What is there in the vale of life
Half SO delightful as a wife?
When love and friendship both

Stamps the marriage bond divine,

Fires which have been burning
near Puposky, IL miles north of Be.

and has a boat load of goods out in

At 2 p. m. Mr.. Smyth told of the
fire over the telephone.
Books and such articles of value as
could be carried were being taken to
the water front as there was no hope
of the buildings being saved.
Trunks were buried in the ground
and families were hurried toward the
lake. s
The smoke was so thick that the
buildings of the town could not be
seen from the depot. ~. ~

GIVES ADVICE ON FARM SCHOOL
Thinks Larson Tract Best But De-
clares It is Too Far From High
School Building.

More than so per cent of the grass
seeds given by the state to the resi-
dents of districts injured by the
forest fires of last fall has been plant
ed properly and by persons entitled
to the seed, according to Thomas
Cooper of the Minnesota agricultural
school who has just completed an in
spection tour.
Mr.. Cooper's last work, before re-
turning to St. Paul via Duluth where
he will locate the new agricultural
school, was in Bemidji coming here
from ABa,ldette and spooner where
he found that with few exceptions
the seed had been given out to good
advantage and planted as outlined
by the state .t>...:; +
Ii "At no place have L found any
foundation for the report that graft
had worked into the free seed distri-

irregularity of any kind that l have
found was couple Of cases where
lumberjacks had passed as settlers,
obtained the seed and then traded. it
for whiskey. -,-.. .>~'
Seed Nearly All Gone f.
ON my report to Dean Wood am
prepared to say that SO per cent of
all the seed sent north for distri-
button has been sent out and for the
most part is being handled by the
settlers as we have recommended.
In Roseau and Koochiching much
of the seed has been planted but in

ten times as much seed is being
PLANTED as ever before. The see1
is sufficient to SOW more than
| 5000 acres of land and it means
that more grass is to be grown here
than has heretofore been the case.'
Coincident with Mr. Cooper's
visit to Bemidji comes the annonce-
ment that the state has practically
| decided to establish a demonstration
farm in Bemidji on the Anderson
farm. Work of putting the place
Unto shape for the demonstration
purposes is now expected to go for

visited the place and after confer

Another important feature of Mr..
Cooper's visit, was hisinspection with

sites here under consideration on
which to establish the farm to be
operated in connection with the
agricultural school recently awarded

board.

ARGENTINE PRESENTS
VAST POSSIBILITIES

NEW YORK, Oct. 1I.-There are
vast possibilities for American manufac-
turers and exporters to increase bus
mess with the Argentine Republic,
and this can best be accomplished by
readjusting the beef tariff and sub
sidizing a merchant marine. was an
opinion expressed yesterday at the first
Argentine trade conference held in this
city.
About $50 manufacturers and ex-
porters attended and heard addresses
by John Barrett. director general OF
the Pan-American union; Consul Gen
eral Carlos Galarce. of Argentine, and
others.
1t was contended that by reciprocity
the United States could secure a good
share of Argentine trade-nine-tenths
of which is now controlled by Ger
many and England.
Similar conferences Will be held in

GAINESVILLE BANK BUYS
$4,000 CITY BOND ISSUE

GAINESVILLE, Ca, Oct IA few
months ago the citizens OF GAINESVILLE
by unanimous vote authorized an issue
OF bonds OF 5000 for the purpose OF
building a S35.0o0 addition 10 Gordon. in
stitute. extending the sewerage system
and enlarging the electric light and
water plant
These bonds were recently offered for
sale in the open market and the bids
received were at such handsome premi-
ums that our city feels proud of the
standing she has in the financial world,
as nothing more directly shows this than
the basis upon which her bonds are re-
ceived by those seeking investments.
But the most attractive feature OF this
bond sale is the fact that the highest
bid was by a local bank. The Citizens
bank OF GAINESVILLE takes the entire issue
OF $4,000 at a handsome premium. This,
as far as we know. is the only instance
in which a small city has been able to
place a bond issue with its own banks
and it should be unmistakable evidence
OF the substantial growth and fright fu-
ture OF GAINESVILLE as well as the strong
financial condition OF her banks.
To the surprise OF those who voted
against him, ]. c. Collier Is making, a
fine record as mayor. Whisky dives and
law breakers OF every type are on the
run, to the delight OF the law-abidins
citizens OF the city. He is warning all
offenders that their second appearance
before him viii mean punishment to the
extent of the law.

The way the cotton producers Of

viii be as large as many have pre-
dicted IL viii be. A great deal can
happen between now and the time the
crop IS harvested.
1T Is a pity that cotton should be
selling in the country for nine cents a

CANAL WORK DELAYED
BY CHANGING EARTH

NEW ORLEANS. La, Oct. n.-An ofii-
cial statement OF changing earth forma-
tions around the east wall of the Gatun
dam, Panama canal zone, has been is
sued, according TO mail advices received
here from Colon last night and tells OF
delays to work in connection with the ca
nal The official organ OF the canal COM
mission is quoted:
Part OF the earth bank behind the
east wall of the lower lock at Gatun
sank September q, and rose a few feet
away. The movement was apparently
caused by the rock Ill which carried
the tracks on which the galloway towers
run, and only a few hours before the
sinking occurred one OF the towers was
on the section which fell. A similar sink
ing was noted a week previous on the
west side Of the locks. These movements
began about a year ago.
"The most serious consequences has
been that it has caused four months
delay in the completion of the cof1er-
dam across the lower end OF the locks
1t is said the engineers do not regard
the matter with any degree of serious
ness
