Walker in the same district, has a state sanitarum, for which Mr. McGarry will soon ask a large appropriation; Pine River (Cass county) is after an agricultural }?chuc); and Grand Rapids (in the isagne district) is slso after an | agricu'tural school.” | The membcrs of the visiting dele- | gation were called on for a few re- J. BISIAR, Candidate for Alderman, Third Ward. NORMAL GOMMITTEE GIVEN FINE REGEPTION Continued from First Page arguments which the different towns had to put up; and when| mature judgment of the members was given, the school would finally | be located at Bemidji. Mr. Stewart was very sorry that| the committee could not have found it convenient to come in the summer time and make a thorough investiga- tion. Bemidji would be willing ml put her fate into the hands of any board or committee with the six other towns, and all of them felt that way except one. At this point in the program, it was announced that Mary D. Mec- Fadden. the bright representative of the DuluthNews-Tribune, would sing ~—or she would have sang but for the fact that the porter in the car had mistaken Mary’s music for a Cass Lake map and had thrown it out of the window. Miss McFad- den was compelled to leave for Du- luth, and afterthe writer had suggest- ed the song “So Long, Mary,” the paragrapher and talented correspon- dent retired, amidst the plaudits of the crowd. A double quartette gave a fine selection, the members of the octette being Misses Hanson, Wightman, Alley and Haldeman, Messrs. Cam- pen, Lucas, Jerrard and Thornton. Ike Black gave two humorous stories that convulsed the crowd, both being given, for the most part, in the Scandinavian dialect. As a “Swede” of American proclivities | Mr. Black has few equals in the state, and he was very generously applauded. Mr. McDonald regretted that the lateness of the hour precluded an address on the agricultural possi- bilities of this secton of the state. However for many miles around, with Bemidji as the center, there| were farmers on every farm, where families were being raised and the| population increasing, making more teachers necessary. Weare not ask- ing for teachers in the towns along the many lines of railway tributary to Bemidji, but for all northern Min- nesota. There would not be much necessity for normal graduates in the Indian ‘reservation or forest| reserve at Cass Lake. ) Professor Ritchie, superintendent of the Bemidji city schools, was the next speaker, Mr. Ritchie maintained that Be- midji should have the proposed normal school, because of its geo- graphical location, more easily reached than any other town desiring the school. Bemidji,according to Prof. Ritchie, afforded splendid facilities for a model school, which is the princi- pal adjunct to a normal school. At Cass Lake, said the speaker, there is a big forest reserve, which retards the development of the place, and when the mills are gone and there is nothing to kcep up the town, the state legislature would be asked to go down to Washington and lobby in the interest of break- ing up the reserve, so that proper support could be given the normal, should it belocated at Cass Lake. Mr. Ritchie spoke of the overflow- ing of the shores of Cass Lake as a result of the shutting off of water from the Winnibigoshish govern- ment dam, and when the water again receded the stench from the offal washed up by the overflow was indeed very bad. East of Cass Lake there was only Deer River, Cohasset and Grand Rapids, who would be tributary to that place. If the school was located at Cass Lake, people living along the line of the M.& I. would be compelled togo to Walker or come to Bemidji in order to reach Cass Lake. But few people in the ierri- tory of 200,000 wanted the school located at Cass Lake. “Who are the people looking for the location of the school at Cass Lake? Not ten per cent of the people. The people north of Cass Lake and northwest of there have to come to Bemidji in order to get to Cass Lake. Eleven- twelfths of the people south have to go'to Walker or Bemidji to get to Cass Lake. “Acting as fjurors, we would have you give your earnest con- sideration and go over thoroughly the situation, If you can con- scientiously locate the school at some of the other towns, do so. But 1 believe you should place the school here, in Bemidji.” In conclusion, Mr, Ritchie said: «I would call your attention to the fact that Cass Lake already v.: SPRING, 1909 Advance Styles in Men’s Shirts.

Senator Dar Hall gave a rousing reu'ogy of the ladies and was roundly ! cheered. After the quartette had given a ‘song, the gathering broke ‘up, the visitors going to their car for “forty winks” and more of slumber, all be- ing loud in their praise of the arrangements for their reception and entertainment. Sunday forenoon, promptly at 11 o’clock, teams took the party out for a drive about the city and a wvisit of inspection to “Diamond Point,” the Proposed site of the normal school. The route of the drive was as fol- lows: - From Hote! Markham to First street and Northern Grocery whole- sale plant, M. & I. depot to lake at City dock, up driveway on ice of lake around “Diamond Point,” across base of “Diamond Point” past nor- mal school site to Dewey avenue, Dewey avenue to Twelfth street, thence to Lake Boulevard and on to Sixth srreet, Sixth to Bemidji, Be- midji to Tenth, Tenth to' Beltrami, Beltrami to Fourth, Fourth to Min- nesota, Minnesota to Fourteenth, Fourteenth to Irvin, Irvin to Red Lake depot, past G. N. depot to Min- nesota avenue, Minnesota to Third, Third to Beltrami, Beltramito Hotel Markham. Points of interest during the drive were the Northern Grocery com- pany’s wholesale establishment, three story-brick building, M. & I. depot, (which Cass Lake map places three miles to four east of Bemidji, ) view of Lake Bemidji, normal school site, elegant residences on the Boule- vard, site of $15,000 Carnegie library that will be built in the spring, churches and court house, masonic building, high school building, Andrew’s school building, site for new high and graded school build- ing, Northland Produce company, M., R. L. & M. depot, G. N. depot, business houses and hotels. The committee and other mem- bers of the party boarded their car and left the city on the 3:30 west-bound passenger train for Thief River Falls, amidst smiles and words of thanks to Bemidji and her hos- pitable people. During their stay here all of the members of the visiting delegation, including the ladies, were. given booklets containing a write-up of Bemidiji and handsome views; a val- entine of handsome view.post-cards; and some handsome larger views, and several other souvenirs, each with the name of the possessor placed thereon. . Suggestions that the committee should make their report unanimous for Bemidji were met with smiles and assurances that we would be remembered. “Boy Blue” will be presented at the City Hall two weeks from now by the children of the Be- midji public schools, under the direction of Missés Hanson and Alley.

LIBERIA THREATENED _ WITH DISRUPTION Intervention by United States May Be Necessary. ‘Washington, Feb. 13.—Earnest ef- forts are being made by the adminis- tration to secure the appropriation of $20,000 for the expenses of a commis- sion to go to Liberia to make recom- mendations as to what specific action on the part of the government is de- sirable that will most aptly render effective relief to that republic under the present critical circumstances. The necessity for this already has been set forth in a letter which Pres- ident Roosevelt sent to congress three weeks ago transmitting a re- port on the subject from Secretary Root. Supplemental to this is a com- munication received by Representa- tive Edwin Denby of the foreign af- fairs committee from Assistant Sec- retary of State O’Laughlin presenting additional reasons why the appropria- tion for the commission’s work should be made. The state department is very anx- fous that the appropriation be made promptly in order that the commission may -reach Liberia before the rainy season starts in. The ‘success of Li- beria in self-government would, the letter argues, give hope and,courage, while its failure would bring discour- agement to the entire black race. If action be not taken there is no doubt that Liberia will not be able to main- tain itself much longer and it would seem that the inhabitants ought to have at least another trial, with some direction from men developed in civ- 1lization, before being extinguished as a nationality and placing upon their race the opprobrium of being unfit to govern themselves. ANGLO-JAPANESE ALLIANCE Dinner at Tokin in Celebration of the Event. Tokio, Feb. 1).—At the official resi- dence of Count Komura there occurred the annual dinner celebrating the for- mation of the Anglo-Japanese alliance. There was a brilliant assemblage, in- cluding all the prominent British resi- dents of Tokio, officials of the foreign office and other government depart- ments and Premier Katsura. In his address Count Komura dwelt .particularly on Japanese appreciation of the benefits derived from the alli- ance between’the two countries, Sir WODD PULP ON THE FREE LIST Recommendation of House Investigators. REPORT IS CONSIDERED Members Hold Meeting in Washington to Discuss Various Matters to Be Covered—Said the Committee Fa- vors a Considerable Reduction in the Duty Now Imposed on Cheap Print Paper. ‘Washington, Feb. 13.—With the ap- proach of the special session of con- gress for the consideration of a re- vised tariff activities in regard to the Investigation of wood pulp and print paper are being renewed. The select committee on pulp and paper investi- gation met to discuss the various mat- ters which will enter into their report to the house. It is understood the committee will recommend a considerable reduction in the duty on cheap print paper and probably the removal of the tariff on ground wood, under such conditions as would cecure the free importation of both pulp wood and ground wood pulp from Canada. It is also the de- sire of the committee to forbld any export tax or other charge by Canada ‘upon either pulp wood ground or print paper. The tariff on sulphite, or soda fiber, will not be changed, it is understood. As the ways and means committee, which is preparing the new tariff bill, has gathered considerable evidence and information and as the responsi- bility for the revision of the present schedules will rest with that commit- tee that part of the report of the pulp and print paper committee which re- fers to the tariff will probably be re- ferred to the tariff framers in suffi- cient time to be embodied in the new bill. This information was glven out in an official statement by Representa- tive Mann, chairman of the special committee, and is understood to rep- resent the unanimous opinion of the Republican and Democratic members of the committee. DIVORCE SUITS NEAR END Counsel Make Arguments in Notorious Stirling Cases. Edinburg, Feb. 11'—The Stirling cross suits for divorce entered upon their final stage, counsel addressing the court on behalf of their respective clients. "John Alexander Stirling is suing his wife for a divorce, naming Lord Northland, and Mrs. Stirling, Who was Clara Elizabeth Taylor, an American show girl, before her mar- riage, has entered a cross suit, nam- ing Mrs. Atherton. Mrs. Stirling was not present, but all the other prin- cipals were in attendance. Mrs. Ath- > MRS. MABEL ATHERTON. erton, beautifully dressed, was a prominent figure at her counsel’s ta- ble. Solicitor General Uro, who repre- sents Mrs. Stirling, opened the case by at once associating Mrs. Ather- ton’s name with that of Mr. Stirling and recalling the alleged intimacy of the twain while Mrs. Stirling was in America. Mrs. Atherton flushed slight- ly as the solicitor geperal spoke of her past. “Her record is not unim- peachable,” he said, “her talent for in- trigue is great, her personal attrac- tions are obvious and her virtue is easy.” WIRELESS FROM THE FLEET Battleships in Communication With Atlantic Coast. New York, Feb. 1.\—A wireless message from the tender Yankton, ‘which fs preceding the Atlantic battle- ship fleet now on its way to Hamp- ton Roads after its cruise around the world, was picked up by the wireless station on Fire island. According to the longitude and lati- tude as given by the dispatch ‘from the Yankton the battleships are about 1,080 miles west of Gibraltar, with the Yankton 945 miles ahead. This places the Yankton only 540 miles east of Bermuda and the fleet a little over 2,000 miles from Hampton Roads. The schedule as announced before the departure of the vessels from Gib- rakar said that they would reach Hampton Roads about Feb. 22 or 23, but if their position as indicated by the wireless is correct at the present rate of speed they -should arrive on Feb. 19 or 20.
