ANDREWS BACK IN CITY.
Spends Six Weeks In Thief River
And Adds Big Valuation To
County Property
WILL TAKE LONG VACATION

!! Attorney A. A. Andrews returned
from Thief River Falls where he
spent the past six weeks completing
the sale Of practically all the re-
claimed government ditch lands thus
far opened in Beltrami county north
of Red Lake.
Mr.. Andrews completed the sale of
nearly 800 quarter sections of re-
claimed lands, which, added to J. the
other sales resulting from the open
ing Of this section will put on the tax
list about 10000 additional acres
in this county. .,-
eyes I have been pretty. busy dur
ing the past three months said Mr..
Andrews" and I am going to take q
little vacation. The reclaimed lands,
practically every foot of which has
been sold will be a big help to this
county. If the lands are assessed at
$500 per acre it will mean about
$180,00O added to the assessed valua-
ton of Beltrami county.
"Most of the property was taken by
men who have money, which means
that improvements will begin at once
and in bigger way than most of
us realize ~ -.
The necessity of a rail road
through this fertile section lis more
evident daily. The, land is, as fiat as
a table and the hundreds of new
corners will make their demand
stronger than ever. Soon on this vast
area will be seen big steam plows
breaking the soil. Flax can he raised
the first year at a good profit and eff
forts to make a big showing are now
underway. There is little doubt in
that section but that the railway
companies will see the advantage of
running their lines through the
county, preferably north and south.
The soil is first class and the men
are going at it in genuine farming
fashion. It will not be an experiment.
Mr.. Andrews will leave here Satur-
day for Crookston, where he will
drive his new Hup touring car to the
southern boundary of the state. He
will then cross over into South Da-
|kota and visit his old boyhood home
at White. 20. .".e. -. .-.-.. ~
After spending a few weeks there
he will cross oyer into wisconsin
and there will meet his family re-
turning to Bemidji later in the fall.

BRING MORE CATTLE
into MINNESOTA
Governor Eberhart Suggests Plan In
Session with Business Men At
St. Paul.
SAYS BANKS WILL LOAN MONEY
Submits Table Showing Number of
Cattle and Swine In Seven
Neighboring States.

st. Paul, Sept 25.-At meeting
of business men from various sections
of the state Governor Eberhart sub
mitted a plan in which he embodies
many good suggestions for the re-
organization of farms on livestock
and crop rotation basis and advo-
Gates the bringing of more cattle into
the state.
In addressing the meeting the
governor spoke as follows:
"The plan which / am placing be-
fore you is only a tentative one and
is done for the purpose of giving us
a basis of discussion. It's object is
to bring cattle into the State of
Minnesota.
I'VE have twenty-three or twenty
four county agents: These twenty
four county agents should be instruc-
ted to ascertain how many cattle,
either milch cows or feeder-the
farmers in any particular locality in
their district want to buy. If these
farmers have not the cash to put into
a pool, he should make arrangements
for them at the local Dank to bor-
hn m hrJu w
cars or more cattle in accordance
with what the farmer is able to pay
for or arrange. .
eff the county agent is competent
to purchase the cattle he should be
the one instructed with this COM
mission 1t is absolutely essential
that in starting this it be inaugrated
conservatively and that no mistakes
be made. If the county agent can
not leave his work, he should con-
fer with the Dean of the Department
OF Agriculture of the University of
Minnesota. The actual expense of
this mans trip and freight, only,
should be charged up to all of the
cattle bought.
"The farmer would then be gett-
ing his COWS considerably cheaper
than if he went and bought them for
himself, and he would aslo be sure
of getting the kind of cattle he ought
to have. Under this plan there
would be absolutely no trouble
about advancing the money, as the
local bank would loan local farmers
the money to make the purchase on
their own note, and when the divi-
sion of the cattle is made, the farm
er can arrange with the local bank
for the amount he will need for his
particular share of the cattle The
prime object of this thing is to get it
started and started safely, as the
question of financing the movement
will take care of itself if it is started
right. | believe that in pursuing
such plan we would be advocating
something that would appeal to the
business judgment not only of the
farmers but of all the people of the
state, and we would have made a
tremendous strobe in practical CO.
operation.
81 believe that at this meeting we
should consider nothing except the
simplest form of procedure. 1t is
my Judgment that by this method
the farmer, could accomplish what 1t
is impossible for him to accomplish
individually, and no one is out "a
single cent. ST..
ATTACHED to this statement you
will find some figures obtained from
Dean Woods which are interesting
You will note the number of milch
COWS in Minnesota as compared with

considered dependent upon the pub
lie, but they will gladly accept any
donations which anyone may wish to
offer. Rugs, remnants, tables, chairs,
sofa pillows and other lounging room
equipment are the things most need-
ed at present and any one wishing Ia
present the club with any of the men
toned articles or any other article
which the club could use will be ap~.
|preciated by the entire club.
Merchants who wish to donate pill
lows with their names upon them are
welcome to do so, it will save the club
Ia large expense. Gymnasium para
phernaha will arrive in the near flu
ture and be installed in the hall.
A committee has been appointed by
the Chairman of the club to appear
lat the next meeting of the City coun-
ell and argue In favor of the extern
sion of the water pipes to the armory

mission charge will be raised to two

Voices of Birds.

There is nothing more remarkable in
this interesting class of animated be-
ings than the voice. The scream Of
the eagle 1900 feet in the air, and
thus more than three miles distant,
may be distinctly heard, and the calls
of tlocks of storks and geese, beyond
the reach of sight and equally remote,
are often audible. And these wonder
ful powers of voice are infinitely diver
sifed in their expression and use, from
the simplest call to the most compli-
Gated and elaborate song.
