We do not claim to possess all the knowledge of the modern seer, but we do know that the five normal schools of the state were established and located by the act of the legis- lature, and we believe that such a course is the logical one to be pur- sued. The fignt is between Cass Lake and Bemidji—all other towns named are out of the problem. If the legistature shall determine to locate the school in the best and most healthful place, where ®nough | land can be had to allow the scholars toturn around without coming in contact with some disagreeable in- cumbrance, they will locate the school at Cass Lake where twenty Mr. Hartley and his associates have labored diligently to assist the state m its claim for the swamp lands within the reserve, and they have also worked diligently with Mr. Pinchot to get that gentleman to cut off slices of the reserve and open the land to settlement. They hope that if the state normal school is located at Cass Lake that when their mill is shut down they can get theassistance of the state in knocking out the reserve in order that the people may settle about their town and help support the school. As to Cass Lake being SO healthy. If the proposed state normal school is located anywhere near the lake} at that town, thereis bound to be illness and discomfort at times dur- ing the summer, because of the| action of the government reservoir | Blue” at the City Opera House Fri- day evening of this week under the direction of Miss Hanson, who teaches music in the local schools. “Boy Blue” is a very pretty-and successful operetta on which Miss Hanson has been drilling the chil- dren for several weeks until they are well able to take off the cast of characters. The Bemidji High School Glee clubs, both the girls’ and the boys’, will render selections and a double quartet also promises something rare in the way of a musical treat. There is considerable talent in these clubs which has been developed by the} efforts of Miss Hanson. The teachers and pupils of. the local schools are sadly in the need of another piano, as the one which certainly unusual and is well liked by those who have seed it. Miss Leslie also does her share towards pleasing the audience, being decidedly clever in ber repartee and wearing some very pretty gowns. Their act is completed -when Mr. Black gives an imitation of the cele- brated mule whose name was "'Maud." Owing to the exceptionally high- class 4ttractions now being shown, Manager Brinkman announces that he is compelled to raise the price of admission to 10 and 20 cents but he assures the public that ‘the extra attractions are worth the extra admission charges. City Warrents Payab!:e. Noticeis hereby given that there today returned indictments against the Press publishing company of New York; and Joseph Fullitzer, Caleb M. Van Hamm and Robert H.

The local members of the Major Wilkinson Circle, No. 52, helda regular meeting Saturday afternoon at which there were about forty ladies and twenty comrades present, the occasion being a farewell party in honor of Comrade Kerby W. Titus, who will leave in the near future for the Bremmerton Navy ever held in this city, Mayor J. P. Pogue was elected to a third term yesterday with a comfortable major- McCuaig. Of the 950 electors in the City of Bemidji, only 732 polled their votes, which is 90 less than were cast at the city election a year ago. 2 : Earl Geil and George Kirk, respec- tively candidates for city treasurer and alderman-at-large, were without opposition and were elected. In the municipal judgeship was centeted the liveliest contest of the election, there being four candidates.

The spectacle is indeed a pitiable one.

How insincere the people of Cass Lake are in their present attitude favoring a forest reserve is well known by G. E. Marshall, the head of the forest service” at Cass Lake, who has often talked of the matter to the writer hereof, and condemned his neighbors for their efforts to wipe out the reserve. ‘The one aim of G. G. Hartley of Duluth (owner of the townsite of Cass Lake) and the Cass Lake resi- dents has been to break up this reserve of pratically 300,000 acres. Lake they do not attempt to conceal. To people who visit their village they say: ““Too bad that you fellows over at Bemidji haven’t got the ‘pull’ that G. G. Hartley and we have. Don’t make any difference what you do, we’ve got the school cinched.” They take it for granted that the members of the legislature will favor a bunch of peovle (not over 1500) and will not at all listen to the thousands throughout the north half of the state who are protesting against the school being located there. Well, maybe the lawmakers down at St. Paul will do as the Cass Lakers desire. However, there will be a reckoning hereafter for our neighbors—when they will be again crying lustily for help to rid them- selves of the forest reserve and other things which are hindering the growth of the town—and their present insincere attitude will be remembered. ¢ 5 Samaritan Ball.
