E AIKEN PROMOTED At the Annual Meeting of the Board of Directors of First National Bank of Grand Rapids Charles E. Aiken Was Chosen Cashier. At the annual January meeting of board of directors Of the First National bank of Grand Rap ds. C. W. Hastings | was re-elected president, F. P. Shel- don, vice- president; and Charles E. Aiken was promoted from the position of assistant cashier to that of cash.er. F. P. Sheldon, now vice-president of the instituuon had served as cashier since the establishment of the bank about thirteen years ago. Mr. Aiken has served as his able. assistant during the past six years, and his ad- vancement is a just recognization of j his sterling worth. The First National bank of Grand Rapids 1s one of the soundest banking houses in Northern Minnesota, and in placing Mr. Aiken in charge as cashier the directors have taken no backward step in the exercise of their good judgment. For a number of years Mr. Aiket) has been terasurer of the village of Grand Rapids, and last November was elected to the position of treasurer of school district No. 1. These repeated honors and confidences at the hands of the people is evidence of his high standing in the community where he has resid- ed so many years, Emoluments of Office.

Itasca County Logger Back froma Trip to the West Where He Has Large Lumber Interests in Company With R. B. Lewis. B, P. Munson arrived ia Grand Rapids the first of the week. He had just returned from a trip to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, where he has recently acyuired large timber interests. In company. with R. B. Lewis and ovber gentlemen, Mr. Munsun is just enter- ing upon the mavufacture of lumber at Goeur d’Alene. He has great faith in the future of that country and looks forward to a prosperous era. The name of the concern of which Mr. Munson is a member and vice- president, is the R. B. Lewis Lumber company. 1b was organized with a capital stock of $800,000. This com- pany sow has one of the largest and best equipped sawwills un the eastern slope of the mountains. It cousists of twe double band mills, with the latest modera machinery for manu- facturing about seventy-five million feet aseason. White piue is the prin- cipal timber sawed, although there are a number of uther varieties of wood in that locality which are pro- duced in limited quaotitics. Yellow, or western pine, as it is sometimes called.ys found in fairly liberalsupply, as is also red tix, which is of quite a different character from the yellow tirof the coast. This Yed-fir is not mueh heavier than the white pine. Thote is also some larch, formerly calléd tamarack. This makes an ex- cell@ot finish and is used largely as a substitute for bardwoods. It is heavy and close grained and takes a high . Mr. Munson says they also have a‘sUpply of very good cedar. The company has ap extensive tract cf timber, which will keep them sawing for the next thirty years to come. ‘Talking of some of the timber in that | gougtry, Mr. Munson says that numer- ous §pecimens of western pine could und. which would cut eleven and ye sixteen-foot loys. These trees pdittle taper. In fact, he has yn of three jogs cut from the tree which scaléd identically Huson, $549.85; Superintendent of Schoois Booth. $653; Surveyor Mur- chils £6co. fuak me figure. The white pine also large and is of quite a high character. ‘e bs urge the passage of the Cole bill for, ing the salient features of the bill pre- j ure is anxious for his con-| DOINGS IN DISTRICT COURT Last Monday afternoon Judge Spooner again took up the district court business and on Wednesday Judge McClenahan relieved him and 1s continuing ‘the term. The state is having a most disas- rous run of luch in prosecuting cases | this term. ‘The evidence in the case of the state vs. Oskar Kupari, charged with having set a spriag guu last winter which was accidently dis- charged and nearly killed George Washington Pancake, was acqunitted. Kupari was suspected of the crime, but evaded the officers for some time. When he was finally caught by Shenff Hoolihan it was felt that the strong evidence at hana would result in a verdict of guilty by a jnry. ‘The cout appomted Attorney A. L. Thwing to defend the accused, and he handled the case in a manner that resulted in an acquittal. Attorney Frank F, Price appeared before the court and entered a plea of former acquittal by virtue of tne ver- dict in the former trail of Wm. Reyn- olds on the charge of arson. He was sustained by the court and Reydolds is a free man. In cases where defendants plead guilty County Attorhey Spear finds | no difficulty in securing convictions. In the cases of L.-‘foms and Fred Decker, they pleaded guilty to petit larceny and were given ninety days each in the county jail. Abner Toms, charged with grand larceny in the second degree, was dis- charged on motion of the county attorney. S George Woods pleaded guilty to the charge of malicious distruction of property and was fined $100 and_ sen- tenced to ninety days in the’ county jail. Alter boarding Wm. Flynn in the county jail for several months at the instance of County Attorney Spear, on a charge of aiding the escape of a prisoner, he was finally given hrs hberty on the motion ot Spear. Flynn had personally defended his own case in court on a criminal charge, which was prosecuted by Mr. Spear at the last term of court. Spear at he.had a cinch en Flynn and when an acquittal followed the vengeful attorney. was given the “horse laugh.” Flynn was again thrown in jiil and. there retained at county expense until the state was forced to call the case for trial. When he could be held no jonger on pretext Spear moved his discharge. ‘Lhe case of Andee Hanna, another grand larceny charge, was also nol- lied by the county attorney. Getting Even at County Expense James A. Stuart came up from Duluth yesterday in response to a summons for his presence in Judge McClenanan’s court. He will give testimony in the case of George H. Spear against the board of county commissioners for the allowance ofa billin favor of Mr. Stuart while he was publisher of the Magnet.* Mr. Spear could not make use of Editor Stuart and hence he proposes to get even by putting the county to several hundred dollars expense by bringiing Mr. Stuart into court to defend his rghts and collect that to which he is justly entitled. This is the same case in which Spear, as county attorney, protested against the payment of a bill in the sum of $100 to the Heraid- Review. ‘Ihe case was tned to a jury in district court at an expense of about $300 aud the jury found that the services performed were in keep- ing with the charges and a verdict was returned in favor of the Heraid- Review. In order to satisfy Mr. Spear’s spite Itasca county was com- pelled to pay out about $300 in hard cash. ‘The case now pending is identically the same. Mr, Spear has more spite and Itasca county has more money to pay for it. Registrations Neglected. When the Herald Review applied to Town Clerk McMahon for a hst of the births end deaths in the township of Grand Rapids during the past year that official announced that he had no record thereof, except in a few in- stances. ‘The reason given by him was a very good and sufficient one. He had not been supplied by the proper persons with the facts. It 1s the duty of every attending physician ata birth or death to report the fact at once to the town clerk. It is also the duty of everv undertaker.'to make reports of burials to the town clerk. The law requires both physicians and undertakers to do this, It has not ‘as straight as an arrow, with. been done in Grand Rapids township, Mrs. J. B. Bennington of Bemidji, formerly a’ resident here, visited with Grand Rapids friends a couple of days the first of the week. She was on her way to Grand Rapids, Mich., to visit relatives.
