OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS T S e e e P e A UV S BT s THE TIDEWATER PROJECT. The Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Tidewater commission, which meets at Minneapolis, May 18 to 29 and at Duluth, May 21 and 22, will bring before the public of Northern Minnesota one of the most important matters that has ever’ occupied the -attention of this great middle west section of the United States. The proposed plan of establishing a water 'channel> from Duluth to the Atlantic ocean sufficiently deep to admit the passage of ocean-going boats is one that vitally affects every community from, Duluth’ and Fort William to the Pacific coast, both on the Canadian and American sides of the forty-nineth parallel. | Organized opposition is already being'felt from the large eastern and Atlantic seaboard cities. New York and Buffalo are strongely opposed to ‘such - a waterway as it is thought it would mean the diverting of a great channel of traffic from the path it has followed for years. In the event of the establishment of the deep water-way no doubt much of the freight now un- loaded at Buffalo transferred to the Atlantic cities by rail and again transferred to ocean boats would be diverted. But what of it? The welfare of the country at large is much more important than the welfare of a few of these large cities, and the experience of large shippers in' the northwest for the last five years has been such as to welcome THE BEMIDJI DAILY.

EDUCATIONAL MEAT BUYING Those precursors of the millennium who advocate the abolition of the death penalty will find few recruits in the ranks of the American Legion as’long as such brothers in good standing of the I. W. W. as John Lamb, Eugene Barnett, O. C. Bland, Ray Becker, Britt Smith, James McInerney and Bert Bland remain unhung. Four American Legion men fell before the cow- ardly volley these murderers delivered from am- bush on the peaceful Armistice Day paraders at Centralia, Wash. Their innocent victims—our npartyred comrades—are under the sod, which is® l greening to the pulses of the first soft winds of spring.” Warren Grimm, Arthur McElfresh, Ben I Casagranda and Dale Hubbard are dead. They died for their country as sure'ly as our dead in [ France died for it. Their murderers live; in prison at present, it is true, but prison has become a sort of second home for an I. W. W.. ; . If our hearts are hard at the thought we have only to reflect to discover the reason why. .The eye-for-an-eye days are.not far behind us; the days when it was trench for trench, shot for shot, life for life. If our thoughts are bitter we have only to recall memories of the buddies of other recent days—great days, who can forget them?—buddies who sleep over yonder. If our hearis are hard and our thoughts bitter, it is because it is not the civilians of today who speak to you, but the soldiers of yesterday who speak.—American Legion. —_— From the issue of the Beltrami Eagle of Friday, September 4, 1896, we copy the following inter- esting item regarding the erection of the first church in Bemidji. This was the Presbyterian - church. “Bermidji is going to have a church. The lot _on Minnesota avenue has been cleared and most of the lumber is on the ground and the contract let to Titus' & Chenney, who will commence work at once. W . _ “The edifice will Be 30 ft. by 42 ft. and it will " be well finished both on the exterior and interior. ' The interior will be handsomely finished, and the ceiling, which is to be fourteen feet high, will be arched. In the southeast corner of the building will be a vestibule which will be formed by the steeple tower. The steeple will be fifty-three feet high.. The structure when completed will be a great credit to this city, in fact it would give credit to a city many times larger than Bermidji. “The building is being erected by the Presby- The question was raised by the railroad administration. lost in the: L. 8. circuit court of ap- peals, Subscribe for the Ploneer.

Each year the conditions have been growing worse until it has terian society and in the direct work of Rev. G. G.

Lahr, Clerk Phone 93 ————————————————— hecome a part of the traffic man’s yearly program . to start worrying about shortage of cars as soon as the grain and coal begin moving in the fall. The remedy of at least a large part of this trou- ble will be found in the ability of the ocean-going Doats to land their cargo destined for the middle west and.west at the Duluth terminals, and also to be able to load their outgoing cargoes at' these inland terminals and without further transfer carry them: through the great lakes out to the ocean for their final destination. . This will also mean a tremendous saving in freight. rates and will release thousands of freight cars for other traffic where they are so sorely needed. ~ On May, 21, Bemidji will have the opportunity to place before the commissioners at Duluth their stand in the matter, and as a means of getting the expressién of .the industrial, commercial and agri- " cultural interests it has been asked that we present our report under the following heads: “Increased Production,” .“Development of Resources,” “Ex- tension of Trade” and “Reduction of Transporta- tion Cost.” If the great northwest is to overcome the opposi- tion of the eastern interests to this plan there must be a unity of effort and it is up to Bemidji and every other community to get, behind Duluth in every way possible to present the strongest arguments to the commission that can be presented. PRESS COMMENTS—THAT'S ALL (By EXCEANGE EDITOR) NO HARM, SAYS JUDGE. The freeborn right of mere man to stare at a pretty ankle has been given the dignity of a judicial opinion. Magistrate Corrigan entered this decision on the court records when he discharged Harold New, a piano man, charged . with disorderly conduct by two young women for having stared. “Is that all he did?” asked the magistrate. “Yes, but he stared at my—" one girl said amid blushes. “There’s no grounds for the charge in that,” said the magistrate, freeing New.—Exchange.

SPORT NEWS _ IS FULL OF PROMISE By Jack Veiock R (International News Sport Editor) New York, April 12.—The bell will ring in the big leagues mnext Wednesday. After more than a month of hard spring training below the Mason- Dixon line, the regulare and rookies of the sixteen major league clubs are today making tracks for the scenes of the opening games, and: the curtain will go up on what promises to:be the most successful baseball season since 1912. . ’ #:Club owners and players alike will start this season with condidence. : Rg'fpg_llns of “uncertainty-in-some - ere: that' prevalled: at-this time iast season has been blotted out, for 1919 saw baseball do'a remarkable come back from war-time conditions. But . 1920 holds forth the brightest [promises ever. i The Reds and White Sox, cham- pions of ‘the National and American Leagues, will start the season with their backs to the wall, so to speak, fighting to retain the homors they won last year. In the case of the Reds it appears that the fight will me made with somé grounds for con- fidence. With the Sox it is different. It is whispered that harmony is not over-abundant among some of the Sox players. Their lax spirit in the recent world’s series would seem to indicate that something is wrong. Then, if the holdouts refuse to capit- ulate, a team that is reported to be weakened already in morale will have much more to contend with, for fill- ing the shoes of three veteran players is anything but a cinch. Furthermore the Sox pitching staff is a big ques- tion mark this year. So the outlook for Commy’s boys is cloudy. Moran’s Reds will have mo cake- walk down the National League trail. They will beé. preased by the Cubs, Giants, Pirates, Dodgers and Cardi- nals, "it. present And that will be some pressing. The National League race last sea- son was a three-club- affair most of the way and a. two-club tango at the finish. But it will be something else agaln this summer. It looks like a great race in John Heydler’s loop. In the American League the Indi- ans, Yankees and Browns, . not to mention Detroit, will start out to feed ‘heel dust to the White Sox from the tapping of the gong. The Speakerites look like a ‘great ball club.on paper. The Yankees ought to make a barrel of trouble for all comers, and the Browns and Tigers will be heard from. Washington, too, may surprise her rivals. The Red Sox and Ath- Jetics are not keeping rival managers awake nights. TAX TEST CASE ON * U, 8.
