ROAD MAKING.
Subject of Good Roads a Potent
One to BeItrami Settlers. The
Best Way to Get Them.

With the return fspring comes
the yexing nuisance Of poor roads,
stumps, ruts to the hubs, and deep
puddles. In common with new
territories, Beltrami has any
amount of poor roads and large
districts with practically no roads
at all. Much has been accom-
plished in road building and much
money spent. But there is an inn
mediate need of better roads eY-
erywhere. How to get them is
the perplexing question. The new
settlers do not feel like going
ahead and building new and per-
manent roads for later settlers to
use without contributing their
share. So, most communities are
apt to lie idle and wait for full
settling up Of vacant lands. IT'S
this which much retards the
growth of a county, while if the
reads were already there, the, set
tling up would be question soon
answered. One of the plans sug-
gested by Che Good Roads League
is worthy of study at the present
time. On this line the new paper
at Shevlin, the Graphic, furnished
very sensible article last week,
which we reproduce in full:
There is no expenditure of mon
eY made BY the farmers, business
men and settlers Of Beltrami
county that will give SO large a
return as money expended on i'm
proving aud making new roads.
The crying need Of the county at
the present time is more and bet
ter roads, Let every one take
up tho cry, until every nook and
corner Of this vnst region, whose
only set back III being rupidIy set
tied up and developed is it's lack of
roads, will take up the refrain and
never cease it's cIsmof, talking,
working and voting--for good
roads until they have attained
their object and got them.
No country has better 1iatur-|
al foundation for good roads than
this section Of country right here.
The swampa and sloughs, with few
exceptions, have good solid bot
toms and need only to be filled |
and graded above the winter line
to make good substantial roads. Ii |
you ask the average settler why |
they do not 90 to work and build |
roads, his reply will be that so
many are required, settlers are SO
few and their means so limited |
that they could never stand the
expense. Then he will begin to
lament because the business men,
village corporations, county or
state will not appropriate suffici-

midi, with Good Prospects Of
A Building Boom.

There were all-knowing people
who last summer prophesied that
ithls summer would be a dull
season IN the building line. They
are doomed to continual disap-
pointment. Prospects were never
brighter for an industrial summer.
So anxious are many to- put up
business buildings ard dwellings,
that they cannot wait for the frost
to get out OF the ground.
Silver Bros. and Thos Bailey
are putting up large building on
Second street, opposite the Con-
lcert hall. It will be 40x24 feet
with an additional shed of the
same size. This firm will handle
a big line of all kinds of agricul-
tural implements, wagons and
buggies. The development Of the
agricultural resources Of the coun-l
ty, makes this a very promising
enterprise and they intend to boom
Bemidii as the center for farm ers'
supplies.
The old postoffice building is
being remodeled and enlarged for
the use of A. 7. Wheelock, as his
increasing trade makes larger
quarters necessary. The building
now occupied by him will soon be
in the hands of carpenters also, as
we mentioned last week.
The Kelliher building on Mimi.

throughout and has been pur-
chased by Ed Bancroft and I'll. T.. |
Scott, two popular young Bernid-
j. men, for the sam of $4,000. They |
will immediately use it fer saloon
and restaurant purposes. They
paid a good price, but the location
is good one and their hustling |
abilities will prove the Investment

The New Discovery for Catarrh
Seems To Possess Remarkable
Merit.

A new catarrh cure has recently ap
peared which no far as tested has been
remarkably successful in curing all
forms Of catarrh, whether in the head,
throat, bronchial tubes, or in stomach
and liver.
The remedy is In tablet form, pleas
ant and convenient to take, and no
special secrecy is maintained as TO
what 1t contains, the tablets being a
scientific combination Of Guaiacol,
Eucalyptol, Sangulnaria, Hydrastin
and similar valuable and harmless
antiseptics.
This safe and effective catarrh cure
may be found at any drug store under
name of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
Whether the catarrh is located In
the nose, throat, bronchial tubes or
stomach, the tablets seem to act with
equal success, removing the stuffy
feeling in head and nose, clearing the
mucous membrane Of throat and
trachea from catarrhal secretions
which cause the tickling, coughing
hawking and gagging so annoying to
every catarrh sufferer.
Nasal catarrh generally leads to ul
ceration, In some cases to such an ex'
tent as to destroy the nose entirely
and in many old cases Of catarrh the
bones of the head become diseased
Nasal catarrh gradually extends tc
the throat and bronchial tubes and

Catarrh Is a systemic poison. inner
ent in the blood, and local washes
douches, salves, inhalers and sprays
can have no effect ON the real cause
Of the disease. An internal remed!
which acts upon the blood is the only
rational treatment and Stuart'i
Catarrh Tablets is the safest of all ia
| ternal remedies, as well as the mos
convenient and satisfactory from
medical standpoint.
DR.. Eaton recently stated that h'
had successfully used Stuart'i
Catarrh Tablets in old chronic cases
even where liberation had extended 81
far as to destroy the septum of th'
nose. He says: Il am pleasantly sur
prised almost every day by the excel
lent results from Stuart's Catarrl
Tablets. is remarkable how effect

ed. There are eight Notifications
about Havana, the principal of these
are: Atares, Of which it is boasted
that it was never captured; Principe,
where No. i hospital for American
troops is now located, and opposite to
the city; the famous Moro Castle and
Cabanos. Father Moran takes no
stock in the legend of the horrors of
the underground dungeons of Cabanos;
lie went through two of the so-called
secret passages and noted the walled
mp arches which are said to have led
to the dungeons; he was also shown
some bones. 1t is his opinion that if
there We're chambers to which the
arches We're openings they We're used
like the old room under the fort at
st. Augustine, Fla, for magazines, and
afterwards condemned because of
dampness and general unfitness. He
feels quite positive that these reputed
chambers could not have been used
recentely for any purpose, and as to
the bones seen within its dark recess
cs, it is said that when the Americans
took possession that they found in
Cabanos million dogs, more or less
and that dog bones are as serviceable
as human to start an apparition, and
the ordinary observer could not tell
the difference between them. 1t is
hardly possible that the "barborous"
Spaniards would have left the bones
of their victims lying about SC pro-
miscuously."
Father Moran thinks that Matanzas
is the most beautiful city Of the ISL
and, that Cienfuegos is a busy and
thriving modern town, with great fu-
ture possibilities. Back Of Cienfuegos
are some of the largest sugar planta-
tions of Cuba, equipped with modern
machinery Manzanillo is fair town,
with pretty plaza. Santiago has
been cleaned up and much improved,
and many streets there are paved
IJn ,.on+ out 70 Con J,,on hill ond El
Caney. He never before realized how
much of battle was fought and won
by our boys. There was not as many
men in action as at Gettysburg, but
there was just the same brand of
bravery. To climb San Juan hill IN
the month of February without a
rife and equipment would be exercise
sufficient to last healthy man a
month. To face it on the Sd of July,
with the weight of arms, in front of
the Spaniards' deadly fire from be-
hind their intrenchments, and never
to stop till it's summit was reached
and the 1ag planted, was a deed of
heroic valor.
In the college at Guanabacoa, Ha-
vena, are 800 students. The Jesuits
have college at Belen. Havena, where
5000 students have been educated.
The harbors of Havana, Matanzas
and Santiago are the finest in the uni
verse.
Father Moran says the agricultural
resources of Cuba are ilimitable, and
that crops can be planted and will
mature at any and all seasons of the
