SHOULD BEAUTIFY GRAND RAPIDS President Powers of Village Coun- cil Says Now is the Time to Act. PUBLIC PARKS SHOULD BE SECURED The Splendid Opportunities Now Available Should be Taken Ad- vantage of Before Price and Suitable Tracts are Gone. President H. D. Powers expresses the sentiment of every enterprising citizen in this community when he Saye that the village authorities should hesitate no longer in the mat- ter of securing suitable tracts of land for public park purposes. ‘This is ‘a duty that should have been attended to years ago when lands could have beeu had for the asking. At the Present time there should be two or three well cared for parks in different, sections of the village-parks well shad- ed by a natural growth of native trees. The cost of cure and {maintainence would be only a tritling sum, while the investment would yield incalcul- able returns in adding value to every piece of real estate in the village. Beautiful parksin yillages or cities ‘should not be regarded alone from an aesthetic view puint. It is a business proposition to every municipality, Second only to streets and sidewalks. Thel man with money who is seeking a suitable place wherein to establish a business of any kind, and at the same time is looking for a de- sirable community in which to raise a family, will attach much more importance to the general appear- ance of the town and the public enterprise shown by the peuple who control its destinies. Public parks mean the substantial enhanc- ing in value of all properity within any corporate town. An iuterview with Hon, G.G. Hartley of Duluth, published in the Herald-Review a short time ago, should have caused the present council to take immedi- ate action. His genervus offer to donate his interest in-a beauiiful tract of land on the river bank east of town for park purposes gives the vil- lage an opportunity that may not be available a year hence. It is covered with asezond growth of white and Norway pines that makes 1t a natur- al park. The location is admirable, and the only expenditure ‘necessary }would be an amonnt of money suffi- cient to defray the cost of removing the underbrush. The Great Northern Railway company owns part of this tract, and it is quite likely they would give title to the village for a nominal sum. ‘There are two or three otherepieces of property that might be secured at the present time abt very reasonable prices, and they should be looked after forthwith. President Powers is very moch inter- ested in the matter of public parks and expresses himself as being very desirous of taking action at once, No one can foretell the changes and advancements that may take place ino Grand Rapids with a year ur two. Now is the time toact, as Mr. Powers says, and the Herald-Review believes that the entire council will be heart- ily with him. Another matter that should be given attention forthwith is the filling of the immense ditch through which flows between the court house and Hotel Pukegama. The council has been trying for some time past to make ar- rangements with the Great Northern Railway company to do the hauling of material for filling. If a satisfac- tory deal for this work can be arrang- ed the filling 9f that unsightiy bole will be undertaken at once. Last Two to Hibbing. K ~ ‘ Grand Rapids went to Hibbing and defeat last Sunday. Two games were pu ulled off to the bad to the local team. ‘he first game resulted 10 to 4 and the second 6 to 4 in favor of Hibbing. The Grand Rapids boys realized that they were pitted agaiust the strongest amateur aggregation of ball tossers iu the northwest and were well aware that if they won it would be because they played mighty good ball. The team was short one of its best play- ers but in the face of this they put u an excellent game throughout an should have made a better record. 1t was a case of inexcusable errors at critical mewents that told against them. phe WAS KILLED WITH A CLUB Word was received here Monday forenoon by Sheriff Hoolihan that a man had been killed at Houpt, form- erly Dexterville, on Saturddy even- ing. Deputy Sheriff Fish and County Attorney Spear went up to the scene of the tragedy Monday noon, return- ing Tuesday afternoon. Deputy Sheriff Fish related the following story of the facts as gleaned at Houpt. Archie Campbell was the victim. He was about twenty years old, had been employed in a camp io the vicinity of Houpt for some time and was well known thereabouts, Saturday after- nvon he came to town in an intoxi- cated condition from a nearby station. Going into a saloon conducted by Edison Bereman he bought a drink and got into some trouble with Bere- man through the use of abusive lan- guage. Before entering the saloon he had also made use of vile language on the street for which he was re- primanded by a companion who was with him. Upon leaving the saloon Campbell was told by Bereman that he need not return as his patronage was not desired. From Bereman’s Campbell went to the saloon and hotel conducted by a Mr. Luabree, where he was joined by twvu others who threatened to return and make a rough house of Bereman’s place. Before attempting to enter Bereman’s the party of three stood out- side and expressed themselves in very forceable language as to what they intended to do with the premises. Finally Campbell started to enter the saloon when he was struck on the head with balsam club about three feet long in the bands of Bereman. Campbell fell to the ground, but got up and walked some distance to the Labree place. He was bleeding from the mouth but did not appear to be seriously injured. He was shown to a room in the hotel. The next morning he was found dead ou the tluor of his room. having fallen from the bed. The authorities at Grand Rapids were at once notified by wire but the telegram did not reach here until Monday forenoon. Bereman was re'eased on a bond of $1,000 until Thursday when a post- mortem examination will be conduct- ed by Coroner Russell and the de- fendant will be given a preliminary hearing. Bereman has always borne a good reputation, so far as known. He formerly lived at Brainerd aud Bemidji, where he followed the bar- ber trade. A Sample Case for Harry. The following case reported from Mankato, Minn., might be read with interest by Chiet of Police Harry of Grand Ropids, who arrested a Great Northern engineer Jast spring for. blocking the street crossings. The court found the defendant guilty as charged, and an appeal was taken by the company’s attorney. Otlicer Harry .experienced considerable difti- culty in getting the case trial, as At- torney Spear, mispresentative of the state, failed and refused to have any-. thing to.do with the prosecution. His anoual pass probably had some weight in the matter. The Mankato case is reported as follows: “Conductor Charles Raney of the Chicago & Northwestern rvad, who was arrested last December for blucking a street crossing longer than the law allowed, and who was convicted but took an appeal to the supreme court, was be- fore Judge Comstock in the munici- pal court yesterday to receive his sentence, the supreme court having sustained the city, He was sentenced to pay a fine of $50 and costs, or $126.98 in all.” Will Engage in Stock Raising William West, professor of history inthe Minnesota State univerisity, arrived in Grand Rapids Wednesday morning to spend a month or so on his farm located on the south shore of Pokegama lake> Twosons of Prof. West bave been out on the farm for some time. It is the intention of the professor to put his oldest son in charge and engage in stock raising. The young man is a graduate of the state agricultural college at Hamline and should be well equipped to make a success of the undertaking. The fact that this is essentially a stock and dairy couaty is becoming recug- nized by students of the business. In a few years a vast change will be ap- parent jn the prosperity enjoyed by men engaged in farming and stock raising in ltasca county. Prof. West owns 470 acres of fine grazing and agricultural lands, and he is one of the men who is enthusiastic over the future of this section of Mjnnesota, OUR SUMMER SCHOOL CLOSED A Month’s Useful Instruction to Itasca County Teachers. INTERESTING LECTURES &: FEATURE A Regular Attendance of Nearly Fifty Throughout Entire Term— Much Profitable Information Acquired by Attendants. A very successful term’ of summer school at Grand. Rapics closed last Wednesday nvon. Everyone connect- ed with the work express themselves as being well pleased with the splendid results attained.. There was a regular attendance of nearly fifty throughout the term, and the close attention paid to the instructions given aod the deep interest evinced: by the con- ductcrs and pupils alike combined to make the 1906 course of post graduate work the most profitable ever held in Itasca county. Mrs. Hattie F. Booth, superintendent of schools, took an active iuterest in the daily sessions. She spoke in very. flattering terms of Mr. Newberry and Mrs.. Bochner, who conducted the school,.as educat= ors of» advanced, practical and vhorough methods, whose instruce tions to the attending teachers would necessarily add much of vatue to the profession in this county. Superin- tendent A.J. McGuire of the North- east Experiment Farm, delivered two able addresses to the school, taking as his subject the importance of in- dustrial training aod the ultimate teaching of scientific farming in- tite: public schools. The present tendenoyy ofsolargea number of students to» give their attention to the professions~ will inevitably result in au over=pro-- duction of brain workers, said Ma.. McGuire, while the more profitable: and more natural following—that of farming and stock raising along: scientitic lines—is today deplorably neglected. This is a condition that cannot continue, said he, if the coun- try is to prosper and go onward and upward to the-goal that it should at- tain. Mr. McGuire isan enthusiastic advocate of practical and useful teaching in the public schools. He considers the introduction of indus trial training and domestic science as a department of our public schools the most important step yet taken in the progress of Grand Rapids’ educa tional affairs. Mr. McGuire’s talks were listened to “with much interest and protit. A reception was given in the as- sembly room of High school Monday evening by the attendants of the summer schuol and a few invited guests for Mr. Newberry gnd Mrs, Bochner. ‘The evening was spent very delightfully. Mr, Newberry favored the assembled guests with several vocal solos, and Mrs. Bochner deliver- ed a reproduction lecture entitled, “Acres of Diamonds,” in a manner that. was wuch appreciated. The lecture is one that takes a very op- timistic view of the material affairs of life, made up of many short stories, each pointing a moral, a way to live happy and means whereby others. may be made happier. As told by Mrs. Bochner in a clear, forceful and entertaining style “Acres of Dia« monds’’ was une of the best iectures ever delivered in Grand Raplds. Cement Block Business. J. F. Freestone has his cement block business well established at Bovey and the enterprise promises to be a success in that thriving town. He has already cuntracted several jobs and has two houses also under contract, When once the people learn the yalue of this material for builditg purposes-Mr. Freestone bes lieves his yards at Grand Rapids and Bovey will be kept running to their full capacity. He has one residence at Bovey now in course of construc— tion, 18, by 22, two stories, high which will be the first structure of the kind in the mining town. A hen house 16 by 24 feet in dimensions has just been completed by Mr. Freeetune at St. Benedict’s hospital. The manufac- ture of cement blocks promises ta soon become an important manufae taper: business in this v ieinity,
