The Duluth News-Tribune is mak- ing an especially strong effort to- wards increasing its circulation in this part of the state, and with that end in view has a corps of solicitors “making” important points in north-central Minnesota, and per- sonally interviewing the residents and telling of the many virtues of the News-Tribune as an up-to-date news medium. There is no gainsaying the fact that the Duluth News-Tribune is one of the very strongest “‘boosters” of Northern Minnesota at present in the newspaper field. The paper has always conscientiously brought out the facts concerning our agri-‘ cultural and commercial possibilities, and has fought valiantly for the advancement of this entire section. { Especially is this true of its atti- tude relative to the adapt-ability of this community for a dairying and crop-raising center, and the efforts of the paper have brought aboutl much that was desirable. The people of northern Minnesota, irrespective of exact location, owe a debt of allegiance to the News-Tri- bune, and that our people appreciate this fact is being shown by the liberal subscriptions that are being given to the soliciters for the paper. Tne Duluth News-Tribune is de- serving of every kind consideration at the hands of the people of north- central Minnesota. Next Sunday’s edition of the News- Tribune will contain a full page which will be devoted to Bemidji, with “cuts” of prominent people of the city and a write-up of the city and the surrounding country. This page is given free of charge. Extra copies of this edition may be secured at Colonel Whittle’s news stand, where there will be a generous supply on hand, after the Great Northern west-bound train arrives from Duluth Sunday afternoon. Bound Copies of City Charter for $3. The Pioneer will soon printand bind copies of the Bemidji city charter, bound volumes of which have been greatly desired for some time, and will deliver the books, neatly and substantially bound, to order, for the small sum of $3. A representative of the Pioneer will call on you, or you can call at he office and sign for one or more volumes, at the stated price. Obtaining copies of the charter has been a matter that has worried many people of the city, and how to get them printed has never been taken up. As stated before, the Pioneer is taking orders for bound volumes of the charter and will de- liver them for $3 per copy. Leave your order early if you de- sire a copy.

TAFT WILL EAT RAILROAD WATGHES POSSUMTONIGHT fiuest of Honor at Banquet in Atlanta, CITY’S GREATEST AFFAIR Never Before Have Such Preparations Been Made to Welcome a Visitor to Georgia’s Capital—Mrs. Taft Unable to Attend—Menu Composed Mainly of Southern Dainties — President- Elect to Deliver Address. Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 15.—Never in the history of Atlanta, not even in the halcyon times “before the war,” has the city seen a day like today. From the aristocratic precincts of Peachtree street to the back districts, where the negroes huddle together in their little shanties, the city is astir with excite- ment over the coming here today of President-Elect William H. Taft, who will be the city’s guest for twenty- four hours. The fact that he is a Re- publican and as such at variance with the majority of Atlanta citizens is lost sight of in the universal feeling that today Atlanta has an opportunity of showing that the famous Southern hospitality has not been overrated. Gathered at the railroad station to greet Mr. Taft on his arrival from Augusta were the retiring governor of Georgia, Hoke Smith, and governor- elect, Joseph M. Brown; the mayor of the city, Robert F. Maddox; President Candler of the chamber of commerce, which body will dine Mr. Taft tonight, and a host of other distinguished Southerners. This afternoon will see a continuous- series of receptions for the guest of honor. Only one thing mars the occasion in the opinion of Atlantans. That is the absence of Mrs. Taft, for whom the ladies of At- lanta had planned a warm reception until it was announced with regret by the president-elect that a previous en- gagement with their son at Yale ‘would prevent her coming here. “Possum and Taters” on Menu, The climax of Atlanta’s attentions to Mr. Taft will come tonight at the chamber of commerce banquet. Six hundred and fifty others will sit down to dine with the president-elect on a menu composed mainly of famous Southern delicacies. The piece de re- sistance will be baked opossum, with baked sweet potatoes on the right of him, on the left of him, under him and heaped over him. The possum was included in the bill of fare at Mr. Taft’s request. Mr. Taft is by repute a good trench- erman and has dined on most of the good things that the various sections of the earth have to offer. But he has never tasted, say the famous At- lanta gourmets, anything to equal the twenty-four pound possum—a record breaker for weight, by the way—that will face him tonight. Hundreds of other possums will feed the other guests. Leading up to the “possum and taters” there will be the re- nowned Brunswick stew and to wash the dishes down there will be gallons and gallons of “simmon beer,” a strictly temperance drink brewed from the famous but slightly acid persimmon. If Mr. Taft’s portly form rises from the table with ease tonight when he begins his address Atlanta’s chefs will be in for a bad time. The banquet will be held in the new Armory auditorium, which has been decorated until it appears a bower of fragrant flowers. The committee in charge has spared no expense in mak- ing the banquet the most artistic af- fair ever held in the South. FOR CANADIAN-YANKEE CANAL International Conference on the Sub- Ject Meets in Ottawa Today. Ottawa, Ont., Jan. 16.—The advance- ment of the idea of an international trunk line inland waterway is the purpose of a meeting to be held here today by a deputation of business men from the United States and officials of the Dominion government.

MORE ABOUT LAND CASE Hurls Denunciation and Ridicule at Cabinet Members in Shrill Tones That Reverberated Through Adjcin- ing Corridors—Attributes Attorney General’s Attitude to a Desire to “Bolster Up the President.” Washington, Jan. floor with the avowed intention of ‘“placing bhoth Attorney General Bona- parte and Postmaster General Meyer in the Ananias club” Senator Tillman addressed the senate. He alternated between acrid denunciation of these two members of the president’s cab- et and ridicale, which he hurled at them in shrill tones that reverberated through the senate chamber and at times could be heard in the adjoining corridors. He quoted the portion of Mr. Bonaparte’s statement of last Monday in which the latter said that Tillman had not told him of his de- sire to obtain some of the lands in question and flatly contradicted the head of the department of justice. He declared that he had been entirely frank with Mr. Bonaparte and had fully explained to him his interest in those lands. He attributed the attor- ney general’s attitude to adesire to “bolster up the president.” Postmas- ter ‘General Meyer was brought into the discussion because of a statement made by him regarding the investi- gation of the Dorr case. Mr. Tillman sald that Mr. Meyer's effort to make it appear that the inquiry had been directed originally against Dorr was not based on the truth. He declared that from the first the inquiry had |M becu directed against him (Tillman) and not against Dorr. Mr. Tillman was also careful to bring out the fact that the land which he had attempted to get was not government land at all, but land granted as far back as 1868 nnder the condition that it should be sold at $2.50 per acre. Mr. Tillman closed with a renewal of his demand for an investigation. He'‘said he wWas prepared for any- tmng, even the knife of the nssnssln SHIVELY DEFEATS KERN Democratic Cflucul Nominee for Sen- ator From Indiana. Indianapolis, Jan. 15.—B. F.
