They get some money from a regular salary and move into a room somewhere else—usually up on Russiun Hill, where they can put on a bit of dog, and have the same view of the Golden Gate, only be standing on a carpet at the time. “Then the other class, the ones that have money—come down here for a time and paint roof-tops, and the bay the sloppy children across the way, or some Sicilian busy-mak- ing his yearly wine on the back stoop, and then take all the canvasses end go down to Carmel-by-the-Sea svi wue waiier, where they exhibit them, and toy with thd teacups be- fore a fireplace in comfort. “These Bohemians in a few weeks get stuff strewn from one end of the place to the other, and besides that are slow in paying their rent. The writers are worse than the art- ists about paying their rent. The artists can always do a bit of com- mercial work, but masterpiece nov- els seem kind of a drug on the mar- ket, but you can’t get the authors to lay down their _pens iong enough to go out and e car ads, or some- thing else that will bing in rent mon- ey. Wken the Bohemians leave, the place looks like a whirlwind had hit it—they don’t <dust from the time they get in to the time they get out. “The trouble is, San Francisco’s too much Bohemian—you find it everywhere—on the fringes of Nob Hill, on Russian Hill, on Telegraph Hill, way out on the Ocean, and all over the hills back of Berkerly—not to speak of Carmel.” TUBERCULOSIS DEATH RATE IS DECREASED (Continueu irom Page 1) The highest “adjusted” tuberculosis rate for 1921 is 173.8 per 100,000 population for the state of Cnlorado and the lowest is 37.7 per 100,000 population for the adjoining state of Nebraska. The high rate for Colorado is evidence not of unhealth- fulness of the climate, but of the attractiveness of the Colorado clim- ate to those afflicted with tubercu- losis. 8 For the sta with considerable colored pop ons, adjusted rates have been calculated separately for the white and colored populations. In this group of states the highest adjusted tuberculosis rates for white population is I15.7 per 100,000 for Kentucky and the highest adjusted rate for the colored population is 326.1 per 100,000 population for the same state. The lowest adjusted tu- berculosis rate for white population ig 55.7 for Mississippi and the low- est for the colored population is 169.7 per 100,000 popuMltion for Florida. DEMCNSTRATION GROUPS FORMED (Continued from page 1) Saturday, December 16th. This class is not limited in number and any one from these townships wish- ing to attend the meet):gs in Be- midji is welcome to do so. Clothing meetings s usual will begin at 10:30 and last until 4 or 5 o‘clock. Those attending are urged to bring their lunch and enjoy the day in their own community. The Home Management meetings are held from 2 to 5 o‘clock. BUSINESS MEN ADOPT SLOGAN (Continued from page 1) perity is to be mainiained, the true solution must be found. This con- vention is called with the hope and the expectation that its deliberations will contribute to this end.” Small quoted Vice-President Lee of the Pennsylvania as stating that the next revival of business probably would develop the most serious con- gestion of railroad traffic and the greatest inedequacy of railroad facil- lities exer experienced in the history of the country. Lee pictured busi- ness men in a panic and losing sight of rates in their clamor for service. Delegates to the convention de- clare it is folly for the country to place dependance “upon a single method of transportation”—the railroads—and urge immediate steps to increase water facilities. More good roads would assist in soiving the problem, they hold. They are GOOD! COLDEN GATE BOHEMIANS 'CLEMENCEAU IN CAPITAL 'TO PRESENT HIS CAUSE (Continued trom page 1) treaty came face to face today when Georges Clemenceau called upon Woodrow Wilson. Since the days when they helped remake the map of Europe, each has been repudiated by the electors of his country but is held in high esteem by, thousands of this fellow countrymen and thig visit is the most dramatic of any on all Clemenceau’s journey. Reputed personal. enemiey since the ideas of ' Clemenceau’s vested tho¥e of Wilson and those in turn were upset by the United States Senate, the two yet found a common cause—the return of America to Europe. Clemenceau, who, as Wilson once did, has taken his plea direct to the people today was in Washington to do what he can to win the official support for his plea. He called upon President Harding—a matter of formal courtesy—but he intimat- ed that he will not let the opportun- ity pass to press for assistance for his plan. But the meeting with Wilson was the one to which the ear of the country was attuned, the drama of the two elderly men. one broken in health because he did not listen to the warnings of his friends against spending his- strength fignting for his cause, the other scoffing at sim- ilar warnings to give his entire en- ergy to what he considers his coun- try’s salvation. The meeting was all the more strange because each stood for the same thing, world democracy, but seeking it in a different way, one through the American guarantee of sanctity of the Rhine against Ger man invasion, the other through the terms of the triparte treaty.

CLAIM LEPR{SY CURE HAS BEEN DISCOVERED (By United Press) San Francisco, Dec. 5.—FPhysi- cians are becoming increasingly con- fident that the recently-discovered chaulmoogra .oil treatment for lep- rosy will eventually rid the islands of the Pacific of that disease. It is in the South Seas and adjacent reg- ions that leprosy has its greatest hold. Added belief that this is the case was felt by physicians here with the news that 19 lepers at the Kalaupapa leper settlement in Hiwaii have been recommended for parole by physi- cians in charge of the colony. This is declared to be the first time in the history that actual re- commendation has been made that lepers be paroled. Parole means that the patient is on the way.to re- covery. For centuries leprosy has been listed as an incurable disease. The recommendation in the case of the Kalaupapa colony was made by Dr. W. J. Woodward, an expert on leprosy. The 19 patients In ques- tion all have been treated with injec- tions of the chaulmoogra specific for three years. The treatment is vol- untary. No leper is required to take it, as it still is regarded as somewhat in the experimental stage. Dr, Arthur Dean, president of the University of Hawaii, is credited with the discovery of the chaulmoo- gra oil treatment: MiSS MAAG’S MOTHER DIES VERY SUDDENLY SATURDAY Miss Martha Maag. employed at the Abstract Office, went to her home about four miles from Puposky to spend the week end, and had been there but a short time Saturday when her mother was suddenly taken very ill and passed away before med- ical aid could be secured. J. P. Lahr, ag deputy coroner was called to the home Sunday and found that she ‘had complained some in the af- ternoon of cold hands and feet, but had ecaten a good supper, and about an hour afterwards was taken with a fainting spell from which she did not recover. The coroner’s jury de- cided that death was due to heart failure. Funeral services will be in charge of ‘M. E. Ibertson, funeral director.

Harold Knutson of the Sixth Minnesota district announces from Washington that he has been fortu- nate in securi g a limited number: of sets of the complete report of the Joint Commission on Agricultur- al Inpuiry. This report contains much valuable information pertain- ing to farm conditions and railroad rates on farm productg and is a re- port that will be especially valuable to farm owners and operators. “So long as my quota holds out. I shall be pleased to send a copy of the report to anyonc requesting it,” adds Rep. Knutson, SUBSCRIBE FOR THE PIONEER (Continned _trom | uy_issue) —_— e e . . . Dad, what does it' mean, this surveying around Forlorn River?” “I don't know, Nelk” replied Beld- ing, thoughtfully. “It worries, me. It looks good for Forlorn River, but bad for Dick’s plan to irrigate the valley. Lord, I'd hate to have some one fore- stall Dick on that!” . \“No, no, we won't let anybody have Dick’s rights,” declared Nell. “Where have I been keeping myself not to know about these surveyors?” muttered Belding. “They must have Just come.” Belding discovered that he was, in- deed, the last man of consequence in Forlorn River to learn of the arrival of Ben Chase and son, mine owners and operators in Somcra. They, with a force of miners, had been besieged by rebels and finally driven off their property. This property was not de- stroyed, but held for ransom. And the Chases, pending developments, had packed outfits and struck for the bor- der. Casita had been their objective point, but, for some reason which Belding did not learn, they had ar- rived instead at Forlorn River. It had taken Ben Chase just one day to see the possibilities of Altar valley, and in three days he had men at work. Belding returned home without go- ing to see the Chases and their oper- ations. He wanted to think over the situation. Next morning he went out to the valley to see for himself. Mex- lcans were hastily erecting adobe houses upon Ladd’s one hundred and sixty acres, upon Dick Gale's, upon Jim Lash’s and Thorne’s, There were men staking the valley floor and the river bed. That was sufficient for Belding. He turned back toward town and headed for the camp of these intruders. He came to a big tent with a huge canvas fly stretched in front, under which sat several men.in their shirt sleeves. They were talking and smok- ing. “My name’s Beldlng I want to see this Mr. Chase,” said Belding, gruffly. Slow-witted as Belding was, and ab- sorbed in his own feelings, he yet saw plainly that his advent was disturbing to these men. One of them, a tall, rugged man with sharp face and shrewd eyes and white hair, got up and offered his hand. “I'm Chase, senior,” he said. “My son Radford Chase is here somewhere. You're Belding, the line inspector, I take it? I meant to call on you.” He seemed a rough-and-ready, loud- spoken man, withal cordial enough. “Yes, I'm the inspector,” replied Belding, ignoring the proffered hand, “and I'd likke to know what in the h—1 you mean by taking up land claims—staked ground that belongs to my rangers?” “Land claims?” slowly echoed Chase, studying his man. “We're tak- ing up only unclaimed land.” “That's a lie. You couldn’t miss the stakes.” “Well, Mr. Belding, as to that, I think my. men did run across some staked ground. Rut we recognize only squatters. Iff your rangers think they've got property just because they drove a few stakes in the ground they’re much mistaken. A squatter has to build a house and live on his land so long, according to law, before he“owns it.” and Belding knew it. “According to law!" exclaimed Belding. “Then you own up, you've jumped our claims.” “Mr. Belding, I'm a plain business man. I come along. I see a good opening. Nobody seems to have ten- able grants. I stake out claims, locate squatters, start to build. It seems to me your rangers have overlooked cer- | taln precautions. That's unfortunate for them. I'm prepared to hold my claim and to back all the squatters who work for me. If you don't like it' you.can, carry the matter to Tucson. The Jaw will uphold me.” “The law? Say, on this southwest border we haven't any law except a man'’s word and a gun,” “Then you'll find United States law has icome along with Ben Chase,” re- plled the other, snapping his fingers. “You're not a westerner?” queried Belding. “No, I'm from Illinois.” “I thought the West hadn’t bred you. I know your kind. You'd last a long time on the Texas border; now, wouldn’t you? You're one of the land and water hogs that has come to root in the West. Mr. Chase, the West would fare better and last longer if men like you were driven out.” “You can't drive me out.” “I'm nogsso sure of that. my rangers come bacl.” Watt til CUIAPTER XIV A Lost Son. _Time pnssed. _The_population of This argument was unanswerable, | THEBEMIDJI. DAILY: PIONEER BESI' ERT GOI.D ZANE Huthoe of Riders om-emmlosqa GREY “Mr. Chase, the West Would Fare Better and Last Longer If Men Like You Were Driven Out.” Forlorn' River grew apace. Belding, who had once been the head of the community, found himself a person of little consequence. Even had he de sired it he would not have had any voice in the selection of postmaster sheriff, and a.few other officials. The Chases divided their labors between Forlorn River and their Mesican gold mine, which had been restored to them. The desert trips between these two places were. taken in automobiles A month’s time made the motor cars almost as familiar a sight in Forlorn River as they/had been In Casita be- fore the revolution. Belding’s wrath. at the usurptng Chases increased as he slowly realized his powerlessness to cope .with such men. They were promoters, men of big interests and wide influence in the Southwestr»The more they did for Forlorn River - the less reason there seemed to be for his own grievance. He had to admit that it was personal; that he and Gale and the rangers wduld never have been able to develop the resources of the ‘valley as these men were doing it. April arrived with no news of the rangers. From Casita came vague re- ports of raiders in the Sonoyta coun- try—reports impossible to verify until his Mexican rangers returned. When these men rode in, one of them, Gon- zales, an intelligent and reliable half- breed, sald he had met prospectors at the oasis. They had just come In on the Camino del Diablo, reported a ter- rible trip of heat and drought, and not a trace of the Yaqul's party. “That settles it,” declared Belding. “Yaqui never went to Sonoyta. He's circled round to the Devil's road, and the rangers, Mercedes, Thorne, the horses—they—I'm afraid they have been lost in the desert. Tt's an old story on Camino del Diablo.” He had to tell Nell that, and it was an ordeal which left him weak. Mrs. Belding listened to him, and was silent for a long time while she held the stricken Nell to her breast. Then she opposed bis convictions with that quiet strength so characteristic of her arguments. “But mother, .they're gone seven weeks. Seven weeks! At the most 1 gave them six weeks.
