SUBSCRIPTION SIS PER YEAR
Three Years Behind The
Times.

The commissioners Of the gen.
eral land office has decided that
that portion of the land laws pre-.
mitting the sale of government
lands containing pine at private
sales to cash purchasers was re.
pealed in 1902 sby implication. .
Although it is now nearly three
years since congress acted it was
not until this month that the
commissioner implied the repeal.
If congress repealed the law
three years ago why has the
commissioners premittea the
sales all this time, only to now
notify innocent purchasers that
their lands, for which they have
paid their money and to which
they hold title warranted by the
government, are to be taken away
from them? The decision of the
commissioner is certainly a great
injustice to the peopleiof northern
Minnesota.
It looks as though the commits.
sioner of the general land office
is about three years behind the
times.

Timber Resources.

BELTRAMI county's resources
in timber, outside Of pine, are
far more considerable than is
generally supposed. Poplar.
tammarack, oak and birch are to
be found in all parts of the county
in immense quantities. The
western part of the county, pene-
trated by the Red Lake railway
and by the spur to be built north
from Wilton is a hard wood belt
containing thousands uponsthous-
ands of the finest fuel wood in
the country. Favorable rates
will enable the people of Beltrami
county to put this wood on the
market and will make the wood
industry OF this county one of
colossal magnitude. The news
that the Great Northern will haul
out wood from all points along
the proposed spur north from
Wilton to the main line for 25
cents per cord means that the
wood industry will speedily be-
come one of the greatest in the
county. With favorable rates
from other parts of the county
Beltrami county will enter upon
a new prosperity and it's develop
ment will go forward by leaps
and bounds.

T0 the People Of Mississippi:

To the People of Mississippi:
! hope the people q Mississippi
will not be disturbed by the decline in
the cotton market of the last few
days. This decline has been brought
about by a bear raid and the reaching
of tie stop loss orders. The weak
long interests have been eliminated,
and while the market may hang
around present prices for several days,
it must in the near future advance
materially. Freeze to your cotton
and do not sell bale at present prices.
The spot market is entirely in your
hands, and you have only to demand
your price, and you will get it,

Pres. Miss. Cotton Association.

NecrOlo gical.

Mrs. Sarah Hewitt was born in
Choctaw county, Alabama, on Jan. l3,
1895. In girlhood she professed faith
in Christ and joined the Methodist
| Church. In 1854 with her parents
| she moved to Holmes county. Her
maiden name was Sarah johnson. On
the 9Th day Of November, 1855, she
was married to Robert Hewitt. After
their marriage she joined the Bapt-
ist Church Of which they lived con-
sistent member to the day of her
death, which sad event occurred Oct.
20, 1905, aged II years, 9 months
and l6 days Sister Hewitt was a
woman of strong faith; she never
doubted the promises of God. In all
her troubles and affections in life she
recognized the hand Of God, and was
submissive without a murmur. She
had always lived an active life and in
her last affection her greatest trial
was to give up doing for the comfort
of others, for it was thus she had
spent her life. Not only for the COM
fort Of those of her household, but
for any and all that were in need, if
there was trouble or sickness in her
neighborhood, she was there to com,
fort or to serve. 1t was my privi-
lege and it was a privilege-to be
with her in her last illness, and new
er saw a brighter manifestation of
faith and resignation in my life. 1t
was with difficulty that she could
breathe, but she would speak of the
going with smile. Like the Apostle
Paul she desired to be absent from
the body and present with the Lord,
but if it was His viii she was willing
to suffer on till His appointed time,
and when it did come it was like one
going to sleep. Blessed are the dead
which die in theLord from henceforth;
yea, saith the spirit, that they may rest
from their labors, and their works do
follow them. HER PASTOR.

corning the narrow mind dnesss
Of some Of those who by virtue.
misplaced confidence sometimes
get into judicial positions.
Judge Davis might have believ
ed Nan Patterson guilty, but re-
spect for himself and the errnine
he sdisgraced, should certain
" have restrained him from a
bitter declaration of it in a pub.
lie gathering.
A criminal judge stands as
the personific ation Of justice as
a bulwork between the citiz en-
and unjustified punishment.
He should so conduct himself
both on the bench and as a citi-
zen so far as his public acts are
concerned that there would be a
public respect for his Integrity.
When he becomes a public scan
dal-mouger and a biased crank
the people lose respect for him
and the courts and respect for
the law becomes correspondingly
small, leading to anarchy and
revolution. Judges such as in
dicated have done more to fasten
this spirit in the American peo-
pie than all other causes com
bined.

THE PEOPLE. ARE THE
BOSSES,

That class Of political agitators
who are constantly proclaiming
that the masses of the Ameri.
can people have lost their politi.
cal independence because Of
political parties and I, political
BOSSES, should learn a lesson
from the declaration of Senator
Depew Of New York before the
Union League of Philadelphia a
few days ago. He said:
The people admire Roose-
welt SO much that he is going
to have a harder job to keep &,
out Of the presidency for
another term than he had
to get that twelfth bear.
Any thinking man knows
these words. are as true as the
sermon on the Mount. The peo-
pie wanted Roosevelt nominated
last year and it was done without
opposition. No one can for, a
moment doubt that his frank
and emphatic declaration that
he would not again be a candi-
date was absolutely sincere.
Yet he will ! have !. far more
] trouble to. prevent the people,
who care little for precedent,
from violating the custom Of a
century and forcing a nomina-
ton. for a. third term upon him,
than he had in .sucuring the
nomination last3year at Chica;
/ go. 1T lis aGpolitical axiom that
The politicians, oppose him, and
public Office is not often thrust
ftipon a man against his will.
These being true, the demand for
more of his administration is
proof that the people rule in
politics end that their will is SUI
preme. The contention to the
contrary usually comes from un:
scrupnlous politicians who are
not with the people, and attempt
to play patriot in order to de
ceiye the public

Senior Class
Enjoy Picnic

Monday the senior class Of the
high school held the class picnic
at Sulley's hill on the reserva-
ton. The juniors were invited
and nearly all attended, as did
Prof. Griebenow, making a
merry crowd Of nearly forty;
persons. Some Of the gentlemen
remained up all night in order
to get an early start, but it was.
$50 before the last carriage was
on its way. The drive in the
bright May morning was a de-
lightful one, and it was nearly
noon before a place for the prin-
cipal feature of the dayth
dinner was found. The slop-
and grassy shore Of a small lake
was finally selected, and the
lunch which was prepared by the
lady seniors was soon spread in
tempting array. The early after
noon was spent in sight seeing,
and a drive was then made to the
/ Chautauqua park where under
the stately trees. supper was
served. The class yells given
while driving through the streets
of the city proved that all were
safely returned. / The day was
truly as2idelightful one and
thoroughly enjoyed by the young
people after, many months of
arduous work in the school room.
The juniors were the invited
guests of the class, and barring
the loss Of the cream which was
left on the reserva tion, one of
the youngsl aides getting lost and
causing onsiderable anXietyibe-
fore she was found ctand theaas-
,s8ult blythe other classes on the
return .eysryb ody was: delighted
with the trip.

There are often peculiar ma
tional alliances made necessary
by the diversified interests Of
the nations in different parts Of
the world. Just now conditions
in the Mediterranean make
England and France the strong
est allies, while English sym
pathy for Japan and French
sympathy for Russia make them
national enemies. It would be
rather amusing to see two ma
lions fighting each other on one
side of the globe and their fleets
and armies united against a COM
mon enemy on the other.
