VOLUME 1. NUMBER 119. Men Stand on Steps All Night to File on New Town- ship. The Duluth Evening- Herald gives the following account of the opening for settlement of town ship 58-7, situated in Lake conn ty, about fifty miles from Duluth: "Fifty-four wet and shivering applicants were found grouped about the entrance to the federal building at 0 o'clock this morn ing, when Receiver Smith of the land office came down to open the doors. "The fifty-four dauntless ones were waiting to tile on claims in the new township which was opened for settlement at the of fice this morning. "It is first come first served with the land officials, and each one of the fifty-four was anxious to gain first chance to pick his 160 acres from the 23,000 thrown open to settlement. "The crowd began to assemble about 7 o'clock last evening, and kept gradually growing until 6 o'clock this morning, when Re ceiver Smith came down and opened the doors. Immediately there was a rush for first place in the line. It was secured by John Desmond, who was given ticket No. 1 by Receiver Smith. The others received tickets num bered according to their place in the line, and dispersed to get breakfast. When they reassem bled at the hour for opening of the land office, their applications wjgrere taken in the order of the fTbmbers given them. Among the- applicants were a party of fifteen from Afton Junction, Iowa." DELAYED AGAIN Wet Weather Stops Wheat Move ment Just Getting Un der Way. The wheat movement of the Northwest is ready to open up as soon as the weather will permit. Last week the weather was bet ter and much threshing was done over the Northwest. As a re sult, toward the close of the week the marketings of grain at coun try points was enormous. On Saturday the records for receipts were broken at many country points. The wet weather of the first two days of the week will set the movement back for several days more. Threshing will again be delayed until the wheat dries out. The tendency this fall will be to rush wheat to market and to hold flax. This is because there is no carrying charge in wheat at the present time, the cash price being higher than the option price. In flax the reverse is true this year, the option price being higher than the cash. Laboring Men's Choice to Buy a Home.

Our intelligent pioneer farmers are just opening their eyes to the fact that the lands in Beltrami county are among the best in the i Northwest for stock raising. The idea is new, and few have taken advantage of it. There will be scores of stock farms in ties county ten years lionet\ Our cool summers afford the best climate for sheep, horses, cattle and hogs. Even our severe win ters are not enemiable. In this timbered country stock can be left out ail winter and be none the worse for having been ex posed to the cold weather. The extensive tracts of grass, clover and shrubbery, watered by nu merous streams, make unexcelled pastures. The beauty of stock farming is that it requires little land clear ing, an advantage of great im portance in this country, where timber and brush predominate. Our cool northern climate de veloped larger and finer stock than can be grown farther south, and danger from disease in said to be considerably loss. MANY BILLS County Commissioners Allowed Big Batch at Meeting Yester day Afternoon. Tfte county board allowed a big bunch of bills at yesterday afternoon's session but outside of this there was little business of importance brought up. An appropriation.of $200, to be used on county roads in the town of Maple Ridge, was made. A license for selling liquor at Nebish was granted W. P. Welch. Concentration. The men who manage some of the largest enterprises in the world work but four or five hours a clay, and younger men thus argue that they need not work long hours to be successful. The point, however, is that the man who can do his work in four hours has gained the informa tion necessary by years of hard labor and probably exceptionally long hours. He concentrates his mind on.the matter in hand and turns it off in a few hours, but he must have health and strength to do it and for this reason he will drink golden grain belt beer reg ularly with his meals. It's the best tonic ever brewed and should be in every home. Order of your nearest dealer or be supplied by John F. Essler, Bemidji. Resolution's of Sympathy.

The new rules and regulations i for the sole of pine timber on the i Chippewa reservations have been issued. -While ihe main pro vision is a five-year limit, there is nuth'iig in the rules that will prevent purchasers of pine from cutting off their enti re a'lotrnerits in a year. Tney mu st cut one quarter of it each year, but can cut as much mare as they wish. The bonds to lie required, in stead of being double amount of the purchase money, as in the first set of rules issued, will be for only 50 per cent of the pur chase money. T'nere arc some minor changes relative to the disposition of the refuse matter. Senator O'Neill, of Ashland, will soon receive full instructions relative to his duties as superin tendent of logging. It is the in tention of Laud Commissioner Richards to have everything in perfect running order so that when bids are opened for the first sale "Dec. 5, there will be no hitch. Commissioner Richards thinks there will be considerable logging done next winter. COUNCIL MEETING.
