Much trouble has been experienced by the health board heretofore to get the spring cleaning done on schedule time, many putting it off until the middle of summer. The board has resolved to use more strenuous measures this spring. Parties will be notified but once in case of neglect, and if the debris and winter's accumulations are not forthwith removed,to the dumping grounds the offenders will-be dealt with accord- ing tolaw. Thisis realiv an impor- tant matter. The observance of the health ordinance should be shared by every citizen. The public health depend upon its observance. One pestilential back yard or alley may be the cause of an epidemic of disease. Let’s have a clean town and be clean citizens. WM. WETZEL AND MIKE SCHRECK Some time ago Wm. Weitzel at- tended the big prize fight at Hibbing between Mike Schreck and Ben Trem- ble. Mr. Weitzel always takes an in- terest in sporting events and espec- ially the maniy art of self defense attracts his enthusiasm. He has watched with interest the phenumi- nal career of Sehreck since that heavy weight first came into public notice, and at an early stage of the game Weitzel picked Schreck as the coming champion. When the big German pulled off the match at Hibbing the Grand Rapids man was there and was one of Schreck’s most enthusias- tic shpporters for the winning. Schreck won, The two men met and became fast friends. Mr. Weitzel mounted a magnificent deer head for the big pugilist and shipped it to him at his bome in Cincinnati. The following letter fully explains it- self: Tonapah, Nevada, April 9, 1907. Mr. Weitzel, Grand Rapids, Mino: My Dear Sir: I reveived your letter today and was surely glad to hear from you. I did not think that you would attend to that matter quite so svon, but at the same time I am ticks led half to death about iv. I hope those people in Cincinnati won’t get gay about me shooting that buck. I'll write the sporting editor of that pa- per about the big hunt and refer him to you. I'll tell him that you showed me around and helped me to geta shot at him, which you did, so if any one writes to you you will know what tosay. Well, this is truly a great country out here, but everything is dearer than hades. You can imagine how things are when a common day laborer gets $5 aday. I'll leave here next Wednesday for my home in Cin- cinnati. By the way, I will send you the gloves and the flag 1 wore for my belt as a token of friendship. I un- derstand they want me to meet Curry Kid up there pretty soon. I hove it willcome off soon, but even if 1b don’t I will pay you a visit before the Sup- mer is half gone. 1.know of nothing else that will intercst you at present, aud thanking you a thousand times for mounting the déer head, T remain your firm friend, MIKE SCHRECK. \A Word to the Public. In resigning asa member of the Grnad Rapidst ownship board of super oisors, 1 desire to express my yrati- tude and appreciation of the confidence reposed in me by the people of the towaship when they selected me to serve in that capacity, My official relations with the other members of the board have always been pleasant and therefore] regret to sever my connections with them. In justice to myself, however, and in justice to the public, J could not continue to serve the townsnip and do my duty as it should be done without neglect- ing my dairy business, which requires my entire attention three hundred and sixty-five days a year, especially during the afternoons and evenings, the hours when the meet ings are held. I make this explan- ation to the public, because] have heard some criticism by my friends because I resigned the office. Dur- iug the time I served as supervisor I honestly endevored to do what I considered for the best interests of the public. and how good my judgment was 1 will leave the public to decide, Respectfully, AL HuTcHINSON.

A bill has been introduced in the Minnesota legislature which would authorize companies organized to developelectricity for public purposes | by the use of water power to divert the course of streames and granting them the right of eminent domain. The bill is particularly for the pur- pose of starting the Minnesota Canal and Power Company in business. This company desired to divert the water of a string of lakes or streams in Lake and St. Louis counties which connect with the international water- ways to develop electrical power to be used in Duluth and along the line of the canal. There is specific oppo- sition from the loggers who now de- pend on the natural course of this water for driving logs, and from the city of Cloquet, since itis the inten- tion to tap the river above that place. But there are also general objections to the provisions of the bill in that it would permit companies to divert the waters of any stream in the stite and would make it possible for a diversion of the waters of the M issippi river around the Falls of St. Anthony.—Lumberman. Seven Years the Limit. An opinion given by the attorney general’s office of the state of Wash- ington holds that the state cannot sell timber lands upon which it has previously suld the timber, even to the party owning the timber, until after the timber has been removed. Under the new law, passed this vear, the timber reverts to the state if it is uot removed in seven years from the time of purchase, A purchaser of state timber on which the limitation was about to expire applied for the purchase of the land on which the timber stood, and the opinion was rendered to cover this case. It appears that the law provides thatif the timber is not re- moved it shall of the tand, and the man who bought the timber thought to retain it by becoming the owner of the land on which it stood before the timber re- verted to the state.
