We consider 50 cents per day is not sufficient to feed pris- oners and therefore recommend that the county commissioners set the price at 60 cents per day for pris- oner’s board, and wish to recommend the repairing of the county barn. “We also wish to recommend to the county commissioners that they send the state public examiner to Bearville township to examine the condition of the books and affairs off that town. “We recommend for the consider- ation of the county commissioners !that a more detailed account be kept of the distribution of. the county poor fund.” County Attorney McOuat certainly had his cases in good shape for consideration by the grand jury, and there less expense on account ct witmesses than eyer before.

WILGOY of Body Held at Coleraine, Monday Afternoon. BEEN MISSING SINCE SEPT. 20 Worked at the Hill Mine Shaft at Marble Up to That Time—Wife Said He Had No Known Enemies. | Mrs. R. J. Wilcox of Calumet Mon- day positively identified the dead body of the man found in a swamp in the Crooked Lake country one week ago Saturday by a homesteader named Bright ,and once identified by a dozen people as that of James Mc- ‘Arthur, as her husband, who has jbeen missing since about the 20th of September and was last heard of alive heading for Nashwauk and Kee- | watin. Mrs. Wilcox believes her hus- |band was murdered. The woman viewed the remains at the undertaking parlors of Peterson | & Goodwin Monday afternoon. The identification was further confirmed by several people from Calumet who Knew ,Wilcox. Mrs. Wilcox ‘then came to Grand Rapids to confer with County Attorney McOuat. Wilcox was an Englishman, about 29 years old and has been employed as a shaftman at the Hill mine at} Marble up to a few weeks ago. For two years, up to last August the fam- ily lived at Aurora, where Wilcox worked about the mines, coming.thera from Bessemer, Michigan. In Aug- ust the family moved to Calumet. On his last payday at the Marble, mime Wilcox drew a check for wages ; amounting to $42, the greater part of which he turned over to his wife. The woman states that before com- ing to Calumet Wilcox had never been addicted to drinking, but that follow-j ing his last payday at the mine he went on a spree. Domestic troubles followed and Wilcox stated he was going away. His wife paid no atten- tion to the statement, as he had been drinking, but after he had been absent several days she became alarmed and asked the Oliver police to assist her in locating her hus- band. It was then learned that he had been seen heading for Nash- wauk and Keewatin. Sunday Mrs. Wilcox was shown a! news item stating that the identifi- cation of the dead man at Coleraine had been set at naught by the ap- pearance of James McArthur in Hib- bing and was asked to go to Cole- raine and see the remains, which she did, with the result stated. | The county authorities, who also| firmly hold to the murder theory, | are working on a number of clues| and it was stated today that within a short time there may be develop- ments which will throw further light on the manner in which Wilcox met} death.

AN INSTITUTION T0 BE PROUD OF Wife Makes Positive Identification | Itasca Co-operative Creamery Is, Doing Good Work in Advertising Itasca County. PRODUCTS ALL OVER THE RANGE List of 23 Patrons Who Received Over $5 for First Half of Oc- tober—Pointers From Buttermaker. ‘ The Itasca Co-operative creamery aoow has*42 patrons and mitk from | 250 cows is being hauled to the creamery. Buttermaker E. G. Mok- ler states, however, that by spring this number will undoubtedly be in- creased to over 500, At the present time 3 churnings | are made each week and the product | is about 700 pounds. In addition to this, 70 quarts of milk and 20 quarts of cream are sold daily in the vil- lage, while 16 gallons of milk are shipped to Virginia. Nearly every town on the range handles Grand Rapids creamery butter and Mr. Mok- ler states that they will be handl- ing the entire product for some time to come. The milk retails at 6 cents and the cream at 30 cents per quart, while the butter is sold at the high- est market price. One of the ad- vantages in buying creamery milk is the fact that it is pasteurized. The creamery is equipped with a pasteur- izer and other modern machinery and all bottled milk is made saitary being placed in this machine, where | it is cooked until] all the germs are killed. This means there is no pos- sibility of catching any of the dis- eases obtained in this manner. 1 churn is an immense affair, known as the dual churn, and 900 pounds butter can be made at one time. Farmers from outside are com- mencing to ship here, but shipments are yet light from Cohasset, and the Splithand and Jessie lake dis- tricts. Payment is made semi-monthly and following is a list of those who re- ceived checks amounting to over $5 on October 15: igi oi | 1s NO a --$ 8.34 A. M. Sipler.. .. .. .. .. .. 18.42 E. M.

(neg OOS The cream from the state farm is sold to Hibbing concerns and @ premium above the market price is received on account of its known excellence. All above the market price is turned into the creamery treasury. | Following are the prices paid: ! Thirty-five cents per pound butter fat; 30 cents, special grade cream; Bcc cents, Ist grade cream; 26 cents 2nd grade cream. |is a circular by Buttermaker Mokler (giving directions for handling the |cream and milk and explaining how it is graded: There are many essential points jin the management of a creamery | which lead to its success or ruin, |but we believe the most important one is the making of a special grade of butter. We mean by a special grade, not a first or good grade that only commands a fair price, but a grade that is always in de- jmmand and will also command the | highest possible price on either our ‘local markets or the Eastern mar- kets. The first factor to be considered the making of butter is cieanli- ness on the part of the producer of the cream. The next is ripening, churning, washing, etc., which de- | pend on the experience and judgment of the operator in charge of the jin ors we will not go into details, but ‘will say that we must have good cream to make good butter. As pre- viously stated our creamery is equip- ped with the Jatest improved ma- for the manufacture of good butter. But bear in mind that ;this same machinery will not turn jinferior cream into good butter. When the creamery commenc- ed operation we took up the sys- {tem of buying on quality basis, a | work that all creameries are slowly chinery are a few creameries in Minnesota which were the first to buy on quali- ty basis, and are now reaping the | benefits of same. It was a custom among creamer- ies to buy only on one price re- gardless of quality. It is plain to see that the patron who delivered a clean sweet cream, grew careless |when he received ne more per [pound fat in price than his neigh- |bor who only sent his cream once a week or in sour condition. When the producers of the cream grow careless the quality of our creamery eries are therefore starting to buy according to quality in order to bring the quality of our creamery butter to its former standard. We have had good results from grading, and are positive all our pa- trons see the benefit of same. The points of grading are: 1. A better grade of cream which | means better butter. 2. The better grade of butter, the higher a price it sells for. 3. And the more it sells for on the market, the more we can return per pcund to our patrons. 4. Grading and paying for quali- ty means that you get paid for what you sell. | 5. The patron who brings good cream gets the benefit in the differ- (ence in price. | It may be possible that some of our patrons do not fully understand the basis we grade on so will brief- ly explain same.

R. J. Rahier, a nephew of George | Rahier, the Bigfork homesteader whe was murdered last July, was in the village yesterday appearing as s witness before the grand jury and states that he is confident that Ed- win Erwa who is suspected of hay- ‘ing killed his uncle is still lurking lin the woods in the Bigfork country, subsisting by hunting.

Rumors. of a man roaming the woods in the Bigfork country have come in from jtime to time and Rahier founds his belief on the fact that the man un ,der suspicion had a considerable | cache of provisions at his cabin, about half of which has recently beem removed. | The murdered man ja dispute over trapping ,George Rahier left his home Bigfork on the morning of July carrying a rifle and packsack. days later his dead body was found and Erwa had grounds. near 18, Two in the woods with bullet holes in the back. His rifle and packsack lay some distance away. Settlers in the Bigfork country, according to Mr Rahier, are confident the murderer is still at large in the woods in that section and believe that he will be compelled to give himself up soon ow ing to the freezing weather.

First grade must be sweet and clean in flavor, must be in fit con- dition for the sale to the ice cream factory. Second Grade. This grade is cream that is sight slightly sour but lean in flavor. Third grade. This grade will be rejected. Those who deliver first and see ond grade will be given until 2:30 p. m., for delivering. There will be a difference in price between first and second grade which will warrant bet- ter care and more frequent delivery, From this date we will strictly en- force those rules.
