The Beltrami board of county
commissioners, at special meeting
this afternoon, named him on the

be refused. 1t was seconded by
Clementson.
In discussing this motion, Commits
sioner Rako said: .r-:... ...,-.. =

it, 1 would not want a body of this
kind to keep me from doing so."
Resignation is Accepted.
The Fellows motion was lost, three
to two, Myhre, Peterson and Rako
voting in the negative.
Commissioner Myhre then moved
that the Funkley resignation be ac-
cepted, and it was seconded by Rako
and was sustained by vote of three
to two, the same commissioners who
voted against the Fellows motion,
voting in favor of the Myhre motion.
Applications for the position thus
made vacant were then opened from

"sEE COLORADO"
Prominent Hotel Man Heads Move
for Bureau That Will Interest
Tourists in State

"See Colorado First is q motto
that Is being exemplified In q most
effective manner by William Paget,
manager Of the Albany hotel In Dem
yer, and formerly proprietor of the
Columbian hotel In this city. This
prime booster is taking the initiative
in move to establish bureau Of in
formation concerning Colorado, for
the benefit of tourists. The name Of
the organization has not been select
ed but its purpose will be to cooper
ate with the Hotel Mems association
and the commercial organizations Of
the country in inducing tourists to
see all of Colorado while they are In
the district.
"Far too many OF our visitors"
said Mr.. Paget recently, ''make only
a flying visit to Denver and then
leave for Salt Lake City or some
other point out Of the state. For
their own pleasure and profit rs well,
they should be furnished with more
detailed Information concerning the
Centennial state"
Mr.. Paget recently delivered an adj
dress along this line to the members
OF the Chamber of Commerce at
Fort Collins. "How many Of those
present." he said, shave heard Of
Steamboat Springs?'' Instantly
every hand was raised. NOW, how
many present can tell of some of the
attractions that Steamboat Springs
has for pleasure seekers, or the inves-
tor?'' No hands were raised. "How
many here" Paget continued, 'have
heard of the prettiest natural resort
in Colorado, the Stonewall valley7"
Only few had ever heard Of LAS
Animas county's scenic resort In
this manner, Paget il emphasizing
the need Of instructing the visitor
about all Of Colorado. The plan has
met the hearty approval Of the hotel
men, the commercial bodies and the
real estate men OF the state, and Its
scope is likely to be extended to
eastern points. A secretary of the
organization may be located In Chi
cago. Not only the Albany hotel,
but all of Denver and the entire
state would profit by such q method
of publicity and education. Paget Is

why the Quack Prospers


A quack and doctor of great learn
ing once fell into conversation. says a
writer in the Washington Herald. The
regular doctor said to the other, "iIOw
is that you, without education, skill, or
the least knowledge of medicine, are
able to live In the style you do? You
have your town house, your carriage,
your motor car and your country house,
while can little more than pick up a
bare subsistencey"
The quack, so the story goes, laughed
good naturally.
':.LOOk here" he said, ''how many
people do you think have passed us on
this street here since you asked that
question:"
"well," said the other. ''about one
hundred"
"And out of that hundred how many
do you think possess good common
sense?"
"Possibly one. was the reply.
"Well," said the quack, that one
comes to you and take care OF the
ninety-nine."

MAGNIFICENT GIFTS FOR
CATHOuC HOME MISSIONS
OVER ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS FOR THE CATHOLIC
CHURCH EXTENSION So
GETTY RECEIVED IN
ONE DAY.
Ninety Thousand Dollars for a Mis-
sionary College and Seminary
One Donor Pays for Twenty
Five Mission ChapeIs.

News has been received of two very
remarkable gifts made to the Catholic
Church Extension Society of the
United States. Both were received on
the same day, Saturday, February Is.
One of the gifts consists of 100000 in
gold bonds, which is intended to be
the nucleus for a missionary college
and seminary to be established later
on for the purpose of educating priests
for the poor dioceses and missions of
the United States. The bonds have
been placed in the society's educational
fund Two or three more similar gifts
would justify the society in establish
ing this very necessary adjunct to it's
missionary work. The name of the
donor has not been made public. The
only information that has been given
out is that the donation came from the
West.
Almost Immediately after the re-
ceipt of the first donation, the society
received telegram from a lady living
in the Central West, asking the priv
ilege of building the twenty-five
chapels referred to in the report of
the General Secretary of the Society,
published in the March number of Elk
tension Magazine. In publishing the
report of the General Secretary, the
President suggested that one person
might have the privilege of building
the entire twenty-five chapels in the
Diocese of Baker City at a. cost of
$12,500 to the donor, the people, of
course, to make up the rest.
These two donations are the most
remarkable yet received by the society,
and the officers say that Saturday,
February Is, 1911, is their red letter
day up to the present time.

GOV. Wesley OF SOUTH DAKOTA
AND THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.

Governor Vessey's message to the
Legislature of South Dakota had this
to say about the liquor traffic:
MANY wise men of both the past
and present have contended that the
saloon cannot be abolished and it
should therefore be licensed, made as
respectable as possible and thus mini
mize the evils attendant upon it. 1
am not only persuaded that such
policy is unwise, but am absolutely
convinced that the respectable saloon
is very much more dangerous to the
average young man than is the squalid
booze joint.
II believe that the liquor traffic is in
reality the highest tax that is being
paid by the common people of today,
and that 1t Is the heaviest drain upon
their resources. Ii this is a fact, it is
your duty to legislate in the interests
of the people, and not i'm the interests
of the men who are i'm the business
for profit or money consideration
