we're case of kidney disease which af-
fected my entire system, intense back
aches and weakness across my loins
SO severe at times as to cause me to
stop work. l was unable to stoop or
lift anything without enduring sharp
shooting pains through my back and
sick headaches and pains in my eyes
were daily occurrences. My health
was completely broken down, con-
suited doctors, and tried many RENE
dies but got no relief. l saw Doan's
Kidney Pills advertised and decided
to try them. After the first few doses
felt relief, | continued their use until

Plea For Farmers Wives.


In the development Of character the
home should be more important than
the school or than society at large.
When once the basic material needs
have been met, high ideals may be
quite Independent Of income, but they
cannot be realized without sufficient
income to provide adequate founda-
ton, and where the community at
large is not financially prosperous it
is impossible to develop high aver
age personal and community ideal. In
short, the fundamental facts Of hu-
man nature apply to men and women
who live in the country just as
they apply to men and women
who live in the towns. Given a sufti-
Client foundation Of material well be-
ing, the influence Of the farmers and
farmers wives on their children be-
comes the factor Of first Importance
In determining the attitude of the next
generation toward farm life. The

Railroad Facilities.

Anticipating the opening of this
vast domain of unoccupied land, the
railroad systems have already plan
ned a network of lines that will afford
splendid facilities for shipments, far
better than the older sections of
North Dakota had for many years af-
ter their settlement. Through the
central-north portion the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul railway-Pa-
cific coast extension-runs, entering
the reservation (Standing Rock), at
a point opposite Mobridge on the Mis-
souri, river, and leaving the same
reservation at a point just east of
Lennon. This line has half a dozen
stations on the land opened up. The
Milwaukee is also building line in a
southwesterly direction from Mo-
bridge across the reservation, another
line from Mclaughlin northwest along
the boundary and up into North Dako-
ia, and other branches are contemplat-
ed. The Minneapolis and st. Louis
is also active and is building through
the reservation from it's Missouri riv-
er terminus at LeBeau. The North
western is also extending it's line

tract is eighty-seven miles in length,
in width at the narrowest point it is
thirty-two miles, with an eighteen
mile strip in the center which is about
eighty-four miles wide.
The Cheyenne river forms the
southern boundary of this land, the
Cannon Ball river the northern boun-
Diary, the great Missouri river the en-
tire eastern boundary, while between,
running from east to west and divid-
ing the vast tract in three almost
equal parts, are the Grand and Nor
eau rivers. OF the many streams in
addition, which are worthy Of note,
are Little Moreau river, Oak, Hump,
Virgin, Beaver Willow and Green
Grass creeks.

who have declared their intention to
become such. At this opening, like
all others, there will be many who file
on less than $50 acres. This is &C
counted for in many ways. In many
cases the ones filing have previously
filed on less than $50 acres and OBJ
tanned title to same, and these are
only eligible to file on such number
of acres, which added to their first
entry will make a total of $50 acres
for the two entries.
The number filing on less than $50
from this and other causes is surpris'
ing. 1t is safe to assume that up
wards Of $4,000 filings will be made
at this opening. which means that up
wards of $4,000 individuals will be d.
rectly benefited and three times as
many more indirectly through the de-

The plan is called by some a lot
terry, but it is in no sense a lottery,
for no money is paid the government
unless one actually d avs and files
on land The expense to register is
limited to a charge on the part Of the
notary Of twenty-five cents per per-
son, and under no circumstances is
one allowed to charge more Each
one desiring to get some of the land
must go in person to one of the points
of registration (for the government
takes the stand that if man is suffi,
GENTLY interested to get homestead
he should be sufficiently interested
to go and see at least port on of the
landes to be thrown open), and reg

Plan of Opening and Registration
Points.

Points.
While in some details it may diff.
fer the opening of these lands is
on the same general plan as the
Rosebud opening, which took place
in October, 1908, and the more re-
cent opening Of the Couer d'Alene
reservation, and regarding the man
agement of which there was never
at any time the slightest suspicion Of
irregularity. Following the procla-
nation of the president, which was
issued on September 18th, the period
Of registration extending from Oct.
4, to Oct. %, was set aside, during
which those who wish to secure land
may go to one of the points desig-
mated, Bismarck, on the main line OF
the Northern Pacific railway, being the
most convenient, and only registration
point in North Dakota, and register
their names on blanks supplied.
After the registration period, all
of the registrations from all of the
registration points will be forwarded
to Aberdeen, where the drawing will
be held October %, 1909, under the
personal direction OF Mr.. Jas. w.
Witten, superintendent of opening
and sale of Indian reservations, an
officer of the general land office, chief
law clerk, at Washington, who has de-
voted sixteen years of his life to the
opening to settlement of Indian res
ervations. The persons to whom
numbers are assigned may make Sc
lection and entry for the lands in the
order of their numbers, beginning
April l, 1910. 1t will not be neces-
sary for persons who register to at
tend the drawing. The fortunate ones
will be advised by mail.

Portable booths have been erected
wherein the notaries-only those off,
cially recognized by Superintendent
Witten, will be located night and
day during the entire period for the
purpose of receiving registrations.
The cost of registration is Is
cents and no Iold-ups will be toIerat-
ed by the government officials or the
city authorities cooperating with them.

Extent of the Tract.

To gain an idea as to the extent OF
the tract to be opened it is we'll to
note that the land extends in a
straight line from the Cannon Ball
river IN South Dakota, to the Chey-
enne river in Armstrong county, South
Dakota. From north to south the

club has taken the matter up and will
cooperate with the officers of the
United States land office at Bismarck
in every legitimate way to make the
registration a success and afford the
people who come here to register all
the information, assistance and op-
portunity possible.
A general information bureau has
also been established and such re-
liable information as can be obtained

ton is meeting with a storm o.
protest. 1t is thought by many
house members that the iunket
will not be taken.
At the present time, the ground
about the low spots, especially on
the shores of Cass Lake, is pretty
we'll frozen over, and the average
legislator who would make the trip
up north" would not know whether
he was looking at a frozen swamp
or snow-covered dry land. This
would greatly effect the condi.
tons at Cass Lake, where the shores
of the lake, all along from the
village dock, in both directions, are
low ground, and in the summer
time, when the water is somewhat
shut off from the Winnibigoshish
government dam, the yards of the
j. Neils sawmill are flooded and it
is impossible to reach the boat
landing, from the high ground
toward the village of Cass Lake,
without travelling very cautiously
over floating walks and submerged
graded roads.
These are conditions which cannot
be taken into consideration by a
causual glance, such as proposed by
the Cass Lake supporters of Repre-
sentative McGarry.
In the Kinds general" bill, the
village of Cass Lake is given every
opportunity to make good" the
assertions which have been so glibly
made, that the Cass county town is
the very best point for the school,
and that anyone acquainted with the
true situation could not think other
wise. Bemidji and the other towns
which are unitedly supporting the
general" bill, and all of which are
willing to leave the selection of the
site to any fair-minded board, are
only offering Cass Lake an equal
chance with the other aspirants for
the school, and it certainly appears
that our neighbor to the east had no
intention of accepting a fair offer,
but its citizens believe they have the
school already "cinched," and all
they have to do is to ignore other

pected from Visiting Managers Letter.

In an exciting game of basketball
at the Coliseum in this city last
evening, big Bemidg" continued to
evince her superiority to any neigh
boring team by defeating the Grand
Rapids five to the tune Of 80 to FL.
By winning the game last evening,
Big Bemidg" has proved that the
'hoodoo," which the Rapids has
held over Bemidji in athletics for
so many years is broken, the first
large crack having been made by
the Bemidji High School last Nov
ember when it defeated the Grand
Rapids High in football by a score
of IL to 6.
During the first half of the game
last night, M. S. Peterson of Bemidji
acted as referee and Lester Lofberg
of Grand Rapids as umpire, their
duties being exchanged during the
second half. The two teams lined
up as follows: + XII.

THORPE VS.. CARPENTER
IN A ONE-M|LE RACE
Second Championship Roller Race
+ Scheduled For Coliseum Tonight
Thorpe Is Confident.

All. Thorpe of Fargo and Harry
Carpenter of Crookston will meet
this evening at the Coliseum skating
rink in this city in the second race
of the series of three to decide the
roller championship of the north
west.
The first contest was pulled off at
the Auditorium in Crookston Wed
nesday night when Crookston's
speedy skater won by a lead of 10
feet before an audience of nearly
400 people.
Al. Thorpe is confident of being
able to win the race this ever ing as
he was handicapped by the unusual
shape of the course at Crookston
and he is now in the pink" of con.
dition. ...
These races are certainly on the
square" as both Thorpe and Car
penter are very anxious to secure
each others scalp" They have
been trying for a long time to
make arrangements to meet and it
was only recently that terms could
be made satisfactory to each.
1t was expected that a large
crowd of Crookston enthusiasts
would accompany Carpenter to Be
midi on this Moons train. -
The third race,if one is necessary,
will be skated on some rink in a
city mutually agreeable to the two
rivals, probably in Duluth or at
Grand Forks, N. D.
Manager Wyler, of the local rink,
has announced that he will cut the
price of admission to the race this
evening to what was charged at
Crookston last Wednesday, rs
cents. This will also include the
use of skates before and after the
race.

ST. Paul, Jan. 2S.-(Special to
Pioneer. 1.-The attempt that is be-
ing made by the supporters of Cas-
Lake to have a report made by the
house committee on normal schools
which would favor the location OF
the proposed sixth normal at Cass
Lake, after the committee had taken
brief junket and glanced at the
locations in the different towns, is
receiving severe condemnation, and
it is now believed that the resolution
to appropriate money to defray the
expenses of such a junket, if offered
on the floor of the house, will be met
with strenuous opposition. The
movement for a junket is taken by
the supporters of the Cass Lake
proposition in the hope that the
committees which make the junket
can be worked" to make favorable
report for Cass Lake.
The majority of the members of
the legislature oppose the PROPOSE
ton, on the ground that it is mani
testify unfair to take such a trip at
this time.
The committee has no authority
from the house to make such trip,
and until that authority may be
granted there will continue to be
opposition to the proposition.
1t would be a physical impossi-
bility for the committe to make the
trip at this time and return to
St. Paul with full and impartial
information by which a report could
be made to the house that was
entirely free of prejudice. The
towns that would be included in the
visit would be Bemidji, Thief River
Falls, Warren, Red Lake Falls,
Park Rapids and Cass Lake. The
careful inspection of the sites in
the different towns could not pos
sibly be made within two weeks,
and the members could not spare
half that time on such a junket.
Any attempt to reach a conclusion
as to which of the towns or cities
he best site without careful
igation would be the rankest
of unfairness, and the PROPOSE.
