He leaves on Monday next. The band played at the Ogema last Sunday and there were a goodly number of visitors at that popular resort, but only a fraction of what would have been had the day not been so chilly and threntening of rain. The Ogema, under the mana- gement of A. G. Hachey, is rapidly becoming popular and promises to be the best patronized summer hotel in this section. F. J. Feeley, the Swan River logger and old-time resident of that section, was a business visiter in Grand Rapids Monday. Mr. Feeley says he 1s put- ting inan easy summer at farming and gardening, preparatory to next winter’s work in the woods. He says woods products are likely to be main- tained at good pnices, if railroad building materializes during the next few years according to predictions of those who are supposed to know. Mrs. K. C.

Mrs. Lent says that Mrs. Toole, whose health has been very poor for some time past, is feeling much im- proved as a result of the summer weather. STEEL CREW NOW INTO HILL CITY An important event for the north part of Aitkin county was the arrival] of the track layers at Hill City last week on the new Mississippi Hill City & Western road from Swan River on the Great Northern. This magnificent territory. rich in natural beauty and hardwood timber has long been neglected because of jack of transportation but now with its new railroad and an extensive hardwood factory it willdevelop with leaps and bounds. Regular train service is expected to be installed about June first. Congratulations are due to the Hill City country and its boosters. A Formidable Competitor. The enterprise bas no doubt alot of people have found in the post office boxes a circular like the one that reached us, offering to print stamped envelo}s with name and ad- dress in the upper left-hand coner. It was a handsome circular, printed in colors: and the offer to print the envelopes said it is free of .charge, provide you trade a certain quantity. Uncle Sam isa rather formidable competitor of any private job print- ing establishment, and is especially a formidable competitor of the average weekly newspaper that usually seeks to add something to its limited an- nual revenue by doing as much job printing as it can attract in its direc- tion, from the fact that he buys in rather larger quantities than is the case with a country newspaper, and in addition to that he furnishes the printed envelope for a very slight ad- vance, if any, over what the private job printer bas to pay for the envel- opes themselves. Uncle Sam didn’t have to pay postage upon sending out his circu- Juars advertising these cheap en- velopes, and the post office box that he had the circular distributed into for us costs us three dollars a year. it’s a wonder the circular wasn’t stamped “postage due,” but then we wouldn't have taken it out. If we seuta circular without postage, it wonldn’t travel very far. But notwithstanding all the advan- tages he has. Uncle Sam can’t do any- thing but Jose money on this proposi- tion. If we did it we would go broke; but behind Uncle Sam’s competing print- shop is the U.S. treasury, and if he Joses money on his cut-rate printing busivess he pays it up out of the treasury. There is the traiff to fill the treasury, and there is the ‘‘pee- pul” to pay the traiff, so your Uncle can never go broke, like the Enter- prise would. But, honest, how would a few other business men like to be up againstthe same opposition?—St. Ignace (Mich.) Enterprise. The Kicker. Iam not able toname the credit for the following editorial, for the reason that itis unknown to me, but it is too good to lose. The kicker isa hard nut to crack, but this unkown editor hits him a square rap. He says: A short time ago a wild ass from Persia was brought to the United States.on the steamship ‘“Mesaba.” But just before he was unloaded from the vessel he took a notion to kick. The ass wore himself out trying to kick the ship to pieces, but all he succeeded in doing was to make a few dents on the vessel and ia killing himself. Instead of burying the ass atsea, the captain had him dumped into the furnace. So the ass became fuel to help the vesselon its way. Every community basa human ass that kicks at everything. He feels called of God and commissioned of man to kick at everything in the community. Such a kicker has his mission. He does some good in the world, but it isafter he 1s dead. The knocker or kicker builds up nothing. He is a parasite upon the community, feeding upon the rights and interests of others. But there is a cheerful thought connected with the kicker. He soon kicks himself clear out of the community. Give him a little time and he will kick himself to death like the wild ass from Persia. There is not person less respected in the community than the kicker. He has but few real friends and they are ashamed to have his name men- tioned in connection with theirs. The kicker stands in the way of all progress. He is met with in all phases of society, in business, in polities, and in religion. So each community should remember that the kicker will be there. But be nov discouraged, the kicker helps you after all—for he magnifies your faults, so you will be able to see them your- self. Get the Right Kind. Pendergast, the pioneer horticul- turist of Lake Superior. wishes to say to all who will want choice hardy fruit or ornamental trees, shrubs, vinesor bulbs, that he will visit Grand Rapids this summer as usual; Jater in the season and asks all who prefer dealing with and old nursery man who will furnish them with trees or bushes raised in the state, and with such varieties as he has tested and knows are suited to the climate and seasons of Northern Minnesota instead of buying stock raised in a warmer climate and sold by men who know nothing about trees and shrubs, to wait until he comes, when he will assist in seclec- ing such kinds as will do the best for them. Brought Home Dead. When the Great Northern arrived today it bore the remains of Joseph F, Lalla, the ten year old son of Mrs. Johnson, who liyes just north of town. The deceased was the son of the late Matt Lalla. He had been ill for only a few days, the trouble being diabetis. He had been ailing aday or two when he expressed a desire to go on a visit to his aunts, who live at Water- ville. He left for that place Tuesday of Jast week. Word was received yesterday that the boy was dead. The remains were taken from the train to Itasca cemetery for interment, 5. |. Blessed is the town that is not Quality Up, Quantity Down. - cursed with an overabundance of newspapers. One newspaper is good, two may be profitable, but it takesa very big place to endure more. Duluth has had two very excellent newspapers and the reason is that they were two and not three or fouror more. The range towaos have newspapers that are far more enterprising, and conse- quently worth far more to the towns they are published in, than any other section of the state. The range press is far superior to the country press of any other considerable section of the state, and the main reason for that fact is that the range towns have pever been cursed with tuo many newspapers. In Hibbing, Virginia and Eveleth, two papers have existed and circulated among a population varying from 8,000 to 12,000. The papers haye prospered and have been useful to the communities in which they have exised. At thesame time in scores of towns one-half and one- fourth the sizeof these places, and even in smaller towns, three and four papers have dragged out a miserable existance and been a positive burden to the towns. Within the past year the number of papers in Minnesota has decreased about 50, and there are sizas that many more will dropout soon. The state is to be congratulated upon the fact —Hibbing Tribune. Cars Cut Off Leg. Yesterday forenoon J. Wypear, a far- mer residing on the Swan River-Hib- bing branch of the Great Northern, attempted to board a passing train when he lost{his hold and falling under the wheels was dangerously injured in both legs. He was brought to Grand Rapids and taken to St, Bene- dict’s hospital. Dr. Russell found it necessary to amputate one leg. The other leg is badly fractured, but may be saved. The injured man is said to be the father of a large family anda hard-working, industrious citizen, He was a trespasser and hence cannot bring action against the railway com- pany for damages. i OE i a Injured in Ditch. John Decker, who lives on the South Side, met with a serious acci- dent Monday afternoon while at work in a sewer trench near the High school building. The ditch was only about five feet deep when the dirt caved in burying him at the bottom. Ed. Dickinson, who was working with Decker come to his relief at once. He was unconscience when dug out and remained in that condition for some time. There were no broken bones, and unless he was injured in- ternally no serious results will follow, The injured man was taken to St. Benedict’s hospital where he was resting well yesterday, except for the right arm which he was unable to raise without assistance. lic SALES 60 PIECES Wash Goods INCLUDING Percales Ginghams Lawns Organdies Waistings RANCINC IN PRICE FROM 15¢ to 25¢ O'DONNELL Friday Only ARRIVING DAILY AT THE Pioneer Store The following lines, together with many others not mentioned, now ready for your inspection : In all the Latest Styles for Ladies - L.
