Bright Future for BeItrami.

Mr.. Moore is an enthusiast on the
matter of the value of northern
Minnesota lands, and says:
Il believe that there is nc
place in the entire country where
q man can place his money to
better advantage than in pur.
chasing land right here in Bel
trami county. I have been all
over most of the northwestern
states, ard I know of no place
where the outlook for the future,
along the lines Of agricultural
development, is more promising
than here The land is very low
in price, as com pared with older
settled communities, and there
are developments every day that
astonish the residents as to what
can be done with the soil here.
.sThe settler here has the op-
n .rgS a. 49,
portunity Of removing the tim Der
from his land and at the present
prices for cedar, tamarack and
spruce, realizes . tidy sum in
preparing the earth for the re.
lception of crops. And the ex-
periences Of the last two years
prove that, with proper tilling,
excellent grain and corn and
vegetables can be produced.
Northern Minnesota is all right;
develop the country and bring in
new settlers, and we will have
the most prosperous pt rtion Of
the state IN the not distant
future. !"

who was taken to Walker and
given q hearing on the charge Of

Several witnesses were in

Big Bird, and would have proven
that he was intoxicated, but the

senting the imputation that he
had partaken too freely of ardent

It is the belief Of some parties
who were at the hearing that his

that he will be given q trial. But,
at any rate, he will be kept from
