Thomas Moore.

Measured by the popularity and mar
ket value Of his poems when they were
written, Thomas Moore has no rival
among the poets of Ireland. While en-
gagged at his Irish melodies, in which he
was at his best-for they called forth
the powers in which he most excelled-
he was paid 600 year by his pub
fishers. Their immense and we'll merit
ed success induced Iongman to give
Moore 5000 guineas- the highest price
that had up to that time been paid for
a poem-for "Lalla Rookh," the gor-
geous eastern romance which dazzled
and delighted readers of that day, but
is now rarely read. AS a lyric poet
Moore was, like Burns, one Of the best
writer's we have ever had of words
for music" and, in his case at least.
the words are inseparable from the
music. Goldsmith, poet of a different
order and with a wholly different ex-
perience, got little popularity and less
money for his poetry, but in ''rhe Trav-
eller'' and ..The Deserted Village" he
has better chance of Immortality than
his ompatriot.-London Tit Bits.

LEGISLATORS ARE DEEPLY IMPRESSED by
FAR-FAMED WONDERS OF NORTH COUNTRY
Northern Minnesota 10 K Say Visitors From Southern Counties
Second Junket Converted as Easily as Was
the First

"The half has ne'er been told. u
Such is the consensus of opin-
ion of the party of members of
the legislature, jobbers and COM
mercial men of the twin cities
and the southern aud central
portion of the state relative to
the agricultural possibilities of
the undeveloped portion of north
ern Minnesota lying along the
line of the M. & I. railway north
of Bemidji. A party of thirty,
aboard a special train, spent yes
terday at Big Falls, Northome,
Margie, Mizpah, Blackduck and
other points, inspecting the soil,
looking at exhibits of agricultural
products and discussing ways
and means of assisting in the
development of the vast area of
land commonly termed by many
of the people of the twin cities as
the "big swamp" and mapping
out . campaign for drainage of
state lands in the north country
through Legislative action during
the coming winter.
The special train of three cars,
in charge of c.. w. Mott, immi-
grafton agent of the Northern
Pacific railway, w. H. Gem mill,
general manager of the Mime
sofa & International railway, and
W. H. Strachau, superintendent
of the M. & l., left St. Paul Mon
day evening and arrived at Big
Falls at Tuesday morning.
The party was met at Big Falls
by delegation Of citizens and a
band and escorted to hotel,
where breakfast was served,
after which a fine exhibit of
agricultural prod ucts was shown
and there we're several speeches
delivered.
Professor Thomas Shaw of ST.
Paul, an expert on agriculture
and one of the principal mem bers
fthe faculty at the State Agri-
cultural College, spoke at some
length. He had come up on this
trip to satisfy himself as to the
reports of the agricultural pos
sibilities of this north country.
He was very favorably impressed.
He had examined the exhibits of

roots, grains and grasses, and
soil, and considered it a wonder.
full showing; and he believed that
this land was capable of growing
better grains, grasses and vege-
tables than any other section of
the great "North Star State" s.
Samuel G.. Iverson gave an ex-
cellent talk on development of the
north half of the state. He ap-
preciated the need of the state
doing it's part toward draining
it's own lands and assisting in
developing and settling the
country. He believed that there
would be greater activity here
after in assisting the north
country, and he promised his
vigorous assistance in obtaining
a larger appropriation from the
legislature to that end.
At Northome, there was an
other exhibit of agricultural
products that provoked sur
prised remarks from the party,
and such was also the case at
Blackduck.
Professor Shaw again spoke,
as did also A. Nj. Cosgrove, presi-
dent OF the Minnesota State Fair
association, State Senator Gund-
erson of Alexandria, G. W. Mott,
immigration agent of the North
ern Pacific railway, George Il.
Ralph, state drainage engineer,
and J. 81. Beck, secretary of the
St. Paul Jobbers' and Manu-
facturers' association.
Mr.. Ralph, who is probably
better able to talk of drainage
than any other single individual
in the state, said that the PROPOSE
tion of draining the northern
part of the state was a compare
lively easy one; in fact, he was
of the opinion that there was no
locality IN the United States
where conditions were better for
the reclamation of wet lands than
right here. The agitation had
interested the national govern
ment and he believed that we
had entered the decade when
reclamation of lands would be
the battle cry. Reclamation of
the lands was all that was needed
to populate the country, and

The FIRST authentic information
relative to the manner in which
Henry Buenther, the Bemidji

Tower was given out here today,
when G. F. Schroeder of this
city returned from Tower, t,av-
ing been on trip inspecting the
country north Of Tower.
Mr.. Schroeder, with a party
of friends, had been down Indian
Sioux River, north of Big Trout
lake, "a trip which Buenther had
planned to take) and returned to
Tower yesterday afternoon,
when he first heard that Buen-
ther had met his death.

hotel, Buenther using an
assumed name, Henry Bounty"
They spent the night at Tower
and left Friday morning on their
intended trip. They went across
Vermillion lake on a steamer,
and portrayed three.fourths of a
mile to Big Trout lake.
The men had a portable canvas
boat, which they put in Big
Trout lake and started across.
Big Trout is filed with danger
GUS rocks, and it is supposed
that the boat struck one of these.
AT any rate, they had not gone
far, when the boat collapsed,
Precipitating the occupants into
the water.

breasting the waves and making
good progress, when Bnenther,
without an outcry of any kind,
sank from sight. johnson could
render him no assistance and
swan to the shore of the island.
Buenther was nowhere to be
seen. The water was bitterly
cold, and realizing that he would
perish if he remained on the
island, johnson, with commend
able pluck, again jumped into the
lake and swan to the mainland.
He walked around the arms of
Big Trout lake to the outlet of
Bear creek, distance of twenty
miles, where he boarded the
steamer and wentto Tower, from
which place he telegraphed to
Bemidji the brief announcement
that Buenther was drowned.
A searching party was sent
out from Tower yesterday, bat
no news has been received from
there relative to the success of
the expeditio. in fnGing Buen-
theirs body.
Mr.. Schroeder states that
Big Trout lake, besides being
filed with rocks, is very deep at
the point where Buenther sank,
being perhaps 200 feet to the bot
tom, and he believes that it will
be next to impossible to bring
it to the surface.

ANDY MILLER, BEMIlu
PAINTER, DIES IN DAKOTA
Word From Flaxton, n. D., Tells Of Is
Sudden Demise.---lived Here
Several Years.

Mayor Carter received letter
today from the mayorofFhxtnD,
N D., stating that Andy Millcr,
a painter, who claimed to have
lived d in Bemidji for four years,
had died there, and that if he had
any friends or relatives living in
Bemidji to write or wire as to
what disposition to make of the
remains.
Miller, who was about 80 years
of age, has lived in Bemidji most
Of the time during the past five
years. He came from Walker
ton, O.tario, where he has
father who is engaged in the
mercantile business and who is
an Influential and wealthy citizen
OF that place. He also has q sister
living in Illinois, and q brother,
the latter q veterinarian, who re-
sides at Spokane, Washington.
Miller was q painter by trade,
land he worked about this city for
different people. He came from
the same place as Wes Wright,
aud tie latter was sort of ad-
visor for him. He was known as
. s'good fellow" who was not of
vicious nature, and was well
liked by all who knew him.
Mr.. Wright has notified Mil.
ler's relatives of the latter's
death, and it is probable that
they will attend to caring for his
body.

C.G. Gunderson of Alexandria,

county, stated that he had seen
enough to convince him of the
possibilities of this country and
it's needs along the line of develop
ment. He would make no
promises as to drainage and
development, but the people up

J. n. Beck, secretary of the

what was the reason for the
jobbers wanting to make the trip
as being their desire to develop
this part of the state and make q
greater Minnesota, and he real
lied that the continued prosper
ity of the state depended on the
development of the north half of

is taking in the development of
this north country. He realized
that the crop of lumber would
soon be gone and the prosperity
of the country would of necessity

had not an acre of land to sell;
they wanted to see the country
settled and peopled by farmers.
The special train arrived in
Bemidjl at 5 o'clock and the
party was taken to the Markham
hotel, where supper was served.
After supper an informal meet
ing was held in the club rooms at
the Masonic block, where a dis
play of vegeta bles, wheat, oats

which included. a, squash that

half Of the state that has such
resources. He referred to the
mineral wealth Of the iron range,
also to the standing timber
owned by the state valued at
$3.50, 100000. He believed the
soil to be as rich as that of the
valley Of the Nile. There were
400, 900 square miles Of territory,
capable of supporting five or six
million people, where only 350,.
600 to 400, 900 lived. Heregretted
exceedingly the practice followed
by many hundreds Of people in
passing through Minnesota,
never looking at the land that
can be obtained here, and going
to Canada. He alluded to the re-
port of Mr.. Ralph. to the effect
that it would cost but $1.25 per
acre to drain the state lands that
would sell when drained for at
least $40 per acre, where now
they would not sell for So. He
gave some very pertinent re-
marks anent the wants and needs
of the people of the north half of
the state and was loudly ap.
plaudm.
Prof. Shaw was called and
spoke 0: about the same lines: as
at Blackduck, except that he had
noticed the soil about this city
contained much sand. We need
not lose sleep over thaat fact, as
intelligent tilling Of that class of
soil, which is mixed with clay,
will bring just as large crops,
with less labor. He advised the
growing of rye, alfalfa and
clover, and believed that winter
wheat could be successfully
raised here with great profit.
F. B. Wright of Minneapolis,
candidate for the legislature, was
the next speaker. He had been
greatly pleased with his trip,
especially with the pure air aris
ing from the pines. He had
never travelled here much, but
he had long since came to the
conclusion that there was no
poor: soilsiu Minnesotas as he had
seen the cut over sandy lands of

Errepssand was certain that this
part Of the state was equally
productive He wanted to see
drainage in all parts of the state
where needed. In the southern
part of the state the present law
would be adequate, but up here
1t was different; the state owned
! much of the land here, and
should drain it's own lands. He
would favor a large appropriation
for internal improvements and
drainage.
r. H. Jefferson of Bingham
Lake, a candidate for the legis-
lature, stated that he had lived
in the state fifty-five years and
had been a farmer all his life.
He favored the draining of state
lands, but not private lands.

and was favorable to drainage.
