e MOTHER'S "~ SORROW NewspaperAccount of Drown- ing of Charles Gregory Her First Information. AS BODY-REMOVED-FROMPOOR FARM CEMETERY. Drowned in Lake Bemidji Last November With Companion While Crossing. Mrs. Emily Gregory, of Fort Dodge, Iowa, accompanied by, Miss Parsons, of the same city, is in Bemidji today cnasad er- rand. Her visit here is for the purpose of removing the remains of her son,Charles Gregory, from the poor farm cemetery to Greenwood, Gregory will bere- membered as the young man who with a.companion, named Glenn Adams, was drowned while crossing Lake Bemidji early last November witha load of merchandise, taken from Kirk & Smith’s tote wagon: Until a short time ago Mrs. Gregory was ignorant of the whereabouts of her son or of his death and the first news she re- ceived was through a neighbor, who read an account of the drowning in the Minneapolis Journal and called her attention to it. “The young man had been absent from home for several years and a good:deal of the time his mother did not know where he was. She was at first uncer- tain whether or not the man drowned was her son and the communication she had with dif- ferent people in this city did not establish the fact positiyely, so she decided to come and make a __personal investigation. Several people who had known Gregory here were interviewed and she learned that her son had been in this section. The de- seriptions-of theman drowned did not agree in all details and it was decided to have the body disinterred. It had been buried at- the county poor farm: and when the coffin was opened by Undertaker Lalr this morning all doubt as to the identity was dispelled. Mrs. Gregory is a widow and - Gregory was her only son: She ordered the body re-interred at Greenwood. .No_More For Manila.

Suc- cessful Bidder for Red Lake Dead and Down. THIEF-RIVER FALLS COMPANY ALSO-A-BIDDER: Maijor Scott Will Recommend Bid of the Crookston Lumber Co. For Acceptance. Cass Lake, May 15, (Special to the Pioneer)—Major C. L. Scott, acting Indian agent, who résides at-Onigum and who s in charge of all the affairs of the Chippewa Indians of the Red Lake, Leech Lake, Cass Lake and Winnibig- oshish reservations, spent Sun- day in Cass Lake. To the writer, the major gave the results of the bidding for the blown-down tim- ber on the Red Lake reservation, which has been advertised for sale, during the past month, The bids were opened at Onigum, the Indian agency, last Tuesday, and but two companies submitted bids for the'timber. Those were made by the Thief River Falls Lumber company and the Crooks- ton Lumber company The Thief Riyer Falls company offered $5.50 per thousand for white pine and $4.50 per thousand for Nor- way. Contained in this bid was a clause; which allowed the cut- ting of all standing timber on the sub-division, as well as the blown down pine, really a suggestion to cut all timber, whether standing or blown down, clean. The Crookston Lumber company, which submitted the other bid, offered $5 per thousand for white pina and $4 per thousand for Norway. This is the mini- mum price at which pine was sold under the terms of the Mor- ris law, and was the minimum price-insisted—upon—by--Major Scott in his notices for bids in disposing of this timber, the same to be settled for on bank scale. The bid offered by the Thief River Falls company sug- gested a provision (that of cut- ting the standing timber) that was strictly against the law, and consequently their bid had to be rejected; and Major Scott has recommended that the bid of the Crookston company be accepted. The timber is located between the two arms of Red Like, and the only means of getting it out the place where it will be cut is through the Red Lake river. All the mills on the river and its and paraphernalia used in driving the logs are owred by practically one con- trolling interest or company, and that company and its subordinate organizations were the only ones which could handle the timberto advantage,.— Had-there been com- ‘munication from = where the timber is blown down to outside points other than by the water route, it is certain that a much larger sum would have been of- 33 atour lineof 3% ..Kodak &pplies..

Prospects That the Commission _Will Have Interesting Session Tonight. The charter commission is due to “smoke up” at the court house tonight and there is every indica- tion this afternoon that the meet. ing will be one of the most inter- esting the commission has had since its organization. The present move to organize the village 1nto a city under the late law has bhad a somewhat eventful and at times a stormy career. The personel of the commission first became a bone of contention and later the organ- ization furnished the subject matter for a fight. Later har- mony was restored and all parties to the controversy fell upon-each others’ necks and agreed to relegate the hatchet to the sub- soil.. The draughting of the charter was delegated to com- petent attorneys, who fulfilled their part of the contract-and the completed instrument has been ready for the consideration of the commission for some time. Various circumstances haye com- bined to delay the work and the commission has not accom- plished, in the minds of many, as much as it .should have. The blame for this is variously as- signed. - As to the charter itself but little \is known at present. It has been in the hands of the com- mission ever since it was finished by the attorneys. It is probable that_the charter will be passed up to the mayor and will be sub- mitted to a vote. Thereis talk of-a-mass-meeting of “¢itizens for its discussion, the instrument will receive due newspaper pub- licity and before election day all who wish. to inform themselves of its merits will have ample op- portuity. fered and the, bidding\‘ would haye been much more spi However,, the price offe: SANATORIUM Board of Control to Take imme- diate Action for Con- sumptives’ Retreat.

Mr. Kinkle informs us that the land already secured cost the state between-$9 and $10- per acre.

PAYS BIG TAXES Crookston Lumber Company Pays Large Realty Tax in Bel- trami County. County Treasurer French is entering up the tax receipts for the Crookston Lumber Company today and has something of a job on his hands, The Crookston Company —pays a total tax $17, 632.50 on its realty holdings n Beltrami county this year and is perhaps the largest taxpayer in the county. Other large lum- ber companys pay sums that aggregate from five to ten thous- and dollars. The Central Minnesota Immi- gration Company. This company was organized Jan. 1, 1900, and is composed of the following persons, all resi- dents of Mankato, Minn.: G. M, Palmer, president; Fred M. Cur- rier,vice president-andtreasurer; 3. D. Works, secretary and manager. Mr. Palmer is president of the First National bank of Mankato, and interested in several other enterprises, and is regarded as one of the strongest business men in southérn Minnesota. Mr. Currier is a member of the firm of Rosenberger & Currier,manu- facturing confectioners, and a di- 1 per thousand more for both white and Norway than was re- ceived for the other blown-down timber which was' logged on the Red Lake reservation during the past winter. Ifi is believed that there is .between twenty and forty million in the timber to be logged under ‘the bids just sub- mitted, and at the prices offered will-net “poor Lo’ a tidy ‘sum. If the major is as forunate in hav- ing matters concerned in the set- tling for the timber cut as ex- pediently as he was in the last winter deal, and-the loggers get at the timber as-soon as the con- tract is awarded (it can easily be logged this summer) the money for the reds derived from the pine on this deal will be ready in the early part of next winter.
