What They Say y
"
sSEee ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

b. A. Schneider: II think it
would be good plan to adver-
tise the beauties of Bemidji and
this vicinity among the wealthy
people of the south and east in
an effort to bring more summer
tourists here. A booklet show
ing the many beautiful spots on
the lake and describing the ex-
cellent fishing and hunting that
can be obtained in this region
could be prep AIRED and mailed to
the larger cities with results
that, I believe, would be entirely
satisfactory
Oscar Minor: "The city coun-
Gil should make arrangements to
provide a uniform street
and sidewalk grade on all the
principal streets and avenues Of
the city. There are many resi-
dents in my neighborhood who
wish to place cement sidewalks
and establish boulevards in front
OF their property, but owing to
the fact that there is no uniform
grade they do not wish to go
ahead with the work, as chances
are that when a grade is estab-
lished after the building of the
walks and planting of trees and
grass that it will be necessary to
go over the work second time y
n. Larson Orbeck, Grand
Forks: II cannot see why there
are not more cottages built at
Gaand Forks bay and at other
points along the shores of Lake
Bemidji. During my stay here
this summer I have accom-
modated many tourists at my
cottage at the bay, and I am
quite certain that had there been
room for 200 more people there
would have been that many more
tourists here"

would have running sores for life, and
that if they were healed up the result

were prompt and gratifying. It TOOK
only a short while for the medicine toAen-

Chronic sores start often from PINE
pie, scratch, bruise or boil, and whi1e
salves, washes and powders are beneficial,
the unhealthy matter in the blood must
be driven out or the sore will continue
to eat and spread. S. S. S. reaches
these old sores through the blood, re-
moves all impurities and poisons, builds

A LARGE OIL PRODUCTION.
In Spite of Lower Prices january
VIII Lead December.

Chanute, Kan, Jan. 12.-Despite
four cuts in the price of western oil
amounting to Is cents within the past
month, the TRANSPORTATION field
continues to show increased develop
ment over the wonderful record made
last month of over 100000 barrels.
The report of the Standard line de-
partment for the week ending January
z shows total runs amounting to IT,
1858 barrels. The deliveries show
marked increase, while oil put in
storage shows marked decrease. The
daily average for runs amounts to
2.451,23e, against 2.423.05S for De-
cember.
The Standard now has over 5000,
600 barrels of oil in storage in Kansas
and the production amounts to three
times the western consumption. No
relief can be expected until the Whit
ing pipe line is finished It is prob
able that the scent reduction in oil
today together with the movement
among operators to curtail production
until better prices prevail, will show a
falling off in production before the
month is over. If the pace set by the
first week is kept up, however, Kansas
will produce close to 100000 barrels
in January.

Chicago, Jan. 12-President e. P
pany has withdraw his request for a
rehearing before the interstate com
merce commission in the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company rebate case.
His reasons for this action are given
in the following telegram sent to the
chairman of the commission:
Since requesting a rehearfng in the
matter of the investigation of New
Mexico coal rates 1 have been fur
nished with notes of evidence already
taken and find that there is no testi-
mony to support the criticism of the
press that have concerned me per-
sonally the most, and that while there
may have been technical violations of
the law, yet inaSmuch as know them
to have been unintentional and that
they resulted in injury to no shipper
