They report that they were not looking for buttons especially so they continued on to Burlington, Iowa, where they repaired the canoe. They passed through the locks of the Keo- kuk dam, the largest dam on the Mis- sissippi, and reached Quincy about 11:30 last Fridav night. Just be- low Quincy and about 12 miles abov Hannibal they met with the accident that put the final crimp in their trip. “The majority of the people treat- ed us fine,” says Koors, “but, of course, we ran into a few hard ones. We advertised Bemidji and Northern Minnesota every time we saw any- body to talk to, and believe us, the people down that way know that there is some place up here now. We told of the wonderful lakes, the good fishing, the summer resorts and the advantages, and possibilities of this community.

He explained somewhat in detail the method being used in making the soil survey and explained its value. “The peat lands of Bel- trami county will be yielding large returns to their owners when properly developed, but they will have to be farmed differently from other land,” said Dr. Alway. | In the afternoon, Messrs. Chase,| Smith, Holmberg and Alway were| taken over the site of the proposed| state park at the head of Lake Be- midji. All were very favorably im-| pressed and so expressed themselves. That it would be a crime to have the virgin stand of pine on the park site cut down was agreed by all. The state officia’s were the guests of a mumber of the association members at dinner at Birchmont, after which they were driven around Lake Be- midji. The soil survey is progressing fa- vorably, according to the officials, and they made it very plain that Bel- trami county secured the first survey work for the reason that it was here that the greatest activities were be- ing carried on in land clearing and land development.

The trip will not be made in old- fashioned “prairie schooners” but in automobiles, each equipped with a trailer to provide sleeping and cook- ing accommodations.

D., banker and for 28 years a prominent resident of the state, declared this morning to the United Press when asked for a statement in regard to the charge made against him in federal court. Mr. Beinster was arrested and ‘brought before Judge Omdeon on a charge of making a false entry in banking books. He entered a plea of not guilty and was released on $5,- 000 bonds. The specific charge de- veloped that Mr. Beinster’'s name ap- pearéd as among those present at two meetings of the stock-holders and di- rectors of the First National Bank of Towner, N. D., when in reality it was alleged he was not there. This bank has been-closed for some time. Mr. Beinster was indicted on two counts by the July grand jury by Col. Hildreth, United States District Attorney. According to Col. Hildreth the evidence was obtained in an in- vestigation in which secret service men were employed. “T am not charged with taking any moneys, wrecking any banks, de- frauding any persons or institutions, nor have I been accused of defalca- tion,” Mr. Beinster declared. *“I have never in my; life harmed or de- trauded any bank or institution,” he said.
