SCHMAHL HAS
GOOD DRAINAGE IDEAS
Believes in Growth of Northern Minnesota And Will Make
Practical Demonstration Of the Fertility Of Swamp
Lands....Has Farm Near Grand Rapids

Julius Schmahl, secretary of state,
is not quite correct in saying that
the only need of the north country
is settlers. 1t needs more effective
advertising and the drainage he
doesn't think necessary would also
help to sell state lands and get them
into the taxable class, so that the
money might be furnished for build
ing suitable roads.-Duluth News
Tribune.
Mr.. Schmahl has undoubtedly
been misunderstood as to what he
said of drainage and settling. The
writer was with Mr.. Schmahl when
he made his trip through parts of
Clearwater and Beltrami counties.
He was purposely shown some good
dry land, in order that he might see
what can be grown in this country,
when there is not too much water
covering the ground, but it was i'm

JAMES GODATTE BROUGHT
TO BEMIDJ| THIS MORNING
Will Be Confined in BeItrami County
Jail Until Time Of TriaI.-Expects
to Be Acquitted.

James Godatte was brought down
from Big Falls this morning, where
he was taken Wednesday to answer
to the charge of murder in the first
degree, for which crime he was in
dicted by the grand jury at the first
term of court for Koochiching
county, which convened Tuesday,
Godatte entered a plea of not
guilty, as stated in yesterdays paper,
after a demurrer filed by his attor-
neys, c. w. Scrutchin and J. F.
Gibbons of this city, had been over
ruled by Judge Spooner, who is pre-
siding. His trial was continued
until January, when it will be taken
up at an adjourned session.

SENATOR WORKS GIVES
FARMERS PRACTICAL HELP
Has Two Car Load of Sheep Which
He Will Let Out on Shares.-WiIl
Bring Lot More.

State Senator S. D. Works of
Mankato, who owns considerable
land in the northern part of Hub
bard county, and he is also inter-
ested in cut-over lands in Beltrami
county, has brought to this country
two car loads of sheep which he will
rent out to farmers on shares.
Senator Works has noted the re-
suits of experimenting with sheep,
in clearing cut-over lands of the
small brush and timber. 1t is a
we'll known fact that sheep clear the
land better than any other animals,
and Senator Works intends to assist
very materially in clearing the lands
belonging to the farmers in this part
of the state.
He will bring a lot more sheep
from the southern part of the state
to this country and will let them on
the same conditions as the two car
lots which he has just brought here.
The Senator is to be commended
for his efforts to assist in develop
ing northern Minnesota.

out any selfish ends, snch as the
federated commercial clubs would be.
the legislature could receive we'll
d4gested information, printed or
rather, with carefully drawn bills,
for its consideration. A Legislative
committee" representing the fedora
clubs, would have a powerful in
fuence at the capitol.
The proposed organization would
also be of infinite use as a mouth
piece of state sentiment, on topics
outside the domain of politics. 1t
could speak for the business inter-
ests of the state at all times. That
it would be a powerful factor for
both conservatism and progress goes
without saying."

Monday in November and the
problem must be solved by that
time. 1t seems the law and the
courts are agreed that in cases where
county has been divided and a
new county made from part of the
old, such as the creation of Koochi-
ching county from Itasca, the old
county is entitled to all the delln-
quent taxes that are collected even
in the territory of the new.
Thus it seems plain, though per-
haps strange, that all delinquent
taxes contracted in Koochichihg
county must 60 into the treasury of
Itasca county. But here is an ad-
ditional problem. The law says that
in the sale of lands for delinquent
taxes, in other words of tax titles,
at the time of the sale the tax for
the current year must be settled.
Thus it would seem that when the
delinquent tax sale takes place in
Koochiching county, there must be
some division of the amount received
between Koochiching and Itasca
counties. The tangle is up to George
T. Simpson,, assistant attorney gen
eral, into whose tender care it was
placed by State Auditor Samuel G.
Iverson.

possible on the short time allotted,
to show Mr.. SchmahI much of the
many acres of swamp land in this
country, as it was the secretary's
first visit here, and of course has not
seen any of the swamp lands of this
country. However, he is a member
of a party which have purchased
large tract of swamp land in Itasca
county, where he will have ample
opportunity to practically demon
strate his theories on drainage,
which are of very feasible charac-
ter.
Secretary Of State is all right. He
is acquainting himself thoroughly
with the things of this country and
can be relied upon as he gives very
practical assistance in development
this section, and in bringing settlers
to populate many of the lands now
uninhabited.
