GEO. C. McALLISTER,* Recorder’ logging Logging Horse Co., mes | triumphal gtour of the surrounding _| Blanche Dewey of Boston, made a THE WORK b THAT COUNTS The other day the Aitkin Com- mercial club gave a splendid fHustra- tion of one way in which an organ- ization of that kind can make itself useful to its town—especially if the town happens to be dependent in large measure upon the agricultural development of the country surround- ing tt—and nearly every village and city is thus dependent, to a greater or less extent. As guests of the club, many farm- ers of the vicinity assembled in Aitkin ;to listen to some expert discussions of agricultural problems. In the forenoon Sup. McGiure of the state farm at Grand Rapids gave an excellent talk on agricultural subjects, and was es- pecially emphatic in his advocacy of potato culture. He declared that when acreage, economy of growing and certainty of profit Oue year with another, are considered, potatoes are thé best proposition for quick returns within the reach of Aitkin county j farmers today. ‘This statement applies not ‘only, to Aitkin county but throughout this section. Mr. McGuire said his experiment had shown a return cf about 1.000 j bushels from six acres and last year after wintering they brought a dollar a bushel. He reminded his hearer that even at iwenty-five cents and filty cent a bushel potatoes are a good crop and the farmer always has a few acres 1s in line when the dollars prices come.—Duluth Tribune. Miss Dewey’s Solo Makes Impression. The following is taken from the Duluth Evening Herale of Tuesday. “Flaaten,s Lhird Regiment band was greeted at the Lyceum bv a large audience, after its return frotm its tuwns, and the program which was slightly lounger than usual was exce tionally good. The singing by Miss decidedly favorable impression. Her number was the German's “Love the Peddler.” She received a heartly and insistent encore and responded by singing Mrs. Spalding,y*Challenge of the Rose.” Both were exception- ally pretty pumbers and Miss Dewey’s swéet mezzo-soprano voice well fitted to them. Her yeice is strong and sympathetic and she 1s a fine soloist in every way. Miss Dewey made her inital appearance in Duluth Sunday morning at the First Presbyterian church, singing in the offertory solo. ete will be absent from Duluth fora few weéks, but will return shortly and will likely be frequently heard herein solo and concert work Of the band numbers a medly “Blue Bell’ was probably the biggest hit of all. ‘The inediey is stirring and foot- entranging, but far from fascinating for a Waguer enthusiast. TRUANCY P IS GROWING Circular letters weae sent out last week by W. H. Wilhams, stete labor commissioner, to the city and county -superintendents of schools, calling at- tention to the laws of the state rela- tive to attendance of children at school. He thinks that a rigid en- forcement of the school laws ultimate- ly wilfdecrease child labor to a mmni- mum; Complaints have been coming into the office of the labor commis- sioner “becausetof the prevalence of truancy. The text of the letter sent to the school officials folloms: “Chapter 226, General Laws of 1899, authorizes excuses. from school at- tendance of children between fourteen and sixteen years of age, for the fol- lowing reasons: “When ‘the labor of the child is necessary tor his, own or his parents’ support, When the parents, by rea- son of poverty, are unable to properly ‘cloth the child, When the child’s | child at any. occupatiou dangerous to hte, limb, health or morals. “For the purpose of a better control of child labor the superintendents are | requested from: time to time, or at least the end of the school sessions, to report all cases of truancy to this department, “{tismy opinion thot a rigid en- forcement of the child labor laws will be of great assistance to the school superintendents iu keeping children n schocl, and your earnest support of this. measue is theretore solicited.” PIKE SEASON j OPENS MAY 1 Owing toa mistake that has been mde con some advertising matter put out by dealers in sporting goods, purporting to give a digest of the Minnesota and Wisconsin state game laws, there has been some confusion caused as to the real date of opening of the pike fishing season, According to the statutes, however, the open season is from May 1 to March 1 in Minnesota, and from May 25 to March 1 in Wisconsin. This means that Minnesota flsher- men may fish for pike in the streams of this state beginning May 1 next, but they must wait until May 25 be- fore tishiug for pike in Wiaconsin waters. The fact that there is such a wide differencein time, almost a month, in the dates of open season for pike in the two states has often caused confusion among the fishermen. The opening of the season in this state May J, will be duly appreciated by fishermen in this vicinity, for the fish begin running up the river to spawnjearly in April and the fishing is usually at its best in May. IRON ORE AT | GRAND RAPIDS It has been a well-known fact that there are deposits of iron ore in the | immediate vicinity of Grand Rapids, ays the Duluth News Tribune, and although they nave attracted capital- isis; there has never been anything deflnite done toward prospecting and finding out the true value of the deposits. Last week, however, there were parties here securing options on the land immediately north of the Village limits, ine!uding and adjoin- ing the lands of James Passard. Al Hutchinson, and others in that vicin- ity. The parties who are getting the options are Louis Rouchleau and Robert Whiteside of Duluth, and their agent, W. P. Lardner of Du- | luth was interviewing the parties concerned last: week. The ’ Marr, aud Farrell- properties in see- tion 3 of Grand Rapids. will aiso be explored, options on the same having been already given, and itis expect- ed that within the next thirty days there will be workmen ou the land with the necessary equipment for testing the nature of the dirt. George Fay. L. F. Kuox,’John Beck- felt and W. ©. Gilbert have given op- tions un their lands in section 8 of Grand Rapids and there will also be explorations there iu a short time. The Benefits of Advertising. Occasionally there is found an ade | vertiser whu expects to reap an in- stant profit upon bis investment. He advertises and awaits the rush of custom and if it does not come as soon as time has been had to read his advertisment. he argues that adver- tising is no good. One might just as well expect to sow wheat today and eat bread from it tomorrow as to ex pect instant returns from advertising. Advertising is cumulative. The! good advertiser is like a good farmer, Hl the good lawyer, the good promoter— he keeps everlastingly at it. Adver- ; tising will buiid up and enlarge any business as has been demonstrated thousands of times, but the process | is a gradual one. 16 is slow but cer- tain. Blackduck to be Closed. A well founded report comes from Blackduk to the effect that=because | of trouble between the successful and | unsuccessful factions in the recent village election held in that city may result in closing up the town. It is health prevents his attendance at school, or when he is being laught at {home subject to school examination. When he ‘has acquired the ordinary branches requred-by, law. When he actually engaged in some useful oc- cupation, employment or service per- mitted by jaw. “Such school excuses, however, do not authorize the emptopment of any stated upon good authority tbat | threats have been made by unsuccess- ful faction that unless certain conces- sions were made by the village coun- cil complaint would be made to the authorities and the town would be JUSTICE NOT SYMPATHY The editor of the Grand Rapids In- dependent pays us a nice little com- pliment in its issue and then delivers a lecture on the folly of our express- ing the'sympathy for Mrs. Jos. Gard- ner in her effort to secure justice for her husband, says the Border Budget. We desiie to relieve the mind of our neighbor editor of the allegation that we are attempting to vent our spite on any public servant. If we have any criticism to make it will be made cpenly and candidly, without stoop- ing to insinuations, The Indepen- dent takes the position that when a person is convicted and a penalty imposed, that the unfortunate offend- er could not be otherwise than guilty, regardless ot whether the crime war- ranted the severity of the penalty or not, andj therefore is not entitled to any sympathy. It such is the case the state had better, do away with its board of pardons, for they would only be a decorative and costly burden to the state, and3would have no tuission of justice to perform. We cannot concur with the Independent on such a course. While many criminals escape justice, others are pumshed too severely, and such we believe to be true in Gardnes’s case, and we firmty believe that had Bro. La Fre- niere been present at the trial, noticed the desire that some of the jurymen showed to be accepted, heard the the testimony and listened to the Judge who, on imposing the penalty stated that while he had never been called upon to perform a duty that he so greatly regretted, regardless of his. own feeling, he was compelled to in}- pose the penalty directed by the ver- dict, that he woulda not hesitate to admit that justice in this instance had run amuck. Newspapers in general all over the northern part of the state commented on the brands of justice delivered by the petit juries of Itasca county in the cases of Gardner and Reynolds, while the papers of this county remained shametully silent, a sad but truthful admission that the criticism was well merited. AFFECTS THE CHIPPEWAS The decision rendered Monday by the United States supreme court has avery important hearing on ceded Chippewa Indian lands in Mianesota. Justice Brewer, in an elaborate opinion which is concurred in by the other justices, holds that where lands have been granted and allotted in sey- eralty to Indians, the Indians become citizens of the United States, and are no longer wards of the nation. ed reservatious in Minpesova is in thecase itself, which is exactly similar to one now pending before the United States court of appeals in Minuesota, having been sent up from a very re- cent decision of Judge Lochren, who held that the ceded Chippewa lands were still a reservation and that liquor could not be sold to Ludians on the reservation. The. particular case is that of frank Gorfflo, who undertook te open asajoon at a new town called Ball Club onthe former reservation, All of the Iudians in that vicinity haye been granted their allotments, and the heads of families have become voters and €itizens. Justice Brewer of the supreme court holds that when an Indlan be comes a citizen it places him outside of police power of congress. He goes even further avd holds that an In- dian.to whom an allotment has been made is released from federal super- vision, po matter if his allotment is subject to a condition against allina- tion and incumbrances. Recently Assistant Commissioner of Indian Affairs Larrabee rendered a lung opinion, holding that the In dian ceded Jands in Minnesota are still subject to federal control. This claim is to be hotly contested vy Northern Minnesota people. For two or-three years the citizens who lave taken up lands in the former reservation have been put to incon- veniences. in the Richards townsite case, Maj. Scutt, acting Indian agent caused the arrest of several settlers on the ground that he still bad con- closed up tight and the state law {trol over lands that have long sinee would be strictly enforced.s 1t is claimed the complaint has already been forwarded tw the state authori- ‘ ties--Bemidji Pioneer. passed from control of the Indian depaftment. {n view of this decision by the supreme court, a new phase will be injected into the question.
