J W Snyder was an arrival at Grand Rapids Wednesday. e had spent several months in the Canadian north- west where he anticipated taking a homestead, but was unable to find anything that was sufficiently alluring to induce him to remain. About a year ago Mr. Snyder sold his fara of sixty acres on Little Trout lake for $2000, After looking over the in- ducements ofiered in Canada Mr. Snyder has concluded that Itasca county is about the best proposition now in sight. i When the work in progress is finish- ed WC Gilbert and A A Kremer will have two of the handsomest residences and surroundings in this city of hand- some homes. John B Loeyar of Du- luth has contracts to put in cement walks and curbing on the outside line of bouhvards 12 feet wide. ‘The lots are being handsomely “graded and. when completed with sod they will present a most attractive appearance.

James Harrington, a pressman on the Chicago American, was an_ arrival in this metropolis Monday last, and will spend avout three weeks with his brother Frank, who 1s a farmer on Willow river near Hill City.

Grand Rapids lodge, I O O F and the Rebekahs have planned a picnic and boat excursion on Pokegama lake for Labor Day, next Monday.

Wallace Aiken is a lucky young- ster even when he’s unlucky, One day this week the young man tried an experiment with powder that he will not likely repeat for several moons. He got possession of some powder and was curious to see the result of its ignition. His cunosity was soon sat- isfied. ‘The powder exploded in his face. At fisst it was feared that his eyes might have been injured, but in fa day or two he was as lively and clear sighted as ever. There still re- mains some traces of the explosive in his face but time will eliminate them. Wallace is about eight years old. The owners of property on the west side of Leland avenue between Second and Third streets have decided to put in cement walks ten feet wide. The contracts have already been let to John B Loeyar of Duluth at $30 for each 25 feet. A M Johnson~took the initiative in this ‘enterprising move and asa result the entire west half block will soon* be provided with a substantial and lasting walk. ‘The progressive gentlemen who own the property are to be congratulated on their wise decision. They are the real pioneers in the inauguration of cement walks in the business district of the vileEeS al ne tee wenn SRE SEER DESIRE ar oE cere BE ec aap TRE EA ERPS ne ERO OO OPINED gO aE nS NER EAS. SRE Na Oe The weekly shoots of the Itasca Gun club are a thing of the past for the season of 1905, being wound up by ‘the shoot held last Thursday. The season as a whole has been successful und'the holding of the tournament in August attracted attention to the club from all along the line. The handsome Dupont Powder cup which was presented to the club to be shot for during the summer, was won by H. D. Powers who beat Kremer after an exciting race lasting the en- tire summer, and as the cup was shot for by all members from scratch, no handicaps being allowed, Powers is rightfully entitled to be hailed as “Cham peén” for the season of 1905. Following is the score of the Marks- men shooting for the cup: Powers, shot at 120, brok Kremer, shot at 120, broke.. Garis, shot at 120, broke. Luther. shot at 120. brok McAllister, shot at 120, broke Dibbert, shot at 120. broke. McGowan, shot broke Beekfelt, shut at°75, broke Booth, shot at 15, broke. INTENTIONAL! Kremer A.

CLEAN UP THE WATER SYSTEM If there be any law on the statute books of the state, or any provisions in our village ordinance, or even di- rections or suggestions to be found in a last year’s almanac wherein author- ity is vested in any man or body of men to look after the sanitary condi- tions of this town it 1s the duty of such to employ whatever means may be necessary to renovate and filter the village water supply forthwith. It’s rotten; it stinks; it is a sure disease distributor; 1t is dangerous to the pub- he health. ‘Try it by keeping a_ pail full of the stuff over night and inthe morning note the blanket of filth that has raised to the surface. Taste it and you will feel like taking a disinfectant for your mouth. ‘There’s no use of mincing matters. The truth might as well be plainly told. ‘The whole com- munity is jeopardised ‘The remedy 1s easily apphed. Clean out the tank, investigate the position and condition of the intake, finsh the mains all over town and do whatever else good judgment and experience may suggest. Grand Rapids must have pure water. HIBBING VS. GRAND RAPIDS The Grand Rapids base ball team chas-madea date with Brady’s bril- liant aggregation of ball tossers to play the last game of the season on the home grounds. We refer to Brady of Hibbing. He has the champions of this section of the siate and they have handed it to about everything that entered the diamond with them this season. ‘They are strutting about with a written invitation for somebody to tread on the tails of their official uniforms and the Grand Rapids boys nave accepted the chal- lenge and propose to put up a game that will take sume of the conceit out of the iron boys. In order to pull off this impurtant contest quite a little expense will be incurred, and to raise part of the necessary funds a dance will be given at Village hall next Monday night. Everybody will be given an opportunity to buy a ticket. The boys should receive a liberal -patron- age, A SUCCESSFUL CLOTHING HOUSE The Star Clothing store is one of the business institutions of Grand Rapids that has_ steadily grown since its moaest beginning in 1899. Ben Lieberman located here six years ago in the building which he now occu- pies. then what it is today. From the start, however, he carried a good line of goods and his patrons svon Jearned to believe in his representations. He gave goud values and was ever care- ful to let nothing go out of his store that was not well worth the price. With this solid foundation the busi- ness has steadily grown until his stocks of men’s, youths’ and boys’ clothing, gentlemen’s furnishing goods, buots and shves is second to none carried in this part of the state. About three years ago he took as a business partner his brother Jacob. They found it necessary this summer to add.20 feet to the store building. The addition is built uf solid brick. 'Yhis makes the room 22x60 feet iu size. he tirst floor 1s litterally pack- ed with clothing of all kinds, boots and shoes, furnishings, etc. The sec- ond floor is also occupied ‘by Leiber- man Bros. for the storing of trunks and yalises. Tbe Leiberman Bros. are expanding in their business yen- tures. They are erecting a store at Bovey 24x60 feet which will he occu- pied with ajstock of goods similar to that carried at Grand Rapids. The success of their firm is a fair index of the general prosperity of Grand His stock was by no wmeans- _ IN AGRICULTURE Prof. Thos. Shaw, one of America’s foremost agriculturalists, in speaking of the opportunities offered in north- ern Minnesota says: “Taken in all, noruhern Minnesota offers possibilities in agriculture, live stock raising and dairying possessed by no state in America. The man who contents himself with rented a bare livelihood from year to year, is to some extent throwing his energies |. BUSINESS CHANCES. away. Heis notable to lay by any} surplus and when le reaches old age he is nv better off than’ he was a score or more years ago. A man wko has ordinary health should be able to un- dertake such a proposition without the slightest fear uf failure. In a few years he would have a good: farm and a secured home, which would in- sure hima living for the retaainder of his life.” In regard to live s raising in northern Minnesota Prof. Shaw says: “Live stock will feed Letter in the cold steady winter climate of Minne- sota than in any of the milder and} more changeable to the southward, ‘The steady character of the weather keeps the appetite good. In the warmer latitudes it may rain one day and freeze the next; there may be a week of mild weatper, followed by six or seven days of bitter cold. During the mild period the animals get off their feed and therefore lose time ser- ivusly in fattening before their appe- tite comes back to anywhere near the normal condition. This line of reasoning applies to the feediug of all kinds of live stock but in a lessdegree to dairy cattle and swine.” RULING ON SWAMP LANDS Some enquiry has been received as te the extent of the recent ruling by the general land office as to coutests | on swamp lands, says the Duluth Herald. The genera} land office ruled that iu coatests on swamp lands the settler may have a right to show that the land is not swamp, regard- less of what the field notes show. Therefore, the field notes were ac- cepted as prima facie evidence, and from them there was no appeal; set- tlers could not contest if the notes said land was swamp, for then swamp it was, and would remain. Some people have acquired the idea that contests under this new ruling could be brought on land heretofore surveyed and determined as Swamp. This is not the case. Land that has been disposed of is beyond attack, under this new ruling. It merely meaus that in case a settler files on unsuryeyed Jand, and the survey is afterwards made showing tbat the land in question is swamp, the settler has the right to prove, if he can, that the land is not swamp, thus overturn- ing the evidence of the field notes. Surveying Roads and Towns. Tite International Falls Echo re- cords that “Joe Nolin and P. C. War- ner, of Grand Rapids, were in town on Monday. They area part of County Surveyor Brown’s force and were en- route to the Rat Root country to fin- ish some road work started last spring by Mr. Brown. They bave just finished the work of platting a townsite at Forsyth for Postmaster White, and the Jaying out of eight wiles of road to connect Pelland with the Littlefork road. The gentlemen expect to be busy for several months in this end of the county as they have considerable work to do, a part of which will be the Jaying out of an addition to the towusite of Tanna ford and the mapping out of ten miles of road in the Blackriver country.” Grand Rapids Feap'e.
