oo AN APPROACHING .NUPTIAL EVENT William Arthur King Will Wed Hazel Eleanor Tyndall Thurs- day April 14. Invitations have been issued for on of the most interesting nuptial event ef the season, that of William Arth- ur King to Hazel Eleanor Tyndall, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Tyndall, which will take place at the Episcopal church at high noon Thursday, April! 14. The bride is one of Grand Rapids’ most popular and well known young ladies, she having spent practical- ly all her life here and to say that she is held! im highest esteem by all would be putting it mildly, indeed. The groom, whose home is at Water- town, Wis., has resided at Grand Rap ids for the past 5 years and only re- cently went to Marble to take charge of the King Lumber Co.’s yard at that place in which his father and brother are heavy stock holders. He is a young man of exemplary habits and we predict a successful business career, for{ him. During the past week several show- ers were given for the bride. On Thursday evening Miss Grace Finner- ty gave a granite shower at the home of Mrs. J. F. O’Connell. The rooms were decorated in Easter colors, yel- low and white and Miss Tyndall was the recipient of many useful articles. Mrs. Dr. Storch gave a parcel show- er Saturday afternoon and at this function Miss Tyndall also received many tokens from admiring friends The rooms were decorated in pink and white. On Monday afternoon Mrs. Roy D. Lothrop, of Coleraine, gave a shower in honor of the bride, the decorations of the room being in white, in her honor. Miss Tyndall was accompanied to Coleraine by her sister, Miss Alice and the Misses Katherine Doran, Irene Logan, Grace Finnerty and Carrie Beckfelt. A de- lightful time is reported at all the Bhoiwers. ’ Itasca Land Owners Killed. Among those killed in the Great Wes tern wreck near Marshalltown, Iowa, last week, in which over 40 persons lost their lives, were Jacob Nauholz, sof Cedar Rapids, and Wm. Weit, of Des Moines. Both were well-known there and had extensive Jand holdings throughout the county Mr. Nau- holz spent considerabe time here last; this state would be bubbling over | fall looking after his investments. —_—————— Eee Too Many Wolf Bounties. , A somewhat unusual surprise was sprung pon the citizens, across the Canadian boundary, last Tuesday night by the arrest of a provincial officer, of Messrs. Westcott, of Rainy River, and Cathcart, of Barwick. The arrest follewed the closing of the poll of the election that day at which ‘Wescott jwas a candidate for the of- fice of mayor of the village of Rainy River, and it was at first presumed that it had reference to the municip- al contest then on; however, the fact of ithe kase soon leaked out and the cause became general knowledge. The offense for which the two are in cus- tody is said to be the defrauding of the Ontario government out of over $8,000 secured fravdulantly for ‘wolf bounties. ‘ Just what part each of the principals took in the scheme we have been pnable to’ Jearn,\ but it is stated that Wescott was the prime mover in the idea that he would go to Manitoba and buy in a lot of coy- ote and bush wolf hides and ship the to his fence, Cathart at Barwick, who sold them to the Indians and had them sell the hides to Westcott again. Wescott would then go before a magistrate or justice and have the proper affidavits issued for bounty which was ultimately remitted to him The scheme was a Waring one. Since writing the above Wescott and his alley, as well as nine Indians who have been unwittingly associated with them, have pleaded guilty and were remanded to jail to await sen- tence.—Spooner News. Thomas McVeigh went to Duluth yMonday where he ‘will take a course Jn civil engimeering.

The curse of public apathy and the curse of land “packers” who neither undertake to farm their immense tracts (which of course would be impracticable|becaus of their great) areas) mor attempt to sell, by retail, to the farmers who would. They hold their great tracts undeveloped, simply awaiting an “un earned increment of value,’ due the energy of others. They are worst than the meat trust which puts its meat into cold storage to let con- sumers starve into higher prices of purchase and producers starve into lower rates for production. So these land jpackers put almost whole coun- ties into “cold storage” to freeze and keep until the Land Famine makes them multimillionaries. That is all that ails Minnesota. “Whenever a settler by chance pries a home loose from the land-packer’s refrigerator, he is astonished at the surprising richness of his quarter, the delightfulness of the climate and the unexpected} opportunities ail about him. “He owes it to his less fortunate friends back where he came from to let them know what he has found and that much more such land can be homesteaded today, or purchased nearer immediate markets at $10 to $25 an acre. “There are} immense areas not yet traversed by many railroads, where most excellent homestead lands are yet available, and almost before the settler can ibuild his shack, he will hear the{ cry| of the locomotive pene- trating the very township wherever he settles. Opportunities are here, awaiting the man of course and fore- sight. Come.” THE RESERVATION OPENED AT LAST (Continued from Page One.) made into homesteads. Some tracts in these counties are still to be found which are valuable for homesteading, but the larger part of the vacant land is as above stated. “‘Hupbard county in this district, has but few tracts left. They are such as are known as Isolate tracts and there are not more than forty acres in any one contiguous body. “The Jargest amount of land now available for entry is situated in ‘south of Leech lake. A large number of entries of lands in this vicinity have been made during the past years “Section 4 of the act of May 23 1908, provides that the land in the Winnibegoshish, Cass Lake, Chippe- wa of the Mississippi or Leech lake Indian reservations mot included in the National Forest, are open to homestead settlement, and that as fast as the timber is removed from timber lands on any of said reserva- tions not included in the national forest, it shall be open to homestead settlement. The Jand referred to is situated in Cass and Itasca counties and most of it adjacent to Cass Lake and Deer River By order of the secretary of the imterior, all of these lands from which the timber has been removed and not opened to home stead entry are withdrawn from settlement for a period of one year from March 138, 1910. The timber that is being removed from these lands is the White and Norway pine All other timber is left upon and goes with the land when entry is made, but none of the former Indian reservation lands are subject to entry under the timber and_ stone law. Any information respecting ; the disposition of ‘these lands re- ceived at this office subsequent to the date of this circular will be sup- plied! herewith. “If not a native born citizen, bring! your citizen papers with you when you come to file or prove up. A copy for us in filing may be obtained from the clerk of the court which issued your original citizen papers and is always preferable as it allows you to keep the original papers. Cass county and the most of it is Ee oe de es “Always examine your land thoroug ly before making application. A great deal of trouble has arisen because parties have filed upon lands without being certain of the lines and legal description of the land which they desire to enter. Later, when they go upon the land to make it their home, they find that the land which they entered fis not fit for the mak- ing of a home. Unscrupulous lo- cators sometimes show homesteads seekers one tract of land and then file them on another. When the entryman goes upon his land, he too often finds it nothing but swamp. The only safe way is to take time enough to know for yourself the correct discription of the land you desire to enter. “When an entry is once made and afterwards relinquished, the home- stead right is exausted no matter how small a tract is entered. If relinquishment is made without valuable consideration or an entry is not canceled for fraud, the home stead right is sometimes restored by Act of Congress, or the entry may be changed upon a complete showing that unsuitable land has been enter- ed through unavoidable mistake. “When an entry has been made for less than a 160 acres, one additional or second entry is allowed for an amount of land which, together with the land already entered will not exceed 160 acres, after final proof fas been made on the original entry; or if additional land becomes vacant or subject to entry adjoining a tract already entered, buch tract may be added to the former entry at any time provided the entire amount : land does not exceed 160 acres.”
