COMMITTEE Dates For Firemen’s Tourtaments Mext Summer Decided Upon Last Wednesday Night. The meeting of the exective com- mittee of the Northern Minnesota Firemen’s Tournament association was held in Cass Lake Wednesday and was one of the most successful Meetings of that body in the history of the associatton. ‘The. members of Cass Lake fire department had made extensive preparations to properly entertain the visiting firemen, and they proved most excellent hosts. Lydick hall was engaged for the Occasion and a goodly supply of re- freshments were put in the hall for the use of the participants m the Meeting. There peresident G W- Mulligan, of Eveleth, ex-Presidents George Riddell, of Grand Rapids, rand G, E. Leeman, of Cass Lake, aad ex-Secretary Rutledge, of Bemidji, Hon, P. E. Dowling, of Eveleth, The secretary of the association 1s at present a member of the legislature and it was impossible for him to be present. He sent as a substitue Touts Larson, a member of the Eveleth department. Delegates were also present from Virginia, Fayal and other towns on the Iron Range. The report of the treasurer showed that the organization was 1n excellent condition, from’ financial standpoint The secretary ‘reported that the Virginia and Fayal departments had joined the association as membars since the tournament of the associa- tion was held at Grand Kapids last June. and that it was confidently be- lieved that the Hibbing and Sparta departments _would also become members. ‘he rules of the associa- tion (that. the tournment- should be held dunng the month of June) were amended and the next tournament will be held on August 8, 9, 10, and rr. It was avreed that the rule three should ibe rigidly enforced at the next tourna- Ment, which will not allow the use of lugs on the couplings. It bas been he custom heretofore to use very large leaden lugs, but under the new tuling these will be done away with. ‘\t was the sense of the meeting that is association should establish more tions with the tournament ich will hold a meeting” et Blackduck during the month of Jane, and with that end in view the se€retary was‘instrueted to correspond with the officials of the other organiza- tion with a view to arranged a cham- pionship ‘race with winning teams of the two associations, the race to be held at the most centrally located town, where a large purse would be ot- fered to the winner. The Eveleth delegates assured the members of the associatlon that everything possible would be done to make the tourna- ment to be held next August a highly “|successful one, and the purses to be offered for the various races and con- tests would be very liberal. Earl Geil, chief of the Bemidji department, and Henry Dahstul of Blackauck, members of the Western association, were also present, A Western World’s Fair. Special interest should attach it- self to the Lewis and Clark Centen- nial Exposition to be held at Port-, land, Oregon, which opens ‘its gates June tirst and closes October” 15th, 1905. It should be of especial interest t¢ the people of the northwest, fur it will bring into the country tribu- tary to the trans-continential rail- ways traversing the northwestern country, a class of people Who hither- to haye never seen its agricultural marvels. The exposition in itsels is a refiex of actual physical and mater- jal condition of the Oregon country which is composed of Oregon, Wash- ington, Idaho and ‘parts of Montana and Wyoming.- From an educational standpoint, there is no question but what it will have a wonderful value, representing every interest in the Northwest from the! Great Lakes to the ‘Paciffe. When one considers that every bit of travel will necessari- ly have to be over the trans-conti- pental lines radiating from St. Paul and Minneapolis and through the Central American states, it can be readily appreciated that it 18 of spec- jal value for ail of the people residing along the line of the Northwestern Trans-continental railways tO assist in the advertising of this first West- @ru World’s Fair, tor it must be ap- preciated that this is the first exposi- ‘tion held west of the Rocky Moua- tains under the auspices of the Wnitec States government. Then again we must not lose sight of the fact that through all this vast north- west a hardy band of pioneers led by ‘the indominatable explorers, Lewis and Clark erected a pathway which [opened to the world a new and vast empire, which has since become peopled with a thrifty energetic class »f people who have assisted ia making the United State a nation among nations, and yet affords un- limited opportunity for the home maker, the investor and the capitalist. The Advent Of The Robins Several Robins have reached Dul- uth from tne more or less sunny south and if birds of that feather are as wise as they are generaly believed to be, We may expect an early spring. But perhaps even the robins may be deceived, or they may be overbold, knowing that in the event of a cold wave it will not take them many hours to fly back and meet the spring. By the time this edition of the News Tribune is out they may be off for the south. Weatherwise folk tell us, however, that there are other signs of an early spring. Men of the woods find hints in the trees and in the ions of cere tain animals, of spring’s approach. Remembering, however, that the same men have erred more than once in their reading of nature’s messages pertaining tu the severity or mildness of an approacning season, let us not overcontident. Like the robins, they may be mistaken.” These remarks should not be taken as, in apy sense, a prediction. It is not Safe for a newspaper to prophesy. Once upon atime a Minnesota jour- oal renowned for accuracy and vera- city published a,most glowing welcome tu spring. There was poetry in every line of the effusion. It would almost scan and one was tempted to search for the rhyme. It excelled the best spring poem ever pricted before and never has it been equaled sifice. When the paper appeared the snow two feet deep allyover the state and the biggest drifts were right in front of that newspaper office. Street rail- way traffic was suspended, trains were stuck in snowdrifts. It was the worst blizzard of the winter. Many subscribers blamed the poetic editorial, written the day before, when the air was balmy, the buds swelling and the robins twittering here and there. Siice then Minnesota newspapers have been cautious in their remarks about the weather. Let everyone in- erpret thé advent of the robias to suit himself.—Duluth News Tribune. Killing Men For Deer. The measure introduced into the state legislature the past week by Sen- ator McNamee, of St. Paul, which characterizes us tanslaughter the killing of a man in the] woods by-a careless hunter, commends itself to all who have read in the newspapers of the frightful mortalities from that cause every season. Such action has been necessary for several years, and it is to be hoped that the bill will be passed without oppusition. There are so many whe go out bunt- ing who do not seem to realize what their actions may result in. If they hear a noise, they instanfly-raise their guns and pull the trigger. Of course, a deer is an alert creature, and dis- appears as soon as it becomes aware that there is ahuman being anywhere inits vicinity. Quick a:tion is neces- sary if the hunter wishes to bring down his game, but that is noreason why bis passion for killing should be- come so keen that he does not consid. er what he is aiming at. Ib isa fool- ish and dangerous habit for a man to yield to his first impulse, without giv- ing thought to the results. A riffe is a dangerous weapon and can deal death at an extremely long range. WlHen a man is in the woods be should remember that fact, and not fire the weapou without making sure where’ the bullet will strike. Many a wan has been killed by a stray shut, but that does not make the offense the less. L think the killing of a man by a thoughtless hunter should be declared acase of manslaughter and the same punishwent meted. While men will continue to go huntiog there will be more or Tess fatality, but the bill in- troduced will prove an_effective curb ou irresponsible hunters, and in fu- ture, stories headed ‘Man Mistaken for a Deer” will be less frequent in the daily papers. 4 The obliging clerk had taken down iece after piece of goods until he could hardly see over the counter, “I don’t care to purchase today,” remarked the shopper as she turned away, ‘I was looking for a friend.” “There is one more piece on the shelf, madam,” said the clerk, “your friend may be be— hind that.”’—Little Falls Herald.

Nearly all the common garden veg- etables have been grown on the Ex- periment Farm for a number of years and invariable du exceptionally well. ‘Tomatoes, cucumbers and beans do not geuerally ripen before frost- Sweet corn matures sufficiently for table use and canning. © Cabbage, onions, carrots, parsnips; peas and string beaus give very large yields. Asparagus aad celery can also be grown. At the present time the local market for vegetables in season is very limited. If there were a good market for yegetables it would be of great advantage to the small farm. Here is where co-operation among the farmers will be helpful as well as in dairving and the meat business. The farmers of northeastern Minnesota ought to largely sypply the north- eastern markets. This can be done by the farmers co-operating and hav- ing their own representative in every large market. Small fruits: While apples have hot as yet been grown successfully at the experiment farm nearly all the smaller fruits have been. Plums do vers well, Raspberries, blackber- ries, currants and strawberries are unexpected in both yield and quality. Some years tbe plumbs do not ripen before frost. Last year all buta few late varieties fully ripened. ‘The Atkin plum was ripe Sept. first, two weeksbefore the plums were injured by frosu. The next earliest variety was the Cheney which was ripe Sep. 9. Both these varieties were of good quality, the Cheney however being the better of the two being a large plum and the tree mure hardy. The Wolf veriety was also very good but not fully ripe before frost. Amoug the varieties of raspberries tried the London was found most satisfactory, The Turner and Marlboro gave large yield, but the quality of the berry is. not as good as the Lunadon. ‘The varieties of strawberries grown most successfully are the Bederwood, Clyde Splendid, Lovett and Brandwinse. While traveling about among the the farmers last summer I noticed that a great many had set out apple trees,.sume to the extent of an acre or more. While this is all. well and good for the farmer who has had ex- perience in fruit growing, it should be remembered that this is rather far north for the apple, and that it is much better to begin fruit growing with the small fruits that are espec- ially adapted for this section of the state. Some apples are being grown here at the present time. ‘There is no doubt but what they will be gen- erally grown later. The experiment station will set out a new orchard in the spring acd give special atten- tion to the growing of tne apple When the tree agent calls at your house, welcome him. He has been a public benefactor. But instead of ordering high priced apple trees, buy 100 strawberry plants, about 25 rasp- berrie plants, and the same of cur rants and gooseberries and a few plum trees. These prope cared for will yield abundantly and will not only prove a luxury for the home bat may also be a Jittle source of profit. To Regulate Hotels. The traveling men are fathers of a bill introduced in the state house which would regulate the operation of hotels. The proposed law pro- vides that each hotel of two stories shall have in every room at a con- venient distance from the bed two rope fire escapes. In hotels of over two stories there must be metal fire escapes at a convenient distance about the exterior of the building. Travel- ing mem say there 1s no provision for the enforcement of the law. If the amendment passes the commercial travelers will recomment for the posi- tion of inspector of hotels J. G. Wood- land of St. Paul, chairman of the hotel commitee for Minnesota and Dakotas of the Traveling Men’s Pro tective association. After the introduction of this amendment a general hotel bill will be introduced designed to raise the | standard of hotel accommodations. If the house 1s a $2 a day house, it must under the proposed law pro- vide a bed of a certain quality, a menu must be served which will com- form with the charge per diem and hunters’ dogs, game and noise must be kept in the background. There will be separate regulations for the $1, 1$1.25, $1.50 and $2 houses: AGE
