"The Birth of Nation" may be
generally covered" as follows:
There are twelve reels of vivid,
realistic spectacles which tell the
story of double romance, which ex-
plains the attitude of the North and
the defense of the stubborn South
over the slave issue, and which carry
one through scenes of the long, cruel
war, its message to the world being
Liberty and Union, one and insep-
erable."
Col. Stoneman of the North is in
love with the sister of Col. Cameron
of the South. And Col. Cameron is
infatuated with the sister of. Col.
Stoneman. These romances are de-
picted before the war and the views
show how the drawing of lines and
the commencement of war worked
esstrangemens distress and hardship
on the young lovers and members of
their families.
Brave young men embrace their
mothers, sisters and sweethearts and
depart for army service, their emo
tions being depicted in their resolute
faces. The pictures also show pa
triotic women at home sewing and
knitting for the soldiers. r...
F. The magic films reveal the inter-
iors of Northern and Southern homes.
One sees vast armies mustered to
march away to war. T
In a twinkling the scene changes
and the sun shines brightly on a
snowy cotton field in the south, with
scores Of negroes of all ages pluck
ing the white blossoms. Festive lit
tie picaninnies caper about and at
nightfall in cabin quarters singing
and dancing are indulged in by the
slaves. Bondage is visualized with it's
SORROWS and it's joys. AS the war
progresses great battles are fought
and the thrilling action from rifle fire
to cavalry clashes and artillery duels
is depicted in pictorial form as true
to life as it is possible for human
agency to simulate.
Scenes are unfolded in which fully
$4,000 soldiers and 5000 cavalry, the
largest theatrical army ever assem-
bled, are active in the performance
of the good and bad deeds of war
fare. One sees a bayonet charge
with a culver of excitement and
closes his eyes at the sight of the
dying and dead. Ambulance drivers
arrive to carry away the fallen and
hospitals throw doors open to re.
ceive the injured. Gentle nurses fiji
from cot to cot to minister to the
wants of the patients.
Historic scenes are depicted with
realistic effect, ranging from battle
| engagements, such as the battle OF
Gettysburg, the siege of Petersburg
Sherman's march to the sea and thu
fall of Atlanta, to events in Wash
ingtOn. 49,

when war is declared, words are

eral manager of the M. & I. railwa,
company, last evening while visitor
in the city. This was his reply tc
a question by Pioneer representa-.
tive asking him whether or not he
had anything to say about the action
OF the city council in deciding to con.
struct the Nymore highway up to the
lake shore and to open up Second
street.
1T is for us to act," said Mr.. Gem
nell. He stated that the M. & l.
legal forces were mobilized and that
when the city unlawfully interfered
in any way with the company's prop
erty, the railroad company would act
quickly and effectively. - - 80, i
Mr.. Gemmell stated that he did not
believe that~the citizens OF Bemfdji
understood the merits of the contro.
versy.

If the people understood the con.
troversy they would certainly not ap.
prove of the action of the city coun-
Gil which will involve the city in
needless delay and expense" said
Mr.. Gemmell.
The M. & l., according to a pro.
pOsal made at the council meeting are
willing that the lake shore highway
be constructed on Third street as pei
their plans, but will refuse to allow
the opening of Second street. They
prefer the repairing of the present
crossing, which is admittedly dan.

Bonds to Individuals.

Bonds to Individuals.
1t is reported that the debt of the
county is more than $2,OOO,OOO, for
which bonds have been sold to pri-
vate purchasers.
AS one of the new counties of the
state, Koochiching county has been
constructing numerous bitches and
roads, and in doing so has bonded it.
self to the limit. While exact figures
are not available, the belief is that
the bonding limit has even been ex-
ceeded.
Much of the money obtained has
been at a high rate of interest and
in disposing of bonds excessive agent
commissions have been paid. Under
the law county bonds cannot be sold
below par, but agents may be en-
ployed in selling and in doing so the
law has practically been violated.
Case of Misjudgement.
1--WE have been asked to inquire
into the financial affairs of Koochi-
ching county," said Attorney General
Smith at st. Paul today, land from
all accounts the conditions there are
most distressing. OF course, the first
thing in mind would be some GRIM
inal act on the part of those in
charge, but believe the whole thing
is more case of misjudgment than
anything else. Expected state aid,
I think, is at the bottom of the trou-
BILE. Another things is, the county
is new, and in all such cases there
is generally more or less laxity on
the part of those who have charge Of
it's affairs. 1 am going up there in
an effort to straighten out the tangle
and l hope to be successful"
misunderstanding Cause.
From what Attorney General
Smith can learn the county officials
are either laboring under the impress
sion that state aid is available or will
be granted by some future legislation
and have been building numerous
bitches and charging much of the cost
against state lands benefited. In ad-
dition to the bitches many miles of
road have been built under the Ell
we'll act and these also have been
charged against the property bene-
fitted. According to the attorney gen.
eral, state lands cannot be assessed
and, while this might be met by
charging the cost to purchasers of
these lands, the assessments only tend
to keep them off the market. Seekers
of state land, he says, will not buy
in Koochiching county because of the
struction of roads they are strictly
an internal improvement and no part
of their cost can be met by tax on
the state treasury.
Some Have Grown Rich.
Practically all the bonds issued by
Koochiching county are in the hands
of private investors. Very little mon
ey has been secured from the state
trust fund. Much of this bonded In
debtedness from all accounts has
been quoted at high rate OF inter-
est and at cost that has greatly en-
riched those instrumental in bring
ing about the issue and securing its
sale. There are said to be other ir-
regularities, but they are of minor
nature. There are thousands of acres
of state land in the county, but be-
cause of the encumbrances mention
ed sales of these lands have been few.
In the opinion of the attorney gen.
eral it may be necessary for the next
legislature to come to the rescue not
only of Koochiching county but OF
other counties similarly situated.

over 1900 bushels, of potatoes with
the Matanuska farmers. Products are
being hauled by the farmers to Mata-
nuska and shipped over the railroad to
Anchorage and other points along the
line. There is still room for large
number of homesteaders in the yicini-

hopes to encourage farmers from the
states to come to Alaska and take up
homesteads in the territory tributary
to the railroad in order to develop the
agricultural lands so that the country
may some day in the near future be
self-supporting.
