An EXPLANATION.
Editor Pioneer:

Editor Pioneer:
1t is, of course, true that Charles
r. Scheers, publisher of the Akeley
Herald Tribune and candidate for
the state senate, was chairman of
the resolutions committee at Thief
River Falls, and he was a good one,
He was the first and unanimous
choice of@the committee Mr.. M. N.
Kohl of Cass Lake was chairman of
the subcommittee on reclamation
and one or two other subjects, and he
was a gopd one. 1t is also true
that r. "A. Wilson was a member Of
the resolutions committee and
Mr.. Koll's subcommittee and Mr..
Wilson proposed the resolution ask
ing three per cent money for North
ern Minnesota and there was no ops
position to the general sentiment ex-
pressed in that resolution. The
Sentinel was completely in error in
saying that F. A. Wilson was chair
man of the resolutions committee,
the mistake being made by reporter
who misunderstood telephone mes
sage from Thief River Falls. Fur
thermore, what The Sentinel intend
ed to say only-and would have said
but for the bungled telephone mes
sage-was that the three per cent
resolution had been PRESENTED
(not passed) to the resolutions com.
mittee for it's consideration and The
Sentinel could not anticipate action
because at the time of going to press
| the resolutions committee had not
organized. These corrections would
have been made in this weeks
issue of The Sentinel, even though
no one had attempted to make poll,
tics out of the matter and no one
was quite so amazed as myself when
found that I had been recorded as
chairman of the resolutions com.
mittee. Thanking you for calling
my attention to the matter and as.
surfing you of my appreciation Of the
courtesy of permitting me to make
this correction, I am .....
Sincerely, -
F. A. WILSON. T..

STORIES OF The ROLLING DOLLAR
CApM uATuCc
FARM VALUES
COPYRIGHT, 1914

The Rolling Dollar lay in the SAM
purse with $50 yellowback. "Speak
ing of children" said that busy piect
of money, "why don't people lool
ahead little? They think they arr
giving their boys and girls goot
start in life, when as matter of fact
they are handicapping them heavily
You and l know what it means
for young people to make start
in the city. We know how many more
good chances there are at home-o1
ought to be. Yet lots of folks, think
ing they are saving money, tear down
their county town instead of build.
ing it up, by buying everything possi-
BILE from the catalog houses.
"When the children grow up they
must stay on the farm or go to the
city, for no town can grow and offer
opportunities to a young man unless
its merchants are patronized. And
few boys, seeing how close the sher-
iff is behind the business men of his
own town, will stay there while the
distant city attracts him. The good
people have forced their boys and
girls into the fearful grind of the
city by their own shortsightedness.
The home town goes downhill, while
the mail order houses get rich"
"Farm values are always higher if
there is good, live town in the coun-
ty," responded the $50 yellowback.
"When the farmer sells out and re-
tires he can get a stiff price because
he sells location as well as land.
Why, farm land around Centerville
here-where folks keep their money
working right around in a circle so
that it gets back to them-is worth
a quarter more than around Moss
dale, where the land is just as good.
But the Mossdale country has the
mail order bug.
cit is human nature to want good
town to come to once in a while, and
we are all willing to pay for live
towns advantages. The people in
the Mossdale district send all their
money to Chicago and the other mail
order centers. Consequently their
land is worth less money. They hav-
emit figured yet that no territory,
drained of its cash constantly by a

MAY DAY AT NORMAL
SPLENDID EXERCISES ATTRACT
LARGE ATTENDANCE.
Winners of the Several Prizes Offered
in the Various Interesting
Events

May Day was observed at the Ore
gon Normal School with much pomp
and ceremony. Ideal weather made
it possible for all the exercises to be
held on the attractive campus, and
the true spirit of the day seemed to
pervade all the school and the hun
dreds of people gathered to witness
the inter-class events. 1t is apparent
to even the most caseual observer that
at this school the students are slim
ulated to express their originality
and to develop their individuality to
the highest degree. Another notice
able characteristic of the school is its

vestors or newcomers.
ga good local market is worth
money to the owner of farm land
and you have a good market if there
is live town.
"Some people think the local furni,
ture dealer, the clothier, the grocer
and the hardware man are robbing
them because there is but one or two
stores Of that kind in the town. That
is one excuse for mail order buying.
"Here is proof to the contrary
City people are not bit smarter
than country folks, and they fall for
the catalog with the pretty pictures
just the same. Why, heard that
Omaha sends $25O,000 a year to one
Eastern house that has a fascinating
scheme for selling soap. Now Oma-
ha has a lot Of good stores, big ones,
and competition is so keen that "rob-
berry" is impossible. People there
have some other excuse for "buying
a pig in poke" l suppose, and they
get trapped the same way"

EARTH ROADS.

Like every other kind of
construction work, to be sue
cessfully built and maintained
earth roads depend upon sew
eral essential requirements.
Two of these are the drainage
question and the grade and
alignment. Upon the way in
which the surface water is
handled may almost be said
to depend the life of the road.
If the drainage is badly or
carelessly handled or allowed
to go neglected certainly it
means the destruction of the
road. So, too, in a large
measure is the life of the road
dependant upon the proper
alignment and grade. Often
times a change up the hill or
down the hill, a curve install
ed here and one eliminated
there or a new channel for
the neighboring small creek
will mean salvation for the
road.-E. A. Kingsley.

tion between all parties interested in

discussed the relation Of timber inter-
ests and state and federal government.
c. II. Flory of the United States for

on forestry. Details of trail build
ing, telephone line construction, the

work for patrolmen, and the use of
lookouts were also discussed.

1t is curious that with Oregon IS
only Normal School as near as Mon

ever, it is understood that some of
the local teachers are planning to at

their professional fitness.

THE BILLIARD PLUMBER.

It will be strange ii something posi-
tive and correctional if not punitive,
does not follow the disclosure that
John l.. Billiard of New Haven made
-, 74S. zoo out of his deal in New Haven
stock by means Of favors granted by
President MeIen. There is something
peculiarly hgh-handed about this
procedure which will strike the general
public as too gross to be passed over.
There will he common agreement with
the view in the Springfield Republi-
can;
- If the story now told by Mr.. Bill
ard is true, the transaction will receive
whitening blast of public condem-
nation. Was great railroad property
! like the Boston 4 Maine something

| back again at 4 loss of nearly $4,000,

/ while Mr.. Billiard profted in allie
sum! Mr.. Mellen has something NOR,
to answer for, if this was the arrange
| ment he consented to in its initiation
and approved in its contamination
There is no reason whatever to sup
pose that Mr.. Billiard could have car
ried through the business, rs he an.
Mr.. Mallen originally arranged it, with
out the backing of Mellen as presidcn
of the New Haven and the bankin:

support him. To allow to Billiard sue

have been a monstrous perversion 0
