Briggs is again able to be about town atter three-weeks’ retire- ment as the result of a fall upon an icy sidewalk on Third street. The injury was very painful and still causes him to walk with due deference to the bruised member. During the absence of County Treasure Kremer, George Meyers, Jr., is looking after the affairs of the office as deputy, and he handles the business in a manner that indicates his qualifications to be of an_ entirely satisfactory standard.

It was found that the trouble was in the garret of the house occupied by Mrs. Wilcox on Leland avenue between Seventh and Eighth streets. The fire started from a defective flue, but was extinguished before any damage was done, the department making prompt response to the call. J. D. Powers, the pioneer merchant of Holman, was a business visitor to Grand Rapids Thursday afternoon. Mr. Powers says the preliminary steps have been taken to organize Holman as a village, and the project will probably go through unless strenuously inter- fered with by outside influences. Busiuegs in that town, he says, 1s not rushing but fairly good. John J, Goar, district manager of the Eighth congressional district for the Modern Brotherhood of America, and his son, Jesse M., are in town for the purpose of renewing interest in the local order, which was originally organized here some time ago.

Vance, the sage of “White Moose” lodge on the Big Fork, came to town the other day witha collec- tion of furs that were good ‘to look at. He had the hide of one silver grey fox that was a beauty. It is valued at about $350. Inall he had about $1,500 worth of furs, which included otter, mink, beaver and martin. He took the lot to the St. Paul market. E. A.Egery, head push at the Herald-Review, has been transporting himself about with the assistance of a cane and crutches dunng the past two weeks, the result of a badly bruised toe which happened to bein the wrong place when a “form” of type fell to the floor. He is now sufficiently recovered ‘to assert his nghtsas a citizen and go tothe hotel for his meals. Secretary Bracken, of the state board of health, defends the new idea of lax quarantines, on the ground there is very little danger of well per- sons carrying the disease from a sick person, says an exchange. If that 1s so, there ought to be a let-up in the mad desire to vaccinate everybody that hves in the same county witha smallpox patient. Put the patient to bed and let other people alone. One of the neatest calenders issued by any Grand Rapics business house for 1908 is that of the First State bank. Itisa copy ofthe famous painting “The Coming Wave,” by George Howell Gay, It is printed on heavy card board, with the months of the year on minature leaved attached just below the picture. The calendar 1s one designed for house use, and is worthy of a conspicuous place m any home. It is reported from Hibbing that Walter Markham, son of the late J. M. Markham, and his cousin George Markham, are organizing a stock com- pany for the purpose of rebuilding the Miles hotel, which was destroyed by. fire last fall. It 1s their intention, if successful in securing the necessary capital, ot which they are now practi- cally assured, to erect a 100-room, fire-proof hotel, modern in every particular. Herman Cochran was an arrival in Grand Rapids the first of the week from Funkley. Minn., where he had been doing the chet act in a lumber camp for some time. Herm. gets homesick about two times a year and must visit with old friends hereabouts and journey to the parental home at Waubana lake for a few days visit early | came down this morning | with Pa and Ma Cochran. He has accepted a position as cook in Demp- sey & Dougherty’s camp out from Deer River. ~ Judge Huson performed , the ceremony that united Lewis Skok and Anna Williams in the bonds of matri- mony, on the 23rd. The contracting parties live in Bovey. About rz o’clock on the night of the marriage a police officer of Bovey invaded the room of the couple and placed them under arrest for alleged unlawful cohabitation. The hearing was post- poned until Monday, and in the meantime the groom has employed the seryices of Attorney ¥. F. Price to bring suit for damages against the village of Bovey. ~ Doc Ruttedge of the Bemidji Pioneer hands out the following in his issue of Wednesday: “T. H. Hennessey, the Grand Rapids plum- ber, spent a portion of yesterday in the city, having come down yesterday morning from Big Falls, where he had been with a companion to do a job of plumbing. ‘Tom’ Hennessey is one of the ‘old guard’ over at the ‘Rapids’, and he is known to every man, woman and child in Itasca county. He is an old friend of ye scribe, and also hes an acquaintance of long standing with Fred Brinkman, of the Brinkman Family Theater. Mr. Hennessey departed for his hom’ yesterday noon”. Frank Ressler received word from a friend in St. Paul this week announc ing the death of Rev. Father Valen- tine, formerly resident priest at St. Benedict’s hospital in Grand Rapius. The good old father had been in poor Lealth for some time past, and this, coupled with his advanced years, forced his retirement from active church work. At the time of his death he was at St. John’s University, near St, Cloud. The funeral was held jlast Sunday, Father Valentine resid- ed here for several years, during which time he gathered about him a large circle of friends whose hearts will sad- den when they learn of his passing to the great beyond. A two-column article in the Los Angeles ‘Limes gives an elabgrate de- scription of the magnificent ‘home of Hulett C. Merritt, now about com- pleted at Pasadena, Cal. Rare and costly wood, gathered from all quarters or the globe, enter into its construc- tion and interior finish. Mr. Merritt is now rated as a multi-millionaire,and his new home is said to be the finest in a section of the country where grand residences are not scarce. .Re- | ng president of the Itasca Mercantile company, which does business in Grand Rapids, he is still regarded as a semi-citizen of this town, and he will doubtless be prepared to entertain any callers from hereaway who per- chance might be sojourning in beauti- ful Pasadena. This invitation is not authorized by Hulett, but when we happen to be down that way we'll drop in and look over the dump. Grandmas Have a Party. A really delightful gathering of ladies was held at the home of Mrs. Mary Daub on Thursday afternoon of this week. The party was a birthday surprise to Mrs.. Margaret Ward, mother of Mrs. Daub. On Thursday, | January 23, 1908, Mrs. Ward reached her 76th mile post. For one of her age she is vigorous and active, always showing a lively interest in matters that enter into the affairs of her daily life. Mrs. Henry Logan and other ladies quietly arranged the pleasant surprise, there being about thirty present. A delicious luncheon was served and was partaken of with a relish that bespoke its excellance. The grandmothers present were guests of honor. They were Mrs. Margaret Ward, aged 76; Mrs. Ethel Huntley, aged 73; Mrs. Margaret McCormick, aged 81; Mrs. Annie Mooney, aged 67; Mrs. Clarisse Des- juardins, aged 75. The last named lady was the only one present who “could boast the distinction of being a great grandmother. Mrs. Ward was presented with a beautiful oak rock- ing chair. Oliver Engineers Arrive. Engineer C. A. Kimball of the Oliver Iron Mining corapany, arrived in Grand Rapids Wednesday with a force of assistants. There were seven in the party who registered at the Pokegama from Coleraine. Mr. Kim- ball is assigned to establish levels and lay out some work on properties in the vicinity of Grand Rapids, west and southwest. This is’ a strong in- dication that the Oliver company has passed the exploration stage in this immediate territory and are prepar- ing to begin actual mining. The sev- eral leases already taken by the com- pany and royalties now being paid is ample evidence that the ore is here in paying quantities and wil not long remain undeveloped. Commission Completes Work. The commission to appraise the land to be condemned by the govern- ment for reservoir purposes met in this city On Tuesday to finish’ up its labors. Judge Edson of Duluth, M. L. Toole of Cass Lake, and J. M. Elder mission, were present; also John Wade, the chief clerk in the United States enyineer’s office at St. Paul. The work of the commission is practically completed here, and this was probably their final meeting in Braiverd.—Brainerd Dispatch. \ Moving Picture Show. G. E. McIntosh and H. FB. Neveux have rented the building at the cor-; ner of. Second street and Kindred} avenue, known as the Svea hotel, and | during the coming week will open a’ first-class moving picture show.

Knox lumber business, has purchased 100 feet frontage gn the southeast cor- | ner ot Hoffman avenue and Sixth street on which he will erect a ten- room dwelling house as soon as the frost’ disappears next spring. ‘There, are nine in the family, séven children | besides Mr. and Mrs. Schaf, and there are no houses sufficiently large to ac- | commodate them to be rented in Grand Rapids.
