As the personal character of
c. A. Johnson is becoming
better known throughout the
state, observes the Linton Re-
cord, the republican voters of
all shades of factional opinion
are coming to the belief that
Mr.. johnson should not have
been defeated two years ago.
He is an able and clean man in
every respect. For eight years
he was county superintendent
of Ward county, and gave gen
eral satisfaction. He was may
or of Minot two terms, and
served his district in the lower
house of the legislature at the
sessions of 1905 and 1907. At
the latter session he introduced
a concurrent resolution for a
constitutional amendment, pro-
yiding for the establishment of
a normal school at Minot, and,
after a brisk contest, in which
the interests of Rugby as the
seat of the proposed normal
school were advocated by Rep
resentative Tofsrud, Mr.. John
son was successful. The reso-
luton passed both houses, was
by the 1909 session again
passed, and will be submitted
to the voters at the coming
election. The proposed amend
ment will undoubtedly be
adopted by the voters, as that
great area of thickly-settled
country in the northwestern
part of the state now has no
institution for the education of
teachers.
The writer served with Mr..
Johnson at the sessions of 1905
and 1907, and there is not a
man who was member of
either of those sessions, Of
whatever part or faction, who
will not bear witness to the
ability and personal kindness
of Charlie Johnson. As ex-
Senator Hansbrough remarked
the other day in a speech, e.
A. Johnson possesses most of
those personal characteristics
which made John A. johnson
Of Minnesota beloved by all
who knew him. 33

veloped by such a road.
Seventy-five per cent of the
land is arabic land and very
productive. The remaining
twenty-five per cent being
composed mostly of lakes with
some waste land.
There are two hundred forty
lakes in the ten townships tri-
butary to the proposed state
road, which, with the timber
and rolling surface of the
country, makes the beauty of
the scenery of this section un-
surpassed.

a result of this state road,
would be $500, 10000 with an
increase of personal property
in proportion.

legislative assembly to make
an appropriation sufficient to
build such state road.
Third, that meeting be
called to be held at Minot at a
date hereafter to be designated
by the president of this meet
ing, for the purpose of making
such arrangements as may be
deemed necessary to carry into
effect the purpose of this meet
ing and of these resolutions.
Fourth, that the several'coun-
ties in the second, eighth and
ninth judicial districts, be re-
quested to send delegates to
such meeting and that a COM

as many of the representative
business men, farmers and
others, as they can convenient
ly reach, to attend such meet
ing and that the com nmercial
clubs and civic organizations
be requested to send delegates.

be published.

lative assembly be asked to
build a state road through the
Turtle Mountains between Bot
tineau and St. John, for the
purpose of developing the Tur-
tie Mountains as an agricul-
tural and stock raising country.
| The cost for such a road
would be greater than can be
borne locally.
Owing to lack Of good roads
the country is in an unde-
ve1oped condition.
Roads from nearby towns to
connect with the state road
will develop this entire re-
gion.
It would require approxim-
ately fifty miles Of road to COZ
meet the extreme points.
