F. 8. LYCAN, Chairman Executive Committee, of the noble Redman. “John Pamplin is a very prince of jugglers and introduced - several new features that amazed the audi- ence. All his acting is marked by alertness, strength and masterful precision, Either Mr. Pamplin’s or Mr. Bland’s performance is alone worth the admission price. Among other features the unicyclist. Count deRobero, hasa place, as also James Harris, with his hoop rolling. “The show is really good and deserves the patronage of the theatre going public. Miles Won’t Build. C. H. Miles has abandoned his project of rebuilding the Miles hotel at Hibbing, and the Hibbing Tribune says of the matier: "“Geo. A. Markham returned Tues- day evening from St. Paul, where he has been the past three weeks, pre- paring plans with C. H, Miles for the rebuilding of Miles Hotel. The plans called for a one story building at present, 20 feet high, finished in the finest shape. Mr. Miles was willing to spend about $20,000 for such a building, but the lowest bid received for the work was nearly $25,000 and from that up. These bids caused Mr. Miles to give up the thought of building this year; in fact it is understood that he has definitely abandoned all thought of building.” MAHARA'S MINSTRELS ARE BILLED JUNE 18-19-20 The Troupe Carries a Fine Band, and Their Performance Is Highly Recommended. Frank Mahara’s famous operatic minstrels will play a three-nights’ engagement at the Colesium opera house (Thursday, Friday and Satur- day, June 18-19-20) under the aus- pices of the local committee having charge of the Elks’ State convention. The troupe is a good one, and they will undoubtedly draw large audiences. They have a fine band, which will be on the streets every noon and evening while here. The Edmunton Bulletin says of the company: “The minstrel show last night was a successful performance and was greeted by a large house. Good singing of solo, quartet and chorus characterizes the program. John Hill rendered -an old favorite “Asleep in the Deep,” to the delight of everyone. Mr. Hill has a splendid deep, resonant bass voice. Not less popular with the crowd was Edward Frye, in the Zulu travesty, ‘A Dream of Dahomey.” "Leroy Bland deserves special mention in his Indian characteriza- tion of Big Chief and Nola exhibit- ing the truly romantic and passionate Cabbage and tomato plants at the Greenhouse.

Ralph. “‘I hold the contrary. It emphasizes the fact that Minnesota is a well-watered state. It is easier to get water off the land once and for all by ditching than to put water on the land by irrigation ditches, with the continual expense and nuisance of pumping and regulating the flow. Our land, when once drained, is the equal of any, and with state and local drainage operations, we are making new farms every vyear to supply the demand for land and in- crease the wealth of the state. ~ “This is our big year for work, and next season there will be less state work because- we cannot let contracts this fall to be paid out of next years appropriation. We must wait till the legislature makes the appropriation, and cannot let con- tracts till late next spring, which will leave a short season for the work. What . we should haveis a continuous appropriation for drain- age.” Under the newlaw it is only a revolving fund, and comes right back into the treasury as fast as the land is sold.” Famous Specialist Here.

SHOULD PUT THE RUN ON THE GRIPPLED BEGGARS Several No-Good ““Stiffs” Will Probably Try to Do Business Next Week. Itis apparent, judging from the present indications, that a “bunch” of one-armed beggars and general get-the-money fakirs are heading toward Bemidiji, for the purpose of preying upon the generosity of the B.

That fact has so far operated to prevent any open exchanges between the friends of Secretary Cortelyou. and Secretary Taft's managers. But it can now be stated as a fact that in the opinion of his friends the time has -eome when Secretary Cortelyou should be placed in a position to be recog- nized as New York’s candidate for the vice presidency in the event of the elimination of Hughes from the presi- dentlal race. As a necessary step to a successful campaign in that direction there had first to be ascertained the attitude that President Roosevelt and Secre- tary Taft would assume towards Sec- retary Cortelyou’s candidacy.

Therefore Secretary . Cortelyou's advance guard will start for Chicago at once, led by Assistant Secretary Louis Coolidge, a Bostonian of long experience in public: affairs and with wide' acquaintance with the various boom managars now in Chicago.
