Travelling Men Go Home.

A notable feature of the
Christmas season is the pilgrim
age which commercial travellers
begin at this time Of the year to-
ward their cities. The ''knight
of the grip" will endure being
on the road at all times and
under all conditions, bnt upon
Christmas day he will be found
at home with his wife and family,
or attending the annual banquet
which the majority Of large
wholesalers tender their sales
men. The comfy fields of trade
are deserted and the merchants
enjoy a brief respite from the
positive calls and persuasion Of
the travellers to buy goods. Quite
a mum Der of wholesale firms with
headquarters in Duluth, Mime
apolis, and Chicago have called
their men in and tonight's train
will bear a small army of the
knights cityWard.

their anxiety has recently been
heightened by the announce
ment that he had gone California
and would probably not return.
Mageau has many friends in this
city. He has been one of the
most extensive contractors in
this vicinity. His present trouble
is said to have been oCcasioned
by the fact that he took con-
tract at Crookston at figure so
low that he lost heavily. His
creditors here have been unable
to hear from him for some time
or get any satisfaction as to his
whereabouts or future intentions
with the result that they have in
stituted lien proceedings. Ma
geau's bondsmen are two we'll
known Crookston business men
and under the provisions of the
contract must make good his
liabilities for the two contracts
in this city which he has failed to
care for himself.

several months. During his stay
here he has made many friends

Old Time Labor Leader
Would Form a Woods
mans Union.
SEVERAL MEETINGS HAVE BEEN
HELD AT MALLARD.
dad" Foster, Famous in A. R. U,
Trouble, Interests Himself
in the Matter.

"Dad" Foster, once one Of the
foremost labor leaders in the
state and gentleman who has 6
wide acquaintance throughout
Minnesota, is making an effort tc
organize a labor union among the
woodsmen of northern Mime
sofa. has held several meetings
at Mallard and has succeeded in
arousing considerable interest
among the men who are en-.
ployed in that vicinity.
Two meetings have been held
at Mallard which were quite
largely attended and another
will be held tonight at which
time it is hoped to organize the
initial local union Of what the pro
moters hope to have one OF the
strongest in the country in a few
years. The name proposed for
the union is the American Union
of Woodsmen and 1T is designed
to include in it's membership all
employees who are working in
the woods in any capacity. It is
proposed to adopt a scale of
wages which will be uniform
with the labor and skill required
and to be fixed by a certain
standard Of competency and ex-
perience. Mr.. Foster repre-
sents the Central Labor Bureau,
affiliated with the American
federation in his efforts and is
known as one Of the ablest and
best labor organizers in the
country. During the A. R. U.
strike he was employed as a con-
ductor on the Great Northern at
St. Cloud and took an active part
for the strikers, gaining himself
az u reputation throughout the
env4le Northwest.
AS soon as he is able to effect
an organization at Mallard he
will devote his attention to other
sections of the state where there
is numbering this winter and tits
hoped before the end of the
season to have the nucleus OF
what will be very strong organ
ization.

Engineer Ralph, Of the State
Drainage Board to Select
Site This Winter.
WILL PROBABLY BE In NORTH
WESTERN PORTION.
$4,000 of State Money to Be
Spent in Draining Swamp
Lands of the County.

Engineer Ralph, of the state
drainage board, is expected to
come to BemidJi some time after
the first Of the year to go over
the ground with Senator Swed-
back, for the state ditch Tor
which S25, 200 was appropriated
at the last session Of the legis]a-
ture.
The location has not yet been
decided upon but it will probably
be somewhere in the nor Invest
ern portion of the county, as the
provisions of the appropriation
are that a certain amount of state
lands must be benefited by the
ditch. Senator Swedbac and
Engineer Ralph will go over the
ground together ana the ulUcn
will be located where the great
est results may be obtained from
the amount of money invested.
1t will be the first state ditch in
Beltrami county. It will give
the state drainage board a very
good idea of what results may be
expected from drainage in this
section and also Of the cost of
maintenance and construction.
The amount of money appropri-
ated is not sufficient to build a
long ditch but it will be of inesti-
mable value to the lands itaffects
,and will more than double the
selling price of the state lands
which it is designed to drain.

MORE POWER DEMANDED.
Premier Laurier Says Canada Should
Make Her Own Treaties.

Ottawa, Ont, Oct. 26.-Sir wilfrid
Laurier, premier of the Canadian cab
met, declared in the house If COM
mons that Canada must secure her
own treaty making power independent
of Great Britain. He declared that as
long as Canada remained dependent
upon Great Britain her powers would
not be sufficient for the maintenance
Of her rights.
It was important, said Premier Lau-
'rier. that Canada should ask Great
Britain for more extensive powers so
that if the Dominion ever faced diff
culties like the Alaska question again
she would be able to deal with them
in her own way.
He referred to the government not
having authority under existing po-
litical limitations to bring down the
whole Alaskan correspondence to show
her true position and asserted with
marked emphasis that the government
will have the whele correspondence
at the next session Of parliament, mo
matter what protests may come from
abroad"

clared, he had viewed with regret hav.
ing to live alongside q grasping and
