The Keewatin public school build- ing contains four rooms and is at- tended by about*150 boys and girls. Following is the school faculty: Miss Grace Vipond, Grand Rapids, principal seventh and eighth grades; Miss Eva Hathaway, Duluth, fourth, fifth and sixth grades; Miss Genevieve Canary, Minneapolis, second and third grades: Miss Randall, first grade; Miss -Gen- eva Kruecher, primary department. That the corps is an efficient one enced by the fact that the Keewatin spelling team met the Stev+ enson team both here and at Steven- here The building is modern in every particular, with hot water plant and cost complete, about $10,000. New Business Enterprises. The King Lumber which has yards at Grand Rapids, Marble and Deer River, has already commented the erection. of an office building and yards and will soon put in a stock of lumber of all kinds and description This is something that has been lack- ing for sometime. Keewatin will soon have another general store to be known as the Keewatin Mercantile Co. J Conte, of Stevenson, is the prime factor in the new establishment and has pur- chased lots just east of the Keewatin hotel building where he will erect a two story building with a frontage of fifty feet. Activity In The Mines. The land aroind Keewatin being for most part ore bearing, it necessar- ly follows that the future of Kee- watin depends upon the activity in the mines and prospects in this line look very good. Stripping operations will be continued on a large scala. It is stated the St. Paul mine will oper- ate four or five shovels and will em- ploy about 400 men. The Mississippi mine now has about 200 employed and it is also stated their force will be increased to about 300, while the Bray mine will employ about 200 men The quality of the ore around Kee watin is very good and the supply is tically inexhaustible. Citizen$' Are Law-Abiding. The spirit as well as the letter of the law is obeyed by Keewatin citi- zens and since the saloon keepers were notified by sheriff Riley that St. Paul Mine, Keewat in, Employing 400 Men , defeating them on both occasion ulthough it will not be long can well be proud of her larger quarters will be neces- Keewatin First State Bank Building. The First State bank is an institu; tion that Keewatin can well be proud of Although only incorporated a time ago, it is already doing a good business and when spring comes mines put on full crews, short and the Cashier Wakkinen will have his hands full the institution is certainly a credit to the town. It is 25x58 feet, two story with basement, built of Meno- minee hydralic pressed brick with granite trimmings and the ground floor is finished in white Oak with floors, while the second flcor is finished in yellow pine. The bank xccupies quarters on the ground floor and there is also a store room in which is conducted aclothing business by Erick Johnson. The bank fixtures d to compare favorably with part of the state and mmmented on by the state bank iner on his last visit. They ar@ fumed oak with marble trimmings and certainly present a fine appear- ance. The vault’ is an unusually large one and is ample to accommodate alll business for years to come. The s of the bank are L. M. Bolter, D nt; A. C. Bossard, vice-presi- dent; F. \ Wakkinen, cashier. The second floor is devoted entirely to office rooms and they are certainly: well finished off and all have gqod- light. Attorneys J, C. Lewis of Nash- wauk and E. H. Bither, of Bovey, have rented quarters in the new any in this were building and will have branch octoes Gegietye score of 49 to 15. Following ‘the state laws must be lived up to, there have been no violations, Sever- jal proprietors of thirst emporiums | Stated they would do all in their pow |er to aid Sheriff Riley in his work of seeing that the law is obeyed and ‘they also state they are glad thai the blind pig joints in the locations are being put out of business as | these sightless creatures are a detri- | ment to them. | Village Caucus Friday Evening. At a caucus held Friday evening The building which is owned by the following ticket was nominated | ‘to be voted on at the village election hoa March 14: For president, Ed. Coch- ran; councilmen, Pat McGuire, | Archie Leach and John Murphy; vil- } | lage clerk, Charles White; treasurer, | wm. | | Charles Eckstrom; constables, | Dolan and John Johnson. 1 Second Richest Village; in County. | | The many municipal improvements _that have been made have not drain- jed the village coffer, however. There is still a goodly supply in the village treasury and it is accounted | for from the fact Keewatin is the second richest village in the county | and one of the richest in northern Minnescta, having a valuation cf $3,-| 5,870. The village of Marble has| the highest valuation. t Keewatin Five Victorious. | Like everything else, when Kee- | | watin goes in for sports she puts forth her best efforts and the city j basket ball team is establishing a re- ,putation for itself. It defeated the |Grand Rapids team, considered th> | Strongest high school team in the northern part of the state, about two weeks ago, and on Saturday evening defeated the Hibbing Olivers by the | | -was the lineup of the teams: Hib- bing—Greenfield and Hait, forwaras; Couture, center; Johneon and Firn- stahl, guards. Keewatin—Lofberg and Denney, forwards; Roberis, cen- cer; Reusswig and Banning, guards. The Hibbing team played a hard game, but seemed to be unable td focate the basket, while the Keo watin team were shooting very fre queatly as is evidenced by the score. Keewatin’s team work was also much better and Hibbing scemed unable to break up their plays. News Notes. Village Clerk J. J. Roberts | has been spending the week in Minneapo- lis purchasing supplies for the electric light plant, he having been appointed to do this work by the vil- lage council. ; Supt. Logee, of the electric light plant, and his wife are occupying rooms at the Keewatin hotel and will make Keewatin their permanent abid- ing place: They will be a welcome addition to the social life of the village. We noticed the following placard posted conspiciously in the Kentucky Liquor store: Lost—on or about 11 o'clock a. m., of February 10, ap- proximately, one white for terrier dog with black ears. $50 offered for apprehension of the animal. Kentucky Liquor store or the Tree. Sheriff T. T. Riley, cf Grand Rap- ids, was out at the location Saturday, but we understand the sightless ones , all took to the tall timber when they heard of his arrival. The Keewatin hotel is now con- ducted by W. J. McAllister. The ser- vice is first class and Mr. McAllister is working up a very lucrative pat- | ronage. Keewatin needs a larger depot. This fact was made plainly apparent Saturday evening, when passengers stood in the stuffy little waiting room from 6:55 until 9:20 o'clock, waiting for the ‘Merry Widow,” which was delayed by a wreck on the Swan River-Kelly Lake line. ‘There is room, when packed in like sardines, for about eighteen people and there was fully double that num- ber waiting for the train. Consequent ly the S. R. O. sign was out. Kee- watin citizens state that if this state of affairs is not remedied they will ask relief from the railroad and warehouse commission. L. M. Bolter, of Grand Rapids, pre- sident of the First State bank at this place, was in the village on busi- ness connected with that institution Saturday afternoon. Notify ; Pine I! ' village of good fellowship and some .times the vilage of single blessed- ness on account of the number of |young men who make it their home and who have not yet been stung by matrimonial bee. Anyhow, single or married, they’re all good fellows with hearts as big as pails, as Archie Archer, locomotive engineer at the Hill mine will testy. It seems that Archer, several years ago, injured his skull. At that time, however, it was not thought to be serious. Of late, he was attacked by fits, epelep- tic in character, and it was found on examination they were produced by the injured skull pressing against cer tain portions of the brain. The boys talked the matter over and decided he should be sent to Rochester, which was done about three weeks ago and a letter was received Satur- day stating the operation was success- ful and that he soon expects to. be jat the throttle again. Marble News Notes. Dr. Gilbert went to Grand Rapids ‘Saturday evening to remain over Sunday and to incidently pick out | a stock of tcbacco for his pharmacy.

The Dixie Jubilee singers, who ap- peared here Thursday evening were greeted by a large sized house and they certainly made a hit, judging from the number of encores they re- sponded to. The Marble band.which was.organiz- ed last summer has already estab- lished a reputation for the excellence of its renditions and the concerts given during the: winter are eagerly looked forward to. The next band concert will be given Saturday even- ing. Harry Margerlas, head salesman at Peck’s emporium, went to Hibbing Frdiay evening to take in a scenic production.
