Exchange Comments

Bear River Journal: The season
is at hand when every farmer who
intends to have an exhibit at the
Tri-County fair and Farmers Insti-
tute at Bear River, and the st. Louis
county fair at Hibbing, should COM
mence gathering their forage grasses,
including clover for these exhibits.
Pull your best samples and hang
them up inside to dry and don't be
stingy in the amount. To receive
any consideration your bundle must
exceed inches in diameter. Bear
River failed to get the first prize at
the Hibbing fair last year on this one
count. It has the goods all right, and
this year it not only wants the fame
of netting the first prize at the best
county fair in the northwest and the
tee advertising that goes with it.,
but the cash prizes as we'll. It is
up to the farmers of the Bear River
country to get busy right away.

Miss Anna Kron, who for some time
past has made her home in Virginia
and who was employed as domestic
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
Gillian and later as waitress at the
Bon Ton restaurant, was drowned in
Ely lake, short distance from Eve
leth, Sunday afternoon when canoe
in which she was riding with S.Abra-

overturned. Miss Kron sank almost
instantly and the body never again
came to the surface. It was recov-

afternoon by party consisting Of
Chief of Police Rice of Virginia, Peter
Cosgrove of Gilbert, Deputy Sheriff
Arthur O'Dea and Fred J. NOLAN of
Virginia, together with other resi-

the lake had been dragged with grap-

hours.
Miss Kron was a member of a pic

definitely decided whether it will be

Special cars will be chartered from

the little folks have a real big days

ample refreshments and program of

PLANS WORKED .myr FOR
NEW NORMAL DEPARTMENT

DR.. P. P. Colgrove, superintendent
Of schools, has worked out the plan
under which the new Normal teach
ers training department, a new feat
ure Of the work of the Virginia
schools, to begin with the opening of
the fall term, will be undertaken. The
students in the Normal department
will be limited for the present to 20.
Miss Izzette Sabean will be in charge.
The course will be one year and two
years of high school work will be re-
quired to enter. First grade certi-
ficates will be given to pupils who
have taken three years of high school
work before entering the Normal de-
partment, and second grade certifi-
Gates will be given to students who
have completed but two years of high
school work. The graduates will be
eligible to teach in any Of the rural
schools of st. Louis county.

HIGGINS PROPERTIES TO
BE DEVELOPED SOON.

Biwabik Times: Three additional
drills have been put on the Higgins
land just west Of town.
This is taken to mean that the To-
cation Of their shafts is being fixed
and that development work will not
be long delayed.
1t is stated also in we'll informed
circles in other towns that the steel
people expect to begin development
work on this property next year, and
that several shafts are to be sunk on
the Higgins property between Biwa-
blk and Mckinley.
It has been known for some time
that the ore on this land is to be
mined in the immediate future, and
the general belief is that the Canton
mine will be operated at the same
time.
This development means rapid
growth for Biwabik. The question is
whether it will come this or next
year.

MOTHER OF MRS. HARRY
GILLESPIE DEAD AT ST. PAUL

Mrs. w. j. Munro Of st. Paul,
mother of Mrs. Harry Gillespie Of
Virginia, died at st. Paul hospital
at $3.50 last Friday afternoon, ten
days after submitting to a surgical
operation at the same institution.
Mrs. Munro was quite well known
in Virginia, where she has often Wis
tied her daughter, and news of her
death comes as a sad surprise to
many friends here. Mrs. Gillespie
had but recently visited her and had
returned to her home in 4 Virginia
when she was again summoned to St.
Paul by telegram announcing Mrs.
Munroe's serious illness. She under
went the immediate ordeal Of the OPP
Grafton well, but began to fail early
last week and Friday telegram sum
moned Mr.. Gillespie OF this city to
her bedside. Funeral services were
conducted 6 St Paul Monday.

Aurora News: Editor Schaefer of
the Ely Miner sees the hand of the
Lake Superior Taxpayers association
in the recent injunction proceedings
brought against the mayor and city
council of that city. If court actions
are the methods by which the associ-
alton expects to offer it's services to
communities the courts are apt to be-
quite busy. This association is very
doubtless able to accomplish much
good for the range communities, but
the service must be offered in good
faith and not injected through the
courts.

International Falls Press: The
calling Of the special grand jury by
Judge McClenehan to consider the
case of the state against James Kelly,
who is charged with the death of Fred
Couture meets with general public
approval, and it is hoped that while
the jury is in session other public
matters will be thoroughly looked in
to. The consensus of opinion seems
to be that this has been an open city
and country long enough and that
every effort should be made by pri-
vate citizens as well as by officers to
aid in the enforcement Of law to the
end that the best interests Of all
within our jurisdiction shall be con-
cerned.

The city council at Chisholm
and the agents of the various
brewing companies there have
reached an agreement regarding
the sale of beer to so-called
blind pigs. Under it's terms the
council is to furnish to the
brewing company agents the
names Of people who have been
convicted of operating unlicens-
ed drinking places and the brew
ing companies agree not to sell
beer to them. It is further
agreed that they will not retail
beer in kegs, or deliver it put up
in any form at the locations,
or about the city after 6 o'clock
at night. There is, however, so
far as the information in the
published accounts of the agree
ment extends, no agreement COW
ering the sale Of beer in case
lots. The blind pig evil has
been a serious question to all
the range cities and as this is
the first time the brewing COM
panies have made an organized
effort to cooperate with village
and city authorities, it is evil
dent that they have reached the
conclusion that their business
interests in the long run will be
better served by doing some
thing to meet the demands of
public sentiment than by the old
tactics of evasion and obstruc-
ton.

young people went out for ride in
canoes. In attempting to change
seats in the craft it capsized. Miss
Kron,s companion, Mr.. Abrahamson,
made heroic efforts to rescue her. He
was unsuccessful, however. The acct
dent occurred in plain view of num-
Der Of people on the lake and on the
shore. Divers worked until darkness
to recover the body, but owing to the
great depth of the water their efforts
were unsuccessful.
Chief of Police Rice, who investi-
gated the case most carefully, has
learned that the young woman was
subject to heart trouble. He believes
the shock Of precipitation into the
water caused her death, and accounts
for the fact that the body did not rise
after it first went down.
Miss Kron had no relatives in Vir-
ginia. A brother and sister live at
West Superior. They are expected to
come here to take charge of the re-
mains and the funeral will likely be
held at Superior.

Comes now Senator Works
with the statement that Presi-
dent Wilson exceeded his consti-
tutional authority in helping to
frame the tariff bill. President
Wilson has a habit of doing
things that is getting on with
the people immensely. The
question of authority that has
been raised is not at all serious.
The president may go as far as
he likes and the people will be
satisfied if he just does some
thing to get a tariff bill enacted
that will not disturb the coun-
try's business balance and he is
apparently bending every effort
in that direction.

Marc Atkinson says goodbye
to Hibbing in the current issue
Of the Mesaba Ore, which he has
virtually edited for the past two
years and goes to Crosby to take
charge of the Crosby Crucible,
founded by his father, C. M. At
kinson, a few months ago. Marc
Atkinson will be a credit to his
new home. He is a young man
of fine ability and of sterling in
tegrity, and his host Of friends
over the state will be glad to
know that he is not to leave the
field Of newspaper making in
Minnesota. Few young men
bring to the business higher
ideals, better realization of it's
responsibilities or more enthu-
siasm, and few, indeed are gift
ed with the same degree of tai
ent. Claude Atkinson, his faith
er, made the Mesaba Ore one of
the best and most widely read
of Minnesota country newspa-
pers a good many years ago,
and Marc has kept it up to the
high standard he set. He is one
Of the brightest, cleanest, most
able and conscientious young
newspaper men we know, and
we are sure at his new home he
will be an influence for better
citizenship, a bigger and bet
ter Crosby, and in short will per-
fectly fit into the niche his
father has there created for
him. The elder Atkinson will d.
vide his time between the papers
at Crosby and Hibbing and
"fshin' ''-mostly the latter
however. It is part of his phil
osophy of life to live by the way
side and no one who knows him
will deny him the right or doubt
that he is applying the correct
logic, after his long years Of
usefulness-not yet by any
means ended-in the newspaper
field of the iron range.

The Duluth Herald last week
printed a very creditable story
under the caption: "How Du-

Year Fight to Revive a City
That Had Lost It's Grip" If
Duluth has really woke up."
after she rubs her eyes and
yawns a time or two, the towns
and cities of the range would
like her active cooperation to
the end that the concrete high
way the Duluth Rotary club is
discussing between that city
and the ranges becomes q real
ity.
