—E Grand’ Rovies PBeratde'fRevtew Published Every Saturday. By E. C. KILEY. (WO DOLLARS A YEAR IN ADVANCE “entered in the Postoffice at Grand Rapid Minnesota, as Second-Class Matter, ‘THe Brookston Herald is the latest applicant for exchange courtesies with the Herald-Review. It is a bright, clean-appearing publication. Rowe McCamus is the editor. IN summarizing the doings of so- ciety during the holidays the Magnet made it read like ‘There goes Julius coming back again,” while its asso- ciation of ‘elements’ leads to an incongruous condition that iS any- thing but harmonions. Bro. Cross should make greater use of the little period or add foot notes to his disser- tations on society affairs. a eles NewspaPErs of any importance are resting easy as far as the anti-pass agitation is concerned. They would lose nothing by having their trans- actions with the railroads put ona strictly cash basis. The railroads are not in the habit of giving some- thing away for nothing. When they issue passes to Jegislators they ex- pect considerate treatment at state capitals when any laws affecting their interests are being considered. When they give passes to newspapers they expect space advertising, announce- ments of time tables and excursions, “readers” and other publicity having a tangible cash value. The one thing is illegitimate, the ether legitimate. The smaller country papers would doubtless be adversely affected by a serere anti-pass ruling by the rail- roads, but those firmly estab- lished in good fields and accustomed to pay their way. Papers of this class would lose nothing.—Marquette Mining Journal. ———_-+e+—___ MURRY AND HIS MUD THE Rivei paper relieves itself of an unusual overflow of sew- age in its Jast issue, and all because the county commissioners failed to hear the editor's cackle at the Janu- ary meeting when the county print- ing was being considered and placed Of course the board did not consider any proposi- tion from the Deer Riyer pé use that sheet has never been regarded as of legal standing. It was,not until quite recently that the village council would recognize the rag as a fit medium in which to relating to the municipality, and year after year the Herald-Review was regularly desig- nated as the official paper of the vil- lage of Deer River. It wil be time enough for Taylor to kick when he has a newspaper that is worthy of Since the Deer River village council has consented to the publication of proceedings, ete., in ‘Tayior’s alleged paper the poor fellow actually thinks that he has a legal right to “but-in’? and compete with legitimate newspapers. The audacity and brazen dishonesty of the fellow is the most surprising, however. He tried in every way possible to frame up a ‘‘combine,” as he termed it, waereby he would get some of the county printing at the maximum rate allowed by law, but failing in this he simply put ina bid so that he would be in a position to apply his usual blackmailing tactics. The idea that newspapers, which give away thou- sands of dollars’ worth of space free of charge every year to their respec- tive communities, should do public work at half price, is on a par with the idea of a man becoming a candi- date for office on a platform declaring that he would perform the duties of the office at half price. He would be turned down by the votes of the peo- ple. That’s what happened to Murry. —_.+——_ THE STEENERSON BILL. The federal drainage plan proposed by Congressman Steeverson in a bill introduced in congress puts a slightly better face upon the federal drainage igea than it bas yet had, and proves that the Herald has been correct in its attitude toward the federal drain- age lobby cooked up by the president and secretary of the Minnesota Drain- age league. They proposed an impossible plan! ‘ not Deer for the eusuing year. coming r, bec: publish matters consideration. which Pronovost drew a revolver on and upon their own authority raised money to send themselves to Wash: ington to work for it. The Herald has expressed a belief all along that no lobby was necessary, and that the Minnesota delegation, having agreed to do its best, could be depended upon to work effectively without. the assistance of a lobby. ‘This has been shown hy the fact that « member of the delegation has produced what may be a practical plan, ‘I'he Bernard and Hays plan was to have the government take money out of the funds belonging to the Indians to drain swamp lands in the Indian reservations, these funds to be reim- bursed by the sale of the reclaimed lands when. the reservations are thrown open. ‘The troubie with this plan is that when the reservations are opened the swamp lands would go to the state under the swamp land grant act, so there would be no sale and no reimbursement. The Steenerson plan is to have the money received from the sale of pub- lic lands in Minnesota set apart asa federal drainage fund, just as the re- ceipts from land sales in arid or semi- | arid states are set aside for irrigation. It sounds like a fair proposition, and possibly the Minnesota delegation will be able to make congress see it that way. The trouble with the federal draiu- age plan appears to be, howeyer, that it has caused the president and secre- tary of the drainage league to prac- tically throw aside all considerativa of state drainage of state lands, which is really ‘the only. vitally im- portant issue. ‘The state gets all swamp lands on -an agreement toe drain tbem, and it is going to be hard work to yet congress to see that it should draia them before turning them over to the state. The Jands affected by the Steenerson bill will all gu to the state when they are opened to settlement, under the swamp land grant, which provides that all lands shown to be swamp in the field notes of the original survey shall belong to the state. i In the meantime, there is a great need of a campaign of education in Minnesota for state drainage of state lands, in order that public opinion may force Lhe next legislature to act, and this, the most valuable service the league could perform, is being neglected by ofticers.—Duluth Herald. TO ADVANCE IMMIGRATION Today an important meeting is be- ing held in Grand Rapids under the auspices of C. H. Warner, state immi- gration agent, and Hon. A. L. Cole, representative in the state legis- | lature from this district, and author I of the new land law. ‘The purpose of the meeting is for the discussion of ways and: means for the advertising of the big public land sale to take> place next April. The state immi- gration ageut will co-operate with the people in making widely known the opportunities offered in this county for the settler. If the people of the county will take advantage of the chance thus offered much good can be accomplished. | Lt iste thesad- vantage of every property: owner, eyery business man in whatever line, every manufacturer and every farmer of the county, to bring avout the set- Uement snd improvement of our vast and valuable vacant lands, It is to be hoped that the meeting wlll be well attended today and that | the work will not end with the first gathering and a preliminary tatk. | Every man must do bis share in mak- ing known the opportunities that are here to be had for less money than they will ever again be offered. ROAD DISPUTE - CAUSES TROUBLE Last week the Herald-Review made Mention of trouble over a road in 57-27, the Deer lake district, between J. H. Johnson and one of his neigh- bors. The trouble grew, and now the matter will be brought into the courts for adjustment, both crimin-. ally and civily, -It appears that last Tuesday afternoon while Charles Johuson and his cousin, Clare Mower. were hauling cedar poles over the disputed road they were met by Levi Pronovost and Joseph Jam, who-were running asprinkler. ‘Che latter dis- puted the right-of-way with the for- | mer and an altercation followed in its Johnson and Johnson retaliated with an .ax, striking his antagonist on the ney Spear was notified and sent word to have the beligerents brought to Grand Rapids, summarily taking the matter out of the hands of the Deer iver justice. Warrants have also been issued for the arrest of Johnson. Spear had been consulted by both parties as to their respective rights, and according to the stories now told they were both advised by him that they were correct in their respective contentions. This is probably a repe- tition of the Trout Lake township embroglio in which Spear advised citizens of that township that they could violate an order of the district court, in which action they would be protected by him as county attorney. MISS LITTLE MAR- RIED IN CHINA Miss Mabel J. Little, who was a popular teacher in the Grand Rapids public schools for three terms, leay- ing here in 1902, was married on Sun- day, November 5, at Honkow, China, to Mr. Walter Crawford, who was a graduate of Hamline vniversity,and | who is principal of a boys’ school at Chung King, China. The wedding announcements have been received by Grand Rapids friends. Following are excerpts from a letter written by Mrs. Crawford tua friend in Kasson, Minnesota, and published in the Dodge County Republican: “We were married: at Honkow, China, in Mrs. Frost’s. beautiful home. “The guests were the American Consul Martin and his daughter, Rev. Ridgely and wife, and the girls in our party (who go beyond Chung King), Misses Collier, Wittle, Wells and Hitchcock. Mrs. Ridgely played the wedding march and ,we went in preceded by the Episcopal rector, Mr. Ridgely, and were married and then immediately went out to the wed- ding dinner, which was served at 8 p.m. The dinner was Mr. and Mrs. Frost’s present to us, and she gave me a silver card case for a souvenir, and she sent a piece of the wedding cake and is sending all of our announcements for us. Her hus- band is a lawyer here, “Miss Collier, Walter and I came up here to Ichang, and the girls fol- lowed later. It takes lots of work and ume to get suitable houseboats, and that is what we have been doing since. UT might add that it takesa heap. of money. .Perk you think we have too many s nts, but the cook’s wages are 4,000 cash per month (which means $2) and the table boy 3,000 cash ($1.50).”” ‘ Death of Mrs. C, E. Leeman. Word comes of the death of Mrs. C. E. Leeman at,Cass Lake on Tues- day of this week. _Mrs. Leeman was one of the earliest settlers at Laprai- rie, where she resided with her fam- ily for many years before she moved to Cass Lake. Mr, Leeman, husband of the deceased, was at one time county commissioner for Itasca county. At the present time he is marshal of the viJluge of Cass Lake. Tbe many friends of the family who knew them while residents -here will be deeply grieved to hear of Mrs. Lee- man’s passing away. The following is a news report taken frum the Du- Juth Herald: This community was greatly shocked Tuesday of this week by the aunouncement that Mrs. C. E. Lee- man, wife of Charles Leeman, died at St. Michael’s hospital after a three days’ illness with pneumonia. But few peeple knew that Mrs. Leeman had been ill. Mrs. Leeman was a member of the local lodges of Re- bekahs and Royal Neighbors, and was well kndwo in Grand Rapids, Be- midji and other towns in the north half of the state, and many members of the local societies and friends from outside puivts were in attendance at the funeral. Mr. Leeman is well known in all of the towns in this vicinity and has received many tele- grams of condolence. Mrs. Leeman leaves, besides her husband, three children, two daughters and one son, the youngest of whom is 10 years old, A daughter was killed by lightning in Cass Lake three years ago and is buried in the cemetery here, where the remains of Mrs, Leeman were also interred. House Warming at Remer. The people of the new communities are not shut out from the pleasures that make life well worth the whilg Only a short time ago up at what is now known as Remer there were not enough settlers to justify the main-; tainance of a public school by the Cass county authorities, But it is different today. A public school is pow fully establishsd with a good at- tendance. The soc] conditions are; keeping apace in a becomidtg manner with the rapidly increasing popu- lation. As an example of how pbumerous are inhabitants thereaway we are told that there were foriy- seven persons present at a genuine old-fashioned house warming at the home of J. W. and B. B. McGraw on January 1. The party enjoyed them- selves until the break of day on the morning of the 2nd. Al] participants were unanimous in declaring that it was the most successful social event that bas yet taken place in that whole township.
