Cut is Estimated to Save About Three
Cents on Each Pound That
is Purchased.
Is USED IN CLEARING LAND
Reduction Is Expected to Be Big Aid
in Making the Homesteads
Productive. .zsss

~ Some time ago Duluth paper an
nounced that powder company had
evolved a selling plan whereby the
cost of dynamite might be materially
reduced to the settlers to whom it is
big item in the cost of clearing
their land. j. J. Opsahl, as chair
man Of the traffic committee Of the
Commercial club, has just received
telegram from the powder company
stating that the plan applies to Bel
trami county. 80 49,.
The plan provides that the dealer
shall get oruers enough to make a
carload of dynamite, which will be
shipped direct to him from one of the
company's factories, avoiding hand
ling charges at Duluth and less than
carload rates on small shipments. The
farmers will be required to call at
the car for their supply in order to
keep the cost down. The dealer will
accept the farmers notes, without
interest, for six or seven months, and
on the dealer: showing the notes, the
7companyewill extend credit to him on
the dynamite until the money due on
the notes can be collected.
Under the plan it Is figured the dy-
Mantle can be delivered to the farm
ers for approximately 11.6 cents per
pound, whereas the regular retail
price is about IA cents.
In some cases it will be possible to
supply more than one community
with one carload. For two localities,
close together, one car may be ship
ped and one the payment of an ex-
ira charge, a stop-over may be al
lowed for sufficient time to unload
the portion going to, one place, the
car proceeding to its ultimate desti-
nation after the delivery. is made.
Dynamite at low cost is one of the
essentials to the development of
Northeastern Minnesota. The cost
of the explosive is the big item in
clearing and many plans have been
suggested for keeping the cost to the
formers down as low as possible The
plan devised by the powder company
is considered the best yet suggested,
as it not only gives the farmer ex-
plosive at low cost, but provides
means by which he may be carried
through crop period on his note
without interest.
Dynamite runs into about $4,000 a
car, so that the powder company is
tying up considerable money in the
venture, but the sales will be heavy
and the ultimate returns will war
rant the Investment.

carried by small majority. During
the dry year, there has been no ar
rest for any cause. Never did this
occur before in the history of Ten
strike. That there have been no pau
pers, no street brawls, no murders,
are evidences that it is best for a
town to have no saloons. Ten voters

Higher License Needed.

Regarding higher license for sell
ling liquor, wish to say that have
given this question considerable
study, and I find to the best of my
judgment that cities like Bemidji,
and even those of less inhabitants,
have a much higher saloon license,
and their reason for having higher
license is that it is for the best in-s
terest of their city. I recall Deer
River as very marked example of
the virtue of having a higher Ii
cense. That city raised its saloon
license from $500 to $1,000, during
the PUSSY Foot Johnson" agitation,
and one has only to visit Deer River
to see the general all-around clean.

To the Honorable City Council of Be-
midi: -. ..--.-.sz
Gentlemen:- AS it is the custom
and I believe the duty of the mayor
to offer any suggestions to the coun-
Gil that he thinks will aid in better
ing conditions or is necessary to i'm
mediate needs, I take it as a pleas
ure and a duty at this time to offer
the following suggestions IS.
First, and the most important of
all in my estima tion, is that be- city
officials of Bemidji should and must
forget everything in the way of per-
sonal interests or differences-when
in the council room and unite solidly
in any action that will further our
development. ~
Whatever may have been the fea-
lures of attraction in Bemidji in
former days are not necessarily the
features of attraction today. It is
we'll to consider the past and profit
by past experiences but the all i'm
portant issue is what will be good
for Bemidji today and in the future.
Liquor Problem.
I shall like to call your attention
to the liquor problem that has been
so frequently spoken of during the
last months. My aim as mayor is to
do all that I can in regulating the
sale Of intoxicating liquor and have
it regulated strictly in accordance
with the existing laws both of the
state and Of our city charter.
AS for gambling, I believe it pos
sible to abolish that practice to such
an extent that there will be no
abuses coming from it, at least in a
public way, and should there be any
thing of that nature going on in the
future it will be under cover from
the police officials and myself for ]
will have instructed the chief of po-
lice to carry out my orders as out
lined above. Ee55.essss. Ee5ss ? s.

seem to some like idle talk but when
once you have considered what 9th

along these lines, it will cause any
one that is at all interested in fu-
ture for Bemidji to take notice.
With proper procedure believe it
is possible for us to land street car

add to the value of our adjoining
lands and encourage industries to
come to us, saying nothing about the

Children Must Play.
One of the greatest problems and
one from which no city is exempt is
that of the younger generation. I
wish that we might view the things
that we may be able to do for the
youth and children of our city as a
privilege rather than an urgent nee
essity. It is as natural for child
to play as it is for kitten to play.
and if we do not afford amusements
of nature that will elevate and de-
velope a good character in our young
people, we must expect that amuse-
ments of an Objectionable character
will be indulged in.
