 It may be said on the best of author ity that within the next two days sev- eral distinguished democrats, some of these representatives of the conservative and the other of the radical faction of the part, will call on Judge Gray and urge himto make whatever sacrifice may be entaihd by acceptance of the nonina- tion for ice president. MT.

Of course no other declaration Is to be expected since he Is to be nominated as candidate for the presidency and perhaps for that reason the statement of his printed this morn- ing had lftte or no effect.

ally to the state drainage officials,

bitches.
The survey will practically solve
the drainage problem of northern
Beltrami county and people inter-
ested in this section of the country
are looking forward to the time
when these maps will be issued by
the government.
Mr.. Meade and his surveyor have
been at work since August, 1906,
the work being started in the big
bog north of Red Lake.
This bog" said Mr.. Meade, is
thirty-fve miles long and covers
several townships in width, and I
consider it a good proftoble plan
for the government to build a large
ditch through this country, so that
it may be opened for settlement.
The land is valuable and an expendi-
ture of 100000, or less than So
per acre, would, in a short time,
make it desirable and hasten throw
ing it open for settlement.

quick snappy action. Mrs. Locke,
as the girl, was continual delight
and fitted through the evening with
the humor of the skilled comedienne
and the lightness of the ingenue.
mr.. Locke made an admirable
gawk; he is an eccentric comedian,
full of quaint and amusing business
and his methods of making his
points are legitimate and original.
His dancing specially, which was
really a burlesque on the buck and
wing work, was much appreciated.
The remainder of the support
was effective and added to the in
terest and the fun of the evening.
Especial mention should be made of
Mrs. Locke's gown which was beau
tiful and striking, and brought forth
many words of compliment, from
both men and women in the audience.

Corporations. defining in his annual re-
port, issued today. the operations OF the
bureau, and the attitude OF the Govern

The report contains a strong recon-

supervision OF interstate corporations.
Whether the system take tho form Of a
Federal license plan. or simply a re-
quirement that interstate corporations
shall make reports and submit their
books 10 a Federal bureau, the commits

but Il IS important that there he some
system by which the Government may
deal with corporations administratively,
rather than by judicial procedure.
The report details the results of pros

ing the past year for offenses against
the Elktns law. There were thirty in
dictmeuts. including the famous STAN
