Last_Obstaacle to Construction Removed by Third Street Property Owners. “You can tell the people today, said Hon, J. M. Markhan to the Pioneer this morning ‘‘that I shall build that hotel that you have been talking about. You were right all the time, bub Idid not feel like authorizing a positive statement until I was absolutely sure that I knew what I was do- ing.” “T am going to St. Paul. this morning to have the plans pre- pared and to advertise for bids for the construction of the house. It should be completed by Octo- ber 1, and dirt will fly on the ground here just as sconas the plans are completed. Sewerage was necessary to the house. Of course I might have put in a private disposal - plant but this would have been unsatisfactoay. Before we,could be assured that we could get a sewer system this year it was necessary to see the property owners on Third street as the putting in of a sewer “means that the streets must be " filled up to the established grade of three and a half feet at the ~“Last-night-a petition was pre- sented to the city council by practically every property owner on- Third street who is affected asking the council to provide for the grading of the street and the putting in of the sewer. ‘This is all I-have been waiting to find out. The hotel was almost an impossibility - without sewerage and now that we are practically assured that we will have it I in- tend to proceed. You may pub- lish this if you like as 1 want the people to lnow that T am going to build the house.” Mr. . Markham’s statement printed above finally disposes of all question as to the new hotel. A pencil drawing of the plans night. It will be a three story brick structure with. 64 rooms constructed on a thoroughly modern plan. Mr. Markham —states that it will be finished throughout in hardwood with tile floors for the gffice and bar and the furnishings throughout will be the best that money can buy. It is his intention to build a house that will be up to anything out- side the cities in peint of general excellence. The draughting of the plans will require about ten days.~ Bids will be . advertised |, for at once and the contract for the construction of the house let “as soon as possible. < —_— /i Relatives Cannot be Located. _The body of C. K.. Steen, who || died at St, Anthony’s hospital last Saturday from a shock of a surgical operation performed for stangulation of the bowels, is still at Naylor’s undertaking rooms and all efforts to locate the relatives of the dead man has so far been unsuccessful. Steen was stopping at Jens Hansen’s place when he was taken ill and| had been drinking very heavily for some days before he was taken ill and was compelled to go to the hospital. Unless: his relatives can be located the funeral will be held tomorrow “morning from the undertaking ation and discussion which kept the solons'in sessionuntit alate hour: A petition for a new sidewalk on Twellth street was referred to the street committee. The new sidewalk on the north side of the street. A petition pre- sented by Andrew Warfield for the vacation of an alley near his premises was denied and it was decided to call for bids for the laying of water mains-from the city water tower to the new wel of Warfield Bros. pending the development of the well. The idea is to expedite matters as much as possible, The recorder was also authorized to call for bids for the sprinkling of the city streets. = J. M. Markham addressed the council at some length ' regarding the necessity of sewerage to the new hotel project and the grading of lower Third street. A general disposition was mani- fested to make the required im- provements. The usual number of bills were allowed and an hour or more was spent in talking up various matters that will soon be up for consideration. EXPENSIVE FIGHT Wmumon calls for four blocks of » Finish Fight Between Two Dogs —+in‘Chinaware Department at 0’Leary & Bowser’s. Alderman Bowser is a mild mannered man,one of the best members of the city council and a conservative gentleman, but since an incident fvhich happened at O’'Leary & Bowser’s store last night shortly after 6 o’clock no one with a spark of justice in his bosom can deny to Mr. Bowser the divine right of standing un- qualifiedly for a special dog tax covering the canine nuisance in Bemidji. Two dogs started a fight di- rectly in front of the store-last night. During the melee they went through one of the base- ment windows and tumbled into the chinawate department. The crash of dishes and the general havoc which followed was a sight for sore eyes. Several dinner sets were ruined before the belligerents could be parted. The damage will be quite ex- tensive and the owners of-the dogs will probably be held re- sponsible for the loss. HIGH OLD TIME Inmates of Tenstrike ResortMake Disgraceful Scene on Vil- lage Stif@ets. Four women, inmates of the McDonald resort at Tenstrike, were the principals in a very dis- graceful occurrence at Tenstrike Saturday night of last week.

They were promptly arrested and all four were placed in one cell at the vil- lage jail, where they made night hideous with their orgies. Resi- dents of the village are consider- ably worked up over the affair and a sentiment that favors aless liberal municipal policy than that in vogue is fast developing. ‘Reed’s Studio — Joxv Doy Drotograghs and Wedding Stoups IN ANY STYLE, FINISH OR PRICE.
