BEMIDJI TO THE FORE.

Bemidji is still a very young
town but itsis none too young to
take thought for it's future.
Bemidji has been a good town
and it is going to be a good city
and a big one if we so will it. All
the maklngs of "a most. prosper
Gus and popular city are here
location, supplies and men Of
push and capacity. Such a COM
bination is certain to succeed.
The business men of Bemidji
are pretty thoroughly agreed
that the towns one need is man
ufactures, more Of them, many
of them. No country is better
adapted for manufacturing than
this; the raw material is here at
hand for innumerabla manufac-
turing enterprises and in unlim-
tied quantities, and Bemidji's 10
cation for the transformation Of
the raw materials into the fin
ished product and it's transporta-
ton to market could hardly be
bettered.
What Bemidji now needs is an
organization of it's business men
to make these advantages known
to the world, and to encourage
manufacturing industries to To-
cate here. Keeping faithfully at
this thing will make Bemid ji's
future secure.
We are advised once more to
give thanks. The American peo-
pie have always been good at this
and they will be better this year
of plenty. The past year has
been a great year for the United
States and for everybody in it,
and no Thanksgiving day from
the Pilgrim fathers down will be
more spontaneously observed
than that Of the year of Our Lord
nineteen hundred and three.
THERE is every evidence that
the country about Bemidji is
destined to become g great pro
ducer of garden truck. The
vegetables raised in this section
are the largest and best found
anywhere in the state and no sec
ton of the state produces a
greater variety.

Bad Forest Fire Ayerted.

A bad forest fire was narrowly
averted at Cuba, five miles eastof

A train crew discovered the
woods to be on fire and the sec

and sent out to fight the flames.
Later a special train carrying
fifty men was sent out from Cass
Lake. The fire was gotten under
control. Had it gone on IN,
checked a short time longer
thousands Of dollars worth of
valuable timber would have been
destroyed.

dealers, they will put prices up a
little in order to stimulate sales and
encourage more planting another
year. When Eastern Carolina adopt
ed tobacco raising, it averaged 25
cents a pound while cotton sold for
four and five cents. With a prospect
of eight-cent cotton at least for sew
eraL years in the future, and no
prospect for tobacco, it is expected
that there will be a return to large
cotton crops, and a decrease in to-
bacco in the whole eastern section.-

1st.-The wire is high carbon
basic Open-hearth steel.
2nd.-It is constructed in the
plainest way; that is, horizontals and
cross-bars woven together is all
there is to it. No locks, staples or
other separate devices to hold it to-
gether.
3rd.-It has "Loop Top" or Slid
ing Top Section, so it can be climbed
hundreds of times without deform-
ing or injuring it.
These statements cannot be truth
fully made of any other fence now

BACK FROM NEW YORK
Return of Dr. J. M. Ford After a Five
Months Absence.

DR.. ]. NJ. Ford returned home yester-

York City. the metropolis of America.
AS is generally known. DR.. Ford went
there with George w. Beebe for the
purpose of opening offices for the Ciene-
guita Copper company, of which they
are both leading promoters and whose
properties in Sonora are among the
most notable of the many antigua
mines. Their work in New York has
given very satisfactory results, and
their offices in the Broad Exchange
building ct No. 25 Broad street, are in
the center of the district devoted to
business of that kind, are handsomely
equipped, convenient and altogether de-

an excellent view of the bay, Govern

Though they have not sought stock
sales by advertising methods they have
been very successful in placing stock
privately, and now have an ample

AN UNKNOWN GRAVE
The Man Killed on the M. & P Was
Not Murillo.

The Mexican who was killed by a
Maricopa & Phoenix train week ago
will have to be buried in an unknown's
there could be no doubt that his name
was Genera Murillo whose brother,
Rafael Murillo. lives at Metcalf. There
was found on the body a letter from
Rafael Murillo and communication was
established with him. 1t seemed so
certain that the dead man was his
brother that the body was held at the
undertakers until he could arrive. He
came to town yesterday morning a sor-
rowful man. He went at once to the
morgue but as soon as he saw the
corpse he was filled with joy. 1t was
not the body of his brother. He might
have saved himself the Journey to
Phoenix and have saved the under
takers a world of trouble if he had
mentioned one little thing in one of his
numerous letters and kilograms. His
brother had and presumably has yet a
wooden leg. The corpse has two good
legs only they are dead.
He saw the letter which had been
found on the body and recognized it as
one he had written his brother when
he was in Los Angeles almost a month
ago. How it came into the possession
of the dead n an is mystery in which
he finds cause for alarm which was
somewhat increased by the fact that
he had not heard from his brother
since he sent him the letter. He thinks
it possible that the dead man may be
he murderer of his brother.

INTER-sOCIETY CONTEST
The Students of the Normal Struggle
for Prizes.

The inter-SOciety contest held at the
Normal auditorium, Tempe, Friday ev-
enlng proved to be a big event for the
student body and for the friends of the
students who attended. 1t was q spir-
tied contest from early evening till the
last student left the building. Keen
rivalry was exhibited between the three
societies, the Philomathean, the Olym-
plan and the Alpha. Each society oc-
cupied a division of the auditorium. and
with a profusion of colors and a large
number of banners each group during
the intermssions made the building
ring with yells for their society and for
their representing contestants.
Each society had previously held a
contest of its own to determine the ones
who should contest in this event. The
Athenian Debating club, which is made
up of all the older male members of
the student body. gave the medals,
three in number, one for essay, one
for oratory and one for defamation.
Each of the societies furnished one
| contestant for each of the medals; so
there We're nine in the work, heart and
soul. The judges awarded the medals
as follows: For the essay, to Miss
I-iIliIla Ming OIL the PnllOfnatnean. for
| oratory TO Raymond Alexander of the
| Olympian; for defamation, to Miss
| Nellie Martin of the Olympian.
Each contestant did himself or her
