blush, but is proud, in presenting
her local claims for sucn an insti-
tuition as state normal school.
We already have a population of
5000 bright, energetic, progress
sive citizens. Our beautiful
lakes and rivers are unsurpassed
in picturesque beauty. We are
sheltered from the blizzards of
the bleak prairies of Moorhead
and the cold, chilly breezes OF
Duluth, by primeval forest re.
presenting nearly all the woody
growths found in Minnesota.
We have a climate for health and
vigor, that is unsurpassed by
any locality in the state. Bemid j
has long been known as a health
resort.
These are a few of our claims
why Bemidji should be selected
for the sight should such an in.
stitution be established.
That there is room for another
state normal school in Minnesota
there can be no doubt; and why
should not northern Minnesota
pupils have as good a right to
demand trained teachers as the
southern part of the state.
According to State Superin.

ALSO SEEKS TO REVOKE CHARTERS.
SUBSIDIARY CONCERNS oReAN-
lied BY RAILWAYS CON-
TRARY TO LAW.

st. Louis, Jan. 10--Suits to dissolve
the alleged merger of the Wabash,
Missouri Pacific and Iron Mountain
Railway companies and the Pacific Elk
press company and to revoke the IL
censes and charters of the Pacific Ex-
press company, American Refrigerator
Transit company, Western Coal and
Mining company, Rich Hill Coal Min.
ing company and Kansas Missouri Ele-
vator company have been filed in the
supreme court by Attorney General
Hadley.
The petition alleges the stocks of
the companies named are owned by
the same interests, the Goulds, in vio-
lat1on of the provisions of the constitu-
tion and laws of Missouri. Concern
ing the nature Of the suits Attorney
General Hadley said:
These suits are brought for the
purpose of forcing discontinuance Of
the ownership of the stock of the Wa
bash, Missouri Pacific and Iron Noun
tain companies and the control Of
these three companies, two Of which
are paralleling and competing lines,
by the same interests and to force a
discontinuance Of the ownership Of the
stock by these companies in the Pa
cific Express company, American Re-
frigerator-T Transit company, Rich Hill
Coal Mining company, Western Coal
and Mining company and the Kansas
Missouri Elevator company. BY this
stock ownership these roads have, in
fact, been engaging In business not
authorized by their charters and pro-
hibited by the constitution and laws
of the state. The forfeiture of the
charters of the coal mining companies
and of the Kansas-Missouri Elevator
company is prayed for, the license OF
the Pacific Express company and the
American Refrigerator Transit COM
pany to do business in the state is
asked, but the forfeiture Of the char
ters of the railroad companies Is asked
for only in case they should fail to
discontinue, within definite time,
these usurpations, should the courts so
order. Illegal practices exist to a
greater or less extent in the case Of a
number of other Missouri roads and
other suits will be begun as soon as
the work in my Office will permit"

teach school in Minnesota, and
the most of them in the north
half of the state. It is hard to
find a normal graduate in the
rural schools: where they are
needed most.
Such an institution would be q
credit to our city. It would
help to make us an educational
center and would bring a desir-
able class of citizens to our city.
Students would come here and
live among us and thus help to
build up our business enter
prises. It would give our city a
wholesome advertisement that
no other state institution could
give. Every citizen Of Bemidji,
and every resident in this entire
section of the state, would be
benefited by the location of q
normal school here, and all
should lend their aid in securing
it. A. p. RITCH1E.
