In general it may be said that most
of the money will be spent in the
improvement of highways already
laid out and in use. Much will be
spent in graveling. This will be on
the main highways of the county.
The bond issue for instance, contem
plates the expenditure of $58,000 in

The Father of Terrur.
“The father of terror” is the nene

stands today even as it has done for
thousands of years, though the enact
date or century of its construction none
can say. It is not only the oldest mon

well. It is carved wholly from a mass
of solid natural rock, with the excep
tion of the forepaws, which are built
up with blocks of stone. It measures
more than a hundred feet in length and
is impressive and awe inspiring be
cause of its stupendous size.
Rattle of the Rattlesnake.
The rattle of the rattlesnake is deve

epidermal spine, which in most snake

The bone on which the root of the rat

The food pledge card which the
women of Minnesota are being asked
to sign this week, and which the meu

prove by giving their support to the
campaign means two great things:

meats, wheat, fats and sugar for the
aid of America's allies, in order that
their courage and fighting power may
be kept at top pitch and thus bring
the war to an early close, saving
thousands of lives of America’s brave
soldiers.
It means ample food for all, rather
than much for Americans and starva
tion for America’s allies, or merely
that Uncle Sam shall be the generous
big brother of his war tried friends in
the present struggle.
It does not mean going without
food or extra work in the prepara
tion of meals.
As an aid to housewives in the
preparation of meatless or wheatless
meals. A. D Wilson, federal food ad
ministrator for Minnesota, is sending

sota, under the direction of Miss

branches of the work of the local
organization.
The affair at the Pokegama hotel
on New Years eve, another Red Cross
benefit, was one of the most brilliant
social events in the history of Grand
Rapids. The entire first floor of the
Pokegama was thrown open to the
entertainment of the people of Grand
Rapids. During the evening several
hundred visited and enjoyed the en
tertainments and amusements offer
ed. In the dining room there was
dancing, round dances and square
dances for young and old. There was
excellent music and the floor was
crowded. In the main lobby cards
were the order of the evening and in
the smoking room cards were again
the entertainment for the men. On
the second floor the parlors were
thrown open to the ladies who de
sired to knit and many were the
comforts completed on the last eve
ning of the old year. At midnight
to usher in the new year in proper
spirit, the crowd joined in singing
the Star Spangled Banner in a way
that has never been sung in Grand
Rapids and from midnight until 1:30
there was more dancing and more
good times. Never since the opening
of the hotel was it the scene of a
more enjoyable social event.
During the evening luncheon was
served by the Red Cross ladies.

DEVELOPMENT
(Continued from Page One)
der way in the county in 1917 than
of any year in its history. This has
been especially true of the Range
towns. It is estimated that not far
from $1,000,000 was expended for
new building construction in 1917.
The largest amount of this work has
been at Nashwauk and Keewatin. At
Grand Rapids the county hospital is
being erected, and in all communi
ties there was more than a normal
amount of construction, despite the
high cost of materials and labor.
C'HE PIONEER STORE has
served the people of Grand Rap
ids for many years and during the
coming year it will be of even great
er service with a complete line of
merchandise.
Your business in the past year
has been appreciated and we wish
to you all the compliments of the
New Year Season.
The Pioneer Stored
I
ARY 2, 1918.
Financially, the county has shown
advancement. There is more stabil
ity to operations of all kinds. The
mining communities which suffer in
times of industrial quiet and wax fat
in times of activity, are more stable
than before, and conditions not only
from standpoint of money on hand
but of credit are thought to be better
than in times past. All the banks in
the county have shown increases in
resources and everywhere there is
a feeling that values have been more
firmly established than in the re
cent years.
Road improvement operations have
not been as heavy during the year as
in 1916. This has been due to a gen
eral shortage of funds. The county
especially, has been restrained, but
despite this fact, a considerable
amount of miscellaneous work was
accomplished and the townships
levied a large amount for local work,
this constituting the chief develop
ment of the year. The general de
velopment of the county has demon
strated the need for more thorough
extensive highway development, and
a definite method of meeting that
need has been evolved.
In social conditions, the year 1917
has seen marked change. There has
been no labor difficulties in the coun
ty within the last year and there ex
ists every where a spirit of co-opera
tion and friendliness. Schools have
been built. JThere has been little or
no political controversy, and for the
first time in the history of the county,
there were several days in which there
were no prisoners at the local jail
and no criminal cases for trial at one
of the terms of the district court.
Laws have been well enforced and
this together with a change in indus
trial conditions has lead to less
crime than in any year in the history
of the county. Itasca county now
more resembles the older communi
ties of the state and where it might
once have been regarded as lawless,
to-day it is guided by law abiding
people and governed by men who de
sire to see the laws enforced and
obeyed.
The village of Grand Rapids has
done well in 1917. Merchants report
a much more satisfactory’ trade than
a year or two years ago. Credits
are also better as -wages are higher.
Activity in construction work at the
hospital and at the paper mill have
given a good source of employment
at good wages. The paving contracts
have been completed and the village
reports municipal improvement in all
lines. The action of the Newport
Mining company in starting explora
tion work at the Grand Rapids min
ing properties west of the village has
also led to a strong belief in the fu
ture of the community, and during
1917, more than in any year here-
John Beckfet

tofore ,the value of farming and agri
culture trade hhs become more ap
parent.
A great change is destined to come
to Itasca county. It has resources,
markets, lands, mineral wealth and
all things which make for industrial
development and agricutural progress.
In all respects 1917 has been the
banner year and if the coming years
will see the same proportion of de
velopment Itasca county will soon
reach its destined state of develop
ment.
