An editorial last week in which
we stated that one of our adver-
tisers had cut his ad out because
the paper did not take up the dry
end OF the recent issue seems now
to be without proper foundation.
We have had a heart to heart talk
with the party In question aud he
assures us that he had no objection
whatever to the course taken by
the paper, but simply ordered his
ad. out because the business at the
present time did not justify its con-
tinuance, aud that he expected to
resume advertising In a short time.
We had been told by pretty good
parties that II was on account of
the position the paper took that he
ordered the nd out, so we believed
q few remarks on the matter would
not come amiss. However, we are
perfectly willing to take the gentle
mans word for il. since he says II
Is untrue.

Moderate prices prevail, making
the cold lunch a, stroke of economy

cold dishes exclusively, high grade
of excellence being assured thereby
OF course, it is optional with the
patron whether he have a cold

TAFT WILL ATTEND THE
CONSERVATION CONGRESS
Has Accepted Invitation and Will
Speak on Opening Day-Likes
Program.

St. Paul, Aug. 4.-President Taft
has accepted St. Paurs invitation to
address the second National Conskrva-
ton congress on the opening day,
Sept. 5.
Taft's acceptance puts the final
mark, of success on the efforts of the
Twin City committee which, headed
by Governor Eberhart, went to Bey-
erly to present to the president in per-
son an urgent invitation to attend the
conservation meeting. Two meetings
were had with the chief executive.
Mr.. Taft let it be known that he was
thoroughly satisfied with the program,
but reserved his decision. Now the
matter Is settled and St. Paul is to
have the historic distinction of en-
PERTAINING president and an ex-presi.
dent at the same convention.
The presidents attendance will be
big boom for the conservation con-
gress and will have even a greater ef-
feet than is evident on the surface of
things. There has been feeling that
since a question had been raised in
certain quarters as to the friendliness
OF the congress and of this section of
the country to the present occupant of
the White House certain of the gov
:ernors were waiting to see how Mr..
Taft would act before pledging them
selves to come. Now that political
consideration is eliminated. With the
president openly espousing the cause
under the colors it is flying the big
meeting will be, so far as such a gath
ering can be, united effort toward
common aim.
The presidents address will be the
principal feature of the opening day
OF the congress. following close on the
heels of the addresses of welcome
from Governor Eberhart, Mayor KEEL
Ter, President Baker and other officials
of the congress and of the conserva-
ton association. The remainder of
the day, which has been given the
name of presidents and Governors
day." will be given over to the chief
executives of the states for free and
open discussion of the phases of con-
servation which are nearest their
hearts

I For Dredging Work.

Z. At the meeting Of the Bemidji

parlors of the Markham, there was
much discussion over the low stage
of water in the lake. Charles
War6eld, of the War6eld Electric
company, addressed the meeting
and said that the company was do.
ing all that it could to keep the
water in the lake. The city plant
is being run eighteen hours a day
on steam so that the water will
not be let out of the lake through
the dam. .- ..
DR.. Taylor came over from
Lavinia to attend the meeting and
represented the, summer cottagers.
He was informed that the Boat
club plans to do all that it can to
make the lake a pleasant place for
boating and that the club would
appreciate the assistance of the
summer residents. .....
Members were requested to pay
up their 1910 dues as the channel
dredging at the outlet had left the
treasury empty and a large part
of that bill remains unpaid.
