TRAVELS FAR TO MARRY
Young Girl Journeys From Germany
To Bemidji to Wed Sweetheart
of Her Childhood.
MAKE THEIR HOME AT FOWLDS

Ida Zittlan is expected in Bemidji
from Germany before seven o'clock
tonight. Word to that effect was re-
ceived this morning from government
immigration officials who are seeing
that she reaches her destination
safely. Fraulein Zittlan, who is but
twenty-three, was wooed and won in
the old country by Karl Gluck. Fail
ing to win the approval of the fair
lady's family, Karl came to America
to seek his fortune He located near
Fowlds on cut-over land and it was a
big day when he could send for his
Ida.
Suspicioning that perhaps Frau
lein Zittlan would become victim
of the white slave traffic over here,
the federal authorities insisted that
G. G. Winter, who had been conduct
ing Karls steamship correspondence
for him, should swear that there
would be legal marriage as soon as
the girl arrived here. This Mr.. Win
ter did, even going so far as to pledge
to marry her himself if Mr.. Gluck
| changed his mind.
1t has been over two years since
Karl left the old country but his
heart is true and he proved it by TAX
ing out marriage license. He was ex-
pected from Fowlds today, but word
did not reach him until too late to
catch the Red Lake train and he may
not get. to Bemidji until tomorrow.
But Mr.. Winter says that Fraulein
Zittlan will become Frau Kluck as
soon as both arrive in Bemidji.

Petitions Must Be Filed, Contracts
Let and Bonds Sold Before Be-
ginning Construction.
DULUTH TO ST. VINCENT FIRST
Outlook at Present is That This High
way Will Be Commenced Before
Any Others.

! Actual construction work on the
new Beltrami county roads and state
highways running through this coun-
ty will begin early next spring, &C.
cording to a statement made this
morning by Charles Forbes, engineer
for the state highway commission.
Mr.. Forbes stopped here between
trains coming from the north.
The present state tax gives the
highway commission 100000 a year
with which TO work, but as this mon
ey has already been divided between
the counties, there are no available
funds for work this year. If the
Dunn amendment is passed this fall.
the state will have $1.eOO,OOO each
year available for good roads.
Under the Elwell law, the state
pays half of the cost of the road, the
county one-fourth and the benefited
property owners one-fourth. This
expense is primarily stood by the
county which issues bonds for the
amount of the road contract. The
county then collects from the state.
and the land owners These bonds
run for ten years, so that in a ten
year period under present laws, S.
100000 can be expended for good
roads in Minnesota. Of this amount,
the state would pay 100000, the
counties 100000 and the prop
erty owners 100000. If the Dunn
amendment is passed, these figures
will be quadrupled.
AS it is too late in the season to
start construction this year, the
county officials are taking all the pre-
paratory steps now so that by the
time next spring is here, everything
will be ready for the actual work.
The preliminary work includes the
estimates, viewers, letting of con-
tracts, selling of bonds, etc. The
work will probably be. divided into
stretches of not less than ten miles
of road and bids asked for on that
basis.
Petitions for the Duluth-St. Vim
cent road have been filed in every
county through which it will pass.
and it is probabl that it will be the
first state highway built. Petitions
for the twin city-International road
are being circulated now and will
probably be filed within few weeks.
While in Roseau county, MI. For
bes estimated the cost ora road and
divided the cost among the property
owners benefited in order that they
might have some idea of how much
the road would cost them. Mr.. For
hes found that the cost to the farm
ers would be fifteen mills per acre
per year for ten years. The road es-
timated would cost, about $4,000,
payable $4,000 per year, to build and
$1,000 acres were benefited.

ACT ON FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Old Adaae That "He Who Hesltates
Is Lost" Is Whole Bundle
of Truth.

In a letter to friend at great
moral crisis in his life Darwin ex'
pressed an observation which Is con-
firmed by general experience. The
action which had suggested itself TO
him when he first faced the crisis he
had condemned as dishonorable. On
further consideration. when he was
sorely tempted to proceed, he told his
friend of the struggle he was having,
but added, First impressions are gen.
orally right" and he proposed to stand
by his first impression that the course
In view would be dishonorable.
When a moral question involving
difficulties is put up to person his
first impression is on the merits oil
the question, without reference to the
difficulties of the course. Later the
difficulties begin to loom up, and eau
tion is apt to get the better of the
doubter.
Reflection on a matter Of disagree
able duty often paralyzes action. The
adage, He who hesitates is lost" EN-
bodies store of wisdom.
