Are Chiropractic Adjustments the same a.s Osteopath Treatments?
No. The Chiropractic and the Osteopath both aim to put in place
that which is out of place, to right that which is wrong but the Path-
ology Diagnosis, Prognosis and Movements are entirely different.
One of my patients, Mr. W. A. Casler, has taken both Chiropractic
and Osteopoth treatments. The Chiropractic is ten times more direct
in the adjustments and the results getting health ten times more thor-
ough in one tenth of the time than an Osteopath would.

By R. W. HITCHCOCK.
Entered In the postofflce at Bemidji, Minn.,
as second r.lass matter.
Official County and City Paper
SUBSCRIPTION $5 PER YEAR
Conserving the R_ainfall.
The Pioneer Press by cartoon,
communication and editorial flays
the proposal of Cass Lake to
abolish the forest reserve and de
clares that unless steps are
taken to conserve the head
waters of the Mississippi the
commercial devel opment of the
valley of the Mississippi, of
which Minnesota is the head and
the most interested portion, will
be irretrievably handicapped.
Ic is a well known fact that
forests are the great conserva
tors of the rain fall. Cut down
the forests and the water, as it
falls from the heavens, rushes
swiftly to the rivers and on to
the sea in floods, while in dry
seasons the rivers run at a low
ebb. The Pioneer Press de
clares that the destruction of the
forests of Minnesota has already
lowered the level of the Missis
sippi and that were the forest
reserve policy abandoned, its
level would be so reduced that
the great world's trade which
the digging of the Panama Canal
will open up to us will be impos
sible. It goes further and as
serts that this commerce is pos
sible to us only by an application
of the forest reserve policy to far
larger districts than that em
braced in the Chippewa reserve.
The matter is one of the high
est importance and if Cass Lake
cannot refute the assertions of
the Pioneer Press it can hardly
hope to be freed from its embar
rassing circle of forest reserve.
State Finances.
Advance sheets of the report
of State Auditor Iverson to the
legislature are just out. Consid
erable space is devoted to the
discussion of the state finances
and to a tabulation of estimated
receipts and expenditures for the
ensuing three years. With the
amendment of the constitution
fixing the tax on the gross earn
ings of railroads at four per cent
intead of of at three as at pres
ent in force Mr. Iverson esti
mates that the state revenue tax
for 1906 and 1907 can be reduced
from one mill to one half of one
mill. In order to do this it will
be necessary for the legislature
this winter, in the words of Mr.
Iverson, to practice "rigid econ
omy" and no new fields for ap
propriations must be sought out.
The state auditor's warning is
timely. During the past two
years the revenue fund of the
state has been overdrawn over
three hnndred and sixty thous
and dollars and although there is
still about that much on hand it
will be necessary for the legisla
ture either to confine expenditure
strictly to the lines already laid
down or to increase the tax rate.
Should the railroads resist the
increase of one per cent in the
tax on their gross earnings it
will be necessary to maintain the
tax levy for revenue purposes at
one mill as at present.
THE experimental farm at
Crookston, under the manage
ment of Superintendent Hoyer
stad, has been a very practical
blessing to the people of north
ern Minnesota and has contri
buted largely to the advance
ment of scientific agriculture.
There is no better place in the
state to establish a sub school of
agriculture and the efforts of the
people of Polk county to secure
such a school should be crowned
with success.

Greene was only a mild spring
breeze instead of the terrible
northwester he made himself out
to be.
THE legislature may now abol
ish the grand jury system. It
remains to be seen whether it
can.
WHEN he thinks of Mrs. Chad
wick every thief should be
ashamed of himself.
Her Wiles Failed.
They sat in close communion
in the kitchen while from the ad
joining bedroom came a strong
man's sullen snorea snore that
wailed low like a child in agony
to soar high like the shriek: of a
buzz saw.
"John" says Emma suddenly,
"you have been coming here to
sit up with me three years now.
Have you noticed any change in
daddy's snore?"
"Can't say that I have, Em. It
don't scare me like it uster."
"Well, it scares me. I can
notice a difference right Along.
That snore is growing weaker all
the time. It isn't a healthy snore
any more. Dad thinks he is all
right, but he can't fool me. I
can tell by his snore that he is
failing. It don't jar the dishes
like it uster do."
And the fair girl buried her
head in her hands and wept
earnestly.
"Why, what ails you Em?
Don't cryI don't like to see
you cryyou don't look happy."
"I can't help it. Maybe dad
will quit snoring bymby. Then
I-will-be-all-alone. No one will
be left to care for me."
"Oh, yes there.'ll be some-
body."
"Who, John, who?
"Why, everybody! and Ma likes
you real well and she will come
over and see you every once in a
while."
"But I'll be so lonesome. And
I can't run the place alone."
"You don't have to."
"Who will help me?"
"Why, why, I-I think father
will look after the farm. He
thinks a lot of you."
"I am glad your pa and ma
think so much of me. Is there
anybody else that feels like them,
over your.way?"
"Why, why-don't you know
there's one that makes a whole
lot over youwould do anything
for you."
"I can't guess who you mean."
"Why-why I mean Jack."
"Your dog?"
"Of course."
Into Emma's eyes there leaped
a fire that quickly dried all traces
of tears.
"Johnnie, it is getting late
hadn't you better run along home
to your ma?"
As he trod the homeward trail,
he muttered over and over, "Now,
that gets me. What did Em git
mad about?"
"The fool!" she hissed as she
threw a shoe at the cat, "he

AMUSEMENTS
Many People Got Left.
"The Reading, Pa. News" says:
There was not a crowded house
at the Academy of Music to see
"The Man From Sweden" and in
this many of our theatre goers
deceived themselves for no more
entertaining show has ever drop
ped into our city this season.
Howard Brandon, the Swedish
American actor, is a whole show
in himself, but he is so ably sup
ported by his company that they
all deserve special mention. Mas
ter George, a wonderful child in
the character of Little Jim, Carl's
friend, carried his part so well
that all were on tip toe to see him
reappear on the stage. The spec
ialties were fine and altogether
everybody got their money's
worth and some to spare. The
