KEEP THE PRESSURE UP. — No organization for the common good of the people of this state or of any part of it ever started out under fairer auspices than the Northern Minnesota Development association which was organized at the historic — meeting at Bemidji Feb, 17-18. Every county of the thirty in Northern Minnesota was represented there, and by some of its best, most public-spirited and most aggressive citizens, Earnestness, —— sincerity and purposeful determina. tion showed in every step taken. Realizing that partisan or personal politics was dangerous, it was | guarded against at every turnm, and rigidly kept out of the speeches and the resolutions. The meeting was conducted with resourceful tact, and its every move was wise and judicious. From it spread throughout North- ern Minnesota a new spirit of unison and self-help. It had been made lllremcly bas begun. St. Louis county clear enough that ‘the state at large| could not be depended upon for the Two I n A"o aid Northern Minnesota needs for : : its development; nor is that unnatural or surprising. Very likely if the Tuwus ARE populations of the two sections changed places: the result would be the same. Northern Minnesota -has found that she must do for herself, and that in order to do for herself l_"]‘m“ she must act unitedly. Hence the Bemidji conference and the organi- zation of the Nortbern Minnesota Snowslides Engulf SIXTY PERSONS PERISH tem of county organizntions. To make it effective and to continue the Score of Bodles Recovered and Many Still Missing, work in the spirit in which it was begun, it is necessary that in each one of the thirty counties a vigorous and aggressive county organization be perfected to co-operate with the general organization. The organiza- tion of these county asscciations has one ready made in ‘her county w‘m‘mas WEHE DISHEGAHBEH club. Koochiching and Beltrami counties organized on the ground and immediately called county con- md TimefS Had Faced D;ngel ventions. To give the new associa- ., on Numerous Occasions. tion foundation and substance it is necessary that similar action : be taken in each one of the other counties in Northern Minnesota; and The Herald hasn’t the slightest doubt that that will be done promptly and effectively. Nor is that all. It was made clear at the Bemidji convention that the real reason why Northern Minne- sota has been left to .develop her- self alone is that the apportion- ment of legislative legislation made in 1897, when the state’s population was much less than it is now, leaves the thirty counties of Northern Minnesota with far less than their fair share of representation. There are districts in Southern Minnesota with 10,000 population that have as great a voting power in the state senate as districts in Northern Minnesota with more than 50,000 people. Reapportionment, then, is the first need. The Bemidji con- vention, in most emphatic terms, so declared; and it also demanded that candidates for the legislature from Northern Minunesota pledge them- selves properly upon this subject. That was about all the conven- tion could do along this line; the rest is up to the voters. It is for them to see that their legislative candidates are properly pledged, and that none who fail to make such pledges shall be nominated or elected. The movement for the develop- ment of Northern Minnesota, then, needs not only the vigorous action of its new association, but equally vigorous action from the thirty county organizations, and alert and aggressive action on the part of all the people of this section. Thus, and thus only, can be realized the tremendous potentialities of achieve- ment that the movement contains. —Duluth Herald. | BY THE WAY. | Never hit a2 man when he’s down —sit on him, BSpokans, Wash.,, March 1.—Sixty lives have been lost, it is feared, in two great snowslides which have brought dismay to the mining towns of the rich Coeur d’Alene district in Northern Idaho. A snowslide swept down the mountain, striking the little town of Mace, and burying twenty-five houses and their sleeping occupants in a mass of snow and ice at the bot- tom of the canyon. Some hours later another slide rushed down on the town of Burke, crushing a score of houses under thou- sands of tons of earth and snow. Fourten bodies have been recovered already from the ruins of Mace; six- teen dead have been found at Burke and how many are still buried can only be guessed at. Fifty or sixty dead is regarded as a conservative estimate. There is fear that the number killed at Burke may be even larger than that at Mace. Every man who can be spared from the rescue work at Mace has been ap- pealed to. Doctors were rushed from Wallace on special trains. From the foot of the Anchor mine plant to the Catholic church, about half a mile, the slide is thirty feet deep. Many Escape From Burke. ‘When the: alarm spread through the mining camp of Burke that Mace had been almost-wiped out by a landslide mothers, wives and children of men employed at the Hecla, Ifercules and Anchor mines and caretakers at the old Tiger-Poorman shaft . began to seek places of safety. Families of miners that had responded to appeals from Mace were unable to move and many have been buried in the snow. Mothers hauled their children to the side hills; brothers dragged little sis- ters to places of safety, and when the slide struck many of the homes were deserted by fear stricken women and children, while the bread providers were rescuing injured at the stricken sister town. Old timers in the Coeur d’Alene dis- trict have been sounding daily warn- ings to Mace, Burke and Black Bear that, because of the record depth of HIDDEN DANGERS, Nature Gives Timely Warnings That No Bemidji Citizen Can Afford To Ignore.

Roosevelt Denies Rumor That He Met With Accident. Cairo, March 1.—In reply to mes: sages of inquiry from United States Consul General Iddings Colonel Roose- velt telegraphed as follows regarding business of all kinds. Fearful that councils will refuse to take a hand in the matter the union leaders are crowding strike headquar- ters and making active preparations for the fight. Sunday and Sunday night were marked by scores of riots, which were of serious proportions. It Is estimated by the various hospitals that at least seventy-five persons were treated at the various institutions for wounds from bricks and policemen’s clubs. ‘Two persons were killed by a wild car and several as a direct result of the strike, while two other persons were fatdlly wounded, one boy being shot by a policeman and another having his neck broken by a brick. Dynamite torpedoes, such as are used on railroads, were exploded twice, smashing countless windows. The riots spread to sections of the city -hitherto peaceful and the state and city police had their hands full all day and night. All the riots resulted from stoning snow, slides were fmminent.
