Itasca County Record Says
Bemidii Should Have
Land Office.
GIVES SOME VERY GOOD REAS.
ONS WHY THIS SHOULD BE.
Now Costs Settlers Twice What
Ii Should to Get to
Office.


The ltasca County Record,
published at Northome, has the
following to say on the tTndoff
fee question:
Congressman Stevenson has
been dong some tall hustling for
the removal Of the e. S land
Office from Cass =Lakesto Bemidii,
and has induced the president to
have the matter reopened, with a
good prospect of success Be
midi is where that office should
be. Cass Lake is accessible
Ionly from points on the line Of
the Great Northern. SO far as
Itasca county is concernedfBoez
midi the most favored -loca-
ton.
'BemidI has the railroads into
fall parts Of the new district, with
out change OF cars, while Cass
Lake has not even a wagon road
twenty miles long. AH=of north
ern Itasca- and Beltrami counties
are tributary to Benlidji, and the
settlers do not want TO pay two
hotel bills and two railroad fares
every time they go to the land
Office, as they would have to do
| if it remains at Cass Lake. The
/ Minnesota & international rail
way holds the key to the situa-
ton, and on that line should be
located the land office for the
public.
'sNobody wants to lay around
Bemidji several hours each way
waiting tolmake connections for
Cass Lake, and spend two days
with all his witnesses instead OF
one day. Let us have the land
otficeat Bemidji, one day of travel
and expenses less for the people
of the northern part of the dis:
trict, with only Is miles more
railroad travel for the settlers
coming from the east.

RATES FOR WORLDS FAIR
Cheap Fares Will, Railroad Men Say,
Depend Upon Coalitions.
Passengers Agents Demand PrOtec-
tiOn Against ScaIpers' Traffic
in ExcursiOn Tickets.

st. Louis, Oct. 3.-Important among
the subjects considered by the passen-
ger officials of the st. Louis lines at
their meeting, which has just closed,
was that of protecting Worlds fair
excursion tickets from the operations
of "scalpers. The attendance at the
fair will admittedly be largely infiu-
enced by the final adjustment of this
matter, since the railroads insist that
they can not make low rates unless
they are given proper protection.
With such protection half-rate or
one even lower is expected.
At the meeting of the passenger
agents a committee was appointed to
devise means of protection and re-
port October 25 The committee is
composed of L. w. Wakely, general
passenger and ticket agent of the Bur-
lington; C. S. Crane, general passen-
ger and ticket agent of the Wabash,
and A. H. Hanson, general passenger
agent of the Illinois Central.
The chief problem is to find means
of preventing the manipulation by
"scalpers" of the return coupons of
low-rate excursion tickets, such ma
nipulation, it is said infiicting heavy
loss on the railroads every year. The
loss would be particularly heavy. 1t
is said, during the Worlds fair, with
low rates in force from all points.
Passenger officials say the manipula-
ton OF these return coupons amounts
to forgery. In their efforts to stop it
they began prosecutions under the
laws of Missouri for forgery. The cases
they made were thrown out of the
courts on the ground that the Missouri
statute covering the crime of forgery
did not specify forgery of railroad
transportation as an offense, whereas
is mentions forgery of checks, bonds
and such papers
