After Supt..McGuire, who was chair- man of the meeting, had stated its purpose, the gathering was briefly addressed by M. J. Cort, a creamery organizer with more than. 20 years experience, who thinks Itasca county 19 the coming dairy country of the northwest. Mr. McGuire stated it would be necessary to raise $2,000 among the farmers and that he had also requested $1,500 from the uni; versity appropriation, which means that when this is available the farm- , ers will only be compelled to pay | states he will put up about half the value of the stock pur dhased. Im return for this $1,500 Mr..McGuire w'll conduct.exper mente for the state at the creamery. The election of officens was then held. The following were elected: A. J. McGuire, president; Neil Mc- Kinley, vice-president; O. J. Niles, secretary; A. M. Sisler, treasurer; Wm. Hoolihan, E. L. Buck and Frank B. Gran, directors. The association has been offered a leage of the block of ground om the Mississippi river, just east of * the paper. mill and the location will be | decided on by ‘the board of directors fnd announced at the next meeting which will be held February 6. During the meeting the fact was brought out that E. J. Bertrong, one of the shareholders, who owns a4 farm between Shoal and Prairie lake is an old amd experienced buttermak- er who came io northern Mimnesota | in search of health. He found it alright, and, with the aid of hard work, has a good, productive farm to show for his labors. ’ Machinery of the latest and most improved pattern has been purchas- ed and the work of building will be commenced in April. The machinery was purchased through M. J. Cort of the Creamery Package Mfg. Co., of Minneapolis, Previous to the meeting a slip was circulated among the farmers com taining the following interesting fig- ures: “The cows on the Experiment farm in 1910 averaged 5,488.8 pounds of milk, and 260.8 pounds of butter per cow. Tihe value of the butter at 30 cents per pound was $79.49 per cow. Cost of stall feed $30.16 per cow. Net profit, $49.33 per cow. The act- ual sale from.the dairy on Experiment farm—the money turned into the state treasury from the sale of dairy products, during the year of 1910, amounted to $2,913.45, This wae from a herd of 28 cows and 7 heifers,” The above figures are certainly ‘proof enough that there is a profit im dairying. Supt. McGuire stated he has already received word that a Hibbing concern will willingly take all the salable cream, but the fact phould also be not forgotten that the Costello Bottling works, a home concern, will also be im the market for cream and will undoubtedly be able to handle it ali. Ice Harvest Now On ‘The annual ice harvest is now on and John Costello and his crew of men have been, kept more than busy filling the ice houses in the various parts of town. The cakes are 27 in- ches thick, 20x48, amd Mn. Costello 7,000 tons. The ice js taken from Crystal lake and is, if possible, better than that of last year. Copyright 190, by C.

The Castle Square entertainers Who appearad at the high school auditorium Thursday evening under letic agsociation, were all that the advance notices said of them and more, too. There was not a dull moment during the entire evening and ithe repeated encores| testified to their appreciation by the audience. The certainly proved themselves en- tentainers of more than ordinary merit. Grand Rapids was enabled to secure them on account of an un- booked daitie and dispite the fact that only a short time was gvien for ad- vertising, the auditorium was well filled.

Sheriff Riley had official business in Keewatin one day last week and while in the village talked with a mumber of citizens, imcluding men vengaged in the saloon business, re- lative to the strict enforcement of the liquor laws. He found, since serving notice that he would ar- west any pensom who failed in any mianner to observe the laws, that Keewatin is a model town in that respect. Saloon men say they pre fler to ciose up at 11 a'clock p. m. and keep their places close@ on Sundey. When all work in harmony to this end no trouble will fallow. They find the right way to be the best way, and they are well satisfi- ed wiht the firm stand taken by Sheriff Riley.

P. Hunt, who goes on February lst to Eau Claire, Wis., to act as general secretary of the new Y. M. CG. A. there, Norman K. Tully is the man whom the Olivet Scouts will salute and ad- [dress as “Sir Scoutmaster.” Mr. Tul- jly ss associate religious work direct- or at the Y. M. C. A., and as such has been attending to al? the steno- graphic work im the director’s of- fice and holding meetings every day at shops about St. Paul. The “Y” ee eee noontime meetings at four ‘railroad shops, at the St Paul foundry and pt the street, car barns on Snelling avenue. These have been in change of Mr. Tully, and he has won; for himself the bigh regard of all the. workmen tq whom he has brought entertainment and a message of ’|real interest and imprtance. But the Boy Scouts whom he will direct in Merriam Park, as well as Scouts everywhere, will be more in- terested doubtless, to hear how well qualified Mr. Tully is to be a scout- master. He has lived a life that has fitted him admirably for his work. He was born in Nova Scotia nearly \twebith-five years ago, and when 10 came to Grand Rapids, Minn, with bis parents. For seven years there- after he spent most of his time out of doors, in the woods and swamps. He was a strong boy, and when 14 years old sawed in the woods with a man of 35 at the other end of the cros-cut. At 16, when he wasn’t saw- ing, he was driving a skidding team or “swamping.” Now “swamping” is difficult work. The swamper goes ou into the swamps and, often standing almost up to his knees in water and mud, cuts small timber. The Tully boy, however, knew how to take care of himself under such conditions, and his health was not impaired. In the summer, when he was in; his teens, he worked also in the wild meadows, cutting grass with, a scythe —an armstrong mowing machine, as it was called. This work also kept his feet wet most of the time. In 1906 he came to St. Paul and en- tered Macalester college. He wasn’t a Boy scout then, but he knew the scour trick of earning money, and worked his way through college. One thing hei did was to tctor Latin. Another was to preach every Sunday at the North side mission. Tuis latter he continued for three years. the auspices of the high school ath- | every Sunday to Blooming Prairie ana j ‘UNWRITTEN LAW held religious services there, But he is primarily an out-of-doors man and has been since he was big enough to run around. So the open | country called him in the summer of | 1906. He went then into Dickey coun ty, North Dakota, established miis.i0 at Forbes and at Merricourt, in op- posite ends of the big couniy, and | traveled between, them on a brown | Indian pony. When harvest time came he got a Jeb in the fields and help- ied) gamer the graim, and, replenish his purse. So it appears that the Olivet boys are lucky. Having lost a scoutmaster who had proven himself one of the most capable leaders of scouts im th‘; pant of the country, and one of the most popular, they are going to gain | one who is well fitted physically and | temperamentally for the work, and who doubtless will lead them merrily | on many a good hike and camping izip, His deep imterest in boys and his devotion ito religion have been | proven, and the Rev. Everett P. | Lesher, pastor of Olivet. church, and | all others who know Mr. Tully, are congratulating themselves on being able to optain his services. Mr. Tully will meet wiith the Olivet boys for the first time next Friday evening. The retiring scoutmaster wi be there them for the last time and he will imtroduce his successor to the Scouts. Mr. Lesher, who has known Mr. Tully for some time, also will tell the boys something about him. — Girls Still Victorious The girls’ basket ball team of the Grand Rapids high school have won every game played this year. Their latest, victory was at Aitkin Friday evening here they defeated the team at that, place by ‘the close score of 8 to 6. Following is the line-up:— Grand Rapids, Ruth Beckfelt, r. f.; Mariam Cordes, }. f.; Margaret Mc- Alpine, c.; Mary Brandon, r. g.; and Blanche Gaard, 1. g. Aitkin, Sarah Lourie, r. f.; Margaret Cluff, 1. f. liftiea Chute, -c:;~Rena Juver, r. g.; and Edith Simpson, 1. ¢. The score was 6 to 0 im Grand Rapids’ favor at the end of the first ‘half, but during the last half the Aitkin, girls took a, spurt and the game ended, as given above. At the contlusion of the game the teams and visitors were bamqueted and the losers proved themselves good en- tertainers. Modest Murry Tavlor From ‘the Deer River News, edited by M. J. Taylor, present postmaster of his town: “For several months past there ha been a Tush on among asp‘rants for postmastership for Deer River to succeed M. J, Taylor whose tern expires Feb. 4th. Among those imown to be zealously secking the plum are J. D. Burgess, B. R, Carter, George Herreid George Ruby and Leonard Scoit. “Report from Washington in the daily papers today states that Con- gressman M‘Ner has recommended Leonard Scott for the appointment. “M. J. Taylor has asked to be give | a second term, and as jit is the rule of the department to reappoint post- masters of pres‘dential offices after the first. term if their record is good, Mr. Taylor believes he will be favor- ed. Mr. Taylor’s record is clean and if he is not, reappointed it is a con- s§usive proof ‘that politics sti is overriding the department, and the service is not taken “out of politics” yet, as claimed.” Returns to Hibbing John Mick, of Calumet came to Hiib- bing Thursday morning to make fin- al preparations for the opening of a FREES BOWSTRING Jury in Case of State vs. Bowstring Joe Returns Verdict of Not Guilty. CASE ATTRACTED MUCH ATTENTION On Account of Defendant Confess- ing That He Killed John Cald- well for Assaulting His Wife, Susan Bowstring It was certainly a happy bunch of In@ans that filed out of the court room Saturday morning when, Deputy Clerk Kearney read the verdict in the Caldwell murder case, the jury finding the defendant, Bowstring Joe, ‘not guilty of the charge. They at Rrst did mot credit their own ears, but when they saw Bowstring walk out of the court house a free man, their joy knew no bonds. The evidence was substantially the same as that in the case of James Goggle Eye, who was charged with the same crime and who was acquit- ted by the jury, as instructed by the judge, with out. leaving the jury box, In many instances being the same, word for word. Frank Caldwell testified to the In- dians being at his home on the day of murder, while Bert Caldwell testifi ed to finding the body of John Cald- well on the shore of Sand lake the following day. His testimony was corroborated by Chas. Sands. Joe Goggle Bye testified to taking Caldwell to the Bert Caldwell land- ‘mg where a change of boats was made, Caldwell and Susan Bowstring taking the lead, and Bowstring and Goggle Eye trailimg behind in the other boat. While gaing through, the narrows from Little Sand lake to Sand Jake, the boat containing the two Indians became stuck on a log, and they shouted for help. Caldwell an@ Susan came back to help as did also Joe ,Goggle Eye’s brother, James, who was down the lake. In getting the boat off the log, Joe Goggle Eye got hik feet wet and as ft was late im the fall, he per- suaded his brother to take his place, while he returned. home. James Goggle Eye was called to the stamd at this juncture afd took up the ‘thread of the marrative. He stated he continued down the lake with Bowstwing Joe and testified of having a ¢rink on the lake shore and the subsequent. killing of Cald- well by the defendamt. Susan Bow- string related, substantially the same story. The case went to the jury Friday evening and they returned a verdict the next morning. Wish Them Success.
