Christmas day was quietly and uni- versally observed in the Rapids. business places were nearly all closed, and the day given up to home reunions and social intercourse. The Star-Gazette of Barnum, comes to us this week with a Teddy bear cover in colors. One by one the tra- ditions of childhood are being wiped out by the giant wheels of progress. The able discriminating editor of the Walker Pilot says: “Lets have The| Village Council Proceedings — Official | Publication. } Grand Rapids, Minn., Dec. 12, 1907. | A meeting of the village council; was held at the council room and | Trustees Bossard and Root and Re-! corder Yancey responded to roli call. On motion made and carried A. C. Bossard was appointed as President pro tem. Minutes of the preyious! meeting were read and approved. The report of the village treasurer was read and ordered to be placed on file. Notices from the county auditor were received stating that the village treasurer had been paid thesum of $3601.61, being the amount due the village for the November apportion- ment of taxes, and $278.40, being the amount due the village from the absolute sale apportionment of taxes. The matter of assessments of benefits caused by the construction of sidewalks fronting various property in the village came on for hearing pursuant to due notice served, and the council having beard all the evidence adduced, the following resolution was presented and unani- mously adopted, Resolution assessing sidewalk bene- village of Grand Rapids. Minnesota. did heretofore and on the 13th day of May 1907, andon the 20th day of the parcel post system. Give the government a chance to ‘deliver the goods’.’’” So say all who have given the matter a‘careful investigation. The people want and will have it.—Brain- erd Arena. Last Saturday is supposed to be the the shortest day of the year and from that time on the sun 1s expected to get a hump and roll out earlier in the morning. The old saying that “when the days begin to lengthen the cold begins to strengthen,” seems to be a true one as we have had way below since that date. Arthur O’Leary died at St. Mary’s hospital in Dvluth at ten o’clock Christmas morning. Mr. O’Leary was 57 years of age and has resided in Grand Rapids for the past thirteen years. He leaves a widow and other relatives to mourn his death. The funeral was held Saturday morning from the family residence. The announcement is made that L. G. Prendergast of Bemidji, who was a candidate for heutenant governor on the ticket with Governor Johnson at the last election, has been appointed as custodian of the old capitol build- ing to succeed Charles Trowbridge. He will assume the duties of his new position Jan. 1. Will Nisbett leaves tonight for his annual pilgrimage among the boys in the woods, with his dog team and merchandise. Will is known from the confines of Itasca county to the Cana- dian border and his coming is looked for as one of the regular events of the winter’s campaign. The lumberjacks all know him, and he 1s one of the boys during his stay with them and always welcome. The selection of Judge W. S. Mc- Clenahan, of Brainerd, judge of the Fifteenth judicial district, as one ot the judges to try the disbarment case against F, B, Hart, the Minneapolis attorney who recently attacked the Supreme Court, is a deserved compli- ment to the legal and judicial ability of Judge McClenahan who 1s recong- nized as an able and impartial occup- ant of the bench. Postmaster McVicar and his _assis- tants are glad that Christmas is over. Never before has there been such a volume of business poured through the postoffice as that of this year. It has taken long hours to clear the decks of packages and parcels and the unusual number of registered packages has largely increased the work. The express company also came in for its share but the larger burdea fell on Uncle Sam’s delivery cart. Some of the business men of Duluth are objecting to the placing on street corners of tin-can receptacles for waste paper because it will obstruct the view of the lake. A good view of the lake is a great asset with the cliff-dwellers. —Aitken Republican. There are a few other things that obstruct a view of the lake thana small waste paper can. For instance the Torry building and several miles of billboards.

W.C. YANCEY, Recorder, County Attorney Alfred L. ‘Thwing has filed his annual report with the attorney general for the year 1907. There were 141 criminal cases of which 56 were in district court.

The amount collected in fines during the year was $2,500. From the above it will be seen that the district attorney has had a busy year agd can well be proud of the record he has made.

The preliminary examination of John Botto and wife for the dynamit- ing of the house in which several peo- is | ple were killed near Bovey, has been in progress before Justice Huson this week and it is hardly probable it will be completed before we go to press, Many witnesses have been examined through an interpreter and consumes much time of the court. The testi- mony so far has been mainly confined to identification of photographs of the premises and is in the nature of cir- cumstantial all the way through, The fact that a fued existed on the part of the Botto’s anc some of the people in the cabin is supposed to have instigat- ed the ceed.
