What paper isgiving somespicy inside history on affairs in this county and it is hoped that it will continue te doso. Let us know where we are fab.” ——+. Every visitor to Grand Rapids is not only charmed with the natural beauty of the location, the tine ap- pearance of her public and private buildings, but as well with the citi- zeus. ‘This is the most desirable town to live in that northern Minne- suta can boast of. It has no ‘domi- fant element” in population. > D. M. Gunn of Itasca, W. L. Case of Carlten, and C. P. DeLaittre of Aitkin. certainly look good to Us as representatives of the 52nd districtin the state legislature. Each of the zentlemen named is a thorough and ‘successful business man and fully understands the needs of the district. Paste this in your hat.—Cass Lake Noice. ——_—.—_—_ Hon. Frank A. Day, chairman of ‘the Democratic state central com- anittee, has issued a call for the state convention to be held at Minneapolis ‘on Tuesday,the 4th day of September, 1906. Ltasca county will be entitled toeight delegates. The county ¢on- ventions will be held on August 25, the precinct caucuses will be held at an earlier date to be fixed by the county convention. Epiror JOHNSON of the Deer River News charges the Itasca County Inde- peddent with being proficient in the use of Billingsyate, but the compari+ son isan insult even to the intelli- gence and polish of the habitues of the notorious London fish market. ‘The Herald-Review will venture to say that the beligerants of Billings- gate could at least make themselves understood, and that is more than the Independent is able to do. —— AT THIS early stage of thecampaign’ yame it lcoks as though there would de no contest for the judgship in the Fifteenth judicial district, the position suw held by Hon. W. S. Mce Clenahan. In 1900 the contest be- tween Judge Holland and Judge Mc- Clenaban was quite spirited, but there were no scars left, and as poli- tics should not be considered in con- nection with the judiciary—from justice of the peace up tothe supreme court of the United States—and as Judge McClenahan has long since proved his ability and eminent fitness for the bench, it is notin the least likely that he will have any opposi- tion. He has not yet been announced us a candidate, but that he will be unanimously re-elected there is now po doubt. ee Maybe, and Maybe Not. Deer River News. Maybe the citizens of Deer River will take great prideand be overjoyed by the commendation and indorsenient ubey receive frum the Grand Rapids Independent. Anent the Inscho case gwbhat moral and highly respectable | | journal says: “Some spicy disclosures | were made, which gives evidence that. Deer River has lost none of the rotten- ness for which it was famous of old.” Comparisons are odious, but Deer Riv- er at its worst, when it was a frontier town and popluated by the class who usually congregate in a new village, was never so rotten or su lust to self respect as the bybdrid who casts this gratuitous insult at our townsmen. And the reflection dves: more to “soothe our ruffled breast” than any- thing else. Fined For Contempt. D.C, McDougall of Jesse Lake township, one of the special venire- men subpoened to serve as a petit juror in district court, was committed to jail yesterday for a period of thirty days by Judge McClenahan for con-- tempt of court. McDongall’sname was drawn from the box, and upon exami- nation by the state the fact developed that “])unc” was somewhat inebriated, and he adinitted that he had a_ bottle of whiskey in his pocket. In answer to further questioning he. testified that he had not discussed the case at issue with anyone and had formed no opin- 1on as to the guilt or innocense of the defendant, Milier,. The state asked for time to produce evidence to the contrary. Ina short me one Daw- son was produced asa witness. He testified that he had discussed the Miller case with McDongall. He also testified positively that he had not mentioned his conversation with Mc- Dongall to any person until he was called to the witness stand. This sounded so “fishy,” in view of the fact that the man was called by Spear, that the court probably disregarded the testimony of the state’s witness. Dawson 1s a disreputable character— just such an;individual as might be expected to haye little regard for his oath, He is known as one of Spear’s “‘Hawkshaws.” Inasmuch as Mc- Dongall wasin an intoxicated - con- dition when he was called for exami- nation asa juror and hada bottle of whisky on his person the court found sufficient cause to commit him as stat- ed. This action will probably have a tendency to warn jurymen against the habit of appearing in court for service in an intoxicated condition, Railroad Men May Come. Secretary Dickinson. of the Com- mercial club has been advised by the committee that the Great Northern railway employees of Superior have decided to spend their annual vacation at Grand Rapids., It has not yet been definitely decided whether the employees will take their annual outing this year, as arrangen ents for transportation” has not: been- settled. ‘The railroad.company heretofore has donated the train seryice, but this year the committee has been advised that ipwill cost $800. Should satisfactory terms be reached a party of fifteen hundred to two thousand people will be in Grand Rapids to enjoy them- selves for a day sometime early in August. Should they conclude to come the ladies’ and gentlemen who visit us may be sure of a royal wel- come and a good time. In. Justice Court. Justice Huson has turned over to the village treasurer since his last re- port $135 in fines and $240 to the cou ity. eter Matt and Chris Johnson are each doing ten days in the county jail for being drunk and disorderly, ‘Ben Carlton and John Rickey were found to be undesirable as citizens and under suspended sentences were permitted to make their respective “getaways.” Ollie Grant and Vern St. Clare were adjudged guilty of a misdemanor and each fined $50, which sums were paid. Peter Oison was fined $25 for using abscene language, and $10 tor assault. Pete paid up. ‘Thomas Hubbard, charged with having burglenzed the Bovey Hardware company’s store, was bound over to the grand jury. Will Attend Encampment. At a recent meeting of B. F. Huson post G. A. R. it was decided to at- tend the national encampment to be held at Minneapolis in a body. There is now a membership of about forty in the local post and several more are expected to juin the order before the dates fixed for the national gather- ing. ‘The encampment will be beld at Minneapolis-August 13 to 20, inclusive. It has been arranged to take the famous Pennsylvania Bucktail band with Huson post. Some of the men- bers of the band reside in Michigan, but will be sent fur, funds for that purpose having already been raised. New Creamery at Hill City. The Hill City Creamery company is now doing business. Mr. J. J. Martin, one of the proprietors, was in town this week and made arrangements to -have their butter handled by the Itasca Mercantile company’s store. At present the number of cows available 1s not sufficient to justify the venture but the men who are back of the enter- prise feel that they will be able to demonstrate to the fermers of the Hill City district that it will pay them to gc We attention to keeping dairy secured, _ Supt. C. D. Newberry of the Ely schools and Mrs. Julia Bochner, prin- cipal ofa public school in Minneapolis, arrived Wednesday and opened the summer schooi for teachers on ‘Thurs- day morning, ‘The term will last four weeks, and it is expected that the attendence will not be less than filty. Both Supt. Newberry and Mrs. Boch- ner are classed among the most promi- nent and successful educators in the state, and it 1s expected that their work here during the month will result in much benefit to the teachers of Itasca county. Drowned in Little. Trout Lake. John Swanson, aged about twenty- five years met death by drowning in Little Trout lake on the 4th of July. He was: bathing with a party of com- panions from Northome. and was taken with a cramp. The funeral was conducted trom Kremer’s undertaking rooms this morning at 10 o'clock. FRANK POEPKE AND HIS PIGS. ‘ ‘ Farmer Frank Poepke has gone:in- to the rig business by the wholesale. He says there’s more money 1n swine than there 1s in’ blooded dogs, and he’s tried both. Next year he expects to have at least one thousund porkers on for the market—if he has good luck in breeding. ~Mr. Poepke has one blooded Berkshire mother pig that is supporting a family of seventéen pig- lets and he says} they are all doing nicely, For many years Poepke was the leading tailor of Grand Rapids but since he has acquired an Ltasca county farm in Bass Brook township he wouldn’t return to business’ in the city ona guaranteed premium, Be- sides a big flock: of pigs and other stock, he has droves of chickens, geese, ducks and turkeys, to say noth- ing of twelve pups and eight cats. WAS CAUGHT WITH THE GOODS John Cochran, whose reputation as a skilled and successful hunter of big game is second to none, was arrested on Tuesday of this week by Deputy Game Warden Rutledge of Bemidj for killing two deer and having in his possession the remains thereof on his premises in this village. The hearng was had before Justice Huson, who imposed a totel fine-of $115 and costs, with the alternative of serving a total of seventy-five days in the -county jail. John paid up. ‘That Mr. Cochran has been a frequent violator of the game laws has been no secret. He can get a deer or a moose most any time he so desires, and 1t is said that he has been in-the habit of disposing: of the meat to parties in Grand Rapids. This. practice should be put a stop to. ‘There is at least no moral crime attached to. the act when a settler secures a deer for home consumption, even though it be out of season, but when game is wantonly slaughtered’ during the summer for the market it 1s then a moral offense as weil as being contrary to the statutes of the state. In a majority of cases the carcas rots betore it can be consumed. ‘The Herald-Review is not a stickler on the game law proposition, but there must be a limit that all men should be com- pelied to observe. A live game wat- den should be appointed for this county, GRAND RAPIDS 8 BIG DULUTH 2 The ball game on the Fourth be- tween the Big Duluths and Grand Rapids ended in a score of 3 to 2 in favor of the Rapids, after sume stren- uous ball playing and rooting. And the end is not 1n sight yet, as the same teams play Sunday, one to de- monstrate that it: was no accident and the other ww show — the natives how the national game should. be played by a city team when their dander is up. Itshould be a game worth seeing. The gawe Wednesday was a combi- nation of good and bad playing, both teams with the good playing goming after easy chances had been offered to retire the side. Duluth scored in athe tirst inning vbrugh some kid work-by the locals in trying to catch arupner between third and home which wound upin a bad throw, a bum catch and the slippery runner registering. Tbeir vther run came in the third on more errors, but after this session Stafford tightened up and did not allow any more errors, though be was in seyeral bad holes off and on. In the seventh it louked squally with three on the path and none down, but a pop tly, a strike out and grounder Lo short cleared things up and Duluth’s best chance tu win went glimmering. The Rapids were obliged’ to get their runs on hits which was some- thing new for them as in the game heretofore they were made a_ present of a few on errors.

He has this county almost since its birth and he has done more than live—he has let the state know that he was alive, that he lived in a live county and an exceedingly lively town. Boosting has been his vocation, and he has spent much time and money in boost- ing on-every occasion where the interest of this portion of the state needed a champion. He bas done much to hasten the development of this county. He has been a consist- ent republican, and has established a high standing in the party’s state councils. This standing, and his wide acquaintance with men and methods would make him a powerful mano in the state senate, to which he aspires for a membership this fall. It is the duty of all Itasca county voters to work for his election, and we confi- dently believe it will be a pleasure for the other counties in the district to join us in placing this strong man in the state senate.” ARE STRIPPING AT THE HOLMAN ‘The Oliver Iron Minning company has stared two steam shovels at work stripping the Holman iron minein Iron township and this proper- ty will be opened up in good shape to énter the shipping list next spring. 1t will be operated as a steam shovel and underground mine. There is a shaft on the property now. The overburden of the mineral in | minate the weed in flelds in all lived -in ; the Western {Mesaba will be suitable for hoisting ore, d& playing that was. happening after. the they weresunk mainly for exploratory ; purposes, but some of them will be put in commission, | Contrary to expectations there will }be no ore vhipped from the Western Mesaba district this year. By this-is Meant the Bovey district. Time was, and not so very long ago, that Nash- ‘wauk was considered the Western Mesaba, and was the frontier of the {mining development west from Hib- bing, but that point is now well with- in the limits of the active operations. WILD MUSTARD NUISANCE Wild mustard will soon become a nuisance in this vicinity unless stren uous measures are adopted to exter- dir- ections, in quantities that will coyer all northern Minnesota in a very ishor time. No weed that grows more prolific and it isa destroyer of all graio where it becomes establish- ed. There isa law on the statute | books that requires all owners vf land in Minnesota tu clear their premises :of this pestiferous weec. An im- imense crop of the stuff is now in blossom on the farms of George F. Meyers and W. C. Gyndall that may be seen from the road to Pokegama lake, Before itis too late the law should be enforced. RESUMPTION OF COURT WORK Judge McClenahan and Court Re- porter Moody arrived from Brainerd ‘Thursday, where they had spent the Fourth, and court was called to order at 3:30 in the afternoon. Sheriff ‘ Hooliban and his deputies had beep busy securing 125 special yenirmen, and when court epened the required number were ready tu respond to the ‘call of their uames by Clerk Rossmus- sen. A jury in the Miller case is now being secured. The first name drawn from the box was Thomas Mitchell of Bovey and he proved to be satisfac- tory ta both the defense aud the state. % As the Herald- Review goes to press nive jurers have beeu accepted, as follows: James Mitehell, Bovey, bartender; Wuyi.

AN IMPORTANT = MEETING JULY § (Continued from First Page) the vicinity of Little Falls, thence northwestward to the north bountry of the state via the Red River valley;. fourth, from some convenient point on the Mississippi river westward to Breckenridge; tfth, from some point on the river westward to the foot of Big Stone lake; sixth. seventh and eighth, from the twin cities south- westerly, south and southeasterly to the state line. A total length of approximately 1500 miles. In a limit of one mile on each side of such a system there will be nearly two mil- lion acres of land. Assuming that the cost of such a system would ave- rage two thousand dollars per mile we havea togal cost of three million dollars or one dollar and a half per acre for the land laying within one mile of the road. As it would require several years to carry out sueh a plan there is ‘no question that the value of the land would increase tea much greaterextent during the years of construction than the total cost of the investment. The plan of these highways will be published within a few weeks merely as a tentative pro- position in furtherance of the general idea to establish a complete system of highways for the state and to assist in the development of the nortbern part. HEAP INDIAN BIG BANQUET The Cole banquet given last Mon- day evening at Glengarry hotel in Walker was furnished with a menu card that was certamly unique in its pre- paration. ‘Ihe several courses were printed in the Chippewa language.
