E. ®. DENU. ditor. Bemidji and Saskatoon. For the past ten days there bhas been a man in Bemidji extolling the virtues and wonderful opportunities of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. While the word of the gentleman is 1ot to be doubted and many men have made fortunes in Canada, yet the same conditions have obtained in this country. Those who have been considering investing in Canadian schemes which in many cases are of a wild cat na- ture might do well to Bemidji and this country carefully before sending their money This is a country with a future but one which cannot be made in a day. 1t takes years of muscular effort to bring this country under a state of cultivation. But the land is there and the market for the crops. Is it not better to keep money at home, invest it in slow but sure prop- look about away, ositions, make it assist in the general development of the country and have it where it can be watched than send it 600 miles away into the hands of strangers? Advertising Bemidji. A short time ago the Bemidji Sen- tinel boasted of the fact that all news matter appearing in the twin city, Duluth and Grand Forks papers, un- date from its office and that it was the of- der a Bemidji line emanated ficial correspondent for the outside dailies, all of which is doubtless true. It was from the Sentinel office that the story came that appeared on the front page of Journal a few weeks ago, to the ef- fect that the Bemidji Commercial club had trouble from within at the annual meeting and that there was a the Minneapolis fight over the election Sensational “dope™ of directors. to be sure, but of what good to Bemidji? The Dwluth News-Tribune, during the present week, published an arti- cle under a Bemidji date line, in big sensational style, citing a divorce case, which accomplished no good for But it was sensational and the big dailies used ii. They pay for it too, about $4.00 a column. We estimate that the two articles above referred to netted the official correspondent approximately $1.29. That’s cheap advertising isn't ! But it's too cheap for Bemidji. There may Bemidji and its citizens, be dozens of similar cases, bni what use is it to rehearse them? The harm has been done—and for a few cents per inch. We believe that Bemidji would rather pay twice that price and not have these nasty items published. | community, they are bette than published. ~ When ‘it comes ‘to the_question of right and wrong for the best interests for Bemidiji, the Pioneer will declare itself. Tt favors the commission form' of government and has advocated it.’ It favors high~ er license and has urged it. It favors the reduction of saloons and has said so. It has subjected itself to a strict censorship of the moral tone of news printed and is proud to say that children who read it are spared many gruesome details in which the Sen-: tinel ‘takes apparent delight in re- vealing. “But why all this?” you ask. The Pioneer has for the past year totally ignored the abuses heaped upon it by the Sentinel, and believes that the readers ate not interested in person- al differences, but when the Sentinel office persistently gives Bemidjl the kind of advertising that hurts instead of helps, credits the Pioneer with it, and then bas the nerve to brag about it, the time for silence is at an end. Plans Record Flight. Beckman, the aviator of Cologne, ho is preparing to make a sensation- al flight across the-Atlantic this spring from Europe to America, intends: first to start from the DaRocha cape In West Spain and fly across to Fercheir, the first of the Azores islands, o1 1,000 miles. From there he is to at tempt the flight across the ocean tc| Halifax, which will mean about 1,800 miles. He will take on board 2,000 pounds of gasoline, and the flight to Halifax will last twenty-two: hours at & somewhat slower speed. This Ger man transatlantic machine is to be a monoplane no less than 33 feet in length and 56 feet spread, having a wpporting surface of 540 square: feet. The weight of the aeroplane is 1,500 pounds, and the framing is of steel tubes. It is to have two revolving cylinder motors, each driving one propeller. Wireless apparatus and- searchlights will be carried on board Their Similarity, The social reformer was inspecting the slums. “I have come to the: con- clusion,” he remarked, “that good men are mighty scarce.” “And bad ones are apt to make themselves so when | they are wanted,” replied the plaine| clothes man who was showing him| around.—Philadelphia Record. $100 Reward, $100.

A comedian was in the course:of deliver ing a:long but not always uniformly funny soliloquy fer which he is fa- mous: came an unexpected comment from the stalls.
