S S THE BEMIDJI PUBLIGITY MEETING WAS EXGELLENT Continued from First Page “salt of the earth,” and the most independent man in existance.

There had been great develoment in theeast and the middle east. The same would be true of Beltrami county when the lands were cleared of the timber. The conditions hete were better than in the early days in the west. There is a growing demand from the land hungry for farms, and there is no reason why vacant lands of Minnesota should not be sold at a Welch. ‘“‘However, there are very few that know the conditions that exist here in Beltrami county. Few know that the clearing of the land can be done with profit to the one who takes off the timber.” Mr. Welch stated that the people should lend encouragement to land tillers who are doing everything possible to advance this country. Mr. Welch referred to the strong ad- vertising given Beltrami county in the American Agriculturist, wherein was depicted, on the first page, a in the Mr. Welch advocated stock raising and intimat- led there was a large profit in this industry if properly conducted. Curtis L. Mosher, secretary of the Federation of Commercial Clubs, |addressed those present on the best methods of advertising the resources of Minnesota. Mr. Mosher deplored the fact that he was among 2 bunch of farmers and knew absolutely nothing about |farming. However, he did not | think the farmer was such a down- trodden individual as most people good substantial price,” said Mr. { thought and he did not think the WHERE DO YOU SPEND YOUR EVENINGS?

The farmer gets back most of the money he puts into circulation. Mr. Mosher said he had' discov- ered that many of the stockholders in the Illinois Central Railway were farmers. : Mr. Mosher compared the farmer as being almost a plutocrat as cam- pared with the man who has to elbow his way in the city where high position is difficult to attain. Mr. Mosher advocated the putting forth of every effort to advertise the true conditions of Minnesota. He told of a visitor from Pennsylvania who had been induced to come to north- ern Minnesota to fish and who was very successful in getting a fine lot of bass and pike and who returned to Pennsylvania with a glowing account of the splendid fishing in the North Star State. This was advertising the kind that brings results. Mr. Mosher told of the big sums expended by many of the railroad companies in advertising and demon- strated that in each and every instance the money was well ex- pended and brought large returns. He related one incident of the Rock Island railroad company spending $1,000,000 in one year; and the officers of the company had told Mr. Mosher that the enormous sum was returned in increased businesss brought directly through the medium of the advertising within two years Mr. Mosher referred to the fact that the Sate of Minnesota had do- nated the insignificant sum of $12, 000 to advertise the resources of some 83,000 square miles of lands; which had been given to the new immigration department. Fortun- ately, Mr. Welch, who is in charge of the department, was a man of wonderful resources and he had done remarkably well with the small sum at his command. Mosher gave an interesting speech and among other things stated that advertising had been directly responsible for the rush of land seekers to the Canadian northwest. D. M. Neill of Red Wing, presi- dent of the state Federation of Com- mercial Clubs, was the last speaker on the program. He gave a talk, principally for the benefit of the members of the commercial club. His remarks were punctuated with a whole lot of good sensible sugges- tions. Mr. Neill spoke especiallyon the subject of good roads and his talk was principally in advocacy of better thoroughfares. He hah found many organizations outside the city limits that were interested in good roads: The roads were a better means of communication. .

A whole lot could be saved in mak- ing good roads. In fact, enough money could be saved in this one item to advertise the state far and wide throughout the length and breadth of land. Mr. Neill deplored the fact that farmers were paying more for trans- porting their products than the rail- roads were charging for hauling the said products to sea-board. Mr. Neill gave some good strong remarks on the subject of municipal clean- iness. “Your city must get manufactories within its limits and get the tarm lands populated and under cultivated. You will then make a success of this city. “You have three men in Beltrami county to every 160 acres of land. You should have more. The people of the counties should get together for development and settlement of 'the state, The work of the federa- tion will undoubtedly result in bring- ing many settlers and assisting very materally in getting more men on its broad acres.” Mr. Neill’s speech was very well received and be was given hearty applause. The meeting adjourned, after Mr. Neill’s speech. Last evening was spert informally in the city and the party of speakers left on the early morning train for Bagley, where a meeting was held today. MRS. GHARLES BEGK DIED IN BEMIOJI LAST NIGHT Was l‘i;_ughler of Mr.and Mrs. L. F. Johnson.---Had Been Iil With Tuberculosis. After a lingering illness of over a year with tuberculoses, Mrs. Charles s | Beck died in this city last night at 6:30 o’clock at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. F. Johnson. Although Mrs. Beck had been fail- ing gradually she had been up and around until the past two days, when she grew rapidly worse and the end was but a matter of a few hours. During the past year Mrs. Beck has lived at the home of her parents in this city while her husband has put in most of his time on a claim which he has east of Redby. Despite everything that could be done for her relief, the tuberculoses had fastened itself upon her and a cure of the “‘white plague” was be- yond human skill. While she has gone from the scenes, the conflicts, the sorrows and pleasures of life, she will still live in the hearts of those who knew her best. Her retiring nature led her to hide her best qualities from public gaze, but they were revealed to those who enjoyed her acquaint- ance, yet it was in her home that her true worth was most conspicu- ous. She was a kind, loving wife, mother and daughter and her devo- tion to the family circle had no limit. Mrs. Edna Beck was 21 years'old, being born at the old home of her parents at Princeton. She was married in 1906 to Charles Beck, their marriage being blest by a little son, whoAs but four months old. 5 The\ body will be shipped to Princeton for burial and members of the local Odd Fellows and Elks lodges will act as escort- to _the re- mains wheh taken from the house to the train. Rooms Wanted. All available rooms in the city will be needed for entertaining the Elks June 18-19-20. Any one having rooms to rent for this purpose will kindly notify E.H. Jerrard. To Home Builders.

It appears that McAllister made the Bereman hotel at Houpt his home and was considered a privileged character around the hotel. He came and went as he pleased and had-the free run of the house. On Thursday night, about 11 o’clock, McAllister went out of the house and sat down on the porch. Nothing was thought of this as he had often done the same thing before. Those living in the house retired for the night, supposing McAllister would return to his room and go to bed. Yesterday” morning McAllister was found sitting on the porch with his head in his hands, having died some time during the night. That death was sudden is indicated by the natural pose of the body, Coroner Russell of Grand Rapids viewed the remains and decided that an inquest wag not necessary, death having been caused by ap- poplexy. David McAllister was a member [of the Masonic lodge at Marinette, Mich., and the members of the Be- midji Masonic lodge will have charge of the body and will ship it to Marinette. Mr. McAllister was married and leaves a wife and three children in Marinette, Mich. He was about 45 years old and was well known in Be- midji. Blackduck and other points in northern Minnesota. He was a whole souled man of pleasant dis- position and had a host of friends o mourn his untimely death. Blackduck Eagles Entertained. A pleasant feature of the publi- city meeting held at Blackduck Thursday, and mention of which was overlooked in the Pioneer, was the reception given, at the close of the meeting, at the Eagles’ hall, under the auspices of the Blackduck lodge of Redmen. The Redmen gave a lunch and refreshments and royally enter- tained for an hour, all of which was duly appreciated by the visitors. Planing at Reasonable Prices.
