Write Congressman to Use
Their Influence

The Civic and Commerce associa-
ton heard with interest Wednesday
the report of County Auditor A. D.
Johnson regarding the proposed sys-
tenn of trunk highways and laterals IN
Beltrami county.
Mr.. johnson pointed out that in the
past the money expended for trunk
highways or state roads has not al
ways been placed to the best OF adj
vantage, citing one case where the
first state, highway laid out in the
county had not yet beenf built al
though it was laid out 26 years ago.
Under the present proposed sys-
tenn, which is planned to extend over
at en-year period, at the end OF that
period the county will have a system
of roads comprising over 500 miles
which would be gravel-surfaced and
would compare very favorably with
any other county system in northern
Minnesota. BY the new plan, about
a million and a quarter dollars would
be spent by the county in highways IN
the ten-year period.

Is Possible to Make Peat
a Successful Fuel

The report 70 w. M. Everts, dele
cate to the Corona peat demonstra'
ton last week, for the Civic and Com,
mcrce association and the county OF
Beltrami, makes it evident that it is
possible to develop peat beds and OBJ
tain peat for fuel that will be com
mercially success.
According to Mr.. Everts, the peat
beds around Corona are very similar
to those in upper Beltrami county
with the exception, however, that the
peat beds of Beltrami county would
need to be drained to sufficient
depth to take the water off the peat
and this, according to him, is pos
sible.
The report in detail, as given by
Mr.. Everts, follows:
"The peat beds are located on each
side of the tracks at Corona and con
sist of about 200 acres of land with q
depth of about rs feet Of peat soil
this being similar to about Is pei
cent of the peat lands in the north

SENATOR KNOX PASSES
AT WASHINGTON HOME
knox's Death Comes as Shock
to His Friends; Stricken !,
With Apoplexy

Washington, Oct. 13.-Presldent
Harding, all high officers in the gov
eminent and leaders in congress will
attend the funeral services for Sem
ator Philander C. Knox, which will be
held tomorrow morning. The burial
will be at Knox's summer home at
Valley Forge, Penn.
r. Knox was stricken with apoplexy
at his home here last evening. The
shock of Knox's death came with
even greater force as he had just
returned from a vacation in England,
and he told his associates that he felt
much rested. -
Senator Knox spent the day as
usual at the senate leaving the capitol
about 5 o'clock with his secretary
w. S. Martin, for a short motor ride
through the park. He then purchased
tickets for the theater. Arriving home
Knox went, as was his custom, to his
study, and it was when descending
the stairs in response to a summons
to dinner he sustained the stroke that
ended his life.
Knox's career was among the most
notable in recent American political
history. He was 60 years Of age. h,
that period he had twice been United
States senator, twice cabinet Off
Ger and was more than once men,
toned for the presidency.
TIL esenate adjourned on converting
and appointed committee together
with house members to have charge
of the funeral. Knox was a native of
Brownsville, Penn, and after OBJ
tanning his early education at the
University of West Virginia and ALI
ance, Ohio, he began the study of
law, commencing practice in Pitts
burgh in 1875.

CONFERENCE ON DISARMAMENT IS CALLED TO ~
MEET CRISIS In ANGLO JAP ANESE RELATIONS
Decision Suddenly When Canada Deadlock at
London-Comng Conference Now Being Watched With
Interest BY All Nations

| The situation in which the two
greatest nations Of the World-the
United States and Great Britain
! found themselves last July, can be-
summed up briefly as follows:
These two leading powers, bound
| by natural ties Of race, color. and
speech, were at the crossroads. 1t
was obvious that the plans Of the far
away empire of Japan were running
counter to the principles and policies
Of the United States in the Pacific
and the Far East. Was Great Britain,
for reasons of political and CONNER
cial expediency, to continue this situ-
alton, and, undoubtedly thereby, ag-
gravate it by pledging herself again
in alliance with Japan, and so al
ligning herself Indirectly against the
United States in this dangerous stu.
alton? 4. w..
So, the crux of the situation which
has resulted in the forthcoming WASH
ington conference, narrowed down
from the broad description of "the
Pacific and Far East" was Japan.
The imperial conference Of British
Dominion Premicrs was meeting in
London with the heads Of the home
government the latter part Of June
and in the early days Of last July.
And while there was never any pub
lie, confidential, direct or indirect
reinstatement to this effect by any
administration spokesman, every we'll
informed newspaper correspondent in
Washington knew that the United
States government was utterly OPP
posed to renewal Of the Anglo Jap
anese alliance, the principal question:

BEMIDJI HIGH Is READY
FOR VISITING CRIDDERS
Going Through Final Practice
This Afternoon for Grand
Rapids Game Tomorrow

The Bemidji high school football
eleven is this afternoon putting on
their last hard practice for the game
with Grand Rapids tomorrow after
noon at the fair grounds. The Itas-
ca county eleven is coming to Be-
midi expecting to return home with
their first victory of the 1921 season
at the expense of the Beltrami eleven,
but, with the dash and drive displayed
by Coach Smiths warriors in last
nights practice, may be greatly dis
appointed. When Bemidii and Grand
Rapids meet tomorrow, Bemidji will
be lacking one of her stars, Stevens,
who was injured in the Grand Forks
game, being lost to the squad for the
balance of the season. Harald Thar
aldson, husky 165-pound guard, is al
so lost for the season, having dropped
out of school.
Boyce Elected Captain
With the loss of Stevens, who is in
eligible, Max Boyce was last night
unanimously elected to lead the navy
blue Jersey warriors on
the gridiron for the balance of the
season. That Boyce will make good
leader there is no doubt, for he is con-
sidercd about the best tackle playing
high school football in the state. Max
plays for all there is in him from the
minute the referee blows his whistle
until the final second.
Players to Be Numbered
In tomorrow's game the Bemidji
players will all be numbered with T.

of their jerseys, which will enable the
