AGENTS Will Come.
TRADES ASSEMBLY TO
BE FORMED SUNDAY

President E. G. Hall of the State
Federation of Labor, who is making
an official visit to the Bemidji trades
unions, is also instructing them IN
the formation of a central organiza-
ton, which will comprise all of the
organizations, body which serves
in many ways, in an advisory and
helpful way, not only to the men,
bership but to the community as we'll.
Mr.. Hall says that the unions OF
labor are interested in many ways,
other than the mere dollar, and as
sures all that a body, such as is hoped
will be formed, will prove not only
of benefit to labor, but will demon
strate a value to the city in removing
much of the misunderstanding, as
we'll as Misrepresentation.
The meeting will be held in the
Moose hall Sunday evening, at 8
O'Clock.

DEEP SHOWS FORCE
ARCTIC BIRDS SOUTH
(By United Press

Hartford, Conn.,, March 5.-Deep
SHOWS and an unusually severe win
ter in the Arctic regions are believed
to have caused the migration to this
state of thousands of birds seldom
seen in this latitude.
Last December the same pheno-
mena was observed and noted in New
Hampshire and Maine by John Bur-
roughs, the celebrated naturalist and
bird student. Burroughs attributed
the cause to unusual conditions in
Greenland and Labrador and pre-
dicted a severe winter to follow. That
he was right in his contention Is now
borne out here in Connected not only
by the arrival Of these strange birds,
but by weeks of zero weather and
heavy snowstorms.

DEMAND INCREASING
FOR COMPLETION OF
HUDSON BAY ROUTE
Northwest Canadian Farmer.
Are Insisting That Work
Be Resumed
(By United Press)

Winnipeg, March 5.-Insistent de-
mand for completion Of the Hudson
bay railroad, on which the govern
ment has already spent $13,OOO,OOO,
is growing particularly among the
farmers. The government is being
asked to spend eleven million dollars
more to complete the project
The history of the Hudson's Bay
railroad is as romantic as any OF the
pioneering by individuals or govern
ments on the continent.
More than a quarter Of century
ago, demand arose that communica-
ton be established with Hudson Bay
Finally, in 1908. location work was
begun and in 1911 the railway was
already under construction.
After the lapse OF nine years the
railway is still uncompleted. From
The. Pas, Man, to the second crossing
of the Nelson river at Kettle Rapids
"a distance of 1872 miles-the track
is laid.
For the remaining 80 miles, tc
Port Nelson. the grading .s complet'
ed. Over thirteen and half millions
Of dollars have been expended on th<
railway and six and half million'
of dollars have been expended on thu
harbor improvement at Port Nelson
During the last three years, LITTLE
work has been done either on rail
ways or harbor improvements.
tt is estimated the new route viii
provide an outlet for thirty millio1
bushels of western wheat at smaller
cost than by the already completed
route to the eastern seaboard.
When the railway reaches the Ba!
it will open a larger area for inves
tigation and financial enterprise thar
will any other railway to be bull
in Canada for several generations, i
| is believed.

"What Is the Sentiment?"
Query Asked Frequently
From u. p. Staff Man
REALIZE THAT AMERICA
HAS THE MONEY BAGS
Useless for Foreigner to Try
to Discuss Guilty Who
Started War
BY Carl ID. GrOat
United Press Correspondent


Berlin, Feb. IA. (By Mail.)--
What is sentiment in America
toward Germany? Is America ever
going to be friendly toward US
again."
These are the most frequent Ques-
lions an American meets in travelling
about Germany. The writer has just
returned from journey on which
he had an opportunity to question
and be questioned. And we found
that the two above constituted the
leading things in which the travellers
were interested.
Some Of them asked in the manner
of people who didn't or wouldn't un-
derstand why America came into the
war. Others asked hopefully; they
relatives in America, and they hoped
that relations would again be friend
ly in the near future.
Self-Interest Plays Role.
Self-interest plays the largest role
in the questions. Germans realize
america is the land with the money
bags at this time. And they are in
terested in friendly relations mainly
because they feel that such relations
would mean added food and added
raw materials from the American
storehOuse.
1t was interesting to check up on
German attitude as to the Kaiser.
On train between Hamburg and
kiel, there was a middle aged Ger
nun Of good appearance who had
been in big business all his life. He
admitted he was mOnarGhistically in
clined. but said emphatically he and
his circle of friends were quite OPP
posed to the return Of Wilhelm. A
republic for time would suit them;
then If quiet and order were restored
they would like limited monarchy.
Women Not Interested.
A woman of perhaps forty-evi-
IDENTIFY a buyer-wasn't interested In
Wilhelm's return. Others indicated
their feelings variously, but whether
they wanted a monarchy again or
not, weren't favorable to having the
former Kaiser return. A wounded
officer complained Of present day
condition. He could get no work be-
cause he is crippled and yet the gov
eminent was cutting off his support.
THAT is the thanks of the Father
land" he said bitterly.
WAR Guilt" Taboo.
1t one talks war guilt-and it's a
useless subject for foreigner to at
tempt-one never gets confession
that Germany started the war. Some
body else did or else Germany had
only partial guilt, say the Teutons.
Everywhere, too, the Germans are
interested in the American "Alko-
holverbot" word for prohibi-
ton.
"Why is it that was put into force
in America" they ask.
One does his best to explain it so
Teuton mind shall comprehend
but the Teuton mind isn't so co.,
structed as to understand American
reasons or methods in handling the
liQuOr question.

Minnesota Land Owner Re-
visits Former Home in
Waterloo, That State
FORECASTS LARGER
INCREASE THIS YEAR
Influx of Settlers Seen to
North Minnesota in
Few Years

A. E, Gibson, who owns consider
able farm land in Northern Mime
sofa and who has large sheep ranch
near Tenstrike, returned the first OF
the week from a visit to his old home
in Waterloo, Iowa.
In an interview with Mr.. Gibson,
regarding the farm land boom IN
Iowa and Southern Minnesota, ne
said that deals were going through
at high prices and indications were
that an increase would be asked next
year, above the prices paid.
Cheap Land Inflated.
This has but one meaning" said
Mr.. Gibson, Increased rents and re-
turns, which means increased valua-
ton on cheaper lands. There seems
to be nothing to the land imitation
propaganda. The prices advertised
are actual facts and farms are chang
ing hands every day.
"Twenty-seven trains passed thru
one town in a short time, loaded with
farm equipment and household goods
belonging to farmers, who are NOV
ing from western Iowa to eastern
Iowa. The same is true in Southern
Minnesota"
Settlers Will Come.
That there will be an influx OF
|settlers into Northern Minnesota the
next few years is certainty. lndi-
cations are that soon there will not
be enough improved farms to go
around. These farmers prefer to buy
improved lands and will pay a good
price for it.
"They have been used to working
cleared lands and know little about
the stump business. The more land
cleared by the present owners the
better price the land will bring. So
anxious will be the new settlers for
improved land that they would pay
far more than what it cost to clear
it, plus the value of the land. The
fact that there are thousands Of acres
in Northern Minnesota at from $50
to 500 an acre, which will produce
as much as the land Iowa farmers
sold at $4OO an acre, will see Won
derful movement toward this section.
