The chief of p&lice g St. Paul says that during the winter time there is always a gang of crooks hanging around. Is this a slam at the legis- lature? With a small boy in the house, you don’t need a calander to know that Christmas has gone by. Still he did get enough wood sawed to last awhile. THE MISTAKE OF OUR FRIENDS IN THE SOUTH. As the days go by and the legis- lative session comes closer, the real opposition to a just reapportionment bill begins to rear its head and spit fire. To show the feeling in the south- ern counties, we quote from the Win- nebago Faribault county: Press-News, published in “One prominent Southern Minne- sota senator says he will not vote for any reapportionment bill that will legislate him and sixty-three other senators out of a job in just one-half the time they have been elected by the people to serve. And this sena- tor ,probably voices the opinion of a great many others. Our friends in the northern part of the state have inaugurated a Gattling gun campaign for reapportionment, but it may be well for them to remember that southern Minnesota has rights that must be taken into consideration as well as northern Minnesota. In other words if a reapportionment is made it must be broad enough to take in the whole state and not one sec- tion of it as clamored for by some of the Brainerd boomers.” It is true that the north has in- augurated “a Gattling gun campaign for reapportionment” and it is the fear of our southern friends that their top-heavy representation will be shot full of holes, which causes them to fight what the north knows to be a square deal. If the Press-News means what it says, and southern Minnesota will back:the sentiment, there will be a redistricting “broad enough to take in the ‘whole state and not one section of it,” and that will mean represen- tation for the now unrepresented north. The continual misapprehension and unjust criticism made by the south is finely illustrated by our ‘Winnebago contemporary which ap-| parently labors under the belief that its district would loose a represen- tative under the proposed change, when as a matter of fact it would not. Therefore, there really is no reason either selfish or otherwise, why the Press-News and the other southern town papers should not as- sist the deserving north section by lending its influence toward the just- ly deserved .enlarged representaticn for this part of the state. MAKING WET-LANDS “WORK. On the same day that the census bureau in Washington nnnouhced the population of Minnesota as 2,- 075,708, a gain of 324,314, or 18.5. per cent in ten years, there came a statement from the office of George A. Ralph, state drainage engineer, that the state already has drained 545,085 acres of its swamp lands and made them available for agricultur- al purposes. There is a coincidence in these two Funouncements as this great drainage work will provide more farms and more farms mean more people and more towns, which will make the growth of northern Minnesota’s pop- ulation in the next ten years much greater than it has been in the last decade. In his report Mr. Ralph says: * “It is estimated that Minnesota originally had about 10,000,000 acres of swamp lands, or land too wet in its natural state for agricul- tural purposes. This vast area, comprising about one-fiftth of the total of the state’s area, is fast be- coming transformed into valuable farm lands. Conservative esti- mates place the area reclaimed dur- ign the last two years at 1,500,000 acres. With our constantly increas- ing population, the area of unoccu- pied agricultural lands must con- stantly diminish and the demand for agricultural products must naturally increase. No one factor plays a more important part in this demand than drainage. By continuing the drainage of wet lands, thousands of acres of the most productive soil can be added to the wealth producing area each year and millions of dollars be added to the agricultural wealth of the state.” In addition to the drainage work done under the direction of Mr. Ralph thousands of acres in this part of the state have been converted in- to tillable soil under the jurisdiction of judicial districts and county com- missions. “Much of thi¥ work has been done in the vicinity of Thief River Falls which is the seat of Min- nesota’s new county, Pennington. Most of this work has been done under the direction of W. R. Hoag, engineer, who was appointed by Judge Andrew Grindeland to super- vise the drainage in what is known as judicial ditch No. 11. This work lies in Beltrami, Red Lake and Mar- shall counties. A large majority of this work has and is being done by the Northwestern Drainage company of Grand Rapids, Wis. Arthur M. Arpin of Thief River Falls is the general manager and he has had a large force working night and day on the giant dredges converting swamps into land that are destined within a few years to add to the state’s fame as a grain producing district. This project alone will add 650,- 000 acres to the state’s farming area and is independent of the work done by the state drainage commission. It is believed that all of the work will have been completed in four or five years and when the next census is taken the enumerators will have to invade the former haunts of the bear, deer, wolf and wild fowl to gather the names of the inhabitants.

There has been a_few public asser- tions ithat the “development meet- ing” at Brainerd was mixed with politics and that “development” was 8 side issue. This is nowise true. As a matter of fact the delegates paid no attention whatever to the mem- bers of the next legislature who as- sembled at Brainerd to confer with jone .another on “the - gpeakership. .Early in the proceedings a reso/luuon wasg:-passed which eliminated.any pol- itical .scheme which .might -be .at~ tempted to be sprung on the meeting. —Roseau Times.

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 27.—The Llewellyn iron works were partially wrecked by an explosion, presumably by dynamite. The force of the explo- sion tore out the front of the building and .aroused people in residence dis- tricts more than two miles away. The police have no clue to the perpetrators. The .explosion is believed to have been the outcome of the general labor troubles of Los Angeles, in which the Llewellyn company has been promi- nently involved. The front of the main building for a distance of about seventy-five feet, was wrecked, the furniture and para- phernalia of the offices being included in the ruin. T1he machinery apparent- ly was undamaged. J. E. Asbury, the watchman, was buried under a- mass of debris, but was rescued, only:slightly injured. The Llewellyn iron works is one of the concerns involved in the metal workers’ strike which went into effect on June 1 of this year. The strike has on both sides. A sprained ankle will usually*dis- able the injured person for three or four weeks. This is due to the lack of proper treatmeat.

RAILROAD MEN ARE KILLED Two Meet Death.in Accidents at St. Paul. St. Paul, Dec. 27.—Two fatal acci- dents on ‘local railroads were report- ed to the St. Paul-police. The first became public shortly after the dis- covery of the body of S. H. Stroup, tower-man at Oakland station, on’the Burlington road, lying in a ditch-about 300 feet west of the Pigs Eye bridge near the fish hatcheries. Stroup had been. missing since Saturday night. His body, terribly mangled, was al- most entirely covered with snow, ex- plaining the vain search which was made for -him by the police and rail- road officials. The second accident occurred at al- most the same -instant that the body of Stroup was found. o Jobn, Anderson, a section hand on the Omaha road, fell in front of a rap: idly moving passenger train in the Hazel Park -yards while trying to clean out the snow and ice from a switch. He saw the train coming, but stayed on the track too long, slipping on the ice as he started to leap from the track. 3 The peculiar properties of Cham .| berlain’s Cough Remedy have been thoroughly tested during epidemics of influenza, and wheb it wastaken in time: we have not heard of a? single case: of pneumonia.

ASK 15 RER, CENT ADVANCE Seventy-five Thousand Men Affected by Latest Demands, but an Early Adjustment s Expected, as the Roads Have Offered a Ten Per Cent Increase—Trainmen and Conductors Working Toge}her in Negotiations. Chicago, Dec, 27.—With the wage controversy between the Western rail- roads and the locomotive engineers adjusted amicably the managers are ready to resume negotiations with the trainmen. and conductoxs in the -hope that the slate may be wiped clean. by the new year. Seventy-five thousand trainmen. and conductors -on all the: railroads west of Chicago are involved. They are demanding a wage increase of about 15 per cent. On account of the crit: | ical stage which the: negotiations with the engineers reached at the end of last week conferences with the train- men and conductors were adjourned | temporarily. They will be -resumed shortly and it is expected that before the end of the week an agreement may: be reached. The Brotherhood of Railroad Train- men and the Order-of Railway Con- ductors are acting. jointly in the nego- tiations. The managers, it is under- stoad, have offered the men _a flat increase of 10 per cent over existing schedules, but the offer does not in- clude any change in ‘working rules. As each rule means money to the men they say they are more anxious about rules than they are about an increase. . So far the Conferences have been marked by harmony and it is said there is little danger of a break. ONLY ONE “BEST” Bemidji People < Give Credit Where Credit is Dae.
