Probable That Such An Idea Will be
Introduced at Hinckley Conven-
tion-Not Likely to Pass.
SLAMS THE STATE DEPARTMENT
Joseph Chapman Says immigration
Organization Not Entitled to
Confidence of People.

Baudette boosters are Sett1uS
forth many reasons why that rustling
little northern Beltrami county vii
lage should be the scene of the 1914
meeting of the Northern Minnesota
DEVELOPMENT association, at the sum-
mer convention now being held at
Hinckley.
While there are several others aft
er that meeting it is understood that
the Beltrami town has fair chance
of landing. c. R. Middleton, mayor
of Baudette, J. y. Williams, president
of the Commercial club, w T. Noon
an, editor TO the Baudette Region and
J. L. Williams are among the boost
ers who are arguing that Baudette is
the proper place for the meeting. q
The late arrival of automobile dele
cations from neighboring towns and
of speakers from the twin cities,
postponed the opening of the con-
vention until afternoon. Rev. G.. Pet
erson Of HinckIe made the inyoca-
tion and President R. H. Keyes Of
the Hinckley Commercial club well
coined the visitors. President G.. NJ
King of the development association
responded. Dean Woods of the state
agricultural department made the
first address on agricultural Organ
ization.'
A committee on credentials was
appointed, consisting of J. M. Thoen
of Benton county. J. U. Williams of
Beltrami, J. P. Foote of Polk, A. B.
Hostetter of St. Louis and R. Deer of
Pine.
Although twenty or more leading
spirits in the movement for the de-
velopment of northern Minnesota
spent the evening at headquarters in
Hotel Craig, the policies OF the con-
vention were tabooed and action on
the proposed northern state fair, one
of the live topics for discussion, was
not forecast Some leaders, however,
speaking as individuals prophesy
there will be nothing more than talk
to the move.
Joseph H. Chapman, vice president
of the Northwestern National bank
of Minneapolis, who was down on
this afternoons program for an ad-
dress on "A Minnesota Development
was unable to be present because of
the press of business matters. He
sent letter containing structures on
the states immigration department,
which was read to the delegates and
caused them to sit up. In this con-
nection he said:
To my mind, the Immigration de-
velopment organization, as it is at
the present time is not entitled to
the confidence of the people of the
state, because the results obtained
have been insignificant as compared
with the results obtained elsewhere.
The inefficiency of this department
has cost Minnesota thousands of set
tiers every year. -.

Some Signs are Being Disdgured BY
Children, For Which There is
Severe Penalty.

Along with the blazed trail which
will direct road travel from Bemdd1i

Crookston, this city will also have
side trip to Itasca Park and will be
connected with La Porte and Akeley.
A. L. Meigs, of Minneapolis, who
has charge Of the marking Of The
roads, and who has been in BemidN
during the past week, made this
known last evening before leaving foT
Fargo. ...,-. = .e,.., =. ::
The automobile which has been
under the charge of Mr.. Meigs, and
an assistant, and has been used IN
painting the signs, left yesterday
morning for Park Rapids, construct

the work can not be done successfully
during a rain or Immediately after,
lit is probable that the line was aoe
completed, but will be today. sz-=E
From Park Rapids the car will
mark The road between Park Rapids

line fwill be built to La Porte and
from there: on to Bemidji. -
The Crookston blue line, is COM
Eplete between Bemidji and that place
except for the strip from this city to
Backus. This will be patched up IN
the course of few days. When this
is completed the marking car will be
taken to Crookston and road mark
ed out between the latter named
place and Climax. This road will be-
black and will be the connecting link
putting Crookston on the Fargo-Twin
City line.
AS soon as possible line will be
marked from Bemidji to Itasca Stata
park. This line will be red and will
be more or less of side trip for Be-
midi. -
The blue line running from Crook
ston to Bemidji will run through
this place to Akeley, from where it
will run to Pequot, Brainerd down to
the cities. 1t will also lead :. from
Crookston to Grand Forks, Grafton

Rapids will continue to Sauk Centre

Much complaint has been made be-
cause of the fact that children are,
marking up these signs and in other
ways destroying them. There is a
severe penalty for so doing and par
ents would do we'll to caution them.

signs will be repainted and this will
