One of the chief items of busi- ness before the Keewatin meeting was the discussion of the lack of | railroad service between the vill- ages of the Canisteo range and Grand’ Rapids. It was pointed out that the travel between the east- | ern part of the county, with its large population and heavy busi- ness interests, is very large, and that under the present schedule maintained by the Great Norht- ern railroad, it is practically im- possible to make the trip of about | @ dozen miles in less than a days time, and that those making it must use the stage almost exclu- sively. ' It was decided that every village interested shall take the matter up with the ‘railroad officials through their commercial organiz- ations, as it wab believed such a course would be more effective that a single petition fathered by a joint meeting of all these bodies. The general program was inter- esting and discussion of the topics enlightening. A delegation of about a dozen attended from Grand Ra- pids. C. C. Peterson led in the discussion of county publicity, and A. J. MeGuire spoke on the work accomplished by the state farm the past year. The decoration day meeting here will, in addition to the regular work, assume a good deal the na- ture of an outing. The delegates will be taken out to Pokegama lake in autos and there will probably be a trip to Cohasset by special train. The activities of the organiza- tion having to do with community welfare it is realized: will not con- flict with the solemn nature of the holiday. COLERAINE PEOPLE SOMEWHAT PEEVED Do Not Like Defeat of Their De- bating Team and Make Their Feelings Plain. The second debating team of the Grand Rapids high school went over to Coleraine Friday night, and defeated the debaters of the Green- way school of that village, the subject being government owner- ship of railways. The members of the local team were Miss Mur- iel Fairbanks, Miss Gladys Dayton, and Warren Poppe.

Chapters of the work deal with dairying, corn, clover, wheat, oats, potatbes, ‘sheep raising, hogs, and other J ock, ‘with records that hav e . on Jand in this Sect fon. He devotes space to combatting ithe oft repeated fallacy that the climate of Northern Minnesota is severe and forbidding, and points out that’ it is preferable to most of the great farming districts of Illinois and Iowa. On this subject | he says: “On account of a northern loca- tion there is a popular delusion among the uninformed that the climate of Northern Minnesota is quite severe. Even those who un- hesitatingly look with favor on the Canadian Northwest and _ other sections much farther north than Northern Minnesota, are still of the opto that the latter climate is very severe. As a matter of fact, thesclimate in this section is very | even and uniform, and hundreds of farmers who formerly lived | in Towa and Illinois, and even farther south, on moving to new homes in Northern Minnesota find that the climate in their new homes is pre- ferable to the climate which they left. The Great Lakes and the heavy timber undoubtedly exert an” ameliorating influence, so that no “extremes in temperature are felt. In winter there is uniformly coMl weather; there are not the | rapid fluctuations in temperature found in many sections, and on ac- count of the many days of sunshine and the clear dry, bracing atmos- phere, the severe weather is not noticed nearly so much as in other sections where the moisture-laden atmospherd on a day when the temperature is at zero becomes al- most unbearable.5 In summer the days are quite warm, but rarely suf focatingly hot, and the nights are invariably cool.

Grand Rapids is to lose one of its most popular pastors and val- ued citizens April 14, when Rev. Leo Burrows will leave to take charge of the Presbyterian congregation at Appleton Wik} He received the call early in February but did not make his de- cision until late last week. The announcement was made_ to his flock at the Presbyterian church Sunday morning and caused keen regret, not only among the people of that parish but of the village generlly. in ‘ Rey. Mr. Burrows. has been con- nected with. the local church for two years and during that time has ‘made a deep impress upon the village, taking a Pro at part every movement for ‘its betterment, materially as well as religiously. He has been connected with the Booster’s club from its inception, and has done most effective work las a member, has served on im- } portant committees, and added much to the success of its meetings as a speaker. In his own particular calling he has been most effective. During his incumbency the church has been practically freed from debt, the congregation has grown stead- ily, and is among the most flour- ishing in Itasca gounty. In activities dealing with the moral welfare of the community his efforts have been felt from the day of his arrival. He has dividual offender, but insistent that’ been moderate, tolerant of the in- the offending cease. And he has displayed in a remarkable degree the capacity to make himself un- derstood by both sides. Notwith- standing the fact that he has tak- en a positive stand on every ques- tion relating to civic or moral up- has grown steadily, and it is not too much to csay that the village has never had a pastor who ac- with whom he has often had to come in adverse contact. His new field offers a wider scope for his abilities, and gives opportunities for larger accomplish ment. Must Stand Trial.
