i REPRESENTATIVE OPSAHL WAS AGTIVE THIS SESSION Continued from First Page the most wonderful spots as well as most historic spots on the continent —the headwaters ofthe ‘Father of Waters—Mississippi.—’ *Besides the $10,000 for the park | road, I secured for my district $20,550 additional for roads and bridges which will be expended under the direction of Senator A. L. Hanson and myself, viz., $7,275 each for Beltrami and Red Lake counties, and $6,000 for Clearwater county, one-half available July 31, 1910 and July 31, 1911. Besides this the district will get between seven and eight thousand dollars from the highway commission funds. “For drainage work we secured $225,000 for the two years; and for immigration and state land| i sales departments $85,000. I did my level best to add $30,000 more to the immigration department’s Iot in this appropriation bill, but failed; but $85,000 is more than the average business man has to boost his business for two years, “One of the principal measures which caused hard work and much work for Mr. Hinds and myself was the sixth normal school, | under the Hinds general bill, against the Cass Lake local bill with its numerous combinations and allies of tonnage tax, house organization, G. N. railway interests, bond bill, judgeship and county seat contest in Red Lake county. “The Cass Lake bill passed the house and senate by a squeeze of barely a majority vote, but was knocked out of the ring, apparantly forever, by the governor’s veto; and it is now up to Bemidji and Thief River Falls to get together on some plan to join handsto secure the school in the future. The place to get together is at home, during the next two years, and not at St. Paul, after the next session opens up. “I introduced and passed in the house, under suspension of rules, H. F. No. 925 and H. F. No. 1181 relating to more up to-date ways of handling state landsand mixed tim- ber in northern Minnesota, for the benefit of settlers and the school funds, but those bills were lost in the shufflein the senate the last night (mainly through the lack of interest of the other senators from northeastern Minnesota, who would rather see their constituents’ welfare suffer than to give me the credit for the relief.) But these will be adopted later. “Of minor bills, I passedin the house the private game and fish bill, H. F. No. 955, giving authority to own privately plants for progating fish and game birds. “Also creating district court ses- on easy terms if desired. « NEW J. BEMIDJI ROYAL P.

IS CHIEF” MINNESOTA sions at Baudette and Spooner, and the curative act for the Bemidji waterworks bonds; and H. F. No. 327, changing scaling of state timber from straight and sound to - ‘Mer- chantable’. (All three timber bills met with silent but strong opposi- tion.) “My bills to add agricultural teaching to the rural, normal and high schools, and teachers course at the University farm schools went to the agricultural conference com- mittee and two points were laid over (the normal and rural school feature) while the high “school feature was adopted and became a law under Senator Putnam’s bill; and the teachers branch and finishing course was made a law at the farm schools— by their graduate certificates being on par with normal school teachers’ certificates, when they pass the proper examinations. “The latter is a very important point in fitting rural teachers so that they will have a tendency to advance and lift up the respect for farm and rural homes, instead of weaning the children away cityward. “The dynamite bill, H. F. No. 620, was attacked by the powder trust in thc senate and smothered, on constitutional points, but the bill created a large interest and friendships for the north amongst southern Minnesota members.” TALKS AT THE INSTITUTE WERE VERY INSTRUCTIVE Continued from First Page “At the present time there are ten millions of acres of land in northern and northeastern Minne- sota that is covered with stumps; land that is good agricultural land in every respect, and which is un- occupied on account of being cov- ered with stumps. This land will probably require on an average of 50 to 100 pounds of dynamite to the acre to clear it; and if the farmers take up the use of dynamite in this work and buy in carload lots, which they may do in co-operation, they can receive dynamite at the same expense as the mining companies, possibly even at a lower price than they are now buying it.” A great deal of credit for the success of the entire meeting is due to W. R. Mackenzie, secretary of the Beltrami County Fair of 1909, A. J. McGuire, superintendent of the Northeastern State Experimental Farm at Grand Rapids, and to W. L. Brooks, president of the Bemidji Commercial Club, for their energetic work in making arrangements with the state officials and the represen- tatives of the DuPont Powder com- pany, and for thoroughly advertising the event among the farmers.

He is one of the oldest assessors in this county and has twice been assessor of the duck.
