THE BEMIDJI VOLUME 4. NUMBER 182 M. & 1. ROAD TO BE EXTENDED TO BORDER Backus & Brooks to Complete Line From Big Falls to Interna- tional Falls. NEW SURVEY RUNS THE ROAD THROUGH LITTLE FORK VILLAGE The Backus & Brooks Engineers Are Already at Work on the Survey. There seems every prospect that the M. & I. railway will be extended from Big Falls north to International Falls, within the next six months, The railway company has built a bridge over the Big Fork river at Big Falls, and now it is said by what is believed to be an authoritative source, that the Backus Brooks company will ex- tend the road. In this connection Fork Compass says: Buackus & Brooks are credited with a determination to extend the railroad from here to Inter- national Falls, and a party of en- gineers under Geo. Huss has se cured its headquarters in this village for the winter. They have been over the survey from International Falls and are to make a new survey from Big Falls to Little Fork, so as to strike that village, which the previous survey ignored. It is said that the Little Fork townsite people give Backus & Brooks fifty-one per cent of their holdings in order to secure the railroad. Intervational Falls papers claim that a contract has already been It for the con- struction of the -extension and that work to this end will begin at oace. Later, the Compass says of the further iotentions of the survey- ing crew: the Big George Huss, the engineer in charge of Backus & Brooks con struction work, es:ablished camp on Bear river Saturday, frem which his men will operate in lccating a permanent survey to the Little Fork village, The old M. & I. survey will remain un- changed until Bear creek, six miles east, is reached,whyn a new line will be estaolished further south and easy, going direct to our eastern neighbor. Contractor McPherson was over the pro posed extension last week and is preparing to push tha work of clearing right-of-way. The Sonnet Writers, The fashion of sonnet writing was at its height in the sixteenth century, when Rousard, the French ‘“prince of poets” in his own country and genera- tion, wrote over 900 sonnets, a total which appears only to have been ex- cecded by Gomez de Quevedo, the Bpanish Voltaire, who Is said to have written over 1,000. Fortunately for sonnet lovers some of the best poets have been prolific sonncteers. Petrarch, who created the classic model which later poets imitated, wrote 315. Cam- oens Is responsible for 352, Sir Philip Bidney wrote 108, Spenser 88 and Dante 80. English sonnets were first written by Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503-42) and Henry Howard, carl of Surrez (1317-47), and the first appearance of any in book form was in a rare publi- catlon briefly known as “Tottle’s Mis- cellany,” the full title being “Songs and Sounettes written by the Right Hon- oure Lorde Ilenry Howard, late Earle of Surrey, and other.” The greatest sonneteers of our language are Shake- speare, Milton, Wordsworth and Ros- settl.—London Standard. Tiger and Vulture of the Sea. I the “killer" whale Is “the tiger of the sea,” as the writer of an interest- Ing article In the September Windsor has it, the orcas surely are the vultures of the ocean, In connection with whale catching the author of this interesting natural history article tells of the fol- lowing incident: Some years ago a whaler In the northwest had killed a large whale and had the animal along- wlde when It was attacked by a school wf orcas. They doubtless were half starved and, crazed by the scent of blood that extended away a long dis- tance, probably followed It up like hounds, immediately attacking the whale. The men, with spades and lances, cut and slagshed at them, In- flicting terrible blows, yet despite this the orcas literally tore the whale from the ropes and cacried it off. This cer- tainly shows that the orcas, together’ with a very falr share of Intelligence, are also creatures of extraordinary courage.—Dundee Advertlser, Bemidji Elevator Co., jobbers for Barlow’s Best, also Gold Medal, Mascot and Cremo.

The basketball game to played tonight between the regu- lar firemen’s team and the Pick- Up team, is the first game of the seasop, and promises to be an in- teresting event for lovers of sport. Both teams have been practicing for a month and more, and should be in good shape to put up a clean, fast exhibition. The line-up is as follows: Fire Dept. Positions Plek-Ups H. F. Gell.

The people of Quiring all extend their cor- dial welcome to Mr. Forbes and family. Inns In Hungary. Wayside inns In Hungary generally rejoice In very quaint titles. This one was called the Dropperin and had the usual slgn outside—viz, a long pole with a wooden ring and a gigantic wine bottle suspended from it. The system of keeping the scores is primi- tive, but practical. The regular cus- tomers and the Innkeeper each have a bit of wood called rovas, with the name of the person written on it, and every liter of wine consumed is marked by each making a notch on his re- spective bit of wood. When the score Is pald off, both the rovas are burned. Consequently you hear the peasants in- viting each other to ingyonroviasmo- ra, literally drink on my “knotch stick,” which sounds most comical.— “Wanderings In Hungary.” Cruel. A cashier In the financlal district of New York, on being advised by his physician to take a vacation not long ago, wrote the agent of a South Amer- lcan steampship line as follows: “As I am thinking of taking a trip to South America, please advise me Immediate- ly with particulars relatlve to rates, ac- commodations, and so on, to and from the varlous perts usually visited by tourists at this season of the year.” The answer came by speclal dellvery, marked private and confidential, “One of our steamers will sall for Valparalso next Wednesday; shortest and quick- est way out of the country.” A Test For Seasickness. Many people have a genuine curios- ity to know If they would be sea sick In case they should take an ocean voy- age. An easy way to put the matter to a test is to stand before the ordinary mirror that turns in its frame and let some one move It slowly and slightly at first, gradually growing faster, while you look fixedly at your own reflection. If you feel no effect whatever from it the chances are that you can stand an ordinary sea voyage without any qualm. A Bright Recruit. Lieutenant (examining soldier)—What should you do If you met an encmy on the fleld of battle? Soldier—Shoot him dead, sir. Lieutenant—Right. And what should you do If you met a whole battalion of the enemy? Soldier—Shoot them dead, sir. Lieutenant—You couldn’t by yourself. You should fall back and give warning. What should you do if you met a cow belonging to the enemy? BSoldier—Shoot it dead, sir. Lieutenant—Wrong. Soldier—Fall back and give warning. M. Lieutenant—Wrong again. You should eatch hold of it by the horns and bring It Into camp. Now tell me what you should do if you met me in the field. Soldler—Shoot you dead, sir. Lieutenant—Rubbish! I'm not an en- emy! I wear the same uniform as you do. Soldler—Fall back and give warning. Lieutenant—Wrong, stupld! I'm not a battalion of the enemy.

ATLY | BEMIDJ1, MINNESOTA, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 19, 1006. | LEGISLATURE MAY SEGURE STAR ISLAND FOR A PARK| BEGIN THE WINTER'S WORK | GLAIM OUT IN GALIFORNIA| = State Auditor Iverson Wil Interest Solons in Cass Lake Isle. Beautiful mystericus Star island in Cass Lake, will prob- ably be purchased by the next legislature and be made a state park. Samuel G. Iverson, state audi- tor, is looking into the matter and will probably bring it to the attention of the legislature. The island for years has been a part of the adjacent Indian reserva- tion. It is three-quarters of a mile from the town of Cass Lake. It is three miles long and a mile and a half wide, Itis heavily wooded with pine, not one tree as yet having been cut. The mystery of the island is a beautiful little lake in its center, and hidden from view, till one actually breaks in upon if, by towering timber. The lake is six feet above the level of the waters of Cass Lake. Why this is s, how it 1s possible that this high level can be maintained, is an unsolved problem. The only explanation is that beneath the little lake’s quiet waters there are large and powerful springs, which, winding their way through deep fissures under the bottom of Cass Lake, finally dis- charge within the island. The island is fought shy of by Indians because of this mystery of nature. The Indians have named the island pool “Windigo” or bad spirit lake. From the fact that the Indians never visit the place, tae litt'e lake is full of bass. 3 Through a provision of the +federal law which opeted: part of the Indian reservation for settle- ment, it was agreed that Star Island might be sold to the state, through negotiations between state and federal officials, for such a sum as might be agrged upon, including full payment for the worth of the timber on the island, which alone is an item of Pprobably $150,000. - 2 Butler Wanted the Brief. ‘While E. C. Carrigan was in General B. F. Butler’s law office a lady came In to ask some advice. As the general was not in, Mr. Carrigan questioned her and told her he would submit her case to the general, which he did. The general was to leave the next day for Washington and told Mr, Car- rigan to prepare a brief of the lady’s case and show it to him the next day. Mr, Carrigan gat up half of the night writing his brief. The next morning, about fifteen minutes before Butler was to take his carriage for the train, he told Mr. Carrigan he would look at his brief and give his opinion. Mr. Carrigan began by saying: “Gen- eral, I huve made a most careful study of this case. I have the points all in my head and can state them to you in three minutes.” “Let me have the brief,” again sald the general, somewhat sharply. “But, General Butler,” said Mr. Car- rigan, “I had a brief prepared and in- tended to show it to you, but I have left it at hone on my table. However, as T said, I have all the points of the case in my head.” “Young man,” said the general, “the next time you have a brief to prepare for me bring me the brief ,and leave your head at home on the table.— Boston Herald. Wanted to Know Too Much, There was a series of burglaries com- mitted in the fashionable section of Baltimore. ‘So anxious were the police authoritles to apprehend the culprits that Instructions were issued to the roundsmen to exercise extraordinary vigilance during thelr tours of inspec- tion. On one occasion just after midnight an officer saw emerging noiselessly. from a house In Hutaw place a young man, who" hastily darted down the street. The officer 'made after him as rapidly as possible. When he had stopped the young man he sald: “Dldn’t you come out of the corner house just now ?” The young fellow, though of quite a respectable air, seemed 11l at ease. “I did,” he answered, with some confu- slon. | “Do you live in that house?” sternly demanded the officer. “That's an Impertinent question,” re- plied the young man in a tone of great Indignation. “I don’t see what busl ness of yours it is so long as her father doesn’t ohject.”—S8uccess Magazine.

But sometimes they are too con- fidentlal to please the relatives of the parties. The coercion of prospective brides under such circumstances 18 a proceeding well authenticated in fact and fiction. A kidnaped bridegroom, however, Is unusual, though he hap- pened at St. George's not long ago. He was a gentleman of position, and -he wished to marry a lady who had nursed him through an illness. There 'was no cause or just impediment save soclal rank. The gentleman was de- termined, and the lady seconded his plans admirably. But the day and the detalls leaked out, and before the time fixed the bridegroom’s male relatives deployed strategically through Mad- dox street and surrounded the church. He drove up in a hansom cab. With his eyes fixed on the expectant bride, he prepared to alight. An athletic un- cle and a brother sprang forward, thrust him back, with a “Glad to meet you, old fellow” manner that deceived the cabman, who obeyed the quick &- rection he heard and drove the three away. The lady, with tears In her eyes, went into the vestry. “There will be no wedding,” she said “They’ve run away with him.” Apd that was the last St. George’s heard of them.—London Mail. Forests’ Unnatural Death. The life of nearly all forests Is cut short &y fire or by the hand of the lumberman. When a spruce forest is entirely destroyed by fire young spruces do not at once spring up and cover the burned area. The seed bear- ing cones have been burned, and the spores and seeds of other plants which are readily carried by the wind find their way in first. The task of prepar- Ing for the forest is begun again, but this time it is to be a shorter one. The first year after the fire mosses and often tiny flowering plants appear. These are replaced by the fireweed and other flowers whose seeds are pro- vided with hairs so that they reach such places quickly. These are soon Joined by raspberries, roses and other bushes. Among these the young seed- lings of aspens appear in a very few years. The latter grow rapidly and,in a score of years form a low sunny for- est. An aspen forest makes a brilliant contrast with the dark green forests of spruce.—St. Nicholas. ¥ s The Seeret of the Maple. No thoughtful person who has ever visited a maple grove in the early spring while snow banks are. yet lin- gering in sheltered hollows 'and’ has .een pailful after pailful of sweet sap drawn_from the auger holes in: the shapely trunks can have failed to won- der what forces govern the flow of the sap. When the warm sun touches-the treetops the flow increases.. A rise of a few . degrees in temperature often causes a great increase of flow, if the rise passes the zero point on the cen- tigrade scale—that is, the freezing point of water. But a considerable change of temperature in which the fluctuations do not cross the zero line causes no marked change in the flow of sap:- Dr. K. M. Wiegand, discussing these and other related facts in the American Naturalist, reaches the conclusion that neither expansion of gas in the wood nor expansion of water nor expansion of wood itself is the underlying cause of the pressure which produces the flow, but that this pressure ariSes from the effects of temperature in “altering the osmotic permeability of the pith ray cells. Nothing New Under ‘the Sun. I remember the surprise with which I heard a cornet solo first recorded and then reproduced by a Scott grapho- phone, the construction of which, if I am not mistaken, antedated the birth of Bdison. The record was made upon a sheet of tin foil wrapped around a brass cylinder which was actuated by means of a weight, a train of wheels and a butterfly regulator. In this con- nection—to show the antiquity of the germs of another modern invention— one day when looking through the files of the Journal des Savans I came across the account of a machine which was presented to the Academy of Sci- ences of Paris somewhere around the early years of the eighteenth century. This machine was nothing else but a typewriter; the description was very summary, but I remember that it had individual type bars, the keys of which were made of ivory. It was the work of M. Leroy of Versailles, who was styled Horlogeur du Roy, the reigning king being Louis XIV.—Alfred Sang in anrm Magazine, The First Teacups. Even after tea was introduced into Europe and had come into general use teacups were scarce. At the same time coffee 'was introduced, but apart from Constantinople the first coffee cups in Burope date back only as far as 1645 In ‘Venice, 1659 fn Parls, 1652 in Lon- don and 1094 in Leipsic. From the first, however, the conventional orien- tal coffee cup, without stem or handle, 'was little used, and in Germany not ' at all. The Chinese teacup was used for tea, coffee and chocolate as well, Ispadx‘nom ot porcelain were undoubt- edly introduced into Europe in the mid- dle ages, yet not till the sixteenth cen- ' tury were cups imported from China in any great quantities, and even then it was as articles of vertu.

The City of Munich, Munich is one of the most beautiful cities In Europe, with broad streets, frequent fountains, many stately stat- ues, numerous open squares, large wooded parks, a swift river flowing directly through the center of the residence section, galleries that contain several of the. finest recollections of pletures and scuipture in the world, I braries, academies of design, schools of science, a magaificent ~pera house, a theater that was erected exclusively for the pro.iuction of Wagner's operas, and various other attractious which de not disturb the classic atmosphere, but appeal to the artist, the student ana whoever seeks for beauty and for rest. No city of equal size has so noble monuments and public bulldings. while probably a larger number of the population of Munich is engaged In study and artistic and scientific pur- suits than may be found in any other city. The Royal library is one of the greatest in existence, probably second only to the British museum.—Willlam B.

At the same time even a sense of humor may exist In excess. I, for my part, shouldn't care to have so great a sense of humor as a British soldier I once heard about. This soldier was ordered to be flogged. During the flogging he laughed con- tinually. The lash was laid on all the harder, but under the rain of blows the soldier laughed. “‘What are you laughing at? the sergeant finally asked. “‘Why," the soldier chuckled, T'm the wrong man.'” An Arab Fishing Yarm, A fishing yarn from Algiers: “Some Arabs were fishing from a boat with lines off the coast when a dolphin sev- enteen feet long, eleven feet In circum- ference and welighing four tons swal- lowed one of the baited hooks and dashed off at a tremendous speed. The | fishermen paid out as much line as possible and then made It fast. This brought the dolphin up sharply, but the strain snapped the line, The mon- ster then attacked the boat and cap- sized it, flinging the fishermen into the water. Other Arabs ashore walted till the dolphin was clear of the -mea and then killed It with rifles.” ... The Logical Question.
