Word is received from Washington
that there is no prospect of the south
half of the Colville Indian reservation
being opened to settlement this year.
Notwithstanding all the preliminary
work, such as allotting and classify
ing, has been completed for months
the Indian department shows no dis
position to fix date for opening for
occupation. AS was stated in these
columns few weeks ago bills father
into a forest reserve, excluding its
use to the settler, in conflict with the
act OF congress providing for the OPEN
ing of the reservation. This is really
monstrous proposition considering
what a large portion of the county is
already tied up in forest reserve, clos
ed to settlement and providing no rev.
enue in the way of taxation. The
Washington delegation in congress has
been persistent in efforts to have a
GATE fixed for the opening of this res
ervation. but it seems that no influence

AS such liquidation is even beyond
the fantasy of dreams the unlucky
miner will continue to be bled until
the old bills are balanced. There is
nc redress for the man who bears the
burden, but there should be some
means to prevent a repetition of such
cruel injustice.

One of the handsomest publications
bearing upon the resources and at
fractions of the state, valuable both
to the tourist and prospective settlers
is a book just issued from the state
printing office by the state bureau of
statistics and immigration, compiled
by Harry F. Giles, deputy commits
sloner, and entitled The Beauties of
the state of Washington. 1t is an ar
tistic piece of workmanship as to let
ter press and illustrations, the color
ed views being exceptionally beauti-
full. Aside from its general attractive
appearance the book contains timely
information relative to all parts of
the state, and as guide for tourists,
and an advertisement for the state, it
is invaluable. Among the illustrations
Okanogan county has not been over
looked. There are views of the Sim
ilkameen river near Oroville, Patter-
son lake in the Methow valley, a farm
scene in the Methow, site of Fort Okla
hogan, the first white settlement in
Washington, and the Ellis-Forde Or
chards in the Okanogan valley. The
bureau responsible for this publica-
ton is to be congratulated upon the
excellency and thoroughness of the
work. Without question it's circula-
ton will prove greatly advantageous
to the entire state. The information
condensed and put in readable
shape is what strangers looking to-
ward Washington as a prospective
home are after. Any one desir-
ing a copy of this work will be suppl

There has been much speculation in
the press of the country over what
will come out of Germany's proclama-
ton designating the sea about the
coasts OF France and England as with
in the war zone and dangerous for
navigation to neutral shipping. Ger
many was to put that threat into ex-
ecution on the 18th of this month and
If rigidly enforced complications may
arise between the United States and
Germany. The situation is in no wise
improved by the sinking of an Ameri-
can steamer, which occurred within
the war zone Friday. The steamer
came in contact with one of the num-
erous mines sown thick in the waters
adjacent to the countries engaged in
hostilities, and which are a constant
menace to shipping of all nations.
The responsibility for the sinking of
the American vessel may never be
fixed, as both England and Germany
are carrying on that mode of naval
warfare, but the simple fact that any
vessel sailing for foreign port is in
danger of destruction from these sub
merged mines will arouse a feeling
OF antagonism in this country, and the
government will be fortunate indeed
if nothing more serious than the ex-
change of diplomatic correspondence
grows out OF the situation. War
should be avoided if it can be in any
possible way without complete sur
render of the rights, honor and dig
ed by the Indian department are pend

ing the little timber on the reservation

Our Slogan:
"Bemidji $4,000
Population
in 1925"

Twelve counties in Minnesota have
been voted "dry" by the provisions
of the county option law and it seems
likely that five more will be added
to the list when Douglas, Fillmore,
Jackson, Mobiles and Rock vote next
Monday. The elections have illus
trated conclusively that the wave of
prohibition is of great strength and
act as forecast showing that the
entire country is soon to be "dry."
Option has carried in the following
counties: Chisago, Clay, Isantt,
Kanabec, Kandiyohi, Lyon, Lincoln,
Carlton, Polk, Roseau, Swift and
Yellow Medicine. Contests were
made in Clay, Polk, Carlton and Lin
coin. In Lincoln, located in the
southwestern part of the state, county
option carried by only thirty-one
votes, while in the northern counties
it has in all instances carried by
large majorities, showing that this
section of the state is not as wild as
our southern friends would believe.

A New Use For tho Manure Spreader.
A simple adjustment, according to
the United States department of agri-
culture, will enable the farmer to use
his manure spreader when desitable
as a wagon for. bringing in root crops
intended for stock feed. The cylinder
or spreader is first removed from the
end of the box and suitable end
boards set}in place and held by an iron
bar or rod. At the door of the root
cellar the end board can be readily
lifted out and the crank which con-
meets with the apron shift put on. The
roots can then be readily rolled through
the door by turning the crank by hand.
In this way the load can be delivered
in a few moments.
The advantages of this scheme are
obvious, for under ordinary circum-
stances the manure spreader is idle
while the harvest is in progress.

have rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment; the channels
often get irritated, obliging you to get

The Rural Delivery.

There are now about $4,000 routes
of the rural delivery service in the
United States, covering over 1,000,-
600 miles of roads and serving ap-
proximately 100000 people.
Through this great system the farm
er receives and sends out his letters,
gets his newspapers and other pub
locations, obtains money orders and
registers mail, and now, by parcel
post, exchanges merchandise all
without trip to the postoffice.
The rural delivery service has been
a great boon to the rural population.
Before its establishment there were
days and weeks when, because of
stress of work on the farm, stormy
weather or other conditions the farm
er was unable to make trip to the
postoffice, and had to do without
mail, which means that he was with.
out knowledge of what was going on
in the world. The exchange of letters.
receipt of newspapers and other pub
LEGATIONS, the transaction of money
orders and registry business, and now
the parcel post, all through the rural
carrier, has workeds wonders in max
ing the farmers business more
sprofitable and country life1more, at
0tractiYe. The saving to the rural
residents throughothez operation OF
.the1 riralidelivery system, lit fita could
be calculated, swould NM into; the
hundreds.ofgminio of1dollars. Farm
ers do not now haveItn abandon their
work and take their horses from the
plows to go to the postoffice after the
mail, but can devote all their slime
during the planting and harvesting
seasons: to their occupations, and
conduct correspondence and secure
supplies with certainty and without
the loss of time. -:
Besides, whenever a rural route liz
established on, a road it means that
unless that road is maintained in: con-
.ditions to be travelled with -facilitysat
all times, service will be withdrawn
therefrom. Generally speaking, the
highways of the United States are
poor. The fact docs not seem to be
appreciated that the building , and
maintenance of good roads, enables
farmers. to market their produce with
greater facility. greater regularity,
and with less wear, and tear on wag-
ons and stock. Since, the advent of
rural delivery, there has been moth
ing Viii CHI has, given greater impetus
TO- the good roads movement than the
extension of this service.
