The land in question is needed by the government in order to carry out certain repairs and improvements to Uhe various upper river dams and reservoirs and to provide the neces- sarysoverflow lands needed. for the operation of the resevoirs. Several huncred acres altogether are involved in the condemnation preceedings.— Duluth Herald. Itasca at the Fair. The following was taken from the St/ Paul Dispatch of Wednesday. “Ttasca county, which advertises that it is the greatest clover country in the world, has a most creditable exhibit. It shows fifty varieties of grasses and forage plants and some alfalfa which is the second cutting of Two Dollars a Year. IRON UNDERLIES THE POOR FARM The discovery of iron under the Itasca county poor farm. and the dea} just closed between the county com- missioners and a company of Grand Rapids men for working the mine on aroyalty basis, has created quite a flurry local mining circles and arous- ed a deep interest in the future possibilities of this section. The county commissioners have signed the papers, granting the right to extract the iron ore under the poor farm, and work developing the pro- perty will proceed at once. John Rellis and Ernest Remer, rep- resenting a company of Grand Rap- ids men, are the grantees. By the contract the price to be paid is 25 cents for each ton of ore mined from the 160 acres of four government sub- divisions. Under the terms of the lease not less than 10,000 tons are to be taken from each subdivision, and the cumpany is bound to begin opera- tions within ninety days from the date of the lease. After the first two years 20,000 tons must be pro- duced from each forty. The time of the lease is unlimited. The com- pany is boundin the sum of $10,000 to fulfill its part of the contract. The action was made by the unanimous vote of the board. the season. There are thirty-six varieties of potatoes and eighty-five of stock and culinary vegetables. Twenty-five varieties of grains are shown. Samples of strawberries, gouseberries, blackberries, etc., are shown in jars, and there are some plums which were plucked green from the trees. A. M. Sisler and Prof. A, J. McGuire, superintendent of the state experimental station at Grand Rapids, are in charge. A departure from the regular county exhibits an iron ore dis- play, which is shown in the: Itasca county bouth. The mines are opep— ing uprapidly, itis said, and the exhibitors point to the fact that they are getting the peopleinto the coun- try to whom the truck farmers may offer their products, without having to go to any distant market.” Are Happely Married.

The play contains an interesting and intelligible plot, but itis not allowed to interfere with the fun, which is said to bein abundance. During therun of the play some startling scenes and situations are seen, the principal of which is said to pe the saw-mile, in the third act, shown iv a complete operation, cutt- ing up real timber. The saw used is 1 lhe genuine article, the same as usually seen in large country saw- mills. Anexcellent band and fine Itis with pleasure that we an- nounce to our readers the weding ceremony tbat: united Miss Huldah A. Jerney, of North Branch, Minne- sota, and Mr. Edward Hainke of, this city, at the Presbyterian church, by Rev, Silloway of the M. E. church, on Wednesday, Aug. 28, at 2:30 o’clock. The weeding was a quite one, only afew intimate friends of the contracting parties being present. Miss Laura Rassmussen of Grand Rapids officiated as bridesmaid, and | and Herbert G. Hainke fo Milwau- kee, a brother of the groom, was best man. After the ceremony a wedding luoch was served at the Bovey hotel. The bride is a reflued young lady, who has many friends in Grand Rapids, where she is well known. The groom has been a residence of Bovey the past year, but has been a residend of this scountry at Split- hand, where he hasa farm, for the last ten years. He has a acquaintance in this country, and is very popular.—Itasca Iron News. New Stone and Timber Ruling. According to a new ruling just handed down by the commissioner of the United States land office at Washington, applicants for stone and timber claims must hereafter make a second visit and examination of the land before making final proof. This will entail some extra expense upon the. applicant and will in nowise alter the result. Heretofore it has only been considered necessary for the applicant for a stone and timber wide |* claim to visit and make thorough ex. amination of the land just before he makes the original application. An affidavit signed by himself and his witnesses is then presented at the lucal office. Under the new ruling it would seem that a second examina- tion of the land by the applicant and his witness will be necessary, as un— der it the department asks foran affidavit at the time the tinal proof is made showing that the applicant and his witnesses have visited the land on the date or avout the date that the proof is made.

A certain class of newspaper men assert that the farmer is the most in- dependent man on earth, and that he has nothing to do but enjoy life. ‘Then when winter comes and the blizzard’s on the wing he toasts his feet in the oven and reads the local newspapers and the vnly thing that disturbs him is a call three times a |day to a banquet of mince pies and other luxuries. It is a mistake. The industrious farmer begins work long before the sun thinks of getting jup. With his soul shrouded in gloom he proceeds to build a fire and soften his boots with a sledge hammer. He then takes a lantern and shovels his way to the barn and feeds the hogs. It is then time to feed the newly ar- rived calf, which seems to delight in butting a pail of milk over the tiller of the soil until he needs to be stamp- ed to pass fora package of olemar- garine. Hecrawls through a barb- wire fence and digs the hay out of the snow, feeds the cows, cleans the stable, gathers up the frozen chicks, chases a stray pig worth 25c for four miles and does not catch it, doctors a sick horse, freezes his fingers, gets kicked by a one-eyed mule, and when the gloming comes and quietness brooks over, all the earth he has a single hour to meditate and wonder how he will pay his taxes.—Ex. A WESTERN WED- DING WRITE-UP The wedding editor in describing the handsome dress of the bride and the popularity of the groom, general ly accompanies his ‘send off with nictures of the newly launched. The editpr of a western paper bas taken a new departure in waiting up festivals of dress parade, rice throwing and congratulations of friends. The scribe ys ofa recent celebration in his district: “Miss Jennie Jones and Bob Henry were married at the Jones Mansion last night. ‘lhe bride is the daughter of our constable, Jones, who made a good officer, and will un- doubtedly be re-elected next spring. he offers a fine horse for sale in anoth- er column. The groom runs a grocery store on main street, andis a good patron of our advertising columns, and has a good line of bargains all this week. Ali the summer he paid two cents more for butter than any store in town. The happy couple left ou the afternoon train for Mill- waukee to visit the bride’s uncle, who is reported to have lots of money and Bright’s disease—Bob certainly has an eye for business. The editor, the office staff, including the official imp, have received invitations to at- tend the coming bome banquet of the Jones-Henry combination.” Important Notice to Parents.
