Neighborhood News Clipped or Condensed From Exchanges for the Benefit of Herala-Review Readers GRAND RAPIDS HERALD-REVIEW WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1910. ; BIG FORK Dn an a 0 a a a ee te ee a ae eee ee a Fred Potts of Deer River, was in town a few days during the past week and while here he made a deal with Gus Gustafson whereby the lat- ter is to log the timber on Mr. Potts’ claim about four miles west of town this winter. Owing to the fine weather here this winter Mr. Gus- tafson, like alll other loggers is ad- vancing with his logging more rapidly than he expected when he started to log his own claim, hence he finds time to take the above mentioned job in addition to putting in his own timber. Miss Julia Coolen closed her school near Effie for a week’s vacation which she will spend with friends in Grand Rapids. Harry Larson returned home last Saturday from the hospital in Grand Rapids where he has been receiving treatment for pneumonia. Erick ‘Hansen fis meeting with the best success in trapping wolves this winter. During the past two weeks he has captured four of these ani- mals which nets him a nice little salary for two weeks work, and. be- sides much credit is due Mr. Hansen or any one, living in these parts, who strive to kill off the wolves as these animals are rapidly killing off the deer in northern Minnesota, and in our opinion the killing of the wol- ves here should be incouraged as much as possible. Even the bounty which iis at present fair, should be raised. Anyone capturing a wolf in Koockiching county gets $15 bounty and it seems no more than reason- able that Itasca county, pay as much bounty as does Koochiching. A crew of men started the work of driving the piling for the iM. & R.R. Ry. bridge across the Bigfork river near the little falls last Tues- day. Albert Jaynes is superintend- ing the work. Pearl Philips and Michal Guthrie, who are attending hilgh school in Deer River spent a couple of weeks vacation at their homes in Effie returning to Deer River Saturday. John Thompson of Busit town bought of Richard McGraw this week one of the largest teams of oxen in these parts, and he will use them in the woods this winter while put- ting in logs fora party near Namakan camp No. 2. ( Lander Larson, who is foreman for the firm of Johnson & Thompson spent Sunday with his family in town While here Mr. Larson informed us that Mr. Johnson, of the above named firm, will give a talk on socialism in the village hall at this place about the middle of this month. As the social- ists in this neighborhood are gain- ing rapidly in number, there is no question but what there will be a large attendance on the evening of Mr. Johnson’s entertainment. BOVEY The Bovey Reading Circle were “at home” to a crowd of thirty-seven people, Tuesday evening at the New Home hotel, Miss Louise Binet being hostess of the evening. The club is composed of nine members, Mrs. Bitner being president, Miss Williams vice president and Mrs. Mitchell, sec- retary and treasurer. Meetings oc- cur every two weeks at the homes of the different members. As its name implies the purpose is an ed- ucational one. History, science and the political features of the various countries come iin for their share of attention. Recently the past, present and future of France has been under advisement and so the decorations of the dining room were the French flag colors—blue, white and red. Even the with French flags in miniature. The ice was badly shattered in the games which followed, and true sociability reigned until a late hour. Refresh- ments were served and all present extended a vote of thanks to the club and say to them that they are royal entertainers. Mrs. Chas Maynard, mention of whose death was made in these col- umns last week, was buried Sunday in the Trout Lake cemetery. Funeral services were held in Bovey Sunday in the Presbyterian church, Rev. W. O. Garrett officating. The remains were in charge of Mr. Ross, the local undertaker. Mrs. Maynard was 38 years of age at the time of her death. She was born in Dodge county, Minn. and has for eleven years resided on the old homestead, situated on the east bank of Trout lake where she died on January 26, 1910. She was guests were ornamented) the mother of seven children who together with her husband are left to mourn her great loss. She was a member of the Royal Neighbors, and the funeral was conducted by this order. Twenty-five members of the order represented the lodge and paid their last tributs, sorrowfully, and lovingly to their dead sister. The en- tire town and county will sympathize and grieve with the bereaved hus- band and the wmotherless children over the loss of wife and mother. “On Plymoth Rock” in the High school auditorium Thursday even- ing, February 10th. This is a play given by the pupils and promises to be something good. © A Chicago firm is furnishing the costumes. A lone Indian hit the trail over the village nat long since, in search of something to soak up his slates so he would hold hay. It was a long tramp. Poor Lo! He is still thirsty. |All day he went from place to place but the stony stare was handed him instead of the tin bucket full of suds which his soul cried out for. A couple of lumberjacks were appealed to for relief, but" these two were wise, and the woods looked better than an excursion to Stillwater to them. And it seemed the fire department must be called out soon or there would be an Indi- an ablaze. From place to placei the Indian saw the bar keep screwing the lid om harder than ever and his heart sank like a soggy biscuit in a swill (barrel. It would be easier for Taft to turn a handspring through a’ ibutton hole than for an Indian to acquire a smell of a half’ pint in Bovey. It must be h—]l to have such a thirst in front of a trainload, and no means of absorbing one gon- dola load of it. 3 iMr. Latham, of the Canisteo Laun- dry is slightly disfigured, but still in the ring. While turning a corner, Saturday, with his team and rig, the rig was overturned and Mr. J.athan spilled out on the paving. In the mixup he was quite badly bruised. It required a couple of stitches in his head to repair the wound. He escaped without broken bones, but it, was a miracle dpparently. _A good steady stand-with-out hitching auto- mobile sale agent might find a pos- sidle purchaser if he rang up the Can- isteo] Laundry. Erick Johnson is expected home from his southern trip next week. So far as the weather is concerned Erik could have remained in Bovey But a trip to Cubaisnot to be missed and is well worth the taking by any one having the price. Mrs. Charles Weston received a message Tuesday from Deadiwoou Minnesota, stating that her fathei was seriously ill, having sustained a third stroke of paralisys, and wax in a dangerous condition.

Mr. Lew Simon went to Chicago Monday to be present at the wed- ding of his sister, Miss Lillian, to Mr. Charles Silverstein, of St. Paul which occurs on February 8th at that place. He will remain in the Windy City fora short while to trans- act some business for the National Skj Tournament. i COLERAINE “¥ ‘Messrs.
