The attendance was held down by a@ steady downpour of rain, which lasted the first few innings» but which did not dampen the enthus- iasm of the fans when it came to making a noise for the winners. Lofberg pitched gilt-edge ball ‘throughout the entire 10 innings, al- | lowing but four hits and causing | eight men to fan the ozone, also | refusing to give free transportation to the initial sack. Brown for the visitors also pitched well, except in the opening inning when the elongat- ed twirler was found for three hits and two runs. Several classy fielding stunts were pulled off by the home boys. Na- | ;son pushed his way into the lime- | Hight by collecting three hits and |also made a pretty running zatch Grand Rapids kept their lead of two runs until the fifth inning, two hits and three errors. For a few innings things looked gloomy, then Whalen and Brandon were ter delivered the goods by poking ou a single which prought in the tying run. Neither team scored in the ninth frame,'but in the 10th Brown bounced the spheroid off Brandon's kindergarten assistant. Forest Lake School.

AWAY WITH FAMILY ‘Offender Took Wife, Children and | Cash—Will be Brought Back for Trial Sheriff Riley will go to Calumet, Mich., this week to bring back Pet- |er Popovich of Keewatin, who will | answer to @ larceny charge. Popovich eloped last April with !Semla Maulusitch, wife of Viego Ma-| llusitch, an Austrian living at Kee- | watin, in whose house Popovich had been boarding. Also, it is alleged /in the complaint, the €loping couple {took with them $900, the savings of | the Malusitch family for sever- /al years, and the three Malusitch | children. | The aggrieved husband laid the |matter before County Attorney Mc- | Ouat several weeks ago and the er- |ring couple were traced to Calumet, |Mich., where word was sent to the police to hold them until the Itasca county sheriff could appear to bring | Popovich back for trial. A larceny charge has been preferred against jhim and he will be cited before the court on this charge. ‘MRS, BOOTH GIVES BRIDGE AFTERNOON Mrs. Booth entertained a party of \ladies at bridge Friday afternoon.

NORTHERN MINNESOTA PEOPLE OF VISION, DECLARES EDITOR WELLES Farming Activities Surprise Visitor From Southern Part—Must Visit This Section to Get Faintest Idea of Natural Advantages and Marvelous Resources—Praise Hospitality Extended Editors at State Farm. f Sauk Center Herald: 3 “One half of mankind doesn’t know ‘how the other half lives,” runs the old adage. Modernizing it to meet twentieth century emer- gencies and conditions, it should read: “One half of Minnesota does n't know anything about the other half,” The half that doesn’t know is southern Minnesota; the other half is northern Minnesota, A week ago I belonged to the “one half; now I know 4 little more, put only a little for the northern part of this great state cannot be traversed evenly rapidly im a few days. But two days spent in Itasca county on the Mississippi, at Lake Pokegama and on the western end of the Mesaba range, gave me a little insight in- to the wonderful possibilities of the region. * * * . * Grand Rapids stands in the front rank as a live northern Minne- sota town. It has large and fine public buildings, seven blocks of concrete pavements on the main street which is lined on either side by electric lights in clusters of large globes and thus forming @ “White Way” comparing favorabjy with thcse of St. Paul and Min- neapolis. During our visit seven arches spaned the streets, each arch covered with evergreens and surmounted with small flags, all erected in honor of the editors. The visiting scribes started to fig- ure out if the evergreens were used to indicate that northern Minr nesota newspaper men are verdant. or because they are ever fresh. They are still figuring. The reader can interpret the word ‘“‘fresh’ to his own satisfaction. . As hosts the Itasca county seat fellows are in a class by themselves They were captained by “Tony” LaFreniere and E. C. Kiley, publish- ers of the Itasca County Independent and the Grand Rapids Herald- Review respectively. What that worthy and hustling pair, both of whom exude good nature and good fellowship from every pore, cannot think of in the way of entertainment is practicaliy a negligi- ble quantity. They publish two excellent newspapers, issued from fine plants, housed in good buildings, and best of all, they both get gocd prices for their products and are rapidly accumulating quite a satisfactory amount of the gold that perisheth, but which elps to smooth their journey through thig vale of tears. Several things strike the visjtor to northern Minnesota and strike him so hard he is not likely to soon forget them. First and fore most is the rapidity with whichthe northern part of the state, the “cut-over” pine lands, is settling A general idea is prevalent among those who do not know, that this land is practically worthless. This trip convinced me of my error. Northarn Minnesota has just as good land as lies out of dors. Thursday afterncon, between Park Rapids and Walker, I counted not less than twenty-five farms just opening up this season. The pioneer farmer is on hand, with his family housed in a humble structure, his yoke of oxen or his horses, break- ing up the soil, pulling out the stumps and subduing the land. He’s bound to reap a rich reward in a few years. The same conditions prevail in the vicinity of Grand Rapids and elsewhere. Of course in the mining towns, mining is mow the main reliance, but neverthe- uey} JeUyU ey} 0} uol}T9}4e SSot formerly and more to the ever in- creasing number of sturdy tillers of the soil. The Jand is all right; all it needs is men to subdue aand cultivate it- Clover grows rank up that way; small grains flourish; corn thrives; while potatoes yield pushels per acre that Bob Dunn’ Princeton tubers cannot beat. Two miles east of Grand Rapids is the experimental farm of the state, a section in size, with one fourth of it under cultivation. A. J. McGuire, 2 long-limbed, study Scot, is the superintendent and in the ten years the farm has been on the map. he has produced excellent results- The editors were guests there Saturday noon for dinner. Tables were spread under large pine trees near the roomy farm house. The menu included yellow legged chicken that would make the mouth of the average Methcdist preacher water; strawbier- ries with a flavor like the nector of the gods; coffee, finer than which was never brewed; With lots of other good things which, in the language of the auction bill, were “too numerovs to mention.” The scribes ate and ate till they could eat no longer, amd then re- turned, to Grard Rapids to let it digest, put before Jeaving they all shook hands with McGuire and his estimable better half, and wished them long life and happiness, with a whispered wish on the side chicken, that they (the editors) might be invited again and eat strawberries and things. Another thing that impressed the visitor is the excellent roads. Itasca county certainly has beat southern Minnescta to it. The five mile stretch between Grand Rapids and Cohasset is like a city boulevard; it’s said to be the best public highway in the state, and I believe it. A fine stretch of road nine miles long over which it ‘ig a@ pleasure to ride connects Grand Rapids with Coleraine. There ig an excellent public highway from (Coleraine to Duluth. The towns and counties have plenty of money, coming from the heavy taxes paid by the mining companies, who in turn co-operate in every project for public petterment. The mines are the great sight for the visitors. A description of these and of the prosperous, down-to-the-minute mining towns, I de- fer for ‘a future article. It is a revelation to the person who has never seen such things before, to view what northern Minneso- ta has to offer. The sights are marvelous; the conditions unique; the people as good as any On earth, The northern Minnesotan sees large. He talks in millions; he needs a section to turn around in. He is proud of his town, of his county, of northern Minnesota, busi- ness, cf himself. He is not a quiet, retiring individual; he is as- sertive, self-reliant, irrepresctbie put with one of the biggest hearts and best fellows on earth; to appreciate him you must know him; to get even the faintest idea of northern Minnesota, its natural ad- vantages amd marvelous resources, you must visit it.

Matti Suutari, Finnlander, was arrested July 6, on a charge of Coleraine. George Barlow was arrested at Smith Lake by the warden July 11 on a similar charge and received a sentence of 30 days from Judge Kar- |mey at Grand Rapids. Emil Seaberg Lake, charged with the illegal pos- | session of an engine, and was fined $10 and costs in Judge McCusick’s courf at Marble.

Konotan Raman, another violator of the law governing the catching of undersized pike, was also arrested by the Warden July 14 and given a similar sentence to Aattenen. The arrests being made by the game warden during the spring and sum- mer are having the effect of making the law respected, and protecting the young fish from wanton destruction by those indifferent to the provisions of the fish and game laws.
