THE HERALD-REVIEWIS THE Official Paper of Irasca County. RRAND RAPIDs, COHASSET. Keewartin, | NASHWAUK, HOLMAN. Official Paper of Village of Official Paper of U, S. District Court in Bankruptey Proceedings. More About the Everglades. John J. C. Davis, who was sent down by the first Itasca club of Florida Everglade land-buyers to ex- amine the proposition, returned on Monday from a second trip to that wonderful country. He _ inspected conditions on the east coast as far south as Jensen then drove west a- cross the Everglades to Tantite on the north shore of Okeechobee, where he took a motor boat and after visit- ing all points of interest about the great lake, repeated his sail down th Caloosahatchee river to Ft. Meyers and by rail home. He was amazed at growth of vege- tation since last trip, and the pro- ss of the dredges on the various were deserting the Flagler railway interests that had headed the opposi- tion to reclaimation of the Everglade —convinced by actual demonstration. —and were turning from politics to the material development of state. Even the railroads had switched— and were pulling with the state com- missioners. He visited several North Dakota farmers, who were happy and pros- perous: One remarked; “If the folks up there understood the situation, Dakota would be depopulated, they would all flock here.” Another said; “TI shall never own another overcoat— the moths destroyed the one I wore in fighting the blizzards in old Da- kota, and I shall never go back, this country beats them all.” Maj. Cooley, who has charge of the few contracts assigned to Itasca county in the great opening in Flori- da, reports that all have been taken except the few assigned to Marble and Grand Rapids; that he has not attended to these because of ‘the ill- ness of a friend; that the manage- ment has asked the return of all un- sold contracts, as they are needed elswhere. Consequently those who desire one must secure them before the first of the month, as the sale so far as it effects this county will then close. Applications can be sent to him in care of this office.

The Grand Rapids regulars went down to defeat at the hands of the Deer River team at Deer River Sun- day by a score of 8 to 2. Up to the beginning of the sixth inning neither team had scored, but some costly er-! rors on the part of the regulars gave Deer River the game. Kadro,_ the Indian pitcher, who played with Granc Rapids last season, is now with the Deer River bunch and his curves are as hard to hit as of yore. Boyle, the one-armed pitcher from Duluth, who pitched for the regulars, played a magnificent game. Grand Rapids made only two safe hits during the game, Boyle and McLachlan each securing a two-bagger. The Deer River team will play a return game here Sunday, September 19, which will wind,up the season as far as the regulars are concerned. They have been very unfortunate this season, losing the major number of games played, but the association is’ entirely free from debt and_ will doubtless regain its former reputation News of the Week er Told The song of the hammer and saw is heard in all directions, and five carpenters are busily engaged in the erection of the new hotel.

DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE GAME Amateur Aeronaut’s Arm _ Broken, Body Bruised, Brain Reeling Acci dent Follows First Attempted Flight at Hempstead Plain. New York, . A frightened amateur, sitting like a wooden man, went up in Glenn H. Curtiss’ aero- plane, which hovered a moment in mid-air and then crashed to earth. The would-be aviator was lifted un- conscious from the twisted frame, his left arm broken, his left thumb dislo- cated, his body bruised and his brain reeling. His injuries, however, are not serious. It was a member of the society, Al- exender Williams, 42 years old, who was injured. Aviator Loses Self Control. Witnesses of the accident say it was merely a case of man attempting something which taxes the nerves, the body and the brain simultaneously, and that Williams simply had stage fright. Parting Words of Caution. Arrived at the starting point, Wil- liams took his seat in the machine and with parting words of caution to keep it close to the ground, started away. he aeroplane glided swiftly over the ground on its light running wheels, then soared gracefully upward. Wil- liams sat apparently motionless and made no effort to manipulate the rud- der to keep the craft from rising. Consequently it began shooting up- ward, turning at the same time toward the right like a ship unsteered. When it had attained a height of about 30 feet the dip to the right be- came dangerous and the aeroplane, reeling, began its fall. The descent was not rapid, but the impact was sufficient to shatter a number of ribs, breaking both the left and right wing tips and the front con- trol. Wen it rolled over the engine con- tinued to work and the propeller was shattered as it struck the ground. A week’s work at least will be re- quired to patch up the flyer.
