WE'LL CONTINUE TO do BIZ"
Saws the Walker Pilot:

"Bemidji is exceedingly prolific
when it comes to newspapers. The
ENTERPRISE which saw the light OF
day through political glasses there
several years ago, and later wobbled
out of town for want of sustenance'
has been 'born again" and will once
more endeavor to get a hold on the
public patronage teat. A little race
suicide, as far as newspapers are
concerned, would be good thing
for Bemidji."
AS for the Pioneer, we are not
contemplating "suicide," neither are
we going out Of business because of
this move of some of our neighbors.
We shall continue to publish the
NEWSIEST newspaper in the north
central portion of the state; and the
new venture is welcome to what it
can get.

CALLS IN A SPECIALIST
Secretary Root Suffering From In
iured Knee.

Washington, Dec. I.-Secretary of
State Root, who has been suffering
from an injured knee for two months,
has at last called in a specialist to
make an examination and treat him.
Secretary Root came to the cabinet
meeting in his carriage and it was
with some difficulty that he left the
vehicle. He limped into the White
House, apparently with some pain.
He remained only short time at the
meeting, leaving long before it was
over to keep an engagement at his
home with the specialist, who came
from Philadelphia.
The secretary received his injury
during the late political campaign
when he was in Ohio making a
stumping tour for Judge Taft. It was
not considered serious at the time and
he hoped it would mend itself.

Singapore, Dec. 19-The burning
oil ship Kaloma was bombarded by
the harbor fort here and finally sank

The flaming steamer, which halls

from New York two days ago with her
cargo of case oil on fire. All attempts
to extinguish the blaze were unsuc-

scuttle the vessel. This failed also
and the danger to shipping became
serious. It was impossible to go near
the craft because of the possibility Of
explosions and finally the harbor

a HIGH PRICE PUZZLE.
Chicago Record Herald


A little while ago when California
cherries We're selling in this market for
30 cents per pound the producer in Call
forna was getting and cents for
them. When he hears of the selling
price he is in a frame of mind to he
grieyed. and the consumer Is grieved
also upon learning the facts. 1t would
be interesting TO have the history of O
carload lot of any kind OF food what
the producer received what went for
packing and handling, what Tor freight,
what for commissions and what for
profits to wholesaler and retailer. For
the prices of meat there is general
explanation in the scarcity of meat
animals But here Is a riddle. Orange
growers received much less for their
truit last winter than they did the win
ter before, while the consumer who pat
ronized the retail groceries in Chica-
20 paid about the Same price for his
oranges. The reduction to the producer
was explained by the October panic.
Evidently, however, this does not ex-
plain the steadiness in the selling price.
Such experiences make it clear why
there is such an effort on the part OF
producers 10 act through associations
as their own selling agents. But the
best explanations we have seen OF
them are only partial. They leave much
to be desired.
