new senatorial district. 1t origi-
nally had been planned to include
Clearwater and that may yet be
done, although it now seems likely
that Clearwater will go with Red
Lake, Pennington, Polk, Norman
and Mahnomen, with two represent
tatives. Beltrami and Koochiching
are to have one representative.
Itasca and Cass are to form a sena-
torial district with two representa-
tives while Aitkin and Carlton will
have one representative. Kittson,
Marshall and Roseau are to have
three representatives.

Considerable interest is shown
about the Capitol over a clipping
from the governors Office taken
from the Bagley Clearwater Crystal.
1t is in the nature of a splendid re-
commentator for w. R. Mackenzie
and reads as follows:
"Bemidji is just beginning to re-
alize what that man Mackenzie has
really been to them and Beltrami
county. He has recently rendered
his resignation to the Beltrami coun-
ty Fair Association as their secre-
tary.
It was he who made the associa-
ton and he who has worked night
and day to get some interest in the
county's agricultural possibilities
awaked. 1t was he who made it
possible for the county to make fine
showing at the state fair last year
and he who has given that county
more good advertising than all the
others put together He may oc-
casionally overreach, but they'll
have to go some to find his equal.
There is at least one man in Clear
water county who can thoroughly

thwarted an effort to have the House
visit the state prison at Saltwater on
Friday of this week. This would
have meant that the House would
have to adjourn on Thursday until
next Tuesday, session on Monday
being impossible because it is the
day following Lincoln's birthday,
which falls on Sunday, and Monday
is therefore. legal holiday. The
day to visit the prison has not been
chosen.
In his zealOusness, Lynn Haines,
the noted "war' correspondent, in
his work as the official muckraker of
Minnesota, appears to have more
rake than muck, during the present
session of the legislature. There is
no denying that Lynn's intentions
are the best but some of the dope he
hands out is not always founded en-
tirely on facts, according to Lewis
c. Spooner, representative from Nor
ris, who took occasion to publicly
denounce Mr.. Haines on the floor of
the House. Lynn had accused
Lewis, as chairman of the reappor-
tionment committee, of being to
blame for the bill for the printing
of constitutional amendments. The
white haired gentleman from Morris
was more than peeved at stories
sent out to weekly newspapers by
Lynn and Mr.. Spooner opined, with
a voice always good at opening, that
Mr.. Haines had deliberately, malici-
ously, persistently distorted facts.

1t is hardly likely that State Sup
erintendent of Public Instruction
Schultz will be able to go to Bemidji
to address the teachers at the edu-
cational gathering on Thursday of
this week. He will go if it is pos
sible for him to get away but he is
by no means certain that he can do
so. In any event, some one in his
Office will go to Bemidji to address
the pedagogues.
