THE ST. PAUL DISPATCH
"KNOCKING" UNFAIRLY
Makes No Attempt Disguise the Fact that Its Columns
Are 'Subsidized" in Favor of Cass Lakes
Normal Bill

proposition in the house committee
The gist of the above is one
sided, prejudiced view, favoring
Cass Lake, the reporter who does
the legislative stunt" for the Dis
patch being in the employ of Nc
Garry and his followers.
This normal school contest is not
a case of the field" against Cass
Lake or any other town in the north
half of the state. Bemidji is sup
porting the fair and impartial
general bill, and is willing to first
have the sixth normal school estab-
lished and then leave the location to
the state normal board or any other
fair board to determine. What we
strenuously object to is the attempt
of the Cass Lake supporters to have
the location determined by legisla-
! tive iunket of it's particular friends,
who will recommend the location of
the school at that point, without
giving the matter the proper investi-
cation that so important a move
should have.
The efforts of one or two twin
city papers to color conditions (for
a consideration will certainly not
innure to their benefit.
AS to the general bill' having
been practically killed in the COM
mittee, this statement is an absolute
falsehood. The Kinds general bill
will be reported to the house. even if
it has to 60 in on a minority report;
and when the measures come up for
passage, there will be one of the
prettiest scraps" ever seen on a
legislative floor in this state-and
Bemidji will be right in the front
rank of the fray.
Cass Lakes supporters have gone
a little too far in asserting and
insisting upon their claims, and the
spirit of fairness which, sooner or
later, predominates, will be mani
tested in the house in no uncertain
tones.
The school is by no means located
at Cass Lake, and that town, in re-
fusing to come in on fair and i'm
partial measure, is engendering a
feeling of bitterness that will yet be
her undoing.

estimated at $4,000, said to be
pretty well covered by insurance.
The origin of the fire is not
exactly known, but there are strong
hints today that an incendiary
torched" the Mullen block, and
that the destruction of the two adj
joining buildings was assured.
In making the assertion of in
cenuiarlsm, some local people point
to the fires which have occurred
here in the past aid which have
been the subject OF investigation by
special insurance agents, but nothing
ever came of it.
The Cass Lake fremen are today
receiving many congratulations on
the splendid work which they did
in preventing the fire from spread
ing and destroying more property.

TWO HOMES DESTROYED
LAST SATURDAY NIGHT
Claude Richie and Ole Rudd Sustain
Severe Losses. But Little Insur-
ance Carried.

The homes of Claude Richie and
Ole Rudd were totally destroyed
by fire Saturday night, from flames
which originated in an oYerheated
stove in the Richie house, at the
corner Of Fourteenth street and
Beltrami avenue.
The fire was discovered at about
II o'clock and had gained such
Roadway that the Richie family
were unable to save much of the
contents of their home, with the
exception of some wearing apparel
and a few articles of furniture, the
remainder Of the furnishings going
up in smoke"
The fire rapidly spread to the
home of Ole Rudd, a Short distance
away, and that house was soon
wrapped in a fiery flame, being re-
duced to heap of steaming ashes
in a very brief time. Rudd saved
but small amount of his furniture
and furnishings, and his loss was
almost total.
The fire department responded
promptly to the alarm, but despite
the fact that some 1900 feet of hose
was laid, the last hydrant on the
street was located at so great a dis.
lance from the fire that it was i'm
possible to reach the fire with a
stream of water.
Both houses, together with prac-
tically all the contents, were des-
troyed.
Ritchie's loss on the building was
$500, which is partially covered by
insurance. Mrs. Richie also lost
$50 in currency. which she had
secreted in a mattress in the house.
Rudd's loss was total, the house
being valued at $500, with no in.
surance.

.RUMORED THERE Will Be
ANOTHER NIGHT TRAIN
Great Northern Contemplating Putting
on Night Train on Sank Center
Bemldji Branch.

There is well-defned rumor to
| the effect that the Great Northern
railway is contemplating putting on
night train on the Bemidji-Sauk
Center branch of the c.. NJ, for a
trial trip. 1t is not announced just
when the service will 60 into effect,
but it is understood that it will be
some time within the next three or
four months probobly just before
the summer season starts in the lake
region of northern Minnesot.
There is great deal of travel on
the Sank Center-Bemidji branch of
the G. N, and it is one of the very
best paying roads of the Great
Northern system. The people along
this line have worked INCREASINGLY
for better train service, and the
unanimous demand for a night train
has undoubtedly had the effect of
calling the attention of the officials
of the company to the fact that the
north-line towns aud cities deserve
better service.
The majority of the towns along
the line have had but two passenger
trains day; one each way, and if
the night train should be installed it
would give two trains each way, with
unexcelled mail and passenger SER
vice to and from the twin cities and
Bemidji.
1t is not known at this time just
how the proposed trains will run,
and there is no further information
obtainable but the fact that the
installing of the train is receiving
the serious consideration of the
Great, Northern officials at St. Paul.
The putting on of night train
over the Bemidji-Sauk Center branch
of the Great Northern would prove
o. great value to Bemidji, as this
city is the division headquarters for
this line and trains bound east or
west over the Great Northern at this
point are so run that splendid con-
nections could be made here for
Duluth or Grand Forks.
