lspecting Handling High Explosives.

~ H. B. Eyade of St Paul, special
agent of the government who has
charge of the inspecting of the
manner in which dynamite and
other high explosives are handled
IN this section of the state, has
been in Bemidji today, inspecting
the railway Offices and also con.
sulting with local merchants and
shippers relative to the handling
of the explosives. srs
There have been no complaints
lodged here relative to the handl-
ing of explosives; and it is more
than likely that Mr.. Eyade found
everything satisfactory relative
thereto. IA i i

and summer. The. experts state
that the greatest number of settlers
made their homes in Montana dur
ing the past year, but indications
point very favorably towards the
fact that Minnesota will be the
favored state this coming year.
The impression of northern Min
nesota has been vague to outsiders
and they believed that this section
was a frozen and barren county,
and that the land was not productive
and fruitful. This idea has been
done away with and it is becoming
realized that northern Minnesota
will be the garden spot of the north
west. III
Farmers of illinois, Iowa, Indiana
and Wisconsin have been over this
part.of the state with the view of
buying farms and have been agree
ably surprised to learn of the pro-
ductiveness of the soil and the early
maturity of the crops. #...
Toestimate ,conservatively, we can
say that at least 500 families will
settle in this county the coming
year. Many will exclalm that this
estimate is over.rated. but when you
will take into consideration the fact
of the large area of the county and
the low prices at which the lands
are sold, they will change their point
of view and wonder that many more
do not take advantage of these low
values.

At this early date, the farmers of

cognizance of the development
meeting held in this city February
II and IS.
A letter addressed to the presiden,
# the Northern Minnesota Develop
ment Congress, Bemidji, Mimi, has
been received from a party in
Plymouth, Iowa, stating that he
noticed in the Mason City news.
papers an article stating that there
was plenty of room in northern
Minnesota, and that the land was
good agricultural land and that there
was plenty of room for settlers in
this community. The party also
asked information regarding the
whereabouts of he government
lands on which claims might be filed
and information in general regarding
the settlement of the land in this
territory.
What a good live real estate man
could accomplish for this coun-
try as we'll as for himself can hardly
be realized. There are thousands
of people who want to come, but
they do not know where to come.
It's up to the land dealers in this
community to make. it known.

not defined with sufficient definite
ness.
That the law violates the 14th
amendent of the constitution of the
United States, in that it takes away
property without due process of law,
not being a reasonable exercise of
the police powers of the state.
And in the case against the Crook
ston Lumber company, that CON-
pany's road is not common carrier,
and hence the law is class legislation
in its bearing towards the road.
The counsel for the railway COM
panies claimed that the law was so
indefinite, uncertain and not under
standable to degree of being unen-
forceable, and actually void for un-
certainty.
The law if enforced would require
the railway companies to have a
man on every mile of their roads
every hour in the year; and Judge
Steele claimed, in the case of the G..
N. company, which owns some
5000 miles of track, the cost to that
company of maintaining parrolmen
in compliance with the law would
entail an expenditure of some
s6,500,000.
The point was made that the law
required the railway patrolmen to
60 onto the lands of private parties
and ascertain the conditions of those
lands with reference to dry season
and to extinguish fires on those
lands actually, become a tres
passer.
The counsel for the companies
commended that the law was exceed
ingly uncertain in. its requirements
of dry season" and left too much
to be determined by guess work,
and also that the distance to be
covered by the patrols in determin-
ing what constituted where sparks
from a locomotive would usually
cause fire.
Mr.. Coleman, fer the state, con-
tended that the supreme court had
ruled that such law should be very
literally construed, and that the
fire warden law of 1909 was sufic CT
emily certain and definite as to be
easily construed so that the lay
man" very we'll knew beforehand
whether he was committing a crime
or not, in the case of setting fires or
neglecting to extinguish such fires.
Many authorities were quoted, by
both sides; and the decision of the
judges will be rendered as soon as
they can again get together and
disucss the different phases of the
arguments that were presented.
The decision which will be rem
dered by the judges will have
far.reaching, effect, in that if the

decision is to the effect that the
law is unconstitutional and invalid,
and is so held by the judges, no
appeal can be taken to the supre me
court by the state.
However, should the decision up
hold the constitutionality and
validity of the law, the defendants
may appeal to the supreme court.

STATE FIRE WARDEN LAW
IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL O.
Judges McClenahan, Wright and Stanton, Jointly Hear
Arguments for and Against the Validity Of
the Law of 1909.

The constitutionality and validity
of the state fire warden law of
1909 was vigorously attacked here
yesterday, in district court, before
Judges McClenahan, Wright and
Stanton, sitting jointly to hear argu-
ments of counsel in some six cases
of the State VS.. various railway CON-
panies, the latter being charged
with having VIOLATED certain sections
of the fire warden law, more particu-
larly the patrol" section, the cases
having been decided in the lower
Justice or municipal court adversely
to the railway companies, and hav-
ing been appealed to the district
court from three counties in the
Fifteenth Judicial district.
The particular section on which is
based the attack as to constitutional.
ity of the act is that which requires
railway companies of the state in
dry seasons to employ at least one
patrolman for each mile of its road
through lands liable to be overrun
by fire to discover and extinguish
fires occurring near the line of the
road, by which is meant distance
within which a fire could usually
be set by sparks from a passing
locomotive"

Prior to hearing of arguments, it
was agreed that the hearing involved
the constitutionality of the law and
did not have any bearing on any
other phrase of the suits.
The principal contention of the
attorneys for the roads was based
on these grounds:
That the state fire warden law of
1909 violates the provisions of the
state constitution, in that no act
shall cover more than one subject,
which subject shall be expressed in
its title.
That the law is invalid, uncertain
and indefnate in its provisions and

EIGHT PEOPLE ON BILL
AT BR|NKMAN THEATRE
Cozy Smith and Her Picanninies, Miss
valoris and Harry vaIoris Show
Tonight.

-Cozy Smith and her five picannin.
les will tonight open an engagement
at the Brinkman Theater. This is
one of the best acts on the Ameri-
can stage today.
The Fargo Call says of Miss Smith
and her minstrel boys, who played
at the Bijou Theater in that city:
"Cozys Smith, and her five
picanninies which opened at the
Bijou last night offers an act which
made a big hit with the patrons of
that theater. Miss Smith and her
Ministries were given applause at
the first show last evening, which
was only little short of being an
ovation.
Behind Miss Smiths appearance
IN vaudeville there is an interesting
story. Several years ago, about ten
to be exact, Cozzette Smith was a
little girl with a big place in her
heart for music, and an earnest
desire to study for the concert stage.
Her ideas of the concert stage were
rather vague, but she pictured her.
self as rising from big grand piano
to receive the plaudits of many men
and women in evening dress.
For long time she studied the
piano with local music teacher,
until she learned about all he could
teach her, and then one day she was
fourteen, Miss Helen Gould came to
San Antonio, Texas, where she lived.
Without consulting her parents or
friends the girl called on Miss Could
and told her what she wanted to do.
"The wealthy young woman,
whose gifts to various philan-
thropic institutions have made her
famous all over the world, was so
pleased with the appearance and
the playing of the little girl, that
she agreed to give her musical
education. Accordingly Cozette
Smith, packed her .duds and en-
tered the conservatory of the st.
Louis University where she gradu
ated with high honors after three
years of study.
1 found that I could not qualify
as concert pianist however said
Miss Smith in telling the story, and
l began to compose music of songs.
Several of them have been pub
lished. Later it occurred to- me that
if I could pick up a number of
picanninies, real darby youngsters,
who could sing as if they enjoyed
it, the act would be received we'll in
vaudeville. Accordingly I began
trying the voices of a number of
little black youngsters. So we'll has
my act been received that 1 have
remained there for four years, and I
intend remaining there for as many
more"
In addition to the above, which is
a whole show in itself, Miss Valoris,
saprano singer and pianist, will
appear on the bill.
Harry Valoris, the famous mimic,
will put on several inimitable stunts.
There are eight people on the bill
at the Brinkman and the show is by
far the best ever put on at that popu-
lar place Of amusement.
