MARls DEVELOPS FARM
Owns Tract Near Live Town of Ne.
bish on the Red Lake Road
North of Bcmidji.
TO SECURE IOWA HoMEsEEKERs

LsEs o. So E +-LFr- r ~.
James Maris, a young single man,
who came here a year ago from
Iowa, bought a tract Of land near the
town of Nebish and has already
cleared several acres by hand, be-
sides making a living at crop raising
and other work.
He left for Morris, Minnesota to
help harvest crops in that section and
will return to his farm after a visit
to Iowa., where he contemplates con-
vincing farmers of that community
that Minnesota lands, are better for
.preducing crops than lands else
where. - I
"Iowa is no place for a poor man."
said Mr.. Maris, "and what's more
Minnesota soil can be bought for
less and it will produce more per
acre than the high priced. land in
other states. Any fellow can come
here and make a living, and that's
all they are doing in Iowa. That is
mean those who are not wealthy"
Mr.. Maris expects to be back on the
land clearing job about December
first.

SEASON NOW ON
Docks at Head of Lakes Crowded
Owing to Late Orders From All
Local Dealers.
SHIPPERS URGE EARLY BUYING

Local dealers In Bemidji are re-
ceiving many orders for the winters
supply from the various families In
the city. They are hauling from
cars that are arriving daily thus cut
ting down the expense of unloading
into the yards before distributing.
The coal movement from the head
OF the lakes docks to country points
during August has been far below
normal, and as a result, the storage
capacity of all the docks is taxed to
its utmost at the present time.
This means that the dock compan-
les will be obliged to stop shipping
from Lake Erie ports until such time
as dock space at the head of the
lakes is available, unless the dealers
in and consumers of coal, place ord
ers with the coal companies for their
winter requirements, and have their
shipments made from the docks i'm
mediately. e ~
The coal now on hand at Duluth
and Superior, should be all moved to
the country, and the docks again
filled to capacity before the close of
navigation, to take care of the re-
quirements of the northwest during
the winter.
The existing condition is serious,
and dealers are urged to make extra
ordinary efforts to prevail on the
consumers to commence at once to
order their coal.
