I desire to thank all who have taken an interest in my candidacy and to assure them that their good will is appreciated.” . A. A. KREMER Candidate Before the Primaries for the Re- publican Nomination for County Treasurer. If the newspapers of the county are | his first four years in the treasurer’s mirrors in which public opinion is)office there was an interval of six reflected then A. A. Kremer is without doubt our next county treas- urer. Nota paper in the county but what is boosting fur him and the complimentary things they have to say show that he has made good in the past. This is as it should be. Not a taxpayer of Itasca county bub real- izes the importance of the work of the treasurer’s office and has had dealings with Mr. Kremer that has convinced him that he is an expert at his work, accommodating and oblig- ing, willing at all times to take extry pains to keep up with the work and forward tbings for their best isterest. When Mr. Kremer was succeeded after years and during that time the affairs of the office were not handled with his accustomed regularity and he has only now get the office in smooth runuing order. This has necessitated an endless amouot of work which carried no extra compensation and it is believed that the office ‘should go to him again that things might ina small measure balance themselves. Without Opposition. Itasca county has some county of- ficials who are so well liked that op- position is net even thought of and as for anyone being rash enough to put up a contest. if such could be found, he would be looked upon as a candidate for the ‘‘bug-house.”’ Coup- ty Auditor Spang, Register of Deeds McGowan and Clerk of the Court Rassmussen are the very best of men for the respective offices they occupy, and epjoy the confidence of the voters to such an extent that office seekers do not even consider the advisability of buttingin. Itasca has been well served by these gentlemen and an- otber term is theirs withoutan effort. An Able Attorney. For county attorney we have a number of candidates in the field and while they are all good men we desire to call your attention to one in particular that has made good. We refer to Attorney F. F. Price. An old resident of Grand Rapids, a large tax payer and one of the most successful practitioners at the bar of Itasca county. A man well qualified by experience and whose legal knowledge would make him of great value to the county. Mr. Price is too old an attorney and too well known throughout this section of the state to need any extended notice at this time and his candi- dacy is being boosted by a host of friends without regard to party affiliation. Let’s elect him. Commissioner for the Fifth. Archie McWilliams of Nashwauk needs no special introduction tothe older residents of Itasca county. Years ago he was a resident of Grand Rapids and for some eigh- teen years has continued to live within our bofder, more recently at Nashwauk. He isa man of sterling integrity, just and upright in all his transactions and is put forward as a candidate by his neighbors in his district as the one satisfactory man to represent all that is best in that community. Mr. McWilliams will make a goodcommissioner and his long residence and connection with public affairs in that district will make him a valuable member of that important body. Mr. Mc- Williams was a caller on old time friends at the Rapids the first of the week and is just as jovial and companionable as of yore. He stated to the Herald-Review that We predict Mr. Kremer’s nomina- tion at the primarys by an over whelming majority. No reasonable man can think otherwise after looking over the fleld and it is a pleasure to recommend him to the voters and endorse his candidacy. they were enjoying a wonderful growth in his section of the county and that the needs of a commis- sioner is apparent. The re-district- ing of the county is very satisfactory at his home town and people gen- erally are pleased that they are to have a representative on the board. tained the big crowd with a history of The I, and R. R. Ry. is forgeing steadily ahead toward Big Falls and two engines are hauling sand every day. It is hoped by the northern settlers that the passenger will run up to Effie this fall, and thus save the long walk to Bigfork. Raspberring is. in full swing now and hundreds of quarts are gathered by the settlers, but large quantities go to waste for want of pickers. Mrs. Gus Gustafson has gathered about one hundred quarts, and many ofthe other settlers have berries every day The other day the family of Geo. Roberts, while out haying, saw four bears in the meadow—two cubs and two bears, and Mrs. Roberts at” first intended to tree the cubs with a pitch- fork; but seeing the old bears resting upon their haunches and ready for war, she concluded that it was better to retreat. Something must be wrong when a railway runs thro the center of this country where the deer, moose and bear roam, and yet a scarcity of settlers! What else do the good peorle wish for in choosing a location for a farm home? The soil is fine, the climate is excellent, the air is invig- orating, there are no crop failures, it never gets too hot, you can always sleep the sweetest and most refreshing of sleeps, there is no danger of starving, everything grows readily, you are at peace with the world and yourself and free as the air; then for goodness sake, why starve and scrape in the town: and the cities? . News Notes The ball game, Sunday, did not turn out just as we might have wished it to, but then the rain turned out and helped a whole lot in the way of sliding and so Deer River slid a couple in on us ere we had time to catch our breath, and then, well, the game was over. It was a splendid game just the same. It is reported that H. L. Dennler and camera came in from the Rapids) to see the game, and it is thought that the camera also saw a few things. Oscar Lind and J. M. Jones both will rebuild the buildings that were destroyed by fire some time ago. This proves that Bigfork 1s a good, little town for business and that our business men know it. Wm. Griffith, one of Pium Creeks old-time settlers, paid this region a visit after an absence of four years, and was very much surprised at the changes that the country had under- gone during that time. He found im- provements everywhere and saw gardens that knocked the spot off from anything seen vut in the more settled countries. Mr. Griffith left, fully con- vinced that the Bigfork valley would some day be a great farming district, and that all that was needed was a few more hustling settlers. MAJESTIC Oven Rack is non-breakable, made of Malleable Iron, and is so constructed that it easily slides out of oven, holding any weight it may contain. Isn’t it handy when basting a roast or turkey to slide rack and all out, instead of lifting the roast«entirely out of the oven, as is necessary on " other ranges. This is one of the features of the Great Majestic Range that makes cooking a pleasure. W. J. & H. D. POWERS, Grand Rapids, - - Minnesota.
