| a eee WILL ASK FOR BIDS ON. STREET PAVING (Continued from page 1) end it would be a dividend-paying investment from aay view point. It has been stated on what is considered excellent authority that the Great Northern people have expressed a willingness to put in the parkway without any expense to the village. 1f this is true the enterprise now being agitated for street improvement is given additional incentive. Sucha public park extending through the very center of the town would be worth far more in the end than if the railway company could be made to bear one-half the expense of putting in a first-class paved street. Property owners on the south side of the street will be required to pay one-half the cost of paving, the balance tu be borne by the village at large. The amount required of the individual taxpayer not owning property on the streets proposed to be improved would be comparatively small, yet when looked at in the aggregate the total seems large, and especially in view of the fact that taxes are already con- sidered sufficiently burdensome. How- ever this may be, there is no other plan yet devised whereby towns can be built and communities grow rich. At the meeting Wednesday eveninz |, it was decided to. have specifications drawo by the Duluth Engineering company, after which the council will advertise for bids. This plan has been adopted as the only means whereby the actual cost of the im- provements can be ascertained. The whole matter will be taken before the Commercial club for consideration | when the council has gathered the desired information. | President Bossard stated at the Commercial club meeting Friday evening last that it was the desire of the council to get the voice of the people before taking action. Another matter considered was the furnishing of a day current at the municipal electric plant. For some time there has been considerable de- mand for electzic. power and Superin- tendent Garris was instructed to give the subject some investigation as to the probable increase cost thereof and to get as near as possible the proba- ble increased patronage that could be secured. The superintendent was not present with 4 report at the meeting Wednesday evening, but he had looked up the proposition pretty thor- oughly as to the probable demand and the additional expense, and had talked with individual members of the council. No extra help will be required, and the only extra cost would be for fuel and oil. This would not be great as steam is required all day long whether the current is on or off. It was decided to turn on a day current, beginning May Ist. A. L. Thwiog was appointed vil- lage attorney for the easuing year, and the First State bank was desig: nated as the depository for village funds, after furnishing a satisfactory bond. The next meeting of the council will be held May 10, For Sale.

LYNCH 1S NOW IN THE COUNTY JAIL —+—- Foolish Argument Causes Death of One and Imprisonment of Other~ Hearing of Assailant Net Yet Heard Before Justice. Sheriff Riley was notified by tele- phone last Thursday eveaing that a murder had been committed at Hol- man. He immediately drove over to the scene of trouble and brought Dan Lynch to Grand Rapids, where he pow languishes in the county jail awaiting a hearing betore a justice on 2 serious charge. District court being in session County Attorney Price has not had time to take the matter up. An account of the affair is given as follows by an eye witness : In an altercationnear Holman, Dan Lynch, a switchman, hit John O’Neil, a surface worker at the Holman mine, with a rock. The rock struck O’Neil’s jaw and he died five minutes later. The fracas occurred shortly before 6 o’clock Thursday evening. Lynch was arrested and placed in the Bovey jail. A coroner’s jury re- turned a verdict to the effect that hands of Dan Lynch.” name of McBoyd, in a boarding house. the hammer and O'Niel was lying in a bunk. He became interested in the controversy and left the bunk, asking Lynch if he ever lifted the hammer. Lynch and O’Neil wrangled and be- O'Niel’s trousers. O'Neil is said to have offered to fight Lynch, and the latter left the house and stood at the foot of the stairs leading to it. O’Neil came to the door and said he would come down if Lynch would move away. How- ever, Lynch reached up and tried to seize O'Neil by the legs and the latter kicked at him. Lyncb left the stairs and picked up a rock and O’Neil closed the door and tried to hold it against the efforts of Lynch to open it. O’Neil had been sick and the strength of Lynch gradu- ally forced open the door. As it swung inward Lyuch threw the rock which struck O’Neil on the jaw. O’Neil fell over a bench and died five minutes later. Men in the house bathed his face in cold water for halt an hour, while others were eating in the same room.

Gayner, of Litchfield, Mian., who was sent to Grand Rapids as deputy public examiner to examine the books and accounts of school district No.1. completed his work several days ago. While bere Mr. Gayner invested in 200 acres of farm land. His report has not yet been received by County Auditor Spang, but is shortly expected to be for- warded from the office of the state public examiner. In writing to his home paper, the Litchfield Indepen- dent. Mr. Gayer says: “Having spent nearly a month now checking up one school district, some facts relative'to this county may he of interest to your readers to show that this is not entirely a vast wilder- ness, but quite the contrary, one of the most progressive northern hustle- ing municipalities. School district No. 1. of Itasca county was organized in 1887 (September) and origiaally included all of Itasca and Koochi- ching counties. On the formation of the latter county, schools were sep- erated from the district and several other districts have been formed, some of which contain a taxable val- uation of nearly ten million dollars. Districts No. 1 has at the present time a taxable valuation of 95,055,- 837.00; a school tax levy of $87,566.54; three city schools, with acorps of twenty-four teachers; and forty-six outside schools, maintaining in all forty-nine schools and about seventy- nine teachrs, with a monthly pay roll of $4,736.94. “The city schools are something the people here can well afford to be proud of, and size of place considered they will compare favorable with any schools in the state in finish and equipment. I bad an opportunity to witness a fire drill in one of the schools with about three hundred scholars, and the school rooms were ail cleared in forty-five seconds from Joho Bilodeau of Blackduck, an ex~’ perienced restaurant man, happened to stop off in Grand Rapids about two weeks ago and took dinner at the I. X. L. Restaurant. The place ap- an air of prosperity. He was favora- bly impressed with the business out- look, and inquired of Charley White, the Chinese proprietor, if he wanted to sell out. Charley said he would, and named a price that was by no means below value. Mr. Bilodeau promptly accepted the offer and closed the deal by paying eight hundred dol- lars cash for the stock, fixtures, etc. The rooms occupied are rented from M. McAlpine. Since taking charge Mr. Bilodeau says he bas been doing a good business, even better than he expected. and is well pleased with his bargain. He is rated as a first- class caterer, knows just what the public desires in his line and is al- ways prepared to serve in a manner that gives satisfaction. While Mr. Bilodeau was not personally acquaint- ed with Grand Rapids he knew the town by reputation and had the idea firmly fixed in his mind that this vil- lage has the brightest prospects of any town on the line between Duluth and Grand Forks.
