THE RANGE OVERL COOKING A BET.

The fourth annual convention of the Northern
Minnesota Development association is to be heldat
Bemidji Dec. 4 and s. and every town in northern
Minnesota ought TO be represented by one or more
delegates.
Since it's organization the Northern Minnesota
Development association, through the interest it
has aroused in land clearing and highway con-
struction has done great work for this section of
the state. While it's activities have, generally
speaking, been remote from this region the iron
range has shared in the general good that has been
accomplished through them.
Some day one of the range towns ought to try
to land convention of the association. 1t would
be well worth having.
This years meeting, at Bemidji promises to be
one Of the largest ever in point of attendance and
the delegates will have fine opportunity too to
see the fruits of the associations labors there.
Ten years ago Bemidji was 'lumberjack town."
Farming the land, which was most often referred
to as "the jackpine barrens," was held to be out
of the question: Those who made the initial
ventures were considered lacking in good judy
ment. Today Bemidji is the center of prosperous
dairying country. The great bodies of pine that
were once it's chief resource have vanished and in
the place of the woodsman and lumberman has
come the farmer and dalryman. Bemidji is a
more prosperous town today and more substan-
tial one in every way than ever it was in the old
days when it was headquarters for between 5000
and 10000 woods laborers and shipped and man
ufactured more forest products than any town of
it's size in northern Minnesota
Intelligent cultivation of cutover lands was the
chief medium in accomplishing this condition.
Good roads also had large part in the general
result. To those ends the Northern Minnesota
Development association lent important aid
The problems presented here in the way of
agricultural development are not materially diff
ferent than those in Beltrami county. A meeting
Of the Northern Minnesota Development associa.
ton here or at Hibbing, Chisholm, Biwabik OF
Eveleth would help to arouse the interest that is
the only thing now lacking to start this region
on the road to increased prosperity through the
development Of it's rich and practically unexploited
agricultural lands. Incidentally it is fine bit Of
advertising for any town.

The Hibbing Tribune wants to see the Hibbing-
Chisholm road made a cement highway. Doubtless
enough money has been spent on it in the past to
cement it several times. It is one Of the most
Travelled bits of highway on the range, the road
between this city and Eveleth being the only other
stretch that probably nearly approaches it. c.
ment highways have passed the experimental
stage. They are proven efficient and high degree
economy as well. If Hibbing and Chisholm can be
connected with cement highway why can't Vir-
gnia and Eveleth?

One hundred and sixty-seven lives were lost in
the storm that swept the Great Lakes from Sun
day until Tuesday of this week. Ample warnings
of it's approach were given, but most of the ships
continued to stick to their course rather than lie
up in nearby harbors. The toll in lives and proper
ty loss is perhaps the largest in the history of the
lakes. The worst feature of it all is that behind
the wholesale wrecking of ships was commercial
greed that keep men and boats abroad in the face
of danger signals displayed in plenty of time to
have prevented it all, if needed. There is no in
dividual responsibility. The fault is national It's
results are apparent in railroad wrecks, in men
and women physically broken down long before
their time and is manifested in many other ways
We are living in a mighty strenuous age and we
Americans are the most strenuous of all the peo-
pies Of the world. Naturally we most often pay
the price. viii H. /. 4. ..=.=- .=@ -. - #

to secure it that will make it's neighbors as fully

merely another selfish move to add to the prestige
of the best, most rapidly growing and most ad-
vantageously situated town on the ranges.

Tilt Over Selection of Attorney

+. Revisers. .a... ~.
FRIENDS OF THE JUDGE
EXECUTE CLEVER COUP
r. c. Pickering Chosen at Saturday
Nights Meeting, But Appointment
Is Reconsidered and Montague Is
Elected by a Vote of 8 to 5.

A tilt over the selection of it's at
torney and the passage of resolu-
tion that the charter revision compre-
bend the commission form of govern
ment for the city of Virginia, replac-
ing the present system of mayor,
board of aldermen and various appoin-
tive commissions, featured the meet
ing of the charter commission Tues
day evening.
r. c. Pickering chosen attorney at
a meeting of the commission Satur-
day night was ousted and Judge R.
J. Montague, a prominent member of
the Virginia Progressive league and
a familiar figure in city politics, was
elected attorney by vote of to 5.
At Saturday nights session of the
commission Mr.. Montague was defeat
ed for the place by vote of to 4.
Mr.. Pickering, who is of the law firm
of Arnold & Pickering, was opposed
|lby various members of the commits
|'sion on the ground that he had been
a consistent opponent of the char
ter and member of the law firm who
had represented local people in in
junction suits brought during the
time the purchase of the city electric
light plant was pending.
Montague's friends were in the
majority at Tuesday nights session
of the commission and successfully
carried motion to reconsider the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Pickering. Judge
Montague was then elected. The coup
was unexpected by the friends Of Mr..
Pickering and found them unprepar-
lied to make fight. Some warmth
attended the incidental debate and
was later manifested when the matter
of fixing the salary of the attorney
was up for consideration. 1t is not
probable the matter will be again re-
opened.
C. C. Butler fathered a motion that
the charter commission proceed to re-
wise the charter in such, a manner that
the commission form of government
will be provided for and after some
debate his motion was adopted by a
unanimous vote.
The commission plans to have it's
work progress to the point where
necessary amendments to the charter
may be submitted at the February
election, while it is not probable that
the provisions providing for the ad-
option of the commission form of gov
eminent will be ready at that time.
Chairman Costin impressed on the
members the necessity of holding
weekly meetings and having a quorum
present if the revision work is to be
expedited. Regular meetings are to
be held every Tuesday evening from
this time on.

Mesaba Ore: At the invitation Of
the Board of Education we took a bath
the other night, and we're not going
to jolt out that old gag about having
taken a bath last spring and really
didn't need another until the year was
up. We spent full two hours in the
swimming pool at the Lincoln high
school building, and the reason we had
more fun than the kids is that we are
bigger than they are. AS an institu-
ton of learning, deep and profound,
the swimming pool has everything else
in the building beaten forty ways from
any starting point, and we intend to
cotton up to the members of the board,
the faculty, the janitors, the pupils,
and the school marms, if necessary,
to get a regular ticket to the swim
min hole. It's worth any effort, even
to the neglect of business.

Biwabik Times: The Duluth Labor
World insists that there is a food
trust in Duluth, fathered and promot-
ed by the commission men. Don't
doubt it. There must be a trust some
where along the line. Potatoes being
sold locally for from so to so cents a
bushel are bringing $3.50 a bushel a
few hundred miles south of here.
Apples that are selling for $3.50 bar
rel a few miles south of here are
bringing from 81 to 81 barrel here
1t is worse than trust. 1t is robbery.
But who's the robber? That's the
question that has not been solved.

The signature is withheld for the reason 1nat
it's publication would be unfair and would serve
no good purpose.
Now this is truly hard to bear, but it does not
chance in the least the opinion expressed in this
newspaper last week that The Menace, published
at Aurora, NO.. is one of the most infamous types
Of prostituted journalism that is tolerated in the
United States mails today, which undoubtedly
called this calamity down upon us.
It is an anti-Catholic newspaper, a rank appeal
to religious prejudice going far afield to accom-
psh it's ends and it is the belief of this news
paper that it is not worthy of moments serious
consideration from any man or woman who thinks
or observes No doubt if an anti-Methodist or
an anti-Baptst publication we're to be founded it
could find in those or any other creed as much
subject matter to be treated in the same nefari-
Gus, bigoted, vtriolic style as does the Menace.
Anyone can insult intelligence if he has sufficient
effrontery and the mind that inspires the Menace
has that and more.
The Enterprise is free from religious prejudice.
It would say as much about any publication that
attacked any Protestant church in the same VEIN
Under no circumstances will The Menace or any
of it's partisans to whom this article may cause
umbrage receive further consideration in this
newspaper.

Ely Miner: Senator James P.

ally announced himself for the place

Ter who is in the PHILIPPINES at present
will probably announce himself when
he returns. Should these two be pit

something doing in political circles

Hibbing Tribune: The state
game and fish commission dis
charged seventeen game wardens
Wednesday. Why only seventeen? ?
Of all the useless things on the face
of the earth the species Minnesota of
that genus is the most useless. There
is only one thing more worthless
state game and fish commission itself.
The principal business Of the commits
sion, if it's long record be anything
to Judge by, is in assiduously keeping
good for nothing wardens on the job.
Now and then the commission has been
afflicted with a really good warden
but it constantly got rid of him in
fairly quick time. The state game
and fish commission is a fine thing
for it's members, the game wardens
and their friends.
