The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1908-11-28

From present indications, there
will soon be a thriving settlement
on Moose creek, on the north shores
of Upper Red Lake, composed OF
German Bohemian homesteaders who
will come to this country from
Illinois and other portions of the
middle west.
At the present time there are
several settlers who have already
filed on government lands, near this
creek, and many more are coming,
according to John R. Collar, a
German Bohemian who has settled
on Moose creek.
In speaking of the Moose creek
country, Mr.. Collar saos:
L have travelled over a consider
able portion of the United States
looking for a homestead, but found
nothing that suited me as we'll as
does my claim on Upper Red Lake.
1t was only few years ago that
there were plenty of public lands
which were easily obtainable. 1t is
different now; one cannot get claims
as easily as formerly; and I think
that in few years there will be no
more free homesteads left in this
country.
The country in the vicinity of
Moose creek and east of there is
bound to de velop rapidly, for sew
eral reasons. I recently had talk

Although weakened by the absence

the game, and Warren and Frank
Getchell were put in as substitutes
Markham had a disagreement with
the management of the team anc
refused to play in the game.
The lineup was as follows:
Big Bemidg'-Geil Captain anc
Heffron, forwards; Brown, center
Getchell and Warren, guards.
Deer River-Logee and Burgess
forwards; Seaman, center; Shreves
and Johnson, guards.
Roy Lindsey acted as referee, and
his work was uniformly fair and
impartial. Incho of Deer River
umpired, making a good official.
The Deer River team was deter
mined to make a better showing
than on the previous evening and
started out to play a very fast and
aggressive game. However, they
were more than matched, and within
two minutes after the game was
called, Hebron had shot the ball
into the basket for two points for
Bemidji.

the fela, and before the end Of the
half, Hebron threw another field has.

from free foul throws. Cell threw two
field baskets, and the half ended
with the score of II for Bemidji.

When the bridge is built good roads
will be built southwark 10 Kelliher,
thut enabling the settlers to have a
good outlet to the railroad.
! 1t is our intention to start a Ger
man-Bohemian town on Moose
creek, and no doubt this settlement
will grow rapidly. Most of the set
tiers will come here from Chicago
and other points in Illinois, Wlscon-
sin, Pennsylvania and Nebraska.
I have written some articles for a
German-Bohemian paper in Chicago
and described the Moose creek
country and I have received ESQ
letters requesting information con-
corning the land and its location.
Many settlers have already filed
on land in the Moose creek country,
and they will all be here next March
to take up their residence.
The first thing which we settlers
will do is to build a school house
and make a requisition for the estab-
lishment of a postofice at Moose
creek. Our nearest postofice is
Domaas, which is eight miles from
Moose creek. We buy our pro-
visions at Shotley, but we believe
that a general store will be started
on Moose creek in the near future, !"
Mr.. Collar came to this country
five years ago with his wife and two
small children, and has done we'll
here. His family are all in splendid
health, but while they were living in
Chicago, they were all sickly.
Mr.. Collar, like the other settlers
in the Upper Red Lake country, is
very DESTROYS that the country be
drained and in accordance with the
recommendations of the members of
the geological survey who traversed
the country in the vicinity of Upper
Red Lake and Lower Red Lake TAX
ing levels, and recommended the
draining of Upper Red Lake north
ward, through the medium Of a big
ditch and several lateral bitches.
There are many inquiries at the
Cass Lake land office concerning the
land in Beltrami county around
Upper Red Lake and, judging from
the manner in which filings are
being made, the country will be
rapidly settled with farmers and be-
come one of the best farming COM
munities in the state.

of the "a B C." contest which the

advertisements which will be print
ed under one head, with the prop
er announcement. The contest is
not for the advertisements which

be duly printed, as stated, and

THE TREE FROG.
lie Power Of Changing Color For Self
Protection.

lie Power Of Changing Color For Self
Protection.
The tree frog is found throughout
the eastern United States, ranging west
to Kansas and Texas and north into
Canada. It inhabits woods and or
chards and is found on trees, stone
walls, fences and houses. The eggs,
which are deposited early in May, are
attached singly or in small groups to
grass or dead stems at the surface Of
the water. Early In July the young
have passed through the tadpole stage
and leave the water They are green
at first but soon turn to gray or gray
and green. The tree frog Is largely
nocturnal In habits and feeds on in
sects. II Is notable for its many color
changes and varies from almost white
to green or dark brown or various COM
binations Of green aud gray.
While the tree frog is common
throughout the eastern United States,
its purring trill is far more familiar
than the frog itself, owing to its retir-
ing habits and powers Of resembling In
color the object on which Il rests.
The tree frog is thus one Of the best as
well as one Of the most familiar exam
pies of what is called protective colora-
ton. resemblance in color between
any animal and its surroundings that
renders It inconspicuous and enables it
to elude the eyes OF animals.
Miss Mary Dickerson In "rhe Frog
Book" says: "The color varies greatly
at different times and in different con-
ditions. In bright light and hgh Tenn
perature It may be yellowish white
with no markings. In a dark. moist
or cool place It may be deep stone gray
or brown. When the background OF
color is green his characteristic mark
ings may or may not appear. The
changes Of color are not rapid, an hour
at least seeming necessary to create
any radical difference. But It is usual
ly true that the given dress harmonizes
so perfectly with the surroundings that
the tree frog Is as invisible as though
he were Perseus in his charmed he'll
met"

who were to give testimony against Mrs.

His testimony OF his meeting Schaffner
relative to the Eisenman case was in cor
roboration Of Daniels testimony. Mitchell
said he also was paid s. for his promise
to give testimony which he said had been
outlined to him by schaffner. He did not
tell the lawyer interested that the state
ments about Mrs. Eisenman were false,
but did inform Attorney General Rich
ards later Of what schaffner had asked
him to do. Mitchell. like Daniels. swore
that he had never been in the Eisenman
