, Grand Rapids Herald-Review. SUPPLEMENT. Vol. XIII.—No. 13. Local Mention Mr. and Mrs. O. L. Mather con- template moving to Duluth to reside. Mr. Mather’s business requires much of his time in Duluth and vicinity, hence the change. They will be missed by many Grand Rapids friends. If you happen to notice anything in the Independent this week of unusual merit, 1t will be the product of our old friend, C. C. Kelly, who is acting as editor man in the absence of the regu- lar literary performer, who 1s in Northome. Antone Metzger and family of Su- perior were here over Sunday on a visit to relatives. Mr. Metzger did not have long to stay but he had sufficient time to make a trip to Balsam lake, where he hooked onto about sixty choice black bass. The private car of W. A. McGona- gle, vice president of the Mesaba road was side-tracked in the yard here a couple of days this week. Some New York parties representing the United States Steel company were using It. ‘They visited Bovey. The supper and_ entertainment given by the Rebekahs in Odd Fel- low’s hall last Tuesday evening was liberally patronized, and deservedly so.

He Sun- dayed in the mining town and took in the races, which he says was de- cidedly interesting. Hibbing has some fast horses and some of the travelers from outside are in the 2:07 class. Deputy U. S. Marshal George J. Mallory of West Duluth stopped off at Grand Rapids Tuesday. In reply to an inquiry as to the nature of his bus- iness here he refused to explain. As he returned on the afternoon train it is probable that he did no damage. Next Wednesday evening, beginning at 6 0’clock, at Miller’s ice cream par- lors, the ladies of the Catholic church will serve roast pork with dressing, mashed potatoes, baked beans, cab- bage salad, beet pickles, sliced toma- toes, bread, butter. tea and coffee, all for 25 cents. If you want to hear a story of aroad that 1s bad, ask Leroy Wheaton about the Prairie river mud holes and bould- ers. It’s interesting, even exciting, and if that highway were worse than itis Mr. Wheaten would not _ hesitate to say so, He will tell the truth and tell it with invective. J W Tuft did not undertake to make himself web-footed for the purpose of getting through the swamps, as re- ported by Fred McVicar and John Brown. It was an accident in his woodshed—an zx fell on his foot strik- ing the small toe, and that’s the rea- son he 1s limping about. F. Zadofsky of Cedar Rapids, Ia, was here the first of the week repre- senting a number of farmers who con- template the purchase of lands in this vicinity. Mr. Zadofsky looked over Grand Rapids, Itasca Ccunty, Minn., Saturday, Sept. 23, 1905. Two Dollars a Year.

Andrew Walker, pastor of the Presbyterian church, has tendered his resignation to the trustees to take ef- fect as soon as his place can be filled. The resignation was handed in some time ago, but it appears that no action has yet been taken by the local church authorities and Mr. Walker may find it necessary to remain here indefinitely. Itasca county had an exhibit at the State Fair that attracted a great deal of attention from visitors and consid- erable comment from the press. The committee who had charge of the ex- Iubit will receive as a reward for their efforts the satisfaction of knowing that It was appreciated at the fair, even if not by the home critics. —Border bud- get.

He found everything in excellent condition, as usual. It was Mr. Noile’s intention to pay his respects to the Hill City office, but while crossing on Capt Mahon’s craft at Black’s Arm, the engine got tired and the ferry stood still for a time.

Messrs. Graffam and Dickinson have taken hold of the matter of a winter lecture cours? and haye contracted with the Columbian Lyceum Bureau for five attractions. Messrs. Freeman and Rueswig have given up their idea of a Hige School course and will put on only one or two attractions at the High School, the same as Jast winter. This leaves the field open to the regu- lar course and has enabled Graffam and Dickinson to offer much better attractions than they would have been able to if two courses been at- tempted. Our citizens will be offered a chance to procure season tickets during the coming week.

Schmidt, the paint man, is getting a |reputation as the most aesthetically inclined old gentleman between Grand Rapids and Crookston, according to Cal Gilman. Cal says that Schmidt employs the services of a barber twice daily.

While partridge shooting will not be the best this season owing to the heavy rains that drowned out the young broods and spoiled the eggs, there are some to be found, as can be testified to by Miss Ruth Beckfelt. One lonely little partridge flew onto the lawn of the Beckfelt home tie other day, and Miss Ruth captured it without the aid of gun or other weapon. She just simply picked it up. About that time her father hap- pened along and it was decided to tie a ribbon to the bird’s leg on which was printed the words: “This part- ridge belongs to Ruth Beckfelt.” Just as the ribbon was being tied the partridge made a successful effort to escape. If any hunter should hap- pen to find a bird that is easily caught the course will be the best one ever/that bird belongs to Ruth Beckfelt. given here. She caught it first.
