ORGANIZE STUMP
PULLING /, COMPANY
J. K. Flynn In City With Intentions
OF Organizing Local
Concern
BEM1DN FACILITIES EXCELLENT
May Build In Fall Or in Spring
Bemidji Business Men May Be 4
Stockholders

J. K. Flynn of the Flynn Stump
Fuller and Piler Company of SUPER
Tor, Wisconsin spent the first part of
the week in Bemidji and expressed
intentions of returning to Bemidji in
the near future to organize a COM
pany to manufacture the machines
in this city. Mr.. Flynn looked over
the advantages to a Manufacturing
plant in the city and appeared favor
ably impressed. ---..... "
If the prospect is carried through
it is possible that work will COM
mence on the construction of a plant
this fall or early in the spring and
that the plant will be in operation
within a years time. :.
Mr.. Flynn believes he has the only
successful stump puller on the market
and claims much more for his ma
chine than do other companies.
Among the advertising matter sent
out displaying the qualities of this
machine Mr.. Flynn shows table dis
playing the cost of stumping a field
with dynamite and the actual cost
WI hn ct,
shows cost of $24.40 per acre while
the cost for dynamite is shown at
$46.46. The figures were gained dur
ing a recent contest between the
Powder company and the Flynn COM,
pany., -. Is. @n
A plant of this nature would mean
a great deal for Bemidji and vicinity
as many men would be employed and
the plants capacity would be large
enough to supply several states. The
farmers in this vicinity would I'M
doubleday be furnished the machine
at lower rate than of they were
forced to send to the cities as they
could buy direct from the factory.
If the machine was proven sue
cess it is probable that the greater
majority of farmers throughout the
County would become possessors Of
one as a result Beltrami County
would lose great many of
it's fields that are now covered with
stumps and the land turned into exl
cellent farming land.
Bemidji business men appear to be-
willing to see plant of this nature
built in Bemidji and as the company
and stockholders would consist Of
nearly, all Bemidji men it would
practically be a local company. z

Where Afternoon Was spent at
Games And Speeches
CHARLES F. SCHROEDER TALKS
Local Fair Secretary Urges Farmers
To Prepare Exhibits For
Coming Fair

composing the Summit Farmers
Club held picnic at the Charles
Gustavson farm, six miles East of
Blackjack where speeches of inter-
est were made by prominent and ex-
perienced men and sports of every
kind were held. Charles F.. Schroe-
der, Secretary of the Beltrami Coun-
ty Agricultural Association attend
ed, and reports that he had an ex-
cellent time. -.
Mr.. Schroeder said "Mr. Gustav
son on whose farm the picnic was
held is a former Bemidji man and
is making success as a farmer. He
now owns one. of the best developed
farms In that community"
About 200 members and visitors
were present at the picnic. James
Reed a Blackjack merchant acted as
chief cook and according to reports
handled his position with the skill
of real lumber camp chef. Among
the Bemidji visitors who attended
were Anton Erickson and Eric Ives.
Mr.. Schroeder states that the farm
ers expressed ordinations of sur
prise and jealousy when the Benz
idjt representatives partook Of the
bountiful repast set before them by
the farmers, as there was no COM
parsion between the appetites of the
natives and the City Men, +
.. !, Mr.: Schroeder gave short
talk on gathering and the prepare
ton OF articles for the State and
County Fair. Many of the farmers
appeared to take keen interest in
the idea of exhibits at the fairs and
expressed intentions Of sending in
samples Of their best crops to be dis
played here. The Club which is the
most progressive in the County,, all
live members decided to enter a
Farmers Club exhibit at the County
fair and will take immediate steps
in preparing the exhibits.
After the speeches many field
sports were held among which was
base ball game. J. E. Dade of
Blackjack won the footrace and the
tug-of-war was won by a team sell
ected by Charles Parker. .<~.
Before and after the picnic Mr..
Schroeder visited many of the farms
in the vicinity of Blackjack and re-
ports excellent farms, which are be-
ing rapidly developed. Among the
farms visited was the J. G. Thomp-
son farm where he was shown a fine
field Of alfalfa. Mr.. Thompson in
tends to increase the amount of al
falfa each year as he believes it is
among the most profitable of farm
products.
The firm Of Whiting, Thomson and
Cam are opening up farm on
which they have already built a
large barn and on which they ex.
pect to build a silo in the near fu-
ture. Among the farm products now
being raised by this firm is alfalfa
seed recently brought from Siberia
and which the farmers in that vi.
cinity believe will prove a success
for this locality.
A. E. Whiting has tract of LAND
sown with the Siberian alfalfa or
his land on Blackjack Lake where
plants 46. days old measure 40 in.
ches high.
Samples of this product will be
sent to the Beltrami Country Coun.
ty Fair this fall by many of the far
mers who are now raising this grade
of alfalfa.

Says Loans To Beltrami County
We're Not Made Because State
Fixes Is per cent Limit
STATE WILL LOAN TO MAXIMUM

In, your issue of July 2Sth last
reference is made to $128,000 from
the State to. dig drainage bitches,
but could not get 1t because the
State had no available funds.
The truth is that loans were not
made because to do so would be to
exceed the limitation of 5 per cent
as fixed by the state Constitution.
The State did. however, agree to
loan up to the maximum. The fol-
lowing letter sent to the County Au-
ditor, under date of July &c, 1913.
states the facts. s.
Will you be kind enough to pub
lish this communication.
eve have before us the following
applications for Ditch loans from
Beltrami County: Judicial Ditch No.
10. $4,000. No. IA, $4,000 and No
Is $35,700, making a total Of $780,
200. The Certificates prepared by
you as County Auditor show that the
last, assessed real property valua-
ton is $5,o57,221. The constitu-
tional limitation on loans made
from the State Trust and Fund is Is
per cent of the reals property val
uation. which is the maximum that
can be loaned by the state, including
all indebtedness, floating and
otherwise. This would be $75S,6S3.-
10. I'LL,
1t apears from yossr certificate
dated July rs, 1913, that the total
Indebtedness, bonded and otherwise,
of your county is $768,993.7s, de-
Quoting therefrom the $5O,967.3O in
your sinking fund leaves $71S,026.-
49,. This leaves $4O,452.61 as the
maximum that the State could loan
your county at this time. .-~ 49,.
The only application that falls
within that amount is your Judicial
Ditch No. Is, $35,700. I have there
fore retained that application and am
returning you all the papers in ap-
plication for a loan on Judicial Ditch
No. 10 and Judicial Ditch No. IA. for
the reason that to make those loans
to your county would be in excess of
the limit authorized by the State
Constitution. - r
May I also request that in case
your bonded or floating Indebtedness
is increased between this time and
the time when you actually issue the
bonds for the loan on Judicial Ditch
No. Is, that you advise me of it,"
Yours very truly

NO CHANCE FOR
WOMAN SUFFRAGE
An Inventory Taken From The
Congressional Record Shows %
Favor It
BIG MAJORITY ARE SILENT
To Pass Constitutional Amendent
For Submitting To States Needs
Two Thirds Vote
BY Congressman Clyde H. Tavenne1

BY Congressman Clyde H. Tavenner
Washington, August 7,-What
chance is there for the passage by
the present Congress of the woman
suffrage amendment to the constitu-
ton? This is a question being asked
by enlightened women in all parts
Of the United States.
Owning to the enlightening pro-
ceedings in the Senate on July 81,
when the suffrage petitions were
presented, it Is possible to get line
on the attitude Of many members of
the Senate, for many stood up and
expressed their views.
The following is the symposium
taken from the Congressional Re-
cord:
Ashurst, of Arizona: THAT the
granting of the elective franchise to
women would add to the strength,
efficiency, justice and fairness of
government, l have not the slightest
doubt"
Bankhead, of Alabama: 81 shall
vote against the passage of the
joint resolution"
Bristow, of Kansas: There is no
sound argument that can be made
against the extension of woman suf-
frage.
Chamberlain, of Oregon: "There is
no reason in the world why the
women of this country should not
be permitted to exercise the right
of suffrage"
Clapp, of Minnesota: "The time is
inevitable when the American people
will confer upon American woman
hood the only peaceable weapon
known to free government for her
own protection, and that is the bal
lot."
Crawford, of South Dakota: 81
have no hesitation in frankly saying
that l shall vote for it here"
Gallinger, of New Hampshire: ut
will give me great pleasure to vote
in favor of the proposed constitu-
tional amendment
Jones, of Washington: 81 hope the
Senate will pass the joint resolu-
ton"
LaFollette, of Wisconsin: 81 can
not remember a time when was not
in favor of extending the suffrage
to women"
MARITIME, of New Jersey: 81 believe
it (woman suffrage) would not &C
cure to the well-being of this loved
land of ours
Owen, of Oklahoma: 81 strongly
favor the proposed extension of the
franchise"
Pittman, of Nevada: THE men of
my state believe women should have
the right to VOTE"
Poinde1ter, of Washington: 81
am in favor of the joint resolution"
Pomerene, of Ohio: 81 have never
had any sympathy with the stock
arguments which are used in op-
position to woman suffrage"
Ransdell, of Louisiana: 81 am in
favor of the joint resolution"
Shafroth, of Colorado: "The moral
right of women to vote is clear and
conclusive"
Sherman, of Illinois: For the
Lords sake let us give woman a
chance and see if she cannot get us
on a little higher level than we now
are"
Smith, of Michigan: 81 shall
vote for it here when I have an op-
portunity.'
Smoot, of Utah: "The logic OF
common sense has been the force
that has removed prejudice against
admitting women to equal rights
with men,"
Thomas, of Colorado: 81 trust
that we will take up, consider and
pass the joint resolution"
Thompson, of Kansas, 81 shall
gladly support the constitutional
amendment
Thornton, of Michigan: am In

lola, Kan, Jan. 9.-In these days of

give the daughter away in marriage,

has been called on here to settle that
question.
for the BartleSVille Zinc company at
Collinsville, Ok, eloped with Miss Net
tie Ferguson of Collinsville. The cou-
pie was arrested on Santa Fe pas
senger train in lola at the request of
Miss FerguSon'S mother, who has gone
to Claremore to swear out a warrant
for Whites arrest, charging perjury.
In obtaining the marriage license
White swore that his bride was of
legal age. Miss FerGuson's mother
says she is not.
He Didn't Fear Trouble.
81 didn't believe there would be any
trouble about it, White said to Chief of
Police CoffieId. 81 talked to Mr.. Fer
guson some time ago, and asked him
for his daughter. He gave his con-
sent. We went to the home of our
pastor, DR.. Payne, who is also a dep
uty sheriff. 1 still felt that it was
wrcssS to stretch Miss F'erguson's age
I'D to sSe limit, but DR.. Payne said it
would be, all right, and we were mar
fied.''
White is confident that nothing seri-
Gus will come OF his arrest.
Mr.. Ferguson doesn't care he ar
cues. land what can Mrs. Ferguson do
about it?''
That question remains to be an
swered. Up to date she has been able
TO cut short the honeymoon of the
young couple. Whether she can have
the marriage annulled if Mr.. Fergu-
son persists in his consent remains to
be seen.
