MRS. ELIZABETH DORE
DIED LAST EVENING
Had Been Ill With Cancer OF the Ston1-
ach for Five Years
Aged n.

Mrs. Elizabeth Dore, mother
of Mrs. G. G.. Lyon, died last
evening, at $50 o'clock, at the
home of the latter.
Mrs. Dore has been i'll for some
time with cancer of the stomach,
and during the past five. months
has been confined to her bed.
Owing to her advanced age, she
being ~ years old, there was
but small hope entertained of
late that she could recover, so
that her demise was not unex.
pected.
Mrs. Dore came to this city to
live with her daughter about nine
months ago. She had been here
on several occasions prior to that
time and was we'll known to a
large number of people of this
city. She was very estimable
woman and one who retained the
high regard of all with whom she
became cquainted.
The body will be taken to Mil
bank, S. D., for burial.

journed from Feb. %.

arrested by Deputy Sheriff
George Keihm, on the same
charge, the warrant having been
issued by Harry Trask, justice

Chief FORESTER PINCHOT
ANSWERS HIS CRITICS
Gives Information as to Forest Re-
serves.-NeW Custodian for
Star Island.

Washington, March 7.-Just
what is intended to be done in
the administration of the ma
tional forests which include
II, 100000 acres recently added
to this domain, was set forth
yesterday by Clifford Pinchot,
chief forester.
The statement is in reality an
answer to many points of criti-
cism made in congress during
the debate regarding forest re.
serves indulged in during the
latter part of the session.
It supplements the presidents
statement of Monday regarding
his order creating the new re-
serves: ~
The statement follows: -
"National forests are created
with the main object of using all
their resources in the wisest
way. Everything is for use; the
timber, the range, the water, the
land.
"The miner is better off in a
national forest than on tho unro.
served public domain. The
mineral laws apply in precisely
the same way.
"All timber and wood in the
national forests is for use and
for prompt use. It is sold to the
small men and to the big men.
Everybody who needs timber to
establish his home gets it free of
charge when he asks for it. In
the sale of timber there is no
chance of monopoly, for the sec
retary Of agriculture can sell as
much or as little as he pleases, to
whomever he pleases and for
whatever price he deems fair for
the best interests of the people.
"The government gets a fair
return for it's imber, whereas
before, under the timber and
stone law, it practically gave it
away and in such a manner that
it was monopolized in vast tracts
by corporate interests. And
after it was cut off the land was
burned over and became non
productive waste.
"The range is used for the
grazing of live stock. On those
national forests created after
March 1, 1907, there will be no
interference with the grazing in
dustry.
1T is lntlmated that there will
be an important change made in
the Minnesota federal reserve
before long whereby consider
able portion of land now within
the forest reservation will be re-
turned to the general land office
to open for entry aud additional
lands taken south of Cass lake.
A new superintendent for the
Star island reserve at Cass lake
has been appointed in the person

RAILWAY OFFICIALS OF
PROMINENCE WE'RE HERE
A. N. Cleland, General Passenger Agent of the ~ P
D. Gemmel', General Manager, and W. H. Strachan,
Superintendent of the M. & l. in Town

Bemidjl was visited today by a
party of Northern Pacific and
Minnesota & international Off
cials who were here paying a
brief visit to the city for the
purpose of looking over some of
the business interests of this
place and forming a small idea
of the Importance of Bemldji
relative to the north country
from here to the International
boundary.
The party occupied a special
train on the NJ. & l., and was
composed of the following: A. M.
Cleland Of St. Paul, general
passenger agent of the Northern
Pacific railway: his secretary,
T.. G.. Lewis, also of st. Paul;
WIZ. Gemmell, of St. Paul, gen
eral manager of the M: & I. rail
way; and W. H. Strachan of
Brainerd, superintendent of the
M. & I.
The gentlemen were on their
return trip from a visit to Big
Falls, the present northern term.
mus OF the M. & l., where they
inspected that village and looked
over the M. & I. property at that
place, and heard reports of the,
progress being made on the work
of building the M. & I. extension
from Big Falls to International
Falls.
This was Mr.. Cleland's, first
trip north of Bemidji, and he was
greatly surprised at the unmis.
takeable evidences that presage
a future greatness.
Mr.. Cleland said; ssYou have a
fine country hereabouts, and I
have no doubt that you will. en-
Joy a boom of large proper tions,
just as soon as the railroad is
completed to- international Falls.
This road will give a direct line
from the twin cities to the inter-
national boundary, and the rail
way officials will put on sufficient
trains to handle all business just
as soon as they are needed.
II have been much impressed
with the go-ahead spirit which
pervades all the towns and cities
up here-a spirit that will always
win, under any conditions. I
have not been able to remain IN
your city as long a time as I de-
sired, but what I have seen con-
vinces me that you have one of
the very best little cities in the
state, peopled by class of citi-
zens who are hustlers of the
thirty. third degree. You have
everything here for great um-
mer resort, and if you cooperate
with the railroads in properly
advertising the fact, Bemidji
will become famous all over the
country, and not alone confined
to the state of Minnesota. We
have some improved train ser.
vice in view that will greatly ben.
neit Bemldji, but T. am not at
liberty at present to divulge the
details of the plans contemplat.

The International Falls Echo
says of the progress being made
in the construction of the M. & I.
extension near that city.
y. J. c. Davis, superintendent
of construction on this end of the
Rainy Lake road, was in town
yesterday. He is devoting his
time to the lower end of his divi-
sion and reports the work as
progressing very satisfactorily,
his force having increased con-
siderably of late. Rails and
dump cars have been toted to.
the scene of Mr.. Davis activity
and in conseq uence the work of
making the cuts and fills is being
done to good advantage. The
stretch of two and one half miles
of road where the change was:
made in the line is about cleared
and some Of it graded, and Mr..
Davis stated that by the time the.
two months have elapsed, when
the cuts this side of Ash lake
will be completed, he will have q
good many miles of road bed
ready for the rails. AS his divi,
sion comprises the last twenty.
three miles of the road, it looks
as though the first of June will
see the work train running to
about the Rat Root river. The
train has now reached Ash lake,
where piling is being driven for
the Ash river bridge, which
work is expected to be done and
the steel laid to the rock cut
three miles this side inside Of
two weeks. Gus Gulbranson,
practical railroad builder, has
succeeded A. W. Snow as. super.
intendent of construction. on the
lower end. The change seems.
to indicate that the work is now.
to be pushed harder than ever
before. 1

made on the extension of the M.

stated that at least seventy-fve
per cent of the grading was COM
pleted between Big Falls and
Littlefork. The work of laying
the iron on the bridge which
spans the river at Big Falls was
commenced yesterday and the
bridge will be rapidly completed,
with the track all laid and trains
passing over it within q week or
ten days. Mr.. Gemmell is highly
satisfied with the outlook for
business for his road, but like
most of the railway. officials, Is
hoping that the legislature will
not enact such laws that it will
be next to impossible to properly
equip and operate the kind of a
line that he desires to see.
Mr.. Strachan, as is usual with
him, had very little to say, ex-
cept to reiterate what Mr.. Gem
nell had given out. He is the
"do it, man of the system, and
rather a man of action than
words, and withal, is one of the
most competent railroad officials
in the entire northwest.
The special train containing
the gentlemen left Bemidji for

noon.

FAVOR MILITIA CUT
FOUR BATTALIONS ENOUGH
SENATOR SAYS.
National Guard 0vergrown and Costing
Too Much, Is Opinion of Some
Legislators.

TRENTON, Nov. 27.-Among the
economies that were discussed for prac-
tise in the lex administration during
the visit of members of the Senate and
Assembly here yesterday was a reduc-
ton In the size of the State National
Guard. A Senator, who didn't want his
name used. declared fatty in favor of a
bill to cut the militia organization down
to not more than 1900 men. to be divi-
ded into about four or five battalions.
A bill win probably be introduced
early in the next session of the Legis-
lature for the retirement of all officers
of the militia at 62 years of age. There
has been talk of such a measure for
some time. Several Assemblymen ex-
pressed themselves as in favor of it.
1.-THE National Guard Is overgrown
and is costing too much money" said
the Senator who advocates a reduction
in the size of the organization. What
we want is a comparatively small,
efficient body of men who would make
a good nucleus for building a larger
body, if needed, and would be ample
for all needs in event of any sort of
trouble In the State"
