WASECA COUNTY The Sioux waseca, or wa- sheca, has been defined as “rich, especially in provi- sions.” The name was first applied to the earliest farm- ing community in the county, in 1855, probably on account of the fertility of the soil, and later was transferred to the city which grew up near the original settlement. The county was given the same name on its establishment in 1857. The word is accented on the second syllable, and the ‘“‘a’s” are sounded as in “father.” dohk ko ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ko Kxh KKk Aok h ok Rk ok k ok ko ko k ok ok ok k ok ok kK KR KK KKK K KKK KK THAT ODOR. No, Bemidji is not in the vieinity of a slaughter house. No, Mr. Property Owner on Lake Boulevard, you are mistaken, there is no dumping ground in front of your property, at least there should not be. The odor that you smell morning, noon and night is from sea weed, dead fish, ete., which has been pock- eted along the lake shore by boat houses. Complaints are being made daily by persons along Lake Boulevard on account of the odor. That it is un- healthy is certain. Yet no action has been taken. Several weeks ago the city coun- cil ordered all Loat houses removed. Later this action was decided against and the board of health was given power to act. Last year the city spent several hundred dollars keeping the lake shore clean near the boat houses so as to get rid of that odor. The city will have to spend the same amount each year unless the boat houses are removed or their owners see that the shore mear their house is kept clean. Some action must be taken imme- diately. City authorities and the board -of health should -get together and find a remedy for this outrage to property owners along Lake Boule- vard. ROAD MAINTENANCE. What is road maintenance? We think if this question were asked every town board or board of county commissioners in the state of Min- nesota we would probably have as many different answers as there are boards. We have interviewed several and asked them why they did not maintain ‘their roads, and were: told, in almost every instance, that they |’ were maintaining: their roads, and as |- proof ‘would show us spots here and |- there where a load of gravel had|: been dumped or where the road had been newly graded for a short dis- tance. That isn’t road maintenance; that’s road repairing. The only place we know of in the state where a systematic road main- tenance is employed is by the Auto- mobile Club of Minneapolis on the different near-town roads, and the only place where they have really employed a real system of mainten- ance is on Lyndale avenue south, be- yond the city limits, leading to the Automobile Country club. Of course, with its limited amount of funds, it would be impossible to put road maintenance crews on every road, but the work they are doing on roads other than Lyndale is worthy of very favorable comment. As a result of the maintenance on Lyndale avenue south, that road is the best ten-mile stretch of gravelled road in the state. The club hires two teams, two driv- ers and an extra man with full equip- ment and the business of this crew 8 to look after Lyndale avenue and nothing more, and they do it to a nicety. Might we offer the suggestion that each town board in the state set aside sufficient funds to hire a real main- tenance crew on the mostly traveled road in their district. Give the crew the proper machinery and hold that crew responsible for the proper up- keep of that particular road. Mind you, they are not to put a lick onto any other road, just the road they are hired for. Under this system, how long do you think it would be before we had a fed travelable roads in our beautiful state of 10,000 lakes, with scenery that will equal anything in the Northwest? — Sparks, published by the Minnesota State Automobile Association. THE SPEED MAN IAC All men should lift their feet and kick against the cheerful lunatie, who gives his car no end of power and burns up sixty miles an hour. ‘We see him whiz by our abodes; we meet him on the country roads; he kills our geese and cats and dogs, and spoils our Poland China hogs. ‘We are with terror stricken dumb, when we behold the monster come, and climb a tree a furlong high, to save ourselves, 'till he goes by. He scorches through the country towns and runs the leading grocer down, and scares the local merchant prince and no regret does he evince. Then comes a driver safe and sane, who has not speed upon the brain; he am- bles by the village at fifteen modest miles on hour. The villagers are sad and sore; they’ve found speeding is a bore, and now they're looking for a goat; they seize the driver by the throat and take him to the dun- geon keep, where he may gnash his teeth and weep. They fine him forty-seven wheels, with+trimmings added, so he feels, when he’s per- mitted to withdraw, there surely ought to be a law. This happens every day or three; the criminal too oft goes free, while motorists who’d not offend must pay the fiddler in the emd.—Walt Mason in C. A. C. Journal. WARNING ! Bathers, take heed to this warn- ing. Yesterday several small boys nar- rowly escaped drowning when they ventured to swim on the, south side of Diamond Point. On the south side of Diamond Point there is a deep “step-off” and it is dangerous for a poor swimmer to swim on this side. The proper place for bathing is north of Diamond Point. If every bather would take heed to this warning Bemidji- will go through this season with a small number of accidents. Take heed! The Jefferson highway from New Orleans to Winnipeg will be a monu- ment to the man who purchased the young republic all the country tra- versed by this highway and west. of it to the Pacific ocean.

But England isn’t so touchy on that point as she used to be. She has learned lots of things from Germany in the last two years. Why, they even make Frank- furter sausages right here in London these days, and serve them with Teu- tonic-style potato salad and sauer- kraut. Germany began robbing darkness in favor of daylight on May 1, by setting all the clocks in the empire ahead an hour. Great Britain fol- lowed by doing the same thing. On October 1 the clocks will be turned back again. There is a yearly gain of 155 hours of useful dayhght equivalent to 17 working days of 9 hours each. Gas bills are much lower, both in the home and in the factory. The total yearly saving in this item alone is estimated at $12,500,000. Railway companies will save about $500,000 a year in cost of lighting, and will benefit by increased passen- ger traffic.
