MARBLE Building operations on the new Mar ble school house are practically sus- pended on account of the failure of the Andrews Heating company of ‘Minneapolis to fulfill their contract and install the heating system. Al- though the Andrews people were aw- ardedj the contract last July, the board of education has been unable to get any work done, only part of the material being yet on the ground. It was hoped to have the Marble school ready for occupancy by Jan. 1st, but it ‘will not pe possible to move in until the close of the school year. The failure to get the building ready in contract time is proving a great inconvenience as school room conditions are very crowded and the attendance and the teaching corps rapidly increasing. The Marble Ski club held its an- nual meeting Wednesday evening at the club rooms in the town hall. A spirited election was held, resulting as follows: J. E. Gravel, president; J. P. Crosgrove, secretary; W. E. Bo™ den, treasurer; C. T. Beale, H. C. Dudley, Durant Barcley, directors. About 80 members were present. Afte the election a banquet and smoker were enjoyed at the Marble hotel. The enthusiasm shown at this meet- mg imsures a strong delegation to the Coleraine tournament in Febru- ary. A movement was started toward the erection. of a large club house on the shore of Twin lakes just a mile west of town. The regular annual meeting of the stockholders of the First State bank of Marble, will be held in the bank- ing rooms fron{ 9 o'clock a.m. to 4 o'clock p. m. on Tuesday, January 11th for the election of directors and such other business as may regular- ly come before the meeting. Mayne Stanton, son of Judge Stan- ton, came to the city Thursday even- ing from Marble, where he has been in the employ of the Oliver Miming «cm pany for several months past, and he will spend Xmas here with the é.ége and Dr. and Mrs. Sanborn.— Memidji Pioneer.

Both teach- er and puplis are to be congratulat- ed for their success.as the play was a very heavyj one to be so nicely ren- dered. Two Austrians attempted to set- tle a little difficulty Wednesday ev- ening by a “chewing match”—that is, one attempted to chew the other up and would probably have succeed- ed to a certain degree if officer E. Carson had not entered a serious objection. At this writing we un- derstand that Judge Trescott is sum- jhe ‘up the damages and we’ oping that after the Judge gets through with them the principals will know they are living in the good old U.

The coal supply was plentiful and no one has suffered any inconvenience here so far. Grand Rapids came near to a coal famine, and other towns on the range were im doubt whether they would weath- er it through or not, but unless further complications set inthe worst seems over. These strikes, if they could be enjoyed by the _ strikers only, would cut but small figure. But on the oth@r hand so many suffer that are bystanders, that some means should be found to avert them A petition is out for the first rur- al route, we believe in! Itasca county, which will follow the Bovey-Feeley road, and the petition is being wide- ly signed, and undoubtedly the re- quired number of signatures will be received. The route goes through one of the most thickly settled portions af Itasca county, The road is a fine one, and a rural route would be a find impetus in helping to further develop this settlement. The mat- ter has been taken up with Congress- man Miller who promises to give, the matter his personal attention. Benjam Gran has the petition in hand, and is ‘making a canvass along the route. Mr. Gran already has a fine list, and it} looks assured that the route will be established. Mr. Gran’s brother, Victor, one of Duluth’s most promis- ing attorneys is using his influence to further the matter. . A mail cler& is to be placed on the trains of the D. M. & N. Prev- fously the baggageman had charge of the sacks and they were handled (langely| as through mail, not being opened until reached by a mail clerk ‘This new addition to the service will mean greater dispatch of the mails at many points. The skaters are busy these days in clearing off the ice near the school building at Coleraine, and are in hope of securing the placing of am arc light so that skating may be indulg- ed in at night. This will be fine so Jong as the weather man is kind, but when the mercury gets to the bottom of the bulb, it is a safe bet that the light won’t be needed. It will then be a closer hug around the red-hot heater and the skates will lose in- terest. pected in from Grand Rapids, Nash- wauk and other neighboring towns. The co * given last Tuesday Coleraine city band was well attended and each number on the program was well played and was very much appreciated by the audience.

In order that the largest possible number of the employes of the O. i, M. company might enjoy the holi- days this year to the full extent, all mining operations were temporarily suspended Thursday evening and will not be resumed until January 3rd.

DEER RIVER Perry Coffron Saturday morning re- ported he had found the frozen body of a man near the track this side of Bass lake.

The department is seek- ing statistics in regard to farm pro- ducts and to correctly answer the questions: the farmers will need be thoroughly onversant with the busi- ness side of farm life. “Each person in charge of the farm ' will be asked to state acerage and value of his farm; ‘that is, the acre- age and value of the land kept and cultivated by ‘him; also the area in his farm covered with wood land, and finally that which is utilized for specified farm purposes. “Each farmer will be asked to give the acreage, quantity produced and value of each crop, including grains, hay, vegetable,s fruit, grasses, tobac- co, etc., raised on the farm in the season of 1909. “Each farmer will be asked to re- port the number and value of all do- mestic animals, poultry and swarms of bees on the farm April 15, 1910; al so the number and value of young animals, such as calves, colts, lambs, \pigs and all young fowls, such as chickens, turkeys, ducks, etc., raised ‘on, the farm im 1909.
