BUSINESS MEN ACT IN CRISIS
Proposals Urge Circulation of Petitions
Demanding designations of Mayor
and Village Council.

Hibbing, Aug. 2.-As Mayor Victor
L. Power Of Hibbing was preparing to
leave for ST. Paul where he says he
will ask the Governor for militia to
take the place of Hibbing fire and po-
licemen and for special session of
the Legislature to pass laws to per-
NIT the prosecution Of mining COM
panies, business men of Hibbing met
in private and discussed several pro-
posals to relieve the financially strick-
en- richest village in the world"
One of the proposals strongly urged
was the circulation of a petition de-
manding that the mayor and entire
village council resign their places and
surrender the government of the vii
lage to citizens committee pending
the election of new officials.
Another was that a committee of
merchants wait on the mayor before
any drastic action is taken, and ascer-
tain what his intention is and what
the chances Of adjusting the difficult
ties may be. A third was that before
anything be done, the situation be
submitted to mass meeting of all
Hibbing business men.

TO FIGHT CLOSING ORDER
Saioonkeepers of Grand Rapids Start
Court Proceedings at Bemi5ii-
Seek Injunction

Bemidji, Mimi, July 31.-As a re-
suit of legal procedure started here
on behalf of saloonkeepers at Grand
Rapids, all saloons in Bemidji and
other places now closed under the
provisions of the Indian treaty of
1856, may be reopened.
A restraining order prepared on be-
half of the Grand Rapids saloonkeep-
ers further seeks to obtain an injunc-
tion preventing the government from
carrying out it's announced intention
of closing the Grand Rapids saloons,
on the grounds that there is no longer
a sufficient number of Indian wards
in the affected territory to enforce
the treaty provisions.
The Injunction proceedings will be
heard before Judge C. w. Stanton at
Bemidji on August II. Attorney E.
E. Mcdonald Of BemidH and Mayor
Power Of Hibbing are assisting w.
w. Barron Of Grand Rapids in the
case. Attorney Barron was in Bemid-
j., but neither he nor Mr. Mcdonald
would discuss the case and neither
would the government officials.

CLAIMS OFFICE B0YCOTTED
Postmaster at vIning Complains 6usi-
ness Men Combine to Reduce
His Pay-Recalls Quarrel.

Fergus Falls-T. II. Froslee, post
master at Vining, complains that his
office is being Systematically boycott
ed by some leading business men of
that village. After he was appointed
postmaster at Vining in February last,
he says, certain firms began mailing
all their letters on the train. He ap-
pealed to the railway mail clerks and
was allowed to go aboard the trains
to cancel the stamps on letters that
ordinarily would be mailed in his Of
fee. This Froslee did because his pay
is based on the number Of cancella-
tions.
On learning the postmaster was can
ceiling stamps on the train, Froslee
says, the business men began sending
letters to Henning each day, and even
mailed letters for the Vining rural
routes at the Henning postoffice, pre-
ferring to have them sent out day
late rather than permit Froslee to
procure the cancellations. They also
arranged with travelling men to post
their mail in some cases, 1t is said.
Froslee had a quarrel with the
Lunds State bank, the only bank at
Vfning, a few years ago, and at that
time transferred his account to Hen
ming. The bank later sent report to
a commercial agency affecting Fros.
lees financial and personal standing,
and he brought suit against it. This
quarrel is factor in the attitude
toward the postmaster, it is said.

STATE NEWS IN BRIEF
NEWSPAPER EDITORS MEET
Ready for Annual Excursion
Visit to Iron Range Planned.

Minneapolis. - Newspaper editors
from all sections of Minnesota are
meeting in Minneapolis for the annual
excursion of the Northern Minnesota
Editorial association. Secretary A. G..
Rutledge estimates that 200 people
will participate in the tour, as invi-

and responses are coming in rapidly.
Two days will be spent sightseeing
in and around Duluth, including two
boat trips, and one day will be spent
on the iron range, with citizens of
the embattled village of Hibbing as
hosts at dinner. The editors, who
are like one big family, are preparing
for a hilarious time.
j. c. Morrison, of Morris, president.
and Herman Roe, of Mortified, sec
retary, will be on the trip; also pres.
ident and originator of the "Newspa-
Per Week idea. All members of the
Newspaper Week" committee are to

Community Enterprise.

Northfeld.-More than 1,4O0 people
witnessed Northfeld's first water car
nival. So popular is the event that it
has been added to the list of commun-
ity enterprises and will be made an
annual affair.
There were canoe races, singles and
doubles, swimming races for men,
boys and girls; diving contests for all
classes; canoe fitting, and, as a eli
max, a parade of decorated and illumi-
mated canoes and boats. There was a
full field of entries in every event and
keen competition with some good rec

The water carnival marks the close
of the first year of service of the pub

600 people have used them. They
serve as a public playground for the
children and swimming lessons are
given every day by salaried instruc-

The carnival was held under the d..

Rocky Roads of China.

We all know the description of the
snakes in Ireland: There are none"
and much the same might be said
about the roads in China. There are
so-called roads, certainly, upon which
the people move about, but / have
seldom met one that was any better
than the surrounding country, and
very. very often on this journey /
met roads where it was ease and lux
ury to move off them on to the neigh
boring plowed field. The recipe for
a road there in the North seems to
be: "kTae piece of the country that
is really too bad to plow or to use for
any agricultural purposes whatever,
that a mountain torrent. in fact,
has given up as too much for the
water, upset stone wall over it, a
stone wall with good large stones in it.,
take care they never for moment lie
evenly, and you have your road.-Wide

TAKE PLEASURE IN HAGGLING
That Accrue From the Sense
of Bargaining.

"Mornin' time, bargain time!" calls
out one Of the peddlers by the way
side in Tibet cneerfully as he sees
you returning from a glimpse Of the
SHOWS at sunrise. You bid him come
to you, and from one of the innumer-
able pockets concealed in his volu-
minous robe he will produce perfect
little jade cup, or Tibetan coffee
pot, or gold copper and precious
stones, or perhaps huge lump of
rough turquoise hewn to look like a
couch with tiny gold Buddha reclin-
ing on it.
Then comes the bargaining, in which
he and all his frieeds take part against
your single SELF
1t can all be done by signs and
smiles and patience and in the long
run you will get some things well
worth having at very reasonable
price.
But yon must have no false pride
about bargaining. 1t is an elementary
part of these peoples nature, and the
Joy of selling will leave them forever
when the day of haggling is done.

A. Meyer. who left one Of the best
Counties in Minnesota, probably be-
cause he got good price for his ex-
cellent farm, and left for the Canadian

worth repeating. He says:
ITO say l was greatly surprised

berta would be expressing 1t mildly.
In country where so much suffering
was reported. l found everyone In
good circumstances, and especially
all our friends who have left Clearwa-
ter and Polk counties. They all have
good homes and those who were re-
ported to have sold their stock through
lack OF feed, found with their barns
full OF stock. and it did not look very
much like hard times. They have
from 160 acres to two sections of the
finest land that can be found.
Those that left here two or three
years ago have from 100 to 400 acres
IN crops this year.
Prospects for a bumper crop are
splendid. 1t is a little cold now, but
nothing is frosted, either in gardens
or fields. Land can be bought quite
reasonably here from those who vol
unteered their services in the Euro
