My Dear Mr.. Burke:


The call our Minneapolis people
made on the good people of ,Bemidji
last, June has been a pleasant mem
ory.I You. will Srecan you very gra-
ciously presented me with. two fine
potatoes. I brought them home and
put one. in a glass jar in alcohol
the other cut into pieces and plant
ed June %. The crop fro. mthat
one was twenty-five potatoes, part of
which were baked for last Sundays
dinner and balance cooked in cream
for last night'sadinner. : The taste of
the new potatoes was as delightful
as the memory Of your kindness has
been pleasant 8
I hope everything about Bemidji
will be as productive as this one.po-
tato was and that the measure of
your future prosperity may be as
twenty-five to one. 81

On the eve of the 1912 general
election, predictions from all over
the country point to the election of
Woodrow Wilson as the next tpresi-
dent of the United States Many be-
liefe that the election will go to the
house but point cut that the house
is Democratic now and probably will
remain so.
aG Two tables were issued by the New
York Sun today. The first is based
on a conservative estimate of the
Wilson strength and gives the New
Jersey governor 800, Taft 146, and
Roosevelt 49, Minnesota's twelve
are. put in the Taft column in this
table. The second table is based on
the most optimistic forecasts Of the
Democrats and gives Wilson 355,
Taft 1876 and Roosevelt 40 Mime
sofa is also placed in the Taft col
umn in this table. -..-2}t - i
Men who have returned from the
twin cities within past day or two
say that it is mistake to put Min
nesota in the Taft column. They say
that it will go for Wilson by a big
vote. At the theatres in Minneapo-
lis the. people have been showing
their political drift by ,applauding
for their candidate as the pictures
are thrown on the screen. It is said
that Wilson is the popular candidate.
Straw votes taken in Beltrami
county, especially the city of eBemid
il, Blackjack; and several. outlying
towns give Wilson treble plurality
over either Roosevelt or Taft, and
clean majority of all votes cast. 1t
is said that Wilson is especially
strong with the farmers who have
not forgotten the reciprocity agree
ment, Ballinger incident and other
errors of the Republican party and
who believe third party is unnec-
essary.. a.. gts. .a ggr5~ -

KILLED BY Lighting
Land Seeker Meets Death While
Camping on Twitchell Ranch
South Of Missouri River

The body OF a man named Steve
Morris was brought into Glasgow
Tuesday morning from the Twitch-
ell ranch, south OF the Missouri
river. The man, with his partner.
]. H. Nev,l, were on their way
from Alva, Wyo.. to Canada,
where they intended taking land
and had stopped off at the Twitch-
ell ranch for the night. About
seven-thirty Sunday evening, a
sharp electrical storm came up,
which threatened to destroy their
tepee tent, and Morris endeavored
to steady the center pole, while
Nevil held down the flaps OF the
tent. A bolt of lightning struck in
that vicinity and followed the pole
to the ground, killing Morris in
stantly, and knocking his compan-
ion senseless. Several hours later
Nevil came to, and found his part
ner dead, and he started at once
for the Twitchell ranch house to
get assistance. He aroused Mr..
Twitchell about two a. M, and to-
gether they returned and took care
Of the body, and as soon as they
could, started for town, with the
remains, and the mems travelling
outfit.
When they arrived in town the
bo5y was turned over to Under
taker Peterson to be embalmed
and made ready for shipment. The
surviving partner, MIR. Nevil, dis.
posed of their outfit to Hall &
McGregor, so as to secure means
to ship the body back TO their home
in Wyoming. On examination II
was found that the bolt OF light
ning struck Morris on the left SIDE
OF the head, burning most OF In:
hair off, and then passed down IN:
neck across his breast, down hl:
right side and through his foot
making a hole in his foot that yol
could stick finger through. Mr.

day night on No. 3, to accompan,

NATIONAL FOREST
Nearly 77S,eoo Acres Will Be OPP
ened for Settlement In the
Near Future

President Taft has just made
considerable changes in National
Forests IN Montana, Arizona,
Nevada, Utah, and California thru
Presidential proclamations modify
ing the boundary lines. BY these
changes nearly PTS. 900 acres Of
land are eliminated from the For
ests, abou. IS, 900 acres are added
and about S., 900 acres are trans
ferred between two Forests, while
new Forest is created by the di-
vision of an old unit into two.
The net result is to bring down
the total gross area OF the Nation
al Forests to about I87,4oo, 900
acres, OF which nearly 27, 900. 900
acres are in Alaska. To a consid
erable extent, however, the reduc-
tons, so far as land actually
owned by the Government Is con-
cerned, are apparent rather than
real, owing to heavy alterations in
the tracts eliminated, Some AZ,
600, 900 acres of the National For
est gross area are not owned by
the Government.
The high water mark of the TO-
tai National Forest gross area was
reached in 1909. when the Forest
boundaries included over I94, 600.
900 acres. Ii was then realized,
however, that in making the ex-
aminStions on which the President
ial proclamations creating the For
ests were based the work had been
too rapid to insure in all cases the
bes, boundaries. Sometimes land
which should have been included
was left out. while al other times
land was taken In that was moi
best suited to Forest purposes.
| Consequently complete over
hauling and rectifcation OF tho
Forest boundaries was planned
ani mas been going on ever since
l5v successive proc.amalions Presi
dent Taft has eliminated nearly H.
ooo, 900 acres. while he has addec
about 4, 600, 600 acres.
| In Montana the new proclaim
alton eliminate total OF no, 37t
acres from SIX Forests-the Custer
Absaroka, Blackfeet, Kootenai
Lewis and Clark, and Flathead-
while IL, 64o acres are transferred
from the Blackfeetto the Kootena
and 20, Gao from the Kootenai tc
the Biackfeet, to facilitate admins
tration. In Arizona loo, $40 acre.
are eliminated from the Coronado
National Forest. In Nevada
49,84o acres are eliminated from
the Humboldt and 55,84o acres
added, of which I2,8oo acres are
included in the new Ruby National
Forest, composed principally oi
that part OF the old Humboldt ly,
ing south of the Southern Pacific
Railroad. In Utah I,34o acre:
are eliminated from the Sewer
while in California 5000 acres are
added to the Shasta and 48o acre.
