McGuire of the Experiment Farm Makes a Short Talk to Far- mers and Citizens Generally On the Benefits te Be Derived. , Plans are now being made to hold a series of farmers’ institute meetings in Northeastern Minnesota. The in- stitute will be held in Grand Rapids on November 25. The farmers’ insti- tute might be said to be a traveling school for farmers. It is supported by the state and managed by one of the most able agricultural educators in the state, Supt. O. C. Gregg, of Lynd, Minn. Mrr Gregg is a farmer himself, and employs only men for the institrte work who have made a success of some particular branch of tepming. ‘The institute meetings consist of a forenoon and afternoon session, and -| in some places of an evening “session ere there is assurance of a good at- tendance. There will be four speak- ers. Just what special subjects will be discussed we are not yet informed, bunt aside from general farming they will probably be dairying, the grow- ing of vegetables and small fruits, and poultry raising, as these are the lines of farming to which Northeast- ern Minnesota is best adapted, A book. ‘Lhe Farmers’ Institute Annual,” consisting of 380 pages of the must up-to-date agricultural iu- formation, is given to each person at- tending the meeting, The meetings ure free to everyone. There are no- charges or collections. Nothing to sell and nothing to advertise. The institute is run wholly ia the inter- ests of the farmers of the state, and every farmer liying within twenty miles of Grand Rapids should attend this tirst institute meeting. The day of logging and cordwood will soon be a thing of the past anda living must come from some other source. Northeastern Minnesota has as great possibilities in agriculture as any other section of the state. It will require careful and intelligent farming, and the man who will not seek information in his work and im- prove his methods will find that farm- ing, like war, is little better than hell. But when a farmer has a system to his work, and a knowledge of agri- culture, he may gain from the soil every comfort for himseif and his family that can be won in any other employment. Attend the farmers’ institute. It has been the means of helping many a farmer to a better understanding of his work. A. J. McGuire. WILL APPEAL TO HIGHEST COURT Manager A. C. Bossard, of the Itasca Paper company, wus again in St. Paul on a summons from the United States. District court this week. The case now pending against the General Paper company, insti- tuted by the government, will be ap- pealed to the highest court tribunal of the country and will be heard by the United States Supreme court at Washington. The action is one brought on the allegation that the General Paper Company is an organ- ization for the purpose of controling the price of nearly all the paper manufactured in this country, and js operated contrary to law. In order to take the appeal three witnesses were fined $50 each for refusing to answer certain questions put to them by attorneys for the government, of which Mr. Bossard was one. SAD DEATH OF F. 0. MUNSON ‘The sad news was wired to friends in Grand Rapids last Saturday an- nouncing the death of Fred. O, Mun- son near Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, where he was associated in the lumber busi- ness with his brother, P. B. Munsun. ‘No account of the particulars could be learned here until Wednesday, when the funeral was held in Minne- apolis. It appears that the deceased went out to the logging operations of the company where logs were being put intoa lake. In the unloading of a car of logs one of the chains became fastened in some way and Mr, Mun- Two DoLuars a YEAR. son undertook to loosen it. As he| NECESSITY OF approached the load the chain re- leased itself aad a falling log struck him with such force in the breast as to knock ‘him into the lake. He was helped to shore and later was taken with internal pains which grew so severe that he at once left for Seattle on an‘ interurban street car, a dis- tance of thirty miles. After arriving at a hospital in that city he lived -only about.two hours. The remains were taken to Minneapolis, his for- mer home, for intermeat. Fred O. Munson was about forty years of age. He and his family lived in Grand Rapids for about three years prior to moving west last June. He was associated with his brother Bert in the logging business in thiscounty, where he was well known. He en- joyed the respecr and confidence of both business and social associates, Pand all who knew him and his family, consisting of wife and two daughters, feel the loss through his untimely death as’ that of a personal friend. He was a member of Itasca lodge No. 208,°A. F.& A.M. D. M. Gunn and A. A. Kremer, of the lucal lodge, attended the funeral in Minneapolis last Wednesday. FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF BOVEY Cashier L. M. Bolter of the First State bank of Grand Rapids, received official authorization this week for the establishment of the First Na- tional Bank of Bovey. ‘This new financial institution will start with a paid-up capital of $25,000, and the fol- lowing incorporators: A. C, Bossard, L. M. Bolter, D. M. Vermilyea, O. L. Mather and H. G. Becker. These gentlemen are all well known as being among the most substantial finan- cially in Itasca county, and their re- liability is a guarantee that the. new bank will be conducted along safe and prosperous lines. It will be the successor of the present. Bank of Bovey, which is financed by the gen- tlemen named above and of which Mr, Vermilyea has been the cashier since its establishmentseveral months agu. LOCAL SPORTS © FIND SOME GAME L. R. Root, Billy Dibbert, Will Nisbett, Marshal Harry and Village Recorder McAllister went west to the vicinity of Crookston last Saturday night in search of untamed ducks and geese. They arrived home Wednes- day morning and were able to report only moderate good luck. The birds are flying cluse to the zenith and do not appear inclined to fraternize with the modern sport. About forty ducks and three geese were bagged. A. C. Schmidt joined the party at Crooks- ton, and es an expert guide and sportsman .he recommends the boys as being eligible to membership in any aggregation of spcrts that has ever been framed up. Of Len Rovt he speaks in the highest terms as a thoroughbred of the first order and one who can find genuine comfort and sweet repose in a prairie swamp knee deep. Farewell Dinner Party. Mr, and Mrs. O. L. Mather were the guests of honor at a dinner party given at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Graffam last Tuesday evening by the Ladies’ Whist club. Mr. and Mrs. Mather left Thursday for Duluth where they will make their future home, and the dinner was given by the club, of which Mrs. Mather was a member, as a token of the esteem in which this worthy cou- ple is held, The husbands of the club members were the invited guests. Twenty-four covers were laid. The tables were beautifully decorated with white asters and Scotland daisies, the places being marked with whist cards. The ladies had pre- pared quite an elaborate menu which was served in five courses, after which progressive whist was enjoyed. Those present were: Messrs. and Mesdames Mather, Will Becker, John Whipple, Fred King, Frye, H. I). Powers, A. A. Kremer, Sheldon, McCarthy, Graffam, Kiley and Bolter. For Savings Depositors. For the accommodation of those who desire to take advantage of using the savings departwent of the First State bank, Cashier Bolter will keep the bank opeti to receive deposits on Saturday evenings between the hours of Tand 8 o’clock. “He says the sav- ings department is being patronized to a much larger extent in Grand Rapids than was anticipated by the. bank officials when the plan was adopted, ROAD TO BOVEY The committee appointed last week by the Grand Rapids Commercial club to solicit funds with which to im- prove the public ruad to Bovey is not meeting with the success that the undertaking deserves. It was con- sidered that six or eight hundred dollars could be easily raised amoag the ‘business men of this village, but so far only about one-half that suin has been subscribed. The subject had veen quite generally discussed before the Commercial club took action, and sit appeared that little effort would be necessary to raise a fund of eight hundred or a thousand dollars in co- operation with the town board of Grand Rapids. The committee does not find it so easy a task as was at first anticipated. A great many men feel, and justly so, that this road should be built and maintained at public expense. It is true that there is more traffic over the Bovey-Grand Rapids road than over any other high- way in the county, and it sheuld have been put in good shape last year. But in as muchas this has not been done by the board of county commissioners the business men of this community should realize that business eom- Munication between the two towns cannot be stopped when it is possible to continue it. No one will dispute the fact that this road 1s entitled to such official recognition as will keep it reasonably passable at all times. Today it is unsafe to drive over with an empty lumber wagon, and it is about all a man can do to walk oyer it. There are still many hundreds of loads of freight to be taken to Bovey from Grand Rapids, but it is 1mpos- sible to hire men and teams to do the work. This means much to the busi- ness interedts of Grand Rapids and it appears that the only way a road can be secured will be through private subscriptions. The town board has appropriated $200 and two or three business men have subscribed $100 each, EXPERIENCE WITH A CANOE It’s a heart-rending story, that-told of the experience of Henry Schultz, presiding elder of the dry goods de- partment in. Henry Hughes & Co.’s store, and Walter Spires, the popu- lar and efficient young man who serves the public at Finnegan’s mar- ket, They went down to Rice lake, near Blackberry, in search of ducks the first day of the week and they got ducked properly from a canoe. Schultz struck terra firma first, but it looked for a time as though Spires was in for fair. He can’t swim a stroke, and after floundering about in, the damp, co!d wet unti] he. was, about exhausted he managed to reach, a pule extended to him by Schultz, and was pulled ashore more dead, than alive. Luckily the young voy- agers have not suffered any serious. results from their perilous experi- ence, but hereafter they probably. will not venture out in a canoe with- out someone who understands the science of paddling the craft. Since typing the foregoing it trans- pires that there were three in the party. Herman Bierdsdorff, of the Northern Cafe, constituted one-third of the bunch and his presence came in very handy. Twoguns went to the bottom and sank deep in the mire at tae bottom of the ake when the boat capsized. After the rescue of Spiers, who made haste to a nearby cabin to wring himself out, Schultz took Bierdsdgrff into his confidence and with eloquent persuasion deliberately and with consummate gall convinced him that it was his duty to dive for the guos. Herman hesitated and pro- tested, but the persuasiveness of Henry Hughes’ representative finally prevailed, and after repeated efforts the gunge were rescued. When the last gun was brought to land the Northern cafe man was a sad looking sight and his two companions debated between themselves as to whether or no he was worth bringing home. “One would think the ingenuity and resourcefulness of designers and manu- facturers would have been exhausted before now, but the lovely creations. in the new fall goods here are proof that such 1s not the case,” said Mr. C. H. Marr to a Herald-Review man the other day. One would be lead to quite agree with him after taking a look at the fresh and beautiful stock he 1s displaying. ~ Miller’s confectionery store is be- coming a pupular place for serving light lunches for evening parties. The place is convenient to Village hall. Dancing and other parties fiad it very pleasant and inviting at the close of entertainment.
