THE JOURNAL AND THE NORTH.

A glorious sunrise, giving promise
of day of wonderful transform
ations, is near at hand for the North
ern Minnesota when the press of the
state will devote it's editorial column
to such words as these, taken from
the Minneapolis Journal:
"Northern Minnesota was design
ed to furnish Fairgrounds for the
Nation. A finer region for summer
outings never was devised by Nature
than the woods and waters of the
upper. half of this State. Lakes of
surpassing beauty and i, surprising
variety are so numerous that many
of them lack for names. Water
courses practicable for canoes and
even for larger craft connect many
of them, while, rivers running bank
full take off their surplus waters to

A RAKE OPPORTUNITY.

Conventions that bring delegates
in special trains and are big enough
to attract such men as James A.
Tawney and Lafayette Young, both
of national reputation. do not come
to every town. The gathering of
the Minnesota bankers here next
week will be the most notable event
in Bemidji for many many moons.
1t, therefore, is apparent that Be-
midi should Improve the opportuni-
ty to put her best foot forward and
don her brightest gown. By all
means decorate as elaborately as
possible and let us do everything
else that can be done to convince the
distinguished visitors, to be num-
bered by the hundreds, that Bemidji
deserves the reputation of being a
city of Boosters.

letters. may be called the feat of pol
soning by sleight of hand. You were
jealous of lady. and you wished to
kill her. Well. you asked her to lunch.
and you caused very nice peach to
be served. at dessert You cut the
fruit with a golden knife. one side of
the blade of which was endued with a
deadly poison. You presented the poi
soned half of the peach to the lady,
who ate it with much relish and then
dropped down dead. The wholesome
half you ate yourself and laughed in
your sleeve and went on slicing more
peaches for the ladies of whom you
were jealous till you were found out
and broken on the wheel. Aye. there's
the rub! What high old times we
might have. to be sure. but for that
plaguy contingency of being found

FOR A SAFE AND SANE FOURTH.

There are other reasons than the
mere fact that Bemidji is wide-
awake, progressive little city, why
she may we'll decide upon a proper
observance of July 4.
One is that since 1903 there have
been 1852 persons lose their lives
and $500 persons because of cri-
minally reckless celebrations of In

Nothing would be nicer than for
Bemidji to decide to celebrate, but
to celebrate in such way as not to
jeoardise the lives of children or to
endanger property, something
along the order of the celebrations
in St. Paul and Minneapolis where
the grown ups get keen pleasure
out of the event by joining together
to give the youngsters a happy, but
harmless Fourth, together with other
appropriate exercises would be en-

Northern Minnesota is the favored

picturesque delights to be caught by

the joys of primitive lifea in camp,
Northern Minnesota is a region of

"Why, then, do the attractions of
Northern Minnesota remain untested
and untasted of men? Largely be-
cause we of Minnesota make such a
secret of them. Instead of publish
ing to the world the facts, we say
nothing, and many of us even go
elsewhere for outings less enjoy
able, while there are more available
and less expensive ones at our doors.
'This of course, is only one side
of the question of State development,
but it is a highly important one.
And in considering it, as in con-
sidering any other phase of the ques-
tion, we come up invaribly against
the obstacle of inaccessibility. The
lack of good roads interferes al
most as much with the DEVELOPMENT
OF Northern Minnesota as a pleasure
region, as it does with it's develop
menI agriculturally.
ut would pay this state as a
whole to help on the development
of it's Northern half. It would pav
all Minnesota to push the penetrat-
ion OF the region with gradually ex-
panding system of good roads. The
enlarged markets for all sorts of
products within the State that
would result from the exploitation
and peopling of this great region
would give an impetus to agricult-
ure and trade that would be felt to
the uttermost corners and in the
smallest hamlets of the State.
I'VE of Minnesota need to get
broader vision, to see beyond petty
local interests, to get into the great
game of life as State, to become
a commonwealth of united and CO.
operative interests instead of a mere
congeries of selfish communities.

Sleep and Dreams.

The brain is more active while en-
gagged in dreaming than when not thus
engaged. The only perfect sleep is
that which is dreamless. The moment
the sleeper begins to dream he begins
to work. and the more vivid and pro-
tracted the dream. the more intense.
naturally. becomes the work. 1t is
possible that at no time during the
waking hours of life Is the brain so
active as 1t is in the strange business
Of dreaming. -
