There are a good many hun- dred settlers on their way to northern Minnesota this spring. Some of them do not know it yet. They would be surprised were they told that they were on their way porth. But they are. Thous- ands of them. Never was interest country so great as it is at the present time, Everybody knows that these are times when the people of older settled states are looking west and northwest for cheaper lands. Few have thus far looked to Beltrami county, but a good many are beginning to look at last, thanks to the energy and enterprise of a few who have been industriously advertising this sectivn-and showing to the rest of the world some of wonderful resources. What this country needs is to be known. We need to be adver- tised. When the people to the south ot us begin to know of the wonderful farm lands to be found in Beltrami county thiere will be an influx of settlers which will send forward the development of this great region by leaps and bounds. in this its THE initial issue of the Crooks- ton Morning Times made its ap- pearance yesterday and the Times will hereafter publish both a morning and an evening edition.

Why not send Greeley and his print shop both to the legislature? “THE Merger Given Its Death Blow” is working over time in the daily press headliness.

Bruce, chief lum- berman of the bureau of foresty, has returned from a trip to the logging camps of Blakely & Far- ley, north of Northome, where he has had a crew of men from the bureau working on stem analysis. John Bai~d, George Farley and Mark Burns constitue the mem- bers of the crew, and they left on Sunday for the camps of the Standard Lumber Co., near Ball Club, where they will complete the stem analysis on Norway pine. The crews of the bureau whoare workingunder Mr. Bruce,, and constitute seven men, have been ¢hanged from one point to another among the logging camps on the Chippewa reservation, dur- ing the present winter, for the purpose of getting from the dif- feront stands of pine a volnme table to be applied to the timber conditions existing in the differ ent portions of the national for- est reserve, The Camphor Industry. - The annual consumption of camphor throughout the world is about 10,400,000 pounds. Part is used medicinally. In Japan, a certain amount is utilized in the lacquer industry; in China, it is burned to give light or'in funeral ceremonies. But its chief use is in the celluloid industry, because it is the base of this product and of its principal derivatives, and since this industry has been con- siderably developed in the last few years. The island of For- mosa furnishes about half of this product. The consumption of golden grain belt beer is increas- ing more and more as the public realizes that this delightful bever- age is especially suited to home use, at the home board, because of its healthful tonic qualities.

" An Incorrect Report, Dr. Rodwell, physician in charge of the Cass Lake*Indians, says that the report that he had started that the Indians in and about Cass Lake were dying off rapidly from pneumonia, was in- correct. There have been only two deaths of peunmonia, and one of the these was a white employe at the Bena Iddian school. The doctor says, however, that the numerous cases of influenza which are prevalent among the Indians will result in hastening many deaths from cousumption, The Conductor.

Through an unfortunate over- sight mention was omitted in the Pioneer last evening of the re- ception tendered Monday evening to Rev. and Mrs. J. F. McLeod by the people of the Presbyterian church of this city. The day was the anniversary of the birth of Mrs. McLeod and the members of the congregation, under the leadership of the ladies, improved the opportunity to ure their pastor and his wife of their appreciation-of his work here and of their personal good will and affection, The affair was a surprise and as such was most successful. A short program, consisting of sev- eral well rendered numbers, pre- ceeded a short speech by Mr. Trask, who on behalf of the con- gregation presented Mr. and Mrs. McLeod with a purse of $37.50. The reception was held in the church, which was filled, and the occasion was one in which both pastor and people re- newed their resolutions to work for the upbuilding of the church in Bemidji. Mr. McLeod has received two flattering offers recently from churches near San Francisco,but believing that his work in Be- midji is not yet finished has de- cided to remain here. In this decision Bemidji in general will rejoice with the members of his church, Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that Contain Mercury, as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smelland completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous surface.

There is nothing so repulsive looking and disgusting as an old sore, You worry over it till the brain grows weary and work with it until the patienceis exhausted, and the very sightof the old festering, sickly looking Place makes you irritable, despondent and desperate, S A chronic soreis the very best evidence that your blood is in an unhealthy and impoverished condition, that your constitution is breaking down under the effects of some serious disorder. The taking of strong medicines, like mercury or potash, will sometimes so pollute and vitiate the blood and im- pair the general system that the merest scratch or bruise results in obstinate non-healing sores of the most offensive character. Often an inherited taint breaks out iz frightful eating sores upon the limbs or face in old age or middlelife. Whenever a sore refuses to heal the blood is always at fault, and, while antiseptic washes, salves, soaps and powders can do much to keep down the inflammation and cleanse the sore, it will never heal permanently till the blood itself has been purified and the deadly germs and poisons destroyed, and with S. S. S: this canbe accomplished—the polluted blood is purified and invigorated, and when rich,pureblood is again circulating freely throughout the body the flesh around the old sore begins to take on a matural color, the discharge of matter ceases and the place heals over. 8. 8. 8. is both a blood purifier and tonic that puts your blood in order and at the same time tones up the system and builds up the general health, If you have a clironic sore write us, No charge for medical advice.
