But we back up and kick over the traces when the offi- cers deliberately send to Ohio for posters, dates, cards and other ad- vertising matter with which to ad- vertise the fair throughout the coun- ty. The Itasca fair is being adver- tised today with a lot of cheap junk ordered from a concern at Norwalk, Ohio, whereven that iis. The Her- ald-Review never heard of the place before. It bears the imprint of the printing shop that turned out the work, thus advertising an outside publishing concern. Think of it!

Congressman C. B. Miller is billed for a lecture on “Reciprocity” at Coleraine on September 22. Mr. Mil- ler has been rather quiet since it was) announced some time ago that he would not again be congressional can- didate. He ‘was quoted by the press as having so stated. Does his ad- vent on the lecture platform portend reentry to the political game? Per- haps. Miller is a bright young man and attractively handsome. ——E—— “Sugar has reached the highest point in twelve years,” reads the press headlines in bold, black letters.

See Ne A twenty-two page booklet, finely illustrated and well prepared, was is- sued under the direction of the Itasca County Agricultural associa- tion for free distribution at the state fair. The work was issued} from the press of the Independent and is a very creditable production in every way. eas Somes ge Wm. B.

The editor hereof has long since learned that it is not for one man and one newspaper to inauce urate the millennium. a Railroads have the sympathy of the St. Paul Dispatch—that is, if the Dis- patch is not guilty of sarcasim in the following editorial squib: “The a is, of course, one consolation in con- nection with the rainy weather dur- ing state fair week. The fair man- agers and the concessionaries may be out of pocket, but the railway com- panies are not losing so much money as they would had they been called upon to haul more people from the country at the confiscatory 2-cent-a- mile rate.” Hab Rees a Es The payment of one’s honest debts is a good way to keep tab on “where the money goes.” Anyone interested in public funds of the county might refer to the finamcial statement as published yearly. lected and every dollar expended is accounted for in detail. The name of every man, woman and child who is paid money out of the Itasca coun- ty ‘treasury, the amount and for what purpose, is published once a year. There is no excuse for ignorance— except ignorance—on this subject. ———-.—_—_ The Walker Pilot finds that the state sanitorium located at Walker is laboring under insufficient funds to keep good life in its body. This in- stitution was established by act of the state legislature to care for tubercular patients of the state, and ample funds should be appropriated for its proper maintainence. The Pi- lot is certainly justified in protesting that the physicians in charge should not be expected to look after a hun- dred patients, and at the same time look after the dairy herd, superin- tend all farming, direct the clearing of land and do chores about the premises. fet With Friday’s regular edition of the Duluth News-Tribune was issued a special industrial number, “dedicat~ ed to the constructive new-time in the affairs of a great commercial and industrial city and an assemblage of notable concerns” as stated on the cover page. The publication is illustrated profusely and deals very ably with the material affairs of the Zenith city and the great territory that surrounds it. It is made up in magazine form and contains 68 pag- Every dollar col- es, including the cover. The facts and figures given seem to have been conservatively compiled, and withal makes a most valuable up-to-date re- cord of the great city at the head of the lakes and its environments. oo HENRY HUGHES FOR CONGRESS. Says the Deer River News—and it is not a bad suggestion: “A Grand Rapids man is going to take the job off of Duluth’s ‘hands to take care of all the potatoes produc- ed in this part of the state, says a Rapids paper. There’s our choice. for congressman.” ere THE WHY NOT APPARENT. Grand Rapids is to have a third newspaper, but the why is not stat- ed, nor is it apparent. The Herald- Review and the Independent are permanent fixtures and are good enough for any town, as they fill every nitch, and they’ll be there when the readjustment comes.—Mesa-, ba Ore, Hibbing. petiastil Se Re A HALF-CENTURY AGO. In its items of “Fifty Years Ago” the Milwaukee Sentinel of lat Suncay has this: ‘Nichols, Britt & Co. had on ‘change a sheaf of ‘white spring’ wheat raised at Lake City, Minn.” How surprised the Milwaukeeans must have been at this proof that wheat could be grown so far north, says the Duluth News-Tribune. What a fairy tale it would have seemed to them had it been foretold that fifty yars from then Lake City would have the largest nursery in the northwest, with a great orchard where a variety of apples would be raised and marketed in quantity, a fine vinyard and wonderful berry fields' How their eyes would have bulged to hear that 300 miles north of Lake City corn would be grown as a prin- cipal crop, and that it would develop into a great dairy and vegetable re- gion. To them northern Minnesota was as impenetrable a wilderness, as near a north pole climate, as North Hudson Bay seems today.

Should | Minnesota jwin in its fight in the su- | preme court to enforce the 2-cent | rate, every passenger who pays 3 | cents a mile while the cases were | pending cam recover the extra 1 cent.” | This is the opinion of former At-| torney General Young and of former Justicq O’Brien, who are handling | the railway litigation for the state, and of the members of the Minnesota railroad and warehouse commission, it was stated yesterday. In 1905 the state passed a law, which was framed | by Mr. Young, providing that while the commodity rates were in litiga- tion the railroads should make a monthly report of the difference in- volved in the rates in effect while the litigation was pending. These reports have been made and the dif- ference as reported now amounts to approximately $1,000,000, which the railroads will have to return to ship- pers if the state wins. These are the commodity freight rates applying | to coal, grain, lumber, live stock and | by-products. This law does not apply to passen- ger rates, but the’ state’s attorneys | maintain that the principle is the same, and the members of the rail- | of the same opinion. THE RIGHT COUNTRY Opportunities In Itasca County Can- not Be Excelled, Says Illinois Visitor. The man who intelligently observes | conditions and opportunities in a new country is invariably impressed favorably when given a chance to imspect the soil, climate and agricul- tural products of Itasca county. Gen- eral farming, stock raising and dairy- ing are the elements that are sure to make northeastern’ Minnesota one of the richest sections of the coun- try—and it will not require a century of time to bring about results. It is gratifying to meet men from other | agricultural sections who see advan- tages here not to be found elsewhere. Mr. R. H. Pickett of Carmi, Ill., spent some time in Itasca county last month, visiting his daughters, two of whom live on farms. He had an excellent opportunity to see the nat- | ural wealth of the county from the farming view point. Before leaving | for his Illinois home Mr. Picket paid a pleasant visit to the Herald-Review office in company with our townsman, Emil Litchke. He was one of the most enthusiastic boosters for this section we have ever met. He iis evidently a man of keen perception and one who looks over the situation ; from the practical side. He had giv- en thought to the cost of land clear- ing, to the producing qualities of an acre of land, the total absence of crop failures from drouth or other causes, the proximity of an unfailing market, the original cost and the you will not only please the boy with a suit that has real style—but will also please yourself because you will save money on his clothes, Any Hercules suit you buy will out- ‘wear two |suits of any other make re- gardless of price.
