CIRCULATING FALSE RUMORS.
Seems to be System of Parties Jealous of the Shannon Contractors.

Since the various railroad camps have been established along the line of the new Shannon-Arizona railroad, unknown parties have been busy cir culating various false rumors iu con nection with the work, wages and oc- currences at the camps. For instance the men working at Metcalf were in- formed that the men at other camps of tie road were receiving higher wages, while at the other camps the same rumors were being circulated about the Metcalf camp. Other rumors were to the effect that some of the contractors had been murdered
 The only object of the originators of such rumors was to create trouble or possible strike on the road, but it is well known fact that all of the camps are peacable and the men working on the road are all satisfied. The best of feeling prevails between the contractors and laborers and the trouble makers will have to start something else the next time.

It is black in- sect with hump on it's back, and has been named as the 'prospector buzz as it certainly loves to chew on prospectOrs, whose flesh is seasoned.

WE'VE GOT THE "STREAM Of PURE RUN.
MING WATER"

Fish hatcheries are always located
on running streams of pure water;
neither Cass Lake nor Bemidji can
lay claim to. any such rivulets and
neither can ever hope to be the cen
ter of piscatoral art. What next.
Doc?-Cass Lake Times.
The above excerpt was taken from
the Cass Lake Times, and followed
a comment on the proposed govern
ment fish culture station for the
establishment of which Senator
Nelson has introduced a bill in con.
gress.
Now, that is just where you are
wrong, Judge. Bemidji has one OF
the prettiest streams of pure run
ming water" you ever set eyes on.
1t flows out of Bass lake into the
Mississippi river; has the proper
fall and is an ideal location for a
fish culture station.
Bemidji has a site, east of Lake
Bemidji, on the stream referred to-
running from Bass lake to the
Mississippi river; and if we should
be awarded the culture station can
produce the goods"

For a clean-printed, and exceed.
ingly interesting paper, the Herald
Review of Grand Rapids is among
the best of the many Minnesota
weeklies that come to the Pioneer
table. Editor Kiley is one of the
newspaper men of the old school,
he's an all-around printer of ability,
hustler for news, and an editorial
writer he hews to the line in a
manner that makes the chips fly,
regardless of whom they may hit.
Despite his caustic pen, Bre'e1
Kiley is one of the best writer's
in the state, although he's exceed
ingly "obstreperous," at times.
