The time to complete 1s fixed at four years from the passage of the act.” This bijl w.s undoubtedly introduc- ed at the request of the local business men in the project as it was apparent that the first bill providing for the construc- tion of the dem could not be com- | plied with, as it required that work be commenced within one year from the time the bill was passed by congress. Although most of the preliminary work has been done, there are still matters to be cleared up before work be commenced. Chief among the who have interested themselves can these is ascertaining exactly amount of available pulp timber there is standing i this vicinity.

THE SPRING IMMIGRATION. fracus at Bemiulji: “Lhe opening of Bemidji’s new vanety theater on Mon- day night was attended by a shooting affray—a murder. Renny Moore was shot and killed by R. J. Whipple, of Solway. From the conflicting reports the following from persons who came direct from there 1s about the way the Last year the |"ragedy came about: Whipple is a saloon keeper from > olway, a man over six feet tall and very powerfull, and as has been said by those who know him— “his long suit is the gun.” Benny Moore, a small man, was a_ bartender at the S lversack saloon. The Variety is m the rear of a saloon, the bar and ticket officé being in the satue room. While the play was going on Whipple and Moore got into an_ altercation over something, both being under the influence of liquor. and Whipple at- tempted to strike or slap Moore, but Moore avoided him and Whipple fol- lowed and struck him; then struck Whipple in the mouth with his Moore gressive farmers, At his place near Laprairie he has raised nearly every- thing ‘that Itasca soil is capable of producing, but has not stopped there. His success in poultry and dairy stock 1s well known. In the spring he pro- poses to go into business on even a larger scale, the new venture being nothing less than a _ co-operative county stock association. The aim and intention of this: organization, Mr, Mantson informs the Her.ld Re- view, will be about as follows: Barns, Stables and poultry houses will be erected and stocked as fast as the com- pany is able todo so with blooded cattle, hogs, sheep and poultry of every description. This stock will be sold to farmers who may desire to in- crease their holdings in these com- modities, and the products of that not disposed of will be turned into money among our merchants here in town. Should Mr. Manston make a success of hve his project—as he seems certain he will — fist and knocked out his false teeth. | —it will prove of great benefit to the Waen this is com- SEAR EE Re a ate ae ate ae SEE eae Re ate EAN ASE EE ate ae aE ae a te ate ate ae ae eae ate ae 4 HF HAD ee ae yet to be done. ‘ Our Local Land Agents Already Preparing ees annem 2 ee eae a * = % = * eS ti % % & & ad = & % od Bs 08 aS ate AS ate tte 08 ae ae ae ae stk ab ate ae ate ate ate he ate oe alk he ae ate ae ee ae se ae SEE AF agh ae SBR A AE ae ake a aE ae ae a abe ae aie te age ab atk ae ae DE eh ae Oh a eae ae EA EE Affair a De hors est ty sk are the ¢ the very be anc est that money ean buy. dsce them belcre buying Hand Sleds for the Kid for oll kinds of ki y with a sied of their sring in the And see as about noice Ammunition Shells, Etc. before von go hunting. goods in the country.

Any- one’ who knows Mr. Cook.and’ his hospitable cannot help but receive the warmest kind of welcome at any time and last night was no exception to the rule.

They took tie matter under advisement about a week ago, hearing the arguments of the railroad representatives as to why this advance was necessary to the making of a pro- fit on the hauling of lumber. They have come to the decision that the advance is not needed by the roads, and hence it will not apply to points in the state. It will hold however to points beyond the state line. While this action on the part of the railroad commission does not greatly affect the lumber traffic, it isin its way a matter of satisfaction to lumbermen, who thought they were paying their proportion of tribute to the railroid:, It shows also that the state has a com- mission that proposes to show its authority sin a more substantial way than by merely criticising the roads.— Mississippi Valley Lumberman. Misstatement Corrected. It woud be decidedly aggravating to the Herald Review should it ever, under; any circumstances, make an untrue statement concerning a living man, but it is doubly aggraviting to have done so toward a dead man, When last week we stated that Philip Binsfield, the Laprairie citizen who was run over and killed by a freight train, was intoxicated, we thought we had stated the truth, for we had been informed that such was the case. We have since discovered, that we did the dead man a grave in- justice by so stating, it, being totally unfounded, and we hasten at the first opportunity to make this correction. : Something New.
