Opsahl | TIDE OF PROSPERITY TURNS JAMES J. HILL SEES INDICATIONS OF A SIGNIFICANT RECES- SION IN BUSINESS. New York, Feb. 22.—James J. Hill, president of the Great Northern Rail- way company, who has returned from St. Paul, expressed the convietion that the tide of prosperity is turning and that there are indications of a sig- nificant re on in business. As Mr. Hill phrased it “the sails of prosperity are being reefed. The year 1908 may be a hard vear and many thousands of men may then be out of work.” “General policies of retrenchment are under way,” Mr. Hill continued. “Less money is to be spent on mew works. The effect of this movement is being felt at present in the falling off of orders. The beginning of this movement is very evident in Chicago. “While T would scarcely call it a re- cession in business it is more of a drawing in. The railroads in general are curtailing their expenses and placis fewer orders. On our lines we will fin the work we have under has introduced a bill appropriat- | ing money for a Normal school' at Bemidji. All the business| men of that town are doing all they can to push the bill through. A committee of business men went down to the capitol to urge the bills passage. If all the other towns, such as Crookston, Thief River Falls and Cass Lake do not make too strong an oppo- sition, it is reasonable that Bol midji should have the school. ! Being that Baudette is quitea] bit to one side, we can hardly ex-! pect anything like that just yet, | and so we feel loyal to the county | seat town.—Rainy River Region | (Baudette.) i | of the Osceola, Centennial and Allouez WE ARE PROGRESSIVE. t Bemidji has every reason to be | Michigan mining laws the Calumet proud of the fact that we have in! our midst local talent that will, compare favorably with any city | in the state, from a musical, standpoint, 1‘ The recital given at the local | Presbyterian church last even- | ing was a demonstration of the fact that Bemidji is advancing rapidly along the lines of high art. The program was a class- ical one, all of the selections (both instrumental and vocal) be- ing very difficult of execution. That this class of music is en-| o' 8nd s joyed was shown by the very: large crowd that was in attend. | ance, despite the fact that there were public attraciions at the same hour elsewhere. Bemidji has a population of 5,000, but last evening’s recital would do credit to acity ten times the size of Bemidji, | majority of the stock of the Centen- way and (hat is all. “This movement toward economy is searcely perceptible, but it should be sufficient to relieve the strain from congested business. In a way it is a good thing. It is better so as the cur- tailment is gradual. Otherwise there might be a sudden slump with seri- ous results, “The first tendency is toward the curtailment of luxuries. Then there will be a falling off in the amount of manufactured articles. This will con- tinue durinz the coming months. But so far as concerns the future the year 1908 may be a hard ome and then many men may be out of employ- ment.” UNDER MICHIGAN LAWS. Calumet and Hecla Secures Control of Other Mines. Boston, Feb. 22—Announcement was made during the day that the Cal- umet a1l Hecla Mining company would lake charge of the management Mining companies. Acting under the and Hecla company has purchased a nial and Allouez companies and has secured practical control of the Osce- ola company, of which 20,000 shares have been formally transferred to the Calumet int s.

Havana, Feb. ‘2—General Loynas del Castillo is out with another state- ment calling for liberty or death. In a statement published in La Lucha he says: “Independence or death is the only issue. Let cowards live without a country. To my last breath I fight for Cuba libre. Hundreds of thousands of Spanish soldiers have been buried for opposing Cuba’s real independence. Millions more of tombs will be opened if necessary. We accepted the sur- render of arms, believing the Amer- icans would give us back our liberty. ““All the above I have said to Secre- tary Bacon. I repeat it now to the protectorists.” General Castlllo has asked for an audience with Governor Magoon, who has granted it. The general says he will then demand the exact date of the elections and the withdrawal of the Americans. STATE LAW IS UPHELD. Minnesota Papers Must Not Publish Details of Executions. St. Paul, Feb. %9.—The supreme court has filed an opinion which in effect upholds the constitutionality of the John L'ay Smith law, which pro- hibits newspapers from printing de- tails of the Oxecytiun of criminals in this state. The case originated from the pub- lishing of the details of the William Williams execution by the daily news- papers of St. Paul. The newspapers were indicted at that time and they interposed a demurrer to the indict- ment attacking the constitutionality of the law and contending that the facts stated were not sufficient to constitute a public offense. The demurrer was overruled by Judge Bunn and the case went to the supreme court on appeal. The de- cision of the supreme court sustains Judge Bunn and the case now reverts to the district court to be tried on its merits. AT OKLAHOMA COKVENTION PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT AND RE- PUBLICAN MEMBERS OF CON- GRESS DENOUNCED. Guthrie, Okla., Feb. 23 —Bitter de- nunciations of the Republican mem- bers of congress and of President Roosevelt were uttered during the d: in the constitutional convention in the discussion of the separate coach prop- osition. Judge Baker declared the same federal blueccated “big stick” hung over the convention that hung over the conventions in the South in the days of the réconstruction. PAY OF POSTAL EMPLOYES.

In committee of the whole, on peints of order, various items were knocked out, but in the house all these were restored. They include the increase of salary of clerks in first and second class offices, all letter carriers, rura and urban, and of mail employes gen- erally $100 a year. On points of order made by Mr. Mann and Mr. Sherley the authoriza- tion in the Lill for the postmaster gen- eral to contract to the extent of $1,- 388,789 for the construction of tube service in the cities of Baltimore, Cin- cinnati, Kansas City, Pittsburg and San Francisco went out, leaving $1,- 250,000 for the maintenance of the present service. GOVERNMENT QUESTIONED. School Dispute Brought Up in Japa- nese Parliament. Tokio, Feb. u. —A written interpel- lation regarding the San Francisco school question was presented to the government by a member of the house of representatives. The reply of For- eign Minister Hayashi is expected in a few days. The Japanese office in San Fran- cisco has cabled a strong appeal to Tokio asking the government to sup- port their cause and pointing out that the restriction of Japanese immigra- tion would eventually result in the extinction of their compatriots resid- ing in San Francisco. The Japanese newspapers have not commented on this appeal up to the present. DECIDE TO PRESS CLAIMS. Indians Seek to Recover More Than $1,000,000. Green Bay, Wis., May %2 -—At a gen- eral tribal council at the Oneida res- ervation a decision was reached to press the claims for moneys, aggregat. ing over $1,000,000, which the Indians say are due them from the govern- ment and the state of New York Dennis Wheelock was corhmissioned to prosecute all claims.
