VALUABLE NEGRESS
Prize of s1o,o0o Was Offered for Her
 Capture

In the August American Magazine appears an article about Harriet | Tubman, negress, now nearly 100 years old. who escaped from slavery before the Civil War, and with a price on her head guided hundreds of | negroes by the underground Rail road to Canada She vas app iHtrd a scout in the war and draws a pen sion. Following is an extract from | the article:
 No one knows exactly when liar riet Ross was born, but it was on l the eastern shore of Maryland and not much less than a hundred years ago. She knows that her mothers mother was brought in a slaveship from Africa, that her mother was the daughter of a white man, an Ameri- can, and her father a full -blOOded negro.
 | Harriet was not large but she was | very strong. The most strenuous slave labor was demanded of her summer and winter she drove OXcarts she ploughed-With her father she | cut timber and drew heavy logs like a patient mule. About the year 1S44 | she was married to a freedman named Tubman. He proved unworthy and | deserted her She determined to try | and escape from slavery and induced her two brothers to go with her. The three started together, but the brothers soon became frightened and turned back Harriet went on, alone. All through the night she walked and ran-alone. When she reached a place of safety it was
 morning. She says: T looked at my hands to see if I was the same per
 son, now I was free-there was such
 a glory through the trees4 and over
 the fields and I felt like I was in
 heaven!' Not one to enjoy heaven
 alone was that generous heart. Nine
 teen times did she return to the land
 of slavery; and each time brought
 away to Canada groups of men, wo-
 men and children, her parents and brothers among them, about three hundred in all A prize of $40,0OC was offered for her capture but liar
 riet was never caught. She delights
 to recall the fact that on all those
 long and perilous journeys on the 1 Underground Railroad she never lost
 a passenger. Her belief that she was and is sustained and guided by the
 spirit of de Lord-is absolute

Narrow Residence Streets.


Is Bemidji imposing unnecessary
expense on it's property owners and
distiguring it's appearance by fol-
lowing the old custom of broad
streets in the residence section. The
question has already had some inves-
tigation and is worth considering
further.
1t is the opinion of the Pioneer that
investigation will result in a definite
policy of narrow streets with broad
boulevards between the sidewalks
and curbs. On Minnesota avenue
the council has already answered
petition of property owners by es-
tablishing lines for narrow street
with such boulevards. A movement
is now on foot to organize the prop
erty owners into an association
which will take charge of the beau
tifying of the boulevards.
Streets in the residence section
are not called upon to bear as heavy
traffic as streets down town. All the
room that is actually needed is
enough for two !. rigs to pass easily
This can be done with room to spare
on twelve foot roadway. A wider
roadway means unnecessary expense
for grading and upkeep. Should a
street car system eventually come, it
hardly seems fair that the city should
provide a road bed after granting a
valuable franchise: The road bed
could be taken off the boulevards
where necessary.
On Minnesota avenue, the council
has provided for a twenty-four foot
highway. This is much wider than
is actually needed and if the street
should ever be paved, the roadway
should be cut down materially. Six
teen feet is an ample road in resi-
dence district. Twelve feet would
not cause congestion where there is
no traffic to congest, such as on the
cross streets in Bemidji. Twenty
feet should be the outside limit. The
eighteen foot roadway which will be
laid to Nymore will easily carry the
traffic on that busy thoroughfare.
How narrow. roadway actually is
needed has been illustrated by inves-
LEGATIONS at Winona, where some
concrete country roads are to be
built. They had been planned 9TH
erwise, but it was discovered that
where the engineer had estimated
rock for the cost Of hauling, the
property owners demanded six dol
lars cord. This increased the cost
so much that for time the project
was in the air. Then somebody sug-
gested an eight-foot roadway of con-
crete. People said the idea OF road
way SO narrow was absurd. The en-
gineer who had suggested the plan
offered to prove his case, and by
measurements showed that traffic on
the most travelled roads was on a
seven-foot base. So the eight-foot
roadway plan was adopted: There
are to be six inches of concrete, with
gravel surfacing on both sides thin
ming to feather edge. ~.
There is much more traffic on such
a road as this than there is in a resi-
dence street, so it is easy to see that.
a twelve foot roadway is ample.
1t is a clear waste of money to
build street? roadways wider than
they need to be. When the saving
in area offers a chance to create
slightly arrangements of boulevard
ing and tree-planting, the wide road
way sacrifices possibilities of greater
beautv --.".-' za.E"=
