M. & /. EXTENSION
Is Being Continued From Black.
Duck to Phena.

The building Of the extension
to the M. & /. railroad from
Blackduck to Phena goes merrily
on.
The writer was over the right
of-Way Wednesday and saw over
two hundred men at work clear
ing the route for the road This
work is let out in stations Of one
hundred feet square, some con-
tractors taking more to clear
than others, butit must all be
done at a certain time, and in a
short time, too, ready for the
graders.
About midway between Black
duck and Dexter's a large force
was busy building a camp, put
ting up tents, log cooking shan
ties, etc, in order to accommo-
date the large umber of hungry
Iaborers. Fs@
About two miles southwest of
Dexter's a big camp has been es-
tabished and a large crew Of
men are at work fixing up a tote
road from Blackduck to that sta
ton, and it is a busy place.

A Test of Prosperity.

One of the most marked indi-
cations Of the healthy progress
in the real elements of a nation s
prosperity is the notable increase
in the consumption per capita OF
the products Of the farm and the
manufacturers Of the country,
as, for example, eggs, extra
quality Of butter, meats, fine
-four, sugar and fine fabrics OF
clothing, etc. The American
market is the best in the world
in this respect, because the
average American is a liberal
consumer and a good liver. All
enjoy Golden Grain Belt" beer,
because it is pure, delicious and
nourishing. 1t should be in
every home. Order of your near

and everything is in readiness to
push the work as fast as possi-
BILE.
So far as can be ascertained,
and it is on supposed good au-
thority, the road will be built to
Phena by fall, with a logging
spur running six miles north to
1920 from the last named camp
to tap the timber country in that
direction. -Bridgie News. ..,a.,-y.,,..,,.

FOR PARK BONDS
Mass Meeting Will Be Held To.
Night In Village Hall
All Should Attend.
1T MEANS MUCH TO BEMDJI
"A Saw Mill With $4,000 Pay
Roll Monthly and a City
Park. Turn Out. '''seea.

-f ~ 'af d.. X
At a meeting of the village
council held on Monday evening
it was decided to call a special
election for the purpose Of voting
upon the question of issuing $40
900 in bonds for the purpose of
buying property on the lake
front from the townsite company
and for improving same. The
sum Of 81, 900 out Of this will be
required to pay the price asked
by the Townsite Company, and
the remaining S3, OO0is calculated
to be put into improvements
fencing, shrubbery, walks, Seats.
etc.
At first send-off the average
citizen will declare that the sum
E$7 900 is an eXtravagent figure
for the Townsite Company to
ask for this property; but in
asmuch as the Townsite Com
pany, III addition to conveying
the necessary blocks and lots to
the village for this sum, also
volunteers at the same time to
donate to the Crookston Lumber
Company for saw mill purposes
a tract comprising about 100
acres upon the south end Of
Lake Bemidji and fronting up
wards of a mile upon that lake,
the price is seen to be very
moderate and reasonable. So
that by voting for. the bonds, the
village will have accomplished
the purpose of attracting to the
city a saw mill Of a capacity equal
to that of the Brainerd Lumber
Company at Brainerd, and also
will have provided a park system
of extraordinary beauty and at
traction; for the tracts which it
is proposed to buy from the
Townsite Company will give the
village practical control Of the
lake front for park purposes
from Fourth street to Twelfth
street at the far end of Lake
Park Addition.
The unanimity with which the
citizens mittee recommend
ed to the council that this action
be taken, along with a like voice
on the part of the council in or
dering the election, confirms the
belief that there will he no op-
position whatever to the issuance
of the bonds. Nevertheless,
| it has been deemed wise to have
in advance a public meeting of
the citizens at the village hall this
evening, to discuss the whole
matter, and it is trusted that the
people will turn out en- masse to
hear the report of this committee
and the statement of the reasons
of the council for calling the
election. "
The meeting will be held in the
village hall at 8 o'clock this eve
ming, and every citizen and tax
payer is requested to be present,
as it is a matter of grave import
ance to Bemidii, and also to Bel
trami county, as it indicates that
the time is now at hand when
some of the saw logs that are
now running to other places and
out of this county will be delay
ed here long enough to be cut up
into lumber by men living upon
the ground and having a resi-
dence in the county.

Victor Hugo's Daughter.

LOnQon Telegfapn.
Many persons are under the impression
that Mile. Adele Hugo. daughter of the
great poet, whose centenary IL about to
be observed with magnificence in Paris,
is dead and buried, after having passed
the greater part of her existence in a
private asylum. 1t was always known
that Adele Hugo had been crossed in love
and that her reason became affected
thereby. She was placed in private
asylum near Vincennes, and for years
was lost sight of by all except o few
friends and relatives.
A lady who writes for the Fonde has
been making diligent Investigations, and
states that she has found Adele Hugo
alive, in good health, and in full posses
sion of all her faculties. The poets
daughter is living comfortably In an es-
tablisbment on the banks Of the Seine
near Paris. The place must be kept a
secret, owing to the wishes of the family.
Anyhow. Adele Hugo, now a fine, tall,
gray-naired old lady Of 70 years. is there
attended by q companion and maid:
She takes daily walks in the park Of
the establishment, occupies herself with
scientific studies being especially inter-
ested in astronomy, and occasionally goes
to a theater. where she sits in rallied
box. unseen by the people. These peri
odical visits to the playhouse form Adele
Hugos only concessions to the present
age, for she chiefly lives, we are told
by the lady investigator. in the past, and
never reads a newspaper. She is COM
pletely in the dark about the enormous
preparations being made at present for
the celebration OF the centenary of her
famous fathers birth.
Another writer, M. Octave Uzanne,
notes that 1T was Adele who collected her
fathers table talk between 1852 and 1855.
the first year of his exile. The manu-
script Of this collection was seen by M.
Uzanne in the establishment Of an auto
graph dealer near the BRUSH Museum.
He was prevented by the poets family
from publishing any fragments OF the
proach of the centenary, he commun-
Gates few extracts to the Echo de Paris.
Like Luther. Coleridge and Bismarck,
nearly everything that he said was inter-
esting. Some of his conversations. as NJ.
Uzanne appropriately points out, revealed
his innate vanity and showed that he was
rancorous to those who failed to treat
him with due consideration.

But now. speaking about names. 1t will
be remembered that there was never but
one more Dothan. That was the Dothan
of old. which is spoken of in the Bible.
1t was the place where Joseph went to
hunt his brethren and found them. See
18th chapter of .Genesis). That Dothan

has no significance in this connection?
Why not give your new county the name

TALK OF TARIFF CUT
HALTS MEAT COMBINE.
Prospect Of Competition from canads
Has Stopped Packers Trust.

From Boston to Chicago Record-Herald.
The organization Of the packing house
interests, 1t IL asserted. has suddenly been
stopped. Schedules Of property which
were being made in Boston and New Eng
land. to be filed at Chicago as basis for
taking over all the independent concerns
into the trust were made up and were
all ready to send yesterday, but they did
not go.
Word was received from Chicago not to
forward these schedules. 1t can be said
positively that the reason Tor holding up
the formation of the $500 900 trust Is
that some of the firms which were to be
taken in have grown frightened at the
last moment and unless they can he
coaxed into an easier frame of mind the
organization will fall through.
From trustworthy source comes the
information that the men who have back
ed out are alarmed over the possibility
that Canadian meats will be put on the
free list by Congress next winter as the
result of publicity Until the Chicago In
terests get some sort of control of the
Canadian situation. or some assurance
that there will be no interference with the
tariff. 1t looks as If the trust movement
would be held up.
The Chicago people are worried also
over the fact that the talk against the
beef trust has not ended with the Chi
cago injunction, and that 1t Is possible
that upon the return of Attorney Gen
eral Knox from Paris he will press local
suits against the trust.

The movement among the white Repub-
.~llcsns in several sections of the South
to cut themselves entirely loose from their
colored associates may have much more
understanding effect than has been
thought Of. 1t Is not merely the loss OF
votes In the South where the negroes
s<orm the dominant voting strength of the
&artx but in some of the more Northern
states the effects of the new move may
81 felt for good to the Democrats
Let us suppose. for example. that the
colored voters in the States of the North
and West should decide to make COM
naon cause with their brethren in the
south, and should say to the Northern
Republicans: IF negroes are not good
enough 10 take part in the party affairs
In Alabama and other Southern States
We win not vote for your candidates I'D
hare what would be the result? The
Indianapolis Sentinel. for instance, de-
cIares that the Republicans cannot carry
indiana without the negro vote. and the
4 1asment Is true. According to the last
esasus there are 1900 colored voters an
fAac state, which was about the Republ-
can plurality in 1896 and 1895 In 1900 the
plzraIity was larger. but the Democrats
c4ried the State in 1890 and 1892. which
shows that If the negroes should refuse
70 vote at all. the Democrats would be
likely to win. and IL the colored voters,
Or majority of them, should vote with
fhe Democrats, the State would be GER
tain for them.
There are quite a number OF Congress
sinnal districts in the North and North
west in which negro voters hold the ball
ar1ee OF power. and II they should for
any reason vote the Democratic ticket.
IL would change the political complexion
IL the next Congress. All of this is spec
ulative, Of course. but 1t is just what may
occur.

From Washington Chicago Chronicle.
The geological survey has completed an
exhaustive investigation of the fuel prop

with anthracite coal, the result of which

port prepared by Professor Charles Will
single barrel OF oil has a fuel value Of at
least 50 compared with anthracite coal at
$3.50 or " ton. In view Of the fact that
100000 barrels Of oil were shipped last
year from the Texas field at a cost Of
not more than 40 cents q barrel the adj
vantage OF oil over coal as q cheap fuel
easily is established.
Professor Hayes viii point out that the
capacity of the Texas held is practically
unlimited and that with the substitution
OF devices for the consumption of oil for
coal CRATES now so universally in use the
shipments easily could reach 20. 900 bar
rels year without causing a material
increase of price. Bulk steamers of $4,000
barrels capacity or more can deliver the
oil from Texas to seaport cities at very
low rates Such distribution ID recon-
mended as economical because the oil re-
place over forty miles from the. coast and
land.
The oil region extends along the Texas
coast some 200 miles. The oil is carried
to the ports by pipe lines, which are COM
parativeIy inexpensive to build over such
short distances. The pipe lines from the
Pennsylvania oil region to the seaboard
at New York are GOO miles long, or thirty
times as long as the existing pipe lines

The effect on the price of coal of the in
PRODUCTION of fuel oil Is a subject of in
teresting speculation. The work of edu-
eating consumers of coal in the use Of
oil has been going on for several years,
but has been a slow process as the use
of fuel oil has involved some difficult
problems and consumers have hesitated
to introduce lit In their work until it has
been fully tried and the economy of its
use demonstrated.
Oil being the only means now known of
breaking the coal monopoly. the posi-
bility has been considered Of monopoliz-
ing the supply of oil in Texas in order to
keep its price up to a level very near that

duction. of coal and oil. The coal depos-

Possibly there are extenuating circum-

swift-running machinery is a dangerous
adornment, and it may be that the chief
of the department only wanted to save
the lady the pain and humiliation of get

Would Not Work.

1t is said that bee stings will cure
rheumatism and several people testify
that 1t Is so. If 1t is shown to be speci-
I'D, the doctors will learn how to extract
the poison from the bees and inject II
more PLEASANTLY than the bees do.-Bir-

That wouldn't work, in our opinion.
The efficacy of the bees treatment de-
ponds largely on the sudden and unex-
pected style they adopt to administer
their remedy. To sit down and have a
doctor shoot the same stuff into you
would lack the important element of sur
prise. and the shock of the bee-sting is
probably what makes 1t effective.
