Trebilcock of Coleraine, Republican candidate for county com- missioner from the Third district, was a Grand Rapids visitor Saturday and Sunday. Mr. Trebilcock has no op- position and hence is not much wor- ried over the outcome. He did not seek the office, and it is not hkely that he would do much worrying if he had opposition. F. P. Sheldon of the First National band of Grand Rapids, now a resident of Minneapolis, went west yesterday with a shot gun and suit case.

Chris Hansen returned from Hot Springs, Ark., Thursday last, where he had been for about six weeks taking treatment at the medical springs. He is much improved in health and feels that in a short time he will be as good as ever.

M. King of Deer River was a business visitor in Grand Rapids Saturday and Sunday. Mr. King does not appear to be very much wormed over the forthcoming election and feeis confident that the people will endorse his past record with a very substantial majority on the 3rd of November. Since becom- ing a member of the board about twenty-one months ago Mr. King has accomplished more for his district than had ever before been attempted by any commissioner. Mrs. Hattie F. Booth, county superintendent of schools, started out on a tour of inspection Monday of this week, that will take up her time in the country for at least two weeks, She will visit all the public schools in district No, 1, which covers an im- mence territory. From Bena she will travel by team, and the trip is one not to be envied. The roads through that section are not such that anyone would care to travel over them for the pleasure to be afforded. There is prob- ably no school superintendent in the state whe has so great an amount of hard work to do as does Mrs. Booth, but her duties are never slighted. Every school in the county is regularly visited, and as a result of her labors Itasca county’s country schools have attained a high standing. Hibbing at Grand Rapids. Messaba Ore, Hibbing: Next Sat- urday the Hibbing team will play at Grand Rapids with the High school team of that town. Grand Rapids has always been the terror of the north- eastern part part of the state, but the walloping received at Duluth a week ago has put lots of confidence into the others team, and they now look upon the Grand Rapids fellows as being no better and no worse than any of the others. ~ A Visitor From the West. Many were the Grand Rapids friends who welcomed W. G. More yesterday as he alighted frum the afternvon train. He had just arrived from Yamhill, Oregon, a town located a few miles from the city of Portland, where he is engaged in logging and sawmilling. The same old firm of Moore and McHardy, formerly of Cohasset, are stiil operating among the logs and lumber. This firm owns a large tract of valuable pine, besides a saw will that runs day and night. Georgeis looking younger than when he left here about two years ago, and looks prosperous and happy as ever. He says when he cleans up a quarter of a million he will at least maintain a gorgeous Summer home in Itasca county, probably at the county seat. Mr. Moore will be here about three weeks to 'odk after some business matters and to renew old acquain- tances. The first thing he did upon reaching town was to pay a year’s subcription to the Herald-Review. There is quite a number of former Itasca county people at Yamhill, and they all read the Herald- Review each week with as much pleasure aud eagerness as a youth reads the tender missives of his first love. Death of Marshall Helms. Marshall Helms, aged twenty-three years, died at his home in this village yesterday morning of typhoia fever. He had been sick about three weeks, having contracted the dread desease while working at Calumet. Dr. Storch was called and had the patient brought to his home in Grand Rapids. The immediate cause of death was hemorrhage of the bowels. Marshall Helms was a Grand Rapids boy, hav- ing lived here since his childhood days. Hewas an industrious young man of good moral habits and had a host of friends who deeply mourn his death. A sister of the deceased, Mrs. Theodore Hoshel of Travers City. Mich., arrived here last week to help care for her brother. Her husband had been here since last July. Besides the sister the deceased is survived by his wife and aged father who reside in Grand Rapids. Interment will be made in Itasca cemetary at 100’clock tomorrow morning. A Busy Contractor. W. W. Fletcher, the Cohasset build- ing contractor, is one of the busiest men in the county these days, and hasn’t even time to talk politics. He has the contract for the erection of the new Catholic church at Deer River, and also the contract for build- ing a new school house at Big Fork. Besides this he has been appointed to oversee the construction of the new town hall at Cohasset. It is little wonder that he has no time to stand on the street corners and descuss the merits and demerits of the respective candidates for public favor. But Fletcher is a hustler and the expects to pusb these contracts to completion with no unnecessary delay. Asked to Show Cause. George H. Spear as attorney for H. S. Huson has commenced proceedings in district court against M. A. Spang as county auditor and Colin McLen- nan to show cause why the name of McLennan should not be kept off the official ballot as an independendent caudidate for the office of judge of probate. It is alleged that Mr. McLen- nan was brought out as ap independ- ent candidate through persona) spite against Judge Huson; that Mr. McLennan has failed to have himself properly designated as a candidate; that many who signed his petition are ignorant foreigners, unable to read or wrije. An order for a hearing is set for tomorrow before Judge McClenahan io chambers at Brainerd. A. L. Thwing will appear on behalf of Auditor Spang and Mr. McLennan. Township Openings Postponed. The Herald-Review received the following notice yesterday from the register and receiver of the Cass Lake land office: ‘‘Notice is hereby given that we have this day been advised by a telegram from the commissioner of the general land office, to postpone the filing of the plats for township sixty-eight, range twenty-six and township sixty-six, range twenty-five, until further advised. Therefore there will not now be township open- ings on November 10th and 13th, 1908, as previously advertised, and not un- til new notices have issued.” Thanks to Commissioner King. | Says the Big Fork Settler in its last issue: “To drive over the roads io this town now is considerable dif- ferent than it was two years ago. Then thesettlers had hard work to get over the roads with a lumber wagon and in fact a man could carry more in a pack sack thap he could haul in a wagon with a team. Now it is nothing common to see teams hitched to buggies and driven at a rapid rate over the roads without any trouble whatever.” A Change of Pastors. Rev. Hollis R. Scott who has served as pastor of the Grand Rapids M. E. church during the past three years has been transferred to Morris, Minn. Rev. S. G. Briggs, who bas been pastor of the Merritt Memoria! church, west Duluth, bas been assigned to Grand Rapids. Rev. Mr. Briggs comes well recommended .as a minister of ability and earnest devotion to chuch work. He filled the pulpit here last Sunday and made a very fayorable impression on the congregation. Rev. Mr. Scott, the retiring minister, will leave a Jarge circle of friends in Grand Rapids who sincerely regret his de- parture to a new field of Jabor. While under his charge the local chuch has prospered and increased in member- ship. He has been at all times a most zealous worker in the cause of Christ, and the fruits of his effort will be appreciated by his successor. The Herald-Review commends Rev. Scott to the good people of Morris. For Sate—Dairy stock. Owingto scarcity of feed, I will offer for sale a few good cows and heifers. A good chance to start in good stock. Call and see them. A. M.
