Peculiar Death.

Tenstrike Tribune: The latest
sensation is that there appears to
be mystery surrounding the death
of Ed. Dunlop at Big Falls about
two weeks ago, and the relatives of
the dead man are of the opinion
that there has been foul play. 1t
was reported here that Mr.. Dunlop
was found dead along the railroad
track near Big Falls, but later it de-
veloped that he was found dead in
one of the Big Falls resorts. It is
said that Dunlop and another man
had been drinking heavily and that
Dunlop's companion had a large
sum of money. It is also reported
that toward evening Dunlop fell
asleep in the saloon and later was
carried to a room where he remained
all of one night and day and in
the evening was found dead in bed.
Some say that his companion has
not been seen since. Dunlop was
hurriedly buried at Big Falls. He
IS brother-in-law to Pete Maule of
this village, and has also a sister in
Michigan who will demand an in
vestigation.

THERE'S MONEYFORSTATE
In DEAD AND DOWN TIMBER
Clearing Up the Timber in the asca State Park Is Prov
ing to Be Profitable Undertaking, According
to Commissioner Arnold

Park Rapids Enterprise: R. C.
Arnold, commissioner of Itasca
State Park, was in town Wednes-
day and reports that the work of
getting out the dead and down tim
Der in the park by contract, as it is
now being done, is proving a big
thing to the state. And when one
considers the manner in which this
work has been carried on hereto
fore, and the estimates placed on
the lands that are now being cleared
by the state, it appears that the
state has missed the big thing" in
the previous deals.
Section SO is being cleared of its
dead and down timber this winter.
This tract was previously estimated
so thousand feet by state scaler.
and the report turned in on Sections
IA and "a was that it was hardly
worth while to brother with the
tracts.
Mr.. Arnold looked the situation
over and advised the timber board
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1908-03-09

to have the timber cut by contract.
which has been done.
Mr.. Arnold reports that there is
now banked and scaled from these
tracts 100000 feet and that it has
been sold to the Bemidji Lumber Co.
at S11 per thousand. After paving
the cost of the logging the state will
net S5.25 per M. from the timber. or
a total of $4,10O: One half of this
amount will go into the state treasury
and the other half into the state
school fund.
Mr.. Arnold estimates that there
are about 100000 feet of dead and
down timber on section rs, about
100000 feet on section 22, and
about $4,000 on section 16, which
can be cleared up next winter, and
which will return to the state good
sum for the trouble.
ltasca State Park is a valuable
piece of state property, and will
return to the state many times the
sum that has been expended in it's
purchase and improvement.

Must Have Night Train.

Word comes from St. Paul that
the powers that be have made it
plain that there is to be no night
service over the M. & I. road until
such time as there is a greater
volume of passenger business than
at present. That statement simply
means that upon power develop
ment and the consequent growth of
our town depends the matter of a
night train. If work should start
upon the dam in the early spring,
as we confidently believe it will, that
fact, with the tourist travel, should
give us night service early in the
summer. "
The railroad company are figuring
their business just like the rest of us.
They believe in the future of our
town but until such time as there
is development and an increase in
the volume of business, they are
going to keep their expenses down
to the very lowest point possible,
consistent with reasonable service
and safety. We believe that the
M. & I. railway management will at
all times give us the best service
which the business demands and
will justify, as they have at all times
shown disposition to treat their
patrons in this reasonable manner
International Falls Echo.
There are more points along the
line of the M. & I. railway that
would be greatly accommodated by
the night train than International
Falls, and whether the dam is COM
pleted at that place this spring or
not, the train should be installed, at
least during the summer months,
when travel from the twin cities to
the various. summer resorts in this
north country would more than off
set the cost of the train.
1t has been intimated that the
train would be installed between the
First and Fifteenth of May-and we
see no reason to believe that it will
not be.

THOUSANDS OF INQUIRIES

Information as to Northern

Washington, March 9.Figure

Washington, March 9.-Figures
and reports received at the gen
eral land office thus early
show that there is going to be a
big movement for the remaining
public lands this spring. The local
land officials at Duluth and Cass
Lake have received between them
over 10000 letters of inquiry since
New Years. These inquiries come
from widely separated localities, in
Guiding the states of Pennsylvania,
New York, New Jersey, Ohio, In
diana, Illinois, Kansas and other
states as we'll as large number of
inquiries from people residing in the
Canadian northwest.
The unusually large number of
these inquiries which made reference
to the Minnesota state board of i'm
migration leads the officers of the
Duluth and Cass Lake land office to
believe that the literature sent out
by the immigration department is
responsible for the inquiries. Re-
peated calls have been made on
Commissioner Ballinger, who has
just retired from the general land
office, for circulars of information
relative to all available public lands.
but the department is powerless to
secure enough printed copies of the
old form of circulars of general in
formation. II is claimed 100000
a year would not supply the demand.

Mad Dog Killed.

A dog in the first stages of
rabies was dispatched by Chief of
Police Knox, this noon, at time
when a panic was narrowly averted
among the school children at the
high school building.
The dog was noticed rushing up
the street toward the north end of
town, with foam oozing from it's
mouth, and giving every indication
of being mad" The police were
at once notified and Chief Knox soon
appeared on the scene, with a rifle
in his hand. The dog was shot
before he could do any damage
although the animal had shown no
indication to bite anyone or any
thing, as most dogs afflicted with
rabies are in the habit of doing.

ATTORNEY GENERAL IS
AFTER OREGON RAILWAY
wants Congress to Authorize Him to
Institute Suits to Establish Fed
eraI Title.

The officials at Washington are
taking cognizance of the negligence
OF the Oregon & California railway.
relative to the land grant of the
latter, and desires to have congress
sional action thereon.
AS many people in this vicinity
are very much interested in what
will be doing" relative to the afore-
said land grant, we reproduce a tele-
gram from Washington (taken from
the Minneapolis Tribune) which
tells Of proposed action on the part
of the attorney general:
Washington, March ATTORNEY
General Bonaparte before the house
committee on public lands yesterday
urged favorable report on a Joint
senate resolution instructing the
attorney general to institute certain
suits to establish the title of the
United States to lands in the Pacific
coast states, granted to railroads in
the sixties under special conditions,
it is now claimed, have been violated
by the grantees.
Mr.. Bonaparte explained to the
committee that the resolution is
directed particularly toward the
Oregon and California railway COM
pany.
The attorney general seeks speci-
TIC power to institute suits to recover
title to such lands as were disposed
of or are still held by the railroads
in violation of the conditions of the
grants.
Representative Forney of Michi-
gan also addressed the committee.
He advocated amendment to the
resolution to provide that innocent
purchasers of these lands and OF rail
road bonds secured by them should
not be made to suffer through insti-
tuition of suits.
The hearing will be resumed

A letter from an Englishman

chester, Eng, copies of which have
just been received in St. Paul, is of
much significance in its relation to
the present active campaign of the
Minnesota Federation of CONNER
cial. Clubs, both to attract new farm
ers to Minnesota, and to keep in
Minnesota the farmers we have.
English people are not welcomed
bv the native Canadians. No green
English need apply is common
enough announcement to meet with, i"
says this writer, in letter to Eng
lish friends at home. The climate
of the Canadian northwest is terrible.
For six months Of the year one is
practically confined to the house by
rigorous weather and what this
means from the wage-earners stand
point should be we'll realized. Above
all is the deathly solitude of life on
the prairie. This is the lot of the
young wife of the Canadian farmer.

are spent in solitude and in an eter-
nal round of laborious farm work,
while the men folks are absent in

there are sufficient number of com
mercial organizations to warrant
the organization of state fedora
ton of commercial clubs, and are
giving considerable space to the
plans of organization and scope Of
the work of the new Minnesota or
ganization, which is the second in
the United States, and easily the
first in point of practical business
effectiveness.
A request has come from Omaha
for information about the Mime
sofa movement which will aid
Nebraska in forming an effective
federation.
Other states are likewise showing
much interest and a prominent Louis
vile manufacturer has asked for a
complete data in order that he may
make use of it in the work of COM
mercial organizations in his city,
particularly with reference to their
statewide work. The federation's
first object, to boost Minnesota, is
being thoroughly we'll realized in the
widespread advertising of the pro-
gressiveness of Minnesota business
men which is being obtained in this
way.
Six new commercial clubs have
been organized as a result of the
federation movement, and a con-
siderable number of existing clubs
have been reorganized and encour-
aged to more effective and energetic
practical work.
The Ada Commercial club has
done an effective bit of advertising
in having a map of Norman county,
showing roads, schools, churches,
drainage bitches, ETC., with a terse
and effective description of the soil,
climate and agricultural advantages
of the county, printed on every letter
head used by the county officials.
An immense amount of advertising,
at practically no expense, is thus
being secured"
