OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS THE BOY SCOUT CAMP The Boy Scout camp on Movil lake is going to prove one of the best investments ever made for the boys of ]?:e_xmdn. The investment so far has been small to most of the c'ltlzens.of Be- midji. Those who are with the boys and are giving their time for the boys are the ones who are making the sacrifice, and yet, 5o far as we have learned, there is not one of the officers of the camp who is not giving of his tinie wjllix)gly and enjoying his outing with the boys. The responsibility is,also big. To be re- sponsible for sixty or seventy boys for a week, around a camp and a lake, is not a small responsibility, yet so wgll has t}.\e work been divided up and so well are the boys yielding qbedlence to their officers that no accidents or other gerious mishaps have taken place. Both officers and boys are to be con_gratulntgd. The boys are learning much. They are learning obedience, they are learning self-control and above all they are learning the value of a clean life mentally, morally and physically, and they. are supremely happy. ‘What more could be done for them? S . The camp this year is only a beginning. The boys are just having a taste of what a camp life for a vacation means to _them, and, if we mistake them not, they are going to be thg blggest boosters for a bigger and better camp next year. _Tlps brings us to what we intended to say at the beginning of this little talk. Provision should be made for the acquiring of a permanent camp site for the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts and other similar organizations who would use it each summer for camp pur- poses. . The time to think about this is now and not next year a week or so before camp is to start. A set of small permanent cabins could be built by the Scouts during fall aqd winter and the grounds at all times kept in condition for outing and camp parties, . Let’s look around for a permanent site and start a movement to secure it. — THE RESERVATION ALLOTMENT The movement, which is on foot to have the ten or eleven townships of the Red Lake Indian reservation on the western side opened for allotment and settlement, is meeting with favor wherever it is being considered.. Due to differences among the Indians themselves, this section of the reservation, which is one of the most fertile sections of either Beltrami or Clearwater counties, has been kept from being opened up' either to the Indians or others. It is now proposed to have the Indians al- lotted their portions and what is left to be opened. for sale by thegnterior Department and the proceeds placed in the Indian funds. These townships are north of Gonvick, Clearbrook and Leopard, and, if settled, would greatly increase the territory of agricultural land tributary to those towns, It would also help Beltrami county in trade and in land valuation for assessment purposes. With such a fertile tract of land' lying idle when so much of it could be put under cultivation and grazing so easily, much of the territory properly belonging to Beltrami and Clear- If congress will favorably consider the opening of this land through its Interior Department there will be a large in- rush of settlers into that district immediately. it THOSE SOUTHERN MINNESOTA GOOD ROADS We have looked over the proposed work to be done on the Babcock system of highways, and, which we understand, will total considerably over $5,000,000, but we didn’t see anything that spelled like Bemidji. Of course, we are sorry. We really thought they had a lot of good roads in the southern part of the state, The people who come up here from that section of the state always seem to take a lot of satisfaction out of telling us what fine roads they have down their way. All the roads are good down there, so they have told us, so'wé thought when the money started circulating on. the Babcock system, perhaps up this way, there might be a chance to fix some of our rotten roads, as our southern neighbors please to call them, with some of the money, Looking at the maps showing the proposed trunk high- ways and the amount of work to be done down south, it looks as xfithey are going to have the good roads they have told us about and the money for some more. Oh, well, we always have been €asier to satisfy up this way. Give the boys what they want down south and keep them quiet. 2 SR ‘APPRECIATION F}'om reports received from the firemen’s convention at In- ternational Falls, it would appear that our city secured some very valuable advertising by sending the two bands of the city to help them celebrate and entertain their visitors. They have said they appreciated them very much-and we believe them. We appreciate their appreciation. The boys say they had a good time and that nothing seemed too good for them. The band boys have a warm spot in their hearts for the Intrenational Falls and Fo.rt Francis people. G. Oliver Riggs, director, also reports splendid cgnduct on the part of the juveniles, We are also glad to hear this. It is the boys’ first experience away from home and that they were in good hands is assured. e FEDERATION OF LABOR HEARS HOWATT FIGHT iy (By United Press) ° Denver, June 17. (By J. L. Sulli- van.)---The fight of Alexander How- att against the Kansas Industrial \court was brought before the national conference of the American Federa- on of Labor here Thursday. W. E. Fireeman, pregident of the Kansas City federation of "labor, told of his call for the unfon men of Kansas to take a vacation:to atténd the trial of Howatt which starts June 27 at Columbus, Kansas. Howatt, presi- dent of the mine warkers union in Kansas is accused of violating the rules of the industrial court---a fel- ony. Testimony to be presented at the trial to show conspiracy to de- stroy labor oganizations is back of Howatt’s prosecution, Freeman said.

By EDWARD B. CLARK. Washington.—Germany’s acceptance of the reparations terms imposed by the allled governments, it i3 belleved in ‘Washington, was due unquestionably to the diplomatic intervention of the United States which, without consent- ing fn any wily to act as mediator, advised Germany to confer with the' allles agaln and to agrea to pay to the limit of its ability. Thete are men in high places, not partisans, who say freely that if the TUnited States had not done what it did Germsany still would be holding out, the French probably would be in control of the Ruhr industries, and blacker trouble. still' would be ahead. Al this Is as: it-may be, but the re- sult of the German acceptance of the payment terms means that the United States instantly will start at, the work of extending its foreign trade ahd of paving the way for what it belleves soon Wil be’ the stabilization of~eco- nomic conditions all over tlie world, except possibly in Russla and in one or two places in the East. Every branch of every department of government which is charged with such endeavor s to formulate at once plans for the extension of the foreign trade of the United States. Secretary of Commerce Hoover probably will come into his own agaln as an organ- izer and promoter, and, if he can be, the dellverer of the goods. The State department and the Commerce department have of neces~ sity been marking time !r the matter of trade extenslon. Study there has been of the problems of the future with a-viow to securing the fruits of the future, but until the German repara- tlons matter was settled there could be no active movement along business extension lines in the countries over- seas, Diplomatic Agents Get Busy. Every diplomatic agent of the United States, in whatever capacity he is serving, is today under instructions to give his government everything that he knows, or that he can find out, which.will be of assistance in the ex- tenslon of. our trade, and-in bringing economic stability to the world. The biggest stone in the way of the return to normal conditions has been removed by Germany's words: “We accept.” There is a Jong and still obscure path which leads to ultimate prosperity, but the United States seemingly is deter- mined to pursue it step by step until it reaches the port of normalcy, or, perhaps, the port of something better. Officials of the State “department have faith In the abllity of Germany speedily to re-establish herself on a basis of productiveness. If the Ger- mans do not work with a heart to bring about thelr ultimate salvation, they will give the lle to thelr past rec- ords. It has been said specifically in the Department of State that no one who understands what is in the Ger- man nation, when once its mind is made up and its course set, can doubt that at once it will bend every effort to secure that rehabilitation of indus- try necessary to pay its way and to glve its people paylng work. 8ix Months Tariff Bill. The six months emergency tariff bill, with its so-called anti-dumping clause, passed the United States senatte by a vote of 63 to 28 with the customs rates fixed by the house un- changed. This is the emergency tariff measure which met with the fate of a “pocket veto” at the last sesslon. It is called the six months bill because it 1s to be effective only for that length of time, when, the presumption is, the new general tarlff liw now belng frumed by the house ways and means committee will have been enacted with provisions to take the place of those Included in the emergency act. This bill provides increased rates of duty on wheat, corn, beans, tobacco, sugar, wool and wool manufactures, long staple cotton and cotton manu- factures, sheep, meats, peanuts,: pota- toes, cattle; rice and other farm and plantation products. The contenition is that the bill will ald the agriculturists of the country and its promotion has been based on this assumption. It may be that six months will'be sufficient to determine whether or not material benefit will come to the farmers from the enact- ment of the measure. There was strong opposition to the bill by all the Democrats in the senate except geven, and by one Republican, Senator Moses of New Hampstire, who voted with the minority. About the Control of Dyes. The emergency tariff measure con- taing an addition to the bill to provide for continued federal control of dye im- pottations. Opposition * senators charge that this dye addition will cre- ate a monopolistic control of the dye industry in: the United States, and ;| dye destiny. able. There s a story about this dye matter. When the war broke out the Ger- mans, because of their virtual control of the dye industry, were able to de- velop a chemical warfare service, oth- erwise known as' the gas and flame service; The Germans were strong in control of the world's chemical sup- plies: _M advance in this industry’ was fay greatér than that of any other '| country, and the: United: States, Eng- land and" Fratice were compelled: to 80 'to work to dévelop chemical re- search and to many could be ons, ke, Several ‘departments of government, including the army and navy,” have urged that the United States must; control what might be called its own It is sald that Ger- many today, although havings been largely disarmed, is in possesion of great quantities of one of the most deadly materials of warfare, gas of various kinds, and that she has also the means at hand to enter into suc- cessful competition with the world in all matters connected with dyes. Think It Will- Help' Farmers. It can be said today that the great- est Interest of senators and represen- tatlves in congress in this' measure is its probable effect on the agricultural industries. There are some spokes- men for the farmer who fear that the bill will not do all that it is expected to do, but in’the main the belief seems to be that it will be of material assist- ance to the industries which it is In- tended to benefit. “If the bill does not do what It 1s expected to do, its op- eration will enable the law makers to know what changes must be mado when the provisions of the measure, or parts of them, are incorporated In general tariff legislation. The tariff apparently never ceases from troubling. Tariff sessions of congress always are long sessions and things connected with the tariff direct- ly also have been productive of long sesslons, In the emergency tariff bill pro- vision is made to revalue all foreign currency. The revaluation will be based on the so-called buying rates of exchange as the financial interests serve bank of New York is named as the authoritative power in determin- ing such rates of buying. ' This bank, under the law, will. certify the rates to the secretary of the treasury. ure there is° what is called an antl- dumping paragraph:which is" intended to keep out of this country- foreign goods made .to be.sold cheaply and which it is held w endanger the manufacturing interests of the United States. X 4 U. S. May Take Mount Vernon. It is possible, haps _ probable, that one of the 187 6f a° recent gathering of members of the Masonic fraternity ~in'* Waghington - will : be that the Unltefl;ngfél_ “government will take over the George Washington estate at Mount!Vernon, care fof It, provide the rules for the admission of visitors, and generally assume its ad- ministration. Perlodically for years there have been complaints because an admission fee Is charged to the people When they visit' the: Mount Verdon shrine, for shrine it 1s and shrine it is called. It ought to be remembered, however, that it the admission fee had' not been charged Mount Vernon would: have been allowed to go to decay, and prob- ably might have passed into private hands for exploitation in ohe way or another. An association of American' women some years ago took Mount Vernon over. The women have cared for it, have kept it up, and have guarded it in every way, but it has been necessary, in order to supply the funds for up- keep and administration, to charge an admission fee to those who wish to enter the grounds and the house. When the Masons went down there to the number of a great many hun- dreds each one was compelled to pay the admission fee. It was not the price but the thought that people must pay to visit Mount Vernon that caused the visitors te urge that the United States government take over the care of the estate with its mansion house and the tomb of the Washington fam- ly. National Highway Proposed. Another proposal is that a great na- tional highway shall be constructed be- tween the city of Washington and Mount Vernon.

Mount Vernon lies about fifteen miles southeast of Wash- ington. The road thither lies through Alexandria, which has a great many historic buildings within its borders, including Christ church, where Wash- ingtop worshiped; the Masonic hall, wher® he attended the meetings, and other places of high interest. Thousands upon thousands of per- sons go to the Washington shrine every year -€ither by river boat, by trolley car or by automobile. The river ride 1s wonderfully beautiful. The highway suggestion, if it should be carried out, would make the land route perhaps Just as beautiful. At Mount Vernon there are two tombs, one known as the old tomb and’ the other as the new tomb, although aged enough to be called old. About ninety years ago there was an attempt’ made to enter the old tomb. It is said that a body was taken from within it, but this has been disputed. The at- tempt led: to- the construction of the new tomb nearer the house and the re- mains of George and Martha Wash- ington were removed to it and there they have been ever since, ’ ‘ASK THE POLICE!
