are good- ‘The con- cerns Which are now starting their ‘rews in the work of repairing and improving the camps announce that they will not increase their output any, and that the probabilities are strong for a still greater curtailment of the preduction this coming season, (Chere are many causes which will bring about this policy on the part of the producers, chief among which will be the expected slow reyival of throughout the country.
