From atumber of quarters in the Northern Minnesota district comes the complain that the gyme laws are being violated right and left, and that there is dearth of game wardens to prevent the wholesale slaughter of game that is going on, says a report in the Duluth News Tribune, This, it is claimed applies to patridges, the open saison for which began last Sat- uraay, and alsu to deer. The killlng of deer is said to be carried on with impunity, particularly in the districts adjuining the range towns and the sportsmen claim that they are power- less tu stop the practice. Appeals to the state game authorities have met with the response that the appriopras ticn and protection of game acd fish has been exhau- sted and the state game commission has its bands tied. Itis claimed, how- ever, that the voluntary Offers -of personas to act as deputy game ward- ens without pay have been tyirned down. The story concludes wi the statement that venison is being sould openly in Grand Rapids, and that the reason for removing the wardens from Itasca county was due to the failure of the officers to secure convictions. This is uews io the people of Grand Rapids. a Special Village Levy. The special taxes to be paid by pro- perty owners in Grand Rapids for sidewalk improvemeuts aud sewers put in during the present year will foot up to about $4,900. ‘The cost of sewerage improvements will be paid in three yearly installments.

WERE NEAR TO DEATH. St. Paul and Duluth Sportsmen Have Narrow Escape ow Big Lake Jessie. After a flerce battle with the waves on Rig. Lake Jessie, in which they were compelled to throw overboard nearly 400 pounds of their belongings including guns, ammunition, tents, ducks and packsacks, a party of six Duluth and St. Paul sportsmen return- ed last Sunday to Duluth from a hunt- ing trip in}the Bowstring country, says the Herald. The party was composed of Attor- ney General W. J. Donahower, Leon TT. Chamberlain and Al Fisher of St. Paul, Dr. W. H. Magie, Dr. W. A. Kaake and M. A. Thompsvu, of Du- luth. The sportsmen had been oat for an extended hunting trip and on starting for Duluth Saturday morning had to cross Big Lake Jessie iti tasa county. The St. Paul men took one boat, a light craft of frail construction, and the Duluth men took a regular duck- hunting boat. The Duluth boat care ried 400 pounds of freight including the guns, ammunition, ducks abd packsacks. ‘The St. Paul boat was burdened by an additional man, a young settler who was taken along to return the boats. At the time the start was made there were no signs of astorm, The lake is about one and one half miles across, and the juurney was about half tinished when a heavy gale sprang up. Fortunately forthe Duluth men, Mr. Thompson, who is an experienced oarsmen aud a member of the boat club, was at the oars. He swung the bow to the waves and saved the boat from being capsized. But the waves were dashing over the sides, and pour- ing into the light craft which was burdened almost to the water’s edge with the heavy load. The othe two occupants of the boat commenced bailing vigorously with their caps, but the water was steadily gaining on them. There was no alter- native but to sacrifice the freight. The Leavy packsacks were thrown overboard, to be followed by the ducks shot during the trip. Then went s enty-flve pounds of cartridges and everything but the guns. The boat was sufficiently lightened to enable the two doctors to keep it above water by vigorous bailing. Meanwhile the boat containing the serious condition. It was less heavily joaded. however, and the expert hand- ling of.the youngsettler kept it ativat. Mr. Donahower sat in a positiou where he could see the Duluth men frantic ally throwing the freight overboard, but stated that he did.not dare tet! his companions whose backs were turned, L St. Paul men was in a scarcely less} lest they shord lose their heads. The storm was short lived as it was sudden, and after about tes minutes it’s fury was greatly abated, and the two boats were able to turn and make for the shore.

The Manufacture of Concrete Blocks for Building Sidewalks, Ornamental Fencing Ete., One ‘of the Latest In- dustries in Grand Rapids. Very little attention has been paid, to an. important industry that was, established in Grand Rapids about, fonr months ago by Freestone & Treft, for the manufacture of con- crete blocks to be used in the erec-' tion of buildings, sidewalks, orna- mental fencing, chimneys, etc. The factory is located on Fourth street between Houghton and+ Hoffman avenues, and is row owned by James F. Freestone & Company. Jesse Freestone dnd Mr. Treft were the original promoters of the enterprise,’ but Che latter’s interests were re- cently acquired by James F. Free- stone and the business is now exclu- sively owned and managed by the two brothers. The first requisite vf the factory isacertain quality of coarse sand. This is found here in abun- dance. he concrete turned out from this factory has stood the test of time. It is expected that: the greatest use to which it will be put, when once the public understands its. real worth, will be the construction of residences and business blocks, A similar factory haa been in apera- tion in Bemidji for more than a year and a uumber of residences have been constructed with this material, They are considerably more econimi- cal and cheaper than stone or brick; and far more ornamental. The con- crete is made of sand and cement in such proportions that an almost un~ breakable stone is manufactured, It is claimed that it has been proven, that a cement building block, prop- erly constructed, will outwear a bloc, of ordinary stone. ‘There are several different styles of blocks made and al- so different sizes. Corner blocks are made and also all kinds of stone for the construction of foundations, yer- andas and walls. For sidewalks. is claimed that it cannot be excelled. Up to the present time the firm has operated along very modest lines and has not boasted a great deal about the quality of their product. Next scason the Messrs Freestone expect to enlarge their plant and greatly in- crease the capacity ,of the foctory. When cold weather begins they will have to suspend operations until spring, as the blocks must be kept out of the reach of frost during the drying process. It 1s the intention of the firm to produce a large quan- tity of sidewalk material next season, Tim Mahon’s Announcement. Wheu Sheriff Hoolihan took charge of the Magnet he at once installed Deputy Tim Mahon as magnaging editor. Tim: wrote a salutatory and put it on the “hook”. The sheriff reserved the right, however, when he put Tim in charge, to pass judgment on everything that went into the paper. The following announcement was about the first production from Tim's pen that met with the high sberiff’ desapproval. He read it over, rolled it up in a small bunch and firet it into the street. A Herald-Review reporter happened along about that time and picked itup. It is worthy of space in these columns and is gladly published: SALUTATORY. To the reading populace of the northwest: Ihereby announce the policy to be manit- ained by The Magnate.
