Koochiching in Trouble.

Koochiching county has hoisted
the signal Of distress and sent wire
less to the governor for help. !.
twenty-five residents have petit
toned him to investigate the conduct
of the board of county commission
ers and the county attorney of that

The charge Is made that Franz Je.
van, county attorney, without sufic-
lent reason, dismissed proceedings
brought against the International
Lumber company to collect $4,000 in
taxes, and intimates collision in
volving the board of commissioners.
The letter also charges that the
county board hired George A. Snyder
to go to St. Paul to interest the leg
islature in the need of good roads in
that county and that instead Snyder
lobbied for other interests. The
county board paid him 1915.

RESULTS THAT REMAIN u Al

Thousands who suffer from back
ache and kidney complaint have tried
one remedy after: another, finding
only temporary benefit. This is dis
couraging, but there is one kidney
medicine that has earned a. reputa-
ton for lasting results and there is
plenty of proof of it's merit right here
in Bemidji. x f-.:.:- ...... -. -

Bigger Than a Committee.

E. E. Collins proposition to furn-
ish gas to the city of Bemidji is too
big proposition to be left to any
committee of three men. The coun-
Gil meets a week from tonight and
at that time will hear the report of
the special committee. The special
committee will meet with Mr.. COL
Inns tonight in the office of the city
clerk. The meeting is open to those
who wish to attend. Mr.. Collins
proposition is one which affects all
of the business interests of the city
and representatives of the Commerce
ial club should be at the conference
tonight.

Time to Get Busv.

If Bemidji is to have the fifth nor
NAL school, more local interest must
be shown in the matter than has
been shown to date. The committee
on statistics has compiled the in
formation which is to be presented to
the committee from the legislature.
The committee on site is confering
with the townsite company to see
what it will do in the matter. But
there appears to be a general air of
Indifference on the subject.
Every man in Bemidji must put
forth an effort if the city is to land
the normal school. Thief River Falls
is working tooth and nail. Cass
Lake is quietly laying it's wires. Be-
midi is the logical place for the
school but the fact must be demon
strated.
1t Is to be hoped that the commit
tee to be appointed will contain men
who are interested particularly in
education and not committee of pol
iticians. No one could find fault
with a committee composed of DR..
Vincent, member of the normal
school board, the attorney general,
Joseph Chapman, Jr., the state sup
erintendent Of schools and one man
in general business. A committee of
politicians might be governed by mo-
tives other than the best interests of
state education.
The legislatures committee will
probably be appointed within the
week. Bemidji should be in shape to
lay it's proposition before the COM
mittee at once. The Commercial
club has taken the first steps; now
let the directors meet and go farther.

Tin Can Day.

A month ago, the Commercial club
of Spooner announced that on GER
tain date it would pay one cent a
dozen for all tin cans delivered to the
committees in charge. The commit
tees that day were overwhelmed with
tin cans and paid for 23,064 or 1922
dozen cans. The 1922 quickly
found it's way into the hands of the
stores through the ice cream route,
but Spooner today is free from tin
cans. No tin cans means thousands
less of flies and mosquitoes this sum-
mer. =
The Bemidji Commercial club
would do a great service to the city
If it followed the lead of the Spooner
club and bought all the tin cans in
sight. The cost of the cans and haul
ing them away is not prohibitive.
They might be loaded on barges and
sunk in the lake or carted out to
some slough by wagon. There are
plenty of tin cans here and each
means a breeding place for flies and
mosquitoes. III .s.:.s
