WATER PROBLEM IS
GOING TO Be PLACED
. BEFORE THE VOTERS

The finance committee of the city
council held "a meeting last evening
and discussed plans for solving the
water problem of Bemidji
> 1t has practically been decided by
the committee to recommend that the
matter be taken squarely. up to the
people Of the city, with bond issue
to approximate $4,000 for the con-
struction of an adequate filter plant,
with crib in the center of Lake 1r-
vine and intake. ~
It is the plan to use $4,000 of
the money atathe outset to care for
the immediate necessity Of securing
sufficient water and use the rest later
as it can be reached. What is dras-
tically needed right now is sufficient
water and it's action is imperative.
The crib and intake will be first
constructed to insure the needed
supply and take care of the future
for many years. It has been esti-
mated Iby F. l.. Anders that $4,000
will place Bemidji in the front rank
of water systems.

s1000. The damage done by one wolf in Alaska, considering that we import $2,250,00O worth of meat, must amount annually to consider ably more than the damage done by one in the States.
 Hawks, owls, and eagles do as much damage to the fur bearers. either by eating the food of the fur bearer or the furbearer, as the wolf commits by his depredations on the caribou, sheep, goat or moose.
 Should the Federal Government pay a bounty of $10O on wolves, $5 on eagles, and $2.5O each on hawks, and owls, the money would return a profit of $1,0OO per cent. annually to Alaska. In addition, ten times as nancy people in Alaska and from the States could enjoy sport not easy to duplicate in any other part of the world.
 The bounty money would go to the men of the hills who are of primary importance in the development and permanent settlement of every new country.
 Urge the above.

None will attempt to dispute he fact that Alaska needs results Alaska will be skiing a great deal of the Government during the lext two years, and she wants to get results. She must get results.
 Let the business people of this Territory, the work ng people whose prosperity depends upon the pro ress of the country those who have homes here r who hope to get homes here, all who know that heir present future are tied up to Alaska, con- ider this situation seriously.

 Why, if man is the chief instru- ment in reducing the numbers of game and fur bearers, does not the country become overrun with these wild creatures in the regions where man has not intervened?
 Because flesh eating animals, prey ing on each other and on the veg etarians prevent this increase. In other words, the predatory animals are a greater factor in preventing the increase of game and fur bear CTS than man.
