GRAND RAPIDS HERALD-REVIEW
KILEY A ROSSMAN
Entered at Poatoffice, Grand Rapids, Minnesota, as Second Class Mail Matter.
The Herald-Review Circulation Is double that of any other newspaper pub
lished in Itasca county. Ten to Sixteen pages—all printed in Grand Rapids.
Grand Rapids is no place for the pessimist. The man
who complains about business conditions here today isn’t fa
miliar with anywhere else. He is like a man with a headache
complaining when everybody else has the smallpox.
There is no community in Northern Minnesota and con
sequently in the state of Minnesota, which is proportionately
more prosperous and where business is better established and
on a better basis than in Grand Rapids today. We know of no
community if 3,000 pople where all industries are operating,
where there are good prospects for, fair prices on agricultural
products, where new industries are constantly coming in de
spite unfavorable industrial circumstances. A half a hundred
new houses and buildings are being built in Grand Rapids to
day and with all the present activity there is still hope for even
larger construction work in the future.
Grand Rapids is progressing, whether because of us or in
spite of us, we cannot say. Before it lies a future that is most
enticing and assuring. There are so many things to be done
which can be accomplished by the business men of the com
munity to insure even greater prosperity.
Grand Rapids is emerging from a village to a city. Com
plete co-operation of every business element, complete confi
dence in one another and an increasing enthusiasm for the fu
tur of the community will produce wonders in the next few
years to come.
A pickle by itself is rather a humble thing. There is
nothing inspiring about it, though it is a household necessity.
But pickles by the barrel and by the carload become a fac
tor in community existence. We presume that the old time
lumberman who is used to cutting his millions of feet of timber
rather looks down on a pickle, but the fact remains that in the
future, the local land owner will get more out of pickles than
he will get out of logs and it is a genuine welcome that the
community extends to the J. E. Barr Pickling company of St.
Cloud in their establishment of the plant here. People say
that this is the country where clover is a weed. A cucumber
is worse than that. Plant one cucumber seed and you will have
an acre of vines and a carload of vegetables. We know of
no place in Minnesota where a cucumber will grow more hap
pily than on the rich lands of Itasca county and we know of
no one who will be happier to receive a good chunk of money
in the months of July and August than the Itasca county
farmer.
The cucumber when raw and sober may not be in good
repute from the standpoint of digestibility, but when pickled
he is a perfectly respectable citizen and we are glad to wel
come him in huge numbers to Grand Rapids.
It is understood that a movement is on foot which would
ask that the village council appoint for Grand Rapids a sealer
of weights and measures. Many communities have such an
officer. The name implies the duties. He simply weighs or
measures product of all kinds which are bought and sold and
certifies as to weights and measures. His purpose is to pro
tect two parties, the seller and the purchaser.
Grand Rapids as a community is handling much heavy
material. The chief products which the farmer sells are pota
toes or vegetables of large weight. The community is a great
—
consumer of wood and fuel. Every producer and every con
sumer of honest mind and intent is interested in seeing that
he sells or that he buys upon the right basis of weight and
measurement. The village council may do a great service to
the community.
Selling liquor is soon to be an expensive occupation. The
United States supreme court has upheld recent decisions pro
tecting the so-called taxation feature of the liquor enforcement
law. The man who sells liquor is evading taxation and this
taxation is a large item. We believe that to sell a drink may
now cost, including fines, taxation and court expenses, the sum
of something over $2,000. That is a pretty expensive business
for one drink, and from all indications, federal and state au
thorities are to go after the bootlegger in man fashion. Itasca
county people who make licit liquor or handle hootch from
the hip had better beware.

be completed in another month or
less.
Many of the new residences that are
under way are well along toward
completion at the present time. Other
new ones are being started almost
daily, and there is more work for car
penters in Grand Rapids than in any
other town in Northern Minnesota.
COUNTY WILL
(Continued from Page 1)
a petition from residents of Busti-
town asking organization of the town
ship was presented to the board. As
there were some objections, the hear
ing was postponed. On Tuesday a
counter petition was presented, hav
ing almost as many names as the orig
inal petition, and the larger number
of them those of the same people,
asking that the organization be de
nied. On consideration of the second
petition, the matter of organizing the
town was indefinitely postponed.
A letter from Gannon & Strizich,
Hibbing attorneys, was read to the
board. It appears that a quantity of
gravel was removed from land owned
by R. B. Cameron of Bearville and
used upon county roads in that town.
Mr. Cameron claims that he has not
been paid for the gravel, and asks
payment through his attorneys at the
rate of 15 cents a yard. The county
board members feel that 15 cents is
too lar^e a price, especially in view
of the fact that gravel from state
owned pits can be secured for 5 cents
a yard, so are offering to settle on
