Few Empty Houses

1T IS indeed surprising to note
the few empty houses in the
cfty at the present time
Usually at this time of the year
there are a mum Der of empty
houses but this spring hnds al
most every available house in
tie city either occupied or rent
ed by someone who intends &c
occupy the same.
The large number of men en-
played about the city has caused
an increased demand for houses
and all Of the availa BILE empty
houses are now being taken up.
The time has come when
Washburn is in need of more
residences, residences that are
modern, and men of means
would find a very profitable in
come from money invested in
residence property.
Lots, at the present time, can
be bought at q very reasonable
rate. far below their actual
value, but the time is not far
distant when this class of
property will take d jump.
Those who get in on the "ground
floor" will be the ones to reap
the greatest profits.
The city of Washbnrn has
arrived at a period where it has
begun to grow. The excellent
farming country surrounding
the city and the permanent
industries located here which
employ labor has given the city
a substantial footing upon which
to grow and from this time on
the city will begin to forge
ahead.
There are more men employed
about the city at the present
time than for long mber of
years and business is beginning
to take on an activity which is
unusual at this time of the year.

WARREN PIONEER WOMAN
DIES IN DENVER

In a letter to the Sheaf dated April
II, Frank Jerrue, Of Los Angeles,
Calf, states that he had just then re-
ceived a telegram saying that his sis
ter, Mrs. Gilbert, had died on that day
in Denver, Colorado. No further par
ticulars were given. Mrs. Gilbert
was one Of the well known early pi-
oneer women Of this city. She was
very active in church and social work.
Her husband, w. H. Gilbert, as all old
settlers will remember, met with a
very tragic death in the early eighties
when on an exploring expedition to
the then almost unknown part of the
state, northeast from Warren to the
Canadian boundary. In the middle Of
a severe winter, he and two other of
the early settlers, namely Emmett w.
Rossman and Geo. Morris, equipped
with dogs and sleds to carry provi-
sions, left for the Rainy Lake and
Rainy River country The snow was
deep and they experienced great diff
ficulty in making progress and be-
sides they suffered a great deal from
cold and hunger, game not being as
easily obtained as they had figured.
When nearing Red Lake, Mr.. Gilbert
was severely wounded by the acciden-
tai discharge of a gun in the hands of
Mr.. Rossman. With the assistance of
some Indians the injured man was
taken on dog sled across Lake Of
the Woods to Rat Portage, a Canadi-
an town on the north shore of the
lake. Here he received medical at
tention but in spite Of that, lockjaw
set in and he died there. The remains
of deceased and his two living COM
panions arrived afterwards in Warren
by rail via Winnipeg. The sad end
ing Of the expedition cast a deep
gloom over the community at that
time. Mrs. Gilbert lived in Warren a
number of years afterward but in late
years she has lived in North Dakota.
Now she also has passed to the other
shore, thus closing the chapter of a
very prominent Warren family Of the
early days.

Lewis Westman Buys the Kezar Block

Lewis Westman has this week
bought the Kezar block on the east
side, IN which Westman's grocery and
Colson's Bazaar have been conducted
for some years. It seems that w. A.
Knapp started the ball rolling when
he bought the Bank of Warren corner
and the movement will not stop, per-
haps, until all brick store buildings on
that side of the Street have changed
hands. Mr.. Westman secures a val
liable business property at low
price. 1t was purchased from the
heirs in the Riley E. Kezar estate.

BUSINESS BETTER AT BEMIDJI

ReY. S. %. p. White, of Bemidji,
supplied the pulpit in the Presbyter-
ian church on Sunday last owing to
the illness of Rev. David Samson.
Rev. White told the Sheaf that the
business men of Bemidji are very
well satisfied with their town being
dry and would not at all favor going
back to the conditions that existed
when there were saloons. Business is
very much better, as the laboring men
do not now squander their money for
booze, and a new spirit Of thrift and
enterprise seems to have taken hold
of the community.

lVef y. 0flmSCad, one OF the nigh
ly respected citizens of Newfolden
met with an accident Tuesday fore
noon, April 20, that resulted in death
shortly after the horrible catastrophe.
He was engaged in discing on his
farm west of town and it was while
at this work the accident happened,
and as he was working alone, no one
can tell how it happened, but the sup
position is that he was driving the
team attached to the disc and that the
machine struck a rock, pitching Mr..
Grimstad to the ground and directly
in front Of the disc which passed over
him, frightfully cutting him, especial
ly about his head.
Mr.. Vigen who was at work in an
adjoining field saw the team immedi-
ately after the accident and went to
Mr.. Grimstad's assistance. When he
reached the injured man he was MAX
ing an effort to rise, but fell back
wards and became unconscious.
Eihar Johnson who worked near,
called DR.. Johnson who did all that
medical aid could do, but the injured
man was beyond help, and died short
ly after medical help came

in the village Of Warren. Here they
lived for about a year after which
they settled on homestead in Marsh
Grove township. Here they lived
over twenty years and being among
the very first settlers of that vicinity,
they encountered many hardships SO
common to pioneers Of those early
days. In 1905, just as the railroad
was coming thru to Newfolden, Mr..
Grimstad moved there, and conducted
butcher shop until last year, when
he again started farming on a small
farm near town.
He was strong adherent of the
Seventh Day Adventists, and was
