MORE TROUBLE FOR SEEDLINGS
Men With Sein to Face Charge Of
Fishing illegally.

Fairmont, March 23.-There is more
trouble brewing because of the &C.
tiVity of the sein fishermen. They
were given permission we understand
to take their sein out of the water
on Thursday provided they did not
take any fish, but they drew in fish
and all, saved the fish and shipped
them. 1t is said there were ninety
boxes so taken.
Frank e. Wade being compelled to
go to Chicago for few days he
had William Bird duly appointed his
deputy to act in his stead during
his absence. The fishermen evi.
IDENTIFY did not want that kind of a
Bird. so sent to Waterville and got
game warden named Durgin to
be present while they drew the sein.
This does not look quite right to
many Fairmonters.
On Friday the fishermen went to
work with the evident intention OF
further SEEMING in Budd Lake.
Thereupon warrant was asked
out of the county attorneys office
for the arrest of the Seeing Bros.
on charge of sein fishing with
out a license.

by occupants of the house nearby,

Mr.. Beardsley has suffered from fire
and the loss this time amounts to
about $4,000, and no insurance was

1--WE editors have travelled all over
this part of the country, from Canada
down. but this coming year we have
arranged an excursion for Duluth and
st. Louis county. In referring to
st. Louis county, ! more particularly
allude to the educational and argi-
cultural interests of this rapidly
growing section of Minnesota. The
educational system there is excellent,
for they receive so much money as
taxes from the steel trust that they
can afford to build the best schools
and hire the best teachers. So we
want the editors to see all this.
'The steel trust is the greatest
octopus in the world, but it is Min.
nesota's octopus and pays large
taxes. They are building steel plants
up there that were wonderful, and
these the editors should see. We
want to lessen the prejudice of
Southern Minnesota against Northern
Minnesota.
"We will spend seven days there,
of which two days will be spent on
the lake as a fine water excursion,
two days in the mining country, one
on the river and one or two days
in Duluth. The excursion arranged
will be large one and one that
every editor will want to take part
in. 1t will also be q very mex.
