GEMMELL SAYS BEMIDJI
BUSINESS DOES NOT WAR;
RANT EXTRA SLEEPER

Asked Friday if Bemidji was to get
sleeper, w. H. Gemmell, general
manager of the NJ. & l., said that the
present business did not warrant it
and that it would not be good bust
ness for the railroad to go to the ad-
ditional expense until the business
did
1t was suggested to Mr.. Gemmell
that a sleeper spotted in the Bemidji
yards would work up business that
the railroad is now losing but he re-
fused to admit the proposition. He
said that the railroad did not see fit
to give the service until the business
warranted such a change.
Mr. Gemmell attended the meeting
of the Northern Minnesota Develop
ment assertion in Crookston MAX
ing the trip in his special car. He
returned to Brainerd directly and al
lowed the delegation from Interna-
tional Falls to use his car to make the
trip home.

PLAY OBERAMMERGAU FOR
THE MOVIES IN PALESTINE
By United Press.

ny " 4tSQ 1TS0Bs
Munich, Dec. 9-Disgusted with
the so-called religious productions
given at continental moving picture
theatres, representatives of numerous
religious bodies have formed a COM
mittee to send the famous Oberam-
mergau passion players to perform
before biograph cameras in Pales-
tine. The organizers are not con-
nected with any moving picture syn
dictate, and the films will be shown
only in church halls and meeting
houses, in which the committee are
satisfied there will be reverent and
appropriate atmosphere.
The pope has expressed his approx
al of the work and has granted a spe-
cial dispensation. It is intended to
represent all the Old Testament
stories possible, including it is hoped,
the passage of the Israelites through
the Red Sea. Besides the Oberam-
ergau players the organizers will
take a large number of actors, main
ly French, and they will recruit their
'crowds' in Palestine.

GREAT NORTHERN
MOVE DIVISION POINT :
Rumor at Crookston Last Week Said
Cass Lake Was to Lose Termin- q
ais to Bemidji. ~

According to a rumor which was
circulated last week at the develop
ment meeting in Crookston, Bemidji
is to be made the division point on
the Duluth Grand Forks line of the
Great Northern railroad. The divi-
sion point at the present time is at
Cass Lake although the Sank Center
Minneapolis train starts and ends
here. ..... -
1t is said that this change is to be
made because under the present ar
ran gements trains cannot be hauled
from Duluth to Grand Forks in two
runs of eight hours each. The growth
of the country and increase in traffic
makes longer time necessary for
the trip. 1t has been decided then,
according to the rumor, to make a
new division point at Swan River
and to move the Cass Lake yards to
Bemidji so that the Duluth Grand
Forks trip can be made in three runs
A state law provides that railway
men cannot work more than eight
hours on one run.
Asked if he knew of the proposed
change, e. E. Chamberlain, Bemidj
agent of the company, said that it
was news to him.

POPULAR PRIMARIES FOR
POSTMASTERS IS PROPOSED
BY United Press.

BY United Press.
Washington, Dec. Popular pri-
maries to determine the choice of COL
lectors of internal revenue, postmas-
tiers, marshalls and surveyors, is the
latest plan of the Democrats when
the December session of congress con-
venes. Democratic congressman who
are besieged with requests for such
appointments believe this plan will
save them from political obliteration
at the hands of disappointed Office
seekers in subsequent elections.
The new scheme is advocated by
Representative Humphrey of Missis-
sippi and Beal of Texas. There is
strenuous opposition and lively de-
bate is already under way. Repre-
sentative Robert L. Henry of Texas
is an opponent of the plan.

WANT NORMAL SCHOOL
Effort Will Be Made to Have State
Legislature Appropriate For
One In This Section.
NO SITE NAMED IN THE BILL

An active effort will be made in
the state legislature during the com
ing year to have an appropriation
made for state normal school to be
located somewhere in Northern MIN
nesota. Such an effort was made four
years ago, but both Cass Lake and Be-
midi were after the school and the
bitter feeling wrought up at that
time has left a bad taste in many
mouths since.
The bill, as it has been planned so
far, will call for the establishment of
a normal school in Northern Mime
sofa but no location will be named.
This will be left to the state normal
school board for decision so that all
of Northern Minnesota may be united
in securing the school with the bit
terness left out.
A conference of Bemidji men and
others interested in the school was
held with D. P. O'Neill of Thief Riv-
er Falls, at Crookston last week. Mr..
O'Neill stated emphatically that he
considered such a school necessary in
this part of the state but that he
would favor no bill which called for
any particular site. 81 will favor
general normal school BILL" he said,
'but do not care to have the old
trouble stirred up again.
State normal schools to which
young people from this section of the
state may go are located at Moor
head, St. Cloud and Duluth. The Du-
luth school does not consider Bemidji
in it's district so that local students
can go either to St. Cloud or Moor
head. The majority have been going
to Moorhead. These normal schools
are all crowded to capacity and in
some cases overcrowded
Because of the distance, many
young people from this part of the
state are forced to forego a normal
school training and take what they
can get in the high schools. High
school normal departments are limit
ed to twenty students but high
schools in this part of the state have
had to violate the provision repeated
ly in order that their teachers can
have any training at all. "A normal
school is needed" said Mr. O'Neill,
land we will do all we can to have
an appropriation made
Mr.. O'Neill appeared to believe that
it was quite possible to have the leg
