DELCOUR TO RESIGN POSITION Local Manager Mesaba Telephone Company Resigns; To Take Effect August 1. W. N. Delcour, who has been local manager of the Mesaba_ telephone company at Grand Rapids for the past three years and a half, has resigned his position, the resignation to take effect on August 1. Mr. Delcour has been in the tele- phone business continuously for the last nineteen years, twelve of which have been spent in the ser- vice of the Mesaba people. When interviewed on the subject, Mr. Delcour stated that he did not know at the present time what busi- ness he would engage in, but his intention is to stjll make Grand Rap- ids his home. He owns some tim- ber land in this vicinity and will en- deavor to clear it this winter. He also has other business matters to attend to which will occupy a share of his time. During his residence in Grand Rap- ids he has made many friends both in a business and social way and has given general satisfaction as manager of the local telephone system. He is public spirited, of sterling intregrity, and any city could well be proud to number him among her citizens, The Herald-Review congratulates Grand Rapids on the fact that Mr. Delcour and his estimable family are to remain residents of the city. At this writing it is not known who will succeed Mr. Delcour as local manager. | the Fun, Oh Fun at the Round-Up Wed- nesday, August 4th, GRAND RAPIDS HERALD-REVIEW WEDNESDAY, JULY 21, 1909 An Early Settler. Mrs. W. F, Wilson and daughter Ruby, of Remer, Cass county, were visitors in Grand Rapids for a few days, returning home Saturday morn- ing. Mr. Wilson and his family have lived on their Cass county home- stead for nineteen years, being among the earliest settlers in that locality. When they selected the 160 acre tract that has since been their home it was a wilderness far from civiliza: tion. They were surrounded by all inconveniences and _ hardships that the early settlers must contend with, but they bravely faced the task |: of overcoming these difficulties ana | how well they have succeeded is shown in the present condition of a money making farm. The Soo railroad is building through Mr. Wil- son’s land and it is altogether likely. that a station will be located there- on. At any rate the station will be in that immediate vicinity. This was Mrs. Wilson’s second visit to Grand Rapids in the nineteen years of her residence in Cass County. Arrested For Setting Fire. S. Schumacker, who has been en- gaged to take charge of the manual training department of the Grand Rap- ids schools for the coming year, was arrested Friday on a charge of set- ting a forest fire He was taken be- fore Judge Huson Saturday and was bound over to the grand jury and his bonds were fixed at $500.00, which he furnished. Mr. Schumacker owns a forty acre clearing near Bass Lake and was cleaning up the brush on is tract when the fire, which he is supposed to have set, burned up the dwelling of a homesteader by the name ef Moore and three hundred ties. Mr. Schumaker did not take the stand in his own behalf, neither did he offer any explanation, but it is thought that he was burning up the brush on his land and the fire got beyond his control. Rueben nnd His Sweetheart. There is no kind of a play that is so popular-as a down east comedy- drama, because all of the characters are people you see and meet in every day country life. Everybody knows everybody’s business. Reuben and his sweetheart is everybody’s play. It is as fresh as a field of new mown hay, and the old cross roads are seen in the special scen- ery, and when you have seen this fine production it will make you live better and be better. The company carries an excellent band and orchestra, and the whole organization will be a theatrical and musical treat. Seats now on sale at the Itasca Mercantile Co’s store.

Instead of rustling around to take careof what business there is, some people go sit down and mope over dull times. If a customer does happen to drop into one of these ‘‘duil} times” stores, he actually gets fright- ened out of purchasing as much as he originally intended to buy, because things look so blue. He catches the spirit of the store and resolves to hang on to all his money with a death grip, even if his buisness goes to pieces on account of running short of goods to fill up emptv shelves. Tell a man he is sick, keep it up, and you will have him in the hospi- tal.— Bemidji Daily Pioneer. See Who Is Coming. Reuben and his sweetheart. The Management have been particularly fortunate in securing for the princi- pal comedy roles two fun-makers of metropolitan fame, namely, Mr. Dan Malloy, one of New York’s most popu lar character comedians, who with his natural humor, his inimitable pranks and original songs, convulses the audience at every turn, and Miss Hazel Corinne, whose reputation as a “kid” impersonator, places her far above the standard set by others of the “Sis Hopkins” variety. Do not miss seeing these clever artists, as we know you will appreci- ate their endeavors to please yon. Opera House, Friday, July 23. Chapter 22 of the Revised Laws of Minnesata, 1905, entitled “Forestry and fire wardens,” requires the Forestry Commission to prepare an abstract of the penal laws re- lating to forest and prairie fires and it may require any county board to cause at least three weeks published notice thereof to be given.
