ENTERED AS SECOND CLASS MAT- TER AT THE POSTOFFICE AT BE- MIDJI, MINN.,, UNDER THE ACT OF MARCH 3, 1879. DANGEROUS DELAY. Unfortunately the legislature did not pass the forestry bill until so late in the session that the newly created board has not been able to get a system of protection into operation. A forester has now been selected but he is detained in Washington finish- ing his work with the government. In the meantime the North is pass- ing through a critical period. Lack of rain leaves the forests strewn with dried slashings and brush which may carelessly become ignited and cause trouble. Some sort of protection should be given by the state at once. The Long Prairie Leader runs two solid pages on the alleged graft of the recent legislature. Why only two pages? I ‘Wiith some it is a case of can they “come back,” but with James ‘A.

After a two months’ acting pastor- ate of the Bemidji Baptist church, Rev. Robert Lincoln Kelley, will to- morrow preach his farewell sermons. Rev. Kelley came here from Chicago and was not in the best of health; He previously had been extended a call by the first' Baptist church of Pierre, South Dakota, and he now feels strong enough to take up a reg- ular charge. Rev. Kelley will leave for Pierre on Monday, where a week from to- morrow he will take up the work in his new field. He makes the follow- ing announcement for services here tomorrow: Sermon theme, at 11 a. m., “The I’lumb-!ine of God, or the Gospel of the Perpindicular.” 12:00 m. communion. 12:15 p. m.

The now safely “ddceased” Minnesota legisla- ture wasn’'t a ding-blasted, blear-| eyed, fire-spitting dragon after al! Bob Dunn, former state auditor and once upon a time defeated for governor, says so himself in this week’s issue of the Princeton Union. Robert was a member of the house from Princeton. When he says the legislature really did do something . worth while he is coming nearer the truth than most people will give him credit for. Now stop your laughing and read part of what he has to say: Hardly a newspaper in the state has a kind word to say of the thirty- seventh session of the Minnesota leg- islature. Most of the country weeklies, taking their cue from some of the city dailies, denounce the leg- islators in unmeasured terms. Is this indiscriminate abuse justified by the facts? I unhesitatingly answer no. ‘While the members, especially those of the house, were betimes conten- tious and unruly, yet on the whole both branches of the legislature were composed of honest, earnest men, ac- tuated by the highest motives, anx- ious to enact legislation that would prove beneficial to the best interests of the state. That the aspirations of the well-meaning members were only lets of 100 or more population. I have no regret or excuse to offer for any measure, motion or resolu- tion I espoused or opposed during the 37th session of the Minnesota legis- lature. i There is no denying but that the House was frequently in tumult and WHESE 1 vncssisiors s R . {that Speaker Dunn exceeded the,O'us (speed limit when he delivered his‘ | tarewell jolly to the members, “I am ;proud of you.” The fact remains, GRAIN AND PROVISION PmcEs %however, that the good things done Minneapolis Wheat. by the legislature have been lost in Minneapolis, May 5.—Wheat—May, | | the noise of the squabbles. | 985%c; July, 99%c; Sept., 932 @93%c. | — !

Degs that work in Belgium are bought and sold in the open market like horses, and if strong and well broken they bring from §$20 to $25 each. In manufacturing towns there is the usual number of horses, but for every horse you will see two dogs in ! harness on the streets. Early in the morning market wowen drive them hitched to carts loaded down with veg- etables. The grocer, the expressman, the butcher and baker, all employ dogs to do the work of horses. They are much quicker than the horse, and size for size they can draw a heavier load. It is said the dog in harness will go twice as far as the horse with- in the same time. They are driven in | wagons, single, double, treble and four- in-hand. They are often kept in liv- ery barns like horses, are fed generally on black bread and horseflesh and cost in board from 5 to 6 cents per day. They are sleek and well kept and ap- pear to enjoy their work.—Loulsvillo: Courier-Journal. A Drop of Water. Figures are sometimes impressive simply by being so stupendous that the human mind grasps them with dificulty. An instance in point is af- | forded- by the illustration once offered to his hearers by an eminent scientist, who, in order to bring to their com- prehension the idea of ultimate parti- | cles of water, stated that if he was to empty a tumbler containing half a pint of water, letting out-each second a number equal to 1,000 times the popnlation of. the earth, it would re- quire somewhere between 7,000,000 and 47,000,000 years to empty the tum- bler. Lord Kelvin has assured us that 1 if a drop of water was magnified to the size of the earth the particles would be between the size of cricket balls and footballs. If that statement is correct the drops of water in all the oceans are not many times so numer- ous as the particles, or molecules, in & single drop.—St. Louis Republic. ‘The great sou! that sits on the throne of the universe is not, never was and never will be in a hurry.—Timothy Tit- comb.

There was.once an old lady in Scot- land” who“kept ‘a ‘few ‘hens. -As: she lived close to the house in which a church minister lived he asked her to send him fwo new laid eggs every morning and he wonld pay her for them. So the old lady sent her girl to the minister's house every moning with two eggs. and tne minister's servant always thought the eggs were newly laid because they felt quite warm, as if they had just been taken from the hen’s nest. G But one day the egzs were cold, so the servant asked: “Are the eggs fresh today, Janey? They -do not seem warm.” The simple girl looked at the maid and then said, “Ou, aye, they're quite fresh, only my mother could not get the -cat to sit.on. them this morning, as it ran away.” . Locating lcebergs. The captain of an ocean steamer in most cases finds out when his vessel is approaching an iceberg from the men down in the engine room. That sounds queer, but it is a fact never- theless. It appears that when a steamship enters water considerably colder than that through which it has ‘been going its propeller runs faster. Such water usually surrounds the vicl- nage of icebergs for many miles. When the propeller’s action therefore is accelerated without the steam pow- er being increased word is passed up to the officer on the bridge that ice- bergs may he expected. and a close lookout for them is established. There i are natural reasons for the propeller acting in this way. and sea captains will assert the same thing. She Admitted It. A Mrs. Malaprop said to Clara No vello, the noted English prima donna,’ “You will admit that there is a great { deal of evil life in the theater.” “True, indeed,” replied Clara, “but | on which side of the curtain?” At a regular meeting of the City Coun- cil of ‘the City of Bemidji, County of Beltrami and State of Minnesota, held in the City Hall therein, on the 1st day jof May, 1911, and a quorum consisting of the majority of all the members thereof being present, Thomds Smart, a4 member thereof, offered the following resolution and moved its adoption: Resolved that in the option of the City | Council of the City of Bemidji, in the County of Beltrami and State of Minne- sota, it is expedient to issue to the State of Minnesota the bonds of said City of Bemidji to the aggregate amount of Twenty Thousand ($20,000) dollars, for the purpose of paving certain ave- 3 i d city, which nd streets are more fully L resolution of the City d City of Bemidji dated ay 1st, 1911, said bonds to bear inter- est at the rate of four (4) per centum per annum, to mature and bé of the respective number and amounts as, here- in set forth: 1.
