OLIVER H.STILSON HAS PASSED AWAY Early Resident of Grand Rapips Dies in Oklahoma City and is Buried in Seneca, Kas. Oliver H.{Stilson, for a number of years postmaster of Grand Rapids and one of the early settlers of this town, died at his home in Oklohoma City, Oakl., on April 24. The following is taken from the Seneca, Kas., Sen- tinel: O. H. Stilson, who will be remem- bered by the older residents of Seneca, died at his home in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, last Saturday, April 24th and was brought to Seneca for burial, and funeral services being held Monday afternoon at the Uni- versalist church after the arrival of the 2:45 train which bore the funeral party. Rev. S. L. Titus, pastor of the church conducted a short service and a quartet composed of O. F. Winship, Mrs: C. C. Mason, Miss Grace Carman and Tom Scott sang three selections. Burial was made in the family lot in the Seneca cemetery. Oliver H. Stilson was born in McHenry County, Illinois in July, 1840. He was married to Miss Parmelia Rashway about forty-two years ago. They came to Seneca over thirty years ago, Mr. Stilson engag- ing in the lawand real estate business and Mrs. Stilson teaching two grades of the public school in-the Van Loan School building. They had three children, Lyman, Ralph and Florence. Lyman was killedin a wheat shaft accident at the elevator during their residence in Seneca and Ralph died after they left Seneca. The daugh- ter, Florence. (Mrs. Frank Wells) of Oklahoma City, with the widow, survive. About twenty years «go, Mr. and Mrs. Stilson removed from Seneca to Spokane, Washington and later toGrand Rapids, Minnesota. At the later place, Mr. Stilson was one of the promoters of the town and became its postmaster. Mrs, Stilson during” ber residence there, was county superintendent of Itasca county of which Grand Rapids is the county seat. About ten years ago, they wentto Oklahoma City to re- side near theirdaughter. Mr. Stilson had been a great sufferer for along time with palsy which followed a paralytic stroke and his death was not unexpected. Mrs. Stilson and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Wells accom- panied the body here. CASS COUNTY IS TAKING NOTICE Action Takin by Itasca County Commissioners Causes Our Neigh- bors to Consider Settlers. Ata recent meeting of the Grand Rapids Commercial club, President B.C. Finnegan called tothe atten- tion of that body the urgent necessity of a bridge over the Mississippi river in the vicinity of Balleclub for the accommodation of a large number of settlers who reside in Cass county but who do their trading either at Ballclub, Deer River or Grand Rapids. These settlers have been ignored by the Cass county authorities for many years, notwithstanding their repeated appeals for relief. Presi- dent Finnegan stated the case and recommended that a committee be appointed to appeare before the Itasca county board and suggest the advisability of this county offering to bear one half the expense of con- structing the bridge in question. His recommendation was adopted and as aresult the board authorized Auditor Spang, by resolution, to sub- mit a proposition to the Ca8s county commissioners. This has been done and as a consequence we find the following in the Walker Pilot: “The settlers in the Ballclub dis- trict who have been packing in sup- plies for the past fifteen to eighteen years and patieotly waiting for cour- ty aid to make a road for them, have reached an ultimatum. They pro- pose to separate from Cass county en- tirely and be annexed to Itasca coun- ty. The ltasca people have promised to assist these settlers in getting a special act through the legislature, divorcing them from this county. What the settlers want is a bridge across the Mississippi near Ballclub which gives them Grand Rapids fora market. “Matt Barnes, one of the staunch settlers appeared before the county board this week and made known the Tbe commissioners appointed Spen- needs of his neighbors up that way. |, cer and Burns to investigate. Itasca county has promised to stand half the expense of construction. Some of the best soil in the county 1s to be found in the Ballclub district and the townships involved are of con- siderable valuation. It behooves the commissioners to act at once.’ The Grand Rapids papers, the Indepen- dent and Herald-Review, are helping along the agitation, and Itasca coun- ty,” well knowing the value of these townships are particularly anxious that section be annexed to our boun- dary line neighbor.” SOSCCOCOOOS COSCO OCO BASSBROOK LIVER Y Will run a buss between Cohasset and Grand Rapids, leaving the Bass Brook hotel at Cohasset at 3:10 p. m., and Dibbert’s corner, Grand Rapids, at 9;15 a. m. ¢ LET US SERVE You Livery Rigs for Deer River or Grand Rapids Day or Night.

Much labor, much travail and much anxiety has been wasted if the people of Northern Minnesota have not convinced the people of the rest of the state that they ask only fair play and justice. It that conviction is not yet ac- complished, the work must be taken up again and continued until there is no question that it is successful. Northern Minnesota asks no special privileges or exemptions in taxation, legislative representation, appropria- tions or anything else. ‘ In taxation, it asks only to be taxed as the restof the state taxes itself. It asks to be granted the same pro- TASCA ACNE 1§ GRAND RAPIDS - MINN. portion from the taxes raised upon {its property that other parts of the |state receive from the taxes levied | upon their property. It needs more, |because its task of developing this |part of the state, which but yester-| day was a wilderness, is greater than| any other part uf the state has ever jencountered: but it asks no more, land it will be content with the same | share that other sections get. | | The people of Northern Minnesota | ask nothing but equality in taxatién.

Northern Minnesota wants to be taxed just as other sections are taxed, and 1t wants to be represented in the law-making body just as much as it is entitled to, and no more. Northern Minnesota is proud of the state, and wants to be a part of it. It wants to be considered as a part of the state household. It does nut ask to sit at the head of the table, but it does ask that it be not treated as a poor relation, and ignominously placed with the vassals in the kitchen, It asks those who have harbored plans unfriendly to this section to make an effort to throw down the bars of sectionalism, to look at state problems with statewide vision, and to see from its viewpoint, fora moment it least, those questions j that have become sectional, but that ought to be considered in the light of a common interest. This ins’t asking much. It isa re- quest humble enougb to receive con- jsideration from the most unfeeling landlord; surely it ought to be con- sidered by those who are our fellow | citizens.—Duluth Herald.
