BIG COLONY
OF BElC|ANS
HAVE ARRIVED IN FOLDAHL
WITH A VIEW OF MAKING
DAIRY FARMING THEIR PRlNcl.
PAL BUSINESS,

A big colony Of Belgians, 80 fam
lilies in all, have just arrived in the
town of Foldahl, direct from the
fatherland, for the purpose of engag-
Ing in diversified farming, especially
dairying. They have erected temper
ary quarters for their families on the
Great Eastern road just opposite
Andrew Bergstrom's place, and as
soon as they can do so, they will
build comfortable farm houses on the
different tracts Of land that they have
secured. The D. s. B. Johnston Land
Company, which owns a great deal
Of land in Foldahl, has agreed to fur
nish $500 worth of building material
with each farm sold to these settlers,
that being included in the purchase
price.
These people come from a densely
populated part of Europe, where in
tensive farming has been carried on
for centuries, and they know how to
cultivate the soil so as to make it
produce the most, and get the best
results. They are all practical and
thrifty farmers who will from the out
set make dairying their principal
business. They have settled in To-
cality that is, specially we'll adapted
to the dairy industry, and we have
no reason to doubt that in a few
years their settlement will be famed
for it's dairy products. The new set,
tiers are of very desirable class, in.
dustrious and thrifty, and will make
good American citizens. Some OF
them can speak a little English, but
most of them know no other language
than French or Dutch. Their child
rem will soon learn the language OF
this country. In a few years these
sturdy settlers will make the towr

WILL BE A BIG GATHERING.
Firemen's Tournament at Bemidji
Promises to be a Hummer in July.

Joe Staska, sprinting champion of
the northwest, will be present at the
fire tournament in Bemidji, July 4, 5,
6 and Z, and will run with the War
rem fire department.
Staska, who was with the Warren
fire department but is now attending
the University of Minnesota, made a
remarkable race at Crookston year
ago. He tied Garceau, of Red Lake
Falls in the 100-yard dash, the time
being 10 rs seconds. The two men
Immediately ran off the tie and stas-
ka won by II inches in 10 seconds
fiat. The race was held on the as
phalt pavement.
Ray Schumacher, of Bemidji, form,
erly held the record of the firemen's
association, having secured the title
at Cass Lake in 1902, Mr.. Schumak-
ers record of 10 3-5 seconds at that
time was made in soft sand, and
race between him and Staska will be
a hummer. ....
In letter to A. G.. Rutledge, of
Bemidji, Joe Staska says, II wish to
remark that I will be at the tourna-
ment this year to defend my title as
sprinting champion of the northwest,
and incidentally I hope to better or
at least equal my standing record, if
weather and track conditions are in
any degree favorable. I hope that
your plans for the largest and best
tournament yet held will mature

A DRAMA OF
WONDERFUL INTEREST.

Most strikingly reflective of all the
scriptural dramas ever presented is
'The Holy City," Clarence Bennet's
powerful and interesting play, pic
lures with vivid strength and master
ly power, the scenes and incidents
leading up to the betrayal of the Mas
ter, by Judas. The dance of Salome,
the daughter Of Herodias, before King
Herod, IS shown, as is her success
full plea for the head of the great
preacher. After Johns death, events
move with great rapidity and the plot
ting and scheming of the high priest
and the Pharisees with Herod are
depicted as we'll as the giving of the
thirty pieces Of silver to Judas, who
promises to betray Jesus into the
hands of his enemies. The presence
of Jesus, is of course, only suggest
ed, but 80 cleverly is this done that
the spectator seems carried back two
thousand years and fancies himself
an actual witness OF the great scenes
which accompanied the enactment Of
the greatest tragedy in the history
Of the world. Other scenes depict the
commissions Of nature at the moment
Of the crucif1xion, the suicide of the
remorseful Judas and the bringing Of
the glad tidings Of the resurrection.
The entire play is a drama Of simple
majesty and wonderful interest and
is presented by company Of ster-
ling players.
"The Holy City" will be presented
at the Opera House, on Wednesday,
May rs. with its author. Mr.. Ben-
nett, himself. in the dual roles Of
John and Judas.

FIRST DREDeE STARTS WORK
on the Biggest and Most comprehen-
sIve Drainage Proposition Ever
Planned in State, -..
Engineer Hoag Will Secure Data Re-
garding Effect Of crookston
Waterways.


age Co., started their first dredge on
ditch No. II, located in eastern Mar
shall, Red Lake, Roseau and Beltrami
counties, the greatest drainage pro-
5ect ever started, not only in Mime
sofa, but in the entire Northwest,
which, with it's laterals, will cost over
S5O0,O00, and within few days will
have another big dredge at work. En-
gineer W. R. Hoag, who has general
direction of the scheme, came up from
st. Paul yesterday and proceeded to
Thief River Falls, and will have gener.
al charge Of the scheme, which. will
redeem thousands of acres of land,
much of which has been classed as
swamp land, and will make it as rich
agricultural land as can be found in
the world.
The scheme is a gigantic one, but
perfectly feasible, the fall is ample and
the water will be carried off rapidly,
and the amount of water to be han
died will by its own action wash the
bitches deeper and deeper each sue
ceeding year.
One Of the big problems the state
will have to figure out is the amount
of work to be done in Strengthening
out Thief River in order for that
stream to take care of the immense
amount of water that will be dumped
into 1t. And it is in connection with
this problem that Mr.. Hoag will devote
month or more in securing data as
to the percentage Of decrease in the
head of a stream caused by sharp
bends. In straight ditch with a Civ
en- fall, the volume of water that will
be discharged can easily be figured
out, but no standard has ever been
established upon which to base the re
straining influence of certain mum
Der Of bends of given angle o1
sharpness. >~~. i -
Accurate data in this connection vii
be secured by Engineer Hoag, and up
on it will be based the .alnount o.
Strengthening of Thief River to be
done, and the size of the waterway
that will be necessary to take care
of the great volume of water to be tax
en- care Of coming through the drain
tage bitches into the river.
Some apprehension has been fel
that even Red Lake River may be un
able to take care of the vast amour
Of water that will thus be hurried t.
it in the spring when the snow disap
pears rapidly, or when general rain
Of more than ordinary precipitation
falls within short space of time. I
the state dumps more water in a rive
than the river can take care Of, it i
up to the state to increase the carry
ing capacity of the river by straight
ening out the bends or deepening tn
channel to increase the head.-Be
