AMOUNT RECEIVED WAS $5,950 There Are 3,140 Pupils in the County That Are Entitled to Regular State Aid—Three Dollars for Each One. Minnesota's schools are the rich- jest in the union and Auditor Spang received concrete evidence of this fact Monday morning on opening his mail when he found cashier’s checks aggregating $5,950, special state aid for the normal, high and sraded schools of Itasca county. The following amounts were received by ‘the different schools entitled to spe- | cial state aid: Grand Rapids normal.. .. ..$ 750.00 ,Grand Rapids high.. . -1.750.00 Coleraine high.. «++ 1,750.00 Deer River graded.. --1,100.00 'Nashwauk graded... .. .. 600.00 $5,950.00 Mr. Spang also received notice that there is a total of 3,140 pupils in Itasca county entitled to regular state aid, according to the report as certified to by the county super- intendent of schools, 2,044 pupils of {which are in graded schools while 11,096 are in semi-graded and rural schools. The bas‘s of apportionment is $23 for each pupil, which means that Itasca county schools will ref ceive $9,420 in a short time. ‘That Itasca county is constantly ‘increasing in population is evidenced by comparing the records of the number of pupils certified to in Octo- ber each year by the county super- intendent of schools.

SMALL AMOUNT SOLD AT STATE LAND SALE Only 360 acres of state land were sold at the October sale held at the ‘court house Monday. Six tracts of | 40 acres each were sold at $5 per | acre, while 3 were sold in section 1) 27 at $6 per acre. Deputy Auditor | John E. McMahon was the purchaser of the last three named tracts | which proves that he is looking into | |the future when land values will | jraise. Manager Nelson, of the land} |sales department, informs the Her-| ald-Review that there will undoubt- jedly be a large amount sold at the | November sale. | \ ‘HIBBING HIGH WILL BE HERE FRIDAY Friday, October 20, will be.an im- portant day in the history of high school athletics as far as Grand Rapids is concerned for the present year. On that date the Hibbing high will play the Grand Rapids eleven at Southside park and if we are de- feated—goodbye to championship hopes. But, on the other hand, if we win, that will put us in the run- ning for the championship of the range. The boys are working hard ev- ery evening, for they certainly need that game. It is stated the Hibbing second team will play the second team here Saturday afternoon. The second team is nearly as strong as the first and our bet is that Hibbing loses if |the contest takes place. FARMERS AFTER GOOD HIGHWAYS Delegates Here From Two Com- | mercial Clubs, Four Villages and Thirteen Townships. TRUNK LINE ROADS ARE ENDORSED Contracts Let for Plastering and Painting Court House and Ap- propriations Made for Many Roads. The October meeting of the board of county commissioners, held at the court house Saturday was one of the greatest in point of interest to every settler of any ever held in the county. It might properly be called a good roads meeting, for good roads was one of the main themes discussed at the meeting and delegates were present from the Grand Rapids and Coleraine commer- cial clubs, the villages of Bovey, Deer River, Bigfork and Warba and the towns of Oteneagen, Wirt, Lake Jessie, Marcell, Sand Lake, Ball Club, Feeley, Swan River, Wawina, Spang, Ardenhurst, Alvwood and Moose Park to urge upon the board the necessity of roads in different parts of the county. The fact that the settlers are making determined effort to secure good roads is an important movement—not only to the settler through whose land the road passes but also to the county at large. Good roads mean more settlers; settlers mean more homes; more homes mean more schools; more | Stools mean more intelligent and | therefore better farmers; which | brings us back to the point of be- | ginning and proves the fact that ev- | ery forward movement is for the | benefit of all, because all this will | raise land values, give the merchant a larger number of patrons and last- | in | As is well known, the commission ers only have a limited sum at their | disposal to grant these requests for | con- roads and sometimes they are fronted with the frigid fact that, | while it is imperative to build al certain road and while it may also | be gospel truth that such a road | would benefit a large number of set- | tlers, they must turn down the p' tition. In the past, through the nu erous cries for roads; they have been | compelled to grant an appropriation | of $390 here and $250 there to fix | up a much needed stretch, even | when it may be known that it will | not be permanent. It is repaired be- | cause the commissionrs realize on the settlers must have a way of in- gress and egress to their farms. No county in the state has a more en- | terprising board of commiss‘on«rs, nCr | one that is more heartily in favor of | good roads, yet, through this piece system, they have been unable to make any large appropriations for roads. All this will now be changed, | however, under the provision of the | Elwell law, which is identjcally along the same lines as the county ditch law and provides that one-half of the cost of all state rural highways, familiarly termed trunk roads, shall be borne by the state, one-quarter by the county, while the balance shall be borne by the settlers whose lands are benefitted. The law further pro- vides 10 years in which to pay the assessment which is taxed against the lands. In a few years we shall sée all roads on section lines, with a man caring for each 5 or 6 miles, the same as adopted by St. Louis county. The first matter taken up at the meeting was the matter of an appro priation to the agricultural asscciation. | Owing to the bad weather, the fair receipts were not large enough to pay off the outstanding indebtedness | on the improvements made this fall and there is still a deficit of $332.24. ‘The board made an appropriation to | cover this amount. j The county surveyor was instruct- ed to survey a road around Cow- horn lake, south from Judd Romans’ —— (Continued on page eight.) feeoye grounds and F. F. Price INTERESTING TIME IN PROBATE COURT Representatives Worked Up to High Pitch Until Balloon Was Punctured. There was an interesting scene in probate court before Judge Webster Tuesday morning in which Attorney F. F. Price and Attlia Castigliano, of Hibbing, northern Minnesota repre- sentative for the Italian consul at Chicago, were the principals. They indulged in a verbal battle that echo- ed through all the corridors of the court house and aroused the curiosity of every deputy. It seems that John Diastro, an Italian, was found dead in his shack at Nashwauk about June 15, 1910. James Collyard, who conducts a grocery store at Hibbing, appeared before the probate court and repre- sented he was a cousin of the de- ceased; that he was the nearest relative and that there was also mon- ey due him from the estate. He asked that he be appointed adminis- trator. His request was granted. No report was made at that time to the Italian consul concerning his de- mise. A short time ago the consul heard of the matter and it now de- velops- that Diastro has a mother and brother living in the old country. The emigration treaty between th’'s country and Italy provides that when an Italian subject dies in this coun- try the Italian consul shall be notifie and where there are no immediate relatives in the United States the consul shall have the privilege of administering the estate. Castigliano appeared here for the consul and asked that the court set aside the order granting the right of administration to Collyard on the ap- peared for Collyard. He offered to turn over the estate to the consul | providing he was reimbursed for the funeral expenses and other debts! which he had paid, but the Italian | representative refused the offer. The | discussion then waxed fast and furi- | ous until it was discovered that Di- astro had been a citizen of the and therefore his estate was not amenable to the treaty laws. This fact sort of clarified the atmosphere. Judge Webster decided to hold the case open until October 30. Order your job work now. Dr \ | i ene get ALL the news. TART CAMPAIGN FOR GRAND RAPIDS Commercial Club Will Endeavor to Obtain Better Highways to Village. GOOD RESULTS ALREADY OBTAINED Club Decided to Push Road South From John Costello Farm and Commissioners Ordered Hearing On It. As usual, the meeting of the com- mercial club Friday evening was not largely attended, but results have already been obtained from the ac- tion taken. At the meeting, as an example of what can be done, the fact was cited that the Cohasset commercial club has secured a bridge across the Mississippi, opening up a rich terri- tory; secured good roads leading to every part of the township, and in fact done everything possible to ad- vance the interests of their village. While Grand Rapids admires the spirit that predominates Cohasset, still, the business men here feel that if Grand Rapids does not get busy, Cohasset will be attempting to ab- sorb it. A committee was appointed to look after the matter of obtaining good roads from the northwest corn- er of the township, a bridge across the Mississippi, and a road leading south from a point opposite the John Costello farm. At the meeting the county commissioners the follow- ing day the first named road was ordered surveyed, while a hearing was ordeed on the south road, a peti- \tion having been presented. A com- mittee wi also appointed to appear {before the board in relation to ‘the trunk line. | The following committee was ap- pointed to solicit membership and funds: Henry Hughes. Fred A. } Thos.
