All sections of northern Minnesota should be fully represented at the development and reapportionment convention which will be held in Bemidji Thursday and Friday, Feb- ruary.17-18; and there is no reason why all villages, towns and cities, as well as county organizations, etc., should not participate in the delibera- tions of the convention. No ques- tions are of more import to this part of the state then development and reapportionment; and the discussions will not stop with these subjects. Any matter thatis considered of valué to the north country can be taken up and considered and acted upon as to future attitude of the sec- tions represented at the convention. While we may have some few minor sectional differences between our- selves, everyone should bear in mind that these differences are to be drop- ped and all are going to pull together, unitedly and strongly for northern Minnesota, that she may come into her own, , shingles, and various other l__ industries. mG‘:zar(‘e;inribullnt Point—Lumber prod- BY THE WAY.

Paris, Feb. 1.—With 200,000 persons actually homeless in Paris and subur. ban towns and 300,000 without em- ployment, with hundreds still imper- iled by the flood and acute distress on every hand, the government announced that it “has the situation well in hand.” This' statement means no more than that the crisis from the flood itself has passed and that if everything goes well and none of the threatened dan- gers materialize the city is in a posi- tion to recover from the blow that has fallen on it. The Belne is receding slowly, but only at the rate of half an inch an hour. As the situation slowly improves in Paris the people are coming to a reali- zation that they have hot suffered alone. In the towns and provinces conditions are as deplorable as here. At Bru-sur-Marne, a town of 30,000, it is estimated that 2,000 persons are destitute and suffering. Nearly every city and hamlet along the rivers of Eastern and Southern France are in the same condition. The government will probably as- sume the task of disinfecting Paris, as the work will not be done properly if Jeft to individual persoms. In sev- eral parts of the city the danger of disease is already imminent. Danger Is Still Great. That there is still great danger of further catastrophes in the undermin- ing of the streets and buildings was shown by the collapse of the side- walks of the Rue St. Lazare and Cau- martin. The sidewalks were precipi- tated into the subways. These streets have been added to the large section of the cify that has been raped off and barred to the public.

It may give him an opportunity to go it one better. Minneapolis Journal: Well in- formed politicians, who have been watching the Minnesota situation develop from week to week, are now satisfied that the campaign next fall will see Governor A. O. Eberharts the republican standard-bearer, while his democratic opponent will be either former Governor John Lind or Congressman W. S. Hammond. Commenting on the very efficient work of “AL” H.

THIEF @eneral Booth Says His Aim Is to Save Sinners. London, Feb. 1.—General Booth ot the Salvation Army has shown his Christian humanity by refusing to prosecute a man who recently robbed him of a bag, with contents valued ‘at GENERAL WILLIAM BOOTH. Paris’ biggest rebuilding job wiil be in her many miles of subway that have been almost completely wrecked. It will be several months before the subway connections are re-estab- lished. Every mile of Paris’ underground traffic system will have to be carefully examined by engineers before trains will be permitted to run. Hundreds of those who had been driven from their homes returned in boats and will live for the next few days in the upper floors. Food supplies are delivered to hun- dreds of houses in boats, nearly all the stores having substituted “boat lines” for taeir delivery wagons. Paris Overeun by Thieves. A reign of erime and pillage, insti- gated by thieves and apaches, is sweeping the flood devastated sections of Paris and its suburbs, despite the vigilance of thousands of soldlers and police. The increasing dJepredations have ®o0._enraged the people that they are taking the lav into thefr own hands and are even fighting with the authori- ties who attempt to save the looters from the people’s wrath. At Alordville & hoat containing four apaches was chased by a boatload of marines. © A revolver battle was fought between the two crews, the looters’ boat finally being sunk by the fire of.the marines. I'wo of the rob- ‘bers were drowned, one was captured ““The Bemidji' peoplé know a good thing when it comes in sight and they are not slow about getting after it, either.” and lynched and the fourth escaped. Another boat manned by two pi- rates was captured by a police boat. The lynching of the pirates was nar- rowly averted by the gendarmes. Clerenton is overrun with thieves and the people there are arming them- selves, as the officials have proved impotent to check the lawlessness. $150, during a service at the Crouch End opera house.

Chattanooga, 'fenn., Feb. 1.—~Cap- tain Joseph F. Shipp, ex-sheriff, was greeted here by at Ieast 10,000 of his fellow citizens when he alighted from the train that bere him to his home from Washington, where he had just completed a sentence in prison for contempt af ceurt in connection with the lynching of Ed Johnsom, a negro. Bands'struck up “Dixie” as the train pulled in and instantly the surging threng was in a ‘state of wildest enthu- siasm. Men wept, shouted and laughed almost in the same breath; women be- came frantic. There was imminent danger tor a time of a panic. As Captain Shipp walked slowly down the length of the shed he was greeted by his aged wife, who sobbed quietly upen kis breast for a moment. This greeting over the bands played “Home, Sweet Home,” and again pan- demonium broke forth. Captain Shipp was so moved that he was unable to.speak a word. He raised his hat and bowed right and left as officers opened”a way for him' to the carriage in which he was driven at| once to his home. Ex-Deputy Sheriffs Nick Nolan and Luther Williams returned with their former chief and they, too, received much attention.

I went into the proposition two or three years ago at the ‘solicitation of Mr. Green and have paid out so far about $4,000 in surveying and de- veloping my claim.
