Koen of the Biwabik Times still keeps after the blind pig and the brewers and says in his last issue> “In the rush and push of other things do not forget that the brewers have entered into a compact not to sell to unlicensed places, including boarding houses. If you know were they are violating this agreement we will pay for proof of the fact. It is our purpose to put an end to blind pigging and the fight is not ended until a law has been passed making it a crime for the brewers to sell to piggers.” Interests Are Closely Identified. Mr. Thwing, Itasca county’s candi- date for the republican nomination of district judge, will undoubtedly re- ceive a larger vote in Koochiching county than the opposition for one important reason, and that isthe fact that our interests are more closely identified with Itasca county than with those of Hubbard. Conceding that the two candidates are on equal footing in point of learning, tempera- ment, integrity and other necessary qualifications of a good judge, the fact that we are in the same legisla- tive district as ltasca is in itself an important consideration. We shall want representation from our county in time, and it will be Itasca and not Hubbard county that can be of help to us in electing a representative. In this and many other ways we must look to Itasca for friendly aid in the vears to come, therefore it behooves us to assist our neighbors in elevat- ing their favorite son to the district court bench. We speak of this in a merely casual way, but shall in time present many other good reasons for the nomination of Mr. Thwing.—In- ternational Falls Echo. otek meee uae For Sate—8 thousand feet of extra fine pine inch boards, ‘faced.
