Beltrami county is going to have to walk miles to find a drinking place, and then he should have the water tested as to its purity, while in this country one can walk less than a mile in any direction and find cool spring brooks with pure drinking water.” Mr. Woodward seemed far more enthusiastic over future prospects in Minnesota today than he has any time heretore. "It seems a shame to think of farmers and home seekers being lured into a barren country and right across the best spoton God’s green earth in order to get there. It must make home- steaders in this barren country home sick to learn of the opportunities overlooked in this great state. “Land men predict an influx of home seekers into this territory by the thousands during the coming year. ‘We have waited a long time,’ say they, ‘but the time is ripe for the rush right now.” ” System Should be Changed. In a recent tour of state land sales made by State Treasurer Dahl, of Wisconsin, throughout the northern part of that state he is quoted as saying, 'We must offer greater in- ducements if we hope to build up the northern part of Wisconsin. ‘The class of people who seek bar- gains in state lands as a general rule i i i t: tor: d the i ! 0 1 have not money to spare.

He expects to write to this state for a copy of the state law which provides for long time payments and a reasonable rate of interest. The law in Minnesota on state land sales apparently seems to be better than the Wisconsin law for the homesteader, but Minnesota lands are so situated that road con- ditions favor Wisconsin lands. This state has the better soil, more moisture and equally as good a climate as our sister state. This country needs good roads and the state should help get them, which can only be done by assessing state lands, and making them to bear their share of expense. County A-uditor Hay ner bas sent out a letter to the farmers of this and neighburing counties suggesting that the ‘cgi-liture make either an appropriation or pass some addition- al laws iu order that state lands bear their portion of the establish- ment and maintenance of the high- St. Louis 0—Boston 2.

With this letter he enclosed peti- tions for signatures or settlers who are in favor against it and asked for letters from them showing the condition of roads in their immedi- ate section and what they believe would be the result provided good roads were established. MONTANA BOOM BUSTED No Crops Being Harvested—Want Land in Beltrami County. candidate for nomination Andrew Johnson, the sheriff, has received a letter from an old friend in Montana asking if cer- tain land in this county is still open for settlement. The friend has been in Montana for some time and people out there, he says, are looking back republican for crops being raised this year in the northern part of the state. the cattle can live on what grass there is here, as one can hardly dis- tinguish any grass at all, only a short dry straw here and there. “It is almost useless to try to raise anything here without irrigation and it is impossible to get water on the largest part of the land, yet they are flocking in here by the trainload. 1 have seen thousands come in here from the East, but I have also seen them go back disgusted with what they saw. “Montana is being boomed to maximum—Ilurid advertisemenis being sent broad cast over the land, hence the influx of land seek ers. I've often thought it- North- ern Minnesota could get some of the same kind of advertising, it would not take long to fill up tke woods with farmers.” Beltrami county is raising good crops this year and this has been the dryest year known to many of the old time farmers here. The county has shown that the crops will come in both dry and wel weather. The advertising that good crops brings to a’ county is better than a thousand dollars spent in printer’s ink,” PROGRAM FOR TAFT AND Labor Day parade. 9:55—Goes to the auditorium, balf a block from the reviewing stand. 10:00—Begins his address before the National Conservation Congress. 12:00 noon—Luncheon at the St. Paul hotel. 1 to 2 p. m.—Rest and informal conferences with Governor Eberhart, Senators Nelson and Clapp and the officers and prominent _deleates to the Congress. 2:15—Starts with cavalry escort to the Minnesota State Fair grounds where he will deliver a brief address, Two detectives from twenty of the largest cities in the United States, together with the St. Paul police, will be under orders of the secret service men who accompany the president and will be in the crowd that will surround him at all times Following are the plans for the reception and entertainment of Colonel Roosevelt: 7.10 2. m.— Arrives in Minne- apolis from Fargo N.

Samaritans To Realize About Forty Dollars. Joe Bisiar reports that nearly, forty dollars were realized for the Samaritan room at the St. An- thony hospital from the dance held last night 'in the Armory. The dance was well attended, the floor was in good shape, and Mas- ten’s orchestra was at its best. W. B.

This should insure the actors being fresh in their parts. The company showed St. Cloud Sunday night and a private wire to manager Carson from the manager of the St. Cloud house said that the company was the best that had been there this season and had put up a good show. The play is billed as a comedy and the plot as outlined in the press agent’s sheets ought to give in marries an actress and tries to keep her from finding out that the formance are on sale at Hanson’s drug store, MORE CASH PRIZES UP $1.50 Each For Best Exhibits of Grains And Vegetables. Two cash prizes at $1.50 each have been put up by the committee in charge of the Farmers’ Day here Saturday for the best collection of vegetables and for the best collection of grains. To be. allowed in the contest, exhibits of grain must have at least two quarts. Posters announcing the day and the prizes have been sent out over the surrounding country and extra ones have been placed /in several storcs in the city so that all the publicity possible is being given the day. The committee has se- cured the |Odd Fellows hall for space for the farmers to set up their exhibits. - Allof the judging will be done as fast as possible, but the prizes will not be awarded uatil everyoae has been given a chance, : -ner. As a result there is a good deal of speculation as to who will be named to carry the democratic ban- “If I had anything to say about it,” said J. B. Galarneault, state superintendent of banks, who has just returned from a two weeks vaca- tion, “the nominee would be Judge C. W. Stanton of Bemidji.” But Judge Stanton will not be the nswold of Duluth, who placed John Lind in nomination, ap- pears to be in the lead, but it is a prretty safe bet that he will not be named. First, because Duluth is geographically wrong, and second, because there is another man on whom the democratic leaders are now pinning their faith. It would be a breach of confidence to say who this man is but this much can be said that he is one who would make a lightning cam- paign and about the only available man who could give Governor Eber- hart a run for his money. HAY GROPS VALUABLE Swamp Lands Have Doubled the Usual Acreage. Crookston, August 17—(Special to the Pioneer)—One of the most valuable assets of Northern Minne- on a good portion of the farms that are not entirely under cultivation, much less than a half crop. The vsat gain comes from the swamp land, which as a rule 1s under water all summer, but which this year has produced an immense hay crop - and was as dry as a bone since about the land ordinarly considered middle of June. Martin Widsten, who edits the Warroad Plaindealer and a paper at Waubon, but who for the past couple of months has been covering the entire Ninth district in the in- terests of Congressman Steenerson that the total hay crop would be much greater than the average.

As it will be impossible for every farmer to be personally interviewed, Mr. Mackenzie has requested that all who have exhibits let him know by mail so that he can arrange for its collection.
