CONTEST POSSIBLE over
DIVISION VOTE IN lTAsCA
Claimed Several Precincts Which Gave
Majorities Against Division Were
Not Counted.

There is likely to be a contest
fight over the division of Itasca
county, which was voted on and
supposedly carried by small
majority at the late election. The
Independent of Grand Rapids is
responsible for the story, and
has the following to say:
+ The county division carried by
! a majority Of Az according to
the returns of the canvassing
board, the actual vote on the
proposition gives a3much smaller
majority. The canvassing board,
we understand, found that the
returns on this question from
seventeen precincts, were not
certified to, and for that reason
the votes were not counted.
The reason given for this omis-
sion Of the certificate on the
question in those precincts is

WHEN MELBA POSTED BILLS.

Who would eve imagine, says the
Grand Gagazine, that Nine. Melba
once went forth armed with a pail of
paste in one hand, a paste brush in
the other and a roll of bills under her
arm?
Such a thing, however, actually
happened in the early days of her
career, when she was hungering for
opportunities to sing in public.
While Nellie Mitchell, as she then
was, was still a schoolgirl holiday
making at Sorrento, in Victoria, she
got up a concert in aid of n of the
local charities.
She asked her family to help her
exc out her own meagre savings,
which she intended to devote to the
purpose; but her father, in spite of
the fact that he was very fond of
music-and still has a fine voice
which he loves to use-did not care
to encourage his daughter in the en-
terprise. In the hope of stirling her
leaning toward a professional career
he refused any aid whatever.
This check, however, did not daunt
| the plucky little songbird in any way
| She determined, having pledged her.
self so far, to cary the matter
through, cost what it might, without
| any assistance. Unfortunately al
| her savings had by this time beer
! swallowed up in the preliminary eX
| penses, and there was not a penn!

AFTER The
QuARRYMEN

The Interstate Palisades Park
Commission is now considering ways
and means by which the Odell-Foss
>quarries may be prevented at once
from accomplishing the utter dis
figurement of Hook Mountain. The
Wainwright bill, which was passed
by the last legislature, empowered
the Palisades Parf Commission to ac-
quire by purchase all of the river
land on the west shore of the Hudson
river from Piermont, New York, to
Stony Point, including Hook Noun
tain and the hill lands contiguous to
it, necessary for the preservation OF
that landmark. By this bill, how
ever, the commission was not en-
powered to exercise the right of en-
inent domain except by purchase. AS
soon after the passage of he bill as
practicable, the Palisades Park Com
mission began searching the titles to
all of the many tracts of land in
volved, preparatory to making the
necessary purchases. This work was
begun after a considerable fund was
in hand, the moneys having been
donated voluntarily by a group OF
individuals who became interested In
the park project a number of years
ago when President Roosevelt, who
was then governor of the state, lent
his influence in favor of the plan by
appointing a New York state com
mission to act with a commission ap'
pointed by New Jersey to acquire the
Palisades in the state of New Jersey
and a small portion of them lying in
New York state north of the jersey
line and extending thence to Pier
mont.
Contributions for the new fund fol
the extension of the park to Stony
Point, while generous in amount, are
not sufficient to carry out all of the
plans of the commission. 1t is no
