SEA NJ E N BILL
CAUSES EXCITEMENT
Discussion In Congress Exemplifed
Public Man AS Being Kind That
Leads Active Life.
REFERS TO CONGRESS AS CLUB
Congressman Kent Spoke of it AS Be-
ing Filled With Good Fellows
Lick at Least One.
By Congressman Tavenner

Washington, Nov. 5.--When Con-
gresham "Billie" Kent the other day
spoke of Congress as being like a
club filled with good fellows, he set
before people a new view Of their ma
tional legislature.
"Pretty nearly every one of them,''
added Kent, referring to the mem
bers, ''has had to lick at least one
man. This apparently is not a
very lucid explanation, but every req
blooded man will understand what
Kent was driving at.
If the varied experiences of con-
gressmen could be collected, they
would make tale of absorbing inter-
est. For, as a rule, public men are
the type that leads the active life,
during the debate on the seamen's
bill.
One OF the quietest men in the SEN
ate, modest retiring gentle of speech
and manner, is Senator Harry Lane,
Oregon. To see him, one would think
he had led the most sheltered of
lives. Yet in the coures of this de-
bate DR.. Lane began to talk learned
ly about "snubbing lines" and let
ting lifeboats down ION the rum"
and other mysterious things that in
dicated an intimate acquaintance
with the details Of a sailors life.
AS mater of fact, Senator Lane
has lived life filed with adventure
on land and at sea. Although he was
a practicing physician for many
years, he devoted much ofa-his leisure
to the search for adventure. He
found this principally in Alaska. He
has followed behind dog sleds,
:mushlng' it over bleak glaciers and
through the primeval arctic forests
for hundreds of miles, living on "dog
salmon" or the. products brought
down by his rifle. He has prospected
for gold in the Alaska streams. He
has been all up and down the Pacific
coast many times.
His knowledge Of seamanship was
gained, however, when he was boy
For season he pulled an oar on a
salmon fishing boat in all sorts Of
weather, rugged and often bitterly
hard work. Then fora time he SER
we'd as sailor before the mast on a
bay vessel owned by his father. He
knows what it is to cross a Pacific
coast harbor bar in a heavy gale
with the steering gear broken. Once
he went overheard at night in a tide
racing out to sea and fought in it
for hours before he could gain land
by crossing the current diagonally.
Yet such was the roughness of the
life that he kept his experience Sc
cret for fear of the chatting he
would receive from his messmates.
But many other men in Congress
have had exciting experiences. Re-

Service 70 And From Twin Cities
Criticised At Meeting
CITY DESERVING OF PULLMAN a.
Late Arrival Of Mail Matter Caused
Discussion At The Commercial
Club Session Last Night.
CITY DESERVING OF PULLMAN

Again the matter of the securing
OF better sleeping car service be-
tween Bemidji and the Twin cities
has been brought before the CONNER
cial club.
For more than year residents of
.Bemidji have made efforts to secure
better service. The matter has re-
peatedly been taken up with W. H.
Gemmell, general manager Of the
Minnesota and International railroad
company, but on each occasion he
has replied that the amount of bust
ness between here and the cities
does not warrant the placing of a
car here.
Bemidji requests that the st. Paul
international Falls train drop a
sleeper at Bemidji each morning and
pick it up on the down trip In the
evening. This would allow passen-
gers to Bemidji to sleep until 8 or
9 O'Clock, and passengers from Be-
midi to retire before midnight,
as is now the case.
Must Order Ahead
In order that one may secure a
birth, either upper or lower, he must
reserve it several ways before his de-
parture. nil. ...-r
8 A prominent Bcmidji business man
recently made trip to st. Paul.
Upon his arrival lin the capitol city
he went at once to the ticket office
and asked for birth for that even
ing. He was told that none could be
had. The ticket agent replied that
day after day the conditions were
the same, and that he could not un-
dertsand why another sleeper was
not put on. - 5..- -.<-.-s
Only recently four Bemidji wo-
man had to delay their trip to Min
neapolis day because they were un-
able to secure births. .....
At the meeting Of the Commercial
club last evening 1t ives decided to
again request that BemidH be given
a sleeper; 1t was considered slam
upon the progressiveness of the city
that he had not already been given
one. -s.-- T. 49,.
- Better Mail Service
+ Another topic r. discussed at the
meeting was the poor mail service
between Bemidji and the twin cities
It has been noticeable for several
months that mail posted in Minnea-
polls during the afternoon does not
reach Bemidji until the afternoon on
the following day coming via Duluth
thus making letters at least eight
hours late in arriving here.

a Personal Word
From MIR. BOttenfield
TO Out-Of-TOWn Readers
and Investors

Ten Southern States from Virginia to
Texas have participated literally by cash
subscriptions in the founding of Ogle-
thorpe University in Atlanta.
The campus of Oglethorpe University
is part of Silver Lake Estates; the per-
Detual use of Silver Lake has been given
to the University along with the donation
of land.
Silver Lake Estates has been designed
and will be established in connection with
OglethOrpe, as a residence community of
highest merit.
That these ten Southern States will
take an interest in the surroundings of their
University cannot be questioned.
We unhesitatingly invite Georgia and
Southern investors to participate with us in
this development of one of the most at
tractive and desirable residence commun-
ties in the South, assuring them with full
confidence of splendid profits from their
investment.
We ask you to write us and let us mail
you SILVER LAKE ESTATES book
let. If there is anything we have not
made clear, ask us about it; let us give you
any information you may wish about this
investment, the best, in our opinion and
that of many others, that Atlanta has yet
offered.
Respectfully,
L. p. BOTTENFIELD.
