No, and we believe the Governor himself recognizes the fact and realizes his mistake. But the blame primarily rests with the house and senate, both of which are overwheim- ingly Republican. Two years hence we will haye a Democratic legisla- ture and a Democratic governor and then good bye toSunday rowdyism and revelry.—Fairmont Sentinel. a gee A MOVEMENT has been started for the purpose of presenting a petition to Gov. Johnson asking him to call au extra session of the legislature to pass a re-apportionment bill. The call will come from Northern Minne- sota and will be signed by thousands of voters in this section of the state who are alive to the unjust condition of affairs that exist. Harry Ives, of St Hilaire, in Minneapolis Monday to a reporter that the only chance to get justice in legislative representation for the northern part of the state 1s a special session called that purpose. Speaking further on the subject he said: “There will be a federal census next year, but the result will not be out in time for the legislature of 1911 to use it for a basis of apportionment. South- ern Minnesota will put us off again on the pretext that we must wait for the federal census. Soit will goon year after year, unless the legisla- ture’s duty is brought up toit bya said for call for aspecial session. Our dis- trict has six times the population of some in Southern Minnesota, even going by the 1905 census, ’’—Brainerd Dispatch. ec ige Herald-Review’s Progress. E. C. Kiley, the ‘presiding elder” of the Grand Rapids Herald-Review, accompanied by his good wife, came to the city yesterday afternoon and remained here for several hours, being the guests of W. E. Neal and family, former residents of the ‘‘Rapids.” One of the purposes of the good brother’s visit was to ascertain fora certainty whether the editor hereof had really growo horns anda cloven hoof, since the normal school fight was “on” last winter, as Editor Ives of the Cass Lake Times would have the brethern of the north-country press belieye. The Herald-Review is one of best- patronized weekly papers in the state, and when everything is moving along allright for Bro. Kiley, the Herald-Review is chock full. of good, wholesome matter that is interesting to read. Mr. Kiley tells that he is install- ing a new Junior Mergenthaler type- casting machine (one of the kind that sets all the matter for a big newspaper in a few hours), and that he will hereafter issue an all-home- print paper, which is what the Pio- neer has been doing for years, and is the only right way of doing, when patronage will warrant. Mr. and Mrs. Kiley departed for their home last night, after a very pleasant visit. Effort was made to get Bro. Kiley to remain for the ball game which was played this afternoon between the Grand Rapids and Bemidji high school boys, in order to convince him (by personal observation) that our people are not a bunch of “hood- lums,” as has been reported to him heretofore; but the good brother de- parted homeward, without seeing the game, which we regret.—Bemidj1 Pioneer. A. L. Thwing Appointed. The three judges of the fifteenth judicial district, McClenahan of Brain. erd, Wright of Park Rapids and Stan- ton of Bemidji, met recently in the latter city and appointed the exami- ners of titles under the new Torrens law, enacted at the last session of the legislature, for each county in this district, Attorney Alfred L. Thwing of Grand Rapids was appointed ex- aminer for Itasca county. Mr, Thwing is recognized as one of the best title lawyers in this section, and the ap- pointment is certainly an excellent one. (PPORTINTES WN MNWESOT State Auditor Iverson Issues Illus- trated Pamphlet of Information Concerning Land Sales AOVERTISES SALE OF PUBLIC LANDS Thirty Thousand Acres of School and Other State Lands Will be Offered at Public Auction In Itasca County June 30 State Auditor §.G. Iverson has issued a 48-page pamphlet in which he advertises public land sales to be held in thirty-five counties of the state between May 24 and July 23. The total to be offered is 300,000 acres. The date for the Ltasca county sale is June 30, and the number of acres to be put up is thirty thousand. In the preface of his pamphlet State Auditor Iverson says in part: What Minnesota Offers the migrant. The success of astate or nation andits people, must have its begin- ning in those resources with which it is endowed by nature. These sources of wealth in the hands of thrifty and intelligent people, in an advanta- geous geographical location conveni- ent to the trade and commerce of the world, and agreeable climatic condi- tions, constitute a strong basis upon which to build a commonweath. The state of Minnesota appears to have been favored by all these condi- tions. In my opinion, Minnesota has more advantages anda larger variety of great wealth-producing natural resources than any area of equal size onthe North American continent. Our forests, mines and fertile agricultural lands have fora half a century bountifully yielded of their wealth to feed, clothe, educate and enrich our people, and will con- tinue to do so fur ages tocome. Our majestic, primeval forests are dis- appearing to be succeeded by the houses, barns and fields of the farmer. Our agricultural land is the enduring anchorage for the maintenance of the state andits people. The land-owning farmer io all ages, and in all coun- tries, has been acommanding figure and nowhere is this truth more in evidence than in Minnesota. Minneso- ta has 160,000 farms of about 158 acres each, and has enough uncultivated land to make 100,000 more farm homes. We have in all about 25,500,- 000 acres of land under cultivation and each acre produces annually a crop worth about $9, or a grand total of $239,500,000. This sum comes from wheat, corn, hay, oats, barley, rye, flax and other seeds, potatoes and other vegetables, apples and other fruits. live stock, poultry and dairy products. A quarter of a billion dol- lars isa princely sum to add to the wealth of the state and nation in one year and speaks for itself as to the productivity of our soil. With the improved methods of farming now being taught by many associations and societies and our agricultural col- leges, we may confidently look for an even larger average returo per acre in the near future. We offer to the immigrant good farm lands at a fair price in the pros- perous State of Minnesota. You add to thata climate absolutely usur- passed; a soil unequalled in fertility; markets at yourvery door; all the modern conyeniences which go to make life pleasing and comfortable. You take no risk. You are working for acertainty. The happiest, most contended, most prosperous people on earth are to be foundin Minnesota. Remember, that what man has done, man can do. Turn this practical situation over in your mind and act in accordance with your interests. Minnesota land offers honest, thrifty and industrions meno unequaled opportunities to secure prosperous homes for themselves and families Will be Deported. County Attorney Price found a way to save taxpayers of Itasca county sev- eral hundred dollars—probably more —in the trial of the three Italians held in the county jail on a charge of black- mailing, etc., and he took advantage of it. The three men were known as Frank Tino, John Musolin and Dom- mick Pappatolo. They were com- mitted two weeks ago by a Bovey justice of the peace, an account of which was given at the time. Immi- gration Inspector Dean of Duluth was interested in the trio, and after com- munication with the Washington au- thorities decided to ask for their re- lease by the Itasca county authorities, which request was granted by County Attorney Price. The men will be de- ported from this country to Italy, their RAISE PRICEOF PUBLIC LANDS ilacidlier: Govetunint lonpoctics Will Appraise Value of Stone and Timber Lands. Register Engel of the United States land office at Duluth last Tuesday received the first appraisal made in this state under the new ruling of the secretary of the interior last December, which requires that before title is given to any stone or timber land the value of the land and the standiag timber shall be ascer- tained by a government inspector, says the Duluth Herald. The matter is one of great impor- tance to both the government and to prospective purchasers of land. During the latter part of January Cornelius Keppel of Hibbing applied for the purchase of forty acres of land in section 15-56-32, in St. Louis county. He stated that the land was worth $20 and the timber $80, making a total of $100, or $2.50 per acre, the flat rate price at which the goyern- ment has always sold the land. The appraisement which was de- livered to Mr. KEgnel last Tuesday show that the land is worth $120 and the timber, which was underestimated, is worth $320 which brings the price of the land to $11 an acre. This means that the days of pick- ing up choice lands, heavily tim- bered for $2.50 an acre are past, and that the government will know through its own agent just what it is selling before title is passed. There areabout 125 applications for land in Mr. Engel’s hands, which will all be taken up by government land men andthe desired property appraised. After the appraisement the ap- plicant has the right to call fora re-appraisement by depositing a cer- tain some with the land office to cover expenses, and thirty days in which to accept the land at the first figures.

The permanent washing plant will have 10 units. In the beds the Western Mesaba ores run from 30 to 56 per cent iron. Most of the Canisteo material can be passed througha 10 per cent mesh screen. The furnace men know how to treat the ore and the operators have never been disturbed as tv its character. About 75 per cent of the original iron pits are extracted from the ore at the temporary washing plant and even a better showing is expected from the permanent plaut. No Kissing in Spooning Time. “The springtime has come, gentle Annie,” and “In thespring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.” The balmy breeze, the whispering trees, fair Luna’s soft rays, all invite sweethearts to go “spooning.” : So, of course, just at this time, right at the beginning of the most romantic season, when the little birds are cooing and all nature is wooing, along comes A. E. Kepford, the state expert and lecturer on tuberculosis. He officially declres there must be no more kissing in Iowa. Mr. Kepford, who is a wise olg g— scientist, does not denounce kissing in so many words. He says, cau- tiously, that he and Iowa are only tak- ing up and carrying on the old cru- sade against the elusive bacillus of tuberculosis. Mr. Kepford asserts that this ba- cillus is the real “kissing bug’ He is about to send to every mother in Iowa a card inscribed: “Do not kiss the baby.” Mamma will hang this warning around baby’s neck or on baby’s go- cart. “First of all we will save the ba- bies,’” says Mr. Kepford, ‘“Then—” Plainly an awful threat is hidden in the word “then.” After the babies are saved the sign will be hung a- round the neck of every giggling school girl of 6 or 7. They will be forbidden to kiss each other. “Then,”the same sign will be blaz oned on the park benches where swains are accustomed to murmur. “And ‘then”’— “Tis dusk and ratheer darker.

In the past we have seen fit to compliment the state upon its having secured the services of such a man as A. J. McGuire, of the Grand Rap- ids agricultural experimental station Even when he saw fit to branch off the subject to which he was assign- ed in his lectures and deliver a pro- hibition harangue,; we still were of the opinion that he had a right to his private opinion. But in the lastinstance he uses his official position to attack the liquor business, devoting an entire press bulletin to the subject. Even the most radical of the Prohibitionists would not ask for a more partisan statement of the case. He takes the round that if northeastern Minneso- ta is to be developed as an agricul- tural section the saloons must be eliminated. And he draws pictures of suffering brought on by the sa- loons that will doubtless be largely used by the prohibition party in its crusade. We believe that Mr. McGuire is entitled to his opinion upon this question, but do not think that he should be permitted to use his posi- tion with the state to advance the cause of any political party, as he has done in “Press Bulletin No. 82” There is surely some power connect- ed with the state government that can warn Mr. McGuire that his duty is in giving agricultural instruc- tion, and in attempting to interfere with the personal rights and liber- ties of the people.—Biwabic Times. The Postmaster’s Troubles. Kansas newspapers are “passing out, this story which is going the rounds, and which applies to ‘most any postoffice in the land, and the unanimous verdict is that it is good. It is to the effect that the freckle faced girl stopped at the postoffice and yelled out: “Anything for the Murphy’s? “There is not.” “Anything for Jane Murphy?” “Nothing.” “Anything for Ann Murphy?’ “No.” “Anything for Tom Murphy?’ “No.” “Anything for Bob Murphy?” “No, not a bit.” “No, nor Pete Murphy,nor Paul Mu: phy, nor for any Murphy—dead, liv- ing, born or unborn, native or for- eign, civilized or uncivilized savage or barbarous, male or femal black or white, franchised or unfranchised, naturalized or otherwise. No, there is positively nothing for any of the Murphys, either’ individually, jointly, sevrally, now and forever, one and inseparable,” | The girl looked at the postmaster in astonishment, and said: ‘Please to look if there is anything for ‘Clarence Murphy.” , HERALD-REVIEW COMMERCIAL Book and Job Printing EST KIND OF Wor EST KIND OF STOC.
