Secretary Sisler was delighted with the abundance of splendid material that was supplied by the farmers and gardeners of the county. He has attended a number of state fairs and no county display that has ever been shown in the past, so he said, could excell that of Itasca county for this year. Following is a list of the contribu- tions and the specimens furnished by them: P. P.

WILL BE USED THIS COMING FALL Plans Have Not Yet Been Received But When They Arrive the Construction Will Be Rushed. As usual, Grand Rapids is in the van guard of villages that are look- announcement coming from Henry Hughes that Henry Hughes & Co. will shortly begin the erection of a potato warehouse. Numerous villages in northern Min- nesota are talking of building but that is as far —just talk, but Grand Rapids is actu- ally going to build, no ifs nor ands about it. Hughes stated to inquiries by true that we will build a potato ware- shel. ‘We are now having the actual work of construction will be commenced—and when we start, it will be hurried as fast! as possible. We plan to build a storage that will hold 10,000 bushels and of course will pay the highest market price.” The reporter then imterviewed Supt. A. J. McGuire, of the Northeast Ex- periment farm, on the subject. Said Mr. McGuire: “I am very glad that Mr. Hughes is taking this step. He has always proven himself a friend to the farmers and I am also glad for the reason it saves us the trouble of securing funds to erect one. When the alcoho] plant experi- ment station is erected here, it may be necessary to do so. I am confi- dent that Mr. Hughes will pay the farmers the highest market price and he has my hearty co-operation. I shall do all I can. to assist the farm- ers market their potatoes and advise them to deal with Mr. Hughes.” ANOTHER SUSPECT HOLMAN MURDER Kuzman Sorich, Suspected of Com- plicity in Holman Affair, Brought Back. Sheriff Riley and County Attorney MecOuat returned from a trip to Ni- agara, Wis., Monday evening, bring- ing with them Kuzman Sorich, alias Mike Miller, who was wanted in con- nection with the murder of a miner at the Holman pit. The murdered man and his brother cashed their pay checks in Taconite on the evening of June 19 and start- ed for Holman, Sorich and Steve ! Milkovich, who was captured at Du- luth, and Eli Yerkovich, who is still at large, followed them. They were told to stand and deliver and the brother of the murdered man started to run. The latter, however, showed fight and according to the story told by the two men in jail, Yerkovich shot at him with a 44 calibre revoly- er, the bullet piercing his breast, kill- ing him instantly. Sorich, who formerly worked at a paper mill at Niagara, did not ap- pear at that place until last Friday, when the officers, who were on the look-out, nabbed him and telegraphed the authorities here.

WILL CONTINUE ©THE DRILLING Fund of $500, Secured By Fred A. King and Will Nisbett, Through Private Subscription Used For This Purpose. There’s no use trying to get around it, Grand Rapids is bound to become one of the most important cities in the northwest. Iron ore has now been discovered in the creamery well and the drillers have already gone through fifteen feet of what promises to be a very rich deposit, judging by the samples that have been taken. A short time ago, the business men feeling confident there was a large deposit of ore underlying the village, a fund of $500 was raised, through private subscription, by Fred A. King and Will Nisbett, to continue drilling in the creamery well, the directors of the association giving it their sanc- tion. The drilling wil] be continued and the business men of Grand Rapids pro- pose to ascertain how important Grand Rapids’ ore indications really are. The explorations at the village well have been completed and very satisfactory results were obtained. TRANSPORTATION OF PUPILS OCTOBER 1 It has been decided by the board of school district No. 1 to begin the transportation of pupils by contract on the Ist of October.
