The band las- sociation has abandoned plans for their annual which was to be given February 12th. The scarlet fever rage which set in a week ago threatened to bring a panic so rapid was the contageon spread and severe measure was at once taken by Health Officer Dr. Fairall. The schools were closed all week and the building was fumigat- ed daily; children were kept pretty close to home; the electric theatre was fumigated and no children were allowed there; the special services at the churches were discontinued, and no public gatherings have been held. The result is hot a new case has developed and those reported last week are all recovering rapidly and are considerde safe. Dr. Fairall con- siders it safe to open the school next week and schools will resume work Monday} morning. Attorney W. B. Taylor has locat- ed his office im the building on Rail- road street west of the drug store where he ‘will remain until he can find better quarters. Mr. Taylor likes Deer River better} every day, and he reports business coming satisfactorily Secretary Moran of the Commer- cial club has prepared and sent to farmers a, list of questions for them to answer, which will be used in the meeting of February 14th when the matter of establishing a creamery will be measured fully. All the farm- ers should attend the meeting and those who cannot should send a good lettey. i COLERAINE “4 Castle Square MHntertainers gave the people who attended their enter- tainment last, evening what may be termed a rare musical treat. The program, which took the greater por- tion of two hours to present, was one of the best/ of its kind ever pre- sented to the people of Coleraine and received showers of applause from the audience. The Castle Square En- tertainers are four in number and each of them are artists of high rank and deserve the best recommendation Time does not permit us to go into detail in describing the various feat- ures of the numbers presented but svffice to say every, part was so well played the entertainment throughout was far above criticism. The school board is to be commended for the good judgement exercised in select- ing the numbers for this year’s Lect- ure and Entertainment Course. Friday morning at the opening ex- ercises, Mr. Vandyke gave a_ des- cription of the Curtiss Flying ma- chine which he saw on exhibition in Minneapolis. This is of timely in- est to the pupils of the High schoo who are reading in the school period- icals of the successful contests which Glen Curtiss is making in his flights at Los Angeles. Fire extinguishers have been plac- ed in the hallways of the schools at Bovey, Coleraine and Taconite. These with fire drills, which make it pos- sible to move all the children from any building in one minute, lessens the danger of human life if one of the school buildings should take fire Fire escapes have been ordered for the tall buildings at Coleraine and Marble. August Johnson and D. D. Greer returned yesterday from the Twin Cities where they attended a session of the Masonic grand lodge as dele- gates from the local lodge. The Ladies Auxillary of the A. O. H. society are making preparations to give a social dancing party at the high school auditorium Friday even- ing, February 4, and a pleasant time is anticipated. Invitations to the af- fair will soon be issued. Rev. Geo. E. Stilloway invited a crowd of young people to the church and gave! them an entertainment that was thoroughly enjoyable. The young people were those who had been skat ing at the public rink near the churcl The evening was spent im playing games, making candy and before con- clus‘on a most delicious luncheon was served. The evening’s entertainment was theheupon brought toa close witk a hearty farewell and everybody retur ed to their homes satisfied with hav- ing spent a most enjoyable evening in the pastor’s/ company. We are about through stock tak- ing at Henry Hughes & Co.’s. Then there will be something doing next}. week. A pop bottle and a plate glass are all right in their places, but when the bottle gets aj line of flight direct- ly at the glass, the question of the price of each cuts no figure when results are checked up. Pete O’- Connell was the force behind the pop bottle and a plate glass in the windoy of the Kuzma Kologera saloon was’ the target. Judge Franti in review- ing the remains—and Pete—thought that $75.00 would smooth matters and plug the hole ‘n the plate glass. Or, Fete could keep away from pop bot- tles thirty days by going over to the county jail and keeping away from jampitation. Pete decided that the dollars he had would look good after ‘he got out and so took the trail to the bastile. Mr. Clarence Webster, our new at- torney, is a young man whom we predict will become very popular in Bovey, the more so as he is better known. He has been here now about three weeks, and is making friends daily. Bovey is very free from law ‘disputes, but the old saying is, if you would put two lawyers within the pearly gates, and within a short time both would be working over- time. As there are two sides to every case, we can now settle our little affairs without outside assis tance. Arthur Lanto, who at one time was employed by Erick Johnson, and a brother of John. Lanto, manager of the Nashwauk Mercantile Co., was shaking hands with friends in town Thursday. Mr. Lanto has been in the west the past three years, and since leaving here has married. At the present, time he is taking charge of the Nashwauk store during the absence of his brother. Art is the same old Art, and a few years make ‘no change in him. It only takes a small matter to stop great works at times. A small bunch of waste put Bovey in dark- ness Thursday evening. This bunch of waste no larger than a lady’s thimble blew on to an oil cup which fed oil to the fly wheel on the engine which runs the dynamo. This was not dangerous of itself, but in time the contents of the oil cup must be scattered oni the floor and the engine then run _ hot. It was necessary to shut down the lights to remove the waste, which only took a moment Ralph Parlette gave his great lec- ture on the “University of Hard Knocks” before a large audience in the Bovey school auditorium last Mon day night. It was one of the most enjoyable numbers of the season's course, and should Parlette ever come to the Canisteo miming dis- trict again, he wilf be greeted by a still larger] audience. FARMER’S CLUB ORGANIZATION Will Be Held {At Court House At Conclusion of County Fair Meeting. An organization has recently been effected at Duluth known as — the Producers Cooperative Market as-/ sociation. It is comprised of farm- er’s clubs from all over northeastern Minnesota, from Bagley on the west to Pine City on the south. Its pur- pose is to market the farm produce of northeastern Minnesota. If a suf- ficient number of clubs join, opera- tions will commence March Ist to find a market for the potatoes the farmers now have on hand. It is important that the farmers in this vicinity join this association. The membership fee is $10 per club, which would amount to $1, or less per member. For the purpose. of or- ganizing a local club to join this as- sociation, a meeting is hereby called to take plase immediately at the close of the annual meeting of the Itasca County Agricultural society which will be held at the court house Thurs day afternoon, February 3.

ROAD SEEKS FRANCHISE. Re aa President MacKenzie, Canadian Northern, Coming to Duluth. Duluth.—William McKenzie, presi- dent of the Canadian Northern, is coming to Duluth in the interest of his road in the fight the Canadian Northern is making to secure én- trance into this city along the route chosen by the company’s engineers through the residence section of West Duluth. Mr. McKenzie left Winnipeg to- night. He is accompanied by D. B. Hanna, third vice-president, F. H. Phippen, general counsel, and Hugh Sutherland, chief Western executive of the road. Just what they hope to be able to effect in Duluth is not known, as the franchise ordinance will not again come up before the city council till one week from Monday. It is probable the railroad officials will confer with the representatives of the road in an effort to obtain a comprehensive first-hand grasp of the Duluth situation, and decide definitely just how much they will concede to popular demand of the citizens’ of West Duluth. It is improbable that the franchise will be acted upon final- ly until after the city election, Feb. 1. It is scheduled to come up with before election, but it is probable that the meeting of the council the night it will again be sidetracked for po-"| litical reasons. There is a possibility that the Cana- dian Northern officials may wish to meet the members of the city countil and discuss the right-of-way situation with them in detail. Some other route may be chosen or the details: of construction along the route already selected decided upon. It is probable that a bargain will be struck between the railway officials and the aldermen before the former leave the city.

The general opinion of those REGENTS WOULD LIKE TO HAVE HIM SUCCEED PRESIDENT NORTHROP. NOW AT UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI Most of Them Believe He Will Ac- cept—Visit to Columbia Mo., to Be Paid by Committee on Successor. Minneapolis. — Prof. Albert Ross Hill, president of the -University of Missouri, has been offered the presi- {dency of the University of Minnesota to succeed President Cyrus North- who are seeking him is that he will accept the offer. For a time the regents expected to bring Dean Frederick 8. Johns, form- erly of the engineering college of the University of Minnesota, now of the college of arts and sciences at Yale, back to this state, but opposition caus- ed the withdrawal of the name. Although there are several educa- tors on the list of the regents, the name of President Hill is declared to be almost their unanimous choice. It is expected that the selection will be made within the next few weeks, though the committee of the regents appointed to visit the various educa- tors under consideration may take a tion in a week. Of this committee ex-Governor John Lind, is chairman, and the other members are B. F. Nel- son, President Northrop, Pierce But- ler, and Dr. William J. Mayo. Messrs. Lind and Nelson, and possibly Mr. Butler, were to go to various institu- tions of the country to discuss the topic of a new president, but they may go to no other place than Mis- souri. President Hill is among the best ed- ucators of the country. He was born in Nova Scotia, Oct. 4, 1869, and re- ceived his first education in a coun- try school. He went to Pictou, N. S., academy and to Dalhousie university, Halifax, where he received A.B. hon- ors in 1892. Following this he went to Cornell, where he received his Ph. B., in 1895. He was at Heidelberg, Berlin and Strassberg in 1893-4 and at Clark university, Worcester, Mass., in the summer of 1896. He received his LL. D. at the University of South Carolina in 1905. His first tutoring experience came in Nova Scotia from 1885 to 1887. He was professor of psychology at the state normal school at Oshkosh, Wis., in 1895 and 1897, and following this he was made associate professor of philosophy, in 1897, of the University of Nebraska. From 1898 to 1908 he was professor of philosophy and director of the psychological laboratories at the same institution. In 1903 he went to the University of Missouri as professor of educational psychology and dean of | the teachers’ college. Since then he | has advanced to the head of that institution, He is a member of Sigma | Xi fraternity and numerous education- | al organizations. BRINGS EUROPE’S FARMERS. Bishop McGolrick Imports 100 Bel-| gians Into Minnesota. | Duluth—One hundred Belgians will | come to America in the coming spring | to take up farms in Becker and Hub- | bard counties in a big Catholic colony to be established there by BiShop Mc- Golrick of this city. | Most of them have means enough to equip a dairy farm or a truck garden | plot. The Belgians are especially adapted to gardening work, while the | Holianders are the great dairymen of Europe. In the meantime, representatives of the bishop are scouring all the large cities of the United States for pros- pective settlers. They are searching for men who have enough money to | make a first payment on a small farm, buy the necessary tools and erect | enough buildings to begin farming. | | Bishop McGolrick says the Europe- | an farmers, who, for the most part, | are experienced, will be scattered in| nists in order that thefr methods of farming may serve as models for the emigrants from the great cities, who have little practical knowledge of land cultivation. Everything points toa large migra- tion of settlers to the lands of the bishop’s company early in the spring, and before the summer is passed the promoters expect to see many clusters of: prospering settlers’ homes in Hub-| bard and Becker counties. Stillwater—John Allen, a Minneapo- lis convict, died of tuberculosis, He was 22, and his. father lives in Chi- cago.
