but my opinion ls that 2 man
who has any old farm in Iowa,
lis just about as we'll fixed as a
farmer can be and is just a lit
tie more sure of a crop than the
farmer of any other country.
We were relieved Of the monot-
ony of a great deal of country
because of the night and a good
refreshing sleep. On Monday
We awoke at Cut Bank and
from there to the end of our
journey we had no time when
we were not interested. From
Cut Bank to Summet is a long
tedious climb 81: :ho the hills
are not very rugged. Arrived
at Summit we got our first real
view of the Rockies. One who
has let their Imagination lead
them to expect mighty craigs
and Alpine spears is doomed
to disappointment; but it is q
novel sight and one has to be
told twice before he can realize
that the white spots on the
sides of the peaks are snow.
AS we proceeded into the
mountains the scenery became
more rugged and interesting.
Distant views were impossible
because Of the smoke from the
forest fires which are raging in
various parts of the western
forests. Roosevelt, this spell
ing may be bad, or any man, be
he democrat, republican, green
back or horse thief, who makes
a 1lght Tor the proper prOtec-
tion and care of the forest sec
tions of the west and south
should have the individual sup.
port of every justice loving
American citizen. The condi-
tions along the roads are awful.
AS we passed along we went
thro thousands and thousans of
acres where fire had done its.
awful work Of devastation.
Where had been the valuable
forest now stand tall sticks.
rearing their stark, gaunt forms
toward heaven, standing as
somber ghosts of the verdant
past, awful reminders, to the
present and unborn generations

At White Fish is a beautiful
mountain lake about seven
miles long with an average
width of about a mile. 1t is
very pretty and is said to b.
olentifully stocked with trous.
The scenery from here to Sand
Point is by far the most rugged
and interesting of any on the
route. The road follows the
Flathead river and the high
mountains and rushing torrent
combined to make a very inter-
esting picture which is COR
SANITY changing, thus taking
away any chance of monotony.
Photography is accurate, great
artists paint beautifully, but
the handiwork Of the Almighty

Laporte Scene OF Rumpus.- Whiskey
Flows Freely at Place Of
A. N. Jones.
RAID MADE BY H. A. LARSON, N.
J. SER0 AND C. T. JOHNSON.
Uncle Sam Means Business When He
Gives Orders For Saloons
to DRY Up"

The government Indian officials
are still on the war path. It should
be about time that the localities
ordered on the dry list" by
Uncle Sam be convinced that they
cannot monkey with the booze
wagon" and that the water wagon
is the only resort.
A tribe of handsome fellows too
good to be seen in gin mills"
raided the place of A. M. Jones at
LaPorte the other night and with
malicious intent and fendish glee
bounced upon booze and bottles,
and smashed them into nothing
ness" What shame it must have
been to see the precious stuff flow
ing freely in the dirty gutter.
This band of raiders consisted
of H. A. Larson, leader, and his two
assistants, N. J. Sero and c. J. John
son. If the law breakers think it a
pleasure for these officials to make
these raids they are much mistaken.
When Uncle Sam learns that
whiskey was shipped: into certain
unforbiden community of this Sec
ton, he sends his officers under the
able leadership of one H. A. Larson
to find the " goods" or the "empties"
Larson generally has the goods"
with which to find the goods" and
he seldom fails.
Most of the saloon men have
learned to know and like him and
when they consider the fact that he's
here to do his duty, be it pleasant
or otherwise, they should have all
the more regard for him.
Mr.. Larson and his understudies
were also busy in Deer River last
week. The Itasca News devoted
nearly column to the recent raid
upon Walt. Johnson and Jack Jones
and Mcdonald. 1t stated, that in
regard to an inquiry as to the
safety of "bitters," MI. Larson re-
piled that they were safe as he was
not after that kind of goods, but
peddlers or boot leggers are what he
was after.
Mr.. Larson left for Duluth Mon
day.

"B|G .BEM|DG' TO PLAY
LITTLE FALLS TEAM
Two Games are Schedu|ed.-To Play
Thursday and Friday Nights
at Coliseum. .

L AS <AAA OSoA VI DASSAS e%AAo3
one of the strongest independent
teams of Northern Minnesota is
to meet big Bemidg" Thursday and
Friday at Bemidji in a regular
championship game for the honors
in Northern Minnesota. ~. - -,
The All Star" team is composed
of ex-college men and have always
put up a strong fight for its title.
Will Collins, formerly of Bemidji
played last year with the All Stars"
and it was through his influence
that they were matched with Big
Bemidg." ... ..--...-...........- =
The Bemidji boys are verv conf
dent of victory as they always are
and they have generally proved
themselves justified in their conf
dence. ..
There seems to be general senti-
ment about town that owing to the
loss of Joe Markham and Garnet
Peterson the big Bemidg" squad
would be so demorilized as to be
out of their old championship class,
but the boys think different. .....
The management is positive in
the assertion that the team will be
stronger this year than ever though
they miss Garnet Peterson especially,
who is one of the fastest guards in
defensive work in the state. By the
way the fremen are backing the
team it would seem there must
be something to it. Manager Heff-
ron insists that there is a surprise in
store for those who think the team
has weakened and he backs up the
statement.
However it is evident that the
team will need all its strength for
after the games Of next Thursday
and Friday with the husky All
Stars" they are booked to meet the
much footed Triple BIS" of Billings
Montana, with Joe Markhman as
their captain, as we'll as the N. D.
University, Co. I. of Superior and
all clalments for Northern, Mime
sofa championship =. D lu h
Y. M. C. A. not excepted. ...
For the past two weeks the boys
have been practicing regularly with
one or. two exceptions. They are
lamenting the fact that Brown is
not getting out with them but are
far from discouraged.
At last nights practice the team
showed up remarkably strong and
took and kept possession of the
ball at will, against the H. S. five.
Heffron has five good men who
play forwards, five who make good
guards and three first class men for
center, viz. -. ~# -
Forwards, H. Cell, Clark Dick,

up as follows:
Forwards, Nord, Hebron; center,

pretty accurate.
The following report was sub
mitted to the council by the commit:
tee on salaries:

signed, committee OH SdldI1cS, w
hereby respectfully recommend that
the following salaries be paid to the
persons who shall fill the following
named appointive Offices for the
year 1910.
City Attorney....... $50 per month
City Treasurer...... 80 per month
City Clerk. .......... so per month
Superintendent of
Water Works, and
Clerk of Water
Works-one man.. 80 per month
Judge of Munich,
pal Court. .......... 80 per month
CLERK of Munich
pal Court. ........ so per month
Chief of Police. 900. 80 per month
Each patrolman.... IS per month
Librarian ............ roper month
Janitress at City
Hall. ................ 10 per month
"Tauitor and Engi-
neer ................... IS per month
might Waterman
and Assistant Iaui-
tor .................... so per month
City Physician...... 1000 per year
Street Commits
sioner. IS per month
We further recommend that there
is placed in the office of the city
clerk telephone. It is very incon-
venient for parties desiring the SER
vice of the clerk to not be abe to
find out whether he is in his office or
not and being obliged to call at his
office.
1t will also be a great convenience
for the clerk in answering questions
and calling up parties when it is
necessary to talk on subjects per-
tanning to his office.
Referring to the office of city
physician which, in our opinion, is
an appointive office, we recommend
that the salary for this office be
placed at 1000 per year; that when
said officer is about to be appointed
and on his acceptance of office he
agrees to furnish, free of charge,
transportation of all persons who
are city charges and infected with
contagious diseases to place within
said city, provided for said persons.
In view of the fact that our water
system has become so extensive we
believe that it requires constant
attention from some one person, and
that the city will be aided financially
in paying a little larger salary to
one man than to let water rents 60
by default.
We therefore suggest that this new
officer be appointed superintendent
of water works and clerk of water
works but will consist of one man
and he be paid $50 per month.
Respectfully submitted,

office for the past three years and
his judgment in the matter of esti-
mating the cost for the city is per-
haps better than any one man. He
is thoroughly familiar with the bust
ness affairs of the City of Bemidji
and his report can be relied upon as
