Duluth Lawyer Leaves for Crookston
Where He Will Visit Land Office
Middleton Satisfied with Outcome

When Kenneth S. Cant, a promin.
ent young lawyer of Duluth, and so1
of Judge Cant, of the st. Louis coun.
ty district court, yesterday completed
the work of establishing titles to the
land burnt over by the conflagration
| which swept the north end of the
county several years ago, another
lstep was taken in making the quartz,
of million settlement, growing OUT
of the cases brought against the Can
adam Northern for damages.
Attorney Cant has been in Bemidji
for about a month, searching the rec
ords of the :Bemidji Abstract com.
pany, that the correct titles of the
land owners at the time of the con-
Iflagration might be established. For
two weeks he was assisted in the
work by Italian L. Huffman.
IT Settlement Soon.
The work done by Mr.. Cant here
will give the officials of the rail-
road a correct basis on which to make
payment in accordance with the
agreement which was reached sew
eral weeks ago at Fergus Falls by the
attorneys in the fire cases. + r..
While the settlements will not be
made for the original amounts asked
for, they are to the entire satisfac-
ticn OF the burned out settlers, who
will receive as high as twenty per
Get of the damages claimed and will
not be caused to fight the matter in
| the courts. -
Not All Settled
A large majority of the settlers
have agreed to the basis on which the
railroad comany wishes to settle
and have signed releases, but others
have not done so. ~.

dette, who has had charge of large
percentage 4of the cases against the
trailroad, while in Bemidjs Saturday
said that all of his claimants had
agreed to settle.
Goes To Crookston
At the time of the forest fire many
of the homesteaders had not made
| final proof upon their land, but have
since done SO at the Crookston land
| office, and are entitled to damages
just as though they had owned the
| land out right. 1t was for the purpose
| of investigating such cases as these
that Mr.. Cant went to Crookston yes
terday His report will have much &c
do with the shortHess of time before
| the final settlements are made, anG
which are expected to be completed
within the next few months.

ZEN TER OF CATHOLIC
EDUCATION
BELGIUM AND GERMANY LEAD IN
THE PRACTICAL TRAINING AND
EDUCATION OF GIRLS.

The worlds center of Catholic edu-
cation today is most probably Belgi-
UNI. 1t is at least the center of Euro
pean culture" for the Christian maid
en- of today and the Christian mother
of tomorrow. In the United States
our Convent-academies pay special at
tention to literature, music and, in a
degree, to arts and sciences. In Bel
GUM, in addition to these, the acad-
emies, hundreds in number, pay very
special attention to extensive and
practical courses in domestic econo-
my, in cooking, in laundry work, in
dressmaking, cutting-out, etc.-every-
thing practical in a home, and this,
after all, should be the most impor-
tant education of young girls and wom-
en-. This practical, special education
is also impaired in the convent schools
of Germany. In Germany, from the
Imperial family down, the pride OF
every household is it's well-appointed
kitchens and culinary wares, linens
and the like domestic furnishings.

GREAT WORK PLANNED
CARDINAL FARLEY ESTABLISHES
A UNITED AGENCY FOR THE
:, BETTERMENT OF CATHOLIC
DEPENDENTS.

Cardinal Farley launched his United
Catholic Works plan recently through
sermons at all Masses in st. Patricks
Cathedral, New York, in the morning
and public service in the afternoon.
The new solicitor-general, the Rev
erend Vincent de Paul Mclean, who
is fire chaplain, was--the speaker
and preacher He said the plan is
simply to reinforce existing Catholic
agencies.
Visits will be made by Father Nc
Gean to all parishes in the Archdio-
cese to obtain pledges of one dollar
year from as many people as posi-
BILE. A part of the plan is to care
for the vast number of Catholics COM
ing here as immigrants, some twenty
nationalities, with 100000 immigrants
or more year.
The program reads: ITO promote
and aid settlements, nurseries, homes,
employment bureaus, fresh air and
summer outings, probation work in
the courts, social reform, protection
of immigrants in their faith and
make them true Catholics as well as
true citizens and finally a centre for
the extension of relief work methods
for charities"
