Postmaster Carrier Lost The South Cohasset Land company recently laid out five very choice riv- er front lots, 50x100 feet) This is a fine piece of property and in time will be very valuable. There are fiwe lots and five owners. John Nelson, wanted 7} BOOST FOR COHASSET the boys gradually lost interest until the organization entirely disappeared. He has again succeded in framing up a band! of musicians that is a ly hoped that the boys will stick to- gether and continue regular practice inspire them with new enthusiam. John Crawford and family was visi- tors at Grand Rapids Sunday.. A number of Cohasset folks plan- | ned a picnic party for Sunday last, | but the rain interfered so persistent- | dy that the pleasure project was | abandoned. Four young people, how- ever, chaperoned by Mr. H. B. Shoop, ventured out to the pleasant country home of Mr. George Becker, where a very delightful hour or two was had. Jeffers, The Chieken Man As a scientific chicken producer Ed. Jeffers stands at the head of the ‘class. He is the acknowledged lead- er of the whole flock; he is a brood- er without a parallel; he can either crow or cackle. And yet he is not an old hen; neither is he a chicken cock. Ed’s hennery in the west end of town is potmted to with pride by every patriotic citixen of Cohasset. AVhen he decided’ to engage in the chicken.business.he.decided.to.engage in the chicken business, and as a _re- sult of the decision he is in the chicken business. He i's also raising chickens. Hd sent down to Nebraska and got an incubator and_ brooder. This life-producing contrivance was calculated to contain 110 eggs. This number was procured from a’ ne: bor, and in the handling four were broken, leaving but 106 gump seeds. one of the lots, but the price he of- fered! did not appeal to his co-own- vers as being sufficiently large. H. «}H.Carrier, postmaster, merchant, cap- italist, real estate operator, and one of'the lucky ‘owners of South Cohas- aie det, was eqtial to the situaripn. He qijisuggested that inasmuch as there were five joint owners of the five lots ,they might toss up and.each.re- spective “high man out” take his choice. The proposition was accepted. Carrfer and Buck were the last two to “toss” and hence got the cull lots. They were both out of humor, natur- ally, and by no means satisfied with their ill luck. But again the genial Nasby was equal to the occasion. He saw no reason why there should be fwo disappointed membery of the company. He would take a chance on his lot against that of Mr. Buck. Buck was game, and the goddess of chance again invoked. Buck won. iNow he, thas the laugh on the other fellows and.they.all.have.the.laugh on Carrier, who hasn't any more title to} the choice river-front lots than a jack rabbit. Yes, Cohasset Won At the conclusion of the inning the score stood 16 to 4—Co- hasset victorious, Floodwood van- quished. The game was played late Sunday afternoon, not being called until five o’clock owing to the rain that was’on the job nearly all day. As it was several innings were play- ed while the wet came down. The grounds were in abominable condi- tion, and there was ample reason and ekeuse for the errors that showed ‘on the card at the conclusion of the contest.The Floodwood boys announc- ed, that some of their best players could not accompany them and their team was picked up without regard to ratings in the base ball arena. Aside from a home run made by Henry Bracket,the game was feature- less.. Len McCracken was “spiked” an first, receiving rather a severe flesh wound on the left hand. He has been laid up since, but the in- jury will not result seriously. The | 3 line-up of the Cohasset team was as! follows: Pitcher, Henry Bracket; catcher, Louis Vashaw; 2nd base, Walter Va- shaw; Ist base, Len McCracken; 3rd} base, Frank Bracket; shortstop, H. | ninth P. Johnson; right field, Ed Mercer; | center field, Wm. Lonar; left field,; Joe \Mix. Umpires, Smith and Swenson. The Cohasset team will go to Floodwood next Sunday to play a re- turn game. Homer Wright has been elected| matiager, and he promises, to lead! the team to many victories before ‘he season closes. The Leader is Gone Mr. P. P. Scott left on Monday for Eik Re and it is feared that he ness in district court. In due time the shells parted ajnd; ‘the downy creatures began to step into the world. When they were all out and the proprietor took an in- voice of his flock, behold, there were 111, and many recounts would not re- duce the! num!ber. Ed says there’s no use going back of the returns— the chickens are there. The only way fhe can account for the extra five is to record a pair of twins and a || set of triplets. Plans Ne~ Store Building H. H. Carrier needs more store room: He has been getting along ih crowded quarters for some time and ‘has at last concluded to put up @ new building of sufficient size to pro- vide ample accommodations for his business and also to give him five pleasant living rooms. The building will be on the site occupied by him at present. The old building willl be moved to the rear of the lots ang will face to the west. Plans prepar- ed show the new building to be 38x \60 feet, one story high. There will be two store rooms, one 16x48, and the other 22x36, with fivd living rooms in the rear. WII: Finish tie t Week Skelly & Calahan expect to com- plete their Smoky Hollow road con- tract next week. The distance of the new road is about two and a half milds and the contract price was ‘$3,500. The fills and grades were con- tinuous from start to finish, but when completed will be a great bene- fit to Cohasset and a great conven- ience to the people residing in the territory that it opens up. Loading Out Ties , Skelly Bros. are shipping out about 5,000 ties per day, from 16 to 18 cars. The steamer Mud! Hen is de- ilvering daily.to.this.point about 6,000 from Leighton lake.

EEPEEEEEEEEPEEEEEEEEEEEEES | : Cohasset Cullings | called on many of his customers here ‘Monday. Mrs. J. B. Bull and son Arthur were passengers to Minneapolis Fri- | day, where they will visit with friends a few days. Mr. C. M. Erskine, of the firm of Stackhouse & Erskine, was a pas- senger to Minneapolis last Thurs- day, where he was called. on busi- ness. Contractor Harley McMillin is still { busy with a crew of men Yn South Cohasset putting up residences for R. K. Stokes, G. G. Wood and Photo- grapher Patton. County Commissioners Morris OyBrien is busy these days looking after his farming imterests, and he is about the hardest man in town to find. Joseph Stivers, operator at the Great Northern depot at ‘Grand- Rap- ids, came up to Cohasset Friday to assist the local orchestra‘ in furnishing music for the schpot commencement exercises. A very necessary piece of street work is being done just west of J. i. Grady’s & Co’s store. The low place ‘in the street has been filled up to the grade and will be surfaced with a generous supply of gravel. Cashier F. J. Skocdopole of the Co- hhasset State bank, has secured a residence building and is rejoicing im the fact that he will soon be able to move his family here to become permanent residents. P. P. Scott, the tireless real estate agent, and H. B. Shoop, who makes his headquarters in Cohasset and is helping in @ clerical way to build the Soo railway, were business visit- ors to Grand Rapids Thursday of last week. If the county commissioners do not finish the Cohasset-Grand Rap- ids highway by graveling the road where the sand is knee deep they! should be individually and collective- ly reprimanded by an out-raged trav- eling public. Mr. Henry Bracket of Mora, Minn., Ys here on a visit to his brother Frank. It has been reported that Hen- ry is somewhat of a twirler, and efforts are being made by the Cohas- set base ball club to induce him to remain here. Frank McMahon ef Grand Rapids has taken charge of the Hotel barber shop, and is enjoying a very satis- factory patronage. He is well known to the people of Cohasset, with whom} he is popular,and if he does not pros- | per and become a business factor in the community it will be his own | fault. The Ladiles Aid society of the M. E. church, is one of the’ most effect- ualand active organizations in Cohas-| set. Without the persistent efforts of the good ladies who belong to the society it would be almost impossible | to maintain a local minister. The Aid} meets regularly every Thursday] afternoon. Parker & Glassford have used all the boat lumber on hand and are temporarily at a stand-still with their boat work until a shipment is receiv- dd. Speaking of boats, reminds us | that this firm is turning out some | of the finest and safest models that | rever navigated the upper Mississippi Many friends are pleased to note the presenca of J. M, Stackfiouse? again at his place of business, after an illness of considerable duration. From close application to business matters for many years Mr. Stack- house became run down physically and was forced to abandon his usual activities. He has concluded to take things easier hereafter, and this course promises to fully restore him to his former good health. C. N. Frees, the druggist, has re- turned from Virginia, after spending a tew.days on.his claimin-+that vicinity which is located in Koochiching county. It is presumed that Mr. Frees has his crops all in and well on the way to maturity, as he looks sun-tan- ned and weather-beaten, just like any old farmer who knows what farming is and how it is done according to the statutes in such case prescribed by the doctor of agricultural ethics. Local Agent Stivers of the Great j Northern station is rated in Cohas- set as one of the most obliging and efficient agents ever accredited to this town. Station agents li,ke post- masters and bankers, are not sup- posed to please everybody, but Mr. Stivers seems to be cutting close to the mark of unanimous popularity. Audley Lemineux left on Friday for Red Lake Falls to spend the sum- mer vacation. None for Itasca County. We note by! the Duluth Evening Herald (that the state’s fish car has been distributing fry to the different lakes and streams north of Virginia, 160,000 wall-eyed pike being put in Sand lake, Wonder why it is that Itasca county has been unable to hare in the distribution of fry? Numerous applications have been made, but the state game and fish commission has turned a deaf ear to the requests. There are many lakes in this vicinity that, if stocked up, would in, a! fewy years have a supply of fish that would delight the hearts of the followers of Isaak Walton. The commission should come off its high from horse and listen to the call Itasca county. 00000000000400+' so8 s .
