VoL. XV.—No, 45. 1 COMA ATONE | RESIGNS OFFICE | The Member From Koochiching \ Finally Decides to Withdraw. STEPS TAKEN TO REMOVE HIM / We Affidavits Procured by Attorney! Cochran to Prove Tone Resident of Koochiching County and y the Resignation Follows. Aad AfTone, county commissioner of district No. 1 has sent his resigna- 3 tion of the office to County Auditor MI Spang to take effect at once. The ; document which severs Mr. Tone’s official connection with the affairs of i Itasca county is dated April 15, and i 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 pA 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 influen- tial legislator and a majority of the ry board paid very little attention to } him. Last week, however, Mr. David Cochran wept up to Northome and a secured four affidavits from as many residents of that village which declar- i) ed that Tone had resided permanent- in the village of Northome for at least six months last past. Injustice to Mr. Tone it might be bere ‘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 Keochiching county at the forthcoming election. The resignation will necessitate the appointment of a member of the board to fill 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- e therein. Of the latter theréwre o, the villages of Deer River and Bigfork. The organized towns are: Alvywood, Ardenburst, Arbo, Bass Lake, Bigfork, Balsam, Deer River, Grattan, Lake Jessie, Moose Park, Marcell, Nore, Popple, Third River, Sand Lake aed 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 j 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. j la ship to the order for two or three ORDER OF REDMEN INITIATE BI BIG CLASS Sixty-five Appcants | Ballted 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 Odd Fellows hall. Sixty-fiye appli- cations were considered. and of that number abont forty were present for initiation into the secrets of the order. Organizer Joseph Herbst of Brainerd had heen soliciting member- weeks and reviving interest among old members and the result of bis ef- forts were apparent at the Monday night meeting. J. S. Konkle, editor of the Claricn-Leader of Superior; J. M. Eichten, Oscar Ablgren, 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 to a 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 Hapidtenn if we may judge from the enthfisiasm shown recently it will long continue to hold its prom- inent place in this community.

Mr. Perreault had been in ,oor health during the past two years or more, suffering much from kidney and bladder trouble.

MOST VARIETIES GROW WILD HERE. = From a Profit Taking Standpoint Strawberries, Raspberries and Currants are the Favorites In This Section. [By A.J, McGuire, Su east Experiment Farm, rintendent North- rand Rapids] Most of the small fruits grow wild io northeastern Minnesota, 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, raSpberry, currant, gooseberry, black- berry, buffalo berry, high bush cran- +s hd and plum. Of these the straw- befry, raspberry and currant have proved most profitable in a cumnier- cial way, and the growing of these may be strongly recommended in this section of the’state from a busi- bess stapdpoint. For home use all the above fruit may be profitably grown.

Frequent cultivation is r quired the first season. What blos- soms appear should be picked off, as fruiting the lirst year weakens the plant. Therunners should 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 on 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 up every 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. 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 vo 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 uearly 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 1p 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 hasyheen found unsatisfactory. It is the earliest in maturing, but a poor bearer and not hardy. The first apple orchard set out was put on a sandy svil and proved a fail- ure. A second orchard was planted in a more favorable soil three years ayo, butas yetis only in an experi- mental stage. 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 somewhat 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 of north- eastern Minnesota, and itis mot 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.

In raising all kinds of fruit there is one rule we have found that is of importance ip this section of the state, and that isto cultivate.

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 bondsin 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 io his own name, taking a certificate of deposit from the cash- ier. 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. Falloco had a ticket purchased on the Cunard line for Italy, and his boat scheduled to sail on the 3lst inst. Since writing the foregoing the local authorities have been advised that Faloco traded his steamship ticket in New York for one over another, line and sailed for Naples, Italy,, five days earlier than scheduled.
