Sixtysive Applicants Balloted On — for lembership Last Monday Night. Perhaps the largest class of appli- cants ever voted on at one meeting by a fraternal order in Grand Rapids was considered and initated by Drum- beater Tribe No. 35, Improved Order of Redmen, last Monday night at STEPS TAKEN 10 REMOVE HIM Odd Fellows hall. Sixty-fiye appli- cations were considered. and of that number abont forty were present for / initiation into the secrets of the 4 3 order.

J. S. Konkle, editor of the Claricn-Leader of Superior; J. M. Eichten, Oscar Ahlgren, Alex Figemuller and G. B. Rosenberger, composed a team from a Superior tribe that was present to give the floor and ritual work of’ the initiation ceremonies and that they did tho work to perfection was the declara- tion of every member present. At the conclusion of the initiation and after listening toa number of° brief addresses for the good of the order supper was served in the dining room of the hall, which was served by Charles Kearney, aud which proved to be a veritable banquet. The Im- proved Order of Redmen is now one of the strongest fraternal orders in Grand Rapids and if we may judge from the enthediasm shown recently Aad AfTone, county commissioner of district No. 1 has sent his resigna- tion of the office to County Auditor Spang to take effect at once. The document which severs Mr. Tone’s official connection with the affairs of Itasca county is dated April 15, and was received by the auditor on the 25th. It is very brief and tothe point, Simply saying that he resigns. Ithas been claimed ever since the division of the county that Tone has been a resident of Koochiching county and has made his home at Northome, but nobody seemed to care a great deal whether Mr. Tone was on or off the board or whether he resided in thisor some other county. He was never considered a very vigorous or iofluen- tial legislator and a majority of the board paid very little attention to him. Last week, however, Mr. David Cochran wept up to Northome and secured four affidavits from as many residents of that village which deciar- ed that Tone had resided permanent- in tbe village of Northome for at least six months last past. In justice to Mr. Tone it might be here related that he owns a piece of real estate across the line in this county and on that techincality claimed a legal residence in Itasca. It has been re- ported that it is his intention to be- come a candidate for the office of county attorney in Koochiching county at the forthcoming election. The resignation will necessitate the appointment of a member of the board to fil] the vacancy thus caused in district No.1. The board of ap- pointment will consist of eighteen members, being the chairman of each organized town in the district and the president of each organized vil- lage therein. Of the latter therewre| ), the villages of Deer River and sigfork. The organized towns are:!

MEDRIC PEREAULT DIES IN MINNEPOL’S Former Resident of Grand Rapids Passes Away After Two Years’ Lingering Iliness Medric Perreault, formerly a resi- dent of Grand Rapids, died at Asbury hospital in Minneapolis on Tuesday, April 21st?) The remains were shipp- ed to this place and were laid to rest in the Catholic cemetery: beside the grave of his wife, who died a number of years ago. Mr. Perreault had been in yoor health during the past two years or more, suffering much from kidney and bladder trouble. He un- derwent several surgical operations at Duluth and Minneapolis, but re- ceived no permanent benetit. He went to Minneapulis the last time about two months ago,fout had passed the stage where medica! skill could be of any aid. The deceased had been a resident of Grand Rapids about five years prior to 1900, and was engaged in the meat business, painting and undertaking. From here he moved to Farley in Baltrami county where he remained until about two years ago when he engaged io business at Big Falls. He was born in the Province of Que- bec, Canada, on October 22, 1860, and was forty-eight years old at the time of his death. Three sons aud two daughters are left to mourn his loss. The daughters are Mrs. Edward Bennett and Isabelle, the latter aged about 14 years; the sons, Medric and | Joseph. who live at Big Falls, and Henry, the adopted son of Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Graffan of Grand Rapids. Mr. and Mrs. Bennett and Isabelle attended thefuneral. A brother from Duluth was also present. H. HUGHES & CO “THE POPULAR STORE” Granada Rapids, Minn.

[By A.J. McGuire, Superintendent North- east Experiment Farm, Grand Rapids] Most of the small fruits grow wild in northeastern Minnesvuta, which is the strongest evidence of their adapta- bility to cultivation in this section. The small fauits grown on the Ex- periment farm are the strawberry, ragpberry, currant, gooseberry, black- berry, buffalo berry, high bush cran- es and plum. Of these the straw- berry, raspberry and currant have proved most profitable in a cummnier- cial way, and the growing of these may be strongly recommended in this section of the'state from a busi- bess standpoint. For home use all the above fruit may be protitably grown.

Frequent cultivation is re- quired the first season. What blos- soms appear should be picked off, as fruiting the first year weakens the plant. Therunners stould be kept in the row where éhey will form new plants. It is recommended to cover the bed with straw or hay sometime during the winter when the ground is frozen and covered with snow. The pur- pose of this is to keep the plants from blossoming in the spring till the danger of frost is past. The straw should be remuved as soon as_ the frost is out of the ground, It may be left between the rows as a mulch. The best results oa the Ex- periment farm, however, have been obtained when the straw -has been removed entirely and the plants cul- tivated up to the time the berries are ready to pick. Several varieties of strawberries have done nearly equally well, among which are the Senator Dunlop, Splendid, Lovett, Clyde, Brandywine and Budwood. “Strawberries grown in northeastern Minnesota won practically all the prizes at the St. Louis exposition. Raspberries when set out are per- manent, and do not require resetting asdothestrawberry. ‘The canes, how- ever, die after fruiting, and haye to be cut out, and the young canes that come upevery year need to be laid down in the fall and covered with earth to insure against winter killing. They blossom later in the spring than the strawberry and are seldom endangered by frost. The red varie-. ties do begt in this section of the State and of these the London, King and Marlboro have giyen best results. Both the red and white varieties of currants have done especially well. They require po winter, protection and find as ready, a market as the strawberry or raspberry. The same may be said of the gooseberry though not commanding so good a market. The blackberry produces a very fine fruit. It requires the same care and protection as the raspberry. Its yield has not been oearly so well as the raspberry and its large and coarse growth of cane makes it disagreeable to handle. The buffalo berry grows intu a small tree. Aside from its fruit 15 is useful as hedge or for ornamental purposes. Its fruit has little com- mercial value, being used only for jelly, and for this use it is very high- ly favored. The highbush cranberry is still in an experimental stage as to its com- mercial value. It grows well. Nearly all the yarieties of plums recommended for Minnesota have been grown and many of them have done very well, among which are the Cheeney, Wolf, Weaver and New Ulm. The Aitkin plum which is frequently spoken of has»heen found Grattan, Lake Jessie, Moose Park, Marcell, Nore, Popple. Third River, Sand Lake asd Writ. According to law itis the duty of the county auditor to fix a date and call together the appointing board to name a commissioner to fill the va- cancv, and accordingly Auditor Spang has named May 12th, 1908, as the day| and 3 o’clock in the afternoon as the time and the Auditor's office in Grand Rapids as the place where such meet- ing will be held. He has issued official notices to each of the town- ship chairman and to the two village presidents to report for duty’ accord- ing to the above schedule. The appointment will] be until a successor is elected and qualified, and hence the oppointee. will hold office until next January. It is quite evident that Mr. Tone was prepared to resign as soon as ac- tion was taken to remove him, recog- nizing the legal-fact that he has been an usurper of the office ever since the county was divided. The dating of his resignation April 15 and not mailing it until April 24. was only a ruse to make it appear that Mr. Cochran’s action had nothing what- ever to do with his decision to with draw from the legislative body of Itasca county. When he found that measures were being employed to re- move him he concluded it. was about time to sidestep the approching dan- ger. The offence of which he is al- leged to be guilty is a very serious one if prosecuted. \ More Deer River Trouble. Police officers Hibbard and Culp of Deer River’arrested John Jones and bis two bartenders last Thursday fight on an alleged violation of the ordinance. The three were jailed ‘and now Jones has caused the arrest of the officers and will bring action against the village for malicious pros- ecution and malignant interference with his business and liberty. | Lace Curtains | Our line is largest because our sales | arelargest.

About fifty per cent of the trees have winter killed, but those surviving promise to bear fruit. All the standard varieties were used, but no one thus far has proved hard- ier than the rest. The soil on which they are grown is not the best for ap- ple trees, being sumewhat sandy. A clay soil is best and a farmer having | clay soil favorably located for an or- chard has a much greater assurance of success, Apples are being gruwn very suc- cessfully in certain sections uf north- | eastern Minnesota, and it is not evi- dent that we are too far north. It is recommended, however, that in pro- viding home grown fruit, to invest in apple trees only in an experimental way. A few trees is ample to start with. The best investment is in small fruits that are sure, and for home use fully as desirable as the apple. The apple trees recommended as | most hardy for this section of the .state are the Duchess, Hibernal, Charlamotf, Patten’s Greening and Okabena. ? In raising all kinds of fruit there is one rule we have found that sof importance ip this section of the state, and that isto cultivate. Grass grows with such vigor and persistence that it will take possession of the round even against plum trees. ultivation is important especially. during the early life of the plant, and at all times for the smaller fruits. -We stop the press and kill a ligal notice to make room for the an- nouncement that James H.

LATHROP LANDED IN COUNTY JAIL Charged With Grand Larceny in First Degree and Released on Bail HE APPROPRIATED SEVEN HUNDRED Given a Check for $700 to Deposit by Mrs. Lander Larson in Deer River Bank He Goes to Du- luth and Gets the ‘Cash. Luther Lathrop of Big Fork, a for- mer bartender for M. McAlpine in Grand Rapids, has been haying seri- ous trouble during the past week. After being in jail about four days he succeeded in getting bonds in the the sum of of $500 and Monday even- ing was released from custody until the grand jury convenes next June, when a charge of grand larceny in the first degree will be investigated by that body. The allegations are made that on March 28th Lathrop was given a check on the bank of Kakoto, Minn., drawn by Samuel Wojcuchowski and indorsed to Lan- der Larson who in turn indorsed it to his wife, Maggie Larson. Lathrop was going to Deer River from Big Fork and Mrs. Larson intrusted him with the check for deposit in her name in the First State bank. La- ‘throp presented the check at the Deer River bank, but wanted the cash for it. Cashier Moran said he would have to take two or three days in which to investigate the validity of the check before he could pay it. This was not satisfactory to Lathrop and he went to Duluth where he suc- ceeded in getting thé check cashed. Then he got married and in a few days returned to Grand Rapids where he deposited $600 in the First Na~- tionrl bank in his own name, taking a certificate of deposit from the cash- jer. It seems that Mrs. Larson learned that the seven hundred dol- lars was not on deposit in Deer River to her credit and sheand her husband came to Grand Rapids to investigate. The arrest of Lathrop followed. He had drawn $100 of the $600 deposited here and had in his possession a cash- ier’s deposit check for $500, and some change. The check is now in the possession of Sherifi Hoolihan. Will Meet Him in New York. Louis Falloco, who stole $700 from Mrs. James Mora at Culeraine a couple of weeks ago, will probably be picked up by the New York police, as full particulars have been sent to the authorities there. Falluco bad a ticket purchased on the Cunard line for Italy, and his boat scheduled to sailon the 31st inst. Since writing the foregoing the local authorities have been advised that Faloco traded his steamship ticket in New York for one over anuther, line and sailed for Naples, Italy,, tive days earlier than scheduled. Myron H. McCord Dead. Word was received yesterday by W. C. Gilbert of the death of Myron H. McCord at Phoenix, Arizona. The deceased was father of Mrs. W. C. Gilbert. A news dispatched from Phoenix printed in today’s paper says: “Col. Mvron H, McCord, collector of customes of Nogales, died here yester- day of Bright's disease, aged 67 years. Mr. McCord, who was a native of Pennsylvania, was a veteran of the Civil war. He also served in congress from Wisconsin. He came to Phoenix in the ’90s, since which time he has figured conspicuously in Arizona poli- tics.
