Bemidji is trying to raise thirty thousand dollars to buy a right of way for the Soo railread through their city. The coming of the road to the city is contingent upon the right of way. Thisis a large sum for a young city like Bemidji to raise, especially when it comes from volunteer sucscriptions but the hustling citizens there are responding very generously and it is probable the amount can be secured. Eight business men started the list with five hundred dollars each and the rest are following with two or three hundred dollar donations. The fact that the city is able to raise this amount or even half the amount and has the thriving business inter- ests which make it possible for the sum to be paid, is evidence that of itself ought to convince the Soo that it needs Bemidji as much if not more than Bemidji needs the Soo.— Loag Prairie Leader. The above is but one of the many good things that have been said of Bemidji since this city be- gan an effort to raise a large sum of money in order to secure the Soo railway for Bemidji. That Bemid] i will always be to the front in the development of this section of Minnesota is being demonstrated every day; and even if the sum re-| quired to secure the Soo necessitated a big “ante” from everyone, no one has been backward, and the Pioneer cannot see how the great independ- ent railway can pass us up. This Soo incident only illustrates what can be done in a community where there is a general pulling to- gether along the same line of effort. CAUSTIC COMMENT. LA. G. Rutledge.] Charity begins at home, and usually ends there. Having a load on his mind should not distress a man, if it isn’t all junk. A college education never hurts anyone, if they are willing to learn something afterwards. Don’t jump at the conclusion that there is no such a thing as luck merely because you never had any- thing else. All the world may not exactly love a lover, but it always takes quite an interest in his letters when they are read to the jury. Wisdom is mostly in looking wise and letting the fools split the kind- ling wood, according to one of the latter-day “golden rules.” PERISH IN PRAIRIE FIRE Mother and Two Children Lose Their Lives ‘in Alberta. Winnipeg, Man, Oct. 4.—Near Stettler, Alberta, the wife of a farmer named Frank Grover, living ten miles southeast of Lee, and their two chil- dren lost their lives in a prairie fire. ‘The mother saw the fire approaching their home and set out to neighbors with the two children, Katherine and Dorothy, aged four and two years, but was overtaken by the fire before reaching there.

Cincinnatf, Oct. : .—*“Cut rate” drug- glsts won &, victory through a decl- sion handed down by Judge Hoff- heimer of the local common pleas court. W. D. Freeman, manufacturer of face powder, sued Rapahel W. Miller, one of his agents, for §21,000 alleged damages. Freeman alleged a contract with Miller by which the latter was bound not to sell any of the Free- man product to any druggist who would sell at less than the retail price specified by the manufacturer. He sold a gquantity of the Freeman pow- der to Miss M. C. Dow, a Cincinnati “cut rate” druggist. Miller demurred to the suit, al- leging the contract with Freeman was in violation of the Valentine anti- trust law. Judge MHoffheimer sus- tained the demurrer, declaring the contract was in restraint of trade, sgainst public policy and a clear vio- lation of the law. CAPTAIN SEALBY I8 NOW STUDYING LAW Republic - Commander Enters Michigan Universitv, Boston, Oct. ‘—Declining to make a national tax on incomes a direct issue in the state campaign the Mas: sachusetts Republican conventlo: edopted a platform and nominated candidates to be voted for in Novem ber next. Governor Eben S. Draper was re nominated by acclamation, as were all the other state officers, a8 follows: Lieutenant governor, Lewis A. Froth ingham; secretary of state, William M Olin; treasurer and receiver general Elmer A. Stevens; attorney general Dana Malone; auditor, Henry E Turner. On the subject of tax on incomes the platform says: “For more than fifty years an in come tax has been collected In this state for local uses. A Republican congress has submitted a conmstitu tional amendment to determine wheth er or not the right to levy an in- come tax, now denied by the federal Constitution, shall be glven to the United States government. The ques tion, therefore, preserted to the peo ple of this state is not the question of the imposition of an income tax but rather of its disposition, or else it is the question of a Double Income Tax. It is a question whether such a tax shall be collected for local uses ot for national uses, or else it is a ques- tion whether one such tax shall be collected for local uses and another for national uses. We belleve. that this question is one that should be decided by the legislature, not as a political issue, but as a practical ques tion.” The platform further commends the policy of conservation of natlonai natural resources; gives “unqualified approval” of the administration of President Taft; expresses belief thal the tariff law passed by the Sixty- first congress “is of more value to the laboring interests of the United States than any measure that has ever been enacted and that it will bring more prosperity and more com fort to more people than were evet before affected by one act of in dustrial legislation regards the permanent tariff commission as prom- ising to afford great assistance in fu- ture consideration of tariff questions and commends the Massachusetts sen- ators for their votes in favor of the ocean mail bill The resolutions as presented by the committee were adopted by unani mous vote.

New York, Oct. .—The Oklahoma law guaranteeing bank depositors has | § been found to work successfully in the instance of the Columbia Bank and Trust company, which failed for more than $3,000,000, according to a dispatch received here from A. M. Young, the Oklahoms bank commis- sfoner. Mr. Young telegraphs: “The Oklahoma banking law is a complete success, even against the persistent opposition of a strong ele- ment of the other class of bankers. We adjust the affairs of an embar- rassed state bank with perfect ease in a very few days and with no pub- lic clamor whatever. Everybody is in good humor and conditions are nor- mal. Other state banks are quiet and gaining in deposit: CAPTAIN SEALBY. has entered the University of Michi- gan as a freshman law student at fifty years of age. The collision, with litigation which has followed to determine the re- sponsibility for it, turned Captain Sealby’s attention to admiralty law and its opportunities.

I They think they are all about alike—that the one ‘ you get used to is the one you like best. ] | That proves they have never used Occident. | The difference shows in the baking. | No matter what kind of flour you are using now ‘ —give Occident a chance to show what it can do. | | | | | | you read it in You'll be nothing out if you don’t like it. Read This Fair Offer: <. o uuunm|n|u|u|u\|llllllm [[ Go to your grocer’s and get a sack of Occi- e, dent Flour. Use as much of it as you please. Before the sack is gone, you will be convinced that Occident is better in every way than any I flour you ever used—gives better and surer results J with bread, biscuit, muffins, pastry—all your baking. g f you are not—then, go back to your grocer. He is authorized to refund without argument the full purchase price of any package of Occident which you do not find satisfactory. There’s a Logical Reason for this Difference You pay a few cents more per sack for Occident. You don’t think much about that when you buy it—but it means everything to the millers. That “‘few cents extra’’ in price enables them to raise the standard of Occident Flour to “‘highest grade in the world’—from wheat to package. Better wheat—better mills—better processes— better millers—more rigid and more frequent tests— even better sacks for protection in shipping and handling. Occident Flour sacks alone cost $25,000 a year more than ordinary flour sacks. Occident Flour is worth the difference in price many times over—the millers prove that before it leaves the mills. You prove it in the results of your baking. A trial sack for next baking day means less work—better baked stuff. ‘Why not call up the grocer now? For Sale at All Grocers. Northern Grocery Co.
