Normal School is becoming interest
ing and has assumed the attitude of
Cass Lake taking the dog-in-the-
manger position against all other
applicants for the school.
Arguments in favor of another
state normal school were presented
to the normal school committee of
the house last evening by several
school men of the state. G. E. Max

w. C. Shoemaker, president of the
St. Cloud normal, said that his
school was already too large, making
it impossible for him to know the

one at Moorhead, is over-crowded,

to turn away people with a pur-

Arguments were made by Superin-
tendents Larson of Cass Lake, A. T.

Thief River Falls to show the large
territory which is far distant from
any of the present normal schools

It was agreed, priorSto the meet
ing of the committee held last even

different towns should refer in no
way to the location of the school,
and at the conclusion Of the argu-
ments the committee retired in
executive session, and latter re-
ported that they had decided unani-
mously to recommend the establish
ment of sixth normal3school some-
where in northern Minnesota; and
that they would, at 2:30 this after
noon, listen to arguments of the
different applicants for the school.
At the executive session, it is
stated that some of the members
Of the committee, with the exception
of McGarry, who represents Cass
Lake, were favorable to the recon-
mendation Of a general bill, leaving
the location of the 5 school to
the normal board. Mr.. McGarry,

would not leave it to any board; it
was Cass Lake or nothing for him.

St. Paul, Mimi, Jan. 21.-The
biennial report of the Minnesota
state board of immigration was today
submitted to the legislature by Mr..
George Welsh, immigration commits
sioner.
The report cites what vast de-
velopment has occurred within the
the state of Minnesota. In 1860
the manufa ctured products for the
year were worth s3,OOO,O0O; in 1907
they were worth S35O,OOO,OO0.
Mr.. Welsh states that the energy
of the department has been entirely
directed toward retaining where pos
sible the present agricultural popu-
lation, and inducing tillers of the
soil to settle within the border lines
of the state of Minnesota. At first,
display of advertising was tried in
magazines and widely circulated
journals, but this proved too expen-
sive. It was found more profitable
to use smaller ads, inviting inquiry
and correspondence. This proved
immensely successful. By this
means, during the past year 63.393
individuals were reached, and a
large amount of specially prepared
literature advertising the great oppor-
tunities for settlers, were placed in
most desirable hands. To demon
strate in pratical way what Mime
sofa can do agriculturally, exhibits
of products have been displayed by
the immigration department at vari-
Gus expositions and fairs.
Some work has been done toward
encouraging European settlers to
come to Minnesota, but this is diff
cult on account of not having a
representative of the Minnesota de-
partment in Europe. Negotiations
are now pending, however, to have
several thousand families of German
farmers who settled in southern
Russia and are dissatisfied, move to
lands in northern Minnesota. Word
has been received that an advance
guard of 80 of these families will
start for Minnesota under direction
of S. Richmond of Arcadia, Wis.,,
within 80 days.
Suggestions for changes in the
laws governing the sale of state
lands are made as follows: 1. The
state does not provide guides or
cruisers or any other persons to show
the intending purchaser where the
different descriptions are located.
AS these lands are largely timber
lands without roads or other marks
for guidance, and not easily acces.
sible to persons unfamiliar with their
location, it would seem that at least

During the year 1908, the state of

this city.
Of the above $1,o63.50, $1,045.5o

for cubs, the payments being made
at the rate of $50 each for the
former and So each for the latter.

POWER FROM DAM
TURNED ON YESTERDAY
Bemidj Is Using Electricity From Both
Mississippi Dam and Local Steam
Plant.

The Beltrami Electrict Light &
Power company turned their current
into this city yesterday for the sec
ond time since the completion of
their new power dam in the Mis-
sissippi river, nine miles east of Be-
midi.
The new electric company,
were just ready, December End, to
use their water power from the
dam to light and furnish electricity
for Bemidji, when the two center
water wheels were broken and carried
away, owing to the poor cement in
one of the shaft supports.
The Warfeld brothers, managers
of the new company, Immediately
sent to Pennsylvania for two new
wheels, one of which arrived by ex-
press few days ago and was set up
at the dam. The other wheel is
expected to arrive by freight about
the first of February.
At the present time the city is
using an average of $50 horse
power, $50 of which is being sup
piled by two of the wheels at the
Mississippi power dam and the 200
by Warfeld's steam plant in this
city. With the addition Of the other
wheel: the new plant will be capable
of furnishing HOO horse power,
which is more than sufficient to
supply the present needs of Bemidji.

Local Boy in High Position.

Mr.. William G. Ritter, son of
Mr.. X. H. Ritter, of Wildwood.
has been selected as Principal of
the new school for deaf and blind
colored children at Newport News,
one of the most important school
selections in the State.
Mr.. Ritter is a printer and news

old COURIER and also for Hon.
Harry Houston on the Hampton
Monitor.
He is unquestionably one of the
brightest and most capable deaf
mutes in America, and the COU-
RIER is delighted to hear Of his
success.
Concerning the new school the
Suday Times-Dispatch says:

State, who are more general read
erS. are requested TO make known
TO any parent or guardian of such
child the eXistance of this new
school, and TO communicate with
the superintendent at once.
The teachers in this new school
will be white people. The board
of visitors have not relied entirely
upon their own Judgment In the
matter. They have communicated
with the management 81 similar
schools in other Southern States.
in fact, they have been largely
guided by the experiences of
schools that have existed thirty
and forty years in neighboring
States. With these schools it has
not been question of color of
their teachers, but theall-important
