Crookston Lumber Co. Has Played Big
Part in Development of Beltrami
and Koochiching Counties.
MOST OF LAND OFFERED IS CUT

In the development of Beltrami
county the Crookston Lumber COM
pany has been prominently identi-
fed and by it's method of selling cut
over land many settlers have been
brought into this county. Land
which the company has logged has
been offered at low prices and on
easy terms, bringing much benefit to
the county
This concern, which operates two
large mills in Bemidji, has sold co.
600 acres of land in Beltrami, Koo-
chiching and Itasca counties. This
was mostly cutover property and
nearly all was sold to actual settlers
who are now developing it.
AS an added incentive to settlers
who contemplate taking up their
homes in Northern Minnesota, lands
can be obtained on advantageous
terms, the payments extending over
a long term of years.
The Crookston Lumber company
which is still logging in the north
has approximately 10000 acres OF
land left. This land is being placed
on the market as fast as the trees
are cut.

Occures in Albania and Contains Pos
abilities Of Disturbance to Peace
Conference After War
ROMAN CLAIMS ARE.PARAlfOUNT
Serbia and Montenegro Not Consider
ed BY Italy il Bargaining With
Allies Germans Repulsed
BY ]. W. T. MASON.

New York, July 3.-A clash Of an
Itagonistic interests between the. slays
land Italians has occurred in Albania
containing possibilities Of disturbance
Ito the peace: conference after the
Iwar.
Albania's geographical position
across the Adriatic sea, opposite the
southeastern extremity of Italy, has
caused the Roman government to In
lsist that Italian interests in Albania
Eare paramount. Otherwise, the Adri-
attic cannot become an Italian Lake.
Showed No Interest.
Until Italy became a beligerent,
i:neither Serbia nor Montenegro show
ed any interest in the Albanian sit
fuation: The natural military Of
fensive Of the two Balkan kingdoms
is rather in the opposite direction
Through Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The only intelligable reason, in fact,
why the Slavs should strike at AL
bania is because it is becoming neces-
| sary for them to possess defensive
weapon which may compel Italy to
moderate her anti-Slavonic policy.
A large part of the territory which
Italy hopes to annex as her part of
the war loot is inhabited almost en-
tirely by Slavs.
Not Worth Considering
The serious military situation in
Galicia doubtless compelled Russia
to refrain from pressing her objec-
lions to-. Italy's expansionist policy
when the Rome government was
seeking its price for Intervention
but the stipulations in the bond do
not seem to have been signed by
Serbia or Montenegro. It is prob
able Italy did not believe those
countries worth considering in her
bargaining with the Allies.
Germans Repulsed.
enhancing from ka Bassee, Prus-ss
sian troops attempted to storm the
English positions in the brickyards
along the Bethune road. They were
thrown back in confusion. Success
sive attacks failed to gain ground.
Other German forces attempted to
rush the French along the Angres-
Ablain road. They were. repulsed
easily and retired. ~.
The official communique this after
noon again referred to the use of.
asphyxiating gases by the Germans
in the Argonne. Dispatches said
all these onslaughts have met with
only temporary success.

SPRING FROSTS CAUSED
LITTLE INJURY IN CANADA

Winnipeg, Man., July 3.-June
frosts did not seriously injure wheat
in this great wheat district, accord
ing to experts today. Snow fell, in
Saskatchewan and frost in the Prince
Albert and the Aberdeen districts
were very severe. Wheat, however,
had gained good lead over it's con-
dition at the same time last year, and
although the cold was of course set
back, it did not put the wheat be-
hind it's normal condition. ~.

SETTLERS REQUEST
THAT LE Y RED
LAKE Be Lon =
Recent Rains Have Completely Flood
ed Many Farms of Tamarac River
District Crops Total Loss.
APPEAL SENT TO JUDGE STANTON
Homes Surrounded by Water and
Farmers Save Livestock With Diff
culty-Ditch May Solve Problem

Many people can little appreciate
the suffering which is being endured
by settlers in the Waskish country
east of Upper Red Lake, as a result
of the terrific rains which have de
luged this country, and in fact nearl!
all of the continent east of the Rock,
mountains, during the past severa
weeks.
Settlers owning farms on the Tam
arac river have lost nearly all Of
their crops, their hay meadows being
flooded to such an extent that they
are total loss. The judicial bitches
running into the Tamarac have only
aided it in doubling it's power tc
cause destruction and with Upper
Red Lake, into which it empties
higher than ever before, no outlet il
to be found.
Appeal to District Judge.
So serious are the floods that many
settlers have been compelled to move
from their homes, while others are
living in houses surrounded by water
and with the floors wet and damp
Several settlers have met with diff
Guilty in saving their livestock and
cows in several instances were made
to swim to places of safety during
the storms of Saturday and Sunday.
A petition, signed by many set
tiers, has been received by Judge G.
w. Stanton, an appeal being made
that he take some action whereby re-
lief may be secured.
A New Ditch to Be Built.
Engineer Kibby of Koochiching
county has just completed an esti-
mate of the construction of ditch,
known as No. 20, which will prob
ably be erected south of the Tamarac
river which will prove great bene-
fit. This, according to O. L. Dent,
ditch referee, will partially solve the
problem of drainage. sf~.sa . '@Ss y Y
Beck Makes Plea.
P. P. Beck, who today proved up
on a homestead of 100 acres four
miles south Of the Tamarac, pleads
that something be done Immediately
to relieve the sufferers. He says
that the level of Upper Red Lake is
the cause of most Of the damage,
making it impossible for the Tam
arac river to care for. it's burden. He
was accompanied by Ole Olson, an
other homesteader, who is certain to
lose his entire crop of hay. Nearly
all of the meadow lands, worth thou
sands of dollars, will prove worthless
this year. They urge that some
move be started which will result in
the Red Lake level being lowered,
even though it be necessary to dredge
the Red Lake river. The broadened
Tamarac is practically on level with
the Red Lake.
