Mr. Roecker has been a resident of this city for nearly a quarter of a century coming here in the spring of 1882 and opening a tailoring establishment. He continued in the business until this week, when he closed up shop. He expects to follow the same line of business in hisnew home and will form a“cé-partuership with his bro- ther Albert, who is now conducting a large establishment at that place.

During the past year we have had occasion to look into this matter and from our observation we are satisfied that the two judges of this judicial dis- trict perform more work for less pay, than any other judges in the state of Minnesota. This judicial district comprises the counties of Aitkin, Beltrami,’ Cass, Clearwater, Crow Wing, Itasca, Hubbardand there will soon be added to it another county. the new county of Koochiching. each of these counties there is now | of | the work these men are obliged to JUDICIARY | and the expenses they must incur In} eur judges then = con the performance of such work, we a forced to the conclusion that they are under paid aud that their salaries should be increased to at least $5,000.00 a year.

In holding these terms of court, especi- ally in Itasca county and some of the other counties of the district, in order to dispose of any considerable part of the calendar, the judges are obliged to hold the daily sessions from nine o’clock in the morning until six in the evening at-all times and very frequently for weeks at a time the court convenes earlier than nine in the morning and runs until teo o'clock at night. Sometimes for a week and more to a time the noon recess will be from twelve o’clock until one or quarter past one. Again the judges are obliged, during the sessions of the court, to hear motions, default cases, ete., in the moruing before court conyenes, at night ner it adjourns, during the noon r s and whenever it is possible tu’ obtain any time for such purpose. Then again between the sessions of court the judges are kept bu i chambers hearir Y vt over and examinipg records, ‘writing decisions, hearing motion nd such work as can be done by the court at chambers.

Lawyers from all over the district bring their cases before the judge at chambers and im order to get through the work, the court is obliged to hold night sessions. Our two jndges endeavor in every way sessions agricultural thought Munson and Mrs. Sherman of Minne- apolis and Mrs. Prescott of Bovey were present. The sympathy of the conimunity is with them in their bereavement. AGRICULTURE IN ITASCA COUNTY In last Tuesday's Duluth Herald O. C. Gregg, superintendent of farmers instituue for the state of Minnesota has the following tosay about our county: ‘The farmers institute of Itasac county, held-at Grand Rapids last Friday, was a success in every way. The attendance at the Grard Rapids meeting was better than at the previous institute. I was glad to see that a number of Duluth people were in attendance, denoting an interest taken by people from here in the agricultural deyelopment of Itasca county and Northern Mionesota in general. The busi s mon of Grand Rapids realized the vaiue of the in- stitute, and extended itevery pussi bie support, furnishing a dinner for the visitors. A. J. McGuire, in charge of the state experimental farm at Grand Rapids, isa young man but well qualified for the work which he is doing.
