VOLUME 10. NUMBER 62. BEMIDJI INVITED TO SEND EXHIBITS Great Northern Officials Write Com- mercial Club Asking for Prod- ucts of this Locality. TO BE DISPLAYED IN THE EAST Will Be Shown Two Weeks Individu- ally in Windows of Railway Special Offices. BEST KIND OF ADVERTISING| Leedy Says That Actual Samples Do More Good Than Money Spent For Photographs. Through the Commercial club, Be- midji has been invited to prepare an exhibit for the Great Northern rail- way which will show the horticultur- al and agricultural products of this region. The invitation is being ex- tended to certain Commercial clubs of Minnesota and one was received by H. C. Baer from E. C. Leedy, general immigration agent of the Great Northern railway. It has long been the policy of the Great Northern immigration depart- ment to make exhibitions throughout the Central and Eastern states, using parts of the exhibits from the various clubs. Now it is proposed to give each club a separate exhibit and to place these in rotation in the windows of the Great Northern offices throughout the East. An exhibit will be made in Chicago for two weeks and then mov- ed to New York, Philadelphia, or oth- er eastern points. The matter is being taken up now in order that good selections may be made and the exhibit be one of which Bemidji can be proud. Mr. Baer has a sheet showing how to select the ex~ hibits, how to prepare them, and how to ship them. This sheet may be con- sulted by farmers at any time. All material for exhibits will be handled free of charge by the railroad. In selecting products for exhibition purposes, it is pointed out that the one fact to be kept in mind is that the product must better than that raised in the East or there will be no incentive for emmigration. Products must be of the finest and with no flaws or blemishes. “No language. no pictures equal the display of the products themselves. If you have not the goods to show, you have no right to advertise,” says Mr. Leedy. A bum- per crop around Bemidji this fall will bring in more settlers than many thousands of dollars worth of paper and ink. will DOMINION CAMPAIGN CLOSES. Regina, Sask., July 10,—The fate of the Liberal Government, which, under Premier Scott, has been in power continuously since the forma- tion of the Province of Saskatchewan nearly seven years ago, will be deter- mined in the general election tomor- row. The campaign closed rather quietly today, many of the meetings and demonstrations planned as a wind-up of the contest having been abandoned as a result of the catas- trophe which befell this city a week aga. Both parties express themselves eonfident of winning the election, but as a matter of fact the Province is so large, the constituencies so new, and| the voters list so vastly changed fronr{ the last fight that the results of the election cannot be forecasted with any large degree of certainty. In his fight for a renewal of power Premier Scott cites the record of his administration with regards to the elevator question, the creation of a Provincial system of telephones, the establishment of a Provincial univer- sity and agricultural college and the handling of other important prob- lems. The government also relies on the reciprocity argument to attract the heavy American vote. The Conservatives for the first time are completely organized with working candidates in every ‘constit uency. The party has brought in several prominent Manitoba orators to assist in ‘their campaign. The Conservatives declare that reciprocity. * | other noted leaders of the prohibition COLONEL G. B. M.

Dealers. Assail Wheat Rates. Chicago, IIl.,, July 10.—Prominent grain dealers and millers throughout the West attended the hearing con- ducted here today by Examiner Boylz of the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion reiative to alleged unjust rates on wheat from Minneapolis to Chica- 80. The proceeding is regarded as ex- ceptionally important to the flour in- terests. »As a result of a-miling-in-transit arrangement at Minneapolis, it is al- leged, millers in’ the latter city are enabled to bring wheat there, turn it into flour and ship it to Chicago at the rate of 7 1-2 cents a hundred pounds. Chicago millers, on the oth- er hand, are compelled to pay ten cents a hundred pounds on wheai shipped here from Minneapolis. This arrangement, it is contended, enables Minneapolis millers to deliver their flour in Chicago at an advantage of 2 1-2 cents a hundred pounds, so far as freight charges are concerned, ov- Shoots are being held in Crook-|' - Old-Enough-to-Know-Better 'Iol.
