This Year Like 1897 at Harrington.
Harrington - Farmers claim this
year is duplicate of the year 1897,
when June rains at the right time
produced conditions which resulted in
phenomenal yield and for which
good prices were paid. Winter wheat
never looked better than it is looking
now. Hundreds of farmers have ia
large acreages Of fall wheat and some
fields are now giving promise of 40 to
45 bushels. Spring-sown grain is
coming on well, and with continued
favorable weather this, too, will make
exceptionally good yields.

The Great Northern railroad has
been approached on the proposition
Of putting a road through the Itasca
State Park and connecting it with
Park Rapids, Walker and Bemidji. It
has been pointed out 81 to the Great
Northern that from the end of the
Walker logging road which runs from
Ahclcy ~ Lie pdih' " Tie euu VI Tile
old line south from Shevlin is a
stretch Of seven miles. BY building
this seven miles and laying rails on
the right of way to Shevlin, the Great
Northern can have line through the
park. .....- .>~. :.
Although there are no rails on the
line south from Shevlin, the gravel
bed still remains and it is said that
the road has but a one per cent grade.
It is proposed, if the Great Northern
will make the change, to have the
night train turn at Akeley and run
through the park into Bemidji via
Shevlin. In the morning. it would
leave as it does now via Cass Lake.
Such service will give one. train a
day through the. park and will get
visitors to Bemidji in time for night
trains in all directions. :s,.

That Bemidji is to see a building
boom the coming year is apparent
from the above figures. AS near as
can be estimated, the new buildings
constructed and additions built last
year totaled about $4,000 in value.
Before this year is over, the figures
will be doubled.
With the announcement that the
Shevlin interests have taken over the
Weyerhauser timber near KelliheT
also comes the announcement that
the Crookston Lumber company's mill
in Bemidji is to have it's capacity for
saving practically doubled in order
to take care of the additional timber.
The addition will be started, it is
expected some time the latter part
of May or June and will cost about
100000. This will probably be the
most valuable building put up here
this year.
The building second in value to be
erected during the year will be the
postoffice, bids for the site being
opened April 8. AS soon as site
has been obtained, it is believed that
construction work will start. The to-
tai cost of the project will be at least
$4,000 and if any or all Of the site is
donated, the value of the building
alone will be that much. ~ 81
An addition to the Crookston mill
costing $4,000 has been completed
and is now in use. The mill started
saving this morning; Logs are now
received at the mill double the old
length and must pass through the ad-
dition to be cut in half before going
to the main saws. s 35.
One of the most important opera
lions to be undertaken in the build
ing line will be the erection of an
addition to the Markham hotel. The
addition will contain forty rooms,
Z. will cost about $4,000 and will be
the third or east wing of the COM
pleted three wing new hotel. The
second wing will probably be built
either the latter part of this year or
the first part of 1914. Mr.. Lycan ex-

they can continue operating the pres

plant and remain twelve. The latter
course has been decided upon. ~
The first deal went through last

papers by which the Shevlin-Mathieu
company of Spooner decided
over to the Backus-Brooks interests
of International Falls the mill at
Spooner and all of the lumber, saw

The second was closed yesterday
when the Crookston Lumber company
bought all of the Weyerhauser timber
in this part of Minnesota. The pur-
chase price is said to have been about
$2,5OO,000. BY the two deals, the
people have closed out their
property on the border, with the ex-
ception of mill at Fort Frances for
the manula3s. ure of Canadian Tx Der,
and are now concentrated in Bemidji
with small mill in Crookston.
The Weyerhauser timber which is
now the property of the Crookston
Lumber company lies on the four
townships surrounding Kelliher.
10000 acres of land. For the past
two months, cruisers of the Crooks
ton company have been going over
the land estimating the timber and
it's value.
Removal of Weyerhausers.
The deal closed yesterday marks
the removal of the Weyerhauser in
terests from this part of Northern
Minnesota. But one of two arrange
ments were possible under present
market conditions. Either the Crooks.
ton had to buy the Weyerhauser TIM
Der and continue the mill in Bemidji
or the Weyerhauser people had to
buy the Crookston mill or erect one
of their own The rate from Kelliher
to the Weyerhauser mill in Little
Falls is prohibitive and the first ar
rangement was the one which mater
ialized. Both deals were consumated
in the Minneapolis Offices Of the con-
Germs.
The Weyerhauser deal was about
closed last spring when the tax as
sessments were made. The Crookston
Lumber company believed that 1t had
been assessed out Of It's proportion
and called off the Weyerhauser deal
intending to cut its merchantable
timber here as soon as possible and
leave the country. The tax matter

WHITE SLAVE TALK
DUE TO SOCIALISTS
Social Evil and Department Store
Working Conditions Have No Con-
neetions, Says Association.

New York. July 26.-That there is prac-
tically no connection between the so!
called white slave" evil and the work
ing conditions In the New York depart
ment stores, is the opinion of>he Welfare
Department of the National Civic FEEDER
alton. in its report just filed by William
r. Wilcox. chairman of the department.
The report goes further to say that:
The persistent attempt to cast refiec-
ton upon the character of working wom-
en- through the contention that immor-
ality is a prevalent and a necessary part
Of their changed economic condition, i.
an asperSion upon womanh bod. which is
most obnoxious to the army of business
and professional women who suard their
regulations even more carefully than the
rich society" women who have every
protection thrown around them.
"One explanation of the persistent ef-
forts to make white slavery an econo-
mic rather than an ethical question. is
that fact that Socialist writer's have
filed the magazines and newspapers with
their philosophy.
In other words, many of the statistics
and much of the literature on the white
slave question today are furnished by
those who openly demand that our in
dustrial system must be overthrown and
all poverty abolished before there may
be found any cure for the social evil
The committee discovered far better
conditions, according 10 the report, ex-
listing IN the twenty-five stores investi-
gated, than il had anticipated.
