Superintendent Frank McCormick and his crew of men are making big strides these days at the work of cleaning up the site for the fair grounds south of Ice lake. A large plot of ground for the race track is all cleared and the work of grading and preparing for a half mile track is well under way. ‘The park to the west of the track is being thinned out and underbrushed and when the work now underway is completed Itasca county will have a fair ground that will bea thing of beauty and a joy forever. Mr. McCormick thoroughly understands the work in hand and the county is to be congratulatea up- on getting the services of so able a man to superintend this work. Della Yancey, Bachelor of Arts A Grand Rapids Miss Distinguishes Herself at Carlton. Last Wednesday the commence- ment exercises of Carlton college at Northfield, took place and Grand Rapids is more than proud of its one lone representative, Miss Della Yan- cey.

JOHNSON - Proprietor. | WILL CELEBRATE 41h OF JULY Grand Rapids to Have a Rousing Celebration of Our Anniversary. UNDER AUSPICES OF THE EAGLES Committees Appointed and Active Work Began to Make This the - Greatest Event in the His- tory of the Village. At the last meeting of Pokegama Aerie, F.O.E., the matter of celebrat- ing the 132nd anniversary of our in- dependence was the principal topic and it was unanimously decided that the Eagles would again take charge of the celebration and com- mittees were appvinted that will get out and do things. What the Eagles decide to do may be looked up as an accomplished fact and they say that this year’s celebration will exceed anything ever before attempted in Grand Rapids. The program that is being prepared will furnish one con- tinuous round of amusement from daylight until late at night, and will include every form of athletic contest and liberal purses will be hang up. Two games of ball will help pass the time and if present negutiations are consummated they will prove to be the real thing. Arrangements are not yet com- pleted but it is expected that the rink can be secured for dancing, both afternoon and evening and the city band will furnish music upon the streets all day. Our sister towns are invited to come to Grand Rapids and no effort will be spared to make your sojourn among us on this occasion a pleasant one. Bring the whole family and help celebrate the Nation’s Independence Day. We hope to print in our next issue a complete program, but you may depend upon the celebration whether we get the program in these columns or not. DRAINAGE GOOD ADVERTISEMENT Better to Have Water Than Want Irrigation. “Some think it is not a good ad- vertisement for Minnesota to talk about our extensive drainage work,” says George A. Ralph in a recent in- terview with an exchange. ‘I hold the contrary. 1t emphasizes the fact that Minnesota is a well-watered state. It is easier to get water off the land once and for all by ditching than to put water on the land by irrigation ditches, with the continual expense and nuisance of pumping and regulat- ing the flow. Our land, when once drained, is the equal of any, and with state and local drainage operations, we are making new farms every year to supply the demand for land and is- crease the wealth of the state. “This is our big year for work, and next season there will be less state work because we cannot let contracts this fall to be paid out of next year’s appropriation. We must wait till the legislature makes the appropriation, and cannot let contracts till late next spring, which ‘will leave a short season for the work. What we should have is a continuous appropriation for drainage. Under the new law it is only a revolving fund, and comes right back into the treasury as fast as the land is sold.” = Frank Mahara’s Minstrels. It is hardly necessary to introduce the famous Mahara Brothers to the theatre going public as they have always been high in their estimate as first-class purveyors of minstrelsy and rag time opera for the past sixteen years. This year, with a new palace car, twenty-five colored artists, a mag- nificent compliment of scenery and costumes, striking electrical effects and a combination of specialty artists, dancers, eccentric comedians, novelty artists and sweet-voiced singers, Ma- hara Brothers seem to be able to sub- stantiate their claim. that they have | A FLOURISHING NEW INDUSTRY Factory Now in Operation. A visit to the cement plant of John Lofberg discloses a busy scene. Some half dozen men are employed and the blocks now being manufactured are perfect specimens of that popular building material. The output at present is 150 blocks per day but as soon as the work is systimatized this will be increased to at least 300. Mr. Lofberg has a ten acre factory siteon the east end of Ice lake and the sand pit is but five rods distant from the main building. The’ plant will turn out all kinds of finished ce- ment work and Mr. Lofberg is to be congratulated upon the success he is making of his new venture. TRAP SHOOTERS - BEGIN WORK Seven Members Contest for Trophy Last Thursday With Poor Results. Either the shooters were in poor form or else it was the weather last Thursday as the work at the trap by the local shooters was decidedly ragged. The old timers think it was a prevailing high wind but even so the score should show up much better. The Herald-Review proposes to pub- lish the score week by week showing the weekly ‘kill’ of each member and their standing and by consulting these columns they may know just what. chance they have of securing that Dupont trophy. Weshall expect a better showing at the next shoot. The official score follows: Event No. 1. June 11, 1908. Beckfelt.. Individual Standing. Shot At Broke Per Cent. Beckfelt .... 10 -400 Dibbert 9 -360 Garris 20 -800 Leroux. 12 +480 Powers . 18 -720 Kremer. 14 560 Yancey. . 18 -720 OFFERS LIBERAL Game and Fish Commission Wants Information as to Illegal Killing. The State Game and Fish Commis- sion purposes this year to vigorously “go after” men who are adicted to the habit of ‘‘shining’’ deer or driving them into the lakes where they can be slaughtered very easily says the Bemidji Pioneer. 4 In a letter to A. G. Rutledge, Carlos Avery, evecutive agent for the com- mission, says: “During the period when moose and deer are driven to the water by flies and mosquitoes, which is now about to begin and which will con- tinue approximately two months, an easy opportunity is afferded to wan- tonly destroy many of these large game animals. It has been the ex- perience of the past that scores of moose and deer are annually shot to death in the water, many of them being left to decay by the guilty parties. “AS .a means of preventing the killing of deer and moose at this season, 1 would suggest that you give all possible publicity to the fact that the commission offers a reward of $25 for information which will lead to the conviction of anyone killing deer illegally, and $50 in the case of moose or caribou.” The fact that the commission is offering a reward for the conviction of lawless pothuoters will probably result in the apprehension of some men who have followed this practice but have managed to escape prose- cution. Last Friday’s ball game between Coleraine and Grand Rapids at this point was called at the end of the: fourth inning on account of rain the the score being six to three in favor of Grand Rapids, & reached the acme of minstrelsy. This popular aggregation will hold the boards in the opera house, Monday, June 22nd, and will undoubtedly have a large audience.
