preacher with his small voice
voice was not in it little bit so
he mounted the pulpit and sum.
moning every breath in his body
he shouted:
Beloved, 1 perceive that there
are more preachers here than
people and I am fain to believe
that I really am not needed.
Permit me to cast myself into
the outer darkness" And he
went out into the night by the
back door.
But the after meetings in
Northland have not progressed
to this stage Of development as
yet, and a visit to the church of a
Sunday evening is well worth
while. The preacher sits in the
middle of a wide platform with a
big stick with which he lays
down the law of time for choir
and congregation in regular
rythmatic thuds. On his left
hand is a quartette of bearded
men and on his right four boys,
barely more than babes. These
nine make the choir and their
singing is good to hear.
There were times in the early
days when people were won't to
inquire, 'Can any good thing
come out of Northland?" That
time is long past,

Little Chapters From Life
The Disputatious Preacher.

It takes competition to make
things go. A few years ago
there was but one lone church
member in all the thriving village
Of Northland. But a Methodist
man came to town and organized
another church and the Congre
gationalists woke up right away
and got busy. Now they have
both got new churches and plenty
ofsmembers.
The pastor of the Congrega-
tional church is a big man with a
small voice and a tremendous
love of fighting. He has a way
of keeping the people for an af.
ter meeting and inviting them to
find fault with the sermon right
then and there or forever after
hold their peace. Some Of the
flock are getting SO they can put
up a very pretty fight to the pas
tor.
Once in a while a ember is
found who wants to take the
pastor out on the railroad track
and have it out alonewith him but
the pastor is wary in the way
and the doctrines of life and
death and salvation are settled
right in the midst Of the congre-
cation.
But although the pastor is
always spelling for a fight, he
knows when to run away. He
frankly relates how on former
charge where about every man
in the church was a separate
denomination unto himself he
once held an after meeting and
the discussion upon kittle points
of doctrine finally reached the
point where sisters matched
tongue against tongue and.
brothers fist against fist. Our

Under this caption the Duluth
News Tribune points a moral in
the matter Of drainage which
should make every man in north
ern Minnesota the more jealous
for the cause of drainage. Wei
are glad to quote the editorial in
full:
Eight state bitches have been
completed in Minnesota this
year, several of which had been
commenced last year. The drain
age expenditure for two years
has been $4,000, the drainage
commission having gone to the
limit with available funds. The
bitches constructed have made
important links in the drainage
system of the Northwestern part
fof the state and thousands Of
acres of worthless lands have
been made ready for the plough.
Of these bitches the cheapest
one to be Observation-Disclosures
in the history of state ditching-
| lies few miles north of Bemidji.
| Here was large tract of TIM er-
less swamp known as the "Big
Meadows Grass grew rank
thereon, but the presence of
standing water has heretofore
| prevented the gathering of much
hay. Five Thousand acres was
EN- braced in this soaked tract, of
which nearly two thousand acres
belonged to the state. This sum-
mer a five mile ditch was driven
through the ''Big Meadows at
a cost of $500 per mile.
For each acre reclaimed on the
"Big Meadows" fifty cents were
expended. The cost Was small
so was the result; but as real
example of drainage benefit, the
"Big Meadow ditch" is great in.
Importance.
It affords a practical example
on a small scale of what should
be practiced on large scale in
every swamp district of the
state.
Last year there was an IN.
profitable morass north of a
thriving town, swamp of uncer-
tain and speculative value.
This year there lies in it's place
a well-drained meadow, Offering
| 160-acre homes to thirty -one
families, and an expanded market
to the merchants of Bemidji and
those of the state.
Last year the state owned two
Thousand acres of unsala BILE land.
This year the same land can be.
readily sold at a price four times
greater than the total sum ex-
pended in building the five mile
ditch.

partment and it is suggested that
there is possibility that the Rus
slams may not be masters Of the Leao-
Tung peninsula when the consul ar
rivcs.
There is no personal objection TO
Mr. Morgan, but on the contrary, he
was popular with Russian officials at
ST. Petersburg. where ne spent a num-
ber OF years as an attacho cf the
American embassy.
Secretary Hay was clearly annoyed
when The Russian note reached him
and he took it to the white house for
a consultation with the president It
was then decided to permit Mr. Nor
gan to sail from San Francisco for
Yollchoma Before he touches land
there may be change in the Oriental
war situation which will enable him
to go to Dalney and begin his duties.
There is no question about the
right OF the Russian government un-
der the circumstances to refuse to
issue an eXequatur. Dalny is on the
Leao-TOng peninsula, which is in pos
session of the Russians under a long
lease. A few years ago the Turkish
government refused to issue an exc
quator TO an American consul who
had been assigned to a city in the
interior of Turkey. This refusal was
based on a military necessity during
revolt.
This government can net insist on
Mr. Morgan being received at Dalny,
but it can exhibit enough dlspleasure
al the Russian attitude to make it
clear to the authorities at St Peters
burg that their refusal to receive Mr..
Morgan is not regarded vita favor.

ACTS OVER RUSSIAN PROTEST.

Mr.. Hay decided TO permit Morgan

Consul Morgan is now on the way

hence at Yokohoma. The fact that

communicated to Mr. Hay in a polite
note from the Russian government.
It was also explained that Mr Morgan
would not be permitted to land at
Dalny. Russia explained that Dalny
Is within the zone of Russian military

for the government TO permit for.
