I : "a
CHARLES SWEDBACK, the cen
sus enumerator for the village of
Bemidji, enters upon his duties
today. The citizens Of Bemidji
cannot over estimate the import
ances of securing a complete
enumeration of all it's population.
Its standing as a village, under
the law of the state, it's rights
and privileges from many other
standpoints are viewed and de-
termined according to it's popula
ton, and there are many advan-
tages that will accrue to Bemid j
if it can have the report of the
enumeration show all Of it's popu
lation.
! It is a difficult thing for the
enumeration to secure the names
of all the persot who make Be
midi their hume. Probably no
other village in the state is so
peculiarly situated. Hundreds
of it's citizens are now absent
from Bemidji, expecting to re-
turn in the fall, and it will be diff
cult for the enumerator, putting
forth his best efforts, to secure
any trace Of these persons. In
this regard he can be greatly
aided by individual efforts Of its
citizens. Steps should be taken
to enlist the service Of the Com
mercial club, and a general meet
ing should be held and active
steps taken. It might be we'll to
have arrangements made where
by information can be furnished
the enumerater of the names,
ETC., of the absentees.

THE average governor has too
many functions to attend to to en-
joy the honor of his position and
serve the people as he is expected
to during two years term of
tenure. He must accept every
invitation to attend gatherings
no matter where and always be
ready to respond for the state to
all toasts proposed after late sup
pers, which is asking too much
of man of the average physical
ability and more than most men
capable of holding such jobs are
equal to.-Granite Falls Tribune.
This is one of the things we
have a governor for. The gov
ernor is supposed to be the
mouthpiece of the state. 1t may
be true that he does not always
correctly represent it's senti-
ments but on the whole it may be
said that his addresses set forth
the general drift Of the thought
o. the people.

slack seasons after heavy membership
increases in the winter months
Lapses are not an unmixed disadvan-
tage however, it is said, for. in MANY
cases they come from the dropping ont
of members who have been rather a
drag than a benefit to councils
The result of the new basis has been,
in numerous cases, a reduction of the
insurance in force on the part sof older
policy holders, on whom there aresf ever
dependents, than when the insurance
was taken out.
Inasmuch as the action of members
''runs in streaks,0 as it were, it is yet
difficult to determine what percentage
has taken advantage Of the three diff
ferent options, or has retained a
straight life rate. In some councils
most of the members have taken advan.
tage of Option A, in others it is a case
of Option B, and so on.
When any change is made the favor,
ite option seems to be .A,'' which
calls for a constant rate. Some have
taken advantage of the step rate, OF
Option B, while older members often
seem to prefer Option G, in which there
is benefit reduction, instead of a rate
increase.

LIVES IN DANGER AT
THE CITY WORKHOUSE

The installation of electric lights,
city water and proper sewerage at the
city workhouse are among the recon-
mendations of the grand jury that was
discharged yesterday. 1t is stated, IN
the report, that with the present water
supply the lives Of the inmates are In
danger from fire that is liable to be
caused at any time by the use of kero-
sene lamps that now furnish the only
lighting facilities. Not only is the pres
ent water supply thought to be made
quate for fire protection but the present
supply is likely to give out at any time
and the inmates cannot secure water
for the bare necessities of life.
No changes are needed at the poor
farm and the city Jail and workhouse
are all that the jurors think they should
sbe.
In the county Jail the ventilation is
found nd to be poor and the re,arrange- e;
cation of prisoners of varying degrees
Of badness is recommended. It Is
recommended that the county Jail be
re1nodeled to conform with the city.

In the Mississippi Valley Lumberman
of this week Mr.. Menz is quoted in
part as follows:
"The car situation with coast lum-

anyone to sufficiently form an opinion
Of the car situation with coast mills,
even thru a careful reading of COM
ments in the various coast or eastern
lumber trade journals. The mills seem
generally blockaded, iii alleys in their
yards and on their loading and saw

eff the eastern retail lumber dealers
could understand the tremendous fnan-
cial losses that coast mills are COM
age periods, they would have more
patience with delays in shipments, and
! in particular with such delays as have
taken place since the first Of August to
the present date. A movement is un,
der way to close coast shingle mills
during the months of December and
January. Seattle and Tacoma people
are determined that the milwaukee,
railway has it's plans well laid for it's

hopeful that the Hartman lines will
have a Tacoma eHtrance within the
next two years time. --.

Prediction was made in T h e ] u +
a three months ago by R. j. MenZ of
the H. B. Waite Lumber company that
the car shortage would cost the coast
lumber and shingle mill men $I,000,00O.
Mr.. Menu has just returned from Il
long investigation of conditions in the
far west and reports that his estimate
million mark has already been passed.
The situation, in his opinion, is still
very bad.
Mr.. MEMS view of the subject is in
teresting in the light of the fact that
transcontlnental freight traffic men
made light of his dark forecast as to
the ultimate situation.
Reports received yesterday from Pa

found among the true Norwegians. The

with weak muscular attachment. The

the mouth is large. The skin except
in children, is rather dark. The growth

moreover, is slender, with round chest,
and slight muscular development. They
are generally bow-legged, with short,
broad feet and waddling gait. The
Lapps form very distinct race. having
their nearest relatives among the Mon
golian tribes. Their language is nearly
allied to that Of the Finlanders, more
distantly to the other sFinno- Ugrian' =

During the last few centuries, the
Lapps in Finmarken have multi piled

from about 1000 in 1867 to 5000 in
1891. Since 1925, however, the number
of NorWegians has increased so enorm-

amount to more than 40 per cent of the
