Professor Richie, superintendent
of the Bemidji city schools, was the
next speaker.
Mr.. Richie maintained that Be-
midi should have the proposed
normal school, because of its geo.
graphical location, whereby it was
more easily reached than any other
town desiring the school.
Notwithstanding to Prof. Richie,
afforded splendid facilities for a
model school, which is the princi-
pal adjunct to a normal school.
At Cass Lake, said the speaker,
there is a big forest reserve, which
retards the development of the
place, and when the mills are gone
and there is nothing to keep up the
town, the state legislature would
be asked to 60 down to Washington
and lobby in the interest of break
ing up the reserve, so that proper
support could be given the normal,
should it be located at Cass Lake.
Mr.. Richie spoke of the overflow
ing of the shores of Cass Lake as a
result of the shutting off of water
from the Winnibigoshish govern
ment dam, and when the water
again receded the stencil from the
offal washed up by the overflow was
indeed very bad.
East of Cass Lake there was only
Deer River, Cohasset and Grand
Rapids, who would be tributary to
that place. If the school was located
at Cass Lake, people living along
the line of the M. & I. would be
compelled to 20 to Walker or come
to Bemidji in order to reach Cass
Lake. But few people in the terri.
tory of 100000 wanted the school
located at Cass Lake.
"Who are the people looking
for the location of the school at
Cass Lake? Not ten per cent of
the people. The people north OF
Cass Lake and northwest of there
have to come to Bemidji in order
to get to Cass Lake. Eleven
twelfths of the people south have
to goto Walker or Bemidji to get
to Cass Lake.
"Acting as Jurors, we would
have you give your earnest con-
sideration and go over thoroughly
the situation. If you can con-
scientiouslv locate the school at
some of the other towns, do so.
But believe you should place the
school here, in Bemidji."
In conclusion, Mr.. Richie said:
Il would call your attention to
the fact that Cass Lake already

NORMAL COMMITTEE
GIVEN FINE RECEPTION
Continued from First Page

arguments which the different
towns had to put up; and when
mature judgment of the members
was given, the school would finally
be located at Bemidji.
Mr.. Stewart was very sorry that
the committee could not have found
it convenient to come in the summer
time and make thorough investiga-
ton. Bemidji would be willing to
put her fate into the hands of any
board or committee with the six
other towns, and all of them felt
that way except one.
At this point in the program, it
was announced that Mary D. Nc
Fadden. the bright representative of
the DuluthNews-Tribune, would sing
or she would have sang but for
the fact that the porter in the car
had mistaken Mary's music for a
Cass Lake map and had thrown it
out of the window. Miss McFad-
den was compelled to leave for Du.
luth, and after the writer had suggest
ed the song SO Long, Mary" the
paragrapher and talented correspon-
dent retired, amidst the plaudits of
the crowd.
A double quartette gave fine
selection, the members of the octette
being Misses Hanson, Wightman,
Alley and Haldeman, Messrs Cam
pen, Lucas, Jerfard and Thornton
Ike Black gave two humorous
stories that convulsed the crowd,
both being given, for the most part,
in the Scandinavian dialect. AS a
"Swede'' of American proclivities
Mr.. Black has few equals in the
state, and he was very generously
applauded.
Mr.. Mcdonald regretted that the
lateness of the hour precluded an
address on the agricultural posi-
bilities of this section of the state.
However for many miles around,
with Bemidji as the center, there
were farmers on every farm, where
families were being raised and the
population increasing, making more
teachers necessary. We are not ask
ing for teachers in the towns along
the many lines of railway tributary
to Bemidji, but for all northern Min
nesota. There would not be much
necessity for normal graduates in
the Indian reservation or forest
reserve at Cass Lake.

WIRELESS FROM THE FLEET
Battleships in Communication With
Atlantic Coast,

New York, Feb. IA wireless
message from the tender Yankton,
which is preceding the Atlantic battle
ship fleet now on its way to Hamp-
ton Roads after its cruise around the
world, was picked up by the wireless
station on Fire island.
According to the longitude and lati-
tude as given by the dispatch from
the Yankton the battleships are about
1880 miles west of Gibraltar, with
the Yankton 945 miles ahead. This
places the Yankton only $40 miles
east of Bermuda and the fleet a little
over 1000 miles from Hampton Roads.
The schedule as announced before
the departure of the vessels from Glib
rakar said that they would reach
Hampton Roads about Feb. % or 23,
but If their position as indicated by
the wireless is correct at the present
rate of speed they should arrive on
Feb. 10 or 20.

WOOD Pulp ON
The FREE LIST
Recommendation Of House
Investigators.
REPORT IS CONSIDERED.

Members Hold Meeting in Washington
to Discuss Various Matters to Be
covered-sad the Committee Fa.
vors a Considerable Reduction in
the Duty Now Imposed on Cheap
Print Paper.
Washington, Feb. l3.-With the ap-
proach of the special session of con-
gress for the consideration of re-
vised tariff activities in regard to the
investigation of wood pulp and print
paper are being renewed. The select
committee on pulp and paper investi-
cation met to discuss the various mat
tiers which will enter into their report
to the house.
It is understood the committee will
recommend considerable reduction
in the duty on cheap print paper and
probably the removal of the tariff on
ground wood, under such conditions
as would secure the free importation
of both pulp wood and ground wood
pulp from Canada. It is also the de-
sire of the committee to forbid any
export tax or other charge by Canada
upon either pulp wood ground or print
paper. HI.
The tariff on sulphite, or soda fiber,
will not be changed, it is understood.
AS the ways and means committee,
which is preparing the new tariff bill,
has gathered considerable evidence
and information and as the RESPONSE
bility for the revision of the present
schedules will rest with that commit
tee that part of the report of the pulp
and print paper committee which re-
fers to the tariff will probably be re-
ferred to the tariff trainers in suffi-
cient time to be embodied in the new
bill
This information was given out in
an official statement by Representa-
tive Mann, chairman of the special
committee, and is understood to rep
resent the unanimous opinion of the
Republican and Democratic members
of the committee.

The kings GOODNESS and courage in
the heroic struggle won the admira,
tion of ALL for at no time did he
seem to fear the result. Now that he
is dead, it is believed that he was
able to survive so long by the sheer
force of his mentality.
When Goffinet emerged from the
high walls of the royal gardens his
pale face startled the newspaper cor
respondents outside. He paused for
moment and said solemnly, THE
king is dead"
The kings death it was announced
by DR.. DePage, was due to embolism,
small blood clot probably being car
ried to the heart.
Baron Goffinet said death occurred
exactly at 2:47 o'clock.
Yesterday the king was in capital
humor. He talked with Baron Goffi-
net about going, a few weeks later to
the Rivera and, although his old
troubles of oedema of the foot had
reappeared in aggravated form he was
hopeful as also were the doctors. The
latter were anxious, however, because
of the weak condition of the kings
heart.

Madison. Wis, Dec. 17.-"If Pres
ident Taft expects to put forward the
Roosevelt policies he will do well to
go about it promptly and not leave
congress and the people to infer, as
well they may. after the experience of
the last seXtra session that he is
waiting for the appearance of the
Aldrich and Cannon program" Thus
Senator La Toilette closes an edi-
torial in his weekly magazine today
sharply criticising President Taft and
his recent message to congress. La
Toilette sarcastically indicates it is
his belief that the president is draw
ing away from the policies of his pre-
decessor. He calls attention to the
brevity of the message to the special
session, saying; Everywhere
thoughtful men were anticipating
great state papers"
Regarding this last message to
come from the White House. La Fol

where he should have spoken strong

are anxious to see a definite official
form of Taft's wishes regarding leg

furry struck New York last night,
which. boiled down, resolved itself in
to a series of charges and counter
charges such as have been frequent
since DR., Frederick A. Cook, now in

had discovered the north pole.
b. S Osbon, secretary of the Arctic
club, came out first with statement
indicating that Captain August w.
Loose was prepared to repudate a
recent affidavit published in New
York newspaper that he had faxed
records for DR.. Cook.
After n hurried search Loose was
found with his associate, George Dun
kle. He denied that he intended to
retract anything, stood by his affi-
daVit and said on the other hand that
attempts had been made to bribe
him into d contradiction Of his pre-
y,ous declarations. Dunkle confirm
ed him in this.
Captain Osbon of this city, seore-
tary of the Arctic club, has written

that Captain August w. Looses ,,nry
