BIG SALE IS NOW ON AT
SCHNEIDER BROTHERS.
Popular Clothing Firm Did More Busi-
ness In 1906 Than During Any
Previous Year.

In an interview given by e. A.
Schneider of the firm of
Schneider Bros, he repeats the
statement made to us last year.
"We have sold more goods this
year than in any previous year
since the house was established. "
This is the statement Schneider
Bros. have made every year in
the past, and no doubt they will
continue to repeat this every
year in the future.
In the course of his conYersa.
tion, Mr.. Schneider said: .
"Not only has the business
increased, but it has been more
satisfactory than ever before,
and more gratifying from all
points of viewing it. People
have bought better clothing than
in former years. /"
This means that the people
have learned that the firm of
Schneider Bros, is the quality
store.
On another page, they adver-
tise their semi-annual clearance
sale, at which you can buy some
of their very best stock at a very
low figure, and the most of it at a
fair discount.
Schneider Bros semi-annual
clearance sales are always
watched for, as they are always
full of genuine bargains.

Writes Of Conditions at
Lankin, N. D.

Mrs. George Smith has re.
ceived a letter from her
daughter, Mrs. Hattie Donovan,
who lives at Lankin, n. D., which
gives a fair idea of the condi.
tions which prevail out in the
"F'ickertail" state, relative to
snow blockades and the scarcity
of provisions and fuel.
Mr.. Donovan is agent for the
500 railroad at Lankin.
The letter is as follows:
Lankin, N. D., Jan. 12, 'O7.
DEAR MOTHER:
There is prospect that we
will get some letters out today
SO I will write you few lines.
We have not starved or frozen to
death, yet, but rations are get
ting pretty short and still it
SHOWS and blows. I never, in all
my life, saw half as much snow.
We havn't had a pound of freight
since December II, and only a
little mail. There is no sugar,
tea, yeast or potatoes in town,
and only very little coffee; nc
wood and no coal. don't dare
tell anyone that I am not entirely
out of groceries. We have
about three bushels of hard and
soft coal, together. The towns
have asked for help from the
government, so we may get some
things in, soon. Some towns are
much worse of than we are.
wish you would send me pack.
age of yeast foam by return mail
That seems like little thing,
but when there are none within
one hundred miles tits pretty
big thing.
A man died here yesterday
and they have got to bury him
right beside the door, for they
can't get anywhere else with
him.
I must close. We are all we'll.
Love to all. HATTIE.

within the present county Of
Itasca, two of them living in
Koochiching county, the new
county. One of them, A. A.
Tone of Northome, moved over
the line into Itasca county,
Northome being close to the
boundary, and continued to act
as a member Of the board. How
ever, this left a board of four
mem bers, and it was up to that
board to redistrict the county
and appoint fifth mem Der.
The board stands two and two,
and thus it cannot agree upon
any proposition. The bond Of
the new county attorney, Mr..
Thwing, is not yet approved, so
he cannot act. George H. Spear,
the only county attorney, has va.
Gated his Office, so there is no
county attorney.
Zone matter on which the
county is split is on the poor
farm property, which is supposed
to overlie important iron de-
posits. Wishing to have the
property explored and mine
developed, in order that Grand
Rapids might have the benefit of
It's payrolls and of the assessed
valuation of the mine to help
out on taxes, the board gave an
option on the property to W. G.
Gilbert for $65,000. Gilbert
gave an option to the steel trust
for 100000, and the company
began exploring. The option ex-
pired before anything was found,
and the steel company wants a
renewal. It was over this that
the board split. It is said that
Gilbert offered to throw up his
rights, and let the county board
give a direct option to the steel
company at 100000, but the
board cannot even agree on
this.
"Matters stand thus, and
meantime busines languishes
and nothing is done. At first it
was proposed to put a bill
through allowing the chairman
of townships to appoint a com
missioner at large, in order to
break the deadlock. Now it is
proposed to file charges and
try to have the entire board re-
