I will say right here that I had not been in Solway an hour before I decided to buy land and Mr. Bye had eighty acres that just suited me, more so as to location as it joins the townsite. I paid him $25 per acre and I consider it very cheap. He has some very choice tracts from a half mile to a mile from town that he sells from $12 to $15 per acre on easy terms. But it will not last long at the rate he is selling it. He sold 1,440 acres the day be- fore I came there to some Goodhue county Norwegians, and if the soil and conditions had not been right he never could have sold to them. “Mr. Bye came with me to Bemidji as I was a little undecided about go- ing there alone from what I have heard about the town. But it did not take me long to change my mind as I found it a place about 8,000 people. The streets were paved and it had as fine hotels and stores as you will find in much larger cities, one Union de- pot built last summer and Jim Hill is now building one of his own which will cost $60,000. There are five or six big factories. The largest is the Crookston saw mill. They pay a tax on a valuation of $276,000 to the county so you can imagine what a concern it is. There are three large school buildings, one costing over $50,000. They have an experiment farm for the school, also a State Demonstrating Farm one and a half miles out of town. I found Bemidji a nice, orderly town. On the beauti- ful lake, which is over seven miles long and four miles wide with the Mississippi passing through it, I saw some of the finest gasoline launches. Mr. Bye told me some cost as high as $3,000. “And now to close I will say to those who are renting land and who have not money enough to buy this high priced land, go up north and look at the land for sale. It will not be long before the best is gone and Yyou must remember there is only one crop of land.” i Respectfully, Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Qually. SPECIAL LAND SALE. The Board of Reclamation ap- pointed under the provisions of Chap. 367, G. L. 1911, has improved twen- ty acres of the SE. 1-4 of SE. 1-4, Sec. 36, Twp. 150, Rg. 31, in this county. This forty, together with other tracts will be offered for sale at Bemidji on Nov. 13, 1912, at 10:30 a. m. VENTILATE YOUR BED ROOM. As soon as the harvest is giving leisure to the men who have worked hard all summer, they should think about their winter sleeping quarters. According to the state anti-tubercu- losis society, much of the consump- tion which attacks country residents is aided by poor ventilation in the bed room. Every one needs plenty of fresh air when he sleeps, and with blankets on the bed, you will be warm enough if the windows are open, even in the coldest weather. Storm windows should be put on hinges so they can be opened dur- ing the night. Thousands of people all over the state are sleeping in the open air all the time on sleeping porches. These are open on three sides, shut off from the house and have given renewed enery to every one who has used them. Fresh air will prevent as well as cure tubercu- losis.—State Board of Health Talk 13. Indiana Commercial Clubs. Hammond, Ind., Oct. 1.—Delegates from half a bundred cities assembled at Indiana Harbor today at the op- ening of the fifth annual convention of the Indiana Federated Commercial clubs. The meeting will last three days. Dr. W. A. Evans, former pres- ident of the American Medical asso- ciation, and H. A. Wheeler of Chica- 20, president of the United States Chamber of Commerce, are among the scheduled speakers. J. W. Copeland, of Dayton, Ohio, purchased a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy for his boy who had a cold, and before the bottle was all used the boy’s cold was gone. Is that not better than -to pay five dollars doctor’s bill?

Teddy Tetzlaff, driving his Van- derbilt cup Fiat, hurled the machine around the curves and down the miles an hour, being timed by the horograph in 6:16. Wishart in a Mercedes negotiated the 7.9 miles of track close behind Tetzlaff in 6 minutes and 20 sec- onds. Caleb Bragg in a Fiat made it in 6:22; Roberts, Mason, 6:49; De Palma, Mercedes, 6:24; Bergdoll, Benz, 6:27; Clark, Mercedes, 6:49; Anderson, Stutz, 7; Hughes, Mer- cer, 7:06; and Nikrent, Case, in 7:20. Tetzlaff’'s time is better than his world’s record of 78 1-2 miles an hour. He speeded over 30 yesterday and is confident he can repeat the performance officially. Drivers predicted today that rec- ords will fall during the running of the Vanderbilt cup, Grand Prix and Wisconsin Challenge and Pabst Tro- phy races here Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. The Vanderbilt cup record is held by Mulford with 74.07 miles an hour average. Bruce Brown holds the Grand Prix record with 74.4 average. Both were made at Savannah last year. George Clark, driving a Mercedes, narrowly escaped death yesterday when his car skidded and ran for a great distance on two wheels. 500000 HOGS IN MINNESOTA. St. Paul, Oct. 1.—“Pigs is pigs” in Minnsota, acording to figures struck this morning by the State Tax commission. Assessment returns show the total number of pigs in Minnesota this year is 69,953 greater than a year ago. In other words, there are 502,271 hogs in Minnesota now as compared with 432,318 a year ago. Their value 1is $1,615,948, against $1,473,680 a year ago. The commission had to remind one assessor that pigs are hogs, and had considerable argument trying to con- vince him. The statement of assess- ors asks for the listing of “hogs.” The assessor’s report was to small and an investigation showed he had not assessed swine under six months of age, because they were “pigs.” To End Pollution of the Lakes. Ottawa, Ont., Oct. 1.—The interna- tional joint commission: on water- ways met in this city today for what is regarded as the most important session that has yet been held by that body. The chief purpose of the meeting is to formulate a program for the investigation of the pollution of the great lakes and other boun- dary waters between the United States and Canada. This question, in the opinion of officials. of the two governments, has become the most pressing of all problems affecting the welfare of the people of the two coun- tries. Absinthe Under the Ban. Washington, D. C., Oct. 1.—The United States today joined the list of nations that have placed a ban on absinthe on the ground that it is in- jurious to health.

Ina recent game with the Cincinnati Reds Pitcher Ragon. but one hour and ten minutes were needed to enable Ragon to defeat the westerners.- “Ragon omits all unnec- essary flourishes and keeps right at work all the time he is in the box, never taking a breathing spell, nor al- lowing his catcher any rest. - Triple Play Unassisted. First Baseman William Rapps of the Portland Baseball club of the Pacifie Coast league made a triple play un- assisted in a recent game between Portland and Oakland. Oakland run- ners were on first and second bases. The batsman hit a low liner toward first and the base runers, thinking the ball could not be fielded, sprinted ahead. Rapps scooped up the ball with one hand before it touched the ground. He touched first base before the runner could get back and then raced to second in time to get the third man. Good to Tesreau. They had to strain a point to make & nohit game for Jeff Tesreau at Philadelphia on September'6, but not because the Big Bear did not do his part. The disputed hit was a short fly hit by Paskert. Both Merkle and Wil- son went after it and let it drop be- tween them. It was first scored as a hit, but Merkle afterwards declared without batting an eye that he touch- ed the ball and took an error, so that Tesreau's hit column might be a blank. Arties In Mix-Up. - Artie Hofman and Artie Butler did the Alphonse and Gaston act on a fiy recently, and were roasted for being boneheads, but Manager Clarke came to their rescue with the explanation that it was due to both having the same names.
