Or. HERON LIKES BEMIDJI
Say. Air i. Full Of Health and Lake Of
Obliging Fish.

I Do fish bit at Bemidji? Well,
that depends. If you had seen DR..
Heron shaking them out on the
Red Lake bridge last Friday you
would think they bite and plenty
too. DR.. Heron, of the Soldiers
Home in Minneapolis, and his
father, Alex Heron of St. Paul, have
been taking in the Joys and beauties
of Bemidji during the week. Judg-
ing from the fish they caught, they
must have a charm that some of
the local men have not hooked
onto yet. The doctors catch Friday
was over fifty pounds of pike and
.pickerel.
= DR.. Heron said that he noticed
the crowd on the circus grounds
when the show was here on Wednes-
day and paid it the compliment of
being the best behaved lot of people
he ever saw. "Bemidji only wants
to be known" he said, " to be appre-
ciated. The air is full of health, the
lake full of the most obliging fish,
and the town is in all respects a
credit to the best state in the

.JOBBERS IN BEMIDJI
FOR NINETY MINUTES
Stop Long Enough for Auto and Launch
Rides Are Travelling Through
Tweney- mine Counties.

The large party of St. Paul jobbers
and manufacturers who are making
a week tour Of upper Minnesota ar
rived here about two O'Clock this
afternoon. The ninty minutes they
were here was spent on the lake
and in auto rides around the city.
The visitors were given a good idea
of the beauties and advantages of
Bemidji and met the business me
who are buying in st. Paul.
Originally, the party intended to
spend tonight here, but revision
of the plans made them leave St.
Paul Sunday night instead of Mon
day morning 50 that they reached
here half a day earlier. This trip,
which is being made over the Great
Northern, is 1900 miles long, and
will take the men through twenty
nine counties of upper Minnesota.
Many making the trip have never
been in these counties before
although they have been selling to
them for years. Stops varying from
half an hour to ninety minutes are
being made. 49,
+ Three standard sleepers, one tour
list sleeper, a diner, two baggage cars,
one car for train help, and an observa-
ton car make up the special train.
The Minnesota state band is
making its sixth trip with the
jobbers. Tonight will be spent in
Grand Rapids.

AN INVESTIGATION
IS REQUESTED
Secretary Of Philippine Com
mission Leases Friar Lands.

washington, June 14.-Representa-
tive John A. Martin of Colorado in
troduced a resolution in the house
demanding an investigation into the
alleged friar land holdings of Frank
W. Carpenter. Mr. Martin charges
malfeasance in office. The name of
E. c. Worcester is coupled with that
of Mr.. Carpenter in the resolution.
The charge is that Mr.. Carpenter,
who is executive secretary of the CON-
mission of the Philippine islands, had
leased 5000 acres of former friar land
in the Philippines at monthly rental
of 8 cents an acre. 1t is not known
whether Mr.. Carpenter has been cult
waiting the land or has been subletting
it.
Mr.. Carpenters connection with the
leased lands comes as a surprise and
will probably cause those who scent
scandal to pursue a new line of in
vestigation. The agitation arises out
of the laws by the attorney general
and some congressman. The attorney
general held that the law restricting
the sale of public lands in the Phil
ippines did not apply to the friar
lands, which were purchased by the
Philippine government and are not
classed as public lands under the
terms of the oct of congress.
Large tracts of the friar lands have
been sold to individuals who, it is
claimed by Mr.. Martin, were acting as
agents of the sugar trust Mr.. Martin
does not class Mr.. Carpenter among
them, but intends to- ascertain the To-
cation of tie lands leased by Mr.. Car
penter and the use they were put to
since he obtained control.

PROSPECTIVE FARMERS
SEND ADVANCE AGENT
A. R. Richardson Here to Look Over
County Maps for Lands Open
For Settlement.

A. r. Richardson of Minneapolis,
who is acting as advance men for
nearly 200 families in Minneapolis
and the southern portion of the
state, was in the city yesterday
morning. Mr.. Richardson was look
ing for county maps and charts which
would direct him to government
'ands in this county as we'll as other
lands in this section of the state
that are open for settlement pur-
poses. He left for Crookston in the
afternoon where he will secure
other pointers.
Mr.. Richardson believed that his
trip here will result in securing hum
dreds of families who will take up
land and settle it. He stated also
that there are people right in our
own state who believe that these
government lands are unsafe, as the
impression prevails. especially in the
southern part of the state, that after
a homesteader has proved up or has
lived on his claim for year or more
the government may reclaim it, thus
leaving the homesteader nothing for
his time and work. Mr.. Richard
son also stated that when the people
find cut what he believes he can
learn, there will be hundreds of set
tiers come here.
When asked what he though of
Canadian lands, he said,-Talk
about your Canadian lands, they
don't begin to be in it with our
lands. The men who make the
money in Canada are the real estate
men, hotels and merchants, and not
the farmers" He also stated that
a man should have at least $4,000
to get good start in Canada and if
he hasn't the $4,000 he has no bust
ness there; and if he has it, he has
no business there either because he
can do so much better right here in
our own state with that amount of
money.

Spokane tribe, has laid claim to 100
acres of highly improved farm and

ing after years. rent the settler said
he had bought the land outright
from Nellie's white husband, Joseph
Wilson. c. C.. Biglow proved upon
the claim in 1886 and sold the
holding to Wilcox in 1889.
4 Old settlres say that Chief Garry
and his daughter never lived on
the land in dispute. However the
old squaw has so far convinced the
commissioner of Indian affairs as to
cause an investigation. Wilcox
