Afghts From Train and IL
Confronted With Canadian
ThistIes; Amazed.

- G. G.. Winters, who had headquar-
tiers in Bemidji in 1913 and 1914,
now Of Minneapolis and in charge Of
alls scutover land for the Crookston
Lumber company, was in Bemidji to-
day on business and said that many
inquiries had been received by his
office from Montana for sheep and
cattle pasturage, and also that sever
al good offers of land tracts had
been received. e.
zone of the great difficulties" !"
explained Mr.. Winter, lis that tracts
offered generally are not fenced and
to place several hundred or several
,thonsand sheep on, them, would mean
that the stock would invade land
owned by farmers and settlers. "A
sheep herder from Montana would
have a difficult time in rounding
up his sheep in the forests and brush,
although the lands are ideal for graz
ing and forage. A sheep herder
usually sits upon knoll out on the
plains and by motion Of his hand
directs the sheep. They recognize
the motions.
However, it is a great asset to
Minnesota and Beltrami county.
The only thing to do for those hav-
ing pasturage for Montana stock Is
to get in direct touch with sheep
and cattle growers, and tell what
the land consists of in detail. 1t is
one of the greatest advertisements
Minnesota ever had and shows that
this state is ideal for raising sheep
and CATTLE"
Changing the subject, Mr.. Winter
spoke of the immense spread Of the
Canada thistle in that country and
also the spread of the noxious weed
crops in northwest states, this de-
structive weed being tough propo-
sition to get rid Of.
"You've got good crop Of the
Canada thistle right in the heart OF
Bemidji," asserted Mr.. Winter, land
your city should take immediate ac-
ton. When I got off the train this
morning the first thing I saw was a
heavy crop Of Canada thistle in de-
preston surrounded by pavement
and it is going to seed and will
be- spread broadcast, if not given
attention. That ought not to be al
lowed to exist for an instant"

PRESIDENTS ADDRESS

Washington, Aug. 9.-Addressing 6
congress late yesterday and propos-
ing remedies to check the high cost
of living, President Wilson declared
that existing laws are Inadequate and
that high prices are not justified by
shortage Of supplies, present or pros
pective but have been created in
many cases "artificially and deliber-
ately" by "vicious practices"
The president recommended that
the food control act be extended to
peace time operation and that con-
gress exclude from interstate as we'll
as intrastate shipment goods which
do not comply with its provisions.
Urges Penalty for Profiteers.
The president also recommended
that the food law be provided with
a substantial penalty for protiteering
and that a cold storage law be en-
acted modelled after the law of New
Jersey by which time limit be
placed on cold storage. -.
He. also recommended that all
goods released from cold storage be
marked: with the price prevailing
when they went into storage. He
further recommended that goods in
interstate commerce be marked with
the prices at which they left the pro-
ducer. 1t would serve as useful
example, the president suggested, If
congress enact legislation to- con-
the situation in the District Of
Columbia, where 1t has unlimited
authority.
Further, the president recommend
ed federal licensing system for cor
porations engaged in interstate COM
merce which would embody regula-
tions to insure competitive selling
land prevent unconscionable profits
in the method Of marketing" He
also urged prompt passage Of the law
pending to control security issues.
Urges Speedy Ratification.
Making an appeal for the ratifi-
cation of the peace treaty. to. turn
the country from war basis, the
president said:
There can be no peace prices SO
long as our whole financial and eco
nomic system is on war basis"
"A process has set in," the presi-
dent told congress, (which is likely,
unless something is done, to push
prices and rents and the whole cost
Of living higher and yet higher in a
vicious cycle to which there is no
logical or natural end.
"Some Of the methods by which
these prices are produced are already
illegal, some Of them are criminal,
and those who employ them will be
energetically proceeded against; but
others have not yet been brought
under the law and should be dealt
with at once by legislation"

SENTENCE WEBSTER
TOPRISON FOR LIFE

BALTIMORE, May e.-In expiation
Of his crime in choking out the life
OF his young wife, Bernace c. Web
ster, at the Belvedere Hotel, October
% last, Carlyle P. Webster, a former
Bay steamer captain, as yet, at thirty
flve years of age, in the prime of
his manhood, must spend the re-
mainder Of his days within the walls
Of the Maryland penitentiary. This
was the decree of Webster's trial
judges, Walter L Dawkins and
Charles w. Heuisler, in criminal
court, Part ?, yesterday.
Judge Dawkins imposed the sen
tence upon Webster. mis- colleague,
Judge Heuisler, sitting by his side
at the time. Before making known
the decision at which he and Judge
HeuisIer had arrived, concerning
which it was currently reported
about the courthouse during the
morning il would involve capital
punishment, Judge Dawkins spoke
briefly to Webster, touching for the
most part on appeals for clemency in
his behalf on the part of his counsel.
Throughout Judge Dawkins' ad-
dress the man who was the central
figure Of the drama or juridical JUS
tive being enacted was seemingly as
unconcerned as the least interested
of its spectators.
Standing at ease and quite notion
less, the young and powerfully built
slayer of his bride OF but forty EIGHT
hours, heard the words that forever
deprived him of freedom and all con-
tact with free human beings with an
impassiveness that might have ar
gued the entire lack of sensibility
imputed to him by States Attorney
Broening during the trial.
Dtputy States Attorney Marchant
stated yesterday that he had been
advised by Webster's counsel, Messrs.
Giles and Hammond, that the case
will be taken to the court Of appeals.

brought out by verdicts in suits
emanating from the grade crossing
collision between a Grand Trunk rail
road train and the automobile of eX-
Gov. George II. Prouty when the es-
tate of the former governor failed to
get damages for the death of the head
of the household or for the destruc-
ton of the automobile, while Mr..
Proutys employee, the man who was
driving the car when the collision
took place. was awarded damages of
$4,000 for injuries received at that
time. The earning capacity of the
one was entirely cut off and yet his
fomily get nothing, and the earning
capacity of the other was only parti-
ally impaired and still he gets damag-
es of good size. The verdicts are so
widely differing that they will no
doubt cause great surprise. The end
of the litigation is probably far Off
