Intered in the postoffice at Bemidji, Minn., 8 second ¢lass matter. Otficial County and City Paper SUBSCRIPTION $5 PER YEAR Conserving the Rainfall. The Pioneer Press by cartoon, communication and editorial flays the proposal of Cass Lake to abolish the forest reserveand de- clares that unless steps are taken to conserve the head waters of the Mississippi the commercial devel opment of the valley of the Mississippi, of which Minnesota is the head and the most interested portion, wil] be irretrievably handicapped. -Is isa well known fact that forests are the great conserva- tors of the rain fall. Cut down the forests and the water, as it falls from the heavens, rushes swiftly to the rivers and on to the sea in floods, while indry seasons the rivers run ata low ebb. The Pioneer Press de- clares that the destruction of the forests of Minnesota has already lowered the level of the Missis- sippi and that were the forest reserve policy abandoned, its level would be so reduced that the great world’s trade which the digging of the Panama Canal sible. It goes further and as- serts that this commerce is pos- sible to us only by an application of the forest reserve policy to far larger districts than that em- braced in the. Chippewa reserve. The matter is one of the high- est importance and if Cass Lake cannot refute the assertions of the Pioneer Press it can hardly hope to be freed from its embar- rassing circle of forest reserve. State Finances. Advance sheets of the report of State Auditor Iverson to the legislature are just out. Consid- erable space is devoted to the discussion of the state finances and toa tabulation of estimated receipts and expenditures for the ensuing three years. With the amendment of the constitution fixing the tax on the gross earn- ings of railroads at four per cent intead of of at three as at pres- ent in force Mr. Iverson esti- mates that the state revenue tax for 1906 and 1907 can be reduced from one mill to one half of one mill. Inorder to do this it will be necessary for the legislature this winter, in the words of Mr, Iverson, to practice “rigid econ- omy’’ and no new fields for ap- propriations must be sought out. The state auditor’s warning is timely. During the past two years the revenue fund of the state has been overdrawn over three hnndred and sixty thous- and dollars and although there is still about that much on hand it will be necessary for the legisla- ture either to confine expenditure strictly to the lines already laid down or to increase the tax rate. Should the railroads resist the increase of one per cent in the tax on their gross earnings it will be necessary to maintain the tax levy for revenue purposes at one mill as at present. THE experimental farm at Crookston, under the manage- ment of Superintendent Hoyer- stad, has beena very practical blessing to the people of north- ern Minnesota and has contri- buted largely to the adyance- ment of scientific agriculture. There is no better place in the state to establish a sub school of agriculture and the efforts of the imour’s Hall. A.T. Wheelock, = = =« « W.President HileBlen, - . w.

They sat in close communion in the kitchen while from the ad- joining bedroom came a strong man’s sullen snore—a snore that wailed low like a child.in agony to soar high like the shriek of a buzz saw. “John” says Emma suddenly, ‘‘you have been coming here to sit up with me three years now: Have you noticed any change in daddy’s snore?” “Can’t say that I have, Em. It don’t scare me like it uster.” “Well, it scares me. I can notice a difference right along. That snore is growing weaker all the time. Itisn’ta healthy snore any more. Dad thinks he isall right, but he can’t fool me. I can tell by his snore that heis failing. It don’t jar the dishes like it uster do.” And the fair girl buried her head in her hands and wept earnestly. “Why, what ails you Em? Don’t cry—-I don’t like to see you cry—you don’t look happy.” “I can’t help it. Maybe dad will quit snoring bymby. Then I-will-be-all-alone. No one will be left to care for me.” “Oh, yes therell be some- body.” “Who, John, who? “Why, everybody! and Ma likes you real well and she will come over and see you every once in a while.”’ “But Il be solonesome, And I can’t run the place alone.” “You don’t have to.”” ¢“Who will help me?”’ “Why, why, I-I think father will look after the farm. He thinks a lot of you.” “] am glad your pa and ma think so much of me, Is there anybody else that feels like them, over your . way?” “Why, why-don’t you know there’s one that makes a whole lot over you—would do anything for you.” I can’t guess who you mean.” “Why-why I mean Jack.” “Your dog?”’ “Of course.” Into Emma’s eyes there leaped a fire that quickly dried all traces of tears. «Johnnie, it is getting late— hadn’t you better run along home to your ma?”’ As he trod the homeward trail, he muttered over and over, “Now, that gets me, What did Em git ‘mad about?”’ 3 “The fool!”’ she hissed as sh threw a shoe at the cat, “he mades me think of nothing but Port Arthur—takes him so long to tumble!”” Be Quick.

Many People Got Left. “The Reading, Pa. News” says: There was nota crowded house at the Academy of Music to see “The Man From Sweden” and in this many of our theatre goers deceived themselves for no more entertaining show has ever drop- ped into our city this season. Howard Brandon, the Swedish American actor, is a whole show in himself, but; he is so ably sup- ported by his company that they all deserve special mention. Mas- ter George, a wonderful child in the character of Little Jim, Carl’s friend, carried his part so well that all were on tip-toe to see him reappear on the stage.
