An Electrical Kitchen.

Of all the cool and convenient
kitchens that housekeepers ever
cdreamed, the electric kitchen is
the coolest and most convenient.
No stove or even gas range: ust
a marble shelf in the pantry with
two or three little discs side by
side. A griddlecake baker or
toaster can be used for any cook
ing that equires a fat surface.
Then there is an oven and cooker
for meats and vegetables. Any
degree of heat can be secured by
simpla turn of the switch. With
this kitchen and golden grain
belt beer the work Of the house
wife would be ideal. The beer is
delicious for the table and con-
tains the most nourishment in
the best form. Better get a case
for your home. Order Of your
nearest dealer or be supplied by
John F, Essler, Bemidji.

Preparations are already being
made for the meeting of the Old
Settlers Association of Beltrami
county which is to be held in Be
midi the latter part of next
month. The arches used during
the recent G. A. r. encampment
were presented TO the city for
the care of them and they are
now being removed to the city
park. There was one arch at the
corner of Beltrami and Third
and another at the corner Of
Fourth and Minnesota. These will
be put up in the park for the
meeting of the settlers.
The pageda used as head
quarters for the old soldiers will
remain standing and additional
improvements will be made on
the grounds for the reception Of
the old settlers. The electric
lights strung through the park
will also be left. These will
probably remain where they are
for some time to come, to be used
on special occasions.

No Bones We're Broken...He
Will Recover.

A. J. Richardson of Cass Lake.
a Great Northern brakeman 81
years of age, was badly injured
while making a coupling at the
Great Northern depot this morn
ing at 1920 o'clock. He was
caught about the hips between
the rear platform of the depot
and a moving freight car and was
rolled the length of the car be
fore he could be released. No
bones were broken but he re-
ceived internal injuries. His
hips and one arm were badly
bruised. He was taken to the
St. Anthony hospital and placed
under the care of DR.. Morrison,
who says that the injuries will
not result fatally, although they
are of a very serious nature.
Richardson has wife and
child living at Cass Lake.
Where the accident occurred
the depot platform is high and
there is little room between it
and the track. The unfortunate
brakeman had just made a coup
ling and had stepped from be-
tween the cars, evidently with
the intention of climbing onto
the platform. Before he could
do this he was caught by the
moving car, one Of the large.
furniture variety. and securely
held. He was rolled over and
over like a log the full length of
the car, and was held in such a
manner that he could not fall be-
meath the wheels. He was picked
up by friends and taken to the
hospital on a dray.

Northern Pacific a
Schedule to Blackjack
and Vicinity.
INTERESTS DULUTH JoBBERs
AND SHIPPERS.
New Rate Schedule Will Go Into
Effect Next Monday,
August 3.

Duluth Herald: A new rate
schedule on the Northern Pacific
road, which will go into effect
Aug. 3, will be of a great deal OF
interest to Duluth jobbers and
shippers.
The schedule deals with rates
from the Twin Cities and Duluth
to Blackduck and further points
on the new Minnesota & Inter
national railroad, and rates from
Duluth are from 2 to 8 cents per
100 pounds cheaper.
A great amount of freight is
being shipped up in the newly
opened country, and it is a mat
ter of surprise among shippers
here that the road gave Duluth
the bestof it, because there was
never any agitation for it.
The difference in mileage to
these points is about twenty
miles in favor of Duluth
The line has been built 18
miles past Blackduck this sum-
mer, and four new towns have
sprung up, which caused the new
schedule. The new places are
Hovey, Kelliher, Dexter and
Northome.
At Hovey the road has been
made into two branches, one
going on to international Falls,
and has reached Kelliher, the
other going due north and has
reached Northome.
About seventy miles of track
are yet left to be built before In
ternational Falls is reached.
This will be completed by early
next summer, and at that time
the Rainy Lake railway will also
have it's line almost done, so that
another year will see two roads
running into the border town,
which is expected to be a rich
shipper for Duluth and the lakes.
The first class rate on freight
is from here to Kelliher, 27O
miles. ALI the rates fall a little
below the rates charged from st.
Paul, and this will give the ship
ping interests of Duluth a shade
the best of the business in that
territory.
Duluth jobbers and wholesalers
look on that territory as a prom
ising land, and Judging from the
amounts of freight shipped into
Blackduck and nearby points
last WINTER the traffic will be
very heavy from here the coming
shipping season.
