Official County and City Paper SUBSCRIPTION $5 PER YEAR An Urgent Need. Even many of the residents of northern Minnesota do not real- ize the urgent and desperate need for drainage. If we are to realize a tithe of our possibilities we must have at once far more aid from the state for drainage than has been granted thus far. Right here in Beltrami county there are thous- ands of acres lying waste for the want of draining, while commu- nication with fertile sections of the county is almost imposs:ble because of the swamps that must be crossed. The difficulty of communication with Shotley and Ripple is an example. A few days ago when the coroner of Beltrami county was called to Shotley on official business he had to jump‘from hummock to hummock for sixteen milesacross a tamarack swamp and to tramp when his business was done, I the sixteen miles back again Would you go to Ripple when the ground is not frozen, you must walk. Yet these swamps may be easily drained, thousandsofacres made ready for the settler and thriving settlement put in close touch with the rest of the world.

They inter- viewed Gunder Krostue, repre- sentative elect from Polk county, the other day. Gunder said he was for Clapp and that he thought the entire ninth district was. This did not suit the twin city papers, however, and so they made Gunder say that at least five or six of the ninth district legislators were against Clapp. YOUR TRADE SOLICITED A Beautiful Display of Chinaware and Glassware just received at THE FAIR.

They have not published the note as yet. Will they? If they do we can rest assured that they will annocate it with an ingenious piece of “news” calculated to off- set Mr. Krostue’s straightfor- ward declaration. When it comes to politics the twin city papers simply can’t tell the truth, for it is not in them. Must Have Port Arthur. It is imperative to the Japanese that Port Arthur fall within the next few weeks.

All her rebuffs glanced from his cast-iron perseverence, and in the words of the locality, ‘‘he stuck by her like a sore thumb. Mrs. Winum was not lacking in experience and ingenuity, however. his attentions. It was speedily noticed heleft her abundantly, harmless discussion of “no to- bac.” One Sunday afternoon he was filling her cabin with a tar-colored haze of smoking tobacco. “You smoke a great deal, don’t you, Leb?” she gurgled gently. “I should think you would ease up. Smoking is expensive and they say a cannibal will not eat a man who soaks his system in tobacco juice.” . “Well, I have -tried to quit many a time,” returned he, ‘“but it is harder t6 give up my pipe than a back tooth. I feel like a fish out of water when I quit smoking ten minutes.” “Why don’t you try no-tobac or something like that? I under- stand that they take the tobacco hankering right out of a fellow before he knows it.” ““They are poisons—wuss than all the tobaccer in christiandom?”’ he declared empathetically. The widow exclaimed in won- derment: “Is that possible! why, I never knew that they were dangerous—never heard it be- fore. Strange nobody ever told me.”’ > She seemed stranggly dis- turbed. After a few moments of smoke-wrapped thought, she re- sumed confidentially: ““You see, I've haa four husbands that smoked awfully. Itried to cure them by putting stuff in their coffee, unbeknown to them. Everyone of them died suddenly, but I never thought before to- day that the tobaeco cure had anything to do with their going so all-fired soon.”’ As Leb hurried home a few minutes later he acted like a man who was out on bail.
