Washington, June 23.—The marble folks in the capitol statuary hall have been having their petrified feelings badly ruffled. Statuary hall, as all visitors to Washington know, is rather small in dimensions, and as each state is al- lowed to place images of two of her great men in this national.hall of fame, the space is getting pretty well filled. Having a limited space and a total roster of 96 marble people to dispose of, the capitol employees could do nothing else than’ place the statues shoulder to shoulder around the en- tire circumference of the room, so that the general effect is that of a giant ring of famous, dignified, heroic size statesmen engaged in a perpetual game of drop the handkerchief. But one day this week, to add to the indignities that have already been heaped upon the helpless images, there was a great creaking and pant- ing-and heaving heard at the door, and presently the new marble statue of Zachariah Chandler, of Michigan, inched its way into the hall on rollers urggd by sweating men with crow- bars. The statue is to be formally dedicated this week, P Once the big piece of stone was in the hall, the question was where to place it. The capitol workmen figured it out. By changing a statue or two about, and jamming them all up a little closer together, a space was created for the late Mr. Chandler. Robert Fulton, eternally admiring the steamboat model held on his knee, snuggled a bit closer to the bronze cloak of George Washington. John C. Calhoun swapped places with the late Senator Shoup, of Idaho. This turned John’s gallant gaze away from Francis E. Willard, the only lady in the group, but allowed him to glare even more fiercely at Daniel Webster, his old rival, across the hall. And Chandler found room between Cal- Place For Locating of the New “Norinal School. EDITORS IOUD IN PRAISE Newspapers of -this . part of the state are stfll ringing out the reasons why Bemidji is the proper place for the location of the new state -normal school and if they have their way about it there is not much doubt as to where the school will be placed. Some of the'more recent “dope” fal- lows: After the editorial association of Northern Minnesota had become acquainted with Bemidji and the sur- rounding country during the annaal meeting there last week, the members unanimously passed a resolution de- claring that city to be the place where the sixth state normal school should be located. After that declaration by the editors no one can reasonably doubt the wisdom of the choice.—Ait- kin Age. Greater Minnesota. The Northern Minnesota Editorial Assoclation held a most enjoyable and instructive outing at Bemidji and Red Lake last week. The entertainment features of the outing were excep- tional, but the instruction gained in seeing Norhern Minnesota—or we might call it Greater Minnesota—is invaluable. i One does not realize how big a state and how young a state Minnesota is vnul he has taken a trip into this great undeveloped portion which ex- tends from below the central line of the state way to the Canadian border. We think of Minnesota as an old state (57 years since it was admitted to the Union) and yet Minnesota has only scratched the surface in her de- velopment. The fertile praises of the south and west have been easily sub- dued but the greater region which gave to Minnesota her great lumber industry remains still to bq subdued, and of this undeveloped empire, Be- midji is the metropolis:- =y In-Hands of Boosters: - And Bemidji is in the hands of the greatest bunch of boosters that ever tackled the problem of subduing a wilderness. They believe in their city and in their greater Minnesota and well they may . Wherever the woods have been cleared away and the pos- sibilities of the soil tested, it has yielded great return. We hold no brief for Bemidji, and the advertisers of that city are amply able to pre- sent its advantages but the thought which we wish to present to our read- ers is that this great northern region is all part of Minnesota; their prob- lems are our. problems, and Minne- sota herself is still in her youth.

Growth of Parcel Post. ‘Washington, June 23.—Growth of the parcel post since its inauguration January 1, has increased to such an extent that the postoffice department has had to purchase forty additional sutomobiles to be used exclusively in the collection and delivery of parcels and department = officials - today ‘are cousidering open bids for-the macl ines. They will be distributed in Ne York, Boston, Chicago, St.. Louis, Batlimore, ahd San Francisco. .. All will be of the enclosed type, Pia No wonder that the editors en- dorsed Bemidji as the proper place for the new normal school. Not only is the proposed site excellent, but there are the facilities and location for the building up of a successful school. Through the courtesy of Indian Agent Dickens, the editors enjoyed an outing on Red Lake, the largest body of fresh water wholly within the United States. On this restricted res- ervation are 1,400 Chippewa Indians. A visit to this reservation will con- vince one that there is no such thing as an “Indian question.” Indians are “just folks,” and the questions which they have to face individually and ollectively are the same questions which every other community faces in one way and another. UP FOR HEARING “|Owners of Swan Lake Summer Re- sort Would Restrain Operation of an¥ Company. SPOILING BEAUTY IS CLAIM Operation of Concentrating-Plant: is Discoloring, Contaminating and Polluting Waters of Lake. OPPOSES GRANTING INJUNCTION Company Claims That to do so Would Mean Closing of Mine Putting Many Out of Work. Saturday a somewhat novel and rather interesting case from a legal standpoint which is pending in dist- trict court, came up for preliminary hearing before Judge Stanton. The plaintiff, John Munter, resides on the shore of Swan Lake, an at- tractive Itasca county summer resort, ‘and he brings this action in behalf of ‘himself and neighboring owners and occupants of summer cottages to re- strain the Wisconsin Steel company, an iron ore mining concern at Nash- ‘wauk, from so operating 1ts washing and concentrating plant as to dis- color, contaminate and pollute the water in Swan lake. b Vicor Power, the well known Hib- 'bing attorney, represents the plain- tiff and the mining company has Baldwin and Baldwin, the Duluth law firm, as its advisor. It is urged that the granting of the injunction would compel the discon- tinuance of the operation of a large mine which now provides support for many families; and on the other hand it igcontended that to permit present tive fify miles of beauiful lake shore ‘[and render valueless summer resort property of much worth. The hearing is to be resumed be- fore Judge Stanton on July 7. BRUSH FIRE CAUSES ALARM Frame Buiding in Danger—Children are Warned. Firemen were aroused at 1:15 this afternoon in response to an alarm sent in from the vicinity of Mississippi avenue and Tenth street where a brush fire wsa rapidly spreading to- ‘wards some frame buildings. The department made short work of ex- tinguishing the blaze and no dam- age was done. Several accidents were narrowly averted this noon when small children were allowed to gather in the streets and on the side walks ‘when teams, automobiles and bicycles were rushing to the fire. These chil- dren do not appear to be aware of the danger in ‘which' they are placing themselves and if the parents do not keep them from = staying in the streets and on the sidewalks at times of fire soon some serious accident will undoubtedly be the Tesult.: One small boy was knocked down and slightly scratched on Irvine avenue - shortly after the alarm sounded and it was only by a lucky incident that the re- sults did not prove more serious.

Seven to Three Score—Trip Made in Automobiles. Adding a second defeat to their list the “Big Bemidg” baseball team was bumbled by the fast Grand Rapidy nine yesterday afternoon by a score of 7to 4. The game was one of the most closely played by either team this year and was featured with spectacu- lar plays including a home run and several double plays. Bemidji led until the eighth in- ning when with three men on bases, Bentz, pitcher for the opponents, tapped out a four base hit over the ,right fielder’s head making the score 17 to 4 in their favor. No more scores were made during the rest of the game by either team although Bem- idji had three men on bases and only one out, By clever work the pitched fanned one man and allowed the last batter a small infield grounder which was quickly disposed of, ending the game. Bailey brothers, Earl on third base and Claude in left field, were in the game all the time. At fielding they were not exceled by players on either team and their batting was good.

With two men on bases.a Grand Rapids played knocked a high ball out to left field and which ithe local players and fans disputed was on the left side of the foul line.
