Bobsays the crops are maturing nicely and he expects todo well this season. Mrs. McGindly looks worn and worried and explains the r thereof. Like all good wives on the farm she not only does her own house- work but also helps about the garden aud fields. This is not the cause of her decline so much as tHe anxiety that.constauntly besets her lest b will get hold of a shovel or a hoe and start to dig when she is not about to direct his operations, Oue day she sent him outto-dig some notatoes for dinner and ever since she has been suspicious of bis boasted knowledge of the art of farming. 2S0n plants in his search for the tubors be- sup to.

C. McCafthy, A. C. Bos- sard, J. S. Gole and Neil McLaughlin of Grand Rapids attended the meet- ing held in St. Paul last Tuesday of the special commission of engineers appointed to investigate the manage- ment and condition of the Mis sippi dams and reseryoir The mill interests of Minneapolis-and St. Paul were represented at the meeting by attorneys who put up a hard fight for the continuance of the present man- jagement of the dams. Representa- tives from Cuss Lake and Aitkin were also present to ask that the gov- ernment of the United States take | some pity on the poor people who re- side along the upper Mississippi val- ley and desist from drowning out their manufacturing and agricultural interests. Mr. McCarthy presented the arguments in behalf of this secs tion and it is said he was well prepar- ed with facts and figures to show that the people of the upper ¥ sippi have been great sufferers from the | manner in which the dams have been handled in the past. The Herald- Review does not expect to see any benetit realized from the the report that will be submitted by the com- mittee. THAT BOVEY PUBLIC ROAD Tiomas Benton has agreement with Chairman Passard of the board of county commi ners and Auditor Spang whereby he has been released from the carrying out of his contract for the building ef the Grand Rapids-Bovey road from the | southeast corner of the State farm porth to the Prairie river bridge, a distance of about three and one-half miles. Mr, Benton’s bid was 050. After commencing the work he found it impossible to get men and teams iu sutlicient numbers to complete the job in the time stipulated in the contract. The commissioners anc eyerybody el8e in this section are in- terested in the completion of the read before the ground is frozen this fall. he work already done by Mr, Benton will be paid for by the county toan extent sufticient to cover the pay roll of men employed. The commissioners held a meeting on Thursday when the matter was | discussed and it was decided to read- \ ver for bids. nother meeting will be he]d on the n inst., when 16 signed an | tered into aud cowpletion. There is a great deal of dissatisfac— tion expressed by business men of Grand Rapids with the route select- the work pushed to i | : , > fed. They claim that the oid road | passing Ice Jake could have been put Inexcellent shape by the expendi- ture of a much Jess sum of money; the distance would be shorter and the public served much more satis- factorily. There are some very bad pieceson the route selected and un- jess the work is done under the direc- tion of sume man who thoroughly un- de ids his business it will be an- other waste of muvey. Business men of Grand Rapids say they will main- tain the old road even though it is found necessary to do so by private } contributions. VILLAGE WATER NEEDS FILTERING | Supt. A. A. Garris of the electric | light and water plant says the trouble | with the village water can only be fully remedied by the installation of | a filterer. While the waterof Hale Jake is as naturally pure as any in the | i state itis not impervious to the de bris that is washed from the shore*in- to the body of the lake. The heavy | falls of rain and the consequent raise of water makes the supply of foreign matter thus carried into the lake un- ! usually large, The result necessarily is distasteful and renders the water undesirable as a. drink. Mr. Gar- ris says the tank has been cleaned out | and the mains flushed, but this is not sutlicient to purify the water. It must | be filtered. “fhbis would cost consider- able money, but the general opinion | is thata filtering system must be in- stalled before the best results can be attained.

The federal census gave the county 4,573 people. The official count. for 1905 gives it 11,421, an increave of 6,856, or 150 per cent. No other coun- ty in the state has so much as doubl- ed. Beltrami and Clearwater have increased 86 per cent. TRoseau’s of- ficial population is 11,191, an increase of nearly 60 per cent, and Carlton county’s increase is- 52.5 per cent. Kanabec county increased 48 percent, St. Louis 41.7, Aitkin 41.5, Lake coun- ty 34.8 and Red Lake 30.8. howing was no surprise to sus authorities. In acdition to the influx of settlers to farms, the discovery of iron ore in the eastern partoft the county has brought ina great many people, making two en- tire new villages, Nashwauk and Bo- vey. International Falls and other towns on the Rainy river have also | grown very rapidly since the comple- tion of the Canadian orthern. JOHN DOLPH _ PASSES AWAY After suffering for many months and making a heroic battle for life against the inevitable conqueror, John Dolph died at the Rochester hospital on Sunday night last. For many weeks the deceased hovered be- tween life and death, being too weak to venture upon the wearisome trip to Rochester where hé desirea to go tor treatment by the Drs. Mayo. He was suffering from stomach trouble and for some time could only tak nourishment by injection. Ib was finally decided by his wifeand friends to undertake the journey to Roches- ter with the hope that relief might come through an operation by the famous surgeons. He was accome panied by Mrs. Dolph and E. J. Luther, leaving here last Saturday morning. After reach ing the hospit- al life lingered but a few bours. Death came to relieve the sufferer at 12:30 o'clock Sunday night. John Doiph wasa resident of Grand | Rapids about fourteen years. He was a machinist and engineer by trade and for many years was engineer in the Central and High school build- ings. His was ever a happy and genial disposition, endowed by nature with a cordiality that always brought brightness and good cheer with his presence. His passing to the great veyond is mourned by many friends whose deepest sympathy goes out to the grief stricken wife and relatives. The deceased was 62 years of age. He was a Royal Blue Mason and the funeral will probably be conducted under the auspices of that order. At the personal request of Mr. Dolph the remains were taken to Detroit, Mich., for interment in the family cemetery. NEW FIND AT NASHWAUK The Mesaba Ore reports an import- ant discovery of ore at the LaRue mine, Nashwank. ‘The, property is-a member of the Sellwood string and a small body of cre was aetermined several years ago, but it is under- stood that the new find underlies the taconite, and that the new body is much larger than that first opened. MeArtbur Bros., engaged in stripping «the Hawkins mine, an International Harvester Works property near the La Rue, haye been awarded a con- tract for stripping the overburden from the latter, and will commence the work at once. ARE NEEDED While it may not be necessary to resort to the use of a heavy winter overcoat for some time, yet it is wise to make timely provision against possibilities in this climate of uncer- tainties. That now is the proper time to place an order with August Johnson, the up-to-date merchant tailor, for an overcoat, should be ap- parent to every gentleman who is wise to his own comfort and personal appearance. Johnson certain has some of the finest fabrics ever exhiv- ited. He isin the lead with the very latest that fashion prescribes both as to pattern and make. The busy sea- son is not yet quite on and every or- der given at this time will receive the best attention possible. Just drop into Mr. Johnson’s place of busi- ness on. Kindred avenue and look at A RAID ON THE BLIND SWINE Mr. Spear has another spasm of vir- tue and asa result some more blind piggers are holding forth at the coun- ty bastile under charge of Sheriff Hoolihan. Of course Mr. Spear’s spasm was not of the fatal kind—it was only partial. There are several eyeless swine in this county who are not in jail ana are not likely to be. They are reputed to be possessed of political “influence and should Mr. Spear cause their pros ion it might be to his own polit detri- ment. Mr. Spear isa wise guy. He knows where all the pigs hibernate. He is said to be in close touch with them. He makes a study of their political influence and when there is any advantage to be gained by mak- ing a “pull” the pull is made. He ex- perienees no difficulty in securing a coufederate and the work is found to be comparatively easy. When *he finds it politically protitable to be blind, blind he is. In the past few da. Spear bas experienced a par- tial eclipse and James Cooper was discovered at Oxide lake illegally en- gaged in the liquor traffic; Arthur Green was found in the s.me predica- ment at What is Known as the Great Northern camps about three miles this side of Snow Ball; G. HL. Prrem- mer of Nashwauk and Charley Ollilia are implicated with Green; Charley Vodene ef Snow Ballis also under the ban for similar operations at Ball Club; J. Rofidal, postmaster and store keeper at Stonér, a way station on the International railroad about fuirteen miles north of Northome, is also in charge of the sheriff ou a charge of violation of the liquor laws. Complaints against all of the fore- going were sworn to by the same man—one R. H. Martin. — It is evi- dent that Spear and Martin are oper- ating in harmony. The pigs near Nashwauk were objectionable to the saloon men of the iron town and the } vigorous protests to the county attor- ney indicated to him that tne Nash- wauk influence in politics would be much greater than-that of the few who were doing business on the blind. All of those mentioned are in jail ex- cept Pfremmer and Ollilia, who gave bonds for their appearance. Court will convene in spec term next, Monday when the cases will be dis- posed of. BALL PLAYERS NOT SATISFIED Tt is evident that the Grand Rap- ids ball tossers are not satisfied with the treatment accorded them at Clo= quet. “One who knows” sends the following to the Herald»Review and requests its publication; ‘‘ The Mag- net of this week prints an account of the ball game between Grand Rapids and Cloquet last Sunday and says that our boys lost two games. Now, asa matter of fact, the boys lost the first and only game played by some highway robbery on the part of the Cloquet umpire. The score should have been 1to0 in favor of Grand Rapids but for some clever work on the part of the umpire and score keeper the Grand Rapids boss came away wilh nothing but a load of hen fruit. The socalled second game was nothing buta farce in order to hold the crowd until the Cloquet crowd could get around with the bat and collect euough to settle the expense of the visiting team. In this game everybody took a hand at pitching ex« cept Vic. Romans, and he was on the hill sleeping, or he would have taken his turn. Stafford held Cloquet safe at all stages of the first game, which was as good a game as Cloqnet even saw on the home grounds. Sheay, an Indian, did the serving for the Clox quet team.” Death of Jolin Gendron. Jolin Cendrov died at his home ?n the east end of town last Sunday af- ternvon at 4 o’clock, after suffering from paralysis of the throat for more thana year. He had been very low for some time and death was not un- expected. He was 54 years of age and had been a resident of Grand Rapids about fifteen years. His wife died six weeks ago lust Wednesday. The death of father and mother leaves three orphan boys, Walter, aged 21; Percy, aged 15, and Earl. 13. Funers al services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Hawn-of the M. E. chureh last Tuesday morning at 10 o’clock. In- termenut was made in Itasca ceme- tery. The two younger boys will go ta’ Rattle Creek and Aldon, Mich., where they will be given homes with relatives. Walter will return to his former position as cook on one of the lake boats’ between | Duluth and Cleveland. The sons request the Herald-Res view to express their sincere thanks to the many friends who gave their the stock of overcoatings he is dis-} kindly aid during the illness ang play ing. | oO medl med eed n e )) e eeee obsequies of their parents. a RARE SRP RETAINS IE SES OM LISTE EE Demarco io Sc PRR SPN LIGETI CITIES AEA
