THAT COUNTS ‘The other day the Aitkin Com- mercial club gave a’ splendid ittustra- tion of one way in which an organ- iaation 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 it—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 andther, are considered, potatoes are thé best proposition for quick returns within the reach of Aitkin county farmers today. This statement applies [not “only, to Aitkin county but throughout this section. Mr. McGuire satd his experiment had shown a return cf about 1.000 bushels from six acres and last year after wintering they brought a dollar a bushel. He reminded his hearer that even at .wenty-five cents and filty cent a bushel potatoes are a good crop and the farmer always has a few acres 1s in ljne when the dollars prices come.—Duluth Tribune. : Miss Dewey’s Solo Makes Impression.

Lhe singing by Miss Blanche Dewey. of Boston, made a 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,;‘Challenge of the Rose.” Both were exception- ally pretty numbers avd Miss Dewey’s swéet mezzo-soprano voice well fitted to them. Her yoice is strong and sympathetic and she 1s fine soloist in every way. Miss Dewey made her inital appearance in Duluth Sunday morting at the First Presbyterian church, singing in the offertory solo. She will be absent from Duluth fora few weeks, but will return shortly and will likely be frequently heard bere.in 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- entrancing, but far from fascinating for a, Waguer enthusiast. TRUANCY ‘ IS GROWING Circular letters weae sent out last week by W. H. Wihams, 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 willdecrease child labor to a muni- 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- tendarice of children between fourteen gap re so Reduced Freight Rates. : You can save money by shipping your household goods with us to Coast and Western points.

This means that Minnesota fisher- 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 M. 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, says the Duluth News-Tribune, and although they nave attracted capital- isis; there has never been anything definite 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, including 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 ageut, W. P. Lardner of Da- luth was interviewing the parties concerned last week. The Trask, Marr, asd Farrell- properties in sec- tion 3 of Grand Rapids, will aiso be explored, options on the same having been already given, and it is expect- ed that within the next thirty days there will be workmen ou the land with the necessary equipment for testing the nature of tbe dirt. George Fay. L. F. Kuox,’John Beck- felt and W. C. Gilbert have given op- tions un their lands in section 8 of Grand Rapids aud there will also be explorations there iu a short time. The Benefits of Advertising. Occasionally there is found an ad- | vertiser whu expects to reap an in- stant profit upon bis investment. He advertises aud awaits the rush of custom and if it does not come as svon 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, | the good lawyer, the gvod 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. 1t 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 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 child at any. occupation dangerous to | 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, and?would have no uussion 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 flrmiy 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 int- pose the penalty directed by the ver- dict, that he would 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 junes of Itasca county in the cases of Gardner and Reynolds, while the papers of this county remained shametully silent, a sad but truthful admisston that the criticisms 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 Mianesyta. 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. But this direct bearing on the ced- * ed reservatious in Minnesova 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 1iquor could not be sold to Indians on the reservation, The, particular case is that of Frank Gorfflo, who undertook to open asajoon at a new town called Ball Club onthe former reservation. All of the Indians 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 and holds that an In- dian.to whom an allotment has been made is released from federal super- vision, po matter if bis allotment is subject to a condition against allina- tion and incumbrances. Recently Assistant Commissioner of Indian Affairs Larrabee rendered along opipion. holding that the In- dian ceded lands 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 have taken up lands in the former reservation have been put to incon. veniences. in the Richards townsite case, Maj. Seutt, acting Indian agent caused the arrest of several settlers authorities and the town would be on the ground that he still bad con- ‘closed up tight and the state law {trol over lands that. have long since would be strictly enforced. = 1t is| passed from control of the Indian claimed the complaint has already | depaftment. been forwarded to the state authori- " ties--Bemidji Pioneer. {in view of this decision by the supreme court, x new phase Will be injected into the question.
