STRIKE EXDED.
The dreaded strike that has
been pending on the Great North
ern raUway system for some
time past has undoubtedly ende.1.
Although the employes had, by a
very large majority, voted to tie
up the rolling stock, still it is
most commendable in their lead
ers that they Save not been too
headstrong in their actions/'and
equally pleasing to the public to
know that the management of
the road has acted with leniency,
each party having taken a second
sobev thought. To have brought
on a strike of such magnitude
would have stagnated business
to a great extent throughout the
Northwest and at a moment when
the inilux of population was never
so pronounced. It/ would have
proven almost a calamity would
have thrown thou-an Is other
than railway men out of employ
ment and blocked the wheels of
progress for months to come.
Prosperity crowds the city
limits of Bemidji and a move to
annex a large portion of the
county is on foot. Crookston

Moreover, whatever steps have been
taken in Manchuria are only in self
I defense."

evened when he was at liberty. When
