Washburn, Jr. 201 Guarantee Bld’g, Minneapolis, Minn. The enterprising citizens of Grand Rapids who have taken an active part in securing for the public a magnifi- cent library. furnished and already equipped with 1272 volumes of standard works in fiction, history, science, etc., have reason to feel that the result of their éfforts are appreciated, .Mrs. Hhzabeth Huntley, the librarian, intorms the Herald-Review that the number of persons who come to the reading rooms is much greater than the board antici pated, During the month of May there were exactly 1000 volumes loaned out, of which 832 were fiction and 168 non-fiction. The average daily circulation for the month was 34, the total number of borrows for the month being 568. in a most gratitying manner. which donations the board very thankfully receives. Mrs. Huntley took charge as libraman on the 12th of February last, since which time the library hes increased ‘The people of the village have been quite hberel in the donation of second-hand books, ‘The number of volumes might be very materially increased if all who have books that might be spared from their private collections would turn them over to the public library. New books, that are just now very popular, have been added as follows: “The Jungles,” by Sinclair; “Winning of the West.” by Koosevelt; *‘For the Soul of Raphael,” by Marali Ellis Ryan; “he Wheel of Life,” by Ellen Glasgow; “The Spoilers,” by Rexe Beach; “Breakers Ahead,” by A Maynard Barbour; “Life of Gladstone,” by John Morley; “‘American Politics,” by Johnston. ‘The tollowing popular magazines are kept on fill: Munseys, Everybodys, Mc- Clure’s, Century, Review of Reviews, The Bookman, Scientific American, Public Opinion, Atlantic Monthly, The Chantanquan, Youth’s Companion, Ladies Home Journal, Velinator, and others. The hbrary: is kept open from 3 to 6 o'clock p. m. and from days it 1s open from 2 to 5 p.m. 7 tog n the evening each week day. On Sun- Workman are now engaged grading th: grounds surrounding the building. Cement walks will be laid and the six lots enclosed with a fence. formal opening. When these improvements have been completed the board will fix on a date for the ’ PARK OYOTEM FOR: GRAND RAPIDS Now is the Time to Take Advant- age of Offered Opportunities. A GENEROUS OFFER IS MADE BY Hon: G. G. Hartley of Duluth, Who Points Out to-the People of Grand Rapids Their Splendid Chances. It was many years ago when Hon. G. G. Hartley first looked upon the beautiful site where now stands Grand Rapids. The tract of landon which was plotted the original town- site was so attractive to him that he purchased an interest in it. He is still owner of considerable village property here. Mr. Hartley is one of the most progressive men in Minne- sota. He not only comprehends the present, but has a prophetic vision of future greatness for this section of the state, where he has lived for more than three decades. He has always entertained a friendly feeling toward Grand Rapids and feels a personal pride in the town’s advancement. While here this week he suggested a plan whereby a system of parks could now easily be established if the peuple will take advantage of the opportuni- ties that are offered at prices that will neveragain be available. In an intersiew with a representative of the Herald-Review Mr. Hartely said: “IT made headquarters here for several years beginuing about: 1872. Early settlers tuld me this ground was originally almost prairie and that is the reason for these pine and spruce trees growing so full in the tops and so strong of roots. They are most beautiful. Your village is surround- ed by most attractive lakes. You have the beautiful Mississippi at your door. I came here from Balsam Brook yesterday and I was ‘surprised to find twenty-five miles of very good road, A little money intelligently spent would make that twenty-fiveor thirty miles of road fit for an auto- mobile to travel over, and it would modile roads from Grand Rapids tol Pokegama lake, Trout lake, Wabana lake, and all the Way up to Balsam ana those- other attractive likes to the north. Grand Rapids “péople should set about it to make this a resort town, To bring pleasure and rest seekers here, the place must be made attractive. You must provide something fur them to do. ‘The beautiful trees should be protected; your Commercial club should apply to C. M. Loring of Minneapolis for a landscape, or park man. He should be employed for say’ three months to lay outa little park system for you. ‘Then you should pick up the neces- sary lagd and improve it a little and protect the trees. It would nut cust much. Your business men are enter- prising and guccessful,and if necessary they could loan the village the neces- sary money, taking certificates of indebtedness tu be paid in future. 1 should be ylad to join them in such an euterprise, if they wish. ‘The Great Northern Railway company, some of your citizens and myselt own about 80 actes on the bank of the river just below St. Benedict’s huspital. it has a beautiful hill with the Miss- issippi at’ its foot and it is covered with magnificient bushy topped pine and spruce trees—a most attractive picnic or park grounds. For ihy part I would transfer it to the village aba nominal price of ‘one or two dollars per acre, if the village would agree to protect it from trespass and clean it up and keep it for public use. I know the railway company would join, and I trust the,leval parties interested would do the same. This would be a start for your park system. If your citizens would take hold of this. mat- ter and get it started it would soon become a matter of pride with them and Grand Rapids would be made one. of the most attractive and successful pleasure resorts in this part of the country. If Duluth had clese to it just one of the many lakes you have close at hand where the people could go and bathe and camp and enjoy themselves it would be invaluabie, or if Fargo, Crookston or Grand Forks could have one of these ‘lakes, and a small tract of the beautiful second growth forest, with its. game, how nruch they would prize it: The old pine is all cut off ia the Prairie river regiori and among the second growth is springing up a fine new stand of pine and spruce. - There is very little to attract fire and it all makes a-fine game cover. This country is full: of game and the reckless, wasteful destruction of moose and deer during the: breediog season: should be dis- couraged and stopped. It is a shame pass many beautiful lakes. The fact|and a disgrace tu this region. No isa little money would make auto- person istmaking anything worthwhile outofit. If these hunters would go. out to Bovey and work for John Greenway half as hard as they work. killing game out of season they would get more money for their work thar they get for hatf spoiled meat they bring in here and other places to sell. Game is protected in other places, and 1t ought to be here, but it is nop, and the people vf Grand Rapids should - take the matter in hand and correct it. Itcan be done without work- ing any hardships to any person.” GRAND RAPIDS 6 SUPERIOR 5 The,ball game Sunday between the, Grand Rapids team and the Superlor Telegrams wént ten innings before a decision was reached. Blasing hap- pened to be in town attending court and as he could not resist the tempta- tion to’ play witha real ball team he borrowed a suit and coveted second, base, allowing Olson to play short- stop and Sport to play telder. This made a line-up similiar to the old, team—one that had confidence in themselves, The result was a fore- gone conclusion, unless some bad bunch the size of Hibbing struck them. Stafford was opposed by. 3radshaw, and lest any of the folks, take him fora dub we hasten to say that he pitched last year for Koochi- ching, border champions, and «has heen a star at Wisconsin “U” nota great while ago. He was not up to his usual form and retired in favor of Réoney, one of the best of the young- er Superior spit ball artists. The game itself was intensily exciting from start to finish and developed as much real ball as the last six games put together. A detailed account‘is immpossible owing to lack of space. By keeping the infleld intact and getting another hitting out-fleld, Uhere is no reason why the team should not play guod ball and hold their own-with their neighbors..
