The Minneapolis Journal has
always been forward in it's work
of encouraging immigration to
all parts of Minnesota. 1t has,
however, been more active in the
work even during the last year.
It is an altogether commendable
paper in that respect, and it's in
fuence has sent great many
settlers into Beltrami and Itasca
counties. The PIONEER has al
ways regretted that the Journal
could not see it's way clear to do
Mr.. Hill and his work justice; but
it has hopes that as his oriental
scheme and it's enormous difficult
ties develop to the mind of the
Journal editor, he will turn the
columns of his paper into as earn
est and energetic advocate OF
producing the Asiatic trade to
the Mississippi valley through
Minnesota, rather than through
the Atlantic coast states, as it has
been of introducing the settlers
into northern Minnesota. Poll

Supt. G. F. Sims, of the Min
neapolis & Northern Elevator
company, returned a couple of
days ago from trip to Bemidji,
where he has been for a few days
the guest of his brother. This
was Mr.. Sims first trip to Be
midi and he reports a feeling Of
genuine surprise at the place.
He says the population is now
over 5000, and the school child
rem number 800. He was greatly
impressed with the fine new
school building and says that the
new court house which is near
ing completion is a magnificent
structure. -
He states that a fine new brick
hotel is being erected that will
be modern throughout and it that
will be a great convenience to the
travelling public. Mr.. Sims be-
lieyes that Bemidji will eventually
be the greatest summer resort
in the state of Minnesota, or the
entire northwest, and regrets
that he did not know of it's adj
vantages before, as he will make
it a point to pay a visit there each
summer in the future for as long
a period as he can afford to leave

High School Notes.

It is hoped that there will be more
time left for our program the coming
Friday afternoon, lack of time being
the cause of the much shortened pro-
gram the last time. Nevertheless what
was lacking in quantity was made up
for in quality. Among the selections
rendered was an essay on '"Trifes''
by Gussie Heffron and she being a
girl who is always careful about the
"trihes" which go towards the making
of the greater things, the essay was
made the more egective. In answer to
the names on the roll call each pupil is
required to give quotation from a
favorite author.
On Thursday of last week Rev. Mr..
Foster visited some of the schoolrooms
For few minutes just before school
closed he spoke very kindly and en-
couragingly to the high school pupils.
Nellie Lunney, of Cass Lake, visited
school Thursday afternoon while in
Bemidji visiting her sister May.
Friday afternoon Rev. Mr.. Broom
field and wife visited the school rooms.
AS Mr.. Broomfield watched the pupils
study he had word of encouragement
for each one, and as in this case we
often realize how much good our edu-
cation may do ourselves and others if
only we do our best and have high
ideals which we try to reach up to.
Saturday morning two of the girls
from the Plane Geometry class discov-
cred how very beneficial that branch
of study really is, in certain part of
housekeeping which they had under
taken.

w. f. Street of Bemidji has
addressed an open letter to the
Minneapolis Journal in regard to
the drainage in the northern part
of the state, and the part the
state should take in the matter.
The letter was published in the
Journal last evening and is as
follows, says the Crookston Times
The enclosed clipping from the
Journal of today Quotations on
S tate drainage from the CONNER
cial West and the governors
message) rather emphasizes the
total lack Of proper information
in the state generally or what can
be accomplished in northern
Minnesota by liberal drainage
appropriations, and therefore an
equal lack of Judgment as to
what a liberal appropriation for
that purpose would be- The
state of Minnesota in it's suit
against the Northern Securities
company has set up that the pro-
posed consolidation would him
der the development and i'm
provment of large tracts of state
lands in northern Minnesota,
presumably on the theory that it
would prevent the building of
new lines into the unsettled re-
gions. 10 . .a IT,.
Now, the fact is, there are hun
dreds of thousands of acres ofgov-
ernment and state land in north
ern Beltrami and Itasca counties
that will never be of any value
for agricultural purposes-rail-
road or no railroad-until the
state has drained them by vast
net work of bitches. I use the
word "vast" advisedly.
An annual appropriation of
$50, 900 for this purpose is a mere
nothing. 1t should be $500, 600
at least. A million dollars ex-
pended in five years would make
dry ground for $4,000 people in
Beltrami county alone, north OF
Red lake, such drainage opera
tions might make homes this side
of the Canadian boundary line,
for 10000 people. The richest
land in the world, underlaid with
hard clay, stretches from the
eastern boundary of Marshall
county to the eastern boundary
of Itasca county, a strip 40 miles
wide bordering on the Rainy riv-
er. The streams run between
high banks, into which hundreds
of bitches should be emptied.
l hope that the Commercial West
will not apologize, but that you
Minneapolis papers will all enter
upon a better appreciation of
what there is in the north this
side of the British boundary.
