Official County and City Paper SUBSCRIPTION $5 PER YEAR Tue the primary law in county shows one respect in which the law should be amend- ed. Thetime prescribed by the law for sending out of the bal- lots is too short before the elec- tion and as a result of this fea ture of the law, several precinct: in this county failed to receive their ballots in time tohold an election. The time for mailing ballots and election supplies to precincts beyond the 15 mile limit is set by the law at one week before election day. As it so happens the mail leaves War- road for several points such as Zipple, LeClair and others but once a week and the day for its leaving is the same day as that set by the lav’ for the mailing of the ballots from the auditor’s office. By reason of this fact the election supplies for these precinets did not leave Warroad until election day and were re- ceived several days The matter is a particularly seri- ous one in this instance as the vote for several offices was close and a fullvote from the missing recent experience with Beltrami too late. precincts might easily have changed the result. EveErY now and then some one bobs up with a cock sure opinion of the worthless- ness of farming lands in this vicinity. This is nothing new. Only about one out of every ten that saw this country ten years ago thought differently—and their cock-sure opinions cost the other one a fortune. $100 Reward, $100. The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in allits stages, and that is catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity Catarrh be- ing a constitutional disease, re- quires a constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken in- ternally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dol- lars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for listof testimon- ials. Address F. J.

Duncalf: “Those who visited my farm two miles south of the city the past summer have been surprised at the quality and amount of grain and vegetables they have seen there. Those who say that Beltrami county land cannot raise anything but jack pine should take a trip out there some day and the illusion would be quickly dispelled. I would not trade my farm of 320 acres for the best section of land in the Red River valley.”’ J. A. Ludington: “The city council is heartily in favor of the railway and I speak for every member in saying that we will do all in our power to secure the terminus for Bemidji. From present indications it seems that the road will be built.” Confessions of a Priest. Rev. Jno. S. Cox, of Wake, Ark,, writes, “For 12 years I suffered from yellow jaundice. 1 consulted a number of physicians and tried all sorts of medicines, but got no relief. Then I began the use of Electric Bitters and feel that I am now cured of a di- sease that had me in its grasp for twelve years.” If you want reliable mediclne for ‘liver and kidney trouble, stomach disorder or general debility, get Electri tters. teed.

VO T N P T g Mg R g g g g O TEAS THAT ARE Twelve Hundred Kinds Are In China’s Show at the World’s Fair---The Most Populous Nation of the World For~ the First Time Makes an Exhibit Worthy of Her Greatness. Many expositions of stupendous char- acter make up the World’s Fair of 1904. Tach part is a vast and distinet show. Each building shelters many acres of wonderful things—wonderful because they ave the choicest of their kind. Every nation on the globe is represented. Every state and territory is here with its best and making the most of its greatest opportunity. The fact that China has not been a large exhibitor at world’'s fairs gives to her great exhibit here a prominence quite exceptional. a wonderland of ingenious productions. We know China best by reason of her extensive exports of teas, which have found a vast market in the United States for generations. Her commercial interests therefore prompted her to make a dis- play of teas that we should not for- get. In sealed glass jars China displays in the Liberal Arts Palace some 1,200 kinds of tea. Young Hyson and Old Hyson have a string of tea relations longer than the genealogical chain of a Plymouth Rock. They are neatly se- lected “chops,” in the language of the tea farmer, and these classes do not embrace medicinal teas, which are quite another lot in the rather modest number of 400. The teas exhibited vary in price from a few cents a pound to some rare and exclusive kinds that are worth their weight in gold, the tea in the latter cases being placed on one side of the scales and pure gold on the other— that is to say, the tea of this expensive kind is worth about $20 gold an ounce. Only a very small quantity of this ex- clusive leaf is exhibited, and it is grown in carefully guarded tea planta- tions or gardens right under the shad- ows of the great wall of China. Its cul- tivation is prohibited for any use save for the imperial family of China and a few of the favored high officials. Mention has been made of the word ‘“chop” in connection with tea, and it may be interesting to the everyday reader to know what the word actually signifies. The tea leaf is grown in va- rious districts of the Chinese empire on = NORTH ENTRANCE PALACE OF MINES AND METALLURGY, WORLD'S FAIK. large areas of ground which are often mistaken for single plantations. This is hardly ever the case, as the large tracts are very often owned by hun- dreds of different men, whose individ- ual plots of ground bearing the tea plants are carefully mapped out, so that each individual owner may culti- vate and pick his own crop of tea. Each owner likewise markets his own tea and puts his own special mark, or “chop,” on the packages. Hence the term “chop” signifies an individual growth or picking of tea by one owner. In an area of tea land of, say, a thou- sands acres, all apparently under one ownership, there may be some forty, fifty or more owners of the plantation and consequently a like number of “chops” of tea. It must not be imagined that all these different owners of the tea get the same price for their commodity—far from it, as each of these individual tea growers has his own secrets for im- proving the quality and flavor of tea. Take, for instance, the Amoy and Fu- chau districts, whence most of the tea for the United States comes, The own- ers of ‘““chops” of tea varying from 10 to 200 chests of 56 pounds each bring samples of their goods to the various foreign merchants for sale. These lat- ter turn the Chinese tea grewers over to the good offices of the foreign or American: professi tea taster, ‘who e WORTH FORTUNES; the quality, flavor, twang and manner of curing, fixing a price accordingly, from which there is never any varia- tion and which the tea grower must ac- cept or go elsewhere to dispose of his wares. In a single tract of tea land like the one cited above the price has ranged from 14 cents, the lowest, to 4814 cents, the highest, per pound among sixty-one different tea produ- cers. A matter of great mement that also figures in the price of tea is that very often tea from the same dis- trict will bhave the various “chops” blended together in order to produce special flavors.
