In many places the law preventing the discharge of firearms or explos- ives is as rigidly enforced the week before the Fourth as at any other time. Judging from the pop of the toy pistols and snap of fire crackers to be heard in all parts of Bemidji, Premature celebrations are to go on unmolested. Parents should re- member that blank cartridge and paper cap guns cause more cases of lockjaw than any other one agency. The danger from fire crackers ought to be well enough known not to need repeated warning. There is no ex- cuse for the nerve racking biff, bang, bing that is to make the days hl@- eous from now until after the Fourth“ A safe and sane end of June and first,’ second and third of July is as desir- able as the Fourth itself, i | WHY ? With refreshing frankness the “Northwest Farmstead” talks about Northern Minnesota, her possibili- bilities, her trials and tribulations and natural blessings. Editorially the “Farmstead” has this to say: “Northern Minnesota, nearly two- thirds of the state, has mines, forests, water power, navigable streams and: manufacturing possibilities, also a rich soil, and millions. of idle acres whick will produce wealth for thou- 8ands of people. This part of the state has practically lain dormant, settlement sparce, potentialities un- developed, soil idle. This land is heavily taxed for the support-of a state government which takes - all and: gives practically nothing.. This tax goes to pay state bureaus that are poorly equipped and inefficient; bu- reaus that reach here and overlap there. “This part of Minnesota contains 1,500,00 acres of idle land belonging to Uncle Sam, nearly 3,000,000 idle acres belonging to the state and 65,- 000,000 acres of swamp land, which is a rich soil when drained. “Why has this part of Minnesota been neglected by the state? One reason is that it is not fairly repre- sented in the legislature. Its legis- lative apportionment was made. a. generation ago, so that a senator now. from this part of Minnesota repre- sents five times as many people as a senator from the southern part. -It is fully taxed, under-represented, neglected, and its needs are ignored. Surely this part of the state has a great grievance and as vital a need of organization for the common good as any people ever had. What does this part of Minensota want? Set- tlers, its lands drained, its forests protected, its roads improved and better schools. It wants and de- mands fair legislative representa- tion.” With the biggest and best crop on the most land ever curtivated, this part of the state is demonstrating this year as never before what won- derful possibilities lie within her largely undeveloped domain. PPO0P000900000004 o4 COMMUNICATIONS, @ R R R R R R RO Chattering Teeth and Robbers. Puposky, Minn., June, 26th, 1911, Editor Bemidji Pioneer, Dear Sir:- Since your daily of June 21st. came out, giving' my version, of the capture, or get away, rather of the alleged “Mike Davis” Mr. Fielding, seems to have taken offence, on be- half of his associates in the Puposky qeal, at my story, and has caused to be printed in certain Bemidji. Du- luth and Minneapolis papers, & state- ment to the effect that I was “found” by them, more than half a bloek from my house, without proper clothing on and was so frightened, that “I went from my house, to the depot, with only a long night dress on, “but I asure you that if my teeth did chatter it was from cold, and not from fright, I admit that it was a little chilly at 1:20 A. M. that morn- ing and that I caught a slight cold from the experience, 1 certainly was not frightened. We people in Puposky have become to used to this robbery business for that, having had three deals of this kind pulled off here in less than four years with as many false alarms thrown in, The object of this article, is to ex- plain, that it was by the officers re- quest that I went to the depot that morning and on account of Mr. Fielding’s being especially anxious, to get a message to Bemidji that I went as I was without dressing, I was on my porch listening, when I heard someone, at the Hotel say, “light a light, we have a man that is hurt” I went in the house and - told Mrs. Hodgdon, that some one hagd been shot and that I was going to the Hotel and see who it was. She begged me not to go, for fear Iwould get shot and while we were arguing the point, some one called my name. from my front gate, I stepped to the| door and asked, who it was, he re~ pled: Helmer. the deputy sheriff: and; a detective (who afterwards was in- troduced to me as Mr. Fielding) and that they wanted me. to, get the tele- phone going as the wizes. were cut, and they understood I had 4 line- man’s test set and climbers. I told them that the R.R. phone was 0, K. ag I hag tested it, immedi- ately after the. shooting. They asked me to call up the Superintendant, at Redby and. tell him thag they had a man who, was, pretty badly shot up and that they wished a special to take him to the Bemidji hospital, as soon as possible, I got the Superin- tendent at the first call and reported my success to them at once, Mr, Fielding then asked, me if I could get Central at Bemidji for him, as he was anxious to get a mess- age through, I told him I could not call Central without going to the de~ pot and I said, gentlemen I am not dressed and am in my bare feet, but if the message ig very urgent and you will excuse my éppearance, I will go at once. They assured me they would do.so and; I got Centrat for them at the first call and while Mr. Daddy's Bedtime & This Soldier tory — come-quicker-when I ealled you from the orchard this afternoon?” Obeyed His Orders Too Well 1 “Why;-daddy.” sd1d Jack. “I wasn't more than a minute late, I 'was just finishing & new house for my pigeons, and if I hadn’t put in another -ail-it-might-have-fallen.apart.” “Well, that's'a real igood excuse,” ‘said daddy, “and I'll forgive you, but 'you must remember after this that it is the’ place ot ‘a boy to mind his father ‘as quickly ‘and exactly asia soldier minds-his ‘general. “I recall how such:prompt' dbdedience onee saved thie life ‘of two little boys. They had strayed on the railroad track, and when their father caught sight of them an express train was coming along at top speed. ' They ‘couldn’t Jump or run, so he shouted, ‘Lie ‘down!” They did, and as they were go little the whole train went over thém, and their father picked them up very dirty, but unhurt.” 3 : “You see-if'they had' waited only for a second or bawled out *What for? or something ke that thers ‘wouldn't'have been any little boys léft'for me to tell you ‘this story about.’ Always remember this. Come at once, come running He Had to Catch and Kill the Horse, but He Skinned Him 'HAVE a small bone to pick with you, Jack,” announced daddy as the children-settied -thremselves for ‘the-bedtime-story. - “Why “didn’t you Young Of and come with a smile on' your face.” “I'll: mind on the second after this,” said:Jack. “Now,” said daddy, “I'll 'tell you a funny story about how ‘a-soldier' minded too well. 'He came to General-Butler’s tent one morning and said, ‘Sorry to repo sir, that your horee bas fallen"down the ravine.’ ** ‘Somebody’s carelessness,’ snapped the general, ‘I'll see to this. Go out and skin bim and bring me back the hide.’ “ ‘But’— began the-soldler. “ ‘How dare you say “but” to me?" roared the general. ‘Do as I tell you." “8ix hours later the soldier came-back with the horse's skin. “ “No, sir,’ replied the soldier, ‘but him. T tried to tell you the fall hadn’t ‘Does 1t take you six hours to skin a-horse? shouted the general, 1 was fiverhours catching him to kill Qurt him, but you wouldn’t listen.’ “And ‘General Butler couldn’t say a word. The man had simply obeyed his orders.” “I think’ they-were both-mean things,” said Bveiyn, “and I'm-so sorry for the poor horse.” minutes he would have had his man, At least three Puposky men heard Mr. Fielding’s call, heard the man answer and the brush quit cracking at once. Or did they figure that “Mikes” hide would mnot be very prime at this time of the year and by waiting until later in the season it might be worth more money? Or was it because my teeth, were making so much noise that Mr. Fielding did not hear “Mike” run- ning through the brush? Yours, A. E. Hodgdon, The Depot ‘Agent with the chat- tering teeth.
