Biq Mills Close Down.

The big sawmill belonging to the
Crookston Lumber company, and
which is located on the southeast
shore of Lake Bemidji, was shut
down Tuesday for the season, the
ice having frozen so heavily that a
shutdown was imperative.
The past season has been a fairly
successful saving season. There
were but few accidents at the mill,
all of which were of a minor nature,
and no one was seriously injured.
During the summer season, about
harvest time, it was somewhat diff
cult to get men to stay at work at
the mill, but this condition was
speedily remedied, and both of the
local mills were fortura ate in having
splendid crews of men during the
entire season.
The Bemidji Lumber companv's
mill shut down several days ago.
after a very successful season.
This was the initial season for the

PRICE OF COTTON
TO Be ADVANCED
Object Of Big Convention at
New Orleans.

New Orleans, Nov. 12.-"Cotton
its price can go up; it's price should
go up; it's price must go up; it's price
will go up"
This is the slogan of between twelve
and fifteen hundred delegates to the
national convention of the Farmers
Educational and Cooperative union,
which was formally opened here in
the New Orleans coliseum. They rep.
resent 100000 cotton planters of
the South and this slogan has been
made the battle cry of the convention.
They are placarding it on the build
ings, putting it in their speeches,
recording it in their minutes and
shouting it through their convention
hall.
Cotton, and the determination of the
Southern planter to push up it's price,
will not be the only subjects discussed
at the convention, but they will be
the principal ones and they formed
the keynotes to the address of well
come delivered by Mayor Herman of
New Orleans and the response of Ma,
tional President G. S. Barrett of Nor
gan county, Ga.
The original plan to build a NAM
moth warehouse at New Orleans has
now broadened itself in the opinions
of the delegates until it appears that
majority of them favor large cen
trail warehouse here, with other ware
houses in Texas, Mississippi, Ala
bama, Georgia, Tennessee, Arkansas
and elsewhere.
The farmers, according to the plan,
are to store their cotton in these
warehouses, where it is to be held
until the market suits their fancy. In
the meantime there are to be issued
warehouse certificates for the amount
of cotton they have stored and the
certificates are to be negotiable at
the banks. Already New Orleans
bankers have given them assurances
that probably $50,000,0O0 could be ad-
vanced in this manner here.

TELLS REPUBLICAN PLANS
Chairman Payne Discusses Revision
of the Tariff.

VI tIV
Washington, Nov. 1.-THE commit
tee on ways and means of the house
OF representatives continued it's hear
ings on the schedule for chemicals,
oils and paints. These public hear
1ngs, which are for the purpose of
gathering information which will be
useful in the work of revising the
tariff, are part of the tariff plan pro-
posed by Chairman Payne on the
floor of the house last May. Mr.. Payne
then said:
1--WE propose to call the whole COM
mittee together Immediately after the
election and invite people to come in
here who have knowledge upon the
subject to impart such information
as they are able to give to the whole
committee, Republicans and Demo-
Gratis.
AFTER these hearings are closed we
propose to call together the majority
members of the committee, as was
done with the Wilson bill, and to eX-
cuse our Democratic friends from at
tendance upon the sessions of the
majority of the committee while we
are framing tariff bill When we
have framed it we will call them in
again and submit our work to them
and, finally, we will submit our work
to the congress. It will be revision
of the tariff; it will be protective
tariff; it will be maximum and min.
imum tariff, believe, putting us on
an equality with France, Germany
and Russia in that respect. That il

CONTAINS SEVERAL 4
NOVEL PROVISIONS
Bill for Universal Suffrage
In Hungary.

Budapest, Now l2.-.The bill pro-
viding for UNIVERSAL suffrage in Hun
gary was presented:to the chamber of
deputies by Count Andrassy, minister
Of the interior IT. contains many
novel provisions that are: designed, as
the preamble points out,s:to prevent
the political power from falling
wholly into the hands: Of illiterates or
those not in a position to use it in the
interests of the country, but to retain
it in the hands of the intelligent Sec
tions of the population" The bill
provides that every Hungarian over
twenty:-four years of age, who has re-
sided in any commune for the space
Of one year, is entitled to vote. 1llit-
crates, however. will be assembled in
groups Of ten and each group will
have the power to select a single
elector. AS a result of this system
these classes, characterized in the
preamble as particularly accessible
to the Indictment of agitators," will
have only one vote for every ten men.
AS further means of "preserving the
ascendancy. of the Intelligent classes"
the bill provides for system of plu-
raj voting, by which all electors over
thirty-two years of age who have full
filled their military, duty and who
have three children are given two
votes. Workmen who have spent
i've years at the, same trade, as we'll
as workmen who have graduated from
specified classes Eof the secondary
schools, also are given double vote.
Electors who have completed the full
course of the secondary schools or
who pay $40 in direct annual taxation
are. given the high privilege of voting
three times. e.. ~

WILL REFUSE INVITATIONS
Mitchell and Others to- Resent Snub
to Gompers.

to Gompers.
Denver, Nov. 12.-The News says:
President Roosevelt's snub to Com
pers will be resented by John Nit
chell, Daniel j. Keefe and James Dun
can as soon as they receive the pres
ident's invitations to attend his leg
islative dinner at the White House
next Tuesday.
These three members of the execu-
tive council Of the American Fedora
ton of Labor have decided that they
will refuse the invitations. The &C.
ton was taken after the slight put
upon President Gompers and other
officials of the federation had been
generally discussed by the delegates
to the convention.
The invited officials decided that if
President Roosevelt wanted to do
anything in the interest of labor it
must be done through the organiza-
ton (the American Federation of La
bor) recognized as the parent body of
all unions in the country.
