C_Sinclaic, Minncapoli] Telling the Truth Pays The simple truth, in black and white, is that when you buy lumber or building material from us, you can throw ail uncertanity to the four winds. Does that sink in? Goods of inferior quality may cost little, but they may not be WORTH anythlng. No matter how little you pay for an article, it is not really cheap unless it will satisfactorily fulfil the purpose for which it is intended. Our lumber and building material is made good enough for the White House, but is sold to those people who want “the best yon've got.” If 'you're that kind of a buyer, we can please you.

The National Farm Land Con- gress will be held in Chicago in November, and united efforts* will be made by the State of Minresota for a 2o6d showing " of the state’s pro- ducts and resources on the occasion of congress. An “advisory” committee has been appointed by the congress, and the member from this congressional district in Congressman Halvor Steenerson of Crookston. Writing to Postmaster Erickson concerning the National Farm Land Congress, Congressman Steenerson, ina recent letter says: “Knowing of your interest in the subject of immigration and the development of our farming country in general, I desire to call your at- tention to the National Farm Land Congress to be held in Chicago November 16, 17, 18,19 and 20th. 1 am anxious that each County in that district should be well rep- resented in the Convention, and I wish you would talk it over with other public spinted citizensin your County and see how many are likely to be willing to serve as delegates. “I call your attention to the en- closed circulars, as well as the statement on the back of this sheet, for an explanation of the purposes of this ‘convention. “In my work, a:\s member of Con- gress, I have been called upon t0 aid in establishing daily rural mail service in the difterent coun- ties, and the principal obstacle that I have met with, is the fact tbat too many sections are so sparsely settled that they cannot supply one hundred patrons to each tweaty-five miles, and I am especially anxious to induce suffi- cient immigration to make rural mail service possible throughout each county in the district. “I am hrmly convinced that few places can offer greater opportun- ity to'home seekers than north- western Minnesota, and that we ought to take a prominent part in this convention, which I believe will have great influence in turn- ing the tide of immigration, “If you will kindly take hold of this in your County I shall appreciate it verv much, and if you think it advisable for me to send letters to individuals, I will do so upon being advised. It might be advisable to call a meeting of citizens to consider this subject atan early date. If you have any one who especially desires to be on the program, or who will contribg;e an ani_‘_;:le‘fot publication, I should like to be advised in order that propelj' arrangements may be made.” , B ' Itis héped that a number of Bel- trami county people may be able to attend the congress and tell the “unbelievers” from other sections of the union as to what this county is capab]e of in the wayof raising agri- cultural products, and how we can care for many more homeseekers.

PARTRIDGES GAN BE SHOT LAWFULLY, TOMORROW Open Season Remains the Same as Last Year, October 1 to De- cember 1. There has been considerable dis- cussion of late as to what is the law regulating the open season for hunting partridges. Some have thought that the last legisla- ture had changed the date for the lawful- hunting of partridges to seven days lafer, as was done with chickens and ducks, making the open season Ociober 7th, The season for the lawful hunt- ing of partridges remains as it was last year, and is as follows: “That any quail, partridge, ruffled grouse or pheasant, other than Mongolian, Chinese, ring- neck or English pheasant, may be killed or had in possession between the first day of October and the first day of December following.” Bad Fire at Mcintosh. The village of McIntosh was vis- ited by fire, Tuesday, which caused aloss of over $100,000 and threat- ened at one time to wipe the entire village from the map. The large two-story brick business block owned by Carpenter & Webs- ter was totally destroyed, causing a loss of $75,000, which was half covered by insurance. The loss of the building is of interest locally, as E. A. Webster, the junior member of the firm of Carpenter & Webster, is a brother of A. E. Webster of this city. E. A. Webster is well known to many Bemidji people, as he has visited here on several occasions with A. E. Webster. Moral: Insure with Miller Insurance agency. the T. J. Is Coming to Bemidji.

Noted Railroad Promoter Who Was Well Known in This Section Is Again ““Daffy.” Humboldt; Sask., Sept., 30.— Farmer Hines, formerly of Hannah, N. D, president of the Farmers’ Railway company, which has a charter for a line between Humboldt and Mei(ort, has gone’violently insane. He has been engaged in laying our townsites north of Humboldt. He is now at a farmer’s house in the Lake Lenore district, and steps are being taken to have him removed to an asylum. It is said a meeting of the direct- ors of the Farmers’ road will be held soon and a new president elected. Mr. Hines is well known in Be- midji baving visited here a number of times in connection with the railroad scheme in which he inter- ested the North Dakota farmers a number of years ago. Hines’ Minnesota ‘“‘Farmers’ Railroad” scheme contemplated a railroad from Drayton, N. D., toj Duluth, and Hines personally made the survey, which caused the G.N. Railway company to “sit up and take notice,” and it is said was the primary reason for the G. N. getting possession of the old Duluth & Winnipeg railway and continuing the road from Deer River westward that now forms the Duluth-Crookston branch of the G. N. that evtends through Bemidji. Hines’ old survev passed south of Pike bay at Cass Lake, and touched Bemidji. Hines became violently insane over religion, about the time that this Duluth scheme was “ripe,” and was confined in the asylum at James- town, N. D. for a year, being after- wards released as “cured.” Of late years he has been in Saskatchewan. Blind Lecturer Coming. At the meeting of the local K. P. lodge last evening, the final ar- rangements were made for the ap- pearence here, on next Tuesday evening, at the Masonic hall, of F, S. Atwood, the famous blind optomist, lecturer and orator, who will deliver his famous lecture on “Happiness.” The following committee was ap- pointed to take charge of Mr. Attwood and arrange finally for the lecture: Dr. €. H. Smith, Charles Daly and A. G. Rutledge. W. R. Hodges, editor of Sleepy Eye Herald and president of the Minnesota Sate Editorial association, says of Mr. Attwood. “Tobe happy is the desire and ambition of every person. How to look on the bright side ot life in the midst of disappointments inci- dent to human life is a virtue not possessed by all. The lecture of F. S. Attwood on ‘Happiness,’ touches the heart and mind of everyone who bears him. It is full of good cheer and coming from a man whose physical eyes are forever shut to the light of day, it cannot fail to be help- ful to us on our journey through life. “I have known Mr. Attwood since September, 1904, as a faithful preacher of the gospel, as a lecturer, asa citizen and friend. He is a man of high intellectual attainments; a speaker and orator of power,and a gentleman of high character. His lecture on ‘Happiness’ should be heard in every town and hamlet in the state.” DISTRICT MEETING 00D FELLOWS FRIDAY NIGHT Grand Officers Will Be Present, and Many Visiting ‘“Three-Linkers” Are Expected. The members of the Bemidii lodge of Odd Fellows are making extensive preparations to care for the “three-linkers” who will gather here on Friday evening of this week, when a district meeting of the Odd Fellows will be held, at which-most important businesswill be transacted. It isexpected that Grand Master Barber of Brainerd and Grand Secretary Bolton of Minneapolis, as well as several other grand officers, will be present and participate in this district meeting. " Several candidates will be initiated at the meeting and it is the intention to- make the meeting one of the very best occasions of the kind ever held in the district. The lodges at Tenstrike, Black- duck and Bagley have already seat word that delegations of Odd Fellows will be present from those towns and it is expected that delegations will be present from several other lodges in north-central Minnesota. The local Odd Fellows will give asupper and a program during the meeting; and they extend a general invitation to all Odd Fellows in porthern Minnesota to come to Be- midji and participate in the meeting. John Graham Improving, John Graham, somewhat “peaked’” and lessened in avoirdupois by an illness which kept him inside for several weeks, appeared on the streets yesterday for the first time since he was compelled to take off his apron and start a catch-as-catch- can wrestle with abscess of the bladder. Mr. Graham’s condition has been anxiously watched by his hosts of local friends, and when he appeared on the streets yesterday he almost had a relapse, so strenuous was the “‘glad hands”" that were spontane- ously thrust his way. Everybody is glad that John is out again, and all hope he will speedly regain his wonted robust- fulness. DEFENSE RESTED IN THE SHINN TRIAL THIS P. M. [Continued from First Page.] checks had been cashed and the money obtained at the First National bank in Bemidji. Mr. Shinn was cross-examined closely by Attorney General Simp- son, as to his illness and how really ill he was, and during the examina- tion, brought out from Mr. Shinn that he did not remember that he had written his signature to the different checks and receipts that bad been shown him;in fact, his memory had been very poor because of the nature of his illness. Witnessess were introduced by the defense to show that Mr. Shinn had been veryill and was not re- sponsible for his acts at that time, At 3 o'clock this afternooun, the defense rested in the Shinn case and it was likely that the arguments would be finished and the case given to the jury before adjournment. Were Popular at Big Falls. The Big Falls correspondent of the Duluth News-Tribune says of some popular ex-residents of Big Falls who have recently moved to Bemidji to make their home: “S. J. Lachapelle and L. J. Kramer, two of the oldest settlers and business men of this place, have,sold out their business interests and moved today to Bemidji, where they have rented the husiness block next to the drug store on Main street.
