John Beckfelt, H D Powers and E A Kremer were west bound passen- gers Thursday noon, They were equipped with shot. gnns, hunting suits and hunting dogs and their des- tination was McIntosh, where they expect to kill prairie chickens. Messrs Beckfelt and Powers hunted in that vicinity a year ago and did not return with any more birds than the law allows by several dozen. Kremer joined them this year under protest. Joe Crothers of Dallas, Oregon, the pioneer merchant of Cohasset, was an arrival {n town last Sunday. Mr, Crothers is here to settle up some business affairs and to dispose ot some village property which he owns here and at Cohasset. He likes the clim- ate of Oregon and says that in a very few years the holder of pine timber will realize handsomely on his hold- ings, Mr. Crowthers has acquired title to about fifty million feet of tim- ber in the vicimty of Dallas. Leonard, the young son of Wm. Perrington, 1s quite recovered from the effects of a kick over the eye, re- ceivred from T H McHugh’s delivery horse, about three weeks ago. The little fellow was amusing himself in Mr. McHugh’s barn by throwing sticks at the animal when the horse landed with considerable force. ‘The cut over the eye had a dangerous ap- pearance at first but luckily the sight was not injured. ‘That boy will prob- ably decline to “play horse” hereafter. J W Snyder was an arrival at Grand Rapids Wednesday, He 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 toinduce 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. f When the work in progress is finish- ed WC Gilbert and A A Kremer will have two of the handsomest residences and surroundings 1n 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. These improvements are being made at a cost of over one thousand dollars to each of the owners. James Harrington, a pressman on the Chicago American, was an arrival in this metropolis Monday last, and will spend about three weeks with his brother Frank, who 1s a farmer on Willow river near Hill City. Mr. Harrington spent his vacation in_ this vicinity a year ugo and was so highly pleased with the climate, the fine fishing and hunting that he found and the hospitality of his brother and everybody else whom he met that he thinks there is no place like northern Minnesota, and especially Itasca county. 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. At mine o’clock Monday morning the members and their tamulies will as- semble at Odd Fellows hall and from there will be driven by teams to Co- hasset where a big barge will be ia readiness to take the party through the thoroughfare tothe lake proper. Two or three launches will furnish the motor power. Some of the excursionists will provide themselves ith basket lunches and others will take dinner at Hotel Ogemah. 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 curiosity was soon sat isfied. ‘The powder exploded in his face. At first it was feared that his eyes might have been injured, but in a day or two he was as lively and clear sighted as ever. There stll 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 inthe inauguration of cement walks in the business district of the village. : A. B. Clair and wife are in St, Paul. the shoot held last Thursday. The I. D. POWERS WINS THE CUP The weekly saoots of the Itasca Gun club are a thing of the past for the season of 1905, being wound up by season as a whole has been successful andthe 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 uf 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 at 75, broke.. Beekfelt, shot at ‘75, broke. Booth, shot at 15, broke... Kremer A. A.. shot at 15, broke....5 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 1s a sure disease distributor; 1t 1s dangerous to the pub- hc health. Try it by keeping a pail full of the stuft over night and in the 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 shas 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 important 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 sture is one of the business institutions of Grand Rapids that has steadily grown since its mooest beginning in 1899. Ben Lieberman located here six years ago in the building which he now occu- pies. His stock was by no means 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 good 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, boots and shoes 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. 'Yuis makes the room 22x60 feet in size. Lhe first floor 1s litterally pack— ed with clothing of all kinds, boots and shoes, furnishings, etc. The sec- ond floor is also occupied Ly Leiber- man Bros. for the storing of trunks and valises. The Leiberman Bros. are expanding in their business yeus ; 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 Rapids, | horthern Minuesot POSSIBILITIES | 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 iu agriculture, live stock raising and dairying possessed by no state in America. The man who contents himself with rented jands in the older states, thus making a bare livelihood from year to year, is to some extent throwing his energies away. He is notable to lay by any surplus and when he reaches old age he is no better off than he was a score or more years ago. A man who has ordinary health should be able to un- dertake such a proposition without the slightest fear of 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 stock Prof. aW says: “Live stoek 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 los¢ eser- ivusly in fattening before their appe- tile comes back to anywhere near the normal condition. This line of reasoning applies to the feediug of all kinds of live stock butin a lessdegree to dairy cattle and swine.” RULING ON SWAMP LANDS raising in Some enquiry has been received as te the extent of the recent ruling by the genera] land office as to contests on swamp lands, the Duluth Herald. The general land office ruled that iv coates wamp lands the settler may have a right to show says that the land is not swamp, regard-| lessof 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 uvder 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 means 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. Tue 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 have just finished the work of platting a townsite at Forsyth for Postmaster White, and the Jaying out of eight miles 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 tbe Jaying out of an addition to the townsite of Hanna: | ford and the mapping oub of ten mi of road in the Blackriver country.’ Grand Kapids Feap e.
