A Town That Is Not, But Which

Resources, Prospects
and People.

It is nearly one year since this
part of the world was started by
the purchase Of tract of land in
a remote part of Itasca county
for which some st. Paul capital
lists paid $4,000 to the state.
Timber land has brought good
prices beforeIin this section; but
this particular tract was not valu-
able for it's timber. Thirty-thre
dollars and sixtysix cents per
acre was the price paid, and it
being the largest price ever paid
to the state for land SO remotely
situated and without timber value;
no wonder the people of Beltrami
and the state were startled.

will here spring up as soon as
railroads make the locality acces-
sible. A personal inspection Of
the region cannot but strengthen
that opinion.
Grand Falls is situated in the
center of the northern half of.
Itasca county. That makes it
the county seat as soon as that
county is divided. 1t is located
on the big stream known as Big
Fork river, on the International
& Northern Minnesota railroad,
72 miles from Bemidji and :3.
miles from the Canadian bound
ary. This gives it all requisites
for an important trading center.
Sturgeon Falls at this point fur
nishes a waterpower perhaps
second tononein Northern Mime
sofa. This waterpower and the
tributary timber supply have but
to, join hands to make Grand Falls
a mecca for the manufacturer Of
lumber and paper. The spruce.
timber easily obtainable from.
lands tributary to the Big Fork
river is sufficient in quantity to.
encourage the establishment Of
pulp mills of large capacity. We.
do not expect to see large saw
mills located here. While there
is a large amount of pine tribu-.
tary, the Minneapolis sawyers
are so eagerly buying it at pres
ent that we are lead to believe
that they mean, TO take advantage
of the new railroad to carry their
timber to their established mills.
Can this waterpower be util-
lied? is a question which brings
widely different answers. We.
think it can be. When the river
is high the water pours over the!
falls with force that would run
all the machinery in the state.
But in low water there is a great
difference. Some say that only
by the establishment of some
kind Of a reservoir down the river
can an equitable power be Sc
cured. We will leave this ques
ton to the engineers. It has
been claimed that here the river
has a fall of 33 feet, but the rail
road engineers who have just
completed the permanent survey
claim that the fall is actually 40
feet. The water flows over a
ledgeof granite nearly a quarter
of mile Of drop-very swiftly.
The roaring water broken by
countless protruding rocks and
hemmed in by high wooded banks
forms as pretty view as can be
found in the country.
The site of the newtown is on
high level land overlooking the
falls, and is an ideal location fora
fair and healthy city. AS we said
last week the land surrounding
the falls and along the Big Fork
river is we'll adapted for farming
purposes. At present there are
about half a dozen families con-
gregated around the falls, but
they are all hopeful that they will
not be lonesome long.
Dan Campbell is the hermit of
Grand Falls. For 21 years he
has dwelt upon his homestead on
the river bank just north of the
falls. The solitude of his winters
have been broken by the occa-
sional appearance of loggers and
trappers, and in summer the In
dians and a few hunters have
made him company. The past
year has, however, given him
more gGmpses of civilization than
the other 20 years combined.
The surrounding country is rap
idly being settled up, and a few
months ago Grand Falls saw a
dance at which 20 ladies were
present. That event marked the

SAN JUAN. July AIN a joint session
lasting three hours the Porto Rican Assem-
bly, to-day unanimously passed the free
trade resolution. The assembly hall was
crowded with people, aud cheers greeted
the announcement that Governor Allen had
signed the resolution.
The free-trade resolution begins with a
preamble in which reference is made TO
Section 3 Of the Foraker law. The resolu-
ton then continues:
The Porto Rican Assembly, in extra
session and acting pursuant TO the instruc-
tons OF Congress, does hereby notify the
President of the United States that by vir-
tue of the Hollander act and other acts 1t
has enacted and put into operation a sys-
tenn of local taxation to meet the necessi-
ties of insular government. and IL hereby
directs that a copy of this joint resolution
be presented to the President of the United
states. and Ii requests that Governor Allen
deliver the resolution in question TO Presi-
dent Mckinley, to the end that the procla-
nation may be made by him, and If it
shall seem wise and proper to the Presi-
dent of the United States the Assembly
requests that his proclamation be issued
July 20 as that day is being established a
legal Porto Rican holiday to commemorate
the anniversary of the coming Of the
American flag
Governor Allen personally read a mess
age before the assembly. in which he ex-
nduStiNtiy IeNltWeQ the financial SITUATION
Of the island. and showed that Porto Rico
possessed abundant revenues for it's needs
without drawing upon customs receipts.
Mr. Hollander's report on the islands re-
sources from which revenue could be de-
rived was considered sufficiently definite TO
warrant the joint resolution in favor of
free trade
The resolution was introduced by Senior
Morales. Mr.. Hollander, in a long speech
reviewed the workings OF the new tax law
and explained the new system OF taxation
He said: Present conditions make this
joint resolution possible and the insular as
sembly can henceforth dispense with the
revenues accruing from Porto Rican Gus
tens Several other lengthy speeches were
made.
The resolution passed at l2:45 and was
signed by Governor Allen.
To-day's action of the assembly is con.
sidered TO be the most important taken
by it since the inauguration of Governor
Allen.

The local weather bureau last night re-
ported the following registrations of the
Thermometer for the day.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1901-07-05

The forecast is for continued hot wealth
er, with occasional local thunderstorns.
which as yet have not appeared in Indiana.
Yesterday there were several periods OF
cloudiness. which. with stif breezes, at
times gave great relief from the heat,
which in the absence OF winds is almost
unbearable owing 10 the fact that the
pavements and solid bodies have become
so thoroughly impregnated with heat. The
late afternoon witnessed refreshing breezes,
which died out for about an hour. causing
much suffering. especially at the time when
people were hurrying 10 and from home.
Several days more is what the weather
man here says.
Last nights reports 70 the Weather
Bureau. at Washington. show that extreme
high temperature continued over a large
section OF the country affected by the hot
wave but that in quite a number OF locali-
ties the thermometer was a few degrees
lower than on Wednesday. In some others
Il was higher. The lower temperatures that
were recorded were due to local thunder
storms, and IL is said that a gradual re-
duction of the extreme heat will result
from these storms. The officials would not
venture an opinion as to the possibility Of
a cool wave making its appearance. but
contented themselves with the simple
statement of the probability of a steady
lowering of the high temperatures through
atmospheric conditions. West of the Mis-
sissippi. where the thermometer has been
very high. the moderation in temperatures
from expected thunderstorms will be much
sharper than in the East. In the north
eastern section OF the United States pre-
dictions for cooler weather to-day are
made. resulting from winds from the ocean
and similar result will be felt in the lake
