MOVEMENT ON FOOT TO ORGAN
IZE COUNTY AGRICULTURAL
SOCIETY.
A PROPERLY CONDUCTED SO
CIETY A GREAT BENEFIT III
TO COUNTY. ~.
HOMESTEADER AND FAMILY
WORTH HALF DOZEN r-r u
LUMBERJACKS.

For the past four years there
has been more or less discussion
and agitation on the subject of
organizing a Beltrami county Ag-
riculture society and holding a
county fair. Numerous attempts
have been made to organize such
an association but so far they
have failed to materialize into a
practical working organization.
The exhibits made by Beltrami
county at the Minnesota state
fair in 1900 and 1901 were credit
able to the county and attracted
much attention to the agricul-
tural possibilities of this vicinity.
That we ought to have a we'll or
ganized agricultural society and
hold an annual fair seems to be
the general opinion, but when it
comesto working out the details
a great majority seem more in
clined to find fault with those
who attempt to do something
than they are to join hands in the
work and make such an organiza-
ton successful. The diversity
of opinion regarding the purpose
and plans of the organization
ought to be harmonized intosome
effective form for action. Ifany-
thing is to.he accomplished this.
wear the work should be inaugu
rated at once. ..s>. s..5.... a...... ~
epurposes and advantages Of
such an organization do not seem
to be we'll understood by the
business men, who should be the
most interested, as they are the
first to be benefited by such an
organization. A properly con.
Quoted local agricultural society
is decided benefit to any local.
ity, but more especially beneficial
in a new country where the re-
sources are yet undeveloped and
all forms of business are passing
their ormative period.
The agricultural possibilities
of Beltrami county are not as yet
well understood or appreciated
by the business men in our
towns, or by the homesteaders
themselves. That the future of
the county depends upon the in
telligent development of it's rich
AGRICULTURAL resources is a recOg-
nized fact. Persons familiar with
the history of agriculture appre-
ciate the fact that fairs, institu-
tes, farmers clubs and the press
are the factors that give direc-
ton and impetus to the develop
ment and resources of any local
ity.
The fact that at the present
time so large a percentage of the
labor generally employed lnsome
form of numbering industry EN-.
phasizes the necessity for those
public spirited citizens who are
interested in the well being O1
the community to foster and en-
courage it's agricultural develop
ment.
1t has been practically demon
strated that all varieties of vege
tables, grains, grasses and clover
can be grown not only on the
black heavy soil but also on the
light, sandy soils or jack pine
lands.
One of the first results of g
well organized and properly con,
Quoted society will be to attract
attention to and interest IN the
undeveloped agricultural resour,
ces. Nothing will do this more
intelligently and forcibly than

zone of the most important ques-

the forest reserves Of the state, to the
end that the boundaries might be es-

when those looking after these mat
ters have no knowledge OF the exact
conditions. The boundaries should
conform with the natural watersheds
from which water flows to the lrrigat-
ed regions Of our state, and to the end
that no land in Idaho may be tied up
or withdrawn from settlement.

the survey of government lands 50

Famous SquaW Man Dead.

Gilbert McLoughlin, a half breed
Indian, and one of the most pictur-
esque characters of the northwest,
died at Port Hill, April 2Sth, last.
He was born about so years ago neal
Astoria in what was then Oregon.
His father was Chief Factor John
Mclaughlin, of the Hudson Bay Co.,
and his mother was an Indian.
While his rough exterior told of the
forest, he inherited the better quail
ties and finer feelings of his white
ancestor. His father planted the
first grain along the Columbia in 1884.
Gilbert was taken to Paris, when
young, but never lost his love for the
quietude OF the forest. He was In
the employ of the Hudson Bay Co.,
until about 1863, when he took up a
homestead, married Kootenai squaw
and contented himself with simple
eXistance.
His character was irreproachable
and all his white neighbors and the
entire Kootenai tribe followed the re-
mains to the grave. His wife dice
several years ago, but several sons
and daughters survive him.
