Magic LEADS OTHERS
AS MONEY-SPENDER

DULUTH, June 25.-In compliance
with the corrupt practices law of 1912,
candidates for nomination and election
are daily filing their expense state
ments with County Auditor Halden.
These statements will be filed from
time to time until the general cleo
ton in November, as required by law.
A glance over the statements shows
that Frank L. Magic, one of the nomi-
nees for sheriff at the primary, has
incurred greater expense than any
other candidate in the county. Thus
far he has expended $808.68. Sheriff
John R. Meining is second, with an
expenditure of $777.26.
There were number of other can
didates for nomination whose only
outlay to secure place on the ticket
was the filing fee of $40. Of the
latter, D. 7. Collins of Hibbing, can
didate for representative from the
Sixtieth district, was the only one to
get a nomination.

Il wish to express my sincere ap-
probation of the splendid manner in
which the members of the Board have
co-operated at all times during the

that to promote their welfare there

and cordial relations between the

year. believe we have secured an
exceptionally strong corps Of teach

why the schools of Virginia should be

GRAND RAPIDS TO BE
WITHOUT A HOSPITAL

GRAND RAPIDS, June 25.-St.
Benedict's hospital, established nearly
a quarter of century, will be closed
on July 1.
The building, which is a frame af-
fair, was a short time ago condemned
for hospital purposes, and as the pat

during the last five years because
Of the cessation of logging operations
in the neighborhood, the management

The building was erected in 1891
and had many managers during the
first years of its existence until the
Benedictine Sisters acquired it in
1898. This will leave Grand Rapids
without hospital.

THE HERALD'S SENSATIONAL OFFER
To THE PEOPLE OF THIS LOCALITY
FHe-Passenger Ford Touring Car 1915 Model to be Given
Away by This Paper---0her Valuable Presents Also
to be Gven--- Contest is Open to Everyone
Who is Willing to Work Little

IT'S said that once in blue moon
something really important comes to
pass in every community. We do
not know whether or not this is the
blue moon season, but we do know
that the really important something
is going to happen in this vicinity.
Such an offer as we are making in
this issue is phenomenal for COM
munity of this size, but when we do
a thing we want to do it up right,
so we are going to give away five
passenger Ford touring car, 1915
model, and several other prizes of
proportionate value. These prizes
are going to be awarded to the am
bilious men and women of this local
;ty who can recognize good thing
when they see it. The automobile
will be given to the candidate who
has the most votes at the close of
this offer, which will be in about
eight weeks. Votes may be secured
as briefly explained in our advertise
ment in this issue. More details
will be given in next weeks issue.
Nearly everyone knows of the ex-
cellent qualities of the Ford touring
car, and they also know that the Ford
is noted for it's low cost of up-keep
and its small consumption of gaso-
line. By the way. did you ever see a
Ford pass other and more expensive
cars? If you are on the road at all
you have witnessed this phenomenon
a good many times. You can't get
around it; the Ford is the best value
on the automobile make today for
anywhere near the price.
Now, besides the several grand
prizes to be awarded, at the finish of
this campaign we are going to give a
ten per cent. cash commission to
every candidate who makes a cash
report each week during the contest
and who fails to win one of the grand

BIGGEST AUTOMOBILE
TOUR ON RECORD

largest automobile tour on record, num-

Knox and Fred Avery of the Knox
Auto Co. returned to this city Friday,
enthusiastic over an experience both
interesting and unique.
They were members of party of
about 300 men who gathered at South
Bend, Indiana, Tuesday noon, and made
the trip to Detroit in special train.
Each then toured home in his first 1915
Studebaker demonstrating car.
The party was comprised of the Stu
debaker dealers in the territories cen
tering at Chicago, South Bend and In
dianapolis. Many of these men brought
along their entire organizations and the
encourage from Detroit to South Bend,
where the Indiana contingent branched
off for their respective homes, included
in the neighborhood of $50 cars.
1T was magnificent trip and one
that | will never forget" said Mr..
Knox, on his arrival at home. we
were all anxious to get the first pos
sible chance to show the new Stude-
baker cars in our home cities. We also
wanted to try them out in real road
conditions, before starting our cam
paigns. We didn't feel that, in mat
ter of such Importance, we could trust
the doubtful schedule of a railway
freight. We told the Studebaker people
about it and they told US to come on
and get our cars,
''They ran a special train from Chi
cago to Detroit, that stopped for lunch
Tuesday noon at South Bend. During
this stop we had a chance to see the

1t may be that a word from the
west will be interesting to some of
the folks back there, for the outlook
for crops here, and of our trip so far.
We left Lancaster, July 18th at
6 a. m. for Mason City, Iowa, via.
McGregor arrived at Mason City at
6 80 that evening at my sister 8,
Mrs. Joe Montpleasure, and found all
we'll had nice run and no trouble
with our car. All crops are looking
fine but some of the corn was poor on
account of too much rain. Every
thing fine in the city. Stayed there
until the 18th then started for Clari-
on, Iowa, to Thomas Horton s, whose
wife was the daughter of VIM.
Rose, of Lancaster and cousin of
Liant Galley. Arrived there the same
afternoon; visited two small towns
from there; everything fine in that
part of the country. Stayed there
two and one-half days and started
for Kenesaw, Nebraska. We struck
the Lincoln highway that day at
Boone, going west and south to
Omaha; stopped at Carroll that night.
Next morning started for Omaha.
Had some bad roads and more dust
than | ever saw before. Took sup
per in Omaha and drove to Fremont
that night, still following the
Lincoln highway. Fremont is very
nice place and in fine country.
Saw a fine vaudeville there. The
next morning started for Grand Is
land; followed the Lincoln highway,
which parallels the Union Pacific
railroad most all the way to Grand
Island; took supper there then drove
to Hastings and from there to Kene-
saw. Got here at 8 30, found L. A.
Westings out motoring when we
got there, but they returned in about
an hour and were somewhat surprise d
to find US here, as they did not know
we were on the road. They have the
best crops here they have had for
long time. The principal crops are
wheat, corn or alfalfa. Threshing is
in full swing here and wheat is going
from 20 to 80 bushels per acre, and
they are getting Ga cents per bushel.
1t has been pretty dry here for corn,
but got good rain the night we ar
rived here so they are pretty sure of
a crop. Sam has 210O acres of land

WHEN THE INDIANS CAME
TO PRAIRIE DU CHEN
Some Interesting "reminiscences
Concerning the Wild Scenes
CT Long Ago.

lin looking back over the depart
ed years, writes Antoine Grignon,
the old fur-trader, in the annual vol
ume of Proceedings of the Visions in
Historical Society, which, has just
come from the press, q can see
Prairie du Chen as it was when ]
played along its streets as boy.
The strange, wild life of the hunters,
traders, and trappers thrilled me,
and l was often on hand to see the
fleets of canoes from the northIand
with their throng of painted Indians,
or to see the vOyageurs arrive with
their bateaux of furs. Indians came
from far and near to trade at Prairie
du Chen, which was in reality big
post with stores and warehouses be-
longing principally to the American
Fur Company. From the north, the
region along the Minnesota and Chip
pewa rivers, and the upper Missis-
sippi, came the Sioux, Winnebago,
Chippewa, and Menominee. Down
the Wisconsin came bands of Indians
belonging to different tribes. The
Iowa; Sank, and Foxes came from
the river below Prairie du Chen.
The Indians travelled mostly by river
in canoes, but few came on ponies,
afoot, and horseback, from the
interior.
''When the Indians came down or
up the river, they were painted IN
their most gaudy colors, the bucks
using red, yellow and green to dec
crate their faces, while the squaws
used vermillion, and painted round
spot of this color on each cheek and a
streak down the middle of their hair
where it was parted. The canoes
used in these journeys were both the
dugout and the birch bark, and a fleet
usually consisted of dozen or fifteen
boats, but | have seen as many as
forty in one 1otilla.
''These bands of Indians would re-
main week or two to trade at Pral-
RE du Chen and the surrounding
neighbohood. While there they
would feast and dance and enjoy life
that had a tinge of civilization in it.
You could hear the tum-tum beating
all night when dance was in pro-
gress, and mingled with the crude
song and the yell of the dancers, it
made night hideous silence was a
luxury on nights of the Indian
