April 22, 1926 Weather from the Hill, Olaf Thorvaldsen | Cook County News Herald

The coming week appears likely to run cooler than is usual for late April, with daytime temperatures mostly in the 40s. Expect cloudy skies and a fair amount of wind on several days. Rain should fall through most of next Tuesday. Around the weather tower, the snow has now gone from all but the darkest places in the woods, where winter still stakes a few quiet claims.

In local happenings, the Good Harbor Hill and Rosebush schools are to be closed for the next school year, with pupils transferred to Grand Marais. The eighth grade Americanization play was counted a success, the school auditorium being filled to capacity. Mr. Bean, local forest ranger, addressed the school assembly in observance of National Forest Week.

Navigation returns with the season. The ship sailing from Port Arthur, Fort William, Isle Royale, and Grand Marais are to resume on the 25th, leaving Duluth each Sunday and Wednesday. Residents report the roads in generally good condition. H. D. Jackson expects soon to take his touring car toward East Bearskin, believing he may reach as far as the pines and then continue the remainder on foot, which is sometimes the wisest use of an automobile.

P. J. Bayle has issued notice to settlers to use care in burning brush and, when possible, to do so in the evening hours when the wind is less inclined to carry matters elsewhere. B. A. Rude, city clerk, directed residents of the village to clean their premises from April 26 through May 1. All property will afterward be inspected by the health officer, which gives a man several days to become proud of his yard.

Spring asks work of nearly every hand. Yards must be cleared, roads mended, and fires watched with patience. The frost goes out of the ground, and people seem to thaw with it. Once winter loosens its hold, a town is usually in motion before it has taken notice.
