LMD OFFICE DECISION.
The gallant light made by Con
gressman Steenerson for the re
moval of the newly established
land office from Cass Lake to Be
midji has not been successful,
but it reflects credit gupon the
Ninth district congressman's en
ergy and hustlingjjqualities even
though it was a losing] tight. It
is always difficultjn dealing with
the government to alter suited
and established conditions. The
fact thatrtlle office was pro
claimed with|Cas's Lake fixed as
the location, though "compassed
through an act upon the part of
the Sixth and Eighth district
memb&rs .that waus questionable,
and involved a serious breach of
faith, brought into existence a
condition that could not be ably
overturned or altered. Congres
maa Steenerson had, perhaps,
the right of argument in favor of
his contention for a change to
Bemidji, but the fact Qthat the
change would necessitate re-ap
pointment of the officers, the
giving of new lands, announce
ment of all other offices in the
country, and the unwinding of
much red tape, which, in the
opinion of the president and
land commissioner, would not
offset the reasons for the change
in location.Crookston |Journal.
The Journal further says:
"The failure to secure the gov
ernment law office at Bemidji is
not one over which the citizens
of that hustling Oplace propose
to waste any tears or expend
many words oyer in denounce
ment of the authorities who
failed to view the matter as they
did."
The Crookston Times says:
"The final determination of the
Cass Land office location at that
place has not been unexpected
and we believe will be fairly ac
ceptable to the settlers of the
new district. As to accessibility
the two towns were on "nearly
equal footing, but Bemidji was
badly handicapped by the fact
that it got into the contest so
late. Cass Lake was the original
mover in the matter'and worked
industriously and in silence many
months before the creation of a
new land district was publicly
proposed. Even then Bemidji
allowed Cass Lake to go on and
cinch its advantage by securing
the location of the office. Be
midji slept too long on its rights.
Only the vigor and insistance of
Congressman Steenerson se
cured any consideration for Be
midji, which practicallyiforfcited
its righjis.and its opportunity by
neglecting to take advantage of
them."

New York, Sept. 23.The directors

find a plan for saving the properties
of the company, which are In the

time ago, and announced that the
stockholders of the company were
entirely at the mercy of the banking
firm, which could sell out the stock of
the operating companies in the Con
solidated Lake Superior company at
any time they saw fit. With the an

Mississippi river rose only sixteen
inches since Sunday night, although

This srives the Farmers a good chance to go homeseeking,

it at a trilling expense.
The finest valleys in the Northwest, good for grain, hay,
fruits, root crops, for mixed, stock or dairy farming, for
irrigation or not, as one wishes, are found along the
Northern Pacific or its branch or connecting lines. The
growing, thriving towns are found there, too. It is a

Concerning Jags.
It Is do**n in the ranks of the toll
er for daily bread that the awful
blight of the humdrum is most keenly
felt, and here the need of an intelli

Dress is forbidden as a luxury be
yond attainment. Alcoholic excess
is a curse whose hideous after results
are only too well known. Blessed is
the man who shall find or devise a
new and harmless Jag that shall come
into the tired lives of the masses like
a burst of sunshine on a leaden day,
dispersing and haunting shadows of
vice jags, and giving the necessary
relief from grinding monotony with
out any demoralizing after effects.
