It will result in competion that will make prices never before heard of in the industry. Mr. Reimo says that another in- dustry that will ultimately be of great importance in this part of Minnesota is the manufacture of excelsior,which is largely usedin the making of matresses. Poplar is the kind of timber now most valuable for excelsior making Tron Ore Returns May Cause a Split in the State Board of Equalization and as there is an inexhaustable sup- ply of good timber of that kind in this section, Mr. Reimo believes that it will be but a short time until poplar will be one of the most valu- able species of timber.

The committee on revision of the premium list was careful to profit by past experiences, and having received $500 from the county to aid them this year, the premiums are much higher and more of them. The officers of the association have caused a general circulation of the Pamphlets containing the prizes of- fered. Secretary J. S. Gole will be pleased to forward copies to any one making application for them. It is the aim of the association to interest farmers and business men outside of Grand Rapids and in dis- tant sections of the country toattend the fair. It is maintained for the benefit of the whole county and it is desirable that representations be as general as possible. The fair will be held on the new tair grounds at the east end of Ice igke, north-of town. The beautiful new agricultural building will be in readiness and also the stock buildings, so that there will be comfortable quarters for all of the animals brought in. There will be stalls for the horses and cattle and pens fur the pigs and sheep, With favorable weather the ufficers, directors, farmers and citizens in general are cunfident that the fair next week will cap the climax.

THE VALUE OF PULPWOOD That the whule United States must s0on look to northern Minnesota for the raw material for the making of priot paper was empbasized last week by the visit ofa party of paper mill men, headed by J. J. Reimo, of Rhinelander, Wis., to the northern part of the state, looking for a supply of spruce ‘sufficient to warrant the | establishment of a line of paper and | pulp mills along the international boundary. The party went from Ely to International Falls and the men are now looking over the spruce for- ests near there on both sidesof the Rainy river. About ninety per cent of the news- papers of the country are printed on paper made ofspruce, the main source of supply having beenin the New England states. The eastern spruce is practically exhaugted and the sup- ply in Wisconsin has become depleted to such an extent that the mills are now looking to this state for their spruce. A few year ago the only valuable timber land in this section was that forested with white pine, but now the owner ofa quarter sec- tion of spruce land has a more val- uable piece of property than many of the pine claims that have been picked up over this section. The exhausting of the spruce wood in Maine, Wisconsin and other sec- tions where it has been the handiest has compelled the paper mill men to turn their attention to new fields, and the opening up of the great bodies of the timber in this section \py the coming of the railroads is | to offer up sewards.” | tances. little trouble. When sawed into cord wood lengths it is ready for delivery.—Cloguet Pine Knot. STATE DRAINAGE COMMISSION HERE The members of the state drainage commission reached here early Thurs- day morning and remained here near- ly all day investigating this vicinity. In the party were: State Auditor S. C. Iverson; Secretary of State Julius Schmahl; Frank A. Day, personal representative of Governor Jobnson; George A. Ralph, engineer of drain- age commission, George W. Welch, ‘State imigration inspectur and Hon: G.

DEMISE OF WILLIAM GREY Suddenly, without warning Wm. Grey was called to the great beyond last Sunday. He died at Duluth, and was taken to Deer River, his home. From there he was brought to Grand Rapids for interment by the Masonic and Redmen lodges. He wasa mem- ber of Masonic lodge No. 208. He was also a member of the B. O. E. of Grand Rapids. Wm. Grey was~ very popular throughout this section, having hosts of friends in Deer River and the Rapids. He was a hail fellow well met, and his Joss is.mourned not only by his imme family, but by friends and He is survered by and one child. numberless a widow DYNAMITE UNDER BUILDING The Duluth News Tribune of the 21st reports the following: “That a dastardly attempt was made to blow up the office of the La- Rue mine here, in which the records and hooks of the company are kept and where the bookkeeper sleeps was discovered yesterday, when the books keeper in superintending some repairs came across, twelve sticks of dyna- mite to which was attached a piece of partly burned fuse, lying under the building. The fuse had burned to within eight feet of the explosive, lt the dynamite had gone off during the night the bookkeeper would have been killed beyoned a doubt and the building wrecked. The discovery of this indisputable evidence of the devilish work of some human fiends who would not stop at taking life to accomplish their purpose has aroused the community, following so closely on the attempts made at’ Virginia to blow up a boarding house, where some miners were liying. The authorities are working on the case and have several lines out that-may prove good ones and land the villians Speaking of acquain-| By J. N. Gaynor Precipitated The Trouble—Whole Thing In the Air. Consideration of the iron mine valuations fixed by the state tax commission threatens to breed dis- sension in the state board of equaliza- tion. There was an acrimonious dis- cussion Wednesday which may result in the resignation of at least one if not more members. Just before the noon hour the board was visited by the tax commis- sion in compliance with the resolu- tion of.Jast week calling for certain data and information relating to mine values in its possesion. Chair- man McVey, of the commission, added orally a statement explaining the methods used in the investiga tion and the conclusions arrived at. The custom in such cases is to refer the matter to the proper com- mittee, that of real estate, but J. N. Gaynor, of Litchfield. at the conclu- sion of the commission’s visit, moved that it be referred to the board, sit- ting asa committee of the whole. hen his motion was seconded, he asked to have read an article appear- ing inthe Iron Age. It mentioned the valuation placed on the iron pro- perties by the commission, the desire of some of the members of the equal- ization board to increase the figures, butconcluded with the statement that the matter would go to the realestate committee, which would without doubt recommend a cut. Mr. Gaynor perhaps did not intend to place the construction on’ the article im the way it was taken by some of the members. Almost in an instant he was challenged by W. A. Hardenburgh, of St. Paul, who, with- out mincing any words, tendered his resignation as a member of the coms mittee to the board, There was achurous of ‘‘no” from ‘the members, but Mr. Hardenburgh insisted, until Thomas Meighan poured oil on the troubled water by deciding it be not accepted. In answer, Mr. Hardenburgh said the insinuation hurt, especially when it }came from a new member like Mr. Gaynor. He thought his action a |reflection and uncalled for. Adjournment followed with the | whole thing in the air and an effort |on the part of some of the members | to gei Mr. Gaynor and Mr. Harden- berg together, but the attempt at | pea availed little. Mr. Gaynor insisted that he had intended no re- !flection and Mr. Hardenberg was s sure that an injustice had | Finally the matter culminated | with a threat on the part of Mr. Gay- nor that he would resign from the board if his motives were to be mis- construed. Members tried to dis- uade him from this step, and when the gathering broke up for luncheon, he was still of that mind.—St. Paul Dispatck. ATTRACTION COMING Without doubt the leading attrac- tion to visit Grand Rapids this season is the popular and talented actress, Ruth Craven, supported by her tine company in that most famous play of English life, ‘Dora Thorue.’’ Miss Craven is conceded by the press and puplic of every city in which she has appeared to be the most finished artist ever appearing upon their stage. Miss Craven has been given a suporting company this season seldom seen outside the larger cities, whose intelligent rendering of the parts in the penitentiary.
