Of the two hundred and fifty papers published in the thirty-one counties represented at the Northern Minnesota Development convention at Crookston, only one, that has come to our notice, commented otherwise than favorable on the meeting, this lone exception being the Bemidji Sentinel,who would make 1t appear that it was a political meet ing, called for political purposes to further the interests of the machine politicians and slate makers through- out the state. Time and space will not admit of an answer to the Sentinel this week more than to use his own language: He is either trying to misrepresent the factsin the case or he -don’t know any better. What brand are you using now - Rood>—Menahga Journal, Northern Minnesota is pushin¢ hard for reapportionment so as to even up the legislatur and its all right too. Mower county is gettin’ more proportional than we deserve now and we can well afford to giv one-third of our present hold and be satisfied with one senmator and one representativ., It ain’t fair for southern Minnesota to have a senator and rep for every 20,000 and up north giv ’em only the same on every 50,00. It's going to stick hard to lose the old time supremacy but we’ve lost it for a long time. The big cities of the state figger together and get what they want and the country is played to fool. Laws that the supreme court will veto are passed to blind the rural constits such as the good roads bill and all such while I notis that the laws passed for-the interest of the cities some- how are made to stick. If we could get independent enuf topick out -legislators who would stand for the people instead of for the- corporations we “might round up- to- do something but so long as we- elect--corporation -men we’re down.—~Mower County Transcript, “GLENGARRY.” A. M. Wells of Sauk Centre, presi dent of the Northern ' Minnesota Editorial association, composed the following take-off on Longfellow’s poem “Excelsior,” and repeated it at the recent outing of theeditors at Glengarry Club:House near Walker. | The applause to his poem was tre- mendous, At break of day on the third of June An editor hummed adoleful tune. He wanted to go and join the boys, Absorb ozone and other joys At Glengarry. His brow was sad—the poor old bloke— For he was strapped. was clean dead broke. It looked like he must stay at home While the other fellows went to roam Around. Glengarry. In his'mind's eye he saw the light O'er broad Leech Lake 'gleam: warm and bright. “It's me to stay here allalone.” Then from his lips escaped a groan— “Glengarry.” A “delinquent” blew in and paid his bill. This put some ducats.in the till, And made the editor chirp like a- cricket; For now he had the price of a ticket To Glengarry. “Go not,” the politician roared; “Stay here, I'll jolly you like a lord;"” “Not on your life,” said the editor man; “I go to join the quill-driver's clan At Glengarry.” *Oh stay,” the maiden said, “and rest “Thy weary head upon this breast.” * "T'were sweet to press those ruby lips,” He cried; “But 1 must check my grips “For Glengarry.” “Try not the lake, well soaked you'll get:" Thus pleaded friends with eyelids wet. He heeded not but onward sped, With but one idea in his head— Glengarry. At close of day in Walker town, Just as the night was coming down, Stepped from the train spry as a goat, This editor man, and took the boat To Glengarry. There, mid the pines so tall and straight, He rowed, and fished, and smoked, and ate, And swore he'd ask to be forgiven If e’er he sought a finer Heaven Than Glengarry. | BY THE WAY | A woman may dress like a fashion plate but she can never acquire one of those magazine faces. When a man is to lazy to watch a game of billards it is time to bury him. Man never loses his interest in making:momey, no-matter how: old he may grow. Making love resembles smoking to the extent -that it is..something learned by experience. HUSBAND OF -WOMAN IS BEING SOUGHT American Suspected of Slaying Wife in Haly, Como, Italy, June 13.—The whole of Italy is being searched and the seas are being strewn with wiréless mes- sages in an effort to apprehend Por- ter Charlton of Washington, the youth- ful husband of Mrs. Mary Scott Castle ChaiTton, Wiiose muflTated body was taken from a trunk in Lake Como. The authorities maintain there may have been a connection betweep the murder of M Charlton and Miss Stella Reid of New York, whose body was found on the beach at Naples on April 24, The proprietor of the Suisse hotel at Como, in which the Charltons stopped for a few days before taking up their residence in the cottage near Moltrasio, was examined by the police regarding Charlton’s = alleged mis- treatment of his wife. He admitted that the stories of cruelty were true and repeated his- statement that the couple quarrelled so violently and that Charlton treated his wife so badly that he was forced to expel them from the hotel. The police believe that Charlton, who was at least twelve years younger than his wife, soon tired of her after cheir marriage three months ago, in- formation having been received from America that he married her as the result of a.sudden infatuation, DOZEN PERSONS ARE.

Seattle, Wash., June 13.—Fire that broke out on the northern water front during a hurricane was carried .by the wind to.a district to the:eastward thickly covered by wooden buildings and in a short time twenty acres were ablaze, causing a loss of $1,000,000 and rendering 500 people homel The fire, starting at Railroad ave- nue and Battery streets, destroyed.all the buildings on six city blocks and picked out a wooden' house here and there In the surrounding district not entirely fire-.swept. ~When the flames were at their height burning brands set fire to houses several blocks from the main fire. Alarming veports of loss of life were circulated, but so far as known only three persons were seriously hurt, al- though many firemen were slightly in- Jured. Sixty horses were burned in a stable on Railroad avenue. The district entirely destroyed con- sists of the blocks bounded on the west by Railroad avenue, on the east by:Second avenue, on the south -by Battery street and on the north by Vine street.

The largest buildings burned were the Galbraith-Bacen warehouse, which covered the -entire. block .bounded by Railroad and Elliott avenues and Bat- tery and Wall streets. Another large building -destroyed was that of 'the Puget Sound Sheet Metal works, just across Wall street from the Galbraith warehouse. The Glenarchy apartments, a three- story brick structure, and the. Wall- first hotel were also burned. The:lat- ter was a concrete building and after the fire had swept through:it dynamite was used to raze the tottering walls. Most of the buildings were one, two and three-story frame structures, used as saloons, dwellings and lodging houses. Many people srushed . out yin their night clothes, not having time to dress before being compelled: to vacate by the rush of:the flames. The Pacific hospital was .directly opposite the hottest part of the fire and was in great danger. Ambulances were tushed from all parts of. the city and patients-were removed as rapidly as possible to the city hospital. The police -stopped several automobiles carrying parties of society people -to see the fire and they were pressed into service in removing patients from the endangered hospital. After all the patients had been;re- moved the ;hospital caught fire, but was .extinguished before. much dam- age was done. There was no panic during the removal of the patients.
