ARepias WeratdsMReview * Published Every Wednesday cota alsa _By KILEY @ SPENCER ‘TWO DOLLARS A YEAR IN ADVANCE Entered at the Postoffice at Grand Rap. ids, Minn., as Second Class Matter. Official Paper of Itasca County FEDERAL AID FOR ROADS. As a means whereby northeast- ern Minnesota can be brought di- rectly to the attention of the gen- eral public the proposed federal | highway through the: forest! reserve along the Canadian boundary is a movement of definite importance. Senator Nelson has introduced a bill in the United States senate in which an appropriation is called for of $50,000 for this purpose. In the bill it is designated that the highway shall commence at some point along the north shore of lake Superior and terminate at the international border. This forest is in two distincv bodies. One at the east extends along the boundary in Cook and Lake counties and into St. Louis county. The western end of this body is near Ely and the strip is approximately 85 miles in length. Between the land just mentioned and the secondstrip there is a strip of about two townships pri- vately owned. The second portion of the federal reserve is entirely within St. Louis county and con- sists of near 20 townships. There are literally thousands of lakes in the reserve together with | timber in abundance. This magnificance of natural scenery the resources. coupled with the fact tha it is unquestionably the greatest game territory remaining in all the states gives it a claim on the federal government that can not well be longer ignored. There is at present no govern- ment road in this part of the state, so that this proposal is the acknowledgment of a duty and of- fers an opportunity as well. The duty lies in the fact that no state or portion of a state with such beauty should be withdrawn from settlement -and private de- velopment without it is subse- quently made into a place of beauty and usefulness. _ This road would logically begin ai Grand Marais and extend north- west by way of Ely, to some point on the Rainey River for a distance of about 100 miles. All northeast- ern Minnesota will welcome the ef- forts to get this appropriation be- fine | lieving that” it is no more than is justly due*this quarter of the slate. STATE WONT-MESS OVER SWAN LAKE Some time ago the residents around Swan Lake who get water from that body started action to compel the ;Wisconsin Steel com- pany to stop the discoloration of the supply by washing ore therein, William “Olander; a nearby resi- dent, the company. Appeal was ‘made to the attorney general, Lyndon A. Smith, for assistance in the matter, and the «ttorney for Olander re- ceived a communication from that official stating that the state would not feel justified in injuring so important an industry for so slight a causét/as’ that set forth in the complaint.’ Several similar cases have new been taken before Fed- eral Judge Page Morris at Duluth, in an jattempt to have the steel company <restrained from using the water ‘of the lake to dump their wash from the ore. 'HOTEL PROPERTY TO BE OPENED AGAIN John Bilodeau, the popular, res- taurant keeper, has lately secured control of the hotel building across the streét. from the Grand theater and will have it fitted up for roomers. - Mrs. Edward Stevens, who owned this building made him a proposition to make. a change of proprietors-and after giving the matter due consideration he con- }cluded to take the building. He was induced to do this by the prospects for Grand Rapids. The installing of steam'heat in his rooms over the 5 and 40 cent store has made ‘a demand for the rooms there, so ‘that nearly ail have already been spoken for and the transient trade keeps the rooms over the restaur- ant full every night. Then the de- mand seems to be increased so that the acquiring of the other building was almost necessary to meet the growing requirements. Several to Mr. Bilodeau for the lower room and Grand Rapids may wake up any morning and behold a new house of business. Metal by Thankgiving. For a few weeks the people of Hill City have been wondering whether the Jones furnace, which has been planned for that place. will actually be located there. The delay caused Milton Botsford to write to the manager of the new furnace plant at Duluth and a re- ply from him states that they will be making metal be Thanksgiving. This makes the people of Hill City feel good again. ” Grandpa says it’s the o oniy stove that will keep him v ‘warm if real cold weather A New Round Oak Makes the smoke clear— Burns the soot and gases The Round Oak Double Burner is the only stove made that has a double hot blast.

The crop is now ready to harvest and the -minister.has just been to Duluth, secured 400 sacks and received prices on the crop f. o. b. Coleraine. The price offered was 65 cents per bushel. According to the estimate of the probable yield there will be about 1,000 bushels, and ,deducting the cost of seed andtending, the net result will be about $500 for the chureh. Pretty gool for an experi- ment. BIG FORK FAIR GREAT SUCCESS Prof. Corwin of the Grand Rapids High School was in, attendance at the Community fair at Big Fork held the later part of last week. It was a new idea at that place and was an entire success. A number of premiums were awarded for the best work shown from the schools and the best products from the farms. Several good showings of corn were to be seen, besides thiigs that can be raised in this county. Prof. Corwin did the judging and placing of premiums and made an address afterwards which was at- ‘tended by about 100 people. ,The remarks were relative to the things) that must be done in order to suc- ceed in farm wor.k Big Fork has as good a future as any section in the jeounty.

San Francisco, Cal., Oct. 7—The so called “Slingsby baby case,” in- volving $50,000 a year income from a Yorkshire (Eng.) estate, and a charge of baby substitution by Lieutenant and Mrs. Charles Ramond Slingsby in order to get this income, is to be reopened. The Slingsbys live in Vancouver, B. C., and are British subjects. More than a year ago the case at- tained prominence when the Slings- bys, claiming the estate, were op- posed by Lieutenant Slingsby’s broth- er, who said their alleged heir was the child of a California school girl. This would invalidate Slingsby’s claim, under the will. HOLDUP MEN GET $16,000 Masked Bandits Rob Cashier. Money Is Found Later, Stonington, Conn., Oct. 7.—Carl A.

The accusation as stated in the indictment was for| assault in the second degree, and under this the claim was made that he struck Johnson with a dangerous weapon, one that was designed to produce great bodily injury. The claim was made by the pro- secution that Johnson and Charley Logan were walking down the street when Blakigs ran up from behind and began hitting Johnson over the back and shoulders with a club about two and a half or three inches in diameter. He could assign no cause for the act. Johnson testified that he had fired twenty-one men all on one shift that day jand Julius Blackis was one of them. He claims to have done nothing in return for the hitting but covered his face with his hands and asked his as- sailant what he was trying to do Finally a crowd came and rescued see him three hours later he was shaking like a maple leaf after the first frost. The defendant told a story that was believed by the jury, for they took but one ballot and in four minutes after going out returned a verdict of “not guilty.” Blackis said that he was one of the 24 men let out on August 27, and that evening he wanted to go away and so went to Johnson as he was going down the street and ask- ed him to give ‘him his time. John- ser told him that he could not have it for ten deye and when Biackis insisted that he must have it as he wanted to g0jaway, John- son told Logan, the ‘man with him, to knock Blackis down. Thereupon both Johnson and Logan assaulted the prisoner and he, to defend him- self, picked up a stick and hit Johnson over the back. A crowd soon assembled and the fighting ceased. Johnson was not hurt very much for he did not consult a doctor and was at the office of But ler Brothers, where he was em- ployed, the next day. Blackis was hurt so that he was in bed for a few days. It seemed that the hor- Tible tale of butchery was told to the Butler brothers and that they, acting under the impulse produced by this information, caused the ar- rest of the whole 21 men and then held this one fora serious crime. Attorneys Stone & Stone defended the man, the active work falling to the junior member of the firm who resides in Keewatin. He said to the jury that this case was an ordinary brawl usual on the range, and that it should have been settled in the justice,court without having been invested with the ser- iousness indicated by its ‘Deing in district court. The jury believed the story of Blakis as it took but a short time to free him. He could not’ speak English and had to speak through an interpreter. | J. H. Dis- Pinakis of Grand Rapids, acting as interpreter. The personnel of the jury which freed Blackis in so short a time was George Williams, Phillip. Hauck, Stanley McMahon, John Unger, John Rush, Wm. Ash- ton,; George Lockwood, P. W. Wilkie, W. S. Kingston, Edward Hiller, Merl Kniffin. Gust Korhonen of Sago township was accused of beating Mrs. Sali Neimi with a sack following a dis- agreement cver the sale of a ‘calf by the laiter to the former. This was considered so small a matter that the jury also turned him louse. Want A Postmaster.
