Greenway as superintendent of the Coleraine district of the Oliv- er Iron Mining company, means he is to leave this section. His resig- nation’ is at best a listinict loss to these counties and their public in- jterests. Mr. Greenway is a most valuable citizen. To him Itasca county and Minnesota owe the model city of Coleraine, which has been an incen- tive to better conditions throughout ‘the range, and has been a source of most desirable publicity throughout the country. It was his conception, and his energy and ability made it a reality, In many other ways Mr. Greenway has served the people of this section if the state well, and, eft an in- delible impression upon their lives. His loyalty to his employing company has been no greater than his loyalty to all that has been for the public interest, for better conditions and for higher ideas. Personally he has only friends and admirers. His nature is that of qual- ity which attracts and holds the affec- tion and respect of those who come within the circle of his influence, and his devotion to his immediate duties and tasks never prevent his inter- ests and sympathy extending to in- dividuals and movements wherever he can be helpful. Big in stature, mind and _ heart; physically, mentally and sympatheti-) cally alert and earnest, he is the sort of a man for whom other men will fight, and who /bring out their best fighting qualities. Wherever he may go and whatever he may do, the interest of the people of this sec- tion and their loyal good wishes will | fo'low him.—News Tribune. ER a es Our Best County Board. Taxpayers of Itasca county are to be felicitated upon this year’s work ‘of the county commissioners, a re- cord of which will be found upon another page. Although differing in their political views the commission- ers have not allowed politics to en- terter into their deliberations. They did what was best ‘for the interests of the taxpayers all the time and haye made a record for themselves which it will be hard for future boards to equal. Each member of the board is an able, consientious man who has given to county affairs ‘the same care) and scrutiny he would exercise it his own business. The board entitled to all praise and body’s thanks. pass ocnsi i CE Hats Off to Our Firemen. Today’s fire in the McAlpine block with the temperture 22 degrees be- low zero, tested the mettle of our firemen to the utmost. But the brave fellows never faltered. Sheeted in ice they did magnificent work dur- ing the three hours that the battle} lasted. Handicapped in the beginning | by a frozen hydrant, which allowed | the flames to get a good start, they | |had a nasty fire on their hands, which | had the wind been high and toward | ‘the river, might have swept the en-| tire block on Leland avenue between Third and Second streets. pS The buttermakers of the entire) country are up in arms and are using | their utmost efforts to have enacted to prevent the manufacturers ef oleomargarine from ‘coloring the But do always put their product to resemble butter. the buttermakers goods on the market dressed in the natural, creamy color?

There skoda be justice done all parties in our daily transactions. Which is preferable, butter at 40 cents per pound, possibly obtained from the udder of measly, tuberculosis-inflict- ed cows or wholesome “ole”? at half the price? pone USS The Hibbing Tribune gives an ac- count in a recent issue concerning the manner in which the postoffice employes decorated a tree belonging to a young lady who works for “Uncle Sam.” One of the subjects placed on the tree was a piece of glassware, which was evidently made in Milwaukee, and the Tribune re- porter states it was empty when he appeared on the scene, but the young lady’s co-workers insist it was full with the amber fluid.

Nothing will so great- ly' help in adve?tising our great agri- cultural resources as a fine county fair, and this the commissioners have been quick to realize. Om the fair grounds this year they built a new grand stand and jointly with the school children of the county erect- ed a fine children’s industrial build- ing. They also erected additional rading stables and cattle and horse sheds. Nothing has been too smail to escape the watchful care/ of the com- missioners. They erected a build- img iin the rear of the court house in which all county tools are housed and, which enables them to keep a close tab on the county’s tools. Another wise move was the fitting up of a suit of three rooms on the third floor of the court house for jury quarters. One room is for de- liberative purposes, another for the bailiff and the third is a sleeping apartment, fitted comfortably with tiwelve iron beds and with toilet ac- comodat‘ons. The Kremer jury was on duty for thirteen days and slept in this room. Think of the hardships the jurymen would have have had t6 undergo without it unless the county | paid 12 times 13 nights’ lodging at \the Pokegama hotel and hired men to keep tab on the jurors to see that they) were not tampered with. The commissioners finally effected a settlement with the American Bonding company of Baltimore, obtaining $5,- | 000 on account of Charles Miller’s al- leged shortage while county treasur- er. The board of equalization, com- posed of the commissioners and County Auditor Spang, did splendid work, as shown) by the fact ‘that the state board made very few changes in their rulings. A difficult situation confronted the commissioners in the selection of a treasure~ to succeed Arthur A. Krenmt er. Many claimants appeared, all of them capable and having influence. The commissioners, after careful con- sideration of the ability of all, chose Glen Strader, then cashier of the | First State bank at Marble. Almost everybody now concedes it was the best choice the commissioners could have made. During the year the towns of Cole- }raine, Marble, Taconite and Calumet | were organized and each now has an effective local government. These |towns combined have a population of between 4,000 and 5,000, which is an indication of how fast the county | is growing in population. | A good piece of work was the ap-| | pointment of an inspector of mines, Captain® Peter L. Ranquist, an ex:| | perienced mining man, being chosen | for the office. His very complete | \and satisfactory report of his first \year’s work was recently printed in ‘these columns. The county commissioners are Cy-| \rus M. King, of Deer River, district | No. 1; [Morris O’Brien, Cohasset, dis- | trict No. 2; John P. Trebileock, Cole- jraine, district No. 3; Neil Mullins, | LaPrainrie, district No. 4; Archie Mc- | Williams, Nashwauk, district No. 5, | Messrs. King, O’Brien and Mullins |are democrats and Messrs. Trebil- cock and M¢Williams are republicans. M. A. Spang, county auditor, is ex- offico clerk of the board and Mr. Mul lins is chairman. Every taxpayer of the county will wish each of these gentlemen a hap- py New Year wiht hearty good will. Where They Are Visiting.

This great sum goes over one-| half. to schools and the remainder | for the support of state institutions. ! “That would have gone into pri- vate hands had the state sold the lands. We are now spending $100,-| 000 a year to reclaim the swamp land | by drainage, more than ever in the history of the state, and this good | work will continue for many years. “Finally, my question is that in- stead of critisizing the state auditor for upholding the law and defending the state’s lands from attack, or at- tempting to do so, the friends of northern Minnesota should get to- gether and try to solve some of the questions involving the welfare of this great undeveloped umpire. “Perhaps new laws are needed. The entire state will approve any sound, practical method that may be pro- posed. “For myself I may be permitted to say that whatever of talents, I may possess have always been and will continue to be at the service of the friends of northern Minnesota and every other district and for the pro- motion of a united and harmonious greater Minnesota. os etengeetoton =e Sees ests SS eeey ~ MSoearesoetoatrtoeeatont: The residence of P.
