TO RACE GRAND RAPIDS HORSES Trainer McGraw Shipped Skiddo, Better Promise and Exception to Sauk Centre, Minn., Tuesday Trainer Wm. McGraw departed for Sauk Centre, Tuesday, where he will enter three Itasca. county horses in the race meet which will be held at that place. They are: Skiddo, owned by Thomas Kerr; Better Promise.ow) ed by Henry Hughes; Exception, own ed by Dr. Clapper, Hibbing. These animals have demonstrated that they have speed to burn and it is expected that they will give a good account of themselves. From Sauk Centre the racers will be shipped to Rhinelander, Wis., Ironwood, Mich., Ashland, Wis., Hib- | bing and Superior. They will return to Grand Rapids in season for the county fair meet should _ sufficient money be put up. Trainer McGraw is a horseman of many years exper- ience and has a_ reputation as a jockey as well as being one of the best trainers in the northern part of the state. He is well acquainted with the racing history and pecul- arites of every speeder in the north- west and is amply qualified to see that the animals in his charge are given a square deal. During Mr. McGraw’s absence W. |B. Kiley will have charge of the training quarters at the fair grounds. Mr. Kiley is acknowledged to be one of the best jockeys in the northwest and what he does not know about horseflesh could be written in a very limited amount of space. He has ridden winners at every race held at Grand Rapids during the season, since his advent here and he has demonstrated that he knows every trick and turn of the “game.” WILL FIGHT THE R. R. PATROL LAW Railroads Will Test the Validity of Law Passed by the Last A news report from Bemidji to the Duluth Herald, says: “The railroads of Minnesota will fight the forest fire law enacted by the last legislature, and will make an effort to have it, or Parts of it, proven unconstitutional. The law requires the railroads to have a patrol on every mile of their line through the wooded districts dur- ing dry seasons, requires them to burn or remove all combustible ma- terial from their right-of-way, contain various other regulations intended to prevent the setting of fires by loco- motives, many of which are said to be obnoxious to the railroads. The fight on this provision of the forest fire law has already commenc- ed in Beltrami county, two cases wherein fines are imposed by a justice court on railroad companies been appealed, and the cases will come up at the September term of the district court for this county. The Crookston Lumber company as owners of the Wilton-Island Lake Logging railroads and the Great Nort ern railway were fined by justices of the peace for failure to properly patrol their lines in this section fires having been started from a locomo- tive, the fires spreading to timber and doing considerable damage. The fines were not paid and in each case the company appealed the case to the district court. There is no doubt as to the loco- motives that haul trains through this section having caused many of the fires that have burned over consider- able acres in ‘the past, although the vigilance of the local fire ranger dur- ; d ing the present year has caused less of this class of fires than ever before. It may be that the railroads are also offending by not having proper spark arresters on their locomotives. The Minneapolis & Rainy River railroad has been fined $100 on two counts under the state forest fire law It appealed the case as the North- ern Pacific did the other day. The Rainy Lake road was. brought into court in Itasca county for failure to have; a patrol along the line and for not centralizing men to fight incipi- emt forest fires. e The supreme court will be asked to pass upon the new law. SPECIAL MEETING OF SCHOOL BOARD Meeting Held Monday Evening to Open Bids For Transporting Pupils. | A special meeting of the school board of district No. 1 was held at, Central school Monday evening. It | being a special meeting, no bills were acted on. A bid was received from James | Ross for the transporting of pupils from Cohasset to Grand _ Rapids} schools, but as the bid was somewhat | indefinite, the matter was held up un til the board can communicate with Mr. Ross. The bid of J. H. Miller of $50 per ; month for transporting pupils from the McKinley school was accepted, | there being on other bids presented. Three bids were received for the ; transportation of pupils from the| Cowhorn school, that of C. W. Irwin | being $50, A. N. Philips $49 and C. | W. Enghusen $45. The bid of Mr. Enghusen being the lowest, he was given the contract. W. A. Thornberry’s bid of $60 per | month for transporting pupils from the Thorofare school was not accept- ed, the board feeling that the amount was entirely too large for the service rendered. Carl Schultz put in a bid of $45 per month for the transporting of pupils from Third River, but inasmuch as his own children are the only ones coming from that district, the board took the stand that the charge was entirely too high. The next regular meeting of the board will be held on Monday even- ing, September 5. TACONITE TO PLAY JUNIORS SUNDAY Juniors Are About $15 Behind the Game—Will Play at South Side Park. Arrangements have been made for a ball game between the Juniors of Taconite and Grand Rapids at the | South Side park for Sunday atfter- | noon, September 5, at 3:30 o’clock. This will be the last game of the sea- | son for the Juniors and it is hoped that all will turn out and witness the exhibition as they play the game like seasoned veterans and if only a little heavier would give the Grays a run for village honors. | The Juniors are about $15 behind | for expenses incurred during the sea- son and all who are lovers of the | national game should show approba- | tion by lending their presence and financial support. The Juniors have not lost a game during the entire sea- | son and can justly claim the cham- pionship of northern Minnesota. Agricultural Educator Dies. A. J.
