It'll only get dirty again.” “Sre, what's the use of eating, you'll get hungry again and it costs money too.” Mrs. J. N. Brown returned from Fiaxton, N.

Killoran, who has charge of the | Swan River Logging Co.’s operations | in the Deer River district. Charley Brown and other Cohasset- ites were in town yesterday after- noon and intended to journey by au-, to to Hibbing where the Brown- Gary athletic exhibit was held but were doomed to disaappointment as no machine was available. “Hello, Mrs. B., have you started | to make your Fall suit yet? Oh no, | Mrs. S., I’ve ordered mine from Rad- ford’s, through The Art Tailors. You see it costs no more and saves me all the bother, besides it’s tailor- | made. You better try them too.” Mrs. A. J. McGuire was a south- } bound passenger today. She will give attention to a new method of, bookkeeping imaugurated at the | state university, which will be in- troduced at the Northeast Experi-; ment farm. H. R. Briggs and family of Marble have moved in the Episcopal church rectory.

The Herald-Re- view extends congratulations. riage A party of ladies to the number of sixteen pleasantly surprised Mrs. Edward Jetland Tuesday afternoon, it being Mer natal day, and before taking their departure presented her with a rocker chair in remembrance of the octasion. The ladies brought eatables with them and during the afternoon a luncheon was served. * R. H. Dennis, the tailor, has dis- posed of his establishment at Hibb- ing and has moved his family to Grand Rapids. Since coming here Mr. Dennis has worked up a_ nice business and he shows his faith in the future prospects of the village by disposing of his interests at Hibb- ng rather than at Grand Rapids. A deal was made last week where- by i. BE. Benjamin disposed of the G restaurant to Lord & Retten- house. The latter gentlemen, how- ever, tired of their bargain and they in turn disposed of the business to lat the Ogema, Pokegama lake, past six months. Mr. Hanvill an- ounces that everything has been put in first-class shape and he is mow able to properly attend to the wants of his patrons. The last English Lutheran services this month will be held at the Swed- ish Lutheran church Sunday after- noon. Preaching at 3 o'clock; Sun- day school at 4. Rev. Carl Giesler, who* had charge of the work during the past year, will return to the college to finish his studies. Rev. Paul Roehrs will be permanently or- chined in September. Ladies, if you need a new suit or coat or skirti or an old one repaired, velined or dry-cleaned, see The Art Tailors. They are in fine shape to care for ladies’ work now as_ they have a man tailor who is a specialist in women’s clothes and a lady with several years experience in ladies’ tailoring with them and whether it be a large or small piece of work it will receive their most careful at- tention, Chas. P. Doran was an arrival to- day from Hill City where he has been engaged in the hotel business for a year or so. He has disposed of his interests there and expects shortly to be re-established in busi- ness. While in Hill City Mr. Doran says he did a good business but the building of two new hotels and a decrease in general patronage indi- cates that some other town might be better for the present. Frank A. Anderson, janitor at the high school, returned Saturday last from Mt. Clemens, Mich., where he received treatment for rheumatism at the springs. Mr. Anderson has suffered much during the past three years and his friends are pleased to see that he is greatly improved. At present he feels entirely relieved from rheumatic torture, and it is to be hoped that the cure will prove permanent. Mrs. Hattie Hamilton of Minneapo- lis, who has been the guest of Mrs. ‘D. M. Gunn, spent last week with ‘her hostess at Wolf Lake lodge. A party, at which Mrs. Hamilton will be the honor guest, will be given this afternoon, by Mesdames W. J. Pow- ers and T. R. Pravitz. Mrs. Gunn ‘will entertain a number of friends, including Mrs. Hamilton, at the ‘Wolf Lake lodge next week. Rev. J. G. Larson, rector of the church of the Holy Communion, an- nounces that services will be held as follows: Holy Communion at 8 o'clock a. m., Sunday school at ten o'clock; morning prayer and sermon at eleven o'clock and the evening service at eight o’clock. Rev. E. Spencer Murphy, formerly rector here, will have charge of both the morning and evening service and it is expected the church will be crowd- ed at both services. Will Bless New Bell. The mew bell at St. Joseph’s Cath- olic church will be blessed with ap- | propriate ceremonies Sunday after- noon, August 12, at 2:30 o’clock.

He will be pleased to have you call to get acquainted at these hours, at other times he can be found at his home in Cohasset. Jake Enjoying the Journey. Our erstwhile citizen of Grand Rapids and later of Deer River, is ptting in the summer, accompanied by Mrs. Mohr, on the other side of the Atlaitic. .Mr. Mohr drops fre- quent letters and postal cards to his friends hereabouts and keeps them advised as to Ris travels. The fol- lowing item is from the Deer River News and will be read with inter- est by many friends of the European sightseers: ‘Numerous friends are receiving post cards from Mr. and Mrs. Jake Mohr who are travelling in Europe. The latest received “by The News editor is from Luzern, Switzerland, mailed July 25th in which Mr. Mohr says they are hav- ing a fine time and are well.

They complained of much hot weather from the time they landed in France, but at date of writing it was made quite cool by a snow storm in the mountains. They were to leave last Wednesday for Rome.” Wachtel & Hansen, The Art Tail- ors. New Form of Silo. Supt. A. J. MeGaffre, of the North- east Experiment farm, has been working in conjunction with the ex- tension division of the university for me time on a new form of _ silo, to be composed of semi-circular hol- low clay tile, and at last he has got one of the manufacturers to turn fhim out sufficient tile of this kind to build a silo at the farm. It will be in circular form, sixteen feet in diameter, thirty-six feet in heighth and will have a capacity of 150 tons, Mr. McGuire is confident it will prove a success and states it will revolutionize feed troubles, as the cost, of putting one up will be only a fraction of the cost of the old style.

STATE CONTROL OF SWAMP LANDS Bill Introduced Giving Minnesota Drainage Rights Over Federal Possessions in This State. Senator Nelson, chairman of the committee on public lands, has re- ported an important drainage Dill which places all federal swamp land in the state under Minnesota juris- diction. The bill amends the Volstead act of 1908‘“hich limited the federal drainage to Red Lake lands. The new act provides “that all lands in the state of Minnesota belonging to the highest point on Blueberry hills. The Hill is three miles northeast of Deer River and rises to an altitude of probably 300 feet above the village,’ From its peak every street in the village can be plainly discerned, and from the tower Ranger Thornton sa:g he will be able with a spy glass to almost exactly locate any forest fire riginating within twenty miles of his lookout station. It is also con- templated scon to erect a tower sev- eral miles northwest of here in the Deer River district.—Deer River News. Some Logs Hung Up. B. P. Munson, of Minneapolis, was in town last week looking after his logging interests in this county. Mr. Munson is in faver of more rain in the Prairie river valley as he has about $200,000 worth of logs hung up in Wolf lake awaiting the arrival of sufficient water to float them into the Mississippi. Some of this crop of logs has been in two seasons and if they cannot be driven before freez- ing-up time the coming winter the natural loss will aggregate no small item. But Munson is one of those optomistic operators who are never looking for a losing chance. A win- ning is good enough for him, and.he generally finds some way to beat bad fuck. Special Session of District Court. Judge C. W. Stanton of the district bench arrived in Grand Rapids Tues- day morning from International Falls, where he had held a regular term for Kocchiching county. During Tuesday and Wednesday forenoon court was in session, Judge Stanton hearing several tax cases from Koochiching county. A writ of habeus corpus was issued for the release of Jack Young, who was held in jail on a charge of stealing a watch at Bigfork. The facts in this oase appeared to be favorable to the prisoner, and Coun- ty Attorney McOuat offered no objec- tion to his release. It was offered in behalf of Young, who is a recent arrival from Iowa, that the watch in question had been surreptitiously placed in his pocket for the pur- pose of getting him into trouble. Judge Stanton returned to Bemidji Wednesday afternoon. “PAL” BROWN WAS T00 MUCH FOR CHICAGO BOY Knocked Him Out in the Eigh- teenth of a Scheduled Twenty Round Bout. “Pal” Brown, the Hibbing home- sieader is certainly a comer and those who witnessed his defeat of Gary, the Chicago lightweight, Tues- day evening are unanimous in their praise of his cleverness. He has a peculiar fighting style all his own and in the bout with Gary he covered himself up very nicely all through the mill. He was partici® larly clever at imfighting, landing heavy on Gary’s kidneys at nearly every clinch and swinging vicious uppercuts to the jaw. The bout was scheduled to go twenty rounds, but Brown caught the Chicago boy a solar plexus at the close of the eight- eenth and he took the count for ten.

The harvest hand murdered at Le | Sueur several days ago was Charles Allen it has been learned since. He was born in Vermont and had two wealthy married sisters living at or near Chicago, one of whom is the wife of an architect. Hall Green, colored, seventeen years old, of Le Sueur, now says that the man who is in custody there is the murderer and that by his orders Green helped him drag the body to the rail- road track. Aged Woman Auto Victim. Mrs. Ole Jenson, sixty years old, was killed in an automobile accident near Zumbrota. Mrs. Jenson fell from the machine while returning from Zumbrota to her home in Roscoe. HARD WORK T0 KEEP A QUORUM Many Members of Congress Eager to Go Home, WERE HELD BY THE LEADERS. Both Underwood and Mann Insisted That National Legislators Should Stay on the Job—Uncertainty of Poli- tics Shown In Varying Attitudes To- | ward William J. Bryan. By ARTHUR W. DUNN. | Washington, Aug. 10.—[Special.]— That congress has been anxious to get ; away as soon as possible has been shown in the difficulty found in keep- ing a quorum in either house. The fact is that most members felt that | everything that could be accomplished had been done when the Canadian reciprocity bill was passed. In the , efforts to keep a quorum it was no- | ticed that Majority Leader Under- | wood and Minority Leader Mann both , felt impelled to criticise members who were seeking leaves of absence. “The most important public business 1 know of for a member of congress is to be here for the next week or ten days,” declared Mann. “T agree entirely with the gentleman , from Illinois,” said Underwood. “The , Most important thing for a member of congress to do is to stay here and wind up the business of the session.” | Then and Now. On April 4, when congress convened, W. J. Bryan was there and divided honors with Champ Clark. It was | Champ’s day, and he was entitled to jall the glory of the occasion, but Bry- , an was there and received an ovation. | How many people remembered that Bryan had been so honored when they | saw the great tribute paid to Chair- man Underwood the day he denounced men that paid such a compliment to a leader a few months ago could ap- | plaud a scathing denunciation of that | Same man. Politics certainly is the | most uncertain thing known to man- | kind. | Enforcing Blue Laws. Enforcement of the blue :aws by the Maryland authorities against residents , of Washington who overflow into that state shows what a change has oc- ‘curred within a very few years. ‘The | | time is not so far distant when the! ‘ people of Washington visited Maryland ; | resorts which were wide open on Sun ' day, and there were all sorts of pas: | times and liquors for any one who! | could pay for them. Now liquor cannot be obtained on ; Week days, for prohibition bas shut up every place, and, what is more, the blue laws preventing work of any kind ‘on Sunday are being enforced. It is probable that not only will chauffeurs be stopped from working, but it is pos- sible that the street car men will also be given a Gay of rast.

Made Them Squirm. It made the southern men squirm when Senator Lodge offered an amend- ment to the free list bill putting rice on the free list. In all the tariff bills that have been considered the south- erners have always been chided by the Republicans with standing by a duty on rice. At first Vice President Sherman de- clared the amendment adopted, and there was real consternation among the Democrats. The Louisiana and Arkansas men and several others were at once protesting against the adop- tion of the amendment in tones that could not be mistaken Rice was saved on a record vote, the protection- ists of the north voting with the south- ern men, eget ge wa j Free Canadian Hay. | According to the reports of the fail- ure of the hay crop. it is apparent that free hay from Canada cannot come to quickly. Those who have been gather- ing statistics say that even with free hay from Canada the price will be higher than ever. | Most Populous District. That a reapportionment under the last census was needed to equalize rep- resentation is too plain to need argu- ment. Take, for instance. the Bronx district, in New York, where Steven B. Ayres represents 482,568 people [t shows the great growth of that part of New York city in the last ten years, for the size of the district was not the result of a gerrymander. It has been asserted that it makes no difference how many people there are in a city district, that a congressman can represen’ 1,000,000 as well as 100.- 000, but Congressman Ayres does not find this the case. All the district needs attention, and he finds his time weil occupied in caring for their many wants. The people of the Eighteenth New York district can write letters just as well as those living in sparsely settled regions of the country. Previous Publication. Congressman Taylor of Ohio was about to begin a speech on District of Columbia affairs. “The gentleman’s speech,” said Congressman Johnson of Kentucky, “has already been pubtish- ed in the afternoon papers.” “That shows how eager the news- papers are to get a good speech,” re- sponded Taylor. WEALTHY LUMBERMAN DEAD ‘John A. Humbird of St. Paul Expires at Spokane. John A, Humbird, millionaire lum- berman of Minnesota, is'dead at the home of his son at Spokane, Wash. The end came only after a brave fight for life in the last forty-eight hours of which he had been unconscious. John A. Humbird, whose wealth is \estimated at several million dollars, | was perhaps less generally known than most of St. Paul’s wealthy citi- |zens. His’erect, solid figure was often ‘seen on the streets, but few persons | knew him as a “lumber king” or “rail- road builder,” and his coming and go- jing attracted little attention. He was ‘born in Pennsylvania July 18, 1836. | SOME EX dese CEPTIONALLY GOOD BARGAIN Coats, Suits, Petticoats, Skirts, House Dresses, in fact every- thing in Ladies’ Ready-to-wear Apparel marked to sell at a Big Saving to You.
