PARIS, August 4.-French mil itary advisers at Warsaw have re- ported that the prime objective of the boIsheviki is 10 cut off the Polish sea corridor, including Dan zig, rather than capture Warsaw, which they say would soon follow.
 The cutting of the corridor would sever the one direct rail road line extending from Danzig to Warsaw. over which munitions for the Polish army are arriving. The experts add that the bolshe wiki are boasting that they will offer the corridor to Germany.

Our city is about to be confronted with sltua-
ton which, in magnitude, seriousness and far
reaching effect overshadows anything that has
previously presented itself in its history.
According to decision arrived at by vote which,
from numbers, indicates a majority of five to one
Of all voting, branch of organized labor has
evidenced its intentions of making certain demands,
which, if not granted, it is reported will result
ia strike being called on May 3.
This is part of tri-state movement and will
effect the states of Michigan, Wisconsin and Min
nesota We, however, are most concerned with its
effect on our own city. The seriousness of such
an ultimatum may well be pondered Our chief
source Of revenue has been and will continue to
be for some time the products Of our woodworking
factories and mills. They have been the founda-
ton upon which we have built our superstructure
Our merchants have learned to lean upon the
monthly returns brought from these mills by those
employed in them in the form of wages. They
have extended credit on the strength OF these
regular sources of income with which debtors would
pay their debts.
What effect will the closing of these industries
have upon such economic conditions? Not only Will
the loss be in the form of wages but the hundreds
of thousands of dollars which these industries spend
annually for supplies, will be cut off at once
There is apparently no grievance in the wages
being paid, working conditions are apparently sat-
isfactory and the only issue forming the con-
troversy is the number of hours to be considered
a days work. The present basis in effect is ten
hours the demands to be made are for eight hours
In the case of the largest industry affected the
period of operation is rarely longer than eight

tions the increase of its population in the last
ten years. Its kind remarks much appreciated
and reproduced below:
congratulations, Bemdji.
"Bemdj, located in the very heart of the land
of sky blue water, has shown a remarkable growth
in the last decade. The census figures just
nounced show gain of 80 per cent Minneapolis
showed 26 per cent gain and st. Paul nine
per cent increase.
"The large gain in Bemidji speaks not only for
that thriving little city Of the north. It tells the
story of development of Minnesotas north country.
"Bemidji is located in the midst Of territory
that only few years ago was devoted wholly to
lumbering The pessimstic predicted that when
the numbering went out decay would follow. Tho

The optimists have won. numbering is still an i'm

to diversified farming.
