OPSAHL'S STRENGTH IS GROWING BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS His Stand for Drainage Has Won Sup- port of Sixty-first District Voters. Next Tuesday the voters of the Sixty-first legislative district will be called upon to elect a repre- sentative, and in presenting the name of J. J. Opsahl for this po- sition the Pioneer believes it is presenting the best fitted man for the position, before the voters, ) Mr. Opsahl is a practical man for northern Minnesota, and the north half of the state is inter- estad in bringing before the state legislature the cause of drainage and good roads. Mr, Opsahl helped in the government survey, has cruised nearly all Beltrami county, he knows the conditions in Clearwater and Red Lake counties and will be an ideal man for the place. Two men make application to build you a home, the one is a skilled mechanic and knows the very best methods for the erec- tion of the building. You would naturally choose the one who un- derstands the business. Two | men are running for the legisla- ture from this district. In Mr. Opsahl you have a man who krows the condition of the land and what is best to do to drain the 2,000,000 acres swamp lands. He has seen these lands, he JENS J. OPSAHL, CANDIDATE FOR LEGISLATURE ! i | | | | | Icould not be done. ‘and ditches today tespeak prac- itical work and the understanding knows the run of the streams, the lake basins, and can speak ntelligently and give good ideas as to the drainage of these lands. In Mr. McCuaig you find, in this instance, the unskilled mechanic. He has not been over these lands, he does not know the condition of the swamps and jungles. If you vote for your own interests, which man will you cast your ballot for? It is easily answered, Mr. Opsahl is the man, 1f the state swamp lands were placed on the market today their minimum price would be $10,000,- 000, which at four per cent would be $400,000 interest to the state. Mr. Opsahl has always been in- terested in the devclopment of the country. but we fail to see in what respect Mr. McCuaig has been interested in this movemeng except it be city or county polities (?) Mr. Opsahl favors a two-cent passenger rate, and if elected will work for the establishment of that rate. He also declares SGHOOL WILL' GELEBRATE G. N. Officials Here. A. L, Craig, passenger traffic FIFTEENTH ANNIVERSARY | manager of the Great Northern International Correspondence Schools of Soranton, Pepn., and Students Plan for :October 16. Students of the International Correspondence Schools in and around Bemidji are much in- terested in the eelebration of the fifteenth anniversary of the schools, which'is to be held in Scrantn, Pennsylvania, Oct. 16, and which it i likely some lccal student will attend, v It has been nearly fifteen years since Thomas J. Foster, then editor of the newspaper in Shenandoah, = Pennsylvania, in- troduced a method of teaching through the mails by means of special home study text books and a system of direction and correction of students work, the objoct of which was to enable the coal miners of Pennsylvania that a railroad pass will not be used by him. He will work for the develop- ment of the agricultural interests of the state, and the encourage- ment of actual settlers. Heis an ardent supporter of Kuoute Nelson and will work for his re-election, believing that Mr. Nelson has been in the ! national senatorial hall so long that he has become a valued ; member of the United States {senaty and is in a position to do a great deal for drainage and for other state interests. Mr. Opsahl has been a large shipper and has been fora good many years interested in freight irates, and on several cccasions !has been instrumental in secur-| ing reduction on wood, hay and graio. In th: year 1893 h y waselected jon the“dramage board while a iresident of Felton, Clay county, and he personally superyised the {construction of forty miles of ditches and twenty miles of road, and a part of this work was done when the contractors claimed it The roads Mr. Opsahl has of drainage and good roads. Remember that in voting for Mr. Opsahl you vote for your own interests.

Although the enterprise was of great interest in mining com- munities, not even the founder then dreamed that his plan was the creatior of a new educational system that was to turn the world into a vast class room, and afford the means by which prac- tical money earning knowledge in almost every line could be carried to the thousands that could not give work or leave home to secured an education. The International Correspond- ence Schools how have . more than two hundred courses of in- struction covering almost every branch, of nearly all the well- known' trades ‘and professions. Upto the pregent time, 85,000 students bave- either completed the courses for which they en- rolled or substantial portions there of; 225,000 other students hive completed the study of mathematical, physical or draw- ing subjacts, The widespread practical re- sults of the work of this great “home - study” university is demonstratzd by the fact that during the last twelve months upwards of 4,000 reports of in- creased salary or advancement in positions have been received from students. The many thousands that have been enabled to change to con- genial or more remunerative oc- cupations, or that have been otherwise benefited by this won- derful system of education, natarally feel a deep sense of gratitude to the man whose genius created and developed the International Correspondence schools, and who is 'still the active head of the work. As a fitting tribute a great celebra- tion has been planned for Oct. 16, 1906, the day on which, fifteen years ago, the first student was enrolled. Hundreds of I. C. S, students and many persons of national prominence - will be in Scranton on that day. The day will be taken up with appropriate exercises and an interesting exhibit of the schools at work preparingand printing home-study text books and correcting the recitations of students sent in from every part of the civiliz~d world. A ban- quet to the gues‘s will be given by the schools in the evening.

MAYO WILL START A NEW DRUGSTORE IN HIS BUILDING Decides to Locate Permanentlyin Be- midji—Was Formerly Promi- nent Druggist Here. A real estate deal involving property in this city valued at $21,000 was consumated yester- day between F. A. Mayo and E. J. Swedback. Mr. Mayo be- comes owner of the Swedback building, where the postoffice is located, and Mr. Swedback takes in exchange, with a further cen- sideration of $11,000, the Mayo building on Third street, where Barker’s drugstore is located. A further outcome of the bargain will be the establish- ment of a third drugstore in Be- midji; as Mr. Mayo has plans perfected for putting in a first- class pharmacy sometime next month in the guarters on the corner of Beltrami avenue and Fourth street, now cccupied by thehardwaredepartmentof the E. H.Winter & Co.department store. The company will move its hard- - ware department into the build- ing now occupied by Roe & Markusen, adjoining the present location on Fourth street, and the latter firm will move into excellent quarters. As they have not yet closed the deal for a new building, they are mnot quite ready to make an an- njuncement. 2 The deal bstween Mr. Mayo and Mr. Swedback has been under consideration for a couple of weeks or more, and final papers were signed Thursday. Speaking of his new purchase, Mr. Mayo explained that his purpose in buying the Swedback building, aside from getting hold of a picce of' property which he believes will rise in value, was to secure a desirable location for a drugstore. He was planning en going into business in the west, but the San Francisco earthquake cured him of the western fever, and he has decided to make a permanent location in Bemidji. Itis his plan to put in the best of fixtures and the highest class stock to be secured, and torun & neat and attractive store. While Mr. Mayo may not be well known to the recent arrivals in Bemidji, to those who have lived here for more than three years he will be remembered as a leading Bemidji druggist.
