This is a good year aud a good time of the year for Bemidji to consider some measures for im- proving its appearance. C:ncerted action along this line will produce wonderful results ab a comparatively small expense. There are many little things to be done to make Bemidji more beautiful. Naturally one of the most beautiful cities in the coun- try, we have neglected to give There are our public parks, than which no city in the land can boast more beautiful; a little throughout the year would vastly improve them. Thereis the mat- ter of boulevarding the principal streets; most residents are anx- ious to make this improyement and all that is needed is concerted action. There are many un- sightly spots that may easily be made clean if not turned beauti- ful. A civic league might be a good thing, but it is hardly necessary; all that is needed is for some or- ganization, the council, the Busi- ness Men’s club, the ladies’ club, to take the initiative in this mat- ter and the appearance of the city will be improved very mater- ially this spring and summer. Who will be the first? nature much assistance. attention THaE Business Men’s Club and the Library Association are two organizations which deserve hearty support from every resi dent of Bemidji. It is very little in a financial way that either or- ganization demands of the public but this little should be readily The Business Men'’s Club needs principally the attendance of the business men of the city at its meetings while] the Library Association needs you as a member at $1 per year. These are little things but if all do them the result will be some- thing very substantial. forthcoming. MR.

CHARGES OF SHARP PRACTICE ON A MEASURE ARE MADE IN THE SENATE. St. Paul, March 24—The house Thursday refused to pass Sherman S. Smith’s bill to increase the salaries of senators and representatives to $1,000 for the term of two years. The salary paid now is $5 per day and the members are paid about 100 days, including Sundays. Representa- tive Smith’s idea was to make a straight salary and thus cut down the tendency to prolong the session. The bill was first aefeated by a vote of 51 ayes to 56 noes and then recon- sidered and placed bacs on the calen- dar by a vote of 61 to 48. That the members felt their suc- cessors were entitled to a raise was evident, but they seemed reluctant to vote for it. < Saloons must. be closed during the whole of Memorial day, under a bill offered in the house by O. E. Hogue. The law governing this holiday is also further amended to prohibit all kinds of noisy amusements within one- half mile of a Memorial day meeting. Under a bill offered by John Saari of St. Louis county the public ex- aminer Is empowered to inspect the public books of any village, city, township or school district, when he thinks it necessary. For the work he may collect a fee of $200 from cities of the 5,000 class, $300 from those of the 20,000 class, $500. from cities of the 50,000, and $800 from cities over 50,000. May Pay Municipal Officers. Cities of 10,000 population or less, may pay the mayor and councilmen a salary of $100 per annum, under a bill offered by M. J: O’Laughlin. The salary question must first be submit- ted to the voters, however. The house committee on general legislation recommended for passage the Perley bill divorcing the state uni- versity and the state normal schools from the jurisdiction of the state board of control. The Perley bill, as originally drawn, was amended by its author to permit the board of control to have super- vision of new buildings, to care for the insurance and to purchase coal for the educational institutions. A suggestion by S. W. Leavett of the board of control, that his board retain its authority for the prepara- tion of plans for new buildings was accepted by Mr. Perley. Among the house bills passed are: H. ¥. No. 518—Requiring halls and theaters to be furnished with asbestos or other incombustible curtains. No, lan, W. A. H. F. No. 355—To regulate the payment of wages to minors and pre- vent the retention of any part there- of by the employer. Selh. H. F. No. 18.—To establish a branch school of agriculture at Crookston, as a department of the University of Minnesota. Bennett. CHARGES OF SHARP PRACTICE. Senator Morgan Dissatisfied at Action on Training School Bill. Senator Morgan charged in the sen- ate that sharp practice had been used in sending 8. F. 125, providing for the building of a separate training school for girls, to the ‘committee on training .schools. He claimed that, while he was temporarily absent from the senate chamber, the reference was made. He moved that the bill be printed and placed on general orders. Senator Neaseth, chairman of the committee on training school, asked that the committee be accorded a rea- sonable time to consider the bill. Senator Morgan’s motion was lost, 23 to 18. The bill will be reported out next Monday. Senator Horton’s capitol bill, as amended by the house, was passed by the senate by a vote of 39 to 3. The bill, as amended, provides that the supplies for the new capitol building be purchased by the board of control. The commissioner feature is wiped out. The annual appropriation is placed at $60,000. Under a bill submitted by Senator ‘Wilson, the terms of governor and lieutenant governor are made four, instead of two years, and the govern- or is ineligible for a second term. The senate committee on education introduced a bill, the purpose of which is to take the office of county superintendent of schools out of poli- tics. Senator McGill's bill would raise the salaries of the secretary of state and treasurer from $3,500 to $5,000, and the state auditor from $3,600 to $5,000. Giant firecrackers are tabooed by Senator Wilson’s prohibitive measure which passed the senate by a unani- mous vote. Senator Cole’s bill to put the gov- ernor’s private secretary on a straight salary basis without any fees, came up in the senate for passage and pre- cipitated a lively time. Senator Johnson proposed an amendinent that the bill go into ef- fect Jan. 1, 1907, after the term of Governor _Johnson and Secretary Frank A. Day shall have expired, and not Jan. 1, 1906, as provided in the bill. The motion was lost by one vote. The bill went over until Fri- day. ‘William Schaffer, a brakeman was confined used many remsedies,” he says. “Finally I sent to McCaw’s drug store fora bottle of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm, at which time I was unable to use hand or foot, and in one week’s time was able to go to work as happy asa clam.” For S FOR SALEI —BY - d.
