baco algunas que otras frutas; para
miel de avejas, cera, cacao, algod6n, Sc
;bo de res, cueros, pieles de cabra 8 chi
vo, ETC., ETC., solamente recuerdan los
Mego oiantes nuestra Isla, cuando Sc
presenta en el mercado un pequeho To-
te, que sin grandes esfuerzos Sc realiza,
sin demostrar empeno los compradores
por obtenerlo, dada su poca importan-
cia.
ST ell desmedido egoismo, no hubiera
precipitado al pequefo agricultor, no
solamente dedicar la corta extension
de terreno de su pertenencia al cultivo
de la cana, 81 no acaparar la del We
cino, 81 sus economicas condolences Sc
10 permiten, guiado por logico afan de
una utilidad mayor, no cabe dudar que,
la production de art1culos secundarios,
dar1a un notable contingente. a la ex-
portaci6n puertorriquefia, como la da,
comparativamente, en- las Rep1blicas
H..
El pequeho agricultor, convertible en-
colono de corporaciones azucareras, no
habra dejado de recordar con verda-
dera amargura, durante la pasada cri-
sis, su siembra de habichuelas, su tall
ia de ma1z, su batatal cercano a la
casa, sus surcos de yuca, con la cual sa-
caba sus diez ounce saquitos de al
mid6n; y ALA, a la orilla de la quebrada,
su bosquecito de platanos que, no sola-
mente producia para las necesidades de
la familia, 81 no para mandar al pueblo
un d1a que otro, media docena de raci-
mos que produc1an, media docena de
pesetas, y con elias adquirir el arroz, ell
toclno y la arenque, con que hacer mas
llevadera la batata y ell malango.
Sin contar con que, tras del cercadi-
to de la casa, hab1a media docena de
colmenas que daban 10 suyo, en- miel y
cera, sin exigir otro especial cuidado,
que ell que las muchachas de la casa
dedican sus flores y hierbas olorosas
y medicinales.
7 as1, pudieramos ir citando infni-
dad de detalles que constitufan el bic
nestar de muchos pequenos agriculto-
res que, sin Cos codiciosos precios del
producto de la cana, no hnbieran pasa-
do los reveces de la lamentable crisis
pasada, habiendo aumentado sin duda
alguna, la exportacion de secundarios
productos.

LARCENY CASE ON TRIAL
Action of State of Minnesota Versus
Call England Now in District Court
Jury is Secured.
TRY JoHNsRUD CASE AGAIN

Testimony in the case of State of
Minnesota against Call England, a
Bemidji insurance man, began before
Judge B. F. Wright in district court
this morning, the jury having been
secured shortly before noon.
England is accused of grand lar
ceny in the second degree. He is
charged with having appropriated
money collected for insurance prem
iums for his own use. Graham NJ.
Torrance. county attorney, is rep
resenting the state in the case while
Henry Funkley appears for the de-
PENDANT. =
While it had been expected that
the case now on trial, which is the
only criminal action to be tried at
this term, would constitute the last
jury trial, it, appears likely that the
matter. of Margrethe Johnsrud
against Martin Sandmerk. Martin
Teigland and Gedeon Olson will be
tried. This is the case in which false
Imprisonment is charged. The case
was tried earlier in the term but the
jury disagreed.

MUCH POWER. DEVELOPED
More Water Than Necessary Secured
at Warfeld Dam-lce Left Lake
Bemidji Early in 1910. -.
DATES GIVEN FOR EIGHT YEARS

-
One thousand horsepower is now
being developed at the plant of the
Warfeld Electric company at the
dam, this being nearly twice as much
as is necessary to drive the dynamo.
The water is high, as is usually the
case at this time of the year. p g..
The use of water for power at the
plant depends largely on ice condi-
lions in Lake Bemidji and the Mis-
sissippi river Charles Warf1eld, q
member of the company, says that
when ice leaves Lake Bemidji that the
river between here and Lake Itasca
is also clear. 81.
Mr.. Warfield has in his Office in
teresting information concerning the
dates on which ice has left Lake Be-
midi during the past eight years.
In 1914 the lake was clear Of ice on
May q; in 1913 on April Is; in 1912
on April %; in 1911 on April "a; in
1910 on April A.; in 1909 May II
and in 1907 on May 10.
Andrew Warf1eld perhaps broke all
records for early trips on Lake Be-
midji when on March 81, 1910. he
went to the dam in his launch. There
was considerable ice in the lake but
the wind had taken it to the north
end. ~.

MORE VOTES NEEDED
TO PASS BOND ISSUE

There is great danger that the bond
issue, the purpose of the special cleo
ton which is being held today, will
fail to carry, this being shown by the
lack of interest which is being taken
at the polls. -.
At noon less than 100 votes had
been cast in the four wards of the
city. The passage of the issue is i'm
portant and every citizen of Bemidji
should be public spirited enough to
cast his ballot.
Money secured from the issuing
of bonds will be used for the retiring
of nearly 100000 in unpaid war
rants and will save the city two per
cent interest annually. 1t will in no
wise increase the city's debt. City
warrants are now being cashed at a
discount of ten per cent.
The bonds will be sold to the
state at four per cent interest. Should
the bond issue fail to carry and the
city left without money for the pay
ment of outstanding warrants it will
place the officials in an extremely Sc
rious situation as much difficulty will
be encountered in disposing of war
rants on overdrawn funds.
The polls will be open till 8 this
evening and every citizen should feel
interested enough in the welfare Of
the city to at least show his prefer
