D., is expected to put up a legal fight for a share in his moth- er’s estate, It is reputed he receiv- ed $250,000 im trust, two years ago for agreeing not to contest the es- tate, but his attorney, former United Senator Chandler, recently intimated that the alleged settlement was not valid on the grounds Glover had no right to settle for his chil- dren. States EE — There is much misdirected zeal displayed by state officials as is evi- denced by the report of State Labor Commissioner W. E. McEwen, in which he states that many complaints have been received from men work- ing in the lumber camps in the north ern part of the state, complaining of their being congested. Further, the camps were said to be unsanitary Mr. McEwen maybe simcere in his dir ecting attention to these alleged evils, but anyone who has ever liv- ed in northerp Minnesota and Itasca county especially, would know that living in a camp is practically the Barring pains of same as living outdoors. he predence of a few woolen socks, suspended from the walls, we aPe willing to take affi- dayit to the fact that Itasca county camps are sanitary.

We recommend the enlarge- ment of the hot water tank in the jail. “We further recommend the con- struction of a retaining wall at the foot of the hill at the south side o* the court house and jail, which we also understand has been recommenc ed by former grand juries. “We further recommend that xhanges in some of the offices in the court house, with the object o furnishing more room in said of fices, as recommended by former grand juries, be urged. “The county poor farm has been visited by this grand jury in a body we would respectfully report that we found the same in good con- dition, with special reference to the manner in which the inmates there- of are cared for by the superintend: emt thereof, the inmates stating un- wich has been in| 14, complet: | vithout a license near Trout | was indicted on a| THE pleased with the many new and and will be appreciated.

We would recommend the pur- chase of a new range at once as the old one now in use is in a very bad condition, We also find the kitchen of the poor houuse too small. We would further recommend that new eve troughs be placed on the building and also walks rebuilt on the premises. It is also the sense of this pody that the term of officd be extended for a longer period thap one year, which will insure bet- ter satisfaction and better service to the county. “We do highly recommend that if there ‘is no law on the statutes of this state at this time, authorizing the employment of a special acconual a special effort be made to have such a law enacted by the next leg- islature, which would empower the board of county commissioners to appoint such a special accounant at a salary that would seem just nnd proper.

In addition to a wife and son, he leavees a mother, sister and brothers who still reside at St. Stevens, and another sister, Mrs. Eastman, of Minneapolis.
