Official Paper of Itasca County A lot of tk are people who suggesting that Theodore Roosevelt become king of Albania ought to be ashamed of themselves. Al-j| bania never did anything to them. ine Se Preliminary work towards the starting of actual mining operations im the vicinity of Grand Rapids have begun. With the agricultur- al resources Grand Rapids has at] hand, it should make an ideal min- ing city. For the past few years the town has been a thriving me- tropolis although supported almost wholly by the farms in the sur- Pounding country. Think of what a busy place it will be if the min- ing operations extensive.— Mesabe Ore. pee = Se Jim Manahan is having trouble explaining his vote on the Under- wood bill. His constituents want to know why, if he was elected on a tariff reduction platform, he finds it incumbent upon him to oppose having for its object| prove legislation this necessary reform, Jim ex- plains that he favors lower duties for what other sections produce, but cannot see his way clear to submit when the pap is removed from the industries of his balli-| wick. The Southern sugar repre-| sentatives and Western wool grow- | ers feel the same way about it.| it seems hard for these represen-| tatives to understand that they are passing laws for all the people. Senator Warren of Wyoming, be- ing a veteran of the civil war, has applied for a pension, the amount to which he is entitled being $16 per month. He says he desires this, not because of the money, but in order that his record may be handed down complete to posteri- ty. He evidently thinks that no! eld soldier is doing his full duty te his country unless he is draw- ing and that some of the deserved honor attaching to those who fought to preserve the Union may get by him unless his name is among those getting month- ly stipend from Uncle Sam. If he really wanted to do something to| make posterity marvel, he should have let matters rest as they were and become known as the only millionare veteran who never ap- a pension plied for a pension. i aces PREACHER’S HARD LOT The preacher has a hard time, says an exchange.

If he is seen around on the streets, he ought to be home getting up one good sermon. If he ealls on some very poor family, he isn’t showing good judgment, and is playing to the grandstand.

Dr, Hardin} Craig never fails to captivate his audience by these stories. Miss Emilie Eggen, not unknown} to University Wi audiences, wi read for Wednesday. It may be matter of interest to many to} know that next fall Miss Eggen will | join the Sothern and Marlows unatic company, having been se-| lected by those supreme artists| of the stage at the time of their; recent visit to the Twin Cities. | On Thursday there will be one of the genuine treats of the week. Mrs. Eleanor Poehler; a contralto singer of great merit and popular- ity, sted by Miss Marry Allen will give a recital called ‘Story and Song.” In this Mrs. Poehler | sings the world’s great folk songs as only Mrs. Poehler can. Miss | Allen is an artistic and a sympa- thetic accompanist. On Friday Dr. James Davies il- lustrates “The Evolution of Song.” Mrs. Catherine Parker will act as} his accompanist. These people are both real artists and will please. Dr. Davies will sing for the even- ing program—the debate. Saturday is well cared for by a program of dramatic readings and impersonations given by Mrs. Dorothy Kurtzman. Mrs. Kurtz- man has won the approval of all! who have heard her. ANONYMOUS LETTERS WILL NOT BE HEEDED Hereafter Sheriff Riley Will Not Pay Any Attention to Un- signed Complaints. Almost invariably the anonymous) letter writer is a contemptible per- son. Without exception one who sends communications through the mails or otherwise without signing his or her name is a moral cow- ard. The writer of unsigned letters is usually a slanderer whose word is nev safe to rely upon. of this class of mysterious creature to deal with and hereafter he pro- poses to unceremoniously con- | sign anonymous complaints to the official waste basket. In a num- ber of instances he has yielded to the appeals of persons who would | not sign their names to charges of alleged law violations and in every case the allegations proved to} be groundless. Recently an unnamed correspon- | dent from Wirt charged that the/ saloon at Stanley was being con- | ducted in a manner that violated alll the liquor laws in Minnesota. Spe-j cifie instances of violations were | given, dates named, etc. At his own expense the sheriff employed Robert Harling of Taconite, a mem-} ber of the Oliver Iron Mining com- | pany’s police force, a man of un- impeachable character, and sent; him to the Stanley neighborhood | to make a thorough investigation. | Mr. Harling was in the vicinity of! Sunday, but found no evidence on | which to enter complaint. Sheriff) Riley sent Harling because he was| unknown to the people of that sec- tion. He remained there from} May 16 to May 49, inclusive. This | perience cost the Sheriff just $24, money paid out of his own pocket. Now comes another un- signed letter from Wirt contain- ing similar charges of liquor law olations at Starley. The sheriff wishes to announce that he is through with ghost stories. It is | the moral duty of any citizen who} knows of law violations to place the information before the authori-! ties and make affidavit thereto. | Otherwise no attention will, be paid to the complaints. Anyone who is interested in the enforcement of liquor laws, or any other laws, should be willing to come forward with information in a manly man-} her and give the authorities such facts as are in their possession. In future the anonymous creature} will not get an audience with Sher- iff Riley. Real Estate Tax Due June 1. As June 1 is the date for the pay- ment of real estate taxes, our farm- ers who contemplate making the trip to the county seat for this | purpose should make up their mind} to. get ere a couple of days be- fore hand—on Friday, to be exact. This is the day of the meeting ef the Itasca County Development associaiion, and our rural friends ean kill two birds with one stone by coming in and squaring their account with the county treasurer, then remaining over for the iban- quet in the evening. The taxes have to be paid anyway, and it is not every day that an opportuni- ty will be offered to hear matters of such interest discussed by men of national reputation at the same time. Make it a point to be in Grand Rapids on Friday next.

The Grand Rapids base ball nine is starting the season in a manner that should satisfy everyone in town who takes any interest in the national pastime. They eas- ily walked away with the scalps f the Bovey: bunch in the first ame of the season, and on Sunday duplicated the trick by sending the strong Cass Lake aggregation home defeated by a 4 to 2 If we 2 score. were crowded real hard we would perhaps have to admit that the outcome was more the result of poor playing on the part of the visitors than through any particu- brilliant performance on the part of the home team, but we came off with the long end of the score, and that’s what counts, The visitors secured two scores right at the beginning of the game, and it was at the end of the sev- enth inning before our bunch man- aged to catch up with the lead. In the meantime the lads from Cass Lake had been unable to crowd another man across the plate, although their attitude was more or less threatening on a number of occasions. Our boys easily led the visitors in field work. The latter putting up a decidedly ragged variety. Lofber:, for the Rapids, pitched a good, con- | sistent game, but would have been in distress on more than one oc- casion had it not been for the shappy support of his team mates. Ralph Brandon, formerly of the Rapids nine, played second base for the visitors, and just to show that he was still fond of the boys, lifted one of Lofberg’s slants over against the left field paling for a home run. This was the only of- fense of the kind committed by either side during the matinee, and as the bases were empty at the time, did not prove serious. WEDNESDAY, MAY 21, 1913. “PRIVATE SECRETARY” | BY THE HIGH SCHOOL, A Play With a Thousand Laughs and Good for What Ails You. The “Private Secretary” to. be presented by the members of the senior class, promises to be one of the best plays ever put ®n at the auditorium. It is being pre- pared for presentation by the Ev- eleth High school this spring, and has been presented by the High school at Albert Lee and Thief River, and also by the senior class of Macalister college. The fact that the high school faculty deem it worthy of being presented two nights in Grand Rapids is ample proof of its worth. The scenes are laid in England. The story is of a young man, Doug- las Cattermole, and his uncle, who have been separated for a long time. The uncle is very anxious for his nephew to “saw his wild oats,” as he puts it. Douglas is of exactly the opposite temperament. He is given to quiet study and a less exciting career in life. When Mr. Cattermole, a fat, gruff, short spoken old gentleman, learns from Mrs. Stead, Douglas’ landlady, that Douglas is a very prudent, studious young man, he is very angry, and frightens Mrs. Stead away from his presence. When Rev. Robt. Spalding comes into the room, he jis taken by Mr. Cattermole to be his nephew. The scene which fol- lows between them creates the greatest amusement. Mr. Cattermole remains in ignorance of the mis- take he has made in taking the young parson for his nephew, until the last act. Then there follows a very touching and sympathetic re- conciliation between uncle and nephew. Miss Ashford, the spinster who is so taken up with spiritualism and its demonstrations that she pesters éveryone with whom she comes in contact, whether they Next Sunday the Taconite nine will cross bats with Grand Rap- ids at the South Side park, and as this is said to be one of the best aggregations in the Canesteo dis- trict, a god game shoould result. Following is a summary of Sun- ;days game: Sheriff Riley has had his share CREAMERY FOUND IN. VERY GOOD CONDITION Assistant Dairy Inspector J. E. Lindberg, Finds Local Institu- tion Among the Best The report made by J. E. Lind- berg of North Branch, assistant dairy inspector, regarding conditions found at the plant of the Itasea Co-operative creamery on his recent visit to the institu- tion, is highly flattering to the management and should be satis- factory to the patrons. Mr. Lind- berg said while here that this plant was one of the best he has visited, and complimented those in charge very highly on the manner in which the creamery was conducted. The plant as a whole scored over 900 points out of a possible 1000, ang this is a fine showing. The milk and cream tested scored 30 points, which is perfect. The appearance of the plant and system of man- agement are so highly spoken of that the management, buttermaker and patrons have every reason to feel well satisfied with the report. Secretary Niles reports the follow ing have received checks of over $15 for milk and cream during the past two weeks; J. D. Hinegard- ner; $29.05; C. A. Buell, $16.91; Neil Mullen, $39.94; Mrs. J. A. Moore, $17.18; Experimental Farm, $20.88; John Frazer, $39.24; Peterson & Hoolihan, $70.10; John Johnson, $23.63; Axel Anderson, $15. 59. THE GEM CLOSES UNIVERSITY WEEK Manager and Mrs. Comer Show Commendable Enterprise and Home Patriotism. During University week the Gem theatre will be dark. Manager Comer desires to assist in making University week a success and be- lieves it should be the only at- traction in Grand Rapids from June 9 to 14 inclusive. In taking this step Mr. and Mrs. Comer are making no little financial sacrifice, as very naturally their show house would attract considerable patron- age while the University program is in progress. In addition to voluntarily closing his business for six nights Mr. Com er has consented to assume local yield by force, or by voluntary consent, plays a very important part in the plot. Mr. Marsland is the man who hires the private secretary. His daughter, Edith, and her friend, Eva Webster, are a constant source of anxiety, both to Mr. Marsland and Miss Ashford, because of their girlish pranks and misbehavior. The play will be exceptionally good because of the excellent im- personation of the characters by the caste, and also because of the experience of the director, Mr. Carson, who took part in the play when it was put on by the senior class of Macalister college. boards at the Itasca Mercantile store, so that a_ ticket bought for either Monday or Tues- day night, as may be desired.
