The Grand Rapids High school girls of the basket ball team went to Floodwood Saturday last and played the team at that place. They made good by a score of 15 to 1.

B. A. convention held here last night. The Herald-Review acknowledges a pleasant call from Mr. Peterson. The municipal light and water plant at Rice Lake, Wis., is said to be losing money, which developed only after an expert accountant examined the books, and found a loss of $3,000 in the past seven months. The state utilities commission has been asked to investi- gate the situation and advise what should be done.—Improvement Bulle- tin. It will pay you to read the stove advertisement of Henry Hughes & Co, in this issue of the Herald-Review, A fifty-five dollar range—the Coral— is to be given away obsolutely free. Every purchaser of hardware to the extent of fifteen dollars will have a chance to get a high priced and high standard range free. _The proposition is well worth investigation. Patrick Sullivan, a woodsman, aged about twenty-five years, died at St. Benedict’s hospital on the 14th inst, of pneumonia. He had been employed at one of Simpson’s camps out from Bena. ‘The deceased had relatives in Minneapolis who were communicated with, but they refused to take charge of the remains or give any directions for burial. Interment will be made today at Itasca cemetery. The Minnesota and Dakota farmer is authority for the statement that there are approximately 233,598,995 chickens of laying age in the United States. They lay annually enough eggs to allow every man, woman and child in this country 203 eggs; valued at $85,000,000. If these figures are correct, the hens hereabouts are shirk- ing their duties just now by laying off, and according to the prices charged the total output would aggregate a much greater sum than that mentioned. “I enclose herewith two dollars, good and lawful money of the United States, in payment of a year’s sub- scription to the Herald-Review,” says Pat Holloran of Minneapolis, No, 20, Fifth street, north. Pat says he could get along without the official paper of Itasca county, but he does not pro- pose to do so while it may be secured once a week for twelve months for a two dollar bill. He said it would be a good investment at half the price and ro per cent off for cash. ““How- ever,” he adds, “I always have been a reckless spender, and might as well throw my money at the Herald-Re- view as at the birds.”” T. A. Johnson of Superior, who has represented the wholesole paper house of Wright, Barrett & Stilwell of St. Paul, in this territory during the past mine years, wasin town yesterday. This is Mr. Johnson’s last trip over this territory, a fact that many friends will regret, for Johnson is a young man who makes friends and does business wherever he goes. He has accepted a position as sales manager with the American Paper company of Seattle, Wash., where he is due to take. up his new duties on the first of March. Mr. Johnson is recognized as one of the most success- full paper salesmen on the road, and the Herald.Review has no _ hesitency in predicting a continuation of that success in his new and more responsible position. Bought Neal Cedar Yard. The Coolidge-Schussler company of Minneapolis recently secured title to a valuable property near Cohasset from W, E. Neal of Bemidji. The tract of land lying between the river and railroad tract, known as the Co- hasset cedar yard, has been bought by the Coolidge-Schussler people from Mr, Neal, The consideration is reported to have been $5,000, This property was involved in litigation for soine time, Mr, Neal having sold ita number of years ago tothe Dunn & Marcia company, who had agreed in the contract to put up and maintain asaw mill on the. site, This they failed to do, and Neal brought suit to recover title, finally winning in the state supreme court, Snap to Enter a Safe On Wednesday last Mr. Lombard of the Electric Protection company of Minneapolis, the company that recent- ly installed the burglar alarm system in the vault of the First State bank, gave a demonstration at the above bank of the ease with which any safe ever manufactured can be entered in less than five minutes by the use of two harmless and inexpensive chemi- cals. In the presence of fifteen or twenty representatiye citizens of Grand Rapids Mr. Lombard melted a hole through a halt inch piece of tool steel in less than half a minute. Mr. Lom- bard argues that no bank gives ade- quate protection to its patrons without his burglar alarm system and in view of the demonstration made it would seem that the contention is valid. The piece of steel was secured at the blacksmith shop of Geo. Riddle and the chemicals were ignited right inside the bank with ordinary matches. The heat generated instantly was approxi- mately nine thousand degrees F. which is seven times more than 1s re- quired to melt any steel. Takes Up Life Insurance. M. E. Winsor tendered his resigna- tion as assistant cashier of the First National bank of Grand Kapids on the first of January, and will devote his time exclusively hereafter to writ- ing insurance in the New York Life. Mr. Winsor has been made general agent for the territory between Du- luth and Bemidji. He has secured office room in the First National bank building. For some time past Mr. Winsor has been writing insur- ance for the New York Life company, and displayed an aptness for the work that attracted the attention of his superiors, who offered him very flattering inducements to give his _en- tire attentionto the business. Mody Winsor is a Grand Rapids young man who promises to make a decided success in life. Five years ago he en- tered the First National bank as office boy, and by strict attention to his duties he gained the confidence of his employers and rapidly advanced until two years ago he was made assistant cashier of that financial in- stitution, which position he held until his resignation was accepted.

The Mesaba Ore, Hibbing, makes the following remarks concerning our telephone” affairs: ‘Grand Rapids, the bustling town that | begins where .the Mesaba range in its western course leaves off, isin revolt because the Bell Telephone company, having a monopoly, raised the rentals, Patrons of the company were paying one dollara month for residence ‘phones and two dollars a month for telephones- in the busi- ness houses, and the company ordered a raise of fifty cents on the former seventy-five on the latter. With the raise Grand Rapids has the best of Hibbing and other Mesaba range towns by several cents’ worth. Here we pay two dollars for ‘“‘house” *phones and three dollars and fifty cents for the commodity in our places of business. Grand Rapids is in luck but it don’t seem to know it. Many ’phones are being taken out and the people over there are earnestly talking of organizing an independent telephone company.” New Band at Marble.

This will be the first entertainment of this character taking place in Marble and the band boys want to do the thing right. They are making pre- parations to have one of the best times ever and confidentially expect to dispose of enough tickets to pay for their newly purchased instru- ments. Among the members of the band are several from the Michigan copper country who had experience in some of the bands for which that country is famous.
