Still in the Public Eye

Under the reapportionment plan
the State of Minnesota is entitled
to another congressman. ]. Adam
Bede, formerly congressman from
this district is being much spoken
of for the place. In conversation
in St. Paul recently Mr.. Bede said:
Should there be sufficient de-
mand, / may make the race. Per-
sonally I am for Tawney and am
willing to do all 1 can to return
him. / believe he can be elected if
he runs at large. He is the strong
est man Minnesota has ever sent to
the house and valuable to the
nation as a member of the appro-
priation committee.
]. Adam Bede voiced his opinion
of the presidents veto of bills re-
Gently put up to him, and likewise
commented upon the reciprocity
treaty.
A close friend of President Taft
and allied with the regulars, y
Mr.. Bede naturally approves the
presidents veto of the wool bill
and the free list. Also, he praises
him for the fight for reciprocity.
Mr.. Bede believes the tariff on
wool should be substantially low
cred, but he wants the report oi
the tariff commission made public
before congress takes action one
way or another.
1t might interest you to know, y
he continued, that there is not
enough wool grown in all the world
to provide one suit year for every
American citizen. I doubt very
much if there is sufficient wool to
make suit of underwear for each
one. So we are not SO greatly in
need of protection on wool imports.
There are other commodities much
more important"
Mr.. Bede is enthusiastic over
reciprocity. The principle is
right, he said. THE treaty is sub
ject to recall, I" he continued. III

Typhoid Fever Cases

Five cases of typhoid fever have
appeared in various parts of the
city. They are all being cared for
at the Shipman Hospital and are as
follows: Mrs. Liza Kangas, Mrs.
A. Nikkanen, Miss Helen Maxi,
Miss Frances Zgonc and Mrs. Louis
Pluth. The board of health do not
attribute the cause of the cases to
the city drinking water but are
taking steps to get at the exact
cause. The state board of health
will probably send a man here to
investigate and test the water
supply for traces of typhoid.

Probably DIR. JackOla

Friends of the missing DR..
Jackola in Duluth and on the
ranges think they have at last
found a c1ew to the missing
physician and it is believed he is in
Finland. The News-Tribune of
Monday had the following to say.
During the last week a prom
inent Duluth attorney was called
to Ely on business and while there
talked with a Finnish woman
named Mrs. Mary Sunnel, formerly
Jokanen, who was acquainted with
DR.. Jackola. Mrs. Sunnel, the
Duluth man says, told him that her
daughter. living in Ashtabula,
Ohio, had just received a letter
from her brother, who had return
ed from trip to Finland, in which
he writes:
While I was in Finland l met a
Duluth physician whom you know
we'll, who left Duluth secretly" F"
Although no names were
mentioned and no description
given, to the minds of both mother
and daughter the only person that
could possibly be"referred to is DR..
Jackola, and according to the Du-
luth attorney they believe that he
has gone back to the scenes of his
childhood. )"

A. w. TAFT, who left here two
weeks ago for trip to the Cashawa
river country to look up another
canoe route for the Duluth & Iron

this city last Sunday. Mr.. TAFT
says the country he visited is what
is known as a paradise, most
beautiful in its unbroken grandeur.
He took numerous pictures on the
trip and will illustrate his write-up.
The new folder of the Duluth &

DIR. ]. H. McClanahan has

hospital on the Island of Korea but
since then these plans have been
changed. DIR. N. A. Buell. arrived

Several publications are being
prepared for the league by the
secretary's Office which will give
uniform information about the
seven states in the league and a
number of maps showing irrigated
districts, dry farming sections,
forests, mountains and also public
lands and tracts available for
settlement. Large quantities OF
these booklets will be distributed
and the inquiries received sent to
the states belonging to the league.
Seven states and Alaska have
accepted the space rendered them
at the Northwest Land Show to be
held in St. Paul.
A week ago word was sent to
the governor of the states advising
that space had been bought by
Minneapolis, ST. Paul and Duluth
business men to be apportioned to
the states in the League. Every
governor has replied that the
space would be accepted and filled
with products.
Among the most interesting ex-
hibits will be that from Alaska,
which will show not only the
mineral, fur and fish products, but
also demonstrate that Alaska is g
good country for gardening and
will produce more wheat and barley
