I — TO AVOID DELAY IN THE DELIVERY OF MAIL MATTER Postmaster Erickson has issued the following statement relative to the delivery of mail matter and how to co-operate with the local office in prompt and correct delivery: To the Public: Post Office, Bemidji, Minn. Deec. 19, 1908. At free-delivery offices, while an effort is being made to supply complete addresses of letters without street and numher, either by use of the directory or examination of other records, they must be subject to inquiry and delivery through the general delivery. A trial delivery of a letter should not be at- tempted by a_ letter carrier unless he is reasonably sure of delivering it. Much annoyance and unnecessary delayin the delivery of mail matter, at this office is caused by the failure of patrons in not having their mail addressed properly. 1f mail matter should be delivered by carrier, always have it addressed to street and number, and when for delivery through box give the writer your box number. Itis thought that by following these instructions, it will prove satistactory to both the public and the service. ANTON R. ERICKSON, Postmaster. Toys for the tots!

ADOPTED RESOLUTIONS ANENT PARK MANAGEMENT Park Rapids Commercial Club Would Dispute Statements Made By E. R. Dampier of Akeley. The Park Rapids Commercial Club has adopted the following resolutions in answer to the article which recently appeared in the Pio- peer, wherein E. R. Dampier of Akeley, county attorney of Hubbard county, attached the policy being pursued by the State Forestry Board in the management of the Itasca state park: * Statements which grossly mis- represent the sentiment of the resi- dents of Hubbard county, and which do injustice to the students and faculty of the forestry school at Itasca State-Park, and to the forestry board, having been published in the Bemidji Pioneer of Dec. 11, signed by attorney F. R. Dampier of Akeley. “Therefore, be it resolved, That we, the members of the Park Rapids Commercial club, and residents and business men of Park Rapids in mass meeting assembled, do hereby repudate the statements and senti- ment expressed in said article: “That we indorse the work of the forestry school and plans for its development, so far as they have come to our knowledge, and urge our representatives in the legisla- ture to use every honorable means in advancing the interests of the Itasca Park forestry school, so far as they do not conflict with the pur- poses for which Itasca State Park was established. Mr. Dampier has evidently “stirred up the animals” by writing the communication referred to above, and which was published in the Pioneer. Mr. Dampier will probably have more to say on the subject, and will undoubtedly be able to explain his stand relative to the conduct of affairs at the park. However, it is noticable that the forestry board has appropriated funds to repair Douglas lodge at the park, and to otherwise improve the place in a manner thatis highly de- sirable. For Sale, Cheap.

DIED OF BROKEN HEART MISTOOK MAN FOR DEER Charles Wingren, Who Shot His Com- panion, While Hunting, Grieved Over Unfortunate Affair. The following telegram from St. Paul tells of the sad ending of a regretable accident in the history of bunting in northern Minnesota, wherein the carelessness of a home- steader resulted in the death of a neighbor and close friend. “St. Paul, Dec. 20.—The state board of control yesterday received news of the death at his home in Koochiching county of Charles Win- gren, a paroled prisoner. He died suddenly of heart disease. The board thinks it was due more to his troubles than anything else. “Wingren while hunting last March killed a2 man, mistaking him for a deer and was arrested under the law which designates such errors 4 o as manslaughter. It was plainly an accident and though friends tried to induce him to make a fight for his liberty he insisted on pleading guilty and was accordingly sentenced to the reformatory. “Wingren was at once released on parole and was sent back to his family. His health failed rapidly, however, and it is said that he died of a broken heart. He has a wife and seven children. At the time Wingren killed his companion, Judge C. W. Stanton was county attorney of Koochiching county, and that gentleman appeared before the pardon board the same day that Wingren was sentenced by Judge McClenahan. Judge Stanton secured an order from the board whereby Wingren was placed on parole and allowed to return to his home and resume the labor of sup- porting his family. The death of Wingren is a sad termination of the shooting incident. Wingren was exonerated by his companion, be- fore the latter died. WANTS Too Late ta Classify.
