F. Wright, The Pioneer in its news columns pointed out' the large number of convictions registered against per- sons who had been indicted. This list of crimes ' was_no longer, not_so long as in many counties, than that of other communities and the crimes themselves were, genenlly speaking, of less grav- ity than those on trial In’ other courts. - It is interesting to note how times change, and for- the better, so far as Bemidji and Beltrami county is concerned. In the old days, when the north country was new and the principal lines of endeavor were saloons and sawmills, a judge knew he had been somewhere when a session of court had ended, and as for the prosecuting attorney— wel, if he had any idea of doing his duty, he saw to it that his life insurance was in good shape.be- fore the grand jury met. Now, so far as Bemidji is concerned, her citi- gens live so peaceable and so well within the law that transgressors are very much the exception, and where lawlessness once existed, there is law.and order to a degree that has brought merited tributes from 2!l parts of the state. Go where you will in .ota, and out, and you will find few cities the cmidji known so well und favorably as this dings have gone out far and wide that Be- a beautiful, progressive city of enterprise; on the shores of an especially 2t it is a city of homes and chur mous summer tourist hote.; is located h t prosperous farmers. Such is the Bemidji of today, and while we are , not saying anything about what it was yesterday, we can hazard a prediction at this time as to- what it will be tomorrow; it will be a city many times its present population, with its wholesale district the most pronounced outward evidence of the fact that, Ly location and endeavor it is entitled to be the_queen city of this part of the state. That is the Bemidji of tomorrow. This is not'a boast—it is a conclusion based on vhat already has been accomplished.. If, during our brief history, we have advanced to our present population approaching the 10,000 mark, we have a. right to feel that greater growth and greater. prosperity await us. 1 The session of court was a winner from the standpoint of convicting persons who have broken the Taw, but at the same time the record accom- plished is still more satisfying from the standpoint that !‘cmidji has earned her cherished reputation for © peace-loving, home-building, progressive com- munity. — ] HIST, THE PLESIOSAURUS! Hiat! X / ‘ Bolt the door; pull down the blinds. : A ‘perfectly good . Plesiosaurus is running at large—maybe. - Ples, you may ‘remember, is that cute little kit~ tenish creature about as long as a flat car, with a shape like a warped hippopotamus, plus the hea of a giraffe with the toothache. - It has' the dis- position of ‘a bootlegger, the hide of a politician and the appetite of a Frohn township hired man surrounded by buckwheat. cakes and maple syrup. It is a fine animal to read about in the natural history, but he is a bad baby to meet face to face. If he were to ever patty-cake a human being ‘with one of his two-ton paws, it would be almost as bad as being stepped on by a Chicago school marm, He is as dangerous as he is old, and he is so old that he had rheumatism when Noah built the ark. “You might think that if this animated hunk of destruction were minding its own business, that , puny man: would dolikewise:' But in these days of ‘influerida and: the income. tix; men:seem to havér i earning for’added means of destrue- it is that'he has sct himself about .to vamp: 7o some convenient zoo. Mr. Plesiosaurus ound like a county ‘seat in Ireland, but it it is located somewhere s inerd. & like Amers from home, An i exploror in Patzgonia, that is ng o white mart can do in Pats \ has been seen rpmiing, or ‘seampering, or hopping, or akipping, or whatever it s that Ples does when he!wishes to [ { | IS S t heard from in Patagenia, and Patagonin - = go thither from hither. This report started, scien- tists from-the Museum. of Namra‘. History in New York City, from the Ficld Muteum in Chicago and from Buenos Aires post haste after the Plesiosaurus. Should they actually succeed in ‘chumming up to Ples, the old boy can give them some interesting ‘< information, such, for instance, as what day in’the week the 13th day of March 7,000,000 B. C. came Yyon.: If Ples has kept his records straight with his ancestors he can answer the question wihtout bat- ting an eye, because from five million to ten mil- lion years ago the Plesiosaurus gang were carrying every precinct from Moscow to “Middle River.

Loring, known as the father of the * Minneapolis park system, died a few days ago. An- other 12 months and Mr. Loring would have been ©0 years old. That is a long time for a man to be on earth, and when the years are so fruitful as has been the case of Mr. Loring, it is & privilege grant-. ed but few persons. While Mr. Loring’s-activities for & more beautiful and therefore happier out- door life are best known in Minneapolis and in Redfield, California, the work he did in develop- ing parks and beautifying the landscape has been an insp'ration for other communities. This must especially be true in Minnesota where the smaller _communities, like Bemidji for instance, look upon the more ambitious efforts of the larger towns and in a restricted way go aheafl as best their means and resources will permit. ' By his activity, Mr. Loring has made more pop- alar out-of-door recreation spots. ‘He may have a shaft of granite piercing the skies, but, after.all, the finest monument in memory of his long and . useful life will be the merry laughter of romping rosy-cheeked children as they play in ‘the parks with' flowers round about and trees overhead that would not have been there as a playground for themselves and a recreation space for-their elders, but. for.the endeavors of Mr. Loring. He did his work well; he is entitled to lie down to pleasant dreams. 1 . —_—————— e WHAT OTHERS - SAY RED LAKE CONSERVANCY PROJECT Editor, Bemidji Pioncer:— I have just learned that the ergineers for the Red Lake Conservancy and Drainage Board have decided to recommend a maximum water level for Red Lake to be between 1,173 and 1,174 feet. That, in fact, means 1,174 feet. Is that low enough to successfully d that vast area in question? 1, for one. think that the maximum. should be worked out to begin with not to exceed 1,173, the channel ‘and work to be constructed accordingly. Then, if, after a thorough trial in a'few: years, it is found that the level could be raised without dam- age to the drainage, which certainly is the main purpose of the project, it would be an easy and not . very costly matter to make the necessary changes. % If it is constructed with a too high maximum level for practical, successful drainage, it would makes lots of trouble and heavy expense to lower the Jevel. . Think this over, all you who are concerned, and et all-those who have that decision in their hands know your honest opinion' in an effective manner! Saum, Minn. —PETER KROGSENG.

This improvement has: been ‘more marked- in the ast ten or fifteen years during which: time-the gtandzrd Oil Company (Indiana) has developed methods of manufacturing to eliminatethe dan- ger of lamp explosions. While the kerosene has been improved the devices for using it have remained unchanged. Recognizing the fact that the users. of Per- fection Kerosene were unable to get a maximum service from the oil they burncdb,vand realizing that the failure was due not to the ol but fo the devices, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) set jts ‘experts to work to find a better burner and a'more efficient chimney. | : B "These men, working with: the menufacturers of burners and- chimneys, have sucteeded in developing devices which incréased lagely the efficiency of the oil. : * The' Standard-Oil Compgny (Indianay does not sell lamps...
