ITASCA COUNTY FAIR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, OC- ‘i TOBER 4th AND 5th. EXHIBIT AT THE STATE FAIR GOOD Farmers Making Great Prepara- tions.—Crops Are the Finest. ‘“ —New Buildings. The Itasca county fair to be held Oct 4 and 5 promises to be the vest in the history of the association. The county commissioners voted $500 to the premium fund, which will enable the association to increase the pre- miums on all exhibits. The new building will also add interest to the fair. When complete it will probable be the finest county fair building in the spate, the build- ing will provide compartments for agriculture, horticulture, dairy and household. A Live Stock building will also be put up so that all the stock brougbt in will have comfortable quarters. Watch for the premium list that will be out next week. There will be prizes for every creditable farm pro- duct brought in. The prizesin the household department and for ‘the school children will be worth whiie. | Let us give the Itasca county fair a start this -fall toward one of the greatest 1n the state. Itasca county made its best show- ing this year at the fair. It was first in threshed grain, tame grasses, po- tatoes and stock roots. The only part of the exhibit that did not make a creditable showing was the fresh fruit exhibit. It was too early in the'season for the plum ¢rop, and the apple orchards of Itasca county are not sufficiently developed yet for an apple exhibit. Winning first prize however, in the most important farm *products.is a strong indusement for Itasca county agricultur. Much of the exhibit shown at the state fair will bean exhibit at the j county fair Oct. 4 and 5. BOVEY ORIENTAL GETS STRONG ARM Bovey has had its attack upon an | Oriental which, while if will not} attain the importance of an interna- tional affair, will furnish cause for worry for three young men who are} charged with holding ep and robbing a slant-eyed citizen of the Flowery Kingdom. They have been arrested, The Chinaman running the Boston Cafe claims that about midnight Monday Alfred Anderson, John Riley and Ruby Mosher, three young men Coleraine, gaye him the strong-arm to the tune of Johu says the three came while business was him about the arms i ip likea vise while the ott tivo. went through his pockets taking the -de receipts. Then they fled toward| Coleraine where they were subse- | quently captured. They pleaded not uilty when arraigned for a prelimin- sary hearing and were hustled off to | at this place. In boldness the robbery was one of the nerviest pulled off in this section ina long time and the authorities claim to have a clear case against the ac cused. Andersun is about 25 while the other two are barely 20. The three young men were return- ed to Bovey yesterday where they had a hearing before a justice of the peace. They pleaded guilty and were fined $45 each. These chabs were propér subjects for grand jury consideration. Iron Property Valuations $186, 752, 405. The state tax commission Wednes— day completed its figures on the com- mission’s* valuation of iron proper- ' ties. The valuations total exactly 3186,- 752,406, anda total tonnage of iron ore in all properties listed of 1,134 The assessment of last year on these same properties was . approxi- mately $70,000,000.

At the earliset, it will ea couple of days before they will be printed and corrected ready for presentation tothe state board of equalization. iS admitted to the first* grade) tons. a COUNTY FARM IS The Duluth News Tribune of Sep- tember 12 contained the following: T. J. Downs, Einar Heidable and M. C. Tifft, commissioners appointed by Gov. J. A. Johnson to appraise the property of Itusca and Koochiching counties, were to have left for Grand Rapids this evening to begin their work, but business duties of one of the commission have caused the Start to be postponed one week. The property isto be appraised so thata fair division may be had be tween the county of Itasca and the bnew county of Koochiching. The bone of contention seems to be the {Itasca county poor farm, on which valuable iron ore is said to be locat- ed. YOUNG ROOSEVELT WAS NOT HUNTING A. G. Rutledge, of Bemidji’ deputy state game warden, was in the village Monday having come over from Coleraine, where he had been sent by the state game and fish commission to investigate the report that Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., son of President Roosevelt, had been hunt- ing in the vicinity of Coleraine dur- ing the past three days, and was violating the state game laws and that he had not taken out any non-resident license. Mr. Rutledge said he had fully investigated the report and was cer- tain that the published statement that the young man had been hunt- ing without a license was untrue. HOMESTEADER CAN LEAVE CLAIM Register L. D. McGahan of the Minot land office has just received word from land office at Washington of the passage of aruling which will permit homesteaders who have made application for making tinal proof to leave their claims until the time for making final proof, as fixed by the land office. 4 * ‘The new ruling, which was made as aresult of a letter from “Register McGahan, setting forth the condition of affairs, provided that by filing an affidavit stating the facts as to resi- dence and improvements, and the reason by claimants desiring to leave their claims, homesteaders may leave without their absence interfering with making Unal proot. Isers 8 Wasers 7. A small crowd bappened to the ball srounds Sunday and lingered thro 14] innings of near ball playing. It was the best exhibition of the game shown by the Isers to date and the worst that the old timers would own to ever being mixed up with. As a ball game it. was interesting to a degree as the old timers showed unexpected ginger and as the game | showed faint sigms of] the dim past used a} ability to score and stop the strong feature, and the f that about every mem- bers of the old settlers nine hada few progressed i ig in bay bat. ‘Their was \friends there to help him do the exclusion of all excitement right thing to the others kept a ripple of moving The cubs played agood game for them at managed to get enough runs to keep tied or anead and finally woo io the 14th with the bases full of old timers. Chas. Doran and Logas at 3rd and short surprised everybody with their accurate fielding and the way Doran laced the ball was a caution. Romans pitched nicely and had the edge on his oppenent and with alittle better support would have won hands down. Tuel was very effective in the first part of the game but as the old ones got warmed up they proceeded to solve his delivery andrun the game into extra innings. Anything longer than a single was an impossi- bility for the old onesas after run— ning a base they had tostop and mend their bellows. The star performer of either team Was manager Jones of the cubs who made several hair raising stops and boots of decisions and had the old timers talking the game over with him on aboutevery close play. After his diplomatic move in moving the third bag in after Jim Doran laced a grass cutter square over the center was a feature and after that the old pow would josh him whether be was good or bad. As an umpire Manager Joues can cer n NEEERTIVE PARE OFFICE OF VILLAGE PRESIDFNT HARD TO FILL. W. P. NESBITT REFUSES JOB Council Elects Mr. Nesbitt But He Declines the Distinguished Honor. While the municipal affairs of Grand Rapids are proceeding along satisfactory lines there seems to bea scarcity of candidates for the office of president of the councii. This con- dition is easily accounted for. There seems to be a fewpeople resident here who are determined to get into com- munication with the chief executive of the state and the attorney general. These individuals have little else to do, and it isno trouble for them to write letters to the state- authorities charging that the laws relating to the sale of liquor are not enforced and that the cause thereof is the failure of the village president to do his duty as chief executive of the municipality. In reply to the com- plaints sent in the county and village authorities are communicated with and dire threats are made as to the awful consequences that will surely follow any neglect on the part of those who are charged with the en- forcement of the aforesaid liquor laws. The situation here is fully un- !derstood by the people as well as the local officials, and the latter do not propose to putin their time writing explanations to St. Paul for the sat- isfaction of a few fanatics who re- | present nothing but diseased imagin-— ations and ambitions tu make them selves conspicuous and gain some notoriety through miserpresentation. It was this state of affairs that caused President Powers to become disgusted with trying to serve the jpublic. He resigned, since which time Alderman Keo Leroux has acted as president pro tem. He has been annoyed in the same manner and re- fuses to act longer. At a recent meet- ing W. P. Nisbett was duly elected, but he foresees the troubles coming and declines the honor, Business men do not wish to come in contact with irresponsibles, whose only aim in life is to raise themselves to notoriety by traducing the com- munity in which they live. If the attorney general and gover- nor knew the conditions that prevail bere they would pay no more atten- tion to the complaints sent in relating to local liquor traffic than they would to the moathings of an anarchist, It is to be regretted that Mr. Nis- bett could not. be induced to accept the office of village president. He is one of Grand Rapids’ prominent business men. and a gentleman of cellent judgment—one who ine way would ma) n ide High Schoo! Foot e Ball Team. Indications point to high schoo! having an ball team this fall. Great interest is already taken in yetting togethe aggregation. Many of players are at schovl again this year and some excellent material is at hand. The boys have been practising the past week every evening and before the end of the coming week will get down to good hard practice. being cra strong last season’s Cohasset Hardwood Company. The promoters of the mill which is being put in at Cohasset are busy, making arrangements for the pros- ecution of the work of erecting their mill and factory. Mr. G. G. Wood of Foley arrived in the city Thursday, and went to Cohasset with Mr. Buck of Pokegama lake, and they are pre- paring to get the work of building underway. They already have men clearing the site of the proposed buildings, and are making arrange= ments for their timber. The com- paby expects to have the mill ready for operation this fall. Articles of incorporation of- the company, which is to be be known as the Cohasset Hardware Manufactur- ing company, have been filed and are being published, in other colums of the Herald-Reyiew. * £ P tainly go some.
