mite enough to transform this coun-
try, in five years, from a wilder
ness of stumps ind slashings into
one of the richest farming and
dairy countries on earth.
The great bugaboo of a hard
wood timber country has always
been the cry, 1t costs too much to
get out the stumps' A stand all
along the line in northern Minnesota
for dynamite at cost to the Settlers
would solve the problem, and a
movement of this kind should occupy
in state politics place as import
ant as that of drainage.
This action would be the great
est advertisement to bring results in
the shape of settlers we could have
published. 1t would please the
farmer close on the heels of the lum-
herman, and this country would
never experience the expensive lapse
of time, both to the business man and
the settler, that exists between the
going of the lumberman and the CON-
ing of the settler that has been the
result in other numbering countries,
while the land becomes overgrown
to brush and weeds, which increases
the cost of clearing ten per cent,
per year.
In closing, I would like to hear
through the press the sentiment of
others who are interested in the
development of our agricultural
resources by the adoption of
cheaper dynamite I have lived
in northern Minnesota for thirty
years, and I have greater enthusiasm
concerning this section and more
faith in it from an agricultural point
of view as the years roll by; and I
am backing my faith with perman-
ent improvements.

That there is an overwhelming
necessity for sixth grade normal
school is becoming more evident
every day; and if there was anything
that was necessary to indicate that
more room (another SCHOOL, was
absolutely necessary, it has been
brought out by the subjoined re-
port of Hon. Ell Torrance of Mime
apols, who is president of the State
Normal Board, which report has
been filed with the governor.
A special telegram to the Duluth
News Tribune from St. Paul says of
the report:
St. Paul, Mimi, Dec. 8.-Hon.
Ell Torrance, of Minneapolis, as
president of the normal school
board, has filed the report of the
board in the office of the governor.
The report makes a plea for addi-
tional dormitory accommodations,
especially at Moorhead and Duluth.
The report says on this subject:
AT Duluth there is small
dormitory complete in equipment,
but sufficient for less than SO
students, and at both Moorhead and
Duluth the conditions are such as
to make more ample dormitory &C
commodations imperative.
The feeling is becoming strong
er that influences surrounding the
students at these Dormitories, the
means of culture provided in them,
the safety and protection of
the students, the school life
and school spirit which they foster
are no small part of the educational
facilities furnished at these institu-
tons.

EX-GOVERNOR JOHN LIND

Ex-Governor John Lind, who is

REPORT SHOWS
GREAT INCREASE
MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES
IN IDAHO HAVE MADE RAPID
ADVANCE IN PAST YEAR, &C.
CORDING TO REPORT.

The report on the manufacture
ing Industries of northern Idaho
will show material Increase over
the report of two years ago." said
State immigration Commissions
Col. Allen Miller. who reached the
city last night from a six weeks
tour through the northern counties.
"The report will show a material
increase in the number of manufac-
turing plants. the number of people
employed and the value Of the out
put. During the past two years
four large sawmills have been In.
stalled in northern Idaho. and while
the demand for lumber is not heavy
at this time, the plants are being
operated and the product stored for
the demand that lie expected to be
revived this summer.
"The bringing into the country Of
the new Industries has resulted in a
material increase in the popula-
tion." continued Mr.. Miller. "For
instance. the city of Occur d'Alene
has doubled its population in the
last two years. Standpoint has in
creased at least one-third, and the
new town of Spirit Lake. with a
population of 1900 people has
sprung up from nothing"
Col. Miller Is now engaged in
gathering the manufacturing statis-
tics for the report to be made to the
legislature next January. He will
leave for Boise In the morning, but
will return to north Idaho in July
to complete the work in the upper
Clearwater and Salmon river Sec
lions.

successful invasion of Cupid has
carried away one Of the staunch

planned the bylaws Of the club and
secured quarters on Miller street
where they have since resided In
neaceful seclusion. Every feature OF

oath that Mr.. Dundas had completed

A GOOD SH OWING.

From the showing that is being made
on the water laterals, il is evident that it
will be but a short time until practically the
entire town will be within reach of fire pro-
lection and will enjoy the use Of Montpel-
ier's excellent water system.
This development is striking evidence
OF the value OF live energetic work
When the main pipes were laid the
city government was out of money. and
bonded to its limit, and it was the general
opinion that 1t would be several years be-
fore the laterals could oe laid A few of
the more energetic however were not sat
lshed to see this Important development
stop, and took up the work of extending the
laterals by private contribution in the way
of purchasing water stock. The money to
build the laterals Was raised i'm short
time, and it is only matter of few weeks
until the entire system will be ready for
use.
No development Of recent wears has
mas meant so much to the interests of
Montpelier as the completing of this excel
lent system of water works. and il will
stand as monument to the efforts of few
I'VE citizens who have fought the battle
through and secured its completion.

The game authorities are adding much
to the attractiveness of this country by
their diligent work in preserving and per-
petuating the fish and game. Bear Lake
valley is attractive in the summer time as
resort The pleasant climate, and GOOD
sport attracts people from many sections Of
the country.
The most diligent efforts OF the game
Wardens can avail nothing if the people dc
not stand behind them and uphold the law,
but with the careful cooperation of the
people and the close observances of the
regulations regarding fishing and hunting,
the residents and visitors of this valley may
ENJOY good sport indefinitely, without ma
terial decrease in the quantity of fish or
game.
The people pay the officer to protect
the fish and game. There is a portion OF
their annual taxes that is used in this work.
Ii Is most inconsistent position to pay a
man to protect the fish and game of the
country and then slyly undo the work he has
done by violating the laws.
