SMALL FRUITS WILL BE ASPEGIALTY Many Truck Gardners Are Going to Itasca County to Supply an Industry Long Needed. “The berry, hay and root crops at the state Experimental farm are re- markably large this season,” said A. J. McGuire, superintendent of the Grand Rapids farm, in an interview recently. ‘We are cutting three and one-half tons of hay to the acre. I believe, in fact, that the average runs above this amount. From a smal] patch of strawberries, which we intended to supply only our own needs, we have sold 600 quarts of berries, in addition to using all we needed ourselves. “Bovey and Coleraine, with the mining districts surrounding, are affording. fine market forthe tuck gardener, ‘and some of the farmers around Grand Rapids have made extraordinary profits from working small pieces of ground and disposing of their crops at tnis market. Numerous truck gardners are moving into the district, ard gardening will be carried on on quite an extensive scale there hereafter. Several men are Starting out to make a specialty of small fruits. Strawberries grow to extraordinary size, and the same may be said of raspberries. All berries of this description can be raised at Grand Rapids with profit. “Everything is running along, nicely at the farm. It will be a good season all around us. The country in that vicinity is rapidly settling up, and for the most part the people are; practical farmers or dairymen.

He was accompanied by Otto Rann- franz, leaving Wednesday morning, Aug. 14. It was found, however, af- ter reaching Rochester, that the dreaded disease had too tirm a hold and nothing could be done ior the sufferer and he was brought back to the hospital here where death came to his relief at 11 o’cluck, Tuesday evening. Ed. Laughlin was a resident of Grand Rapids about seven years. He was ever of a happy and genial dis- position, endowed by nature with a cordiality that always brought bright- ness and good cheer with his presence. His passing to the great beyond is mourned by many friends whose deepest sympathy goes out to the grief stricken wife, children and relatives. The deceased was 42 years of age. Hd was a member of Pokegama Aerie No. 366 F. O. E., and the funeral was conducted under the auspices of that order from the Cat h- clic church on Friday. Interment was made in Itasca cemetery.

SAD DEATH OF JAMES CAMPBELL The community was shocked and grieved last Wednesday morning when the sad news was circulated that James campbell was dead. Mr. Campbell had been suffering from an attack of typhoid fever at St. Benedict’s hospital and had just recovered sufficiently to sit up in bed, when he was stricken with heart failure which called him to his re- ward without any apparent suffering. The remains were shipped to Park Rapids, his former home, for inter- ment. His mother and brother Wil- liam were with him at the time of his death. James Campbell was 23 years old and came to Grand Rapids a year and a half ago, and was employed as sulesman at the store of Henry Hughes & Co., where he made hosts of friends whose deepest sympathy 1s with the grief stricken mother and brother, Aad A. Tone the attenuated attor- of the board of county commissioners ‘of Itasca ‘county, came down from his home Tuesday and went to Grand Rapids at noon to attend the joint meeting ot the Koochiching and Itasca county commissioners and guilty and’ couldn’t hurt the inno- cent. It, is not altogather certain that if the Standard Oi] company is finally forced to pay the fine, it will dare make it up by assessing the people througb increased prices for oil pro- ducts. Such a move would only mean increased public indignation against the oil trust, and that in turn would mean still more severe punishment for the trust when it is brought to book again for its mis- deeds: The oil trust is most vulner- able. Its arrogant defiance of law and justice has laid it open to many more criminal prosecutions than have been begun. The offense for which Judge Landis fine of $29,240,000 is pro- bably the least vicious of allits law- breakings, since there was init no évidence that the rebate was intend- ed to crush competion. Indeed, there was evidence that the published rate of 18 ceuts was cut to 6 cents to meet the published rate of 6 cents no another road. So if the oil trust incurred more public anger by fur- ther increase in prices there would be plenty of ways in which the public could revenge itself. The theory that innocent stock- holders would be hurt may not appeal much to public sympathy, but while Standard Oil stock is largely held by the ringleaders, there is some of it floating on the market at all times, and innocent purchasers attracted by its handsome dividends have bought itas an investment for themselves and their families.—Duluth Herald.
