REVIVAL MEETINGS ARE BEGUN
Evangelist Chapman breaches First
Sermon to Attentive Congregation

Evangelist Chapman opened the
three weeks series of evangelistic
meetings at the Baptist church last
evening, preaching from the text,
John 3:16, "For God so loved the
world that He gave His only begotten
Son that whatsoever believeth in Him
should not perish but have everlast-
ing life" Mr.. Chapman is a very
earnest and convincing speaker,
pulpit orator entirely devoid of SEN
sationalism and eccentricities which
so many of the travelling evangelists
possess. He talks with great energy
which grips his audience from the
very first and holds them to the last
word. A large chorus will be organ
lied to furnish the music under the
direction of Walter Chapman. The
chorus will sing tonight There will
be a service every evening this week
with the exception of Saturday. Mr..
Chapman will give Bible talks every
afternoon at the church at o'clock.
Everyone is invited to attend the af-
ternoon meetings. Service begins
each. evening at s o'clock. ''These
meetings are not UNCONVENTIONAL and
we invite everyone to attend. We
urge members of the other churches
to come and help during the cam
paign," said Rev. Alvord today.

KENNEDY WINS CONTEST

Mack Kennedy, in a decision filed
yesterday with Clerk of Court Palmer
of Cass county, by Judge B. F..
Wright, is declared the winner of the
sheriff contest which was brought
against him by w. p. Mohler,, the un-
successful candidate. Kennedy was
elected by the official count last No.
vember by majority of five votes.
Mohler called for a recount and the
majority, was reduced to one, the
defeated candidate then starting suit
to contest the election of Kennedy.
The trial took place before Judge
Wright and a large array Of legal
talent was secured, the case taking
up more than week of the courts
time. The count on which Judge
Wright bases his decision, gives Ken
nedy 1,217 to 1892 votes for Mohler.
Kennedy was at one time chief of the
Cass Lake police department. and for
four years was deputy sheriff under
Sheriff DeLury of Cass county. He
is a very popular official. Mohler,
it is understood, has been a candidate
for sheriff four times, being defeated
in each attempt to gain office.

START WORK ON ROAD 80,

E. A. Dahl & company, the Duluth
contractors, have announced that
they will send a man to Baudette on
March Is for the purpose of letting
sub-contracts on Road 3d.. which ex-
tends across the northern part of Bel
trami county. Sub-contracts will be
let for clearing and grubbing the
right of way, and also for the ditch
ing on parts of the road where the
bitches are to be constructed by
handwork. The settlers along the
right of way will be given preference
on this work. In a letter to Middle
ton & Middleton, Baudette attorneys,
President Dahl indicated a desire, so
far as possible, to let the work of hand
ditching to the persons who do the
clearing and grubbing. Road 80 is
known as the Elwell highway and
will extend from Clementson to
Roosevelt, and is to be completed the
coming summer. Regardless of the
action of the legislature, this road
will be built. If the Elwell law
should be repealed it will not affect
roads on which the contracts have
been let.

Serena Helen Blue Of Turtle lake
Pays Ten Cents for Homestead
Recently Proved Up.
IS EXEMPT FROM RESIDENCE

Miss Serena Blue, ~: years old,
we'll known in Bemidji because of her
frequent business trips here, recently
visited the government land office at
Cass Lake and paid ten cents for a
deed to her homestead on Turtle
Lake, this county.
Miss Blues homestead consists Of
triangular point of land jutting in
to the lake, l89 feet long and 38 feet
wide. The entire area of the home
stead is eight-hundredths of an acre,
and the land office authorities say it
probably is the smallest entry ever
proved up.
To comply with the homestead law
and obtain patent to her land, Miss
Blue built log house, 14x16 feet,
and lived in it for seventeen months.
The 10 cents paid mi oAthes landspfiee
was the price fixed by the govern
ment for committing the entry to
cash.
In consideration of the 10 cents she
will not be required to complete the
three years of residence on the land
that otherwise would have. been re-
CURED. She cultivated and grew to-
matoes, carrots and clover on nearly
half the area of the lot last year.

providing attractive nests in the
parks and along the lake shore. DR..
G. M. Palmer, member of the school

anclal support given by Schneider

lows: To the high school boys for
the construction of the best colony

Washington, March 1O.-Is Russia
to get from Japan, what Germany is
alleged to have n-diplomatical-
ly-from Russia, namely, the port of
Kiaochow? Is Japan to make this
return to Russia, her present ally, for
having taken Port Arthur. -
Representative w. D. B. Ainey, of
Pennsylvania, has such an idea. On
his return from a rather extensive
trip through the Far East, Siberia
included, he is impressed with the
continued growth of Russia and be-
lieves that nation will be least hurt
by the war. =. "
Russia a Factor. >
1T may be- he says, 8 that the
weight of influence will slip away
from Europe, passing beyond the
Ural mountains and find Judgment
among the peoples of Asia. Out of
this war, Russia, with her great, re-
souces, is likely to emerge least
harmed of any great power. Russia
territorially is largely Asiatic; ethno-
logically, she is allied in large mea-
sures with the Orient. Russia, slow
moving, ponderous Russia, that has
been notching up in all these cen
turtles until she now occupies one
sixth of the land area Of the world
with 8,417,OOO square miles of ter

Atlantic to the, Pacific and from the
Attic almost to, the Indian ocean;
Russia with a population of 85,000,-
600 people; Russia with railroad
extending 5000 miles across the con-
tinents of Asia and Europe; Russia
that can put under arms from 20 to

churia; accompanying it there was
an undoubted purpose to build the
Kalgan railroad from Lake Baikal to

this road to Kiachow, thus giving her

1T was about this time that Ii
Hung Chang made his celebrated trip

and Germany became aware of Rus
sia's purpose The murder of two
Lutheran missionaries on the Shan

text. Germany seized Kiachow and
Russia swallowed her chagrin, taking
Port Arthur as a consultation. This
crowded her against Japan. The re-
suit is we'll known. Today Russia
and Japan find themselves in accord
