Acbie McDougal in charge of a crew of men has been engaged in driving piles, constructing a new sort- ing gap and otherwise overhauling the Itasca Paper company’s booms above the mill. Mr. and Mrs. George Vipond were surprised by the descent upon their home of a party of frends Thursday evening of last week. Cards were played, refreshments served and a splendid tme enjoyed by all.

Wilder, who has for a long time conducted the Gladstone liotel, reured from the hotel business Apmil 1. He is succeeded by the Doran brothers, James D. and Charles. The llater gentlemen are thoroughly fa- milar with the hotel business and will no doubt keep the reputation of the Gladstone up to the enviable standard it has attained 1m the past. Data prepared by the weather bu-! reau in regard to the kind of weather during the month of Api for the | past thirty-five years is rather encour- aging, even though the forecaster ;claims that it must not be taken as a prognostication of the condition for the present month of this year. The month seems to improve each year, especially in regard to warmth. ‘The coldest month was in 1874, with an average temperature of 33 degrees, and the warmest was in 1900, with an The mean temperature tur the month is 38 de- grees. April is known as the month of showers and shows a good deai of precipitation, the average bemg about 2.12 inches. ‘The record for precipi- tation is held by the year 1894, when 5.85 inches of rain or melted snow fell. ‘The least was in 1873, when only .30 of an inch fell. ‘The prevail- ing winds during the month in past years have been trom the northeast. g We want to spect the hghting plant.

At the annual meeting of the fire department the foliowing officers for the ensuing year were chosen: Chief engineer, George Riddell; first assist- ant engineer, Arthur Seamans; second assistant engineer, James Doran; fire warden, Miller Williams; secretary, R, W. Heideman; treasurer, E. -A. Kremer. The department also de- cided to pick and train a team to com- pete at the firemen’s tournament to be held at Cass Lake in June. Mr. Ben Johnson was down from Bowstring on business this week. He says that the story which appeared in the papers to the effect that his little daughter lay in a trance for several days and was pronounced dead 1s not true, The facts in the matter are that the child was not feeling well one evening and was taken with a fainting spell. Restorative measures were at once adopted by the parents and in a short time she was as well as ever. A fair-sized audience attended the Wickersham lecture at Village hall Monday evening. ‘The subject was “Day Dreams.” and was handled in a pleasing manner by the noted lecturer. This was the last number on the course given by the local lyceum bureau for this season. The manage- ment is to be congratulated upon the excellence of the entertainment fur- nished the people during the past sea-- son, and the hope is universally ex- ‘pressed that we may be as weil favored next winter. A large number of the congrega- tion and other friends were in attend- ance at the Presbyterian church last Sunday evening to hear the farewell sermon preached by Rev. Andrew Walker. The s.rmon was a beautiful effort and filled his auditors with a sense of the loss which would b theirs by reason of his departure. Monday evening a-reception was ten- j dered the reverend gentleman at Odd Fellows hall and was attended by the church people and friends generally. Mr. Walker goes from here to Winni- peg. ‘The Herald-Review bids him adieu with many regrets, but wishes him an unbounded measure of suc- cess in the field which he has chosen for his future labors. The reclamation of garbage, or food waste, in large cities 1s peculiarly a modern industry and brings remune— rative profits to those engaged therein. Instead of being thrown away, as for- merly, this food waste is collected in immense steel digesters, or tanks, where it is subjected to a process .of boiling and the oil separated there from. ‘This oleaginous product 1s then shipped in barrels to France, where it is refined, bottled, labeled “Pure French Olive Oil,” or some- thing of that sort, and returned to America to be marketed. ‘This ! knowledge should uot. however, bring jon an attack ot nausea when pouring your favorite brand of oil upon the Tettuce heads, for the product de- scribed is not unwholesome, and then again, most of it 1s disposed of in the | great cities of the east.—Pnnceton Union. Mrs Mary Laisure, wife of Joseph Laisure, living a short distance from this village, died at he- home Thurs- | day morning trom pneumonia after an | illness of a week’s duration.

THOSE UNTAXED STATE LANDS The most serious handicap to the growtb of northern Minnesota is the policy of the state in holdirg back its larger domain of state lands from settlement, afer the fashion of an ab- sentee landlord who cares fgr nothing except the prospect that one day be will be able to sell his lands at a higher price. 4 While a large sale of state lands is to be held this spring, it is the fi for a pumber of years, and the policy of the state has been to hold its lands for speculative purposes, to the detri ment of northern Minnesota. Be- sides, it owns millions of acres of swamp lands which it secured’ from the federal government in consider- ation of a promise that it would drain them, and so far it has refused to ap- propriate tbe money ; necessary to carry out this contract, In the meantime, areas open for settlement, in mauy cases, are abso- lutely unavailabie because they are surrounded by state lands that pay | no Jocal taxes, help build no schools, | and contribute nothing toward the construction of the roads that are absolutely necessary for development and-growth. The fairest bit of farm- ing land in the world is absolutely useless if it is surrounded vy dormant state lands. The man who would settle upon it would be guilty of the most arrant folly, for there would be no one to help bim build a school- nouse iv which his children might be educated, po one to help him build roads over which he might carry his produce to market, and no une to help in the support of county, towu- ship or school district. The policy of the state has been a blight upon northern Minaesota, as desolating in its effects as a plague or a drouth. It is tbis that has caused the press of northern Minue- sota to rise in a body and demand that a more liberal and farsighted policy It is this that has, be adopted.

THE STRIKE OF COAL MINERS The coal strike is on, but it has as yeb assumed nothing like the propor- tions that were feared, and what lit- tle shock it may give to general busi- ness conditions has been pretty well discounted in advance, so Lhere 1s no reason why it should prove particus larly disturbing, says the Duluth Herald. The good sense of the miners is agreeing to accept concessions from individual operators who were fair enough to grant them, instead of holding out ina body until all the operators gave in, will do much to avert serious couseguences. So long as a large part of the mines are work- ing and the production of coal is only curtailed. not saspended, the possi- bilities for evil results are limited. So many of the operators have agreed that the requests of the meu are just, and have conceded what they dewanded, that public sympathy gannot fail to be with.cbose who ha tod fuse Lo refused the slight ad ainst the operators Who return to the wage scale of thr years ago, involving as it does an ins crease of only 5.55 per cent, In these three years the cost of lrving has ma- terially increased, and the price of coal has shared in the advance. To refuse Lo return to the wages of 1903, in the face of the advance in cost of been living since then, is to appear utterly” unfair, aod under such cireu:rstances popular sympathy and support, which the coal operators have never exerted themselves to gain, should certainly | continue with tbe strikers.

The investigating committee from Michsonsin — calied Senator Grabemn for the purpose of inquiring Into the truth of some disquicting | rumors. “Gentlemen,” exclaimed th» virtu ous senator, “no man can say that John Siviter G m ever wrongfully received a dollar. Go ahead with your investigation.” A week later the committee re- turned with proof that Senator Grabem owned stock in a trust which | benefited by a tariff schedule which | Senator Grabem was instrumental in framing. “This looks bad,” said the spokes- wan of the committee. “Gentlemen, I protest.” replied the senator. “I urged this investi- gation asa private citizen of Mich- onsin, and you have wade a political propaganda by investigating my senatorial career. You may imprison my sevatorship, but as an individual Iam beyvund your reach.” Having just read the decision in the beef trust case the committee sorrowfully withdrew. upon Millinery.
