! NEWS OF TIE WORLD

II anything had been lacking to
maxine perfect metropolitan news
paper OF the st. Paul Dispatch, the
want was entirely filled when II COM
pleted arrangements for the special
foreign cable service which is now
Frightening its columns. It il really
astonishing how the recent war with
Spain has developed the American
thirst for the news of the world. IL
placed America in a new position with
regard TO the rest Of the earth and
gave new Importance to the events OF
the world at large. If the movements
of foreign powers were once OF lnpor-
lance, they become doubly so when
America rose into place as q power Ia
the world. The Dispatch recognized
this when it secured this cable service
with its news from first hands. No
longer is London the sole source OF
all European news, and no longer is
the news of the world filtered through
British Channels and tinted with Brit
ish ideas. It comes to the Dispatch
straight fl ON the European centre and
without prejudice. This will be graft
flying to all intelligent people OF the
Northwest, particularly SO to that
large foreign-born element which de-
Ii hits in information direct from the
fatherland.

small 1t puts a daily paper in reach

harvest fields Of Dakota to help keep
up expenses. It would take several
years to retrieve what they expended
on their homesteads.
"A great many are not able to i'm
prove their farms as they would like
to on account Of limited resources and
will depend on selling out to new
Corners who have more capital, il
would be extreme folly for them to
vote bonds as that would hurt the
sails Of their lands. II is natural for
the pine owners to be in favor Of
bonds because they are stripping of
the pine and decreasing the value Of
their lands. 81.
Itw1uld be good thing for them
if at the end Of ten years they could
sell at an advance, the price of land
being raised by improvements made
by the homesteader. The settlers
would be fooled to furnish dope to
grease the wheels Of those already
prosperous.
| mglad for one that the question
of bonding the townships is being
agitated, keep it up and get the farm
#ers interested if possible and when
the time comes to vote on such ques-
tions you will find every man at his
post ready TO defend his rights against
presumptious boomers.

III response to an article in this pa
per concerning the need OF roads, Mr..
Booth, assessor for Bemidji town.
ship, gives our readers q few opinions
on the subject. He IS against bonding
and bitterly SO. No doubt there has
been much acknowledgement Of road
funds, but if the farmers are SO vigi-
liant as is Mr.. Booth, future mismar,-
agement can be prevented. We are
glad to see one citizen avail himself
of our columns to discuss public cues
tions and we hope Others will answer
him through the same medium. Good
roads are necessity, but how TO get
them, IS the question upon which
many Of our people are pondering.
Send III your opinions to the PtoNEER,
neighbors; let us reason together.

AND NOW FOR NOME.
That will be the Gold Hunters
Magnet This Year.

Bemidji is not the only place which
will furnish expectant visitors to the
Cape Nome gold fields. Our ex-
changes report parties being organ
lied everywhere. It is estimated by
Seattle authorities that at least 80, 3
900 men will 60 to Alaska this spring.
and not to the Klond yke. The latter
place is a backnumber. Is never was
a decent field for the poor man. He
could prospect and having made a
find, all he could do was to sit down
| and wait for some wealthy man or
Incorporation to buy his claim. It has
required expensive machinery to OPP.
crate the Klondyke mines, and when
the average miner has spent from
s4OO to $500 in reaching that region
he had not the necessary capital to
operate his mines. The Klond yke will
continue to yield rich returns to the
wealthy few, but Cape Nome is to be
the object point this summer for the
poorer thousands.
Nome lies much nearer ST. Michaels
so the expense in reaching the place
is not SO great. According to reports
freely circulated, the gold almost lit
orally lies glittering in the seas
strand for 100 miles, to be picked up
and washed out by the simplest de-
vices. A MD with a pan can dish up
50, 900 a day, if he strikes the right
place for the washing, but the average
| is but 500 per day. The governor Of
Alaska estimated the yield of Nome
for last year at 50, ESQ, 600 from placer
mining. Experts who have examined
the region, expect to locate a quartz
ldeposite from which this gold has
come richer than any heretofore dis
covered.
About the first OF May the Bemidji
delegation will leave for the coast,
where boats will be ready to start by
that time. In the party will be AL and
Earl Carson, Frank Snyder, g. j..
Carlson and possibly two or three
more. They carry with them full
supply Of provisions and clothing and
two 16-foot boats. They will return
about the middle of October.

CHAIINCEY DEEPEN ON TIE ART
or ADVERTISING.

4 sJohn Wanamalxer is a good man
to take for example. He started In
a small way with small store, and
il to-day one Of the wealthiest men ~
the country. In what lay the secret q
his success? Simply in this: He knew
what the people wanted he knew where
to buy it and he knew how to adver-
tise. Many a man, as we all know,
has made a fortune through judicious
advertising. Take two men starting
in business at the same time. One
uses all the money he makes in living
!well--eyen extrav agantly
The other invests all the surplus
cash that he can lay his hands on ia
advertising here, there and every
where that he thinks will attract pub
lie attention. What is the results
The man who advertises has crowds
Aocking to his shop to zee the beau
ties Of the advertised goods, and as
the public begin to run SO they Will
continue from sheer force OF habit.
The first shopkeeper will in the mean
time be sitting, santhoaght Of, uncared
for, aghast at the crowds which daily
throngs the counters Of his competitor
and bitterly bewailing the bad luck
which has followed his own venture
into trade. Yet he has no one to
blame but himself.
