PEAT BOGS BURNING.
Roseau County is Threatened With
Smudge for Years to Come.

Fires in the peat boys of Roseau
county that may burn for years have
started around the Thief Lakes coun-
try, according to William T. Cox,
state forester who returned from
Roseau county recently. He went to
Roseau county to warn the settlers
Of the danger. If the fires get good
start, Mr.. Cox says, they will burn
until the peat is entirely gone, and
that nothing but bedrock and clay
will be left. The value of the land
will be destroyed, for it is useless
without peat. The fires were started
by settlers burning underbrush on
lands, and since then the fires have
spread over many acres A number
of bitches have been dug down to
the bedrock in an effort to check the
fires.

.ADOP ton OF Two
AMENDMENTS URGED.
Dean Woods Of Agricultural School
Shows Where Merits Of Constitu-
tional Changes9 and 8 Lie.
TOUCH ALL CITIZENS CLOSELY
Will Aid Materially to Agricultural
Development Of State Improve
School and Swamp Lands.

In an interview today, Dean Woods
Of the Agricultural college express.
ed himself on the merits of the. con
Fstitutional amendments which will
come before the people on November
Bird 1.-TWO of tllem,'' he said, No.
and No. 9, are vital to the welfare
and development of our natural re-
sources. They are intimately inter
dependent and should. go together.
No. 3 provides for revolving fund,
to be set aside from our school funds,
for the development of roads ~and
bitches in our swamp lands. No.
makes it possible for the legislature
to retain the title to such of its
school lands as are unfit for farming
and make use of them as state forests
Worthy Of Support.
.'Both of these measures are en-
tirely worthy of the support of every
one In fact they both touch every
citizen Of the state very closely, for
their failure to pass will mean a
great financial loss to the state. The
failure of No. 9 will mean the loss
of revenue from portion of the state
lands for number of years to come
and ultimately the expense of buy
ing back these same lands in much
worse condition than they are at
present. This same thing has been
done in many other states, and it
would be inevitable here
1.-THE effect of the failure of No. 8, .
he continued, might be quite
serious. State Auditor Samuel G.
Iverson has stated that there are
thousands of acres of swamp land in
Minnesota to which the state has not
yet received title.
To Improve Lands.
''The passage of No. 8, as Attorney
General Smith well said, will permit
the state to improve the school and
swamp lands Of the state out of
moneys derived from the sale ofssuch'
lands, and bring the state into line
with the conditions of the Swamp
Land Grant as to drainage of such
lands. And it. will undoubtedly at
once secures this valuable land to
the state. Putting a small portion
of these funds into a. revolving fund
will cause the reclamation Of the
swamps, making the remaining lands
more valuable, and thus be last
ing benefit to all the people of the
state. r ss
ut is my opinion" Dean Woods
concluded, "that these two amend
ments, No. and No. 8, will add
very materially to the agricultural
of the state and should
have the hearty support of every cit
izen"

The 10000 offered in Saturdays Pioneer to any
charitable institution in Bemidj if r. A. Wilson could
prove the following statement to be true goes begging
Here is the statement taken from his Sentinel:
"Mr. Backus answered the letter promptly
and in that letter Mr. Backus gave the infor
nation that Mr. NOrd to be candiate.'
Instead Of producing the Backus letter SO that
the public might be the judge he writes letter to this
office in which he says that it is not paramount issue
to whether Mr.. Nord's name was contained in the
letter. but admitting thereby that the letter did not
mention the name of NOrd.
The fact of the matter is that at the time the letter
written r. p. Bennett had already expressed his
intention Of running and r. Macdonald Mr. Backus'

any one would conclude that the latter of the two
would be the choice of Mr.. Backus With these names

WAS WELL PA YED GAME;
Bemidii and Brainerd Battle to Score
less Tie in aridirpn Contest ]
Fought Here Saturday.
DAY AND JOHNSON ARE STARS

In one of the best played and hard
est fought games of football ever
played on a Bemdjii gridiron, the
high school elevens Of Brpinerd and
this city fought to scQreless tie Sat
urday afternoon. f.
With the championship at stake
the Bemidji boys, although out
weighed, battled with q determina-
ton to win and on several occasions
when the terrific play OF Brainerd
took the pigskin to within striking
distance of the goal line, the blue
and white would hold fpr downs and
by punts and the brillii int off-tackle
runs of Johnson, the, study half back.
take it out of danger. 5s
The Bemidji defensive play was the
feature of the entire contest and time
after time the Brainerd team, even
with accuracy of passing and strong
interference. was held for downs,
many times being thrown for heavy
losses. The work of Edwin Simons,
right tackle, as in previous games,
stood out prominently and he out
played his opponent from the first
blow of the whistle. Cameron, play
ing end, was one of the chief cogs in
the stonewall defense Of Coach Bees
tul's machine. and although playing
with a. cracked rib, received early in
the season, he was in every play and
deserves much credit for the show
ing made. Olson at center. played
brilliantly and he again demonstrated
that he has no equalaain northern
Minnesota high school football.
Bailey, the Bemidji right half, even
with painful injury received in the
first few minutes Of the game, played
his usual dependable game. Warfield,
second team man, playing full, was
power Of strength on the defense.
Every member Of the Bemidji team
played in championship form and
from end to end the line followed the
ball we'll and took advantage Of every
opportunity. Tanner. Gray, Swish
er and Walker did good work.
If individual stars are to be picked
they must be Johnson for Bemidji
and Day for Brainerd. "Fuzz" was
the main offensive strength of Be-
midi and occasions were rare when
his attempts at off-tackle bucks fail
ed to gain from three to twenty
yards. During the last half he car
ried the ball in at least two-thirds
of the plays. On the defense he also
tarred and twice he pulled the fleet
footed Day to the ground when a
count seemed unavoidable.
The work of Day, the Brainerd full
back, was nearly equal to that of
Johnson, and Bemidji had much trou-
Bile in stopping the plays which had
been built around him by Coach
Sherwood. Day is the player protest
ed by St. Cloud and Little Falls.
The game was one of the best con-
Quoted of any ever played here and
Referee Trafton and Umpire Jacob
son demonstrated that they under
stand the rules we'll, for there was
but little disputing of decisions. Both
teams played clean football and it
was game which held the interest
of the rooters throughout.
F0sston plays here next Saturday.

DANIELS PRAISES LEVY
FOR AGREEING TO SELL
Says Monticello, Home of Jefferson,
Should Be Kept Open for
Pilgrimages.

In a letter to Representative Levy of
New York. owner of Thomas Jefferson's
home Monticello Secretary Daniels
Of the Navy Department commends the
New York congressman for his willing
ness to relinquish the property.
The letter is in part as follows:
my occasional visits to Monticello
have caused me to feel that the home
of the author of the Declaration of In
dependence ought to be made a ma
tfonal mecca, owned and kept open for
pilgrimages to that shrine of liberty
and equality. The country owes you a
debt of gratitude for restoring the es-
tate to its original acreage when JEFF
ferson opened 1t to the throngs of pa
triots of all nationalities who visited
him in his retirement.
'It is equally grateful that you have
preserved the house, designed by Jeffer-
son, without change, so that as one en-.
ters through its portals he feels that he
is in communion with the sage and
prophet who made it the center of the
progressive thought of his day and the
inspiration Of progress and. liberty for
all time.
'It is gratifying to all disciples and
admirers of Jefferson to learn that YOU
are willing to relinquish the ownership
30 dear to you and permit it to become
the property of the American govern
ment. and I hope Congress may secure
1t to the people"
