1t is all right for our merchants and
other business men to protest ag gainst
the patronage OF the distant depart
ment store, and to work together in
harmony to persuade wholesale houses
to rufuse to furnish goods to those
who are consumers only, and not deal
ers. But why should these men who
object to other people sending their
money away from home to patronize
outside business, not do their share
toward supporting home institution
too? 1t is a poor rule that does not
work both ways. I And it causes q
disagreeable feeling to come over the

According to reports from the
Rainy lake district there is great
activity there this spring, says the
Crookston Tribune. Operators are
confident that the greatest gold min
ing district of the world lies just over
the American line in Canada. The
deepest mine among the group of pro-
ducing mines is now 455 feet deep,
and is now working in vein 70 feet
wide. A few weeks ago a number of
men went out to this region from Be
midi and other points around US, and
last week a party of so or 60 men from
Minneapolis and St. Paul started for
Winnipeg, whence they will go by the
Canadian Pacific line to Rat Portage,
and will then visit the gold mining
district of the Rainy lake mining
regions At the same time party of
Canadian and English mining men
will leave Montreal and will join the
party in the mining field

The Cass Lake Times says Bemidji
has number of dyphtheria cases on
hand; the Voice says some Bemidil
visitors left town without settling with
their landlords. 4 We don't know Of a
case Of dyphtheria in town. and the
doctors plead the same. ignorance.
Where did the Times get its informa
tion? And as to the other, we can
only say that our laws provide that
those landlords can, without expense,
get redress from those oard-jumpers.
Why don't they do it?

When, two years ago, Oregon went
|emphatically republican, the demo-
Gratis attributed it to the war enthus-
iasm of the hour. They said when
the people recovered from their war;
spirit debauch repentance would fol-
low quickly. In the election last
week the state repeated its previous
performance, and the republicans
reaped the finest OF the wheat. Either
the democrats are false prophets, or
Oregon is a confirmed Star Spangled

Bemidji must make a good showing
at Fosston during the tournament

bid you welcome to our city today.
We invite you to partake OF the ban

tables will be spread in our park in
the shade Of primeval pine upon ma

twenty-one miles. We welcome youto
eat and drink of the best we have in

of a treat that has more grandeur
than mortal hands can prepare, a
treat to q. scenery that God prepared
especially for Bemidjiites. You are
welcome to sail, or steam, or gasoline,
or row Ger our fair Bemidji. You
may dip your hooks into her bosom
and temptingly invite the finny tribe to
become the victim Of your hands. Or
you may, without danger, look over
our city. If you get in mischief there
will be no one TO notice it, for the
mayor Of the city has ordered the po-l
lice off duty. He says that for two
hours the city is yours. Do with it as
you like. We hope that our lake, our

Of our people will make a favorable.

SO glaring an error as that of the

II should interpret the above some-

the right way. Just as I am writing

age mortal in one respect, with due.
respect. You get hungry at least
three times day and sometimes be-
tween meals. We never allow good
people TO go hungry in this neck a. the

imously to extend to your party an
urgent invitation to unload here and
partake of little spread which we
will prepare for you in the balsamic
grove on the shores of the beautiful
lake Bemidji. Be our guests, if only
for an hour. We will not promise
you the best ever, for we know you are
all epicures, but we II guarantee TO
pass out q few packages OF a high
grade jolly to the inner man (and the

in the drawing room was all the more

playing card games-for nominal
