Saturday. Incidentally he contributed a five-dollar bill in payment of the Herald-Review and remarked that he wouldn’t be without it if it cost that amount every twelve months. Mrs. H.S. Huson, wite of Judge Huson of the probate court, was able to be out on her invalid chair Monday to enjoy the pleasant weather. This is the first time Mrs, Huson has left her room since she was accidently in- jured at the Cochran home at Wabana geveral months ago. Chas. Lydick of Anoka, represent. ing the A, C, Thompson Carriage Co, of St. Paul, was here last Wednesday on business. Mr. Lydick was a resi- dent here in the early eighties, and his reminiscences of those days kept the old timersin a roar during his stay here —Aitken Independent. A. Racine returned from Duluth yesterday where he had been called by the illness of his ten-year-old daugh- ter. She was suffering from appendi- citis, and on Monday Dr. Magie per- formed an operation on the child. Mr. Racine has three of his children in Duluth at the home for orphans, There’s no use kicking on the weather man. Last year he tried to give usa pleasant April and as a re- sult he hada supply on hand that spoiled May. Heis apparently try- ig to get the remains of winter off this hands before tapping the regular spring and summer goods. Perhaps at’s all for the best. W. C, Gilbert of the Gilbert Land company oi Grand Rapids, accompa- nied by his son Wayne, arrived in Be. midji last Tuesday from Minneapolis, where he transacted business for sev- eral days. Mr. Gilbert and his son spent the day attending to some local business matters and visiting friends. —Bemidji Pioneer. : V. H. Powers, one of Hibbing’s ‘brilliant young attorneys, and a hust- ling business man of the iron metro- polis, was here Saturday last looking after the organization of the new village of Calumet, of which he is one of the townsite owners. The county commissioners granted a petition ask- ing for the nght to organize. Gene Helms, employed at drill work on the Salter farm on the west shore of Pokegama lake, came to town Thursday morning with his left big toe badly lascerated. It had acciden- tally been punctured by a drill. Dr. Russell fixed up the injured member, after which Mike Lieberman outfitted him with a No. 10 running gear. Herbert Miller, eldest son of Mr, and Mrs. C. C. Miller, left Tuesday for Tonopoh, Nevada, where he goes to seek hisfortune. Heis a young man of excellent habits, industrious and popular and his Grand Rapids friends have no doubt that he will make good and return a winner from the west in a few years. The hearty good wishes of many go with him. W. H. Crowell, formerly an attor- ney at Brainerd, came up from Duluth yesterday on a visit to Geo. H. Gard- Package Social May 1. The Young People’s society of the Swedish church will give a package social at K. P. hall on Saturday evening, May Ist. The packages will be supplied by the ladies, which will be offered for sale. Lunch will be served and a yenerally enjoyable time is planned. Everybody is in- vited and all will be welcome. Mischievous Boys. “Boys will be boys” unless they are authoritively interfered with once in awhile. Just now the boys of Grand Rapids havea couple of new games of which they appear to be making a specialty. One is the marking up of buildings with colored paints. The public library is one of the buildings that has been attacked with decor- ations. Mrs. Huntley, the librarian, says she will enter formal complaint against children caught in the act of marking the building, and several owners of private property threaten to wollop the first kid caught operating op their premises with a chunk of chalk. The police areon the look- out for the miscreants, and if apre- nended will be dealt with savagely. The other game consits in the throw- ing of pebbles on the cement side- walks. This is a most excellent means by which to produce afew sprained ankles through accidently stepping) on the little stones. It should be stopped. The “Rubbish” Burner. This is the season when back yards are receiving their annual cleaning, and it is to be boped that every resi- dent will do his duty at the earliest possible moment. But in the name of everybody and everything that ab- hors filth, don’t try to burn the win- ter’s accumulation of refuse in your back yard. That’s even worse than leaving it undisturbed to dry out. The sickening stench thatis wafted into your neighbor’s home through Open windows and doors is more offen- sive and dangerous to the public health a thousand times than if the rubbish were left undisturbed, There is always a certain amount that can- not be consumed in this way and must eventually be hauled to the dumping grounds. When properly piled up the accumulation in the average yard can be all removed by a drayman in one load, for which only fifty cents is charged. Have it hauled out and be done with it, and don’t dub along all summer spend- ing your evenings trying to poke life intu a disease breading smudge and making the air intolerable for every resident in your vicinity. A Good Story Spoiled. “Oneof the veteran logging concerns of Wisconsin has been experimenting with the new patented Rhinelander living alone. Hehad been regarded for some time by neighbors as a harmless lunatic, and finally his actions became such that it was deemed advisable to have his case given official investigation. The jury, consisting of Drs. Russe}] and Gendron, found him to be insane and he was taken to Fergus Falls by Sheriff Riley. Bridges Need Repairing. Chairman Nisbett of the Grand Rapids town board, and Trustees McEwan and McDonald visited the two bridges across Prairie river east of town last week and found that both are very badly in need of im- mediate repairs. For some time complaints had been made to the board that the planks in the bridges had served their days of usefulness and should be replaced with new material. The board found this to be true, and itis probable that the necessary work will be done. The bridges are located east of the Ex- periment farm and at the old Leeman place. News. Are the Dams Open? ‘Samuel Simpson of Minneapolis, a logger who is operating in the vicinity of Bena, Minn., says there has been much rain in the territory of the up- per Mississippi and that the water is unusually high. He says the water in the xovernment reservoirs is three feet higher than usual at this time of the year, though the dams are open and the flowcf water through the dams is unobstructed. The Mis- sissippi river, Mr. Sampson says, will surely experience a higher flood than usual.” Interview with Sam Simp- son in Duluth News-Tribune. Re- spectfully referred to A. C. Bossard, manager of the Itasca Paper company of Grand Rapids. Municipal Ownership Pays. The city of Litchfield, which owns its own light and water plant, reports total receipts for last year to the amount of $13,198.99. _ It is interest- ing to note that of this amount $o9,- 698.99 came from private patrons and only $3,500 from the city’s general ner, stenographer for Judge Wnght. | ice-preserving compound on. logging Mr. Crowell has just completed a tour| roads with the most satisfactory re- of the western states and says he vis-| sults.

John Costello’s ice cream 1s about tne only particular brand called for in rand Rapids by those who can detect the difference between real cream and a decoction of compounds. It has been on the market about three weeks and notwithstanding the un- favorable weather conditions the de- mand has been far in excess of what he anticipated at the start. All dealers in the Western Mesaba towns are handling it, and towns to the west and east along the Great Northern have regular orders placed. Mr. James Butler of Superior, who has supervision of the manufacturing de- partment, evidently understands how to turn out a first-class article. If the product is kept up to its present high standard Mr. Costello need have no fear of competition from manu- facturers ot an inferior quality. He has contracts for the-entire output of cream from the Experiment farm and also from the Hartlev Island farm. These two dairy farms will not be able to supply a sufficient amount and Mr. Costello will con- tract for cream from other parties. He uses no decoctions in the manu- facture of ice cream. For Sale.
