LUMBER COMBINE ASSURED.
Plan of Forest Conservation Is Approved b,
President Roosevelt.

Absolutely reliable and official
authority was obtained by The Re-
public here today May |, for the
statement that an agreement in
detail has been reached for the ad-
ministraton under Government
supervision of all the lumber re-
sources of the South from the At
lantic coast to Eastern Texas. An
agreement has been drawn up
whereby the lumber interests con-
trolling the immense properties in
volyed consent to the adoption of
the new system.
This agreement has been ap-
proved by the lumber men and is
satisfactory to the Government
officials. w. S. Cox, assistant for
ester, who represented the Forest
Service at the meetings of promin-
ent lumbermen at ST. Louis, has
reported to Washington that ma
terial progress toward the consum-
nation of the plan was made at St.
Louis.
Mr. Cox will be in Washington
tomorrow to make a compile re-
port on the results attained there.
The negotiations probably will
reach the stage of a closed con-
tract in few days.
The success or failure of the in
tended step. the officials here
recognize. depends entirely upon
its popular reception. This, in
brief, is the plan:
To limit production in the South
ern field to ten billion feet, which is
about the present cut; to impose a
tax upon this cut of so cents per
1000 which would give a fund of
$5,5oO.OOO a year to defray the
cost of administerir the privately
owned forests in the same way
that the government forest reserv-
es are administered. The money
S would maintain a staff of forest
rangers and inspectors, who would
patrol the forests, fight forest fires
and see that cutting is done with
provision for reforestation.
1t is freely admitted by the offic-
ials here that general agreement
of the controlling lumber interests
thus to limit production may be
viewed as a trust, and attacked and
the scheme perhaps killed for this
reason. Chief Forester Pinchot,
however, backed enthusiastically
by President Roosevelt, believes
that such combination would be a
good trust" and one to be en-
couraged rather than assailed. It
is combination such as President
Roosevelt would have specifically
legaiized by amending the Sherman
antitrust law.-St. Louis Republic.

Gard Of Thanks.

Through the columns of this paper
we desire to return our warmest
thanks to the citizens of this COM
munity for kindness and sympathy
extended to us during the sick
ness of our son Kenneth. While
our home now has a vacant chair,
yet as we reflect upon the many
deeds of sympathy and love of the
citizens of our town, it gives silver
lining to the dark cloud left by
death.
From the children whose locks
are whitened by the frosts of many
winters came flowers and tokens of
love which were appreciated more
than we have words to express. We
can only add God bless the noble,
big-hearted citizens of this little
city"

Tigers" Won from LAMBS.

The first baseball game of the
season was fought out on one of the
local grounds Saturday afternoon
when the eighth grade Tigers" de-
feated the freshmen LAMBS" by the
score of 10 to IA.
Both sides declare that the game
was closely contested all the way
through, the excellent batting of
Pomeroy Reeves doing much to aid
the Lambs. AS Pomeroy is new
boy, this inclination to pound her
OUT adds greatly to his growing
popularity. The Tigers" claim that
Harry Ryan held down second base

formed the determination to win
another championship banner, and
the members of the running team
will at once commence the prelimi-
nary work of getting into condition
for the contests in July.
The Bemidji fire department has
an enviable reputation as having
among it's members one of the fast
est running teams in the entire west.
The team is composed wholly of
local fremen, and their ability is
recognized throughout the north
half of the state.
Prior to the split in the old tourna-
ment association, when the races
were contested by the best depart
ments all over northern Minnesota,
the Bemidji department won the
championship banner three times in
succession, retaining permanently
one banner, and surrendering
another, because the department did
not participate in races that year.

new SOLDIERS WILL BE
MADE. TOMORROW NIGHT
The Bemidji Militia Company Will Be
Mustered in by Lieutenant
Colonel Roesch.

Bemidji's new company of militia
will be mustered into the service of
the Minnesota National Guard to-
morrow evening, at the city opera
house, at 9 o'clock.
Lieutenant-C Colonel Roesh of Du-
luth will be the officer in charge of
the mustering-in.
That there is much interest being
taken in the new company is evil
denced by the fact that many re-
cruits have been taken in during the
past few days. No less than eight
applicants were accepted yesterday.
The new company will start out
with a fine bunch of young men who
will undoubtedly make the company
a success from the start.
Among the number who are mem.
bers of the company are several who
have served in the regular army and
who have had much military expert
ence that will be of great benefit to
the other member of the company.
It is the intention of the men,
bers of the company to establish
library, and also, in conjunction with
the local fire department, to form a
flrst-class gymnasium. A. good start
has already been made on the
library, and the forming of the
gymnasium is but a matter of a few
days.
A. Otto of this city, who has been
one of the prime movers in securing
the new company, has taken up the
matter of securing reville, or sun
set" gun for use in the city. The
gun would be placed on the lake
shore and would be an ornament to
the city park. The cannon would
be of the very latest make, and
would be supplied by the u. S.
government. Mr.. Otto has received
encouraging letters concerning his
action and it is more than likely
that the gun will be secured.
All members of the company are
urgently requested to be at the hall
to be mustered in ats o'clock to-
morrow evening.

matter was brought before the
national authorities,it was deemed to
be eminently just that to every
school and chapel should be assigned
a small tract of land, and a part of
the expense of the schools (Which
was much less than it now costs to
operate the government schools)
should be paid from the Indian funds.
This condition continued for
about ten years, when the govern
ment took over the schools, at the
same time giving assurances that
when the Indian lands should be
allotted, each chapel should have a
tract of land assigned to it, to be
used as glebe by the mission
airy.
By some oversight this last agree
ment was never carried out. In one
case the land that had been occu-
pied by the church for thirty years
was sold to townsite company. In
at least one other instance, the
church land was allotted to an
Indian, who at once proceeded to
place mortgage upon it.
1t is in order that there may not
be any further occurrences of such
injustices that the bill has been
passed by the senator giving the
church title to lands that were long
ago assigned to it, and which were
actually occupied by churches, par
sonages, cemeteries, etc.
The action of congress is meeting
with the approval of all well-mean-
ing people.

Bill Meet With Favor.

From Washington comes the news
that, through the efforts of Senator
Clapp (who is member of the SEN
at7 committee on Indian affairs) a
bill has passed the senate whereby.
large amount of lands on Indian res
ervations which have been used by
the Episcopal church has been
granted to the church, to be used
for church purposes. The grant in
cludes some 1000 or 1900 acres of
land on the White Earth, Red Lake,
Cass Lake, Leech Lake and Winni-
bigoshish Indian reservations, which
have been for many years used
by the churches of the local diocese
of the Episcopal church for church
purposes.
The granting of these lands by
the government meets with the gen
eral approval of all residents of this
section.

Kaiser Has the ''CaII."

That the Ninth district congress
sional convention to be held at
Crookston Wednesday will be over
whelmingly for Taft for president
is a foregone conclusion. A careful
estimate of the situation places 13e
votes for Taft out of the 147 that
will be present at the convention;
and the two delegates that will be
elected at the Crookston conven.
ton will be Taft men.
Albert Kaiser of Bagley will un-
doubtedly be chosen as one of the
delegates. Concerning his candi-
dacy the Crookston Times says:
This district is entitled to two
delegates to the national convention
and they will be selected at the
district convention. At the present
time there are four announced can
didates, two from the north half and
two from the south half.
The candidate that seems to have
the strongest following at the pres.
ent time is A. Kaiser of Bagley. His
friends make the claim that already
he has practically IS votes,or eleven
more than necessary to elect him.
His candidacy has been carried on
entirely by his friends and from the
start it gave every indication of be-
ing a winner. He is we'll known
throughout the district, having been
an active republican for many years
and never has been seeker for office.
He has devoted his time and money
to the republican cause without ever
getting anything in return and the
republicans of the district feel that
he is entitled to the honor that his
friends are now seeking for him.

KENNETH M'VER LAID
TO REST AT GREENWOOD
Largely-Attended Funeral Was Held at
the Family Residence Sunday
Afternoon at 2::3O.

The funeral of Kenneth, the little
son of Mr.. and Mrs. K. McIver,
was held at the family residence yes
terday afternoon, and there was so
large an attendance of friends of the
family, that the house was filled, and
many were compelled to seek seats
on the outside. The crowd num-
bered those who were close friends
of the bereaved father and mother,
and also those of the young genera
ton who had known little Kenneth
in his life time and participated in
his joys and sorrows.
Rev. S. E. P. White, pastor of the
Bemidji Presbyterian church, con-
Quoted the services and spoke in
words of tenderest sympathy and
comfort, of deepest Christian hope
and promise.
The services were opened by a
choir, composed of Miss Hanson
and Miss Allie, Messrs. Fisk and
Brown, with Miss Shaw presiding at
the piano, and Rock of Ages" was
rendered with peculiar beauty and
sweetness.
Rev. White read several selec-
tons from the scriptures, indicative
of the Savior's love for the little
ones, and His command, Suffer
little children to come unto Me,
and forbid them not, for of such is
the kingdom of heaven" The
speaker referred in the most touch
ing terms to the great sorrow of
the bereaved father and mother, and
the brothers who had so tenderly
watched the development of the
baby into beautiful boy, of great
promise. Rev. White consoled them
with the strong words of the bible
that furnishes relief for all, and
assured them that time, that great
healer of all wounds, would eventu.
ally assauge the great sorrow that
was now so manifest, closing with
expressions of deepest sympathy Of
the entire community.
Just prior to the benediction and
departing of the friends from the
house the choir sang, with much
feeling, that sweetest of all songs,
Nearer My God to Thee" and
many eyes were dimmed with tears
as the closing words of the grand
song died away in the distance.
At the close of these solemn ser.
vices all were permitted to look fo1
the last time upon the face of the
departed;then the sad cortege moved
on to Greenwood, our silent city
where the little form was laid tc
rest, with appropriate brief service
