Cass Lake, June 2.—The annual graduation exercises of the Cass Lake high school were held at the Unique theatre last night and the theatre was packed to suffocation with people eager to witness the exercises, There were only three graduates this year, it being the smallest class in the history of the school with the exception of the first. Mable Dugas, Gladys Wagner and William Fink were the three graduates. The high school chorus and sextette rendered some very pleasant musical selections, Judge L. M. Lange, president of the school board presented the graduates with their diplomas and addressed them in a very touching manner. The judge referred to their class motto, “Row- ing, Not Drifting,” in impressive words, He called to their mind the fact that their battle of life was just beginning and in closing bade them God speed and his best wishes for their future success. BEMIDJI MEN INSPEC ONTARIO GOLD GLAIMS J. 0. Harris and Fred Rhoda Hold Options on Two Claims Owned By ’Gene Martin. Cold, real gold, was seen in its natural state and in paying quanti- ties by J. O. Harris and Fred Rhoda, respectively register of deeds and clerk of court of Beltrami county, who returned a few days ago from Gold Rock, Ontario. They investigated two claims of Eugene Martin, brother of the former janitor of the local court house. Mr. Harris and Mr. Rhoda went to Winnipeg, then 250 miles east over the C. P. R. to Wabigoon, thence 25 miles across a lake of the same name and portaged six miles to the town of Gold Rock. Here they prospected Martin’s two claims, on which they hold op- tions, and found that they contained the same ledge of ore on which three other mines are being worked néar- by and the men in these other mines clainr that they have taken between four and five hundred-thousand dollars in gold already from the three mines, one of which is oper- ated by a company incorporated - at $12,000,000. Messers. Harris and Rhoda saw the rock blasted from the mine and have samples of the same ore at the court house. They returned with $2,500 in gold dust which they bought at the mine. It is not known whether they will form a company to operate the two claims or not. A MODERN ALEXANDER New Conquer of the Circus World. To be built within four short years a circus of such magnitude as the Great Dode Fisk Shows is an achievement - never before accomplished by any other one man and to Mr. Fisk is due the greatest credit for this success, which was obtained only through a careful study of the wants of a circus loving public. When Mr. Dode Fisk entered the circus world four years ago he realized that his success was to be obtained only by treating the public fairly, and giving it the very best features in this class of attractions. Each year since then Mr. Fisk has added to-the show and especially keeping up to the excellent standard he set himself to attain, until to-day the Great Dode Fisk Shows are as large as, and a rival of, the older circuses. R No doubt the greatest factor in making a success of this most successful of circuses is the fact that at all times it has been en- tirely ‘clean, free from objection- able features and absolutely with- out a graft or catch-penny game of any description whatever until now the Great Dode Fisk Shows has a reputation. of being the cleanest show on earth. June seventh is the day set aside for the great gala event| when the Great Dode Fisk Shows will exhibit here. GLAUSEN BUYS MARKET.

" CONGRESS IS MARKED ; BY GRIM DETERMINATION Bemidji’s delegates to the North- ern Minnesota Development associa- tion meeting at Crookston were escorted to the train yesterday after- noon by the Bemidji band. Many of the autos owned in this city were Jined up in front of the depot to welcome the train with its crowd of boosters, and the Pioneer distributed 1,000 hat cards containing the in- scription “‘Bemidji Boosters, On to Crookston.” President House, of Duluth & Iron Range railroad, accompanied by Gill Hartley and other promi- nent Duluth men, occupied the president’s private car. A special car containing 18 members from the Duluth Commercial club and another car which was occupied by 18 members of the Hibbing Com- mercial club were added to the train.

Crookston, June 2—The great development congress opened in Crookston last night the “Queen City” fully prepared for the large number of delegates from the 31 counties in this associafion. The decorations were beautiful, the politicians scarce anb nothing occured to mar the beauty of the opening night. The smoker was held in the Crookston Club rooms and the hall was packed, as were also the adjoin- ing rooms. The Crookston quar- tette, J. E. O’'Brien, W. B. Krouse, J. A. Wessel and C, R. Hitchcock, the quartette which won such great fame in Bemidji during the Elks’ convention two years ago opened the program. Al. H. Jester, Bemidji’s delegate and candidate for the republican nomination for state senator from his district, told his famous telephone story which eli- cited great applause and required that he “tell another” equally ‘good. The Viking Chorus and more songs from the famous quartette, “‘Curb- stone Quartette,” it was dubbed, concluded the musical features. L. W. Bills of Park Rapids and-Col. J. H. Davidson of the St. Paul Com- mercial club, addressed the men. The real business of the conven- tion was taken up at 10 o’clock this morning in the city hall with Presi: dent H. J.

Members Are After Reapportionment with a Spirit to Get It.---Dunn Points Out Danger.---Methods for Securing Intelligent Publicity Shown by L. state legislature, owing to a general law passed at the last session pro- posing a constitutional amendment, was pointed out by R. C. Dunn of Princeton in his address at Crooks- ton today. The amendment, if adopted, said Mr. Dunn, would fur-’ nish an excuse for failing to appor- tion anew the senators and repre- sentatives. The speaker quoted 'Section 23, Article 4 of the constitution as it has been since 1857, “At their first ses- sion after each enumeration so made, and also at the first: Session after each enumeration so ‘made by the authority of the United: States, the legislature shall have . the- power’ to prescribe the bounds' of congres- sional, senatorial and’ !eprese'nntivc districts, and to appottion anew the senators and representatives among the several districts agcording to the provisions of Section second of this article.” The Section 2 referred to reads, ““The representation in both houses shall be apportioned equally through- out the different sections of the state, in proportion to the population there- of, exclusive of Indians not taxable under the provisions of law.” When these two sections are con. .strued jointly it is evident that the constitution makers intended plainly ‘that there should be reapportion- ment after each- state and United. States census, declared “the speaker, and while Section 23 reads as if it were directory, taken in conjunc: tion with Section 2, it is really mandatory. Chapter 509 of the -General Laws or Minnesota for 1909, which pro- poses an amendment to Section 23, Article 4 of the constitution reads, in part, “At any session after any enumeration of the inhabitants of this state made pursuant to law and also at any sessien after each enum- eration, made by the authority of the United Stafes, the legislature shall have the power to prescribe the bounds of - congressional, senatorial and representative districts,. or any of the same, and to apportion anew the senators: and representatives among the several districts accord- ing to,the proyisions of Section’2 of this artitle.”” The speaker pointed out that the introduction of the word “any” for “their first” would give the legisla- ture a constitutional right to reappor- tion, which it already possesses, and would - remove all obligation to re- apportion the districts at the first session after each state or United States census. And this law passed the last legislature with only two dissenting senators and no objecting representative, explained the speaker. “I unhesitatinngly assert that the proposed amendment to Section 23 Article 4 of the constitution should be rejected by the voters at the polls on the eighth day of next November,” said Mr. Dunn. Especially in Northern Mivunesota there should not be a vote recorded in favor of the abortive legislative —_ TELEGRAPH NEWS.

Itwas| CLASS TO RECEIVE DIPLOMAS indeed an active “bunch.” Right in the on set they commenced active work | to secure the development meeting for Brainerd. If Brainerd does not land the convention it will be no fault of its representatives. No other city has as yet com- menced to solicit the convention and it is very probable that Brainerd will meet with little if any opposi- tion. Brainerd should have the meeting. It is deserving for its active work in the “get together” meetings. It is believed that the entire delega- tion from the 30 counties will fall in line and unanimously vote this meeting for the Crow Wing county seat. The next meeting will be even more important than the first two because it is the last meeting before the legislature convenes. It is at Brainerd that the finishing touches must be put on to assure re-apportionment. Geographically Brainerd is most convenient for the 30 northern coun- ties as well as a good representation from St. Paul and” Minneapolis and other southern lacalities. Let us all unite on this for our next get to'gethel'meeting. SPORTING NOTES GOTGH EASILY BEATS IBYSZKO, THE POLE Directors of Religious Meetings Give Shool Use of Armory—Eighth Grade at Hall. monstrosity which was conceived in sin aund born in iniquity. “Send men to the next legis- lature who will insist upon justice being done Northern Minnesota and every other section of the state, I belive there will be enough fair minded men from southern and central Minnesota in the next legislature who will cooperate with the northern members and render the enactment of a fair apportion- ment law possible. If the northern members are united and present a solid front, victory will crown their eftorts. But the trouble has been heretofore, owing to deals and com- binations entered into, many of the northern members were luke- warm in the cause of reapportion. ment.” Mr. Dunn called attention to the need of passing the amendment pro- vided in chapter 506 laws of 1909 in which the present right of the state to pay one-third the cost of constructing or improving any road or bridge will be raised to one-half, thus lessening the heavy burden existing on many of the counties. He gave good advice on the need of state experts to instruct the town- ship and county officers on the best and most economical way of con- structing roads, and closed his speech by asking for the enactment -of a_constitutional amendment—pro-|- viding'a one:mill tax for roads as soon as possible, and an annual aporopriation of $100,000 for this purpose for the next few years. L. J. Boughner, city editor of the Minneapolis Tribune, in the course of his address on “Intelligent Publicity for Northern Minnesota,” advised every business man and booster to get accquainted with the newspaper men in his home town. “The intelligent use of publicity is nothing' more or less than taking people by the back of the neck, and making them look ‘at this part of the country, whether they want tao| or not.” B Boost your section of the country, said Mr. Boughner. “Within a year atleast a hundred of those who are listening to me will come to the Twin Cities. Let each one, ‘when he strikes the city look up a news- paper reporter, and tell him that the crops are fine in Beltrami county, and that the last mortgage was burned the night before. The re- porter will hie himself back to the office and write the story and print it, and the next morning a- hundred thousand people are reading your message, If you can’t get ten set- tlers outof a hundred thousand, your message must be wrong. “Don’t make the mistake of telling the reporter too much; give him just ‘an item or two; and don’t insist that he wr-ite it in your particular way. Leave it'to him, it’s his business to make it readable, and he will, if you leave it to him.

Chicago, June 2.—Frank Gotch, the world’s | wrestling champion had an easy; of it, by ‘winning in two strdight falls from the Pole, Stanislaus Zbyszko. The first fall was won in six and three quarters seconds. He caught the big Pole napping and had his shoulders io the mat in less time than it takes to tell it. The second fall took just twenty-! six minutes, and the purse of $25,000 was won. It was expected that the Pole would at least give the champion a hard tussle, and was therefore a disappointment to the crowd. Gotch it is said expects to- leave at once for California where he will assist in putting. Jeffries- into shape for the Johnson fight July 4th. The eighth grade commencement exercises will be held in the city hall this evening. St. Paul 9—Columbus 1. g Minnedpolis 4—Louisville 7. American Association Won Lost Pct National League.
