His WAS THE FIRST FILING The People of Itasca County Are Quite - Unanimous in Expressing Approval of His Decision to Enter the Race —Not Likely To Be Others. While in St. Paul on Wednesday of this week Hon. D. M. Gunn of Grand Rapids tiled his name with the secre- tary of state as a Republican candi- date for the senatorial nomination in the Fifty-second district. For some time past Mr..Gunn has been urged taenterthe race by prominent Re- pRblicans from every county in the district. When he left for St. Paul first of the week he was still un- cided, and it was not until he had considered. This has always been a strong Repbulican district and in all probability will so remain for another term, at least. Gunn bas had legis- lative experience, and as a member of the lower house he made good to an extent that placed him among the leaders of the party inthe state. His record as a member of the lower house in the sessions of 1895-7 is one of which the electors have reason to. feel justly proud. Mr. Guso is not ap orator, but he is possessed of a faculty that enables him to state his position on any measure in a manner that cannot be mis- understood. His great strength th lies in his high standing among the members. They have confidence in his integrity and his advocasy of a bill is always sure of support. Case of Carlton has filed as.a candidate for the legislature. He is said to be a man of good ability ‘by those who know him. The Fifty-second district is starting out to head the list’ with strong men on the Republican side. Now let the Democrats put up their best legislative material aud there can be no mistake. The campaign, in northern Minnesota, should be conducted along non-partisan lines. HON. D. M.

The cry has long been made all over northern Minnesota to “send strong men to the legislature.” There is much to be done at the next session for the material advancement of this section—things tu be dore that weak- lings cannot do. If the people are in earnest—if they have profited by past experieaces—the mental mendicants who have sneaked into the legislature in past years will be relegated to pri- vate life and able men will only be Thisesection of the state has been getting the small end of legislation long enough. It is time to. move unanimousiy to elect men who are able to demand and force such legis- lation as will place this most import- ant section of Minnesota in a posi- tion to advance ber natural resources. We want the swamp lands drained; we want state aid for the building of roads; we want appropriations for advertising the resources of the state; apd we want men capable of accom= plishing these things. The Herald- Review endorses D, M. Gunn. GRAND RAPIDS COW NUISANCE The family cowis a great blessing to the owner, but in many instances is aa intolerable nuisance to the public. The keeping ofa bovire to furnish lacteal fiued is commendable enterprise and a display of excellent household judgment, but the keeper should bave some respect for the rights of his neighbors. The man who has planned fer years to beautify bis lawns, grow shrubbery and shade trees, cannot be blamed if there is murder in his heart when he discov- ers some morning that his plans aod schemes and years of careful solici- tude-to make his home bloom with pleasant surroundipgs have been de- stroyed by sume devilish cow that broke down ‘his fence or adroitly opened the gate and caused all things alive on the premises to perish. Vhat mau could scarcely be blamed if he should empty the contents of a double-barreled shot gun into the jabatonny. ‘of the aforesaid devilish bovine.’ The ordinance relating - to the keeping of stock off the streets of the village should be rigidly enforced, and violators thereof should be com- pelled to pay full damages in every instance where property has been de- stroyed or injured, A poundmaster should be appointed who would be alert in the discharge of his duties. It has heen too often the case in the past that the han appointed to that position would rather make a trip to Luaprairie or baif way to Cohasset to gather up a herd of fifteen or twenty egwsina bunch, from without the village limits, than lo take a le | marauder from the garden or lawn of fa village resident. 1t would seem that the average -pound-master usu- pally plays for vig stakes. He scorns ia penny-anty game. This abuse of | the office could be sammarily stopped iby the council if the appointee were required to furnish a valid’ bond and then be forced to make good for any ; such transgression of the law. The depredations perpetrated by cows io gardens and lawns throghout the vil- lage this spring bave been worse than ever before. It has become so un- bearable that mapy an outraged citi- zen kas threatened to resort to de- sperate measures. The untimely death of bossy would be regretted no more by the owner than is the un- timely and unlawful destruction of the well groomed home surroundings, by the proud owner thereof. * ‘The damage to sidewalks and the accom- panying filth thereon caused by cattle amatter that the council no doubt has in mind, and there is reason to hope that the abuses from this source will be abated ina substantial man- ner.

A POPULAR SUMMER RESORT Many Cottages Erected Along the Shores of Big Trout and Waubana Lakes by People Who Enjoy Life With Nature. Within the past few years there has been a decided increase in the popu- lation of the Waubana district. A number of summer cottages. have sprung upabout the shores of the lake in addition to the advent of a large number of settlers. The Launsberry & Simmons Land company, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, some time ago purchased several large tracts of agricultural lands in that vicinity, and while they have not con- ducted a strenuous campaign for the disposition, of their holdings they have made many sales to actual set- tlers, but still more to parties who buy for speculative purposes. Mem- bers of this firm have just completed a very pretty seven-room summer cot- tage on Waubana lake just opposite the famous Cochran resort. Irve Martia is rebuilding his resort at the head of Big Trout lake and will soon be ready to entertain guests for the summer and fall seasons. The Burrows-Magee summer home—the most beautiful and elaborate place of the kind in Itasca county—will soon beascene of lively entertainment. The Simons’ cottage, located on a picturesque point between Big and Little Waubanas, is being put in rediness for occupancy early in July. This will be the third season since the opening of this deligbtlul sum- mer home. lt is always patronized toits full capacity and the guests who have enjoyed Mr. Simons’ hospi- ess return for more of the same kind. Wm. McLaughlin has bought a tract just east of the Cochran place and has lumber on the ground for the erection of a seven-room house. He has already builta very comfortable log house in which the family are now living. Mr.*McLaughlin has selected a commanding site overlook= ing the lake and it is one of the most, beautiful spots that one could wish to look upon. The writer enjoyed a few days recreation, rest and recuper- ation with John Wasson and _ his estimable wife last week. Mr. and Mrs. Wasson’s home is located on Little Waubana lake, beside the, Prairie river road. For some years they conducted a stopping place for wayfarer, and it was looked upon by the hundreds of patrons who enjoyed their munificent hospitality and bad eaten of the good things that were always spread upon the spacious tables asa place most desirable to reach for a stop-over, or a feed for both man and beast. This estimable couple are growing along on the last halt of life’s jourvey and they bave practically abanded the “ranch’* business. But it is certainly a homes like place to spend a few days, and if the guest doesn’t take on a few extra pounds of flesh it’s because he’s an incurable dyspeptic. Mr. Wasson has a forty-acre tract of fine agricul- tural land, mapy acres of which has been cleared. He carries the mail for Uncle Sam thrice a week between Waubana and Grand Rapids and has a very comfortable three-seated buggy for the accommodation of passengers who may wish to travel between the two points. The parent—old ‘‘E] Paterno” him- self—of the interesting settlement about this chain of little ialand seas, is Dave Cochran, whose famous and | popular summer resort is Iccated on what might be described as the south- east corner cf Big Wauhana lake. Mr. Cuchran has been a woodsman and poineer all his life. In Michigan and Wisconsin he logged for many years, coming to [tasca county tn the spring of 1893. Soon after be bome~« ; steaded 160 acres on which now stands a twenty-room frame building, especially planned fur the accommo- dation of the hundreds of people whom he annually entertaias through the fishing and huntiugseasons. Visitors. to the Cochran summer home come from all over the United States. Mr. Cochran has been an element in ad- vertising Itasca county as the most desirable section of northern Minne sota for fishing and hunting.
