The chief value Of a daily news
paper in a city of the size Of Be-
midi lies in the evidence whichit
affords to the outside world Of
the push and enterprise of the
city's business men. 1t is a
standing advertisement to all
men of the fact that the city is
one Of no uncertain future.
A daily news paper, outside of
the bigmetropolitan newspapers,
must be supported largely by
the city in which it is published.
Such paper is not worthy of
that support unless it is of such
a character as to attract attention
wherever it is found, unless it is
a live, up to date newspaper,
thoroughly covering the local
field, printing the news Of the
world the day that it happens
and upholding with a virile pen
the interests of the section from
which it draws its support.
The Daily Pioneer has been
published now nearly two years
and it has endeavored to be such
a paper. That it has in large
measure succeeded we have every
reason to believe. It has been
loyalty supported by the great
majority of the business men OF
the city and it's general newsi.
ness together with it's profusion
of fresh attractiYely displayed
advertisements has called forth
much favorable comment for Be
midi from the state press and
from every stranger to the city
into whose hands the paper falls.
The two years experience has
abundantly demonstrated the
value Of a live daily newspaper te
a live town.

Damming Navigable
Streams,

The practice of damming nayi-
gable streams by the government
for the benefit of mill owners in
the twin cities is one that threat
ems to result in inconvenience
ard loss to settlers living above
| the dams. In order to settle any
such losses which may occur. to
| the residents of this section the
government has made an offer to
purchase lands liable to overflow
but the offer is accompanied by
the proposal of an arbitrary price
which amounts to practical con-
fScation of the land. The
government offers So per acre
for these lands. What a pitiful
.pittance this is may be realized
when we stop to consider that
the lands which the government
wishes to buy are hay meadows
and that upon these hay meadows
the farmers of Itasca and Bel
trami counties are beginning to
build up stock raising industry.
1t is just this sort of enterprise
which this country stands most
in need of and to take away valu-
able hay meadows from the set
tiers at any price or to cause
them to be inundated every sea-.
son is a calamity which no one in
this section can contemplate with
equinamity.
The matter is now in litigation
and we have faith that will event
ually be settled as the interests
of this section dictate.

The Horseradish.

Horseradish usually is given corner
of the garden and there left to take
care of itself In this way it will grow
and supply an uncertain amount of
roots. On clay soil it becomes a
troublesome weed, but on the light
land it spreads slowly. A much better
quality of root can be grown with a
little cultivation. The roots are CUT in
pieces three or four inches long. Small
roots that are unfit for grating may be
used for this purpose. These are
planted top end up, between the rows
of peas at the time of sowing or late
all that is necessary is to make hole
with a stick deep enough so that the
top of the root Is about three inches
below the surface. When the peas are
cultivated the tops are cut off If any
get above the ground. After the peas
are out of the way the horseradish
is allowed to grow. It will soon cover
the ground with it's broad leaves and
will need no further attention till fall,
when it may be dug and stored for
use as desired. If the soil is loose and
fertile the roots will be large and Of
a superior quality. When grown in
this way 1t does not interfere with
early crops and affords covering for
the ground during the hot, dry part
of summer In many places the sur
plus may be sold at a good profit

about four days until it heats, and
again cOols to 80 degrees. Then put in
six inches of rich soil (b). Sandy loan
is best, but If that is not available use
clay soil with sand added and mixed
Do not pack the soil firmly, but allow
it to remain in loose, open layer

seed in rows four to six inches apart
Cover lightly and water thoroughly.
Considerable care is necessary in at
tending bed of this kind, says the Or
ange Judd Farmer. Give it all the sun
possible, and when the sun falls direct
ly upon the sash raise one edge a few
inches to allow the air to change Avoid
allowing the cold air to blow directly
upon the plants. Water heavily rather
than frequently, soaking the ground at
least once week, or as frequently as the
surface becomes dry. Stir dhe surface
soil frequently, and do not allow it to
bake into hard cake. Be sure that it is
loose enough for the tender plants to
push through the surface. Some plants
require more heat than others, and the
bed must be kept more closely covered
Lettuce, radishes and cucumbers re-
quire cooler beds, about IS to IS degrees,
while tomatoes, melons, ETC., should be
kept at higher temperature When the
plants are sufficiently matured, they may
be transplanted in the bed or removed
to open ground and grown to maturity.

PATIENCE.

(Leweil Otus Reese, in Les!es Weekly
Have you wearied of the battle? Have
you grown discouraged, son?
Locking backward in liie,s pathway, is
1t little you haye done?
Does the woof beneath your fingers
seem to tangle more and more
While the riddle OF the future seems
yet stranger than before?
Just be patient for season, for at last
the mystic fates
Bring the tangle threads out even (, r
the ore who works and waits.
Does she shyer seem and farther from
your loves entreating hands
Than bis harbor from the sailor wreck
ed upon the barren lands?
Is the call of music stronger than your
hearts beseechlng cries
As she whirls amid the gay ones with
the glamour on her eyes?
Yet be patient. Youth will waken,
and at last the time will come
When the heart no more Is s,itlsd and
when love will not be dumb.
Have you seen your idols falling by the
road you bravely trod
With your wh Ole lie dedicated to your
people and your Gcd?
Did you lift against the dragon daunt-
lessly your single lance,
To be stricken down by malice or the
sword OF circumstance?
Still be patient, oh, my brother, and
take courage in the fight
For your own soul will reward you in
the battle for the right!
Have you wandered in the wilderness
till hope is nearly dead,
While the flying brush OF time has
painted winter on your head?
Is the promised land no nearer to you,
anxious, dimming eyes
That have watched the silent heavens
for glimpse of Paradise'
Patience Just little longer, and the
dark night will be gone,
And your soul behold the splendor Of
the everlasting dawn!

Steel -Roadways.

The broad steel tracks for vehicles laid
several years ago in Murray street, New

street is to be paved with wooden blocks.
The steel tracks were not regarded as
success, principally because Of the
crowded condition of the street, which
prevented their regular use The Scien-
tidc American contends that this test
was not conclusive, and that such tracks
should be tried on long country hills and

Science in Butter Making.

To them it was all one whether the
cream was thick or thin. Since the test
has been brought into use it is discov-
cred that a cream that contains about
IS per cent of pure butter fat is best
for buttermaking. The cream that is
only about Is per cent. pure butter fat
often develops too much acid and makes
