Gunn For the Senate The mention ofthe name of Hon. D. M. Gunn, of Grand Rapids, as’ the Republican candidate for state sen- ator, appears to meet with an afpro- val that overtowers the many other aspirants for the senatorial tega. As a member of the jower house, Mr. Gunn madea reputation that placed him among the leading public men of the state. He is not oneuf those who talked himself into prominence, but be won his way to favor by conscien- tious endeayor for his constituents and a keep understanding of all mea- sures brought into the house while he was a memver, ‘The Herald- Review does not. know whether Mr. Gunn isa candidate or hot, but shquld he file for the nomi- nation he will have some strong back- ing.

Wheel- ock, editor in chief of the Pioneer | Press, diedi\at his home here at 9 {o'clock today. Mr. Wheelock had been ill fur several years and had re- turned but two days ago from Cali- fornia, where he had spent the win- ter. Mr. Wheelock was burn in Nova {Scotia in 1831 and came to St, Paul in 1850. He enjoyed national distinction as journalist.—Duluth News Tri- bune. The Right View of Things. 4 Editor Cross, of the Magnet, is in line with popular ideas in regards to his commendation of Auditor Spang, Mr. Spang bas proven him- self an excellent officer. His admin- istration has been most satisfactory to the general public and elicited the following from the Magnet’s pen pusher in Wednesday’s issue of that Republican organ: _ “Several of our readers bave taenk exception to our article last week [wherein we zave M. A, Spang ‘praise or the noble work he bas done for e county as auditor thereof, stat- c ould suppo yn] public: can- didates. 'Tis true, we should give our support to-all republicans and be loyal to the party, bus why not give a democratic official due credit when he tas accomplished a good work? * We would much prefer seeing him re- turned to office this fall than to boost some of the republicans for office. ***In county politics we be- lieve that only men competent for the position should he elected and if the republicans fail in nominating a man for any county office whom we think incompetent for the position his money nor friendship could not buy our support.’ Publie Library Report.

They have plann- edin every~ possible way tu bring about better results than have pre- vailed in the past. They have been conscientious in their efforts and it appears that they have at last solved the preplexing problem through the appviotment of Mr, Hermes. Grand Rapids to the Front A_movement is dn foot backed by the business men of Grand Rapids to build a railroad from here to Prairie river to connect the Missabe & Nor- thern railway at that point. We are reliably informed that $20,000 is al- ready pledged to build the road. If this project is carried through there is no doubt that it will prove a great benefit to Grand Rapids and surrounding territory. Something more detinite will be learned in a short time.

It does not seem possible that this can be true. It does not seem possi- ble that any citizen of this state, in congress or out of it, could be willing to have thousands of acres of valuable lands flooded, crops ruined, settlers driven from their homes and from the state, roads and ditches washed out and a splendid country devastat- ed, except to prevent some much worse evil, if any worse can be ime agined. These men, too, whoever they are, cannot plead ignorance, for they kuow the situation. They know, too, thateven if the water from thee dams was needed at St. Paul for vavi- gation purposes, that it takes six weeks for any of 1t to get there and, after it has been spread for miles and* miles over the farms and meadows, only a small percentage gets back into the river channel and less gets to St. Paul. . ‘The river at that city was never raised enough by these dams to float a flat-bottomed barge. Moreover, the whole Diamond Jo line of boats is not Worth one season’s crops that should come from the flooded lands of Aitkin county alone. The present management of these dams is an outrage, if not a crime, and if any congressman from this state opposes Mr. Bede’s resolution, he will perpetrate a wrong that will tarnish his good name and cause him to be execrated in his own state.— Duluth News-Tribune. The Last Month. It would be just as well for the taxpayers to bear in mind that this is the last wonth when real estate taxes for the current year may be paid without a peualty of ten per cent. attached thereto. . . Do ovt wait until.the last. minute, ‘but attend to your taxes atunce. If you cannot pay the full amount at this time, pay oneshalf, and under the law you will be given until Oct. 31st to pay the balance without a penalty accuring. A Public Park Project. A petition is being circulated pray- ing the village council to purchase a tract of ground at the west end for park purposes. Itis the idea of the promoters to nave the same converted into a bail and racing track park, and to have the agricultural associatjon’s buildings erected thereon. The _peti- tion is meeting with the endorsement of the citizens generally, all of the heaviest taxpayers having already signed it. The purpose is a mest laudable one, and we believe that the council will see their way clear to grant the prayer of the petitioners, We most certaintly need such a park, and the acquisition of the same by the village will result in the making of our agricultural exhibitions something more than an annual pumpkin show. A New Passenger Depot. The Great Northern contemplates extensive improvements in the west end, one ‘half mile of side track, a round house and machine shop and from reliable iformation the freight depot will be moved to that end of the town and a new passenger depot will be built where the present depot stands. ‘Fhe extensive freight and passenger receipts for Grand Rapids is the principal reason for this con- templated improvement, Traveling Showman Lands in Jail. A rum-dum fellow who looked more like a maniac than a show man, gave an exhibition on the vacant lots be- tween McDonald’s and O’Connell’s saloons last Tuesday afternoon, Some of his feats, such as balancing 10 chairs on his chin and bending an inch and one-fourth iron with the center of the iron in his teeth and five men on eaci end, were evidences of great strength. After the perform- ance was over the man took his _httle collection and went out to paint the town red, but subsequently landed in the lockup. ’ Taken to Fergus Falls. Mike Dawson, who was picked up on our streets last week suffering with an estrangement of the mind, was taken to the asylum at Fergus Falls ‘Thursday, tis malady having develop- ed to that stage which demanded that action. Brooding over the death of his mothey caused his mind to become temporary unbalanced. His many friends hereabouts have hopes for bis speedy recovery.
