When Mr. Welsh was here last week he was very enthusiastic over what he saw at the fair and agreed| to come again and ascertain the desires of our people relative to ad- vertising the resources of this garden spot of the north. J. J. Opsahl has had some corres- pondence relative to a visit to Be- midji by Mr. Welsh and Secretary of State Schmahl. Those two gentle- men will speak at the big fair to be held at Bagley on the 10-11-12th, and it has been suggested that they come to Bemidji and meet with our and Northern | people on Saturdsy evening, October 12th, after speaking at Bagley. Mr. Schmahl has written the fol- lowing letter to Mr. Opsahl, relative to the matter: “STATF. OF MINNESOTA “DEPARTNENT OF STATE. “St. Paul, Oct. 1. “Hon. J. J. Opsahl, Bemidji, Minn. “Dear Mr. Opsahl—I am in receipt of yours of the 29th. I have promised Mr. Welsh, the Commis- sioner of Immigration, that after speaking at Bagley on Oct. 11, that I would place myself at the disposal of you good people of Bemidji and if you wish me to take a ride across the country from Bagley to Bemidji horse, ox, mules or goats I will gladly take regardless of the mode | of conveyance that you propose,and I will also be pleased to meet with the people of Bemidji on the night of the 12th. “I regret very much that I could not be at Bemidji on the 26th, but as I wrote to the secretary of your Agricultural society I had made an engagement six weeks prior to that time for Winnebago. I can say to you that the wreck on the Great Northern at Brookston, detaining me 12 hours, kept me from making the Winnebago date. “Yours truly, “Julius Schmahl, “Secretary of State.” Souvenir envelopes at this office. worth while; we’ll show tional values from $2 50 anywhere else for $5. who like it.

The average band playing a con- cert, confines itself to rendering a program with a few encores, and then leaving the stage. The Kilties, the famous Scotch Canadian band is not satisfied with this, In the first place, the Kilties dress 1n full uniform of the Highlands—brilliant in color and not often seen in this country. In addition to programs consisting of the best music with enough of the popular compositions to lighten the other, there is a splen- did male choir of 16 voices who sing scotch and other ballads as only scotch can sing. Then this year the Kilties have with them the American champion bagpiper, Mr. Angus MacMillan Fraser who plays the pipes as.no man has ever played them. Mr. Fraser is also the cham- pion sword Highland fling and sailor’s hornpipe dancer, and dances at every concert. With all these extra attractions and the giant drum major Mr. Donald MacCormack, the Kilties not only give the audience gathered to hear them a musical treat, but a spectacular one as'well. The Kilties appear in this city on Monday Oct. 7, afternoon and evening, at the Grand Opera House, and will doubtless -find a large audience assembled to listen to them. The band is under. the able leadership of Mr. Albert Cook; Tickets on sale at Barker’s Drug Store. PLEADS FOR THE POOR. Woman's Object in Mutilating Pic- tures in the Louvre.

FAVORS DEEP WATERWAYS President of lllinois Central Wil Speak at Memphis. Chicago, Oct, 4—The management of the Illinois Central road has de- clded to throw its influence in favor of a deep waterway from the Great Lakes to the Gulf. This became ap- parent when J. T. Harahan, president of the road, stated that he would go lo the deep waterways convention to be held in Memphis and would there give an address strongly favoring the project, In the past the ;,Lumal opinion among railway managements has been that waterways injure the rail roads by keeping freight rates down The attitude of the Illinois Central management with respect to the pres- ent deep waterway project is that it will develop the South rapidly and in the development of the South in- creased tonnage will be made for the Ilinois Central and the Yazoo and Mississtppi Valley lines.

Cairo, Ill, Oct. 4—When President Roosevelt stepped ashore here at 9 a. m. he manifested every evidence of having spent a comfortable night on the steamboat Mississippi and his spoken word confirmed the impression made by his appearance. He retired about midnight and there was little to aisturb his rest except two or three demonstrations -on the shore which, though violent while they lasted, were necessarily of brief duration. Quiet as was the after half of the night for the country’s chief mag- istrate the first portion of it was fully- occupled. He was the guest at dinner on the steamer Alton of the Business Men's league of St. Louis and with that entertainment and the speech- making and conversation that followed o’clock was fully taken up. The din- ner was regarded by all as an event of rare occurrence and when the pres- ident had said his final farewell not a few were heard to remark that it would become historic. The important feature was the fact that the scheme of a ship channel from the Gulf to the Great Lakes received an impetus which all believe will do much to- wards insuring the earnest pressing of that enterprise. The occasion was also notable in that in addition to the president it was attended by no fewer than fifteen governors, the members of the inland waterways commission and several representatives of the business worid of St. Louis. The dinner was presided over by President Smith of the Business Men's league and President Roosevelt was the principal speaker. He requested | that his speech be not reported, but consented that the statement might be made that he had announced un- equivocally his endcrsement of the general principle involved in the scheme for the creation of a ship channel up the river and to the Great Lakes. As he stated the case he would have a loop in the Gulf at New Orleans that would practically create an arm of that body of water to the At the same time he Wwas most careful to say that he would not give his assent to any particular scheme of improvement. He also Pointed Out Many Obstacles {in carrying into effect any plan of such vast proporiions and involving so much expense and while promising all the assistance he could give he told his hearers that the only way to make success certain was so thor- oughly to prepare themselves as to render their arguments unanswerable. The speech was grested with pro- longed applause and this endorsement took the shape of words when Govern- ors Folk, Deneen and Blanchard spoke, All of them pledgzed their utmost ef- forts in furtherance of the enterprise. i | While the dinner was in progress the president was presented with an oil Missis- sippi under present conditions and the “‘condi- tions after the completion of the wa- terway" was promised for the future. The Mississippi was escorted down the river from St. Louis all the way to || Cairo by ten other boats and it was met early in the morning by a huge excursion steamer from this city, | which carried not omly several hun- dred passengers of both sexes but rlso a vociferous steam caliope, which for the time monopolized the noise making on the middle stretches of the Father of Waters. party drove to St. Marys park, where B great crowd was assembled.
