approximately 100000, while the
value OF the tax base in 1887 was
only $4,000. ~
Need for Development. -
AT every meeting there was gen.
eral recognition of the need for ad-
ditional settlement and further de-
velopment of existing farming COM
muniti in order to increase the tax
base. AS means of guiding this
future settlement into areas offer
ing most favorable opportunities and
where cost for roads and schools
would be the minimum, the possibil-
tiles OF rural coming were discussed.
After representative of the United
States Department of Agriculture ex-
planned the detectives and results
of zoning in Northern Wisconsin the
general opinion of township officials
was favorable to this policy for Pine
county. AT the present time coun-
ties in Minnesota do not have the
authority to zone rural land, but bill
is to be introduced in the Legislature
this winter which would enable coun-
ties to use this regulation.
Sentiment of local people was
unanimously in favor of "Home Rule
Zoning," as Mr.. Huntley of Ogema,
expressed it. If certain areas are to
be held out of agriculture develop
ment for the present, town officials
strongly expressed the view that such
regulations be left in the hands of
town and county officials as is the
case in Wisconsin. In the township
of Park the need for such control
over undeveloped land was brought
out by case now before the town
board. A settler several miles from
existing roads has requested town
officials to provide him with road
costing several thousand dollars,
while large areas of potential farm
land lay idle along improved roads
and near schools. Several township
officials in expressing their opinion
on zOning stated that the development
of their townships should have been
controlled 40 years ago and that if
such policy had been followed
many of the present difficulties could
have been prevented.
Amendment 1 Explained.
Another policy discussed in connec-
ton with coming was Land Exchange
Amendment No. l which is to be
submitted to the voters of the state
this fall. If this Amendment were
adopted, the state or county could
trade its land along the roads and
near schools for land in sparsely set
tied areas where local people might
wish to discourage future settlement
In this way settlement could be con-
centrated in and around present farm
ing communities and local taxes for
roads and schools kept at minimum
AS these communities were developed
and the demand for land increased
the zoning boundaries might be
moved back to allow further settle
ment.
The general opinion expressed in
all the townships was that the settlers
preferred to remain on their farms
providing some assistance could be
given to enable them to continue.
At the meeting at Dosey, however,
one individual stated that the solu-

| Would Say
By A. w. CONAWAY

AS I have stated before in this
column, it is very appropriate that
an institution for imparting Informal
ton and learning should be the
agency to inform us that everything
is not right in our governmental adj
ministration. Why Shucks, possibly
the best form of education for some
of our prospective students at the
school could be had in attendance
at some of the hearings being held
in regards to the illegal procedure
of arranging for and construction of
the Bemidji State Teachers college
project.
Now the scene is moving closer to
home. 1t comes out that a contrac-
tor, who was awarded a contract on
the new Moose Lake hospital, says
that he was shaken down" to the
extent of $500 for campaign purposes
by a state official. They wanted a
$1,000 donation, he said. Well, now
I wonder if their demands were not
more correct than the $500 he gave
them. From the way it is alleged
that many of the Bemidji contracts
were awarded, it is barely possible
that he was given a thousand too
much for the job in the first place.
Some of the contractors who con-
tinue to make deals with corrupt pub
lie officials should take to heart the
narrative that the little school boy
wrote about Elijah: "There was a
man named Elijah. He had some
bears and lived in cave. Some boys
tormented him. He said: If you
keep on throwing stones at me, I'll
turn the bears on you and they'll eat
you up And they did and he did
and the bears did"
Uneasy lies the head that wears
a crown" might be mentioned in

MORE LATIN TRUST
OF U. S. REPORTED
Prof. J. G. Patterson of A. q. Tells
Teachers Results of His
Survey of Opinion.
By the Associated Press

ATLANTIC CITY. N. j., Oct. 2s.-
Prof. John c. Patterson of American
University, Washington, told the Mid
die States Association Of History and
Social Science Teachers today that
South American nations were now
really beginning to trust the United
States"
DR.. Patterson. director of Latin
American studies and professor of
international affairs at the university,
gave what he said were the results
of an intensive survey of South Amer
ican opinion.
He said he studied all the leading
South American newspapers and most
Of the smaller partisan organs for their
view on the controversy arising over
the Mexican appropriation of Ameri-
can oil well properties.
Reports of the dispute in most of
the papers carried small headlines and
for months there was no editorial
comment" he said. Every indication
was that they are really convinced
that the United States means its good
neighbor policy. Most of the attitudes
have been neutral, with much defense
of the United States and Secretary Of
State Cordell Hull's notes."

IS Ocean Cruises
Set for Peak Of
Winter Season
50 Schedule Ports
Of West Indies
On Short Trips

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-During the
120 winter days from December 20
until April l8, 1899, a grand total of
SO ocean cruises will leave the port
of New York for the east and the
west, but particularly for the south.
Bermuda will continue to enjoy its
regular services, but in addition
ships flying the flags of Great Brit
ain. Germany and Holland will have
IL special cruises to these romantic
islands.
Illustrating the love which Ameri-
cans and Canadians have for lands
not too far away, So of the 96 ocean
cruises scheduled will go to the West
Indies. Like the special cruises that
will call at Bermuda, the West In
dies ships will fly the flags of many
nations, including Old Glory. Watch
them as they sail out of New York
Harbor and you will recognize the
flags of Sweden, Norway, France,
Great Britain dncluding Canada) =,
Germany, Holland, Italy and Poland.
So large is the tourist traffic on
the Atlantic seaboard in winter for
warmer climes that at least 10
powerful nations compete for 1t. OF
no other region in the world is this
true. Cruises leave many a port in
Europe, but there nearly every cruise
ship carries the flag of the land from
which it departs. Only in the United
States will you find the cosmopolitan
array of flags all claiming large pas
senger lists for trips ranging from
six days and up.
More Days, More Ports.
Apart from the four and five day
cruises to Bermuda, the shortest
West Indies trips are those which go
to Havana and Nassau, which oc-
cupy from six to nine days. Two or
three additional days added to the
winter holiday means that one can
extend the journey to points farther
south: To Kingston, Jamaica and
Trinidad. The IS to 10 day cruises
to the West Indies include delightful
stays at such quaint old foreign ports
and islands as Cristobal, La Guayra,
Fort de = France, St. Pierre, St..
Thomas, Curacao. Barbados, Puerto
Cabella. Colon, Port-au-Prince, San
Juan, Santiago, La Brea. Brighton,
Grenada, Cartagena, Cape Haitian,
San Bias Bay and the Virgin Islands.
Two Christmas Ships . Day.
From December 20 until Christmas
Eve exactly two cruise ships a day
will leave for southern climes-1O
ships in five days. Some of them
will be back again with their pas
sengers the day after Christmas,
while the longest cruise whose pas
sengers will see Christmas at sea
will 60 to South American ports and
not return until about January 10.
The ocean cruises to South Amer
lea and around the southern half
of this continent are six this year,
one more than last winter.
Five Mediterranean cruises are
scheduled between January % and
March 4, the shortest lasting just
about month. That means that
the worst of winter is over when the
cruiser returns to New York with its
passengers all happy and ready to
tackle the problems Of 1899.
