The sale opened early last week and during the we¢d« 67 lots were actually sold, many to persons who will build upon them in the near future. South Cohasset is platted upon a beautiful stretch of upland which skirts the river and gradually rises back to higher elevation and is cov- ered with a forest of evergreens, of- fering delightful locations for homes. The contract for the new steel dyvaw bridge was let to the Central States Bridge company of Indianap- olis, Ind., The contract requires that work begin at an early date and that the bridge be completed the present season. As soon as it became known that the contract had been let, the sale of lots in South Cohasset start- ed off with a boom, as many as 22 lots being sold in one day. Several new residences will be start- ed in the new district at once and, street improvements by the owners of the addition will be started’ in earnest. The sale of South Cohasset} is heing conducted by E. L. Buck, who, with other business men of Co- hasset, are the owners and platters of the tract. Mr. Buck has an able assistant in P. P. Scott, that past master in the art of showing up the beauties and advantages of the new and promising locality; and he has certainly, been kept busy recently. The owners of South Cohasset have very wisely put the prices of lots low and within the reach of all, and the terms of easy payment, requiring but a small payment down and the bal- ance on monthly installments, thus those of small means are given an opportunity to procure a home or make a small, safe investment in substantial property that is sure to increase in value as time goes on. Cohasset has bright prospects and is growing steadily and substantially, and its citizens are pulling together for the betterment and upbuilding of the town, and they are accomplish- ing things, too. No one need doubt that Cohasset will continue to grow into prominence. The Cohasset State bank opens for business this week. The new bank is a model of substantial beauty in The stockholders of the bank are well known bankers of Grand Rapids, Crookston and business men of Co- hasset, hence the bank opens as one of the strong institutions of the state and will be ably managed and afford complete security to depositors. Base Ball at Cohasset The Cohasset Baseball team held a meeting last Tuesday night and elected a new manager to take the Place of James Grady who has been officiating in that capacity but was forced to retire owing to the great increase in his business. The present holder of the title, Albert Klein, is fully adapted to the position and the boys are well pleased with the substitution, although very sorry to lose Mr. Grady who was always a thorough enthusiast. At the same meeting a resolution was passed that the baseball club give a dance which is to take place this coming Tuesday at Village hall. Everybody is cord- jally invited to attend. The home team will play their opening game this coming Sunday with the Grand! Rapids Cubs and it is to be hoped} that they will come out on top for they are a young combination and a little win for a starter is some- thing that lends encouragement. Everybody should get out and boost} for the team and help them along. | Hurrah for Cohasset. SEEPS eb bbte ; Cohasset Cullings : Were ocenontentontectectrteatestedtectectectecteeeeteeceegeee Dr. Johnson entertained some of his friends here Sunday from the Ra- pids. They took 4 short fishing trip but returned early owing to poor sport. S. E. Olwed of Superior, who has some land up in this part of the country, was here for a few days last week looking after his property. Doc. Beverley started out on a cruising trip Saturday morning to H. C. Brooks of Minneapolis was here for a couple of days the latter Part of last week on business. He left for Minneapolis on the noon train Saturday. The atmosphere surrounding the j village for the past few days has been very heavy and smoky as a re- sult of the recent brush fires in the vicinity. Homer Wright, Morris O’Brien and Owen Skelley drove down to the Rap- ids Saturday morning for the pur- pose of taking in the State Land sale which was being conducted there. Pat Kinney,one of the sub-contract- ors for Foley, Welch & Stewart, is here in Cohasset under the care of | Dr. Johnson. He has been suffering from some trouble with his ears for F. Shumacher of Grand Rapids was a business wisitor here for a feav days last week. He took a trip out ;t@ Bass Lake where he has some property and is having some improve- ments done thereon. C. H. Frees, our druggist, took a trip to the Twin cities on business which he thinks will take the great- er part of a month to tramsact. He does not think that he will be able to get back at an earlier date. The LeRoux family drove through town last [Sunday on their way out to Lallipertie’s place where they spent the day and returned to their home in the Rapids late in ‘the evening af- ter spending a very pleasant time. The village council decided that owing to the long.spell.of.dry weather we have been having, it would be a very good idea to sprinkle the streets and accordingly the water wagon was put on the latter part of the week. Mike Callahan reports favorable progress with the road grading across the river.The dry weather is helping the work along materially. He recent- jly mut om several extra teams and will rush the work with all possible celerity. \John Nelson had a party, of ip friends from the Rapids out with him Sunday in his gasoline launch touring around at q great rate. It is evident that he is an expert around gasoline engines from the manner in which he handles them. John Crawford, one of the census takers for this district, came in from Hill City Saturday morning on foot, a distance of 26 miles. He reports the walking to be fairly good but says that exercise of this kind is rather hard on the feet J, H. Flynn, one of the residents of Bass Brook townskip lost in the neighborhood of five hundred dollars worth of personal property as a re sult of a fire last week on his place. He was fortunate, however, in saving most of his plats and instruments, which are very valuable. The pail factory has increased the number of employes lately and is jturning out very large orders every day. The factory recently moved the office up from Foley swhere it had been transacting the larger volume of business. Hereafter all the busi- ness will be transacted in Cohasset. William Gustafson has taken sever- al contracts for the clearing of lots over in the new addition across the river. He has been &t the work now for a number of days and is making great headway. The clearing is being done for parties who intend to com- mence building operations immediate- ly. The Cohasset State bank will open | its doors for business Thursday morn- ing. This new enterprise is one that has long been wanted, as the busi- ness men of the village have ex- perienced great difficulty in handling currency,but from now on they will have every accommodation that can be expected from a bankimg institu- tion. Leo. Betz, formerly a _ resident of j Cohasset, but now a resident of Cass | Lake, was down here Sunday visit- ing some of his; old time friends for | a few hours. He left for his home on the noon train. | the past couple of weeks and it has | been steadily getting worse, until he | was compelled to obtain medical aid. | He is fast improving under the care of Dr. Johnson and will soon be suf- ficiently relieved to attend to his business. William Rodda and Roy Fritz when | dark but .were suddenly put on the fun by a pack of fifteen or twenty wiolves, which’ they heard only a short distance behind them. Naturally they shad to beat it as hard as they could possibly go and ,as Fritz says, they had no great desire to remain and parley with their pursuers, so kept on going until within about three miles of town, when they seemed to lose their would-be friends.They state | that the wolves are remarkably thick | | op around that part of the country at the present time and that the ani- mals are anything but timid. Paul Hanson of the bridge brigade was married to Ella Monson last Thursday and left on the afternoon train for Minneapolis where they will spend their honeymoon for a couple of weeks after which time they will return and take up their residence here until Mr. Hanson has complet- | ed his work on the bridge. j Charley Brown was to be seen Sun- day on the diamond just as lively asi any of the young bloods. Deer River was booked to come here for a game with the local nine jbut failed to ap- pear and so the fans would not be altogether disappointed, a second nine was organized and a fairly good game was the re- sult. Some of the oldtimers donned the mitt and the result was a whole bushel of fun. Gust Brandenberg, foreman of the bridge gang is having some trouble in getting men to stay with the work. They all seem to prefer river work. He is paying good wages but this does not seem to be an inducement tfo them to \stay Many of them of course are rather green at.this class of labor and that is one of the prin- cipal reasons why they do not remain for the job appears to be too hard, but those who have had experience are remaining. Quite a bunch of fishermen came up from the Rapids on Sunday morn- ing in an automobile and went out in one of the many gasoline launches which are on Cohasset waters. They remained out the greater part of the day but their catch was not a very large one. Fishing at the present is not of the best and most of the en- thusiastics im that sport have de- cided. to let the game alone until we are favored with a little warm weath- er. Clifford Alman, of the Bridge company, is now in Cohasset and is acting in ithe capacity of as- sistant foreman to Gust Brandenberg, | who is well pleased to have him. Be- fore coming up here Mr. the misfortune to drop the sum of $40.00 from his pocket while engaged | in showing some branch of the work | in Red Cedar River, consin. until getting Menominee, Wis- home in the and for the time being did not know what had become of it, but) he re membered something falling from his pocket during the afternoon and was satisfied that it was the little bunch af money to which the made up ‘his mind to say good bye.

Timber land, and all good farm ing Jand, in the Willow River val- ley, in northern Aitkin County, Minnesota. This tract is crossed by the new Soo railroad, now building from Thief River Falls to Duluth and Superior, thus placing this land, which has heretofore been isolated from railroads, within easy reach of big cities with their great mar- kets, over a directline of railway. Our land lies level and gently rolling. The soilis a rich loam, where the maple, oak and bass wood grow, and yields enormous crops of everything you stick in the ground. Some ofthis landis cut over, but is mostly easy to clear and you can raise crops the first year; fine feed growing on this land now; on meadow and upland, some with tame grass. Fuel and fencing for a lifetime. And a new town is laid out close up to our lands. Fne lakes; also running streams cross the town- ship which drain the country. There will be a movement to these good lands along this new railway, by home-seekers and in- vestors very soon, and when these good cheap lands of Northern Minnesota are taken up, the last good cheap lands of the famed American west will be gone for- ever. We are facing the very last chance. Don’t you think you ought to hurry aud get some land? Will sell you 40 acres of this Jand, or will sell you more, what- ever you want. And the terms of any good man will suit me. Give you what time you need to pay for it, witha small payment down to show you mean business. The price will be low, $10, $15 to $20 per acre, owing to loca- tion etc., but it is all good land. The American farmer is coming into his own.
