A TRIP 10 THE NORTH COUNTRY Former Resident of Grand Rapids Returns and Sizes Up the Situation Through Itasca * GOMPARISON FAVORS THIS COUNTY The Season’s Drouth Has Not Wrought Ruin As In Other Sec- tions.--Farmers Are Prosperous and More Progressive. Editor Herald-Review: After being absent from Itasca county more than a year, meeting with the difficult problems of how to exist in old set- tled communities, I am constrained to say: For the investor, the man of moderate means, or a poor man, like myself, there is no place I know anything about like Itasca county. If you please ,takt the present drought as an example. whereever kinds of crops looking well. To be sure rain is meeded, but there will be a fair crop if it doesn’t rain for a mionth yet Why it is so, I do not know, ibut it is a fact that the soil of northern Minnesota will stand more drought than in any other sec- ticn of the country. I think, too, there is a) better calss of farmers. Wherever one goes he meets a mixed population—the Irish, Scotch, Ger- man, Scandinavian, French and Yan- keys—from the east and middle west- and all striving to see which can get the best result from an acre of ground. With such a population this part of the state is bound to go ahead and prosper, regarldless of the untold difficulties they have to con- tend with, such as poor roads, lack of drainage and accessible markets. The farmers up in this north country not only are learning how to take advan- tage of the forces of nature as ap- plied to developing and cultivating the soil, but they are getting their eyes open to the matters pertaining to legislative and political rights, Reapportionmant and a sensible, busi- ness-like method of disposing of state lands will greatly aid in the rapid de- velopment of this part of the state. I stopped in Deer River over night. I was sorry to see so many long faces among some of the business men.. Prohibition seems to be a very bitter pill to swallow. However des- perate some may feel about the pres- ent situation in Deer River, I can see a great future for that town and its surrounding country. The lands opened on the west of Deer River will no doubt add tothe already thrifty and industrious rural popula- tion and prove a permanent business asset to the village in time. And it need be no long distance away when Deer River will have a market for their products, south, east, north and west. The M & R is bound to connect the Canadian border with the Twin cities. Not only so, but it is situated in the center of a district that bids fair to become a fine farming coun- try. The empty buildings that now look so. lonely,if they are not burned up or go to wreck, will become use- ful as vegetable and grain ware houses, and be converted into cream- eries and starch factories. From Deer Dora lake. In several different places along the Jessie lake branch, foerst fires were raging qgnd at times look- ed desperate. The railway company has a large crew of men at work trying to keep the fire under control but if it keeps dry and windy very many days they will not be able to do so. A great deal of valuable tim- ber is being destroyed., It doesn’t look like conservation of our natural resources. But a great deal of con- servation is only on paper anyhow, and talked about for political effect. Bvery other man you meet has a let- Beienliciertnicss Sens River I went north on the M & R. to them to the state conservation meet at St. Paul. Of course, not many of them could spare the time and mon ey to go, but, oh, dear, to get a let- ter from the Govenor of the great state of Minnesota, And, too, at a time when the governor needed effec- tive friends. Now, I didn’t expect to get conservation and politics mixed up, but I guess I did. From Dora lake I went to Burt Cooper’s on the Big-- fork, three miles above the lake. Mr. Cooper is farming and clearing land and is optimistic as to the future of Popple township. Next stop, and for the night, was at Frank Caldwell’s, the old war horse of the Bigfork poe Mr. Caldwell. is .a retired ent, home twalve years.

The edge of Rice lake affords abundant hay and pasture for stock. Besides this he has twenty acres of plow land which by his scientific method of crop rotation he is able to raise corn, oast, clover, to plow under and all kinds of the best variety and qual- ity of vegetables. Over west, from Mr. Caldwell’s on the east bank of Squaw lake, the famous duck hunt- ing waters, lives an old soldier and a former Grand Rapids resident, Mr. Geo. Cowan. Mr, Cowan made a five year proof on a homestead. He has good substantial.improvements, which is greatly to his credit, for he is an old man and in poor Health. 'T. H. WELLS.

CHAMPION James J. Jeffries Met Defeat at Reno, Navada, at Hands of John Arthur Johnson. THE FIGHT WAS ON THE SQUARE First Three Rounds Were Listless, After That Clearly Johnson’s Fight—Is Now Uudisputed Heavyweight Champion. James J. Jeffries, the idol of the American pugilistic world, was de- feated at Reno, Nev., on July 4th, by John Arthur Johnson, Jeffries be- ing brought to his knees in the 15th round by uppercut blows to the jaw, and Johnson is now the acknowledg- ed heavyweihgt champion of the world. While Jeffries was not act- ually counted out, he was saved only from this crowning shame by his friends pleading with Johnson not to hit ‘the fallen man again. At the end of the fifteenth round, Referee Tex Richard raised the powerful arm of the big black and the crowd filed out glum and silent. Johnson walked out of the ring without a mark, with the exception of a slight cut on the lip, while his opponent was badly punished about the face and head. The first three to|rounds were fought in.a listless man- per, neither man displaying any ing his great strength and skill and it could clearly be seen from that time on that Jeffries had no chance. His old-time ability to take a ter rible beating and still bore in un- till he found the vulnerable spot in his enemny’s guard was gone and he fought as thought by instinct, while Johnson’s guard was inpenetratable and he was easily master of the situa tion all the time. The end was swift and terrible and it looked as though Johnson had friends of {been holding himself under cover all the rest of the time and now that he had measured Jeffries in all his weaknesses, he had determined to end it quickly. Jeffries faught by instinct but he had lost the power of defense and a series of rights and lefts s« him stagering half way through the ropes and he lay a conquered cham~- pion. eceecoeene: Grand Rapids Village Lots for sale on easy terms.
