The Normal School committee of
the house, late Yesterday afternoon,
after a heated session, adjourned
without recommending or reporting
out any bill for a normal school for
northern Minnesota.
All the members of the committee
were present with the exception of
Jorgenson of Mankato, who was
unavoidably absent.
At the beginning of the session of
the committee, Prof. P. M. Larson
of Cass Lake spoke on behalf of Cass
Lake as the proper location for the
school and he claimed many ethereal
qualifications for the reservation
town." and, among other things,
asserted that Cass Lake had popu-
lation of 5000 souls, men, women
and children-not to mention few
dogs. He claimed an ideal site for
the location of the school and dis
played several pretty photographs,
many of which were taken on Star
Island, which is located at least
two miles from the proposed site, and
across strip of water at least mile
wide at the narrowest point.
Mr.. Larson bore heavily on the
committee that Cass Lake needed
the school and ought to have it.
At the conclusion of Larson's
remarks Prof. J. H. Hay of Thief
River Falls, on behalf of Bemidji,
Thief River Falls, Park Rapids and
Warren, presented arguments In
favor of the location of school al
some point in northern Minnesota
the location to be left to the mem
bers of the state normal schoo
board. ...~.
This last harmonious action OF
the part of Thief River, Bemidji
Park Rapids and Warren was sur
prise, and a big one, to McGarr,
and the other supporters of Cas-
Lake, who seemed to be determined
to have the school at Cass LAKE

institution, which will produce
instructors competent and capable
of teaching the many children of
the northern part of the state in an
efficient manner.
The committee, in executive ses'
sion, had some heated discussions
and McGarry got exceedingly
mad"
McGarry moved the reporting the
Cass Lake bill. This was amended
by Opsahl, who recommended the
reporting of the Kinds bill, which
locates the school at some point in
northern Minnesota, north of Brain
erd and west of the meridian line
running through Brainerd, between
Bena and Deer River, and to the
boundary line on the north.
Rosewood of Madison opposed
the reporting of any bill for a nor
NAL school Che being opposed to
appropriations in generaD and he
moved, as an amendent to Opsahl
amendent, that there be no normal
school established.
Rosenwold's amendent was over

motion to report the Hines bill also
failed to pass; McGarry insisted on
the adoption Of his motion for the
Cass Lake bill. A vote was taker
on McGarry's proposition and the
vote was tie, being six for and si2

BEMIDJI WILL PROBABLY
HAVE ANOTHER RAILROAD
1t Is Commonly Reported That the Duluth South Shore
& Atlantic Will Extend Their Line from Duluth
to Thief River Falls

Northern road has stimulated the
Canadian Pacific to carry out plans
which it has long had under way.
This plan includes the proposed ex-
extension Of the South Shore road to
connect with the 500 Line at Thief
River Falls. The South Shore, if it
wishes, can run its trains over the
Great Northern road between Duluth
and Deer River, but it is not ex-
#pected that it will take advantage
Of that right, but will build an indie.
pendent line the entire distance
from Duluth to Thief River Falls.
The right of the South Shore to run
trains over the Great Northern be-
tween Duluth and Deer River was
one of the considerations of the sale
Of the old Duluth & Winnipeg road,
by which name this division of the
Great Northern was once known, to
The Hill interests. This fact is an.
other sidelight on the fact that the
Canadian Pacific has long contknh-.
plated direct rail connection betweeh
the head of the lakes and the Mani

Origin of Name New Mexico.

The country now called Mexico was
not so called till 1910, when tne re-

pendence the country was called New

number of provinces as Spain, with
the prefix of new but New Mexico
was not included in this division. 1t

Francisco Ibarra was in charge of an
expedition of exploration into what is
now Northern Durango and Southern
Chihuahua and discovered an Indian
village near where Santa Barbara now
stands, in which the houses were
whitewashed and the people made and
