Northern Minnesota Develop- Editors to Assemble, The Northern Minnesota Editorial Asgoclation will have its summer out- ing at Bemidji this season on June 13, 14 and 16 and big preparations arg being made for a fine meeting. Bemidji knows how to entertain and the attendance is due to be exceed- ingly large. Hinckley, June 5-6. It is getting close to June 1. The Northern Minnesota Development as- sociation will meet at Hinckley June 5 and 6. St. Louis county certainly must be represented there with a delegation big both in numbers and enthusiasm. Hinckley is a mighty good example of the agricultural possibilities of this section of the state. It is in the pine country. That part once had the same reputation of worthlessness that was given to St. Louis county. It was largely cutover land. It settled slowly. It was in disrepute. Then came the awful fire with its horrible toll of lMves and property. It was a hideous price, but it cleared the land, uncovering the fact that in fertility it was of the best quality. Since then settlers have come rap- idly; it has become a most prosper- or stump ous farming section, has demonstra- ted that land which will grow pine will grow’ any kind of farm products, and it is most fitting that the organ- ization which is devoted to the devel- opment of this northern part of the state should meet at the chief city of this burned over country. Hinckley itself is the best evidence possible of the richness of the country back of it. It is worth seeing; its history is worth knowing. It marks thé grad- ual driving back of the pine territory in this state, which at one time ex- tended to within 50 miles of the boundaries of the Twin Cities. This same territory is now all north of the Duluth line. Agriculture has steadily replaced the pine forests and when anyone pretends that pine country cannot be agricultural coun- try, that where pine stands or its stumps cumber the ground, grain and corn and forage will not grow, a long list of the now prosperous, well settled counties prove to the con- trary, Hinckley shows what has been done. To meet there will give those of the present pine and cutover sec- tion on object lesson worth seeing. This will pay for the going in itself. But beyond that, or before it, is the fact that this association has done| and fs_doing for morthern Minnesota more than all other promotion ,'l.g\en- cles combined ever did, including the state itself. The real development of all this two-thirds of the state has dated from the association’s birth at Bemidji and’that it be kept not only alive, but strong and agaressive, is| essential.—Duluth News-Tribune, | {(Copyright) Rheumatism Quickly Cured. , “My sister’s huspand had an at- tack of rheumatism in his arm,” writes a well known resident of New- ton, Towa. “I gave him a bottle of Chamberlain’s Liniment which he ap- plied to his arm and on the next morning the rheumatism was gone.” For chronic muscular rheumatism you will find nothing better than Chamberlain’s Liniment.

Families having Chinese cooks are glad to acknowledge that, in most instances, they make splemdid serv- ants and excellent cooks. Yet the Chinese, in his native country, is un- acquainted with the American means of cooking.- No stoves or Kkitchen ranges are manufactured in the great Tientsin district of China, says a con- sular report. . Stoves are in use, of course, but they are by no means’the ranges to which we are accustomed. The Chinese, however, are beginning to manufacture small cooking stoves patterned after imported models. The stores at Tientsin carry a line of Ger- man and American stoves. The Chi- nese use very primitive cooking ap- paratus. The little open air- eating houses found everywhere along the streets of the native city, and along the wharves, have the simplest kind of furnace supporting a kettle.

A metropolitan matron once ven- tured to interrogate James Lane Al- len as to the reason for his state of celibacy. “Are you abachelor from choice?” she queried: ° . “Yes,” came the answer with disconcerting prompt- ness from the famous author. “But isn’t that—er—rather ungracious and ungallant?” protested the fair inquis- itor. The novelist smiled. “You must ask the ladies,” he suggested gently; “it was their choice, not mine.” As Revised. A man is known.by the company that keeps him.—Judge.

If a passenger train of the Pan- ama railroad stops between stations, the reason given for the delay is us-|canal. ually, “We have taken siding to let the dirt train by.” ‘Whether these i'mportant trains are moving over the many miles of track built especially to enable them to reach the various dumping grounds or running over the main line of the Panama Railroad, it is all the same. Nothing can stop them, not evn Col- onel Goethals’ private car. They have absolute right of way. All through the hot day, until the tropical sun has sunk behind the horizon of sil- houetted palm and cocoanut trees, the dirt trains are constantly rushing along from the great excavation to the dumping ground. They are not jeven still when being loaded; for as the greaf steam shovels pile on the dirt the train slowly moves along, in order. that the next dipper filled with i ©7 > e in their fierce efforts to keep the dirg moving. 7 Hundreds of thése trains leave Culebra Cut every day, and a great many more receive their loads from various other excavatons along the Yet so perfect is the system of operating that an accident rarely occurs. In addition te.the block sys- |tem in use on the Panama railroad an dsome sections of the improvised roads, flagmen are placed-at all cross- overs and sidetracks. One colored flag controls the loaded trains, and one of another color the empties. The greatest credit must be given the operators of these trains; for they have been on the job-day in and day out, through periods of yellow fever, malaria, and other tropical diseases; to say nothing of the many times they have kept the trains moving when floods during the rainy season had completely covered the tracks. Every day a different human inter- est story will appear in the Pioneer.

A great, fast plowlike affair scrapes the dirt off the entire train of twenty cars in less than ten minutes and back for another load it goes. There are two types of trains used on the canal. One is composed of steel cars automatically dumped by compressed air from the engine, while the other style is composed of ordin- ary flat cars. Unloading is done by this plowlike arrangement, drawn along the length of the train by a cable, = - b 4 : All through the years of yellow fever epidemics and the annual-floods during the rainy season the dirt trains have never stopped.
