There is a distant dignity conuect- ed with the office of district judge which is not only expected of the one occupying the bench but of those waging a campaign for this highly re- spected position. In this one partic- alar the office will lose none of its lignity through the candidacies of Messr. Thwing and Wright.—Walker Pilot. Aifred L. Thwing, a prominent at- terney of Grand Rapids, was in town last Tuesday. Mr. Thwing is a can- didate forthe Republican nomination for district judge of the Fifteenth district and was here for the purpose of getting acquainted. He is now filling the office of county attorney of Itasca county.—Aitkin Independent. —_— Fie Brother Ingersoll. Now that the fishing season las een ushered in it will not be neces- sary to ‘make a sneak” with your outfit unless you are after bass, as they are not legal prey until May {0th.—Brainerd Dispatch. a ee Why So Pessimistic? A man rarely if ever, gets credit for the good he may have done. Orn the ther hand, he is much indebted to a whole lot of ignormuses for the repu- tation they so graciously tendered him to have and to hold during his natural lifetime, while pasturing out amongst these swine of earth.—Big Fork Compass ee An Age of Young Men. Alfred L. Thwing, county attorney of Itasca county, ‘was in Aitkin on Tuesday. Mr. Thwing has already Lonounced that he will be a Republi- can candidate for judge of this district ut the primaries next fall,and is meet- ing with much encouragement in his ambition. He has been endorsed by the bar of Itasta county and is com- mended to the people of other counties us one worthy of the judicial office. He is a young man, but this is an age of young men, and bis youth will be no barrier to his elevation to the bench, so long as the people feel as- sured that he is fitted by character and ability and other qualities to deal out justice between man and man.— Aitkin Republican. A Questionable Victory. Governer Johnson, after a strenu- ous campaign, bas won an en- dorsement which makes his continued candidacy for the presidency possible. The opposition to him in the Demo- eratic state convention will be but a comparative bandful; yet it will pro- bably insist upon voting for Mr. Bryan, so strongly bave the lines been drawn, No on-looker has ever seriously doubted what the result of the pri- J maries would be, thoughall have been somewbat amazed that the opposition was so far reaching and so determined, It has been novel in the country’s political bistory that a man who twice carried his state against an almost overwhelming party majority should have had to face the opposition of so strong a minority of his own party for a merely complimentary endorsement. Governor Johnson has had to con- test practically every county in the state and, while he has carried nearly all of them, it bas been after such an effort and, ina great number of precincts, by such a close vote that he cannot but feel chagrined. It shows conclusively that his own party in his own state, after watching his career at close range, has lost con- ddence in him and does not credit him as a_man.of the people devoted publicans with wonderment. For weeks the appointive executive offices at St. Paul have been deserted and their accustomed occupants, all on the payroll df the taxpayers, have de- voted practically their entire atten- tion to this campaign to hold the state Democracy for its ‘favorite son.” No greater effort could have been made had it been. hetween rival candidates for the same ticket of the dominant party. Indeed, the Republicans have seld- om had as closely fought campaign for any state convention. In Ramsey county the committee called snap caucuses. In Hennepin the yovern- or’s friends offered to divide the dele- gation. In this city his personal or- gap has filled columns and _ pages daily in frantic and tearful appeals that even rose to the climax of red ink. Nor was their any lack of funds. And after the story is all told, there can be no doubt it was all sympathy, not conviction, which carried the day. It is not an easy proposition to get a State to refuse to endorse for the presidency a home man as against one of another state, but if it had been John A. Johnson of any uther state as against William J. Bryan, the former would not have carried a county in Minnesota.—Duluth News Tribune. Steamboat Time Schedule For 1908. The 1908 time card of the Missis- sippi Transportation Co., schedules tripsas follows: -Grand Rapids trips— Steamer will leave Aitkin at7 a. m. for Grand Rapids and way ports on May 29; June 12, 26; July 10, 24; August 14, 28; September 11, 25: October 9. Returning, leaves Grand Repids at 6 a. m. on the following dates: May 31; June 14, 28; July 12, 26; August 16, 30; September 13, 27; October 11. Filed for School Supt. A. G. Reid of Deer Kiver was in town yesterday and filed as a candi- date for the nomination of county school superintendent on the Republi- can ticket. Withdraws Filing. Frank Caldwell, sr., of Bigfork, who filed as a candidate for the office of county commissioner on a Democratic ticket, has withdrawn from the contest, having concluded that the office is not one to be desired, unless a man hap- pened to be looking for a great deal of unnecessary trouble. Favorable to Thwing. A canvass of a number of the Dem- ocratic delegates present at the county convention last Saturday revealed the fact that they are favorable tu the election of A, L. Thwing to the bench of the Fifteenth Judicial district. A resolution endorsing his candidacy would no doubt have carried unani- mously had one been presented. School Entertainment.

Blood, last evening at 8 o0’clock. Rev. Mr. Davies of the Presbyferian church performed the ceremony. SMALL FIRE IN McALPINE BLOCK Bed Mattress Catches Fire But Is Carried To Street Before Doing Much Damage \ About 1:80 o’clock yesterday morn- ing the tire whistle at the power house awoke the slumbering citizens from their peaceful repose and in a short time the fire apparatus was lined up in front of the McAlpine block at the corner of Leland and Third street. Hire was discovered in room No. 4 over the Chinese res- taurant. The room had been occupi- ed by a stranger who left on the one o’clock train going west. The room and hall was filled with smoke, but the fire had not gained sufficient headway to prevent entrance to the room. The mattress and other bed clothing was seized and carried into the street. It was not necessary to turn water on and in a short time the fire whistle announced ‘Fire out.” te can candidate for sher Grand Rapids Wednesday. He had been up to Bemidji on a business trip and stupped' off here to incidentally meet a few friends and renew ac- quaintances. Mr. Riley says he has not yet looked over the political situ- ation to any extent, but so far as he has been able to judge his chances for endorsement at the primaries are very flattering. He is sure of a solid vote in the range towns and has friends in nearly every section of the county who will work loyally to se- cure his nomination. He says be is well satisfied with the outlook in Grand Rapids and expects to get a very good vote from this place. Wilson. of Remer. W. F. Wilson of ,Remer, a good substantial resident of the county who will peddle round the assessment books for four townships between now and July, came down on the G. N. Monday morniog, returning that eveniny. Although Mr. Wilson has long been a member of the big Pilot family, the editor had not the pleasure of meeting him personally until this week. ‘The interest and good work Wilson has done in county politics in the past years, puts him way up on the front seats of the county’s faithfuls.—Walker Pilot. “Seventy-five or Eighty.” A fine of seventy-five dollars or eighty days in the county jail was the sentence pronounced on Doc. Mc- Intosh by Justice Bailey Tuesday morning. “Doc” had served about ten days awaiting trial on a charge of having beat a board bill of $60 at the Pokegama. A jury trial was had and a verdict returned of guilty. He went to jail. ‘ OPTIMISTIC VIEWS (Continued From Page One) in making the trip, but as he was accompanied by two mineral explorers, an expert timber cruiser and a camp cook, and was taking his time to make the journey, it is surmised that he was looking up iron prospects as well as getting an idea of the timber along the river. Mr. Hartley is an optimist and a chat with him gives one new inspira- tion and courage. Hesays the people of Aitkin may think their town a little quiet, but if they only knew it, there are fortunes here awaiting men of foresight and push. There is evidence of it all along the river. “The pine has been pretty well cut off, many people are saying,” said Mr. Hartley to the Republican, “and be; cause of this they think there is ng more money to be made out of timber, but coming down river I saw on all sides the raw material that should be making your town pros- perous and rich, ‘There are great forests of timber, every foot of which is marketable. It is mostly timber inferior to pine, but there are a thousand and ones uses for this in- ferior timber and youshould be manu- facturing it and sending it to market in the finished form. It is all good for something. Up at Cass Lake there is a factory which makes a marketable timber product four inches square. It is shoveled into boxes and shipped in this form. You can make this here as well as itis made at Cass Lake and you should be making berry crates, chicken crates, etc., and boxes of all kinds. Perhaps you have not thought of it, but the tim- ber used every year in making boxes, broom handles and all other things of this kind necessary in our commerce amounts to 30 per cent more than the timber necessary to build all the houses that are being built io the United States. And usually after the grocer takes the goods out of the boxes which come to him he makes a bonfire of them. ‘Thus there is acon- stant demand for this class of timber. Some of your people think because the pine is going that your timber wealth is gone, but the timber that is left will be found far more valuable to you than the pine. You have a gold mine untouched here, if‘you but go ahead and work it.” Mr. Hartley is a millionaire, hav- ing amassed much wealth in the mining business, and he also has a Jarge farm in the norteastern part of this county, on which he is demon- Strating what can be done in this country. In early days he drove the river and worked in the lumber woods north of Aitkin, and he found much pleasure in his visit here Tuesday in recalling the old times with his old friends J. W. Wakefield and B. M. Hungerford, who with the Republi- can editor were his guests at dinner at his camp west of the bridge.—Aitkio Republican. Coox WanTep—Mrs. M. E. Dufficy wants a good cook.

Mr. Sundloff informed a representative of the Herald-Review that he would not be a candidate for the offce of commissioner at the coming fall election. As the couaty is now divided he will be a resident of district No. 2, and expressed him- self as being very strongly in favor of the re-election of Morris O’Brien. AN IMPORTANT LAND DECISION. John R. Donahue, Former County Attorney, Wins Land Case iu Highest Court. The supreme court of the United States on Monday, May 4th, decided the case of John R. Douohue vs. St. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba Rail- way company, involving a conflict over the possession of land in Itasca county, in favor of Donohue. The land in question is in township sixty north, of range twenty-four west, and was settled upon by one Jerry Hickey in 1893, before it had been surveyed, but no effort was made to enter it until after the survey had_ been made. In the meantime the tract had been selected by the railroad company under lieu selection certifi- cates. When Hickey presented his homestead application at the district land office it was refused, and an ap- peal was taken to the General Land Office. 1n 1897 Hickey died leaving as his sule surviving heir his mother, residing in the state of Maine. Mr. Donohue, then practicing law at Grand Rapids, was retained as a®@ torney for the heir of Hickey and he for tde honor they | Clean Stock Do Not Fail to See « The City Lumber Yard Estimates Furnished Prices Right L.

After several years |iti- gation in the land department a de- cision was finally rendered by the secretary of the Interior, wherein it was held that Mrs. Hickey was en- titled to the land, and that upon completion of entry the rights of the railway company would be cancelled. She thereupon completed her entry and a short time thereafter sold the same to Mr. Donohue and relinquish- ed her rights to the government. Mr. Donohue then entered the land under the stone and timber act and after several years litigation in the land department a decision was handed down in favor of the railroad company. Action was then com- menced by Mr. Donohue against the railroad company, to have himself declared the owner of the land. The action was tried before Judge Mar- shall A. Spooner, of the district court and he rendered a decision in favor of Donohue. The railroad company then appealed the case to the supreme court of the ¢tate of Minnesota, which court, Judge Jaggard writing the decision,aftirmed the decision of Judge Spooner. The railroad company ther removed the case to the supreme court of the United States on writ of error and the decision handed down on May 4th | now ends the controversey which has been in litigatian in the land de- partment and in the courts since 1893. This decision of the supreme court of the United States affirming ‘ the decision of the supreme court of the state of Minnesota gives another black eye to the accusitions’of Mr. Hart of Minneapolis, and is. but an- other proof Of the soundness of the decisions of the supreme court of our state.
