Sather will leave Bemidji with his family in a month for Ore gon, where they will live in the future, and where Mr, Sather has a valuable claim. Netrly fifty men went from Bemidji Sunday to the Dakota harvest fields. 'This means a small harvest for pol iticians in Beltrami county. Bemidji was expecting an excursion from Hibbing last Sunday and waited with their Sunday clothes on. The band boys were informed, and the base ball club was ready to tender the visiting team a warm reception on the diamond, but the Hibbingites disap pointed us by not coming.

Smith opened his speaking campaign in this city last Friday. 'The meeting was well attended. The band escorted the old gentleman to the hall where he spoke for an hour. Those who were present say that when it comes to political speaking Mr. .Smith has but a few equals. He was in Bagley Saturday night and Mon da night in Blackduck. Father Murphy will build a Catholic church at Farley this fall, if a suit able site can be secured. Rev. Mur phy has certainly done his part in ^building up churches in this portion of the northwest and spreading the Catholic religion so anyone can find a place of worship in any of the little villages in this region. The reverend gentleman is one of the most consci entious workers in the field. The son of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Galant of Shevlin, who was brought to this city last week with the bones of his leg and middle finger diseased, was operated upon by Dr. Henderson, assisted by Drs. Ward and Morrison, and although the operation was of a most serious character, the boy is doing splendidly, and Dr. Henderson believes his recovery will be speedy and complete. The diseased bone was caused by tuberculosis, but the boy is likelv to live to a good old age. Mrs. Ted Smith, chaplain of the First Spiritulist Church of Bemidji, left yesterday morning for Minne apolis to attend the State Spiritulist Convention to be held in Unitarian church. The convention will last four days. There will be morning and evening sessions an excellent pro gram has been arranged, and some of Minneapolis' noted singers and musi cians will assist in the entertainment. There will also be present Mediums from different parts of the United States. Mrs. Smith goes as a deli gate from the society here, and her name appear on the program as one -of the leading lecturers. Mrs. I. S. Boyer and family are getting ready to move to Minneapolis where they will live in the, future. Their building on Minnesota avenue is rented and their furniture is being packed up and they will leave the latter part of this week. They have several well-founded reasons for leav ing this city. Mr. Boyer is on the road and can make Minneapolis nearly every week whereas he can visit 'his family here only once in a great while. And they have a son with a good situation in Minneapolis who insists on their going there. Minneapolis is the Boyer family's old home and they like that city. Thev will not sell their property in Bemidji, for the rent on the same is a nice in come. The Boyer family made a host of friends in this city who will be very sorry to see them leave.

Comstock, Republican candidate for congress in the ninth district, will speak in the city hall to night, Sept. 4th at 8 o'clock. All, both ladies and gentleman, are cor dially invited. On account of the rush of business in the auditor's office for the past few weeks, Dave Sylvester has been unable to get out of the office to make a thor ough canvass of the county. Dave has made a good officer and has stood at his post all through the campaign, regardless of the fact that he is up for election. Joo Berry, who has been assistant postmaster here for the past two years, left for his home in Belding, Mich., Saturday. He was also a member of the Bemidji band, which last Friday evening gave a farewell prrty in his honor at the Red Men's hall, at which a large number of his friends were present. Joe was a jolly good fellow and is well thought of by all who knew him. Amos Gile and family of Oakwood, left this county yesterday for North Yakima, Wash., where they will make their future home. Mr. Gile's son, R. S., traveled from Los Angeles, Cal., to Washington in lieu of getting a new home, and he finally decided on North Yakima, where he purchased property and where the whole family has now gone. They intend engaging in the fruit business, and as soon a3 they will arrive there will build a home. Mr. Gile is well known to our oldest citizens for he lived in Bemidji some time previous to three years ago, when he moved with his family to Oakwood. S. A. Sather sold his property on third street to Edwin Moore of Alpena, Mich., who takes charge at once, and use the building for the same pur pose for which it is used at the pres ent time. He will live with his family upstairs, and rent the balance. His daughter will have an office down stairs where she will do steneography and typewriting. She has for seueral years been head kook-keeper for the leading hardware firm in Alpina. The "old man" has plenty of coin and will make many investments in this city. The first will be the enlarge ment of the property purchased from Sather. The building will be stretched out from the rear enough to make it 140 feet. Don't send away for your goods. It doesn't pay. The city department store seldom contributes to the build ing of our churches, and when we are out of money we seldom go to them and ask for credit. The same rule that applies to the workingman also applies to the business man. The business men in a town should pat ronize one another, which, we must acknowledge, they seldom do. If the business men would be consistent they would patronize one another: patron ize those who help to maintain the town. They tell us that in St. Paul some Cheap John printing office of fers to do printing cheaper than we we can do it, but those printers are seldom called upon to "boost" a friend into office and say some pretty words when Jones get married, and that Smith's daughter who married him is the most beautiful of all living creatures.

The Crookston Lumber Co. this morning began the work of clearing off the timber from the 100 acres of land on the south eud of Bemidji Lake upon which it is to cjnstruct its big saw mill. It will take six months of active preparation and construction work to get this plant in running operation. It will cost about $300,000, and will be the complotest mill property in Minnesota. The timber for this plant will be brought from the head waters of the Mississippi and from along the line of the Minnesota & international Rail way Co. iu eastern Beltrami and northern Itasca counties.

Owing to the peculiar character of the campaign being made against me, who am a candidate for the republican nomination for state senator in the 01st senatorial district, comprising the counties of Beltrami, Norman and Red Lake, it seems proper that I should step aside from the ordinary course of such candidacy, and define my platform. In doing so I shall make it as brief as possible, and trust it will be plain enough for anybody to understand. First,I am a republican, and have been for twenty-live years, and bow to the dictation of my party in all ordinary matters. It must be business of great public importance, involving moral con- victions which any man would be justified in ignoring, to cause me to ignore my party platforms and leaders. I do not claim to possess all wisdom. It is somewhat humiliating to confess it, but there are a few men in the republican party who are smarter than I am, and sometimes they do things which are unsatisfactory to me, and write the platforms, while I do the criticising. I find it easier to criticise than to acquire the privilege of writing the platforms, but most of my criticising is done prior to the conventions, in the hope that it may in some manner influence the platform-makers. After the conventions I support the nominees. It is urged against me that I am a mergerito. At Thief River Falls, at St. Hilaire, at Ada, at Fer- gus Falls, at Pelican Rapids, at Akeley, at Cass Lake, and a number of other towns on the Great Northern line in Minnesota, local indus- tries have been fostered and built up to the benefit of the sur- rounding country. Those are all non-competing points. I shall welcome the time when the Northern Pacific shall openly work in harmony with that masterspirit who has built up the country and cities along the line of the Great Northern. But I am not on that account opposed to the election of Governor Van Sant. He has sought without malice to enforce a law which he found on the statute books. Whether he succeeds or whether he fails is with the courts, and not with the legislature, as the legislature cannot now pass a law which would take Mr. Hill's or Mr. Morgan's prop- erty away from them. If, however, the Great Northorn Railway Company should see fit to receive at Bemidji the loaded cars of the Northern Pacific, coming from the eastern part of Beltrami county with cord-wood and cedar posts and ties, and should carry them to all points in the Red River Valley and in North Dakota over the Great Northern lines at rates that would make the traffic profitable to the merchants and the settlers in eastern Beltrami county, I should make no objection, well knowing that by no other means could the rich hard woods in the Blackduck and Tonstrike country be supplied to the prairie regions to the west. I should consider it a God-send if the Great Northern people would consent to do this thing. It would certainly add at least $50,000 a year to the wealth of eastern Beltrami county. Second.I am an American I believe in American statesman- ship, in American soldiers, in American farmers, in American financiers. By this I do not mean native-born Americans only, but people who have planted themsolvos in the United States and made their homes hero. And I behove in supporting American enterprise and the investment of American money all over the world by all the powers of the American government, for the pur- pose and sake of making the United States the financial as well as the industrial headquarters for the trade of the world. And I be- lieve that the new order of things is rapidly making statesmen out of bank presidents and railroad men. I am not afraid that any American will make enough money abroad to make it uncomfortable for the rest of us Amoricans to live on the remittances which his agents may make to him from China or South Africa. Third.1 am a northern Minnesota man. There is enough territory in northern Minnesota north of the Groat Northorn line which extends from Duluth to Grand Forks to comfortably hold a million people. I am forty-seven years old, and I expect to live to see the time when that particular portion of the state will contain a half million of people. My own county of Beltrami and the county of Itasca adjoining it are almost wholly undeveloped, and are in urgent need of large appropriations for drainage purposes and of numerous extensions of railroad lines. Norman county and Red Lake county are also in need of liboral drainage appropri- ations and branch lines of railroad. If I over get rich I expect it will be from the development of these four counties in the two methods above outlined and if elected senator I shall use every honorable means within my power to secure from the state of Min- nesota the largest measure of appropriations for drainage pur- poses regardless of whether the lands drained belong to the state or not, and shall also take whatever course seems most desir- able for the purpose of securing the extension of railway lines into and across the lour counties named. The government of the United States has donated to the state of Minnesota all the swamp lands within its limits, excepting those on the Indian reservations, for the purpose of raising money to drain swamp lands in the state. Heretofore largo donations of these swamp lands have been made to railroad companies, and such appropriations have been beneficial to the state, but there are still loft large areas of such swamp land which should be devoted to tha purposes for which they were granted to the state, and It shall be my aim in particular, and I shall use every effort towards securing for northern Minnesota the use of the WHOLE PROCEEDS OF THE SWAMP LANDS NOW LEFT, for drainage purposes. Fourth.I ask for the votes of the republicans of the (list sen- atorial district on my record as county attorney of Beltrami county for the last six years, during which time I have by successful liti- gation in the courts, with the most powerful financial and property interests upon the other side, kept the machinery of the county, townships and school districts of my county in successful motion without sacrificing any serious necessity to county, township or school district. The worst enemy 1 have has never accused me of selling out any public interest, no matter how great the induce- ments. Very respectfully, W. F. STREET, Bemidji, Minn. Lumbermens Bank, Bemidji, Minn.
