Tuesday, September 3, is the day designated as opening day for schools, owing to Monday being Labor Day and a legal holiday. Prof. Freeman, who has just returned from his sum- mer vacation, and his able corps of teachers, among whom will be seen but four new faces, will put the Grand Rapids schools ‘way up in the lead. The people of Grand Rapids have cause for congratulation over the selection of teachers that have been made for the coming terms of fall, winter and spring. Some of the most advanced educators of the state have been secured. The members of,the board of school district No. 1 have been diligent and pains-taking in the selection of village aud in rural schools. The board{consists of F. E. Reuswig, president; Dr. Costel- lo, clerk; and C. EB. Aiken, treasurer. The enrollment this year is expect- ed to surpass any previous year in the history of the public scools of Grand Rapids, there being many more families that have taken up their residence in this place during the past two months. The High school here is also expected to have a large number of outside pupils. The opening of {the public schools on this year marks another step in advance in the growth of our schools in the opening of the new grade built on Ferest lake. The building is without doubt the most beautiful and artistic of any grade building in the state. Miss Margaret Aiton will be principal and three grades. the first, second and taird, will be accomodated init this year. All pupils living on the west side of Houghton and belonging in these grades should be sent to this school. This school year will be markek in the High school by an endeavor .to meetsthe conditions necessary to place this schoo] on the list of secondary schools whose graduates will be admitted to all the colleges of the Middle West without examina- tion. {Only a very few High Schools in the state have this distinction at the present time. The business course in the High school is to be , given special emphasis and it is the intention to make it stronger and to give more attention to the work in short hand and type writing. <A diligent «student who completes the business course should be able to do the work of most offices requiring astenographer. Special attention is to be given business ‘correspondence. The yood begining made last year in manual training and domestic science leads us to believe that these departments will be able to do even greater things than have been ac- complished in them. The course will be more complete in every way. Students expecting to enter High school this year should make it a point to be on hand the first day. No new faces will be found among the grade teachers. Miss Lillian Schmitt and Miss Ellen Roe are new to the High school work here. The former will have charge of the Ger- man and history, the latter mathe- matics and sceince. Miss Anna Schurtz will be in charge of the domestic sceince and Miss Anna Whiting the work in music and drawing. All the new teachers are well prepared for their respective positions and come highly recom- mended. Following are the names and posi- tions of the teachers for the 1907-8 terms of school in the yillage of Grand Rapids: E. A. Freeman, superintendent. Florence Burlingame, High school principal. Ellen F. Roe, Asst. principal. Mary Lathrop, Latin and commer- cial. Lillian C. Schmitt, German and history. Olga Wetzel, eighth grade.

WILL HOLD A COUNTY FAIR The officers of the Itasca County Agricultural association have decid- ed to hold a fair and thelist of pre- miums is now being prepared for publication. An effort will be made to stir up public interest and make the 1907 fair equal to any ever held in |; the county. ‘It now appears that by another year Itasca county will have suitable grounds, buildings and track for this purpose that will make the event one of unusual interest and benefit. The dates for this years fair have not been fixed butit will likely be held during the first week in October. STILL FIGHTIN FIGHTING AT EVELETH The following was reported to the News Tribune from Eveleth on the 29th: Deputies to the number ef about 40 sprang quite a surprise early this morning onalarge body of strikers who had congregated at their hall. The strikers had gathered at break of day and it was thought to be their pur- pose to makea futher attempt to stop miners on their way to work between 6 and 7 o’clock, just as they have tried to do in the evening on a couple of occasions recently. The strikers had scouts out watch- ing for the approach of deputies, but the latter madea detour this morn- ing reaching the hall by an entirely different route from that usually taken. The result was that the de- puties arrived at the halland had the place practically surrounded before the strikers were aware of their pres- ence. As all the deputies were armed{ @ with rifles and andmber of them carried pick handles in addition, their order to disperse was obeyed with more alacrity than usual. The order was not given, however, until the strikers had left the hali and were congregating in groups here and there as is their custom. Tomorrow, September 1st, you may legally-kill ducks, prairie chickens, grouse, snipe, woodcock and upland plovers. The season will not be open for the killing of partridge until October tst. 1 COMMISSIONERS HOLD MEETING The board of county commissioners held a special meeting un Thursday of this week at which con- siderable important business was transacted. A large number of petitions for the laying out and im- provement of county roads were re- ceiyed and acted upon. Applications for the abatement of taxes and a uumber of corrections was also pre- sented and disposed of. A mining lease on the county poor farm was granted to John Rellis and Ernest N. Remer. The lease will tuo for one year, during which time the Jeasses are bound by bond to furnish certain blue prints of the lands and samples of the materials found thereon through explorations. A list of Grand and pitit jurors| were drawn for the next regelar term of district court. The official proceedings will appear in the next issue of the Herald- Review. PLANS CENSUS OF MINNESOTA DEER The state game and fish commis- sion, through Carlos Avery, its exe- cutive agent, will endeavor to obtain data as accurate as possible relative to the number of deer in northern Minnesota, and jthe localities where | tfiets, | numerous and information about the | collective | the deer are most prevalent. To this end, Mr. Avery is having blanks prepared which he intends to send to all deputy wardens and post- masters throughout the northern part of the state. The blanks will ask for an estimate of the number of deer and big game in each respective vi- cinity, and descriptions of the dis- where the game is most character of the country. _ “This will be the first information at all authentic relative to big game in Minnesota,” said Mr. Avery to day. |All hunters in'a general way know of so-called haunts of deer, but no one is in possession of any authentic, information. This will not only be very valuable data 1or use in protecting game, but will be in- formation hunters will be very glad ' to find on file. “Personally, 1 am of the opinion that deer are materially increasing in Minnesota, and have been for several years past. The professional poacher and hunter for lumber camps, is practically a thiag of the past. Pub- lic sentiment in the north used to protect such men. It doesn’t any. more. There is some deer hunting done out of season by settles who use the meat for their own consumption. Sentiment still protects those men in jury trials, but I think there is a continual change for the better going on and that before many years Minne- sota will become famous for its abun- dance of deer, moose and caribou.

Mr. Price could not ve seen by a repre- sentative of this paper, The report bore a Bovey date: “A really remarkable runaway accident occured at Buckeye Lake, two miles from here, at about 8:30 last night, in which Frank Price, a prominent attorney of Grard Rapids, figured in the leading role. “Mr. Price had been in Bovey on business during the day andin the evening started todrive home. He had gotton only a mile or so out of town when his horses became un- manageable and were soon tearing down the road ata lively gait. It was quite dark and Price could see but a short distance ahead. Before either of them realizeed what had happened, the runaways had collided with a rig driven in the oppsite direction by Joe Andres of this place. “The pole of Price’s buggy was ramn- med clear through the body of the of Andres’ shorse, entering the breast and comingjoutin the fiank. The animal was instantly killed. One of the runaway horses landed in the front seat of Andres rig. Both men Phe.

Although one of the horses was killed, neithor of the others was injured in the least, nor were the buggies damaged, except the pole of Price’s buggy, which pirced the horse and was broken.” In connection with the foregoing the Herald-Review has learned that the runaway team was one owned by Alderman Root, who conducts a livery business in Grand Rapids. The team was driven by one of Mr. Root’s men when the, accident vccoured. The horse killed was own- ed by John Hurley. NO GREAT FOREST FIRES LAST YEAR Po The annual report of General C. C. Andrews, forestry cotamissioner of Minnesota, forthe year 1906, hastmade its appearance. It isa volume of 150 pages and contains many illustra- tions. Statistics of forest fires for that year show that a total of 11,561 acres were burned over causing a total damage of $14,115. The class- ification of causes is as follows: Clearing land, 5: burning brush or meadows, 6; railroad locomotives, 5; other causes, 8, and unknown causes, 22. Prairie fires covered a total of 17,261 acres, causing a total damage of $2,087. General Andrews says in his report that the danger from forest fires in Minnesota has increased, owing to the many new settlements. new rail- roads, new logging and mining camps and general activity over a wide extent of the northern part of the state. He points out that whereas the money value destroyed by the forest fires may not always be im- pressive, it often happens that the losses fall on settlers who can ill afford them. The most disastrous during 1906 from forest tire occutred in St. Louis county June 14, accord- ing to the general’s report, when 200 acres were burned over with a loss of $4,000. It is an interesting fact that the cause assigned for this fire is “tobacco smoker.” This fire occured in 29-17. General Andrews makes an extended and interesting report of a canoe trip of 100 miles from Basswood Lake to Grand Portage, along the northern border of Lake and Cook counties. The rout was over 10 lakes and con- necting streams, and 24 portages. Twenty years ago Alexander Win- chell made a geological examination of much of the country and pro nounced it desolateand uninhabitable but this was a few years after exten- siye forest fires had occourred. The general in his report says that the country is far more attractive now, as most of the present forest has grown since then and has given the region a changed appearance. Most of the country visible from the route was'too broken and rocky for agricul- fure, but is valuable, the report says, for the production of timber. Phe only settlers seen along the route were at Gunflint. The report goes into details of the forestry situation in Minnesota for purposes of information on the subject of forestry generally.

ONLY TEN EXTRA DEPUTIES Now Retained Under Sheriff Hooli- han in the Mining Towns— Operations at Mines Uninterrupted. Sheriff Hovlihan is well pleased with the strike situation in Itasca county. He is pleased both from the view point of the workers and the operators. The great rank and file of the men who work in the mines are receiving good wages and good treatment and are entirely satisfied with conditions as they now prevail. This is evident from the fact that the men are as anxious to have the pro- tection of the authorities against assults by the striking mob as are the mine operators themselves. The Prompt action of Sheriff Hoolihan at the outset and the determined stand which he took against lawless- ness brought about a feeling of security among the men who wished to work that made intimidations in Itasca county impossible. Full forces are at work in the Cole- raine district and the same is said te be true of the Nashwauk district. Atthe latter place there is still maintained a delegation of agitators by the Western Federation and meet- ings are held. No inflamatory demon- Strations are made, however, and little attention is paid to their mouthings. Sheriff Hoolihan has but ten extra deputies on special dutie. From the disastrious effects of the strike inaugurated by the Western Federation of minerson the Mesaba ranges at this time organized labor will not recover for many a year. It is apparent toevery obseryer that the designing Mahoney, Petreiella and their co-conspirators planned to take advantage of the prosperous times and the unusually high wages being paid to incite a strike, foreseeing that it would be easy to raise large sums of money from the well-paid workers. Even the men that have been befooled will shortly realize the true incentive to the strike, and in the end good may come out of evil. LIBRARY BOOKS MUCH NEEDED There is no money available for Pubhic libarary books and it is a mat- ter of much concern to those who are interested in the wellfare of that worthy institution. The matter has been taken up by a numberof the ladies of the village who determined to test the pnblic sentiment on the subject in a substantial way. Librarian Mrs. Huntly aud Mrs. © C. McCarthy called upon a number of ladies to consult with them as to the advisability of circulating a list for voluntary subscriptions. They met with such surprising encouragement that they feel certainof raising a considerable sum of money, Whe amount already subscribed will add many bvoks to the library shelves. If the male population will take hold and do as well as have the ladies the problem will be temporarily solved and the usefulness of our Public library srently enhanced. THE ‘TOWN Is ALL TORN UP Grand Rapids is gradually resum- ing a more tidy appearance, but still the streets are in a delapidated con- dition, owing to the street and side- walk improvements’ being made. John Beckfelt’s store is up on stilts from which it is being lowered to the street grade. J. P. O’Donald has already placed his store building in line with the grade. The Bank saloon building, Hepfel’s, Mohr and Dibbert’s and the buildings west toe the Grand Rapids house are all being lowered. This work will require jsome time, but when completed Third street will be greatly improved, :
