ATTENTION VOTERS Next Tuesday you have the oppor- tunity to exercise your full right as a American citizen to vote for who ever you please for office. Why is there a blank line under each candi- date’s name on the ballot, if not for the purpose of writing in a name, why not the name of Charles Swed- back for county treasurer, this idea of making a cross only, the political party naming who you shall vote for is an old old story. This fall it is a different story you can exercise your full. right and either write in a name or use the sticker, which is a novelty in itself. Ifeel as if I am entitled to the full support of the voters in Beltrami county when they know or should know that it was through trickery that I did not get my name on the ballot. Charles Swedback.

PLANS TURPENTINE PLANT M. N. Koll Arranges for One at Cass, If Stumps Can Be Obtained. _If there is a sufficient number of Norway stumps in the vicinity of Cass Lake, a turpentine plant will be established in that viliage, After much investigation, M. N, Koll of Cass Lake has convinced capitalists that, with the proper aid of farmers and homesteaders, such an undertaking could be made a success. Mr. Koll says: “For the purpose of getting in} formation to satisfy the parties who will furnish the money, that there are sufficient Norway stumps in this vicinity to supply such aplant,I have been asked to get certain in- formation from farmers and home- steaders as to how much of this wood they would furnish under the plans proposed. Competent chemists are at work to determine whether there are s ufficient turpens in jack pine stumps to use them also.” The idea is for the turpentine people to own a stream or gasoline stump-pulling outfit and pull the stumps for the farmers, the farmers in turn agreeing to deliver the stumps to the plant or most conven- ient railroad point to Cass Lake. For the present the proposed turpen- tine belt is as far south as Wilkin- son and as far west as Rosby or the Great Northern.
