At the sale on Friday in Bemidji,

son brought cash payments of $500
which is fifty per cent of the ap-
praised valuation of the wood sold.'
A. E. Wittig, the Blackjack 1um-

All the timber sold in Beltrami

The state sells the timber at this

summer. The trees were badly
scorched and in order to save them
they must be logged without delay
before worms infest or deteriora-

The purchasers agree to cut the
trees as soon as practicable and prob
ably all of the timber sold in Be-

"skY PILOT" IN ST. PAUL
F. E. Higgins Felt Himself Called
Upon to Aid Lumber Jacks.

! In yesterdays St. Paul Pioneer
Press that papaer has the following
to say regarding F. E. Higgins the
Bemidji sky pilot
! One glance at Mr.. Higgins is
enough to convince one that he is
just the kind of a man for the life
work he has undertaken He is
short but of a decidedly sturdy build
His complexion is rudy. His man
ner of speaking and general appear
ance are such that he seems equally
at homein the pulpit or out rough
| ing it in the midst of the timbermen
of Northern Minnesota, as he is pic
tured in several stereopticon views
with which he illustrated his lee
ture yesterday.
Mr.. Higgins told how he was rear
ed among forests of Canada and how
he came to Minnesota twenty years
ago and took up gospel work in a
small Methodist church. He made a
plea for funds with which to pay
the missionaries, and said he always
would receive mail addressed to him
in care Of the Duluth Y. M. c. A.,
wherever he happened to be.
Mr. Higgins told how he came to
take up the mission of preaching
the gospel to lumberjacks. While
in charge of his first regular postor-
age, a small Presbyterian church at
Bemidji, Mimi, he was frequently
asked to address gatherings of lum-
bermen in the camps near the town.
After a time he found himself
preaching to lumberjacks six days
of the week and occupying his regu-
lar pulpit on Sunday. He felt him
self called upon to preach the doc
trine of Christ to the rough men of
the woods and accordingly resigned
his pulpit and became a lumberiack
missionary.
Hell is to pay when whiskey
comes into a lumber camp. One
quart of whiskey is enough to start
a general fight. Once I tried to stop
a fight in a camp. Two men by the
names of O'Hare and Kenny were at
it. O'Hare was getting the best of
Kenny. 1 grabbed O'Hare and pull
ed him away. This gave Kenny a
chance to come back at him. The
next instant I found myself lying
among some tin cans at one end of
the camp. l picked myself up,
dazed, and said, Who struck Hig-
gins?' I did said a burly Irishman,
and I want to tell you that apreach-
er must know his place. The next
time you see fight, you find the
highest bunk and stay there until it
is over You are right said, and
I have followed his advice ever since

ANOTHER TEST VOTE TODAY
Resolution Limiting Size of Legisla-

ternoon.
(By z. a. Wuson)

6eW2oU E1oneef Legislative Bureau
st. Paul, January 31.-Clear above
the rabble which strives to blight
the hope of Northern Minnesota for
more just representation in the
state legislature, rings the clarion
voice of Lieutenant Governor Cor
don, Offering cheer to the faint
hearted.
''The senate will pass a reappor-
| tionment bill, one that will be a
credit to that body and one upon
which no honest senator will look
with misgivings.
IF there has been any effort on
the part of the brewers to stide this
legislation, l have not heard of it
but if such is the case, then We have
a new and important reason for pass
ing such bill"
Governor Eberhart maintains his
attitude of confidence and reiter-
ates his determination to assemble
the legislature in extraordinary ses-
sion if, for any reason, the bill
should be held up. Speaker Dunn
expresses the belief that there can
be no question as to the measure
being passed in the House. --=,--.
w. R. Mackenzie Of Bemidji, who,
as secretary of the Northern Mime
sofa Development Association, is
making the fight for reapportion-
ment personal one, has this to say:
''The outlook for fair and reason
able reapportionment is bright at
this time. The disposition of men,
bers of both the senate and the
house so far as I can determine
would indicate the passage of any
bill which the reapportionment COM
mittees of both houses may agree
upon"
Another test vote on reapportion-
ment will be made in the senate to-
day and it's result may mean much.
It will come when the resolution
which provides that the senate and
house shall continue at its present
size is brought up to a vote. This
is the resolution which was voted
down last week when an effort was
made to pass it under a suspension
of the rules. It now comes up as a
regular order of business. The SEN
ate today also will vote on the eligi-
bility of Senator Amman of Torah to
retain his seat, the question of his
citizenship having been raised. It
is safe to predict that the senate will
( keep him in his seat.
