SCHOOL BOARD HOLDS MEETING Board Will Soon Take Trip Through District No. 1 and Inspect the Various Schools. A meeting of the school board of district No. 1 was held at Central school. Monday evening and several matters were taken up and discusseq. A communication was received from E. H. Dorothy, who petitioned the board to haul his son to the Mc- Kinley school, which would compell the van driver to make an, addition- al trip of sixteen miles each day. The petition was laid on the table. A letter was also received from the teacher at Bergvillefasking the board t make some arrangements for send- ing the children of Mrs. Smith to school. The board will look into the matter. Mrs. M. Stapleton was appointed janitor at Cohasset at a salary of $35 per month.. V. Harrington was given the Jb of clearing and cleaning the grounds of the Harrington school at Swan, River for the sum of $40 He also offered to furnish cordwood but the board thought his price was to high. The fourth room at the Cohasset school will be fitted with a heating piant, which will put that building in good condition for the ‘inter. All residents of Grand Rapids who desire to enter their children in the kindergarden class this term must send them on or before September 2i, as after that time beginners will not be taken. The children must be five years of age. The board will soon make an inspection trip through the district and examine into the needs of the various schools. The usual grist of bills were allowed. HOLMAN WANTS A GENERAL STORE Splendid Opening For An Enter- prising Merchant Offered at the New Mining Town. Som eenterprising merchant is miss ing a golden opportunity to establish a thriving business. The village of Holman’ is now without a general store, and it is safe to assure that there is no more inviting location Dow open in northern Minnesota. The trade tributary to this new mining town is enough to justify the carry- ing of a large general stock of mer- chandise. The immediate surround- ings are such that the trade will naturally center at that point. Why the splendid opportunity has been overlooked is a mystery when so many men are looking for just such an opening as is here presented. Mr. J. D. Powers who formerly conduct- ed a general store at Holman, will give his personal attention to his new business at Marble where he has just completed the erection of a new two story building in the business center of the town. The fact that he has gone to Marble from Holman is no argument against the latter place as a desirable business point. Mr. Powers has owned a lot in Marbl since the platting of the town and had intended to locate there as soon as business appeared to justify the move.. COLERAINE MEN BUY CASH STORE T. A. McHugh’s Cash Grocery Purchased By Arsenault & Cashin—Now In Possesion. A deal was consumated last week whereby T. A. McHugh disposed of the Cash grocery, located on Kindred avenue between Second and Third streets, to Arsenault & Cashen of Coleraine. Mr. McHugh retains pos- session of the building which he has; leased tq the new firm. Mr. Arsenault has had charge of the Hermitson brothers’ store at Coleraine for the past two years and Mr. Cashen is not unknown in this vicinity, having also been employed at Coleraine. As soon as a suitable residence can be secured Mr. Ars- enault will remove his family here. Mr. McHugh has been in business at Grand Rapids for the past five years during which time he has worked up a very lucrative trade. His reason for selling out is that he has been offered a good posi- tion with a Duluth wholesale house, which it is probable he will accept. This will necessitate the removal of Mr. and Mrs. McHugh to Duluth which will be greatly regretted by their Grand Rapids friends. The new proprietors thoroughly un- derstand the needs of people in the grocery line and will undoubtedly not only retain all old customers, but also add many new ones. That these gentlemen are embarking in business at Grand Rapids augurs well for their faith in the future prosperity of the village, and that their judgment is right, time will demonstrate to their complete satisfaction. Sewer Soon Completed. Contractor Passard will soon have the sewer on Hoffman avenue com- pleted. The sewer runs two blocks north from the corner of Hoffman avenue andN inth street and one block west is laid with ten inch pip- ing. Mr. Passard has been delayed waiting for a trap for the catch basffi and manholes, but they will arrive in a few days. In the meantime he has connected up the B.C. Finnegan, A. L. Roecker, George Arscott, Chas. Myer, C. T. Kennedy and W. A. Ross: man residences. He expects to. have the contract complete by September 15th. COUNTRY SCHOOLS WILL SOON OPEN (Continued from first page) of the legislature makes it neces- sary for teachers to file their certi- ficates with the county superintend- ent on or before the first day of the opening of school. If this is not done an injunction can be issued, should anyone care to take the trouble, re- straining them from drawing their salaryd Another law passed at the last ses- sion requires the forming of teachers, reading circles throughout the var- ious counties. These reading circles are in reality correspondence clubs for enabling teachers in the country districts to keep abreast with the times. The state secretary of the reading circle will, on recommendation of the county superintendent, issue a certi- ficate for each book read. When a teacher receives four certificates, he or she is given a diploma. The state board recommends that teachers earn these certificates in lieu of taking the professional test. After January 1, 1910, the department of public in- struction will demand two certificates from second grade and four from first grade teachers. Each year a higher standard is set, which must be attained by ‘prospective ‘teachers, therefore it behoves all who would some day b came public instructors to pursue their studies, while. in school with diligence and perseverance. Mrs. Booth urges all teachers in the country districts to see that pupils are made aware of the boys’ and girls’ industrial contest at the county fair. This is open to boys and girls in Itasca county under eighteen years of age. First, second and third prizes of $3, $2 and $1 each, respectively, will be given on the following vegetables and cereals: Oats, corn, early potatoes, late po- tatoes, table carrots, stock carrots, red onions, and yellow onions. A structure in which the boys’ and girls’ exhibits will be placed, will soon be completed and it is hoped that all will take hold and see that it is made a success. Died at the Hospital. Charles Quehar, aged 72 years, died at St. Benedict’s hospital Mon- day morning of general paralysis. The deceased had been a resident of Grand Rapids for a number of years, and was commonly known as “Dutch Charlie.” He was employed at com- mon labor, when he worked, and ap- parently done no harm in the world except to himself, and that was through excessive drinking.

LINER WRECKED, ALL HANDS SAFE PASSENGERS AWAKENED- BY CRASH OF LAURENTIAN AT CAPE RACE. VESSEL IS A COMPLETE WRECK All Take to Life Boats—Constant Bail- Ing Keeps Them Afloat.—Several Persons Who Fall Into Sea Are Rescued With Ropes. St. Johns, N. F., Sept. 7.—Thrilling Bcenes attended the loss of the Allan line steamer Laurentian, bound from Boston for Glasgow, which piled upon the rocks near Cape Race during a dense fog at 6 o’clock in the morning. The vessel is a total wreck, but the 50 passengers and 40 members of the crew esaped to land after a trying experience. The Laurentian was making about 13 knots an hour when she struck, the rocks. The ship rebounded heav- ily, the shock throwing most of the passengers, who. were asleep, from their berths. They stampeded the the deck without stopping to dress, and for half an hour much excite- ment prevailed. Captain Imrie, and his officers, however, succeeded in quieting all hands. A stiff northwest wind banged the ship about and the situation became so serious at 7 o’clock that orders were given to put the boats overboard. Twenty-five of the passengers, most: ly women and children, were placed in the first boat, but unluckily the bow tackle collapse and several per- sons were thrown into the sea. Captain Imrie had ropes thrown over Millinery Opening. Ehly, Doran & Joyce have opened their millinery in the Lalliberte resi- dence on Kindred avenue, between Fifth and Sixth streets and will have an unusally large stock of both hats and trimmings to select from.

The loss is partly; covered by insurance. The origin of the side and within 15 minutes those who had been immersed were drawn to the deck. Finally six more life boats were put over and the passengers transferred to them. The seats, however, con- stantly drenched the shipwreck peo- ple, and it was only by constant bail- Ing the life boats were kept afloat. About 10 o’clock after the boats had been adrift two hours, a boat from & nearby fishing village was sighted. The fishing boat piloted the life craft to a harbor where the passengers and crew were cared for by the fisher folk. A steamer left St. ohns late to bring the shipwrecked people to this port.
