wide scope in securing a BET ter
shipping rate and cooperating with
other associations for the betterment
of conditions generally in this
section of the state.
The meeting was an enthusiastic
one and was attended by some fifty
persons living mostly north of Be-
midi who are interested in small
timber products and who are doing
considerable shipping of wood, cedar
and other class of timber from up
country" points to Bemidji and
other places in northern Minnesota
and North Dakota.
AL" H. Jester, secretary of the
Bemidji Commercial club, called the
meeting to order and Charles S.
Carter of Hines was chosen as the
chairman of the meeting.
Mr.. Carter issued the call for the
meeting, and he made brief
address, stating what matters would
be considered. Mr.. Carter said
that he had recently received a copy
of tariff which had been issued by
the Nj. & I. Railway company which
showed the rate of SIPS per thousand
for the shipment of logs from either
Blackjack, Hines or Tenstrike to
Bemidji, which was much less than
the rate for cordwood.
Mr.. Carter urged a full considera-
ton of shipping charges, and stated
that some two years ago the Black
duck Commercial club had secured
a joint rate from the M. & I. railway
company for the shipment of cord
wood from Blackjack, Hines and
Tenstrike over the M. & I. and G.. N.
railways to points west of Bemidji.
This rate was continued uutil
September, 1908, when, for some
unknown reason, the rate was dis
continued without giving due
notice to shippers; that the old
rate had been 11Ac. per cwt. for
cordwood, but was now &C. per
cwt.
Mr.. Carter stated that the
object of calling the meeting was
to form an organization of shippers
and merchants in the north coun.
try to take cognizance of all mat
tiers relating to the shipping Of
timber products, etc.
Mr.. Jester called attention to
the development and reapportion-
ment meeting which will be held
in Bemidji on February 1913. He
suggested the appointment of a
committee from the shippers to
attend the developm ent meeting,
as the delegates to that meeting
would be glad to consider any
suggestions of the character which
had been mentioned and would be
pleased to cooperate with the
association and render any help
possible.
S. F. Thompson of Tenstrike
thought that the time was opportune
for action in securing fair rates and
also to regulate shipments of cord

Facts About the Sturgeon

SwAHE sturgeon is called royal
fish, but few people are aware
OF the reason for this. IL is
not because of its beautiful. glisten-
ing armor OF shining scales or the
strange tasting roe that Is made into
caviare, but because, according TO an
act OF Edward II, which seems to be
still in force, all sturgeon belonged
TO the crown.
The act in part Is as follows: "The
king shall have Wrack or tho sea
throughout the realm. Whales or great
sturgeons taken in the sea or else
where In the realm belong TO the
crown. except in certain places priyi-
legged by the King"
The largest species of the sturgeon
IS the great Huso. which inhabits the
rivers and inland seas of Russia. 1t
is sometimes as much as "a feet long,
while the smallest is the Eterlet, only
abou. three feet long. Surgeons seek
their food I'm the mud at the bottom
of the rivers. ployiDg this up with
their long shouts, which are protect.
ed with broad plates and have curious
worm-like "feelers" a little way be-
hind, and on the under side.
The work of these feelers Is to ex-
amine the treasures turned up by thel
snout. and 1t is from their habit OF
stirring the mud that surgeons mos:
likely gained their name. This comes
from the German word "storen,"
which means to poke up" or stir.

FAD AND ANTI-FAp.
Even Opposition to Hobbies May VI
timateIv Become an Annoyance.


ANY habit even a good one, is Dao'
declared an eminent physician' Gnu
he was able to give a reason ior 'ne
faith that was in him. 1t Is an evii
for a man to become the creature
or the slave of anything. We nave
spoken of the great benefit OF NM
Weston's example. There is no douD'
that open-air' walking might pron'-
ably be more widely practlced. But
it would be mischieyous for men u

because of a certain compulsion-go-
ing to the daily task with something
Of the feeling Of the quarry slave
scouraged to his dungeon. Oh course
II is conceivable that in certain ab-
normal cases such exercises must DC
taken under compulsion, but tnae
compulsion is obviously for the sake
of the doer and not Of the practice.
Nor are fads confined to personal
habits. They appear in INDUSTRIAL
and business life. The multiplication
of strikes in this and other countries
| suggests suspicion that many strikes
are ordered or INDUCED in not -e-
cause there is any adequate provo
| cation, but just for the sake OF strik-
ing. This has VIGOROUSLY and con-
| fessedly been the case In France
| where strikes have repestedly been
| ordered for no Cause whatever ex'
| cepting that the power Of the men
might be shown
In public affairs the same faddisn
| tendency appears. Conservation Oh
resources is assuredly most desir'
able thing and it should be thorough
iy and comprehensively but discrimt
natirg'y practiced. wherever there
are resources needing conservation
they should be conserved. But they
are TO be conserved not for their owl
sake. but for their subsequent use FOL
the good of the people. Simply &c
lock them up against use would p
