TOO MANY STARVING NEWSPAPERS.

In commenting on the recent con-
solidation of the Bemidji Record
and the Bemidji Pioneer and the
suspension of the Bemidji News, the
Red Lake Falls Gazette says:
The Bemidji Pioneer has pur-
chased the other two papers of the
town and in the future the city of
Bemidji will have just one news
paper. The fact that a city the
size of Bemidji is to have only one
newspaper is evidence that the bust
ness men of that hustling place
have seen the light.
With two or three papers in a
town the advertisers have to pay
twice for their advertising service
or get an incomplete service. They
are sometimes deceived IN the belief
that they are getting bargain
because two papers sometimes
cause a rate war, but moments
thoughtful reflection shows that that
is a mistaken idea. The one paper
covers the same field that two or
more might cover, covers it better
because of less risk of financial loss
in the attempt to serve the town
we'll, and even though there is not a
rate war the advertiser is dollars
and service ahead. ....
Merchants all over the southern
part of the state where consolida-
tons and better papers and better
service have become the rule, will
vouch for the truthfulness of this
statement.
If the business men of Bemidji
will spend one-half of the money
that the advertising in the other two
papers cost them with the Pioneer
that paper, always an excellent one
can give them an improved service
and there will be money left ir
their pockets. The business men Of
the town as we'll as the publishers
of the Pioneer are to be congratu
lated"

With frowning and with fretting
We pass the somber whites,
While fainting hearts forgetting
The promise of the smiles:
In silence with our sorrow
We wall the world Is wrong.
When waiting fol-. tomorrow
There is marvel song.
For on the path
OF pain and wrath
Our spirits are made strong.
What though the lights grow DINNER
And we be robbed Of light?
The friendly stars will glimmer
Deep in the darkest night;
Though sorrow come and bind us
With fetter and with bond.
We know our joy shall find us
When our next day has dawned-
For with no death
There we're no breath
OF any day beyond.

cAUSTIc COMMENT.

OF SORROW AND OF PAIN.
If it were not for sorrow.
II it were not for pain,
Our dreamings of tomorrow.
We're utterly in vain;
The grief that fills the morning.
The signs that mark the noon,
Form but gentle warning
OF gladness coming soon
We're we not blind
In them we'll find
A spirit cleansing boon.
The losing and the leaving,
The sorrow and the pain.
The signing and the grieving
Are as the blessed rain
That coaxes a hereafter
OF grassy fields and bloom,
OF sunshine and of laughter
And Zephyr-tossed Perfume:
The sunny sky
Is fair and high
Above the clouds of gloom.

A PACIk G BULL.
Garrett County Produc: Will Go On
The TRACK.

Last fall Durham bull, four years
old, broken to harness and also the sad
die by son of Charles Savage, of Deer
Park, who had raised the animal from
calf, caught the eve of John H. Ross,
of Wavnesburg, Pa, dealer in trot-
ting horses and turfman of local repu-
tatiOn. Mr.. Ross happened to be at
Deer Park on business and seeing the
possibilities Of putting the animal on
tie track in competition for prizes
against horses, he purchased the ami
NAL and had it taken to his home where
he harnessed 1t to a sulky and drove
out on the race course. Here the bull
developed wonderful speed, pacing a
mile in 2.30 With this record made
Mr.. Ross issued challenge to all own
ers of horses of the 2. 80 class to enter
into competition against his bull and
the probabilities are that the Western
Pennsylvania race courses this fall will
witness many novel races between the
Garrett county bull and some of the
finest horses in Pennsylvania and West
Virginia.
The price received by young Savage
for his bull was considered a good one
until after the above record was made
by his new owner when the former
owner realized too late the mistake he
had made in parting with his property.

RAILROADS NOW IN HARMONY
Hill and Hartman to Be on Best of
Terms Hereafter.

The Portland situation has been "set-
tled,' is the significant remark made
by Louis w. Hill, president of the
Great Northern railroad, after his con-
ference with Edward H. Hartman at
San Francisco. "And," added Hill,
the Oregon people will understand
what that MEANS
The president of the Great Northern
went on to explain that all disturb
ances have been done away with and
that the terminal disputes have been
amcably settled. The significance of
his remark is undoubtedly the fact that
MI Hartman and the Hills have en-
tered into compact that is much akin
to the relationship existing between the
Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe in
California. 1t is believed that the
trouble that was engendered chiefly by
the building of the Spokane, Portland
u Seattle road has been explained away
and that hereafter the two companies
will work with a friendly spirit in the
northwest, and possibly have joined is
sues even to more considerable extent.
Portland and Oregon will get q
juicy plum,' was the remark dropped
in an aside by one of the under officials
who were lowering about the big mag
mates at the game. Just what he meant
he did not explain, but Mr.. Hill de-
clared that thousands of dollars would
be spent in Oregon. 1t is limited that
the terminal facilities will be largely
improved.
"There has been no real fight be.
tween the Hill and Hartman forces
within the last nine years. said
Louis w. Hill.
Mr.. Hartman was not specific, but
admitted that the difficulties between
himself and his northern rival were as
good as settled. Today was sort of
millennial dawn in the railroad world
and unless all signs fail the expressions
Hill s road' and Chairman systemn
will in the future have little meaning.
The big fish seem to have swallowed
all of the little ones and both the eater
and the eaten are satisfied.
"Why, my father went over the two
lines in 19OO," said Mr.. Hill, charging
upon the brotherly spirit which he had
already spoken Of. The talks of scraps
between them since has been mostly
among outsiders and people who did not
know.'
Mr.. Hill nodded assent when the fact
was mentioned that the war since the
construction of the Spokane, Portland &
Seattle railroad into Portland, piece
of work which aroused the geratest in
dignation among the Hartman people
at that time, had been unaccompanied
by any overt act.
