tion for Division.
GRAND RAPIDS, MINN.-The question Of d.
viding Itasca county is to be submitted to the
people, and there seems to be every prospect that
the proposition will carry. The north half Of
the county, comprising the Rainy lake region
tional wants to go It alone and the people Of
the southern part do not seem inclined to pre-
vent them.
Koochiching, and International Falls, the boom
ing town Of the Rainy river, wants to be the
county seat Ripple, the present terminus of
the Minnesota & International, also aspires to
that honor, but the general opinion is that
International Falls will get the plum.
The line of division. as agreed upon, will run
between townships 50 and 60 in the ranges
numbered from the fourth principal meridian and
between $50 and ISL numbered from the fifth.
This will make a. territory seight townships by
ten giving total area OF close onto 5000
square miles and having a population Of 5000,
according to the recent state census. It viii be
slightly larger than the part left to Itasca coun-
ty. but Its assessed valuation will be but 81

FRENCH CHURCH LOSS
CATHOLIC PROPERTY VALUED AT
sso,ooo,o 900 FORFEITED.

PARIS, November 3.-The minister of
public instruction and worship, NJ. BRAND,
today announced in an authorized inter-
view that the government did not regard
the Catholic Church as being in revolt
against the law providing for the separa
ton of the church and state, or against the
state. The Catholic Church having simply
declined to take advantage of it's privilege,
under the law, as the other religions did.
on December IL would forfeit it's $4,000 900
of property and thereafter would live under
the common law.
There would be neither martyrdom nor
prosecutions of the faithful. The churches,
as state and communal property would
remain open for Catholic worship. The OBJ
ject for which the republican party in
France had struggled for thirty years, the
minister said, had been achieved. The
concordat was at an end. the state would
no longer contribute to the support of any
religion, and priests would no longer enjoy
privileges. In both their duties and obli-
cations they would be on an equality with
other citizens. In otter words. the state
was at least neutral toward all religions
and would permit the exercise of all Of
them, with special favors to none.

LOEB RATHER INCREDULOUs.
Doubts the Stories Sent Out About the
Presidents Outing.

Secretary Loeb has no official news at
the White House as to the movements Of
the President since he went to Pint Knot,
his country home in Albemarle county,
Va. Mr.. Loeb much doubts some of the
stories that are being sent out as to what
the President is doing in hunting turkeys,
'possums, 'coons. etc. He says that most
Of them look wonderfully fafry-like to him
wonderfully like the pleasant, harmless
myths Of the ("have-to-get-a-story'' news
paper boys. Mr.. Loeb Is absolutely certain
that somebody is wrong in sending out
story that after the President had tramped
half a day the other day and failed to kill
a wild turkey or. even see one he shot
rabbit. Mr.. Loeb allowed today that it
didn't sound much like the President, who
is not accustomed to shooting rabbits, and
who seldom goes after anything Of so tame
a nature. Besides, the killing of rabbits
by the President would be taking some
well-earned laurels away from Mr.. Loeb.
who Is recognized as the most famous rab-
bit hunter In the administration.
Mr.. Loeb is pleased that the President
Is having good time at his country home.
and reports that everything Is all right at
the White House. The fact is that when
the President went away he put Mr.. Loeb
on the lid, both Secretary Taft and Secre-
tary Root being out of the city Mr. Loeb
has kept the lid down in good shape and
is willing to continue to sit on 1t as long
as the President is likely to receive any
physical benefits from his little excursion
to Virginia.

TO ADVANCE EFFICIENCY.
Recommendations Of Naval Academy
Visiting Board.

The board of visitors to the Naval Acad-
envy has submitted its report to the Secre-
tary of the Navy and has made a number Of
recommendations designed to improve the
efficiency of the institution It Is recon-
mended that the detail Of all officers to the
Academy be for periods Of not less than
three years; that professors receive lon
gevity pay; that civilian professors and in
structors be allowed Communication of quar-
tiers and the privilege of purchasing coal
and wood at government rates, and that
the Naval Academy library be exempted
from the restrictions Of the public printing
law.
In the opinion Of the board the architect
and contractor should be held Jointly re-
sponsible for the defects in construction
and delays in the work on the terrace and
mess hall and 1t is suggested that every
effort be made to correct the defects in
Bancroft Hall and to complete the build
ing at the earliest possible moment. To
remove the existing menace from fire, the
board recommends the early requirement
Of the three blocks Of private ground neces-
sary to extend the boundaries OF the Acad-
envy grounds to King George street. It is
also recommended that the new unoccupied
superintendent's house be converted into
sick quarters for the midshipmen at an ex-
pense not exceeding $4,000 and that other
provision be made for the superintendents
residence.

SPOKE FOR ROOSEVELT
TAFT TELLS IDAHO VOTERS HOW
THE PRESIDENT FEELS.



POCATELLO, Idaho, November 3-Bear-
ing a message from President Roosevelt
"as private citizen Secretary of War
Taft last night defended Governor Norris
son for his courage in running to the
ground the assassins of Ex-Governor Steu-
nenberg.
THE issue in Idaho he said, lis whether
a, governor who has done his duty ia taking
the legal steps to bring to trial men charged
with .heinous crime is to be marked for
defeat when he stands for reelection BY
the injudicious and over-zealous friends of
the men charged.
THE question is whether notice is to be
served to the world that the people of
Idaho do not welcome in their chief exec
utiye officer the bringing to the bar Of ius-
tice men charged with crime If the men
charged are thought to be able by reason
or connection with large associations to
summon to the polls many voters to visit
fetal.
L come to Idaho to address you at the re-
quest of Mr.. Roosevelt, not as President
but as a citizen and lover Of right and
justice and law"
He spoke of the efforts that haye been
put forth by the President in the interest
of labor, and then took up national ques-
tons, saying the national issue was wheth.
er President Roosevelt and the republican
Congress had done anything or failed to do
anything which disentitled them to a con-
tinuation of the confidence of the people as
expressed in the election of 1904.
