VoL, XXI.—No, 11 Granp Rapibs, Irasca CounTY, MINN., Wepnespay, AUGUST 31, IgIo. Two Dollars a Year. FILINGS ARE NOW ALL REGISTERED Thirty-Six Names Are Officially Recorded in the Auditor’s Office W'GOWAN WILL RUN ALONE At the Last Monent the Weaklings File Against Strong Candidates and the Woods Will be Full of Wouldbes. Today is the last day of filing for office and, as the auditor’s office closes at 5 o’clock, p. m., all who in- tend running for office, subject to the will of the voters at the primaries, will have filed for office before this issue of the Herald-Review is ente: ed at the postoffice. There are at present four in the field for the office of county attorney W. A. Rossman the first Republican to file for the office, looks like < winner. He is known throughout the county as a man of high gharacter. He is well versed in the law, is conscientious and would not use the office to further his own personal ends. Richard ‘A. McOuat, who recently located at Coleraine for the prac- tice’ of law, filed for the office of County attorney on the Democratic ticket last week. He is a clean cut young man, apparently, and will make a good showing, if he is a hustler. H. W. Stark filed for the of- fice Monday, subject to the will of the Republican voters at the primaries. Frank F. Price, who was elected on the Democratic ticket two years ago has not filed at this writing and it is hardly probable that he will enter the race. WILLARD A. ROSSMAN Republican Candidate for the office of County Attorney of Itasca county R. A. Stone who is a law partner of G. Spear has also filed. Inasmuch as his camdidacy will be accepted as a Spear scheme, his nomination is not to be desired. This county has been Speared once, and once is enough. Later—Price filed. For the office of judge of probate there are four in the field, R. H. Bailey having withdrawn. Charles Kearney, who is a candidate for the office, is making friends every- where and from the reports coming in from different parts of the county he will undoubtedly be the mominee. An old resident of the county and respected as one of Grand Rapids’ most upright citizens, it is not to be wondered at. The voters will make no mistake im cast- ing their ballot for him. H. S. Huson, the present incumb- ent, has had the office for some time and, as he is also well known throughout the county, the will undoubtedly be an one. John Lefevre filed yesterday morn- ing for the office of Judge of Pro- bate. nounced socialists in the county, the} fact that he filed as a Republican | must be taken as a convenience. Clarence B. Webster, a young at- tormey of Bovey filed yesterday for the Democratic nomination. He will be nominated. Glen Strader, who was appointed to the office of county treasurer is another official who will have op- fight ; interesting ' As he is one of the most pro-! position, Since taking charge of the office he has administered its affairs with painstaking carefulness and deserves to be elected. Be ing familiar with the banking busi- ness, he was no stranger to the work and it is safe to assert the affairs of the office have never been more efficiently administered. Keo LeRoux, his opponent, is em- ployed as salesman for the Costello Bottling works and during his visits on the range he has had ample op- portunity to become acquainted with many of the voters. \Mrs. Hattie F. Booth, our present efficient county superintendent schools, is a candidate for re-elec- tion and she has become so popular swith} the parents as well as pupil: of the county that she will undoubted ly be her own successor. During her time in office she has brought the rural schools to the highest point of efficescy. Mrs. Stella Whipple is also a can- didate for the office of county sup- erintendent of schools, having filed as a Republican. id M. A. SPANG Candidate for Re-election to the of- fice of County Auditor. “Miss Emogeme Wenans of Deer River, also filed for the office last week, but after seeing the many evidences of Mrs. Booth’s popularity. decided to withdraw from the race. M. A. Spang, the present efficient county auditor has completec his fourth term and the records of his office are so well kept and he jhas given such good service to the tax payers that he has no opposition. Since typing the foregoing, a man named Charles R. Gates of Coleraine has filed as a Republican for the nomination as county auditor. The Herald-Review does not know Mr. Gates. After looking up his record we will tell the people of Itasca county who he is and where he came from. E. J. McGowan, register of deeds, is another official who is complet- ing his fifth term and has given gen- eral satisfaction. On account of the many diversified interests in Itasca county the office of register of deeds is a important one ‘and he has administered its af- fairs in the most satisfactory man- ner possible. He has no opposition. John A. Brown, for county sur- veyor, is a candidate to succeed himself and, as he has no opposi- tion, there is no doubt of his win- | ning out. Dr. Thos. Russell, county coroner, is another who is a candidate to succeed himself and the genial doc- tor ‘will have no opposition. T. T. Riley, who is a candidate to succeed himself as sheriff of Itas- ca county, is an official the vot- ers can well be proud of. He has administered the affairs of his of- fice without fear or favor and, a though many obstacles have been placed in his path, he has made good and his unanimous re-election will be a just recognition of his real worth.

RILEY Candidate for Re-election to the of- fice of Sheriff of Itasca County, FRAME FOR ROUND HOUSE GOING UP Will Be Five Stall Frame Structure, 90x92 Feet—Work Progress- ing Rapidly. WILL INCREASE CITY'S POPULATION Foreman Christianson, of Superior, Has Charge of Work—Tracks Leading to Roundhouse Already Laid. Reports were current for some time that the Great Northern had aband- oned its idea of building a round house at Grand Rapids on account of changing the run of the trains on the Grand Rapids extension. These reports were stilled, how- ever, when the work of erecting of the round house was commenced, Th building, which is a frame structure, is already well umder course of con- struction and will be completed about October 1. It will be 90x92 feet and, contrary to general ex- pectations, will not be round, but nearly square. It will be a five- stall house and this will necessitate more employes to care for the engines, round house and other ap- purtenances to a division point. Tracks have already been laid lead- ing from the “Y” to the round house and all the necessary grading has been done. A cinder pit is also being made, over which the engines stand, when they come in from a run, to have the grates cleaned. The cinders fall into an open car under- neath and then are hauled out and used for ballast. s The “Blue Goose,” the route -of which was changed to run from (ass Lake to Kelly Lake, instead of fom Grand Rapids, will probably f #e changed back to its old schedule in ARCHIE McWILLIAMS County Commissioner from District No. 5. the near future, as it is rumored the expenses is greater than under the old plan, which was the reason for the change of route. FILINGS FOR THE LEGISLATURE One Candidate for Senate and Eight for the Lower House.

Six have filed for the Republican nomination; one Public Ownersifip and one Pro- hibitionist. For the senate D. M. Gunn of Grand Rapids stands without opposition as a candidate for the Republican nomination. There are no Démocrats in the list, which fol- pws: Senate; Damiel M Gunn, Rep., Grand Rapids. House: T.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO OPEN TUESDAY Teachers Beginning to Arrive to Arrange Work in Readiness for Opening of School. TWO NEW DEPARTMENTS THIS YEAR Commercial Department and Normal School Training Department Will Attract Many Pupils to Grand Rapids Schools. The Grand Rapids schools will open for the 1910-11 term Tuesday September 6, and already the teach- ers are arriving so >< to have ample time to arrange their work and the courses of study. Carpenters are at work at the high school pbuilding remodelling the assembly room and dividing it into recitation rooms. The two center rows of seats have been removed from the auditorium which will be used for an as- sembly room, and the 150 Columpia tablet chairs, which will be used for the students, are being set up. There are many changes in the faculty of the Grand Rapids schools this year, there ibejng eleven new teachers already elected, while the position of teacher of sciences has not yet been filled. The new teachers are: Miss Harriet Kum- merer, Miss Agnes S. Bryan, A. B. Scott, R. C. Hoisington, Miss Kath- erine Roney, Miss Charlotte Mallory, Miss Katherine Clifford, Miss Erna Rheinberger, Miss Sophia Thomas, Miss Helen L. Coleand Miss Carrie E. Trogan. The old assembly room has been divided into four recitation rooms, three of ordinary size while the fourth was designed purposely for the branches having large classes. The science department will be re- JOHN P. TREBILCOCK County Commissioner from District No 3, moved to the southwest room and the room formerly used will be add- ed to the domestic science depart- ment which was particularly in need of more room. The eighth grade will have the northeast room, while the seventh grade, which will be remov- ed from the Central building, will have the room directly south of the eighth grade room. Two new departments have been added, they are the Commercial and Normal training courses. The com- mercial department will be presided over by Prof. A. B. Scott, a graduate of Ann Harbor and an experienced and successful instructer. The course will cover three years of school work and will give the stud- ents a eomplete knowledge of com- mercial work. The normal training department will occupy the room made vacant by the moving of the seventh grade to the High schoel puilding, which change was made necessary by the faet that a part of the normal course will consist of practical lessons and pupils will be placed in charge of different grades. ‘The normal course will take up the same work as the state normal schools and students will be given credits for their work the same as at the state normal schools. This department is supported by state aid, all the district being required to do is to furnish quarters. Supt. Freeman, who has success- fully brought. the Grand Rapids schools to ‘eir present high stand- ard of efficienéy will again be at the head of the Grand Rapids schools and the board is to be congratulated on retaining him, as he is recogniz- ed as one of the best school super- intendents in the state. The attend ance has been increasing steadily and at the opening of school this year it is estimated that there will be between 650 and 700 pupils. The board has carefully chosen the teach- ers and it is expected that the coming year will be the most suc- cessfulinthe history of the schools. Following is the list of teachers: High School Building E. A. Freeman, City Schools, Mary O. Lothrop, High School Prin- cipal, Florence Burlingame, English Ada Kremer, German and Latin, Harriet Kummerer, Mathematics Superintendent of CHARLES KEARNEY Republican Candidate for the office of Judge of Probate of Itasca county.

Ready for Occupany October 1. The McAlpine block will be ready for occupancy October 1, so stated M. McAlpine to a Herald-Review representative yesterday, the con- tractors have assured him it would be complete on that date. The steam fitters have practically completed the work of installing the heating plan, radiators, etc., and all that is lack- ing now is the finishing work on the ground floor and the fronts. AS stated in a former issue, the Bodega will occupy the corner room, Lieber- man Bros will occupy the double store room and it is very probable that John Bilodeau will rent the cafe room. The Reishus-Remer Co. will occupy the office rooms on the ground floor facing on Leland avenue. E.

ONLY ENTER HERDS IN ONE COUNTY. Cup Was Secured for Grand Rapids by Supt. A. J. McGuire, Who Is Vice-President of the Minne- sota Dairymen’s Ass’n. Stock raisers should take more than ordinary interest in Itasca county’s fair this year, for it is at these county fairs that the raiser of stock learns to judge cattle as they are judged by buyers. Northeastern Minnesota is particularly adapted to dairying purposes and as the county becomes more settled, better strains of cattle are imported and conse- quently higher standards are reached, The prizes offered by the county fair association are substantial enough to attract the attention of any ambitious stock raiser, but in order to encourage the breeding of better dairy stock in Minnesota, the Minnesota State Dairyman’s associa- tion has offered as premiums at several of the county fairs, large silver loving cups, valued at $50. Following are the rules laid down by the association: “Breeders and farmers may compete for cups only n ome county. Thus the prize will go to an actual farmer or breeder in the locality. No cattle shown at the state fair or dairy shows will be permitted to enter for the _ silver loving cup at the county fairs. The herds to be in competition are te consist of one pure bred sir, any dairy breed, and three or more fe- males, either grades or pure-breds,of the same breed, any age will be GLEN STRADER Republican Candidate for the office of County Treasurer of Itasca County. admissable. Fairs receiving these prizes must select a competent judge of dairy cattle,either approved by the Minnesota Experiment Station, or the State Dairyman’s association. The prizes above referred to will be awarded only where there is com petition of two or more exhibits, and no state institution will be permitted to exhibit stock in competition for cups.” The following towns have been awarded cups in accordance with the specifications and rules above given: Arlington, Albert Lea, Cokato, Fer+ tile,Farmington, Grand Rapids,Hutch> inson, Mankato, LeSueur Montevi- deo, Northfield, Owatonna, Pine City, St. Peter, Rush City, Austin, Barnum, Litchfield, Fairmont, Hermaa, Luverne, Madison, Long Prairie, New Ulm, Plainview, Rochester and Red- wood Falls. As will be noted by going over _ - the list, le than a third of {he anties in state are given loving cups anti it will also be noted that the counties receiving cups are noted for their dairy herds, hence [tasca county was given no small honor when Grand Rapids was named as one of the villages to receive cups. Credit for securing the cup for Grand Rapids is due not only to the strains of cattle raised in this vicinity, but also to the efforts of Supt. A. J. McGuire, of the North» east Experiment farm, who is vice (Continued on page five) a wee
