X. DENU. EAROLD J. DAWE, Bditor. The Master Mind. James J. Hill's is a master mind. " One has to talk with him but a “Yew minutes to realize this fact. Even ‘today, when he has many of the -vagaries of an old man, Mr. Hill’s “mind is constantly adding to itp vast gtore of information and he can tell you the latest figues on European immigration or the average amount of wheat raised in Minnesota and North Dakota on the Great Northern plots last year. His conversation is ‘the revelation of a well read, broad minded man. Mr. Hill has one gift that seems to be the birthright of few men. That is the power of vision. It is this ability to look ahead twenty-five or fifty years and see what is coming -and what the future conditions will seed that won him his standing in ‘the world of commerce and incident- ally his great fortune. It is a power that comes once in many geserations. Even today, in his declining years, —and Mr. Hill will be seventy-five next September if he lives—Mr. Hill sees that Minnesota and the Dakotas must learn intensive farming it their present prosperity is to be enjoyed by future generations. He, and the Great Northern railway which s practically “Jim” Hill, has organized a force of trained agriculturists and chemists who are testing the soil in different parts of these states so that they may tell what the soil needs in order to give an increased yield and still retain its fertility; The results of this group of men; which were made known to the edi- tor yesterday but which have‘hot yet been released for publication, are as- tounding. It may only be said at this time that in gne field of oats in North Dakota, the Great Northern threshed an average of 135 bushels from five acres and that the average per acre yield of the rest of the field was sixty bushels—and sixty bushels is a good crop. The eye could not wsee and difference in the two plots but the threshermen brought it to light. James J. Hill is now pointing the way toward increased farm produc- tion. It may be the last great work that he will be able to do for the] Northwest but it bids fair to be his ‘masterpiece. and has seen the need of this coun- try. May he live to see the farmers of Minnesota and North Dakota fol- lowing the path surveyed by thei Great Northern agricultural crew. He is a man of vision Need for Action. A.t the last meeting of the council it was decided to take proper steps toward licensing all baggage carriers | in the city, whether or not they use 2 dray. The movement is a commend-l able one and the council can go a; step farther. ' Some time ago an ordinance was | passed which provides that runners for hotels, rooming houses, etc., can- not approach trains nearer than the edge of the depot platform. The council could with propriety go a| step farther and include employment bureau agents with the hotel run-. “aers. ’ g Labor is scarce this winter and ‘competition between the various em- ployment bureaus is keen. For this reason, there is hardly a train ‘which comes into the city which is not sur-{ rounded:by employment agency men, | “’ #ome even.being bold engngh to board the cars and collar their men before| their feet ever hit the station' plat- form. ; The effect on people who are com- THE POSTOFFICE AT BE-|seiged by the baggage and livery men %‘k‘.fl.fl‘lfl UNDER THE ACT OF B i e | valid reason why the city should dis- ing into ‘the city for their first vii is as bad as though they were be- as in-the days of old. There is no criminate in favor of the employment agents. 1f it is proper for oneclass to solicit business on the trains and platforms, it is proper for the other. It would not only help the city ma- terially but would assist the depot men in the pronef discharge of their duties if the employment agents were restricted the same as the hotel and livery boosters. Not For Five Years. “Heres’ a small boy’s essay on newspapers: “Newspapers are sheets of paper on which stuff is printed. The men look over it to see if their names are in it. I don’t know how newspapers came into the world. I don’t think God does. The Bible says nothing about editors and I never heard of one being in heaven. | mu l “FOR DELIGATE CHILDREN A Mother’s Letter to Mothers. Mrs. B. W. Cooper of Blogmfleld, N7 J., says: “My child, seven years old, a bad cold and was weak and quite rundown in health. ' She had been in this condition for about six weeks when I began giving hef | Vinol. It was a wonderful help to the child, breaking up her cold quickly 4ard building up her strength beside. I have also found Vinol a most ex- cellent tonic for keeping up the chil- dren’s strength during a siege of whooping cough.” : Vinol is a wonderful combination of two world-famed tonics—the medi- cinal body building elements of cod liver oil and ‘iron for the blood. Tnerefore it is a perfectly safe medi- cine for children, because it is not a |printed on every package, so moth- ers may know what they are giving their little ones. Therefore we ask every mother of a weak, sickly or ailing child in this vicinity to try Vinol on our guaran- tee.. Barker’s Drug Store, Bemidji, The first editor I heard of was the fellow who wrote up the flood. He has been here ever since. Some edi- tors belong to the church and some try to raise whiskers. All of them raise the dickens in their neighbor- hood. Sometimes the paper dies and then people feel glad, but some one starts it up again. Editors never went to school, because editors never get licked. Our paver is a mighty poor one, but we take it 80 ma can use it on her pantry shelves. Our editor don’t amount to much, but paw says he had a poor chance when he was a boy. Paw has not paid his subscription in five years and don’t intend to.” False Alarms Costly. It costs the city of Bemidji about $50 every time the fire bell rings. A chimney fire which does a few cents damage but for which the depart- ment has to be called out, is a costly proposition . Citizens should remem- ber that every fire helps raise the taxes of the city and the cost of in- surance. Extra caution should be taken during the cold weather to see that hot winter fires do not .get be- yond conrol. The city has had four or five small fires the past month and each of them has increased the cost of running the government, Copyright) “NO COUNTRY IS BETTER.” SAID HILL (Continued from first nage). where they will raise wheat to com- pete with ours in European markets. Bemidji is the center of a natural dairy country, Mr. Hill believes. He harked back to thé time when he brought some 800 good blcoded bulls into the state for the purpose of breeding up the grade cattle and the politicians who laughed at him say- ing that Minnesota was the home of No. 1 Northern and would never be a dairy or cattle country. Hg be- lieves in the pasturing of cut over lands until the sod rots out the stumps and then the converting of the land into tilled farms. w..G, Schroeder, wno was present at the banquet, was cited as an ex- ample of a progressive farmer and Mr. Hill urged Bemidji A people to ‘'watch the result of the Grest North- ern test which will be made on Mr. Minnesota and North Dakota and the results for the past year are now be- ing tabulated and will be issued about the last of February. No Secretaryship for Mr. Hill. P. J. Russell followed Mr. Hill and brought his name before the ban- queters as a man who could be secre- tary of agriculture for the asking. As soon as Mr. Russell had retaken his seat, Mr. Hill arose and said that he could not think of it as he would see things to be done, would know Gadspurn’s Luck. “I feel like apologizing to Gad spurn.” . “Why so?” g “I have always thought him a hard man, but yesterday when I called on him to see if he would pay an account he has owed our firm for some time, I found him with a handkerchief to his eyes, apparently in tears. Not wishing to intrude on a man at such a painful moment, I hastily with- drew.” i “Ha! ha! T also called on Gadspurn shortly after you did and found him still in tears.” “And did you sympathize with him?” i “Sure. In fact I got the cinder out of his eye that was bothering him so much.” Hard to Pledse. “I see where a Harlem man one hun- dred and two years old has just fallen Il for the first time.” “I' should think it would take even more than longevity and continuous good health to compensate » man for living in Harlem.” : . : . * Unprepossessing Fare. . “Yer .dog tried to bite me, mum,” whined the soiled intruder. e . “He did, eh?’ snapped the thin woman at the door. “That’s the most tonvincing proof I've had in some time that animals don't reason.” .. i, MHard to Please. “Why did she divorce her firat hus band?’ . . *“He couldn’t keep his money.” “And why is she suing he? husband for.a divorce?” “He's such a tightwad.” present. ‘|how to do them, but would be un- able to get action,” implying that there was too much red tape in such offices. There were 135 men at the tables when they were seated at 8:30. It was 10:45 before the last course of the dinner, which had included baked wall eyed pike, Philadelphia squab, Great Northern punch and other things which rapidly disappeared from the tables, was served and the soiled dishes cleared away. It was 11:30 before Mr. Hill had finished his address and it was 3 a. m. before the last speaker of the evening was through. T. A. McCann, A. E. Nelson, W. H. Gemmell, E. E. McDonald, T. J. Burke, Al Jester and J. J. Opsahl were other speakers of the evening. Each contributed in turn to' the thusiastically of this country and of Bemidji as the center of its industry. At the tables were seated men rep- resentative of every line of business in this city. Mr. Hill was informed of that fact and commented more than once on the “good community spirit” he felt here. , Many Peonle at the Depot. into the depot yesterday afternoon between 3 and 4:30. The Bemidji band playéd a concert 3nd every, available seat was filled until the band had finished. Mr. Hill appeared .at the depot several times but disap- pointed the crowd by not going inside for a short speech. After a short auto ride around the city in the Mc- Canti car, M¥. 'Hill was taken to the Commercial club rooms where he en- ‘| tettained about a dozen . members with reminiscences and stories of what the Great Northern is doing now for the farmers. ¢ . . Mr, Hills" visit brought to light one fact which had heretofore escaped public notice. The new depot is built of the same material for all of its / Schroeder’s land next summer. Simil-| ar tests are being conducted all over| merrymaking and each spoke en-| Several thousand people crowded length. This plan was decided upon so that in case of an unusual growth of the city’s business in the near fu- ture, a freight depot can be built and the freight rooms of the present sta- ion used for passenger and baggage rooms. The present building can be turned into an all passenger station at a small expense. The banquet was served in the din- ing room of the Markham and was a revelation to the Bemidji men of what good management can accomp- lish. Mr. Lycan augmented his us- ual dining room force with several of the girls who have worked for him at owner times and the service they gave could not have been bettered in the big cities. Even Mr. Hill, who has been banqueted from coast to coast and in many European cities, marveled that such dishes could be gerved in a city the size of Bemidji. Those who watched him noticed that no course went untouched. Mr. Ly- can was freely complimented after the banquet. James J. Hill, in spite of his wealth and position, is a man of modesty and {unassuming appearance and actions. |Last night he was dressed in a busi- \ness. suit of gray with a maroon’col- ored tie that harmonized with his suit. His shoes were the solid top ;boot popular a generation ago and to *wnich many old men gtill cling. His isoft hat made his stature appear shorter than what. it really is. His conversation was as interesting as jonly that of a traveled, well red man of wide acquaintance can be. Clock Without a Spring. A unique timepiece has recently been invented by Eugene Walser, watchmaker in Los Angeles. Four ears of work has perfected a clock hich keeps accurate time but is thout a spring in its makeup. The ve power is gained by the clock down an incline, regulated by @& wonderful arrangement of weights the inside of the clock. There is po winding to be done, but every thirty days the clock is lifted to the top of the incline and begins to slide downward. The dial does not revolve with the case, but remains as an or dinary dial with the figure 12 at the top. The incline 18 of polished wood, 116 inches long, with an 81-3 per cent grade. There is no relation between the wood and the clock; it is simply @ matter of properly adjusted weights ‘which move the hands and control the downward motion of the time plece, Novel Auto Invention. ‘Whether it is due to the recent suc. cess of motor skids or not, the novel land interesting steering for moton cars that an Austrian motorist is ex- perimenting with is certainly some- {thing unusual. He has fitted at the gren.r of his car a large rudder, some- thing after the style of a ship’s helm. The rudder, connected by positive jmechanism with the front wheels, is intended to prevent the rear wheels skidding when the car is going around sharp curves. Apparently this motor iist-thinks that the resistance offered by a large area would be enough ta ‘eounteract the centrifugal force which is set up under these conditions. The rudder acts the coutrary way to the direction in which the car is going, ‘which is ‘of course, in order to obtain a greater purchase.—London Globe. » Somewhat Ambiguous. A missionary stationed in a land where the natives were cannibals, wrote for assistance as follows: “Our small force of brethren seems to be ubable to cope with the distress which prevails in the dark and be- 'pighted land. Please send a few more missionaries.”—Sunday Magasine. Sy AL 2 e e— Minn.—Adv. Subscribe for The Piomeer W. J. Denison +RJPER WASHING OF DISHES ittty D.
