Heinzelman, of the Itasca state park, came in last evening from his home and spent today in the city. Mr. Heinzelman is a candidate for the appointment to the office of commissioner of the park, and it is said stands a very good chance of receiving the appoint: ment. The Shevlin Advocate says of Mr. Heinzelman: There is about to be a new commissioner appointed for the Itasca state park. While we have not heard how many or who aspire for the position, we learn that Martin Heinzelman of Itasca has made application. In our opinion Mr. Heinzelman would make an excellent official in that capacity. He was on the topographical survey made by the government and knows every foot of the park, a knowledge that is important for the pro- taction of game on the reserve. \ BEMIDJ1, MINNESOTA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 12, 1906. |HEINZELMAN IS BOOMED ¢ <~Blliall(nll Saturday.

William Hennessy of Blackduck was arrested by the local police last night and lodged in the city jail, on complaint of the Black- He bas successfully conducted a summer hotel for several years. An experienced hotel man is needed at the park house. Mr. Heinzelman has resided in this country for a long time and understands the nature of the trees and how best to preserve the natural beauty of the park. He is a young man full of am- bition and energy and able to give his personal attention to all the work and see that it is done in tho best possible manner and at the Jeast expense. We would at least suggest that such a man be put in charge for we believe rangements in charge, and will provide a banquet, to which the | public generally will be invited. Stumpage Sale.

It has false ribs that extend the loose skin and form its wings. There is also a frog with spreading feet that makes a parachute which enables it to fiit from tree to tree, and a flying lemur that can spread out its whole body like an um- brella and leap and fly a hundred feet at a time, from the top of one tree to another.

DEER RIVER OUT AFTER Village Council Seriously Considering “ Launching a Municipal Enterprise. The village of Deer River is seriously contemplating the es- tabliskment of an electric hght- inglplant, also steam heating and a telephone system, as the follow- ing, taken from the Deer River News will show: Committee appointed by the council to investigate on the electric light proposition will re- port to that body next Tuesday evening. Itis understood that the whole expense of a plant, not exceed $8,275.00 and a four- wire teiephone system in ad- dition can be put in for $1,125. A steam heating apparatus for four blocks and return can be put in for 4,965. A resolution and probably the matter will be submitted to the voters for ap- proval or rejection, Municipal-ownership may be all right, in some instances, but the exparieaces of several north- western towns during the last two yars would indicate that industries gives better seryice to the public. The village of Walker is a case in point. That place was recently forced to abandon part of “the system which was owned by the munici- pality, and mainly through in-' conipetent m»anngement. i ELEGTRIC LIGHT PLANT |asaces so e given s mien oF | i a man nearly dislocates his arm reach- the private management of such| ing for it.

It is said that Charles Wesley was sometimes casily annoyed, and on one occasion at a conference he became so Irritated at the prolix remarks of.a speaker that he said to his brother: “Stop that man’s speaking. Let us i attend to business.” But the offender was relating his re- liglous experience, and, though it was at so great a length, John Wesley evi- dently thought that no one had a right to Interfere with it. He was therefore not including the building, will allowed to continue, but the moment came when Charles could contain him- self no longer. “Unless he stops,” he whispered to John, “I'll leave the conference.” By this time John was enjoying the man’s simple story, and he only turned and whispered to some one ,sitting will be i~troduced Tuesday night| near: “Reach Charlés his hat.” Keep the Armholes Down.

They lift it so that; past oracle, Mrs. C. E. Barrett; The more futilely he grabs and claws and lurches for it the higher they hold it until the wretched victim would have to get on a pair of stilts to find the armhole. The proper way? Why, hold the coat so that the arm- holes are as low down as the man’s waist, taking care to keep the skirt of the garment off the floor, of course. If there is any struggle to find the last armhole, drop It still lower. Never raise it.
