The Roosevelt Petitions.

The suggestion has been made that
the Roosevelt men will have trouble
getting their presidential electors on
the ballot. The petitions may not be
circulated until after the primary
election, and they will have to be
filed by October 5. 1t has also
been suggested that no voter who
votes at the primary election may
sign the petitions.
Section 215 of the Revised Laws
provides mo person who has voted
at primary election shall be eligible
as petitioner for any nomination to
any office for which nominees were
voted upon at such primary AS
nominees for presidential elector will
not be voted upon at the primary, it
is likely that any voter may sign the
Roosevelt petitions, regardless of
whether he voted at the primary.
AS no more than one nomination
may be made by any one petition,
twelve separate petitions will be nee
essary to nominate the Roosevelt
electors. 1t will be possible for each
signer to sign all twelve petitions,
although better progress could prob
ably be made by spreading the petit
tions. Each petition will require at
least 1900 signatures. -Duluth Her.

of making more easy the settlement
of the great tracts of fertile land in
which the state is rich.
1t is not enough that the presence
and availability of these lands should
be brought to the attention of men
with money enough to invest in
tracts, either for later sale or for the
purpose of renting them to tenants
who may work the soil. That is not
the kind of ownership of land that
Minnesota wants, or that any state
will find desirable. The evils of ex-
tended tenantry have been set out
forcibly on more than one occasion.
What Minnesota wants is to have
her acres come into the possession of
men who will live on them and cul-
tivate them, not for the purpose of
present enrichment of themselves,
but with a view to the future of
their children and their children S
children.
But the kind of men who will do
this do not have the money to buy
uncleared land and then spend still
more in getting it into shape for Gull
tivation. In many cases the settler
must make serious inroads on his
savings to live while he is laboriously
clearing the place Of timber and
stumps and brush.
How to meet this phase of the
problem is one of the first things the
state must decide, and to this end a
suggestion worth considering is made
by the Warroad Pioneer. 1t is that
the state provide a scheme for tinanc-
ing the clearing Of land taken by set
tiers, the cost to be repaid to the
state in installments by the holders
of the land, and title to the property
to be put in trust with the state
until the obligation is met. For
the actual raising of the money the
Pioneer would have the state sell
bonds, and it says: 'There is every
reason to believe that these bonds
would sell at about 81 per cent,
which would leave the state ~ per
cent to pay the expenses. " To
quote again: GAS the owner would
risk his equity in the farm against
the cost of the clearing, the chance
of the state having to take any Of
the land is very small. "-Duluth
Herald.

that the farmers of.Mille Laos county

no apparent reason why the aim OF

His Faithful Old Dog.

Charles Mcclellan was on Saturday
evening found dead in his home by
his aunt, Mrs. Fannie Heath, and
her daughter, Minnie. 1t was Char
ley's custom to go to his aunt's for
his laundry every Saturday evening
and, as he failed to arrive upon this
occasion, Mrs. Heath and daughter
thought it best to see whether any
thing had happened to him, as he
Was subject to attacks of epilepsy.
Upon reaching his home, where he
lived with an old dog as his sole COM
panion, they found his lifeless body
lying across the wood box with his
faithful dog keeping guard. 1t was
about $50 O'Clock. Mrs. Heath i'm
mediately notified DR.. Cooney, who
FASTENED to the place and pronounced
the primary cause of death to be cpl
lepsy. 1t is supposed that he was
reaching for a piece of wood to place
in the stove when he was attacked
with the epileptic fit and fell upon
the box, his neck and head striking
one edge of it. Sheriff Shockley was
summoned and he, in turn, notified
Coroner Bacon, who arrived the fol-
lowing morning but deemed no in
quest necessary. The remains were
on Sunday removed to Ross under
taking establishment and relatives
of the unfortunate man living at
distance notified by wire.
Funeral services we're conducted by
Rev. J. 0. Fisher on Monday after
noon at the residence of Mrs. Fannie
Heath and a quartet consisting of
Miss Christine Wicen, Mrs. L. S.
Briggs, A. Roos and Guy Ewing

Charles Harmon as the organist.
The interment was in Oak Knoll
cemetery. Mr.. and Mrs. G. S.

tended the obsequies. Mrs. Wheaton
and Mrs. Hall are sisters of the de-
ceased.
Charles Mcclellan was born at
BrOWnville, Maine, on August %,
1919, and came to this part of the
country with his parents in 1866. In
his younger days he was employed as
a timber cruiser in the northern
woods and in like capacity in Ore
gon. He also drove logs on the Rum
river when this part of the country
was not much more than wilder
ness. He is survived by three BROTH
ers and two sisters, viz, Fred of

Saltwater.
Charley Mcclellan was a quiet, in
offensive man who interfered with no
one. He and his old dog companion
pursued the even tenor of their way,
lived together in peacefulness and
cared nothing for the ways of the
world. Charley had suffered from
epileptic fits for several years and of
late they became more frequent. 1t
is perhaps better that death relieved
him of his sufferings. Deceased

having his separator burned on last
Sunday while at work on the Ball

fire was caused from an explosion of

machine and caused no material loss

eight sacks that we're at all damaged.

has paid for itself many times over
so Dan does not feel that he has been
seriously injured by it's loss. An
other machine was gotten as soon as
possible and the crew is busy as usual.
Troubles never seem to come singly.

NOW FOR TRECOUN-
TY'FA|R AT CONDON
Attend The Booster Meet
ing Tomorrow Night and
Get in Line.

There will be a meeting Of the
Booster Club at the council cham
bers tomorrow evening. The
main OBJECT of this meeting is to
get the business interests Of the
county lined up and arrange for
a good attendance of our citizens
at the Tri-County Fair which be-
gins at Condor on the 18th.
We must be represented there,
and in large numbers. Our coun-
to is to have a good exhibit and
it is up to us to show the neigh
bors to our left that we appreciate
what they are doing in their ef-
forts to give publicity to the re-
sources of our section.
Be on hand and encourage your
next door neighbor to attend this
meeting. The Boost Club can do
effective work when they try.
AS evidence of this, it is only
necessary to refer to the action
taken at last meeting with refer
ence to better train service on
the branch. We now have the
promise Of the railroad company
that there is to be no more delay
in getting trains up the branch;
there will be no more long stops
for throwing off way freight,
and when you leave the Junction
for points up the line you can ex-
pect to come through on schedule
time, and other Improvements
in the service are promised.
These are things that we have
wanted for long time. A spec
ial passenger service will yet be
put on, and there can be other
Improvements brought about.
Attend the meetings and be a
party to helping along these
things.
