.NYM0RE PAVING BEGUN
Contractors Rushing Work as Fast
as Weather Man Will Per-
nit.
BEMIDJ1 AVE. BLOCK COMPLETE

Work on the paving of the Nymore
road is going ahead as rapidly as
weather conditions will permit.
Saturday the first block of paving
was finished, Bemidji avenue being
paved from Third street to Second
street.
The next block will be past the
Northern Grocery house to the tracks
and the contractors, Goodman & Lott
we'd, expect to have the stretch COM
pelted within ten days, providing
the weather continues favorable.
AS big a crew of men as can be
used will be kept at work during all
the time that it is possible to work
as the contractors do not wish to
take any chances on not being able to
finish the work toward Nymore be-
fore frost begins and the season gets
so late that the pavement cannot be
properly laid.
The same consistency of concrete
is being used for this pavement as
was used on the other pavement put
down this eyar and while it lacks the
amount of cement that was used on
Third street when the original pave
ment was put down two years ago, it
is said by cement experts to be strong
enough to stand ordinary travel for
a long time.
The proposed point of termination
of the pavement now going down is
at the Mill Park limits, at point
not far from where the railroad runs
to the Crookston mill.

Socialists Want to Debate.
c. J. Larson, of the Socialist local,
was endeavoring to secure a debate
with the speaker tomorrow night
with a member of the local of Bemid-
il, but reported that he could not Sc
cure the privilege. When asked who
would be selected to meet the Min
neapolis attorney on the floor, he
said, eve have several good debaters
in our local, among them being
Messrs. Weber and Hannah, both able
takers on state issues. l called up
Mr.. E. E. Mcdonald over the phone
and asked him if it was possible to
arrange for a debate tomorrow night,
but he refused to stand for it, so I
guess it's all off unless arrangements
can be made with Mr.. Manahan when
he gets here"
In speaking of the affair today Mr..
Mcdonald stated that he was not the
manager of the program Tuesday ev-
ening, although he had been asked
to preside at the meeting. "If I pre-
side will feel it my duty not only
to extend the speaker every deserv-
ing courtesy. but to protect him if
possible from any insults whatsoever.
He does not come here for the pur-
pose of debate, but to speak on ma

CORNELIUS 8. MURANE.

Judge Cornelius B. Murane has been here but a short time. decided ly too short time for the good of this division. There have been many judges sit on the local bench. some regularly assigned to it. other. simply sitting on it for short term. as has Judge Murane. but never in the history of this court has there been a more dignified or able juris, in the chair than Cornelius B. Mu- rane. His manner of cleaning up the calendar is worthy Of the highest praise. and those who have come un. der his jurisdiction can feel cer. tain that whether convicted or aC. quilted. whether the case in which they were interested went for or against them. they had at the hands of this competent and sincere judge a fair and impartial trial.
 We congratulate the third division on having so able and fair minded a man on the bench. and can hope for this division. with it's new and unknown judge no one who is fairer or more able than Cornelius E. Mu rane

SOMETHING FOR NOTHING.

Last Monday the Alaska Citizen could not give it's readers the lat est news of the Outside world. During the latter part of the last week and most of this week the press throughout Alaska was forced to pay the extra charge lev jed on messages received by the way of Canadian lines, and when that means of hearing from the states gave out, they were forced to go to press without one word of tele- graphic news. And all because the Burnside, the ship that is supposed to keep the Alaskan cable in repair. at Seattle and not anywhere near any of the breaks in the line. Usu- ally the cable parts near the Alaskan coast. and there seems to us to be no reason why Alaskans should be deprived of their rights by having a ship given over for their exclusive use stationed a thousand miles. away The Burnside would last just as long and float just as well If sta toned at Ketchikan or some more central point than the Spirit City. We are paying exorbitant rates for a cable service that is a disgrace to the government. The local land lines are well handled, but the cable is worse than poorly handled, it is so insanely managed as to call down the wrath of every fair-minded per son on the head of the man responsi- ble for such ridiculous orders as must have been given to allow ar Alaskan vessel to remain at Seat tie.
 One might equally as we'll set all alarm clock for six in the morning hoping to be awakened thereby, and then put it in Seattle and hope to hear it ring in Fairbanks It is not fair to the subscribers who pay their money to get the news or to the papers who spend their money to give the news to their subscribers.

 so far as the quartz prospectors are concerned much more can be ac- complished than if attempts are
 made to discourage the development of that industry by knocking and making slurring remarks as to the certainty of whether or not we have enough hard rock to call this a quartz camp.
 If we have you will feel much bet ter if you have helped all you car to develop it, and if you have cast
