There was a record broken in
the Postofiice Department last
week. The Postmaster General
turned in to the Treasury
S22.3so.I7o. the largest amount
for one quarter in the history of
the Office. This was not so re-
markable. for the Department is
growing all the time and the
receipts naturally increase. But
the amount exceeded the expend-
itures by sI.Soo.8I5. This is a
record sure enough. As a hnan-
cial index to the prosperity of the
country it is decidedly encour-
aging.
Now that the postoffice is
making an effort to get on even a
better business footing. more
carefully weighing the mails and
adjusting railway payments to
correspond. there seems a
a prospect of its becoming actu-
ally a self supporting department.
This will be cheerful enough news
to the general public. but it has a
rather ominous ring for the
express companies. telegraph and
telephone companies and others
of the great public utilities now
run at immense profit by private
corporations and whose constant
claim has been in the past that
the government could never do
such work as they are doing
cheaply and at profit.
Postal service is about the
cheapest great service the public
enjoys. and no one can say that it
is not about the best also. 1t is
nevertheless inferior to the postal
services of England, Germany and
France, for it permits a lot of
rapacious express companies to
skim the cream of the service and
skin the people of the United
States.

FISHING ON LAKE BEMIDU
is VERY GOOD THESE DAYS
Some Very Good Strings Being Brought in by Summer
VisitorsPike Numerous in the Lake; Crappies and
Rock Bass Also Abundant

Fishing on Lake Bemidji and the
smaller lakes tributary to the big
lake, and also in the Mississippi
river, both up stream from Lake
Irving and down from the east exit
of the Father of Waters," was never
better than at the present time.
Pike fishing (Which is always best
either in the early morning or late
in the evening, just before dusk)
has been exceptionally good. Many
fine strings of pike have been
brought in from the big lake, also
Plantagnet and Marquette lakes.
One of the very best pike grounds
on the lake is opposite Diamond
Point" about halfway across to the
railroad bridge over the outlet of
the Mississippi. Many large pike
have been taken from this point.
Rock bass and crappie fishing
is especially good at this time.

NORTHERN MINNESOTA is
SOON COMING INTO IT'S OWN
Folder Recently Issued by the Donald Land & Lumber
Company Creating Wide Interest in Cut.Oyer Lands
Of Beltram and Clearwater Counties.
III i ~ i q

The Duluth News-Tribune, of
Thursday, contained the following
able editorial concerning northern
Minnesota lands, the article being
inspired by the elegant folder re-
Gently issued by the Donald Land &
Lumber company:
Those misguided enthusiasts who
would reforestrate Northern Mime
sofa will need to hurry or face
eternal failure. 1t is impossible to
graft the pine tree on the COW, and
equally difficult to cross the pine
cone and the potato vine, and within
the next decade practically all the
cut-over pine land on this former
pine belt will be devoted to the
culture of the two families of the
bovine and the tuber.
If there are still doubling Thomas
es, they should send for a folder
recently issued by Bemidji company
advertising cut-over lands in Bel
trami and Clearwater counties. Ten
years ago these lands could have been
bought for a dollar an acre. Twenty
five years ago the owners probably
refused to pay the few beggarly
pennies of taxes assessed against
them, considering them absolutely
valueless. =
The records will show that in all
the stretch of country from Duluth
to the Red River valley, it was the
habit of the lumbermen to strip the
lands of their timber and then let
them 60 to tax sale. Today thou.
sands of acres of these lands are the
homes of thrifty farmers. Before this.
century is quarter spent, and that is
in a fourth the time it takes to ma
ture pine tree, they will be worth
more for agriculture than they ever
were for timber.

WHY DO MINNESOTANS
Leave HOME FOR CANADA
Princeton Union Deplores Practice and
Sees No Sane Reason for Such
Actions.

The Princeton Union contains the
following concerning Canadian lands
and canadian fever"
Why do some farmers sell their
lands in productive Minnesota
leave their pretty homes among the
trees, the hills and streams and
settle upon the barren plains of
Canada?' asks a contemporary.
Farmers who move from Minnesota
into Canada are usually induced to
take that step by the glowing
advertisements write-ups-i the
American press paid for by Canadian
land sharks. These write-ups in
variably misrepresent conditions in
the Canadian northwest and the
farmer, without due investigation,
embraces the alleged inducements"
therein offered. A large percentage
of the farmers, however,. sooner or
later return to Minnesota, but there
are many among them who have not
the money to do so. Farmers con-
templating selling their lands in
Minnesota, where total failure of
crope is unknown, should think
twice, and then three or four times
more, before carrying into effect such
contemplation, They can never,
after living for years among the
trees, the hills, the dales and streams
of Minnesota, content themselves
upon trackless plain where a tree
is curiosity"

Later Account.

Cass Lake, July II, Noon
Especial to Pioneer 1.-The opening
Of the lands here today was a very
successful affair, the applications of
those desiring to file on the lands
being handled in very expeditions
manner.
There were 100 in the line and
the best of order prevailed. Owing
to the unavoidable absence of E. S.
Oakley, register of the land office,
Receiver M. n. koll handled the
work alone. and he made an admir-
able record for quick work.
Ninety applications we're made,
and seventy will undoubtedly hold
good, it being estimated that at least
twenty of the number will conflict
with either the state swamp land
grant or are stone and timber entries
on lands that are already in dispute
by squatters who have been living on
the land. .I..- ~.
Mr.. Kohl handled the applica-
tions at the rate of one and one.
half minutes each, and there was
the best system. 49,:
The squatters who came from
Northome, Big Falls and Margie,
and who have been living on some
of the lands that were advertised
for filing, drew plat of the territory
in controversy and showed those
in the line just where they lived and
what they had done, with the re-
suit that number of the linemen
either sold out their position, in the
line or became afflicted with cold
feet" and quit altogether. There is
no doubt but that if there is con.
test the settlers will win out.
