Clash.

Washington, Dec. 22.--Diplomats are
interested in the report that Theodore
Roosevelt and DIR. Marchial Martinez,
former Chilean minister to the United
States clashed in Santiago Di Chile over
the Monroe doctrine. The Chilean is re-
ported to have dissented from Roose-
velt's view that the doctrine is still a
vital issue. II is reported that the de-
bate attracted unusual interest because
both prepared speeches were reviewed
before their delivery by the Chilean for
eign Office.
In an address at a Roosevelt reeep-
ton Martinez characterized the doctrine
as a dead issue. The statement aroused
the ire of the colonel who replied with
some heat and is said to have suggested
TO the diplomat that it was ill-advised
on such an occasion to inaugurate con-
troversy.
1t was said that at the conclusion
of Roosevelt's reception demonstration
against the American yisito. was made
by small clique of Central American
students.

Advertising Literature.

Men of Bemidji who are interested
in the procuring of new settlers for
the surrounding country and indust-
ries for this city find themselves
handicapped by lack of advertising
material: Every day many. requests
for literature are received by differ
ent local firms. ~
Some Of the real estate men have
gone to the expense of printing
pamphlets describing the country
but the cost has usually been 80 high
that they have been unable to print
pamphlets of size nor in any quantity.
The time appears to be ripe, there
fore, for the compilation and printing
of a pamphlet which can be used by
the real estate men, stores, railroads,
state commissioner, etc.
Such book might be. compiled I'M
der the direction of. the Commercial
club or. the county commissioners.
The Hubbard county commissioners
last year put out book of Hubbard
county that was one of the best in
the state. Bemidji had book print:
ed last spring but it evidently did not
meet the need for which it was in
tended as it was not circulated.
Spring is but few: weeks away
and advertising literature sent out at

results. ,. =:
