more kind, but until then this
village can not hope to be more
than a thriving farming town
and delightful summer resort.
Although plated under g differ
ent name, the village is only
known as Buena Vista. This
name, which il Spanish means
sbeantiful sight, was selected
by Mr.. Speelman, the first post
master. His homestead adjoining
the townsite on the north, was
the first claim to be taken after
the opening Of the Red Lake res
eryation. Mr.. Speelman is one of
those fellows who decided that the
life of an editor contains more
thorns than roses, 50 dropped the
Verndale Sun and picked up 100
acres Of finest earth. His train,
ing aseditor, however, has made him
a leading servant Of the people 'l IA
The upbuilding Of his community
during his five years Of home
stealing. The homestead laws
permitted his donating part Of
his land for school and church
purposes, and as 4 result. we see q g
fine school building and Presby-
terrain church erected on his side
of the old reservation line. And
be it said to the credit Of himself
and neighbors, no better church
building, outside Of Bemidji, can
be found in the county, and not 9
cent Of debt is on it.

ASK FOR THE RAISE.
President Fischer Will Ask Ma.ufacturers to
Make the Agreement.

President Fischer, of the Tobacco
Workers International Union. who has
been in the city for the past week or
more will see the tobacco manufacturers
of Richmond tomorrow and ask them to
grant the advance of per cent. in tho
wages of the workers. He has drawn up
a paper making an agreement to do this
and will ask the manufacturers to sign
it.
a scale was recently proposed to the
workers. advancing the wages in some
departments and reducing it in others,
but making an average advance of .
per cent over the wages paid. But this
didn't suit the workers. and they asked
for the per cent. advance in all de-
partments. How many Of the nanufac-
turers will sign the agreement to do this
is a question One Of them said yesterday
morning that he would. and that
he thought the others would
take the same action. On the other hand,
Mr. Malvern Patterson, of the firm of K.
A. Patterson Company, said that he didn't
think the manufacturers were disposed
to grant the concession.

the United States.

An old lady giving the name of Mrs.
William Beard, was a caller at Police
Headquarters yesterday afternoon. Major
Howard received her. and she told him
her story.
She said she came from Arizona by
easy stages, visiting all the cities of i'm
portance along the route, touching at New
Orleans, Birmingham, Atlanta, Charlotte,
and other places.
She has scheme in her mind to revo-
lutionize the transportation facilities from
the Indies. China. the Philippines. and in
fact the whole ole Asia and the Pacific Is
lands. Her scheme Is to construct a, rail-
road from some point on the coast OF
Lower California, across Mexico and the
lower part of the United States to Flor
ida, thence northward to New York and
the East.
Mrs. Beard told Major Howard that her
proposed road would cut off the distance
about LEGO miles, and she exhibited maps
and other documents, which she explain
ed in order to substantiata what she
claimed.
Then she told Major Howard that she
was on her way to Washington to see the
officials in reference to the matter. and
would be glad to receive from him a
ticket to that city. In the kindness of his
heart the Major skirmished around and
gave her the necessary document by
which she secured a pass to the national
capital via the Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad.

MAY GO THIS WEEK.
Board of Directors, Governor Tyler and Major
Helms to Visit State Farm.

The Board Of Directors Of the penl-
Tertiary had planned trip up to the
State farm for yesterday. but 1t was
postponed on account of the inclemency
of the weather.
Major George NJ. Helms would have &C
companied the Board, and the members
were anxious for the Governor to go as
well. Another day will be set probably
during the coming week. when it is hoped
that it will suit the convenience of the
Governor and Major Helms to go.
The Board is going up on regular tour
of inspection, and there Is no unusual Sig
nificance in the proposed trip.
It is not unlikely, however, that IN case
Governor Tyler can accompany them,
they will look at some land adjoining the
farm with the view to making Il recon-
mendation to the special committee ap-
pointed by the extra session or the
Legislature to take the matter of enlars-
ing the present State farm under adj
