Official County and City Paper.
If the affairs of tliA city were
regarded more in the light of
common property, in which all
have an interest, and that the
money spent in improving streets
was also an improvement to their
own property, Bemidji would be
a, model for all to pattern after
within a year. A man does not
regret the money he spends on
his own front yard. He feels
that the expenditure is for him
selfto procure something which
he wants and something in which
he and his family can take pleas
ure. Why can't we take that
same pleasure in improving our
city
The chief fault with all game
laws is that they make no dis
tinction between the rights of
needy settlers and those of
sportsmen who kill for "glory-"
However, it is the policy of the
state wardens to make this dis
tinction, and that is the worst
kind of anarchy. The state
should pass no laws that an hon
est or merciful officer is ashamed
to enforce to the letter. Cut 'em
out.- Big Pork Compass.
Commissioner Ed Gallagher,
of Clearwater-Beltrami county,
says that of all the railways he
traveled over on his California
trip, the Great Northern gave
him the best satisfaction, and
generally provided the greatest
amount of comfort to passen
gers. He is pr ud of the Min
nesota railways.

Omaha, May 10.A plan for the set
tlement of the strike which now in
volves over 3,000 teamsters, restaurant
workers, freight package handlers and

appointment of a committee of seven

association and the labor unions, who
will sit with Gov. Mickey as chair

pledge to do everything in their pow

press and public, which is as follows:
"Having been invited by the mayor
of your city and the sheriff of your
county to come to Omaha for the pur
pose of conferring with them and oth
ers to aid in arriving at an amicable
settlement of the labor troubles in
which your city is now involved. I met
with the business men's association
Thursday night and heard their di
cussion relating to the matter, and
was enabled to get some information
as to their attitude and complaint,
and yesterday afternoon I met a dele*
gation representing the labor unions
and discussed with them their com
plaint and attitude in relation to the
situation.
Goes to Arbitration.
"After brief and fair consideration
oa my part with both sides I asked
that the labor unions appoint a com
mittee of seveti and that the business
men's association name a like num
ber to meet me Monday evening, May
11, for the purpose of mutually con
sidering the matters in controversy
and arriving at an amicable settlement
to all interested."

Lebaudy Brothers Try the New Air
ship With Success.
Paris, May 10. The airship con
structed for the Lebaudy brothers
made a highly successful trip yester
day under Pilot Juohmes and Engineer
Rey. The start was made at 0 a. m.
from St. Marin, during a light rain
and with a brisk wind blowing. The
craft passed over a number of suburb
an towns. At Nantes she made a
circle around the cathedral spire and
left that town, going diagonally
against the wind. The .airship was
put through a series of evolutions and
answered her helm and maneuvered
to the perfect satisfaction of all inter
ested in her. Yesterday was a record
day in the annals of French balloon
ing. In addition to the successful
trial of the Lebaudy airship, Santos
Dumont made his first free ascent of
the season in his new airship, No. 9.
Santos-Dumont is satisfied with, his
ascent of yesterday, which will shortly
be repeated-.
