CAUSTIC COMMENT.
la. G.. Rutledge.l

The man who edits the average
newspaper in this section cannot
avoid treading on somebody's toes
continually; must expect to be
censured often for unintentioal fail
ures; must expect hard work and
little thanks; must expect to be
called a coward because he does
not pitch into" everything that
somebody thinks is wrong, and a
fool if he speaks out too plainly on
public evils; he must expect to be
called upon to grind other peoples
axes-and turn the grindstone
himself. Still, we think it is one of
the best professions on earth; the
one in which the earnest man can dc
the most good to his fellow man,
and in which an honorable man can
WELD much power for good.

REGULAR SOLDIERS
now ON The Scene
Troops From Winnipeg Arrive
at Fort william

Fort William, Ont, Aug. 14.-The
presence Of armed militia in the strike
district has had the desired effect and
disorders have ceased. Regular sol
diers, the Canadian Mounted Rifles
have arrived from Winnipeg and re.
lieved the citizen soldiers. Each OF
the regulars is armed with 300 rounds
of ammunition and, under the expert
enced direction of Colonel Steele, who
was in charge Of the South African
constabulary for three years following
the close of the Boer war, it Is felt
the situation is we'll in hand. Sol
diers have begun a search of every
house in the foreign quarter for
weapons. These must first be secured
before the ringleaders are deported,
Everything is quiet, but it has the
appearance of an armed truce. There
are. fifteen wounded in hospitals and
several in their homes as result OF
Thursdays shooting.

TOWN NEARLY WIPED OUT

About One Hundred Houses Burned
at Milton, Del.
Milton, Del, Aug. 14-Almost the
entire town of Milton has been de-
stroyed by fire. Nearly 100 houses, a
lumber yard and bank building were
destroyed. The loss will exceed $780,
900.
Several hundred persons were made
homeless by the fire. Aid was sum-
moned from surrounding points, but
owing to a wreck on the Delaware
railroad fire apparatus could not be
brought to Milton in time to be of
much use. Only twelve houses es-
capped the flames.

POWER SITE
CRAB DENIED.
Land Office Official Issues
Statement.
NO FILINGS in MONTANA

Declares That at No Time Since Sec
rotary BaiIinger Assumed Control
Of the Interior Department. Has Any
Individual or Corporation Secured
Any Government Holdings of That
Nature in That State. -.
Washington, Aug. 14.-"At no time
during the administration of Secre-
tary Ballinger have any power sites
been filed upon in Montana" These
words are used In a statement issued
by Acting Assistant Commissioner
Schwartz of the general land Office.
The statement, which Is significant
at this time in view of the discussion
which has arisen over water power
sites, was made as q denial of story
which alleged that in the Bozeman
(MOnt.) district one Jeremiah Collins
on June II filed on 1858 acres of
land valuable for power sites and in
the interest of large power companies.
The assistant commissioner says that
neither Collins nor the Collins Land
company has made any such filings at
Bozeman or elsewhere. Mr.. Schwartz
says:
"The only filing made at Bozeman
on June II was made by President
Ramsey of the Riverside Land and
Live Stock company and was an ap-
plication to amend an original se1ec-
ton made in 1898, aggregating a total
area of 1858 acres. The newspaper
correspondent, by emitting the dec
imal mark showing the sixty-eight
hundredths Of an acre, converted the
1853 acres into $4,000. This 1853 acres
covers two small springs in an arid
country and is intended by the live
stock company to acquire a place to
water sheep. Ramsey is not in the
power business, but is a banker in
Helena and stockman.
"As to Ramsey's application on June
II for 1858 acres it was rejected by
the local land Office and the rejection
sustained in this office for the double
reason that it was within railroad linn
its and stands withdrawn for reclama-
ton purposes"

OUR ClTY-A PULL TOGETHER.

There is no doubt that our city,
with the united efforts of its enter
prising citizens, can greatly increase
its business and enhance the value
of property. Everything indicates
a forward movement. The high
standard of morality that has sue
ceeded the frontier roughness of
early days. is inducing many to
look this way with a view to locat-
ing.
Our excellent schools is feature
that is greatly appreciated by the
best people of this section.
AS trading and shipping point,
Bemidji is already ahead of any
place in north-central Minnesota.
No place of its size in this section
receives greater shipments of mer-
chandise or has greater freight traffic
for the railways, and Bemidjii is rap
idly being recognized as the real
railway hub of northern Minnesota
Our bushes houses are being trans
formed into beautiful blocks, and
residences into modern dwellings
and cottages.
Now, as many are thinking and
talking of coming thither to locate,
let all give them words of encourage
ment and hearty welcome to this
goodly lind of pea e and abundance.
Encourage those who are worthy,
whether they have capital or not.
Labor is worth money. Those who
have money will buy lots, build
houses or remedial old ones.
Let us work and stimulate every
enterprise by giving it all the friend
ly encouragement we can, and
unite our industry, intelligence and
capital in a common cause for the
good of our city. Let US cultivate a
public spirit and work more and
talk less.
Encourage our local authorities
in making improvements, when there
are funds available for such purpose.
Speak up, speak we'll, talk encourag.
ingly of Bemidji and its bright
prospects.
1t is these many little things that
make a city grow.
Nature has showered upon US her
choicest blessings, and with perfect
unity and effort for the good of oul
common cause, great will be the
result.
