MrimNeEsora politicians in Washing- ton have already agreed upon Rip Brower as the republican candidate for guvernoor in 1910, and Congress- mon Hammond as his Democratic epponént. But strange as it may seem, the Washington politicians do not select the candidates for either party.—Brainerd Tribune. EyeRyBODY admires the business man who 1s able by legitimate deal- ing to undersell or underbid his com- petitors, but that parasite in the business world who will undersell or underbid at a loss to himself and the srade in general for the mere purpose of getting business away from legiti- mate dealers, is surely deserving of all the detest the public will sooner or later bestow, truthfully remarks the [nternational Falls Press. IMMIGRATION WORK. Speaking of the immigration work in Minnesota, the St, Paul Pioneer Press says: The fortunes of states often furnish contrasts as do the fortunes of indi- viduals. While Californians are de- mand restriction of immagration, Minnesotans are rejoicing that soon several] hundred aliens are to sail from Germany to find homes in this state, and will start this way a stream of immigration that will i 0,000 new settlers within five years. These German immigrants will come from Galicia, where, tilling five-acre tracts of land, they have accumulated fortunes large enough to give them a good start in Mione- They must have had to exer- cise frugality io their home lives and extreme economy in the treatment of the soil in order to have been able to lay wp even modest wealth from their little farms in an agricultural region. ‘The richness of Minnesota land surely will have full appreciation among these people, and their demonstra- tion of 1ntensiye farming should be a ne example for other farmers. The state imigration department, wbich has taken special pains to acquaint the more desirable districts ef Germany and Russia with the merits of the “Bread and Butter’ State asa home, has started this movemnt from Galicia. Similar can be shown by the depart- ment, and what could be accom- plished with a larger working fund unay be learned by any legislator or ether person who may inquire of Mr. Welch or his assistants. Plenty of evidences and arguments are at hand vo prove that money thus expended is well appropriated. sota. results Merchants Credit Association. The merchants of Grand Rapids held a meeting a short time ago and organized toe ‘Merchants Credit Association.” The purpose of the erganization is clearly set forthio the the following preamble, which Rapids. One of the principal objects | to be attained is the detection of the professicnal dead-beat, of which all communities have a full share, It is the custom of these parasites to work upon the sympathy of dealers to secure aline of credit for goods to the limit, and when final settlement is look for by the obliging merchant the dead-beat passes by the man who had accemmodated him with the necessities of life to play the same game on another dealer. There is but one way for the merchants to protect themselves against this class of customers and that isto keepa list of their names and regularly ex- change them. -This plan, of course, will not apply to all persons who are unable to meet their obligations when agreed upon. Where there is a resonable excuse for failure and an evident disposition to pay, the worthy delinquent will not be placed upon the undesirable list. The pur- pose of the organization is certainly to be commended. IS CHARGED WITH GRAND LARCENY R. P. Longfield of Nashwauk Ar- rested For Alleged Theft and Lodged in Jail. Deputy Sheriff Wm. Hays and C. G. Lippincott arrived from Nashwauk last evening with R. P. Longfield in custoday. The latter is charged with having stolen two time checks from the office of the Hawkins mine and getting the paper cashed. The ag- gregate amount was $51.85. Longfield is a young man about twenty-five years of age, who had been working about the Hawking mine fur some time, and was allowed to sleep in the office. He cashed one of the checks at Hagen’s saloon in Nashwauk, play- ed a wioning game of poker and re- deemed it. Later he went to Hibbing where he cashed both checks. The theft was committed about the 15th of January. Longfield was suspected by C. G. Lippencott, the clerk at the mining office. When arrested at Nashwauk Longfield confessed his guilt. Whitney Male Quartet. Under the auspices of the local Lyceum bureau the famous Whitney brothers will apear at the High school auditorium in Grand Rapids on Thursday evening, February 18. Of the quartet the Hutchison (Kan.) Independent says: The concert by the Whitney Male Quartet touched high water mark in musical quality. It was universally agreed that theirs was the most artistic and high class concert ever given by a male quartet in this city, and Hutchinson bas had the Ottumwas, Wesleyans, Temples and many other of the famous quartet companies. This is a re- warkable organization because it is composed of four full brothers. Their home is in Rochester, New York. They have the advantgage of a thorough musical training. In ad- dition to this the four voices blend perfectly and a harmony is created whichis very pleasing. The tenor solo work of Alvin Whitney and the bass solos of Yale Whitney called forth repeated encores. In fact encores were the order, for by the time the program was ended there had been twice as many numbers given as appeared on the printed program. Mr. Edward M. Whitney, the second tenor, is the reader of the company and makes good on the first number of his work. He getsa hold on the audience and they hardly let him go long enough for the quartet to get 1n a number and encore. Floodwood the Champions. The game of basket ball played last Thursday evening at the Grand Rap- ids Roller rink between the Flooa- wood and Grand Rapids teams, set- tled the championship of northeast- ern Minnesota for this season in favor of the Floodwood boys. The game resulted in a score of 10 to 19 to the; &¢ credit of the visitors. DULUTH HIGHWAY TO GRAND RAPIDS Suggestion Offered by Duluth News Tribune Should Be Given Consideration IT 1S UP TO THE LEGISLATORS Road Already Laid Out the Entire Distance and Much of it in Ex- cellent Condition For Use at the Present Time. The Duluth News Tribune makes the suggestion that it would be an easy undertaking by the legislatiye members of Itasca and St. Louis counties to secure a permanent high- way between Duluth and Grand Rapids. The News Tribune say: The legislature delegations from this county and Itasca county can do this section of the state a most valuable seryice by securing the building of a permanent highway from Duluth to Grand Rapids. This would be a most important improvement, and give a great impetus tosettlement in in all the splendid section between these cities There is now asortof aroad for the entire distance. From this city west to Floodwood, about half the way, it isin excellent condition; for the rest of the way it is merely pass- able, but the start has been made. It is not a difficult road to build. There are no engineering difficulties toovercome. In fact, the road is there. but it needs to be madea highway, a main. thoroughfare from and to which feeders can be built by the many settlements on either side. It is estimated by those competent to say, that from $15,000 to $18,000 would do the necessary work, which very properly could be placed under the supervision of the state highway commission. This is a beggarly sum considering the vast benefit. This is one of the very best farming regions in this part of the state. 1t already has considerable settlements. It would connect two central markets} It would form an outlet to railroads which now give satisfactory local markets, where they can be readily reached, It would make what is most need- ed, a highway beginning somewhere and with definite ending. It would be the best possible example of the value of a permanent trunk highway as compared to the present system of a few miles good a few more bad and without any definite character or purpose. These two counties have the largest balance to their credit of any in the state. That is, they pay a larger amount of taxes to the state in pro- portion to what they get back than any other. They have the right to ask forsmall favors of this kind, and we do not believe there would be any in granting it upon the Louis hesitation united request of St. Itasca counties. and Car Load of Ground Feed.
