No. 2 FRANK E. BOWDEN. The most quiet and orderly muni- cipal election ever pulled off in Grand Rapids was that of yesterday—and Grand Rapids has long been famous for her law adiding conduct when these important events take place. The township election was equally so. The only opposition to the regu- larly nominated caucus ticket was for the office of village recorder be- tween W. C. Yancey and H. E. Graf- fam. Mr. Yancey received the nomination in the caucus and was endorsed at the election by a vote of 179 to 158, a majority of 21. The total vote polled at the village hall was 345. The ticket elected throughout could not well be improved upon. A.C, Bossard, who was chosen at the head of the council is the sort of business man who understands the municipal affairs of Grand Rapids and has the ability and desire to see public affairs conducted along proper lines. He strongly objected to accepting the position, but the insistance of many leading citizens finally prevailed and as a result Grand Rapids will havea presiding officer that will do his rull duty to the public. Heary Hughes, Keo Leroux and E. N. Remer, the three trustees chosen, are representative business men in whose bands the affairs of the village will be well guarded. During two terms W.C. Yancey has proved his competency as village recorder and asa voting member of the council. John E. McMahon, as treasurer, Charles Kearney, justice of the peace and Art Seamans as constable, were retained in office without opposition. Township Election. he contest between the friends of Wm. P. Nisbett and U. C. Gravelle for the office of township supervisor, was quite spirited during the day, and resulted in the election of Mr. Nisbett by a vote of 196 to 164. Joe McMahon and James Connell recétved j of many of the lovers of muscial art. the highest number of votes, each —Charles Brown. Hot Time at Deer River. The good citizens of Deer River were evidently looking for trouble on election day. Governor Johnson was appealed to for protection against pos- sible riots. The Governor submitted the matter to Senator Gunn, who ad- vised the chief executive that he did not regard the citizens of Veer River as a desperate people and that in his opinion the local authorities could take care of the situation. Acting on this advise the governor com- municated with Sheriff Riley and County Attorney Price, who spent the day in that town. No trouble was started, the saloons were all closed, not a drunken man in sight, and they remained closed until five o’clock this morning. There is a dis- pute over certain territority that was recently annexed to the village as to the legality of the action taken, and a contest is likely to follow, itis said. The following ticket was elected: For president—W. C. La Croix; for trustees — W. J. Shreve, John A. McDonald and Joseph St. Peter; for recorder H. H. Herreid; for treasurer —O. FE. Hulehan; for justice of the peace—for 2 years, J. D. Burgess, for lyear, O. H. Sweum; for constable— for 2 years, W. H. Obert, for one year, Leonard Scott; for assessor—George A. Rich. COMMERCIAL CLUB. HOLDS MEETING Committees Report and Much In- terest in the Affairs of the Community is Shown. At the regular meeting of the Grand Rapids Commercial club last Friday evening there was a good sized gathering of members present at the court house when President Finnegan called the meeting to order. Mr. A. C. Bossard made a_ verbul re- port for the committee that had been to St. Paul to confer with the Soo Railway officials relative to the proposed line from Thief River Falls to Duluth. The committee were in- formed that the line would probably not be extended the present year, and that the survey had not yet | been decided upon. Grand Rapids is almost in direct line between the two terminal points and there is reason to belive that this town will not be missed when the road 1s built. The committee was continued for the purpose of gathering additional in- formation and statistics to be sub- mitted later to the Soo officials. L. M. Bolter, chairman of the com- mittee appointed to investigate the sanitary condition of the village water supply, reported that his ‘com- mittee had waited upon the village council, which body had appointed a joint committee to investigate the matter in connection with the Com- mercial club committee. A report will be submitted at the next meet- ing. The subject of taxation was brought up for discussion, and the president appointed a committee consisting of F. A. King, L. M. Bolter and J. S. Gole to investigate the matter and bring such informa- tion as may be obtained before the club. Mr. Bolter later communicated with the President, declining to serve, and County Auditor M. A. Spang was substituted to work with the other members. The date of regular meetings was changed to the second and fourth Fridays of each Month, George Edwards, Pianist. Of the talented young piano artist who will appear tomorrow evening at the auditorium, the Fargu, North Dakota, Daily Call says: At7.30 p.m. an Organ Recital was given, which attracted the attention pleasure, on account of the fact, that the organist was a Fargo—a North Dakota boy. George Edwards, the son of a man, who in his day, made a faber pencil vibrate thoughts of pow- er, forthe yoodof the state. One who knew bim at the home fireside, has this to say: ‘‘Mr. George Edwards is an accomplished graduatein music. His precise touch, causes the orn to respond in majestic symphobdy, and dignified harmony. The most difficult parts are treated as trifles, the kind that go to make profection —and perfection is no trifle: Mr. Edwards is also a composer of merit. His soprano solo, “Thy Will Be Dove’’ wins merit by the pathos arouses in the soul, Emerson said, “Only the spirit can teach.’ Those who attended this recital were led to realize that this bright young musi- cian and composer, had caught the inspiration of the masters, and asa result, the storehouse of the musical loving world, would be iucreased.” The Slayton Jubilee Singers. Of a recent appearance in South Dakota, the Deadwoud papers speak as follows: The sweet singers at the South gave a high-class and refined program Saturday evening at the Deadwood Theatre. It has been maby moons since the local public has listened to such an aggregation of musical artists as the Slayton Jubilee Singers. Everyone was com- pelled to respond to encore after encore. Among the troupe is Miss Brown. soprano, and Charles Downs, seven were won. The total defzated Bemid Cranbrook, r. g..

His singing alone was worth the price of admission. number of sacred anthems and chants were rendered, interspersed with snatches of melody from the old plantation songs. The voices in unison mingled most harmoniously and shows the re of years of care- ful training. ey have won @ warm spot in the hearts of the local musical public.” This is only one of the many recent press notices. The company consists of a splendid mixed quartet, a splendid male quartet, and includes four soloists of unusual strength: Miss Maud Brown, Mr. Charles H. Downs, Miss Efnes- tine Helms, Mr. Wm. Hugh Mason. Again, the occasion was one of deep 4 At Village hall ‘in Grand Rapids Saturday, March 13. PREPARING FOR ~ TASCA CO.

His selection to the presidency was a recognition of his j superior equipment for the position. The selection of H. E, Graffam was ‘along the same lines. His former experience in the office of secretary has admirably equipped him to per- form the important and exacting duties that devolve upon the secre- tary. is unanimous selection was a .deserved compliment, and while the compensation is entirely inadequate with the work involved the affairs of the society will be carefully looked after. As vice-president W. Q. Yost has given much of his time and ener- gies to the affairs of the fair associa- ' tion and will continue to be a valu- able assistant tothe other officers and committees. A.J. McGuire was placed at the head of the dairy and live stock division; U.C. Gravelle, |erains, grasses and vegetables; O. J. Niles, household and domestic division. Early. in the season the officers will make such improvements to the grounds and additions to the present inadequate buildings as the means at hand will permit.

Weicht, Northfield, Minn. Dear Sir:— Some weeks ago you asked me to conduct an experiment for you using some of your International sugar feed in feeding my cows for milk pro- ductions. I will say that I have just completed a test with two good cows that were -averaging between 54 and 55 pounds of milk daily. These cows were being fed ground oats and bar- ley, vil meal and clover hay, I weighed the milk at each milking and also weighed the feed: that they were receiying. After runving them for several days I changed the grain feed entirely and gave them instead of their former grain ration the equiva- lent in pounds of your International Mrs. 'sugar feed. The hay and ensilage feed remained the same. After run- ning these cows on the change of feed for several days I find that they hold their messes to within four tenths of a pound per mess for the cow and this little difference would bave occured with any kind of feed because of the difference in period of lacatation. As to the cost of pro- ducing the milk trom the two feeds there isa difference of about $6.00 a ton in favor of the International Sugar Feed. Very truly yours, (Signed) W. F. Scniniie.
