BOARD GET VERY BUSY Closing Sessions of Board 0f Equalization Prolific 0f Surprises. BIG CUT IN VALUATIONS VIL- LAGE OF KELLIHER. Pinch Bar Applied to Valuations in Bemidji Town and Ten- strike As Well. The board of equalization which has been in session at the court house during all of the past week equalizing taxes got very busy this morning and handed out a few surprises. The board began with the vil- lage of Kelliher and decided that platted property there was val ued atleast seventy-five per cent too high and property not platted at least twenty-five. This was the only cut made, however. It was found that the village of Tenstrike greatly underesti- mated itself and real estate out- side of platted property was raised 100 per cent. The town- ship of Bemidji was another low one and after the board had ap- plied the jack screws the valua- tion there went up 100 per cent. Turtle River town gets a raise of twenty per cent in valuation, Port Hope ten, Summit twenty, Northern fifty, and Lammers town sections one to eighteen is raised $2:50 per acre outside of platted property. It is estimated that the changes made by the board will raise the valuation about §50,000. Its sessions will probably be concluded this afternoon. Sev- eral representatives of the lum- ber and realty companies who have interests in the county are looking over the assessments affecting their interests and may have some chauges to suggest to the board this afternoon. Case is Hard Fought. The case of LeFitte vs. Stoner is just now occupying che atten- tion of the United States district court at Duluth andis a hard fought legal battle. The action is for the conyersion of property. LeFitte was logging contractor who contracted to put in some cedar for Stoner several years ago. He failed to comply with the conditions of the contract and Stoner tock the logging out- fiband property under attach- ment proceedings. A relative now claims the property by right of first mortgage. It has been tried in the United States dis- trict court three times. Attor- ney E. E. McDonald, of this city, is appearing for Stoner and Deputy Sheriff Bailey is one of the important witnesses. Il of Typhoid. Henry Noyacek and Patterson, the catcher and first baseman of the Crookston base ball team are both seriously ill of typhoid fever at Crookston.

It is ‘claimed for the club that it is the fastest Indian team in the busi- ness. It has been in this vicin- ity for some time and has played most ot the teams in the mnorth- ern league and is acknowledged to be a very fast bunch. Emerson will pitch the after- noon game for the locals tomor- row and Hazen will pitch the nignt game. Both games prom- ise to be interesting and a large attendance is expected. LOOKING FINE J. J. Jinkinson Thinks There " Will be a Bountiful Harvest In North Dakota.; J. J. Jinkinson returned yes- terday from a trip to Langdon, and other points in North Dakota. Mr. Jinkinson says the wheat crop is looking fine. It will be a trifle late, but with no accidents between this and harvest time which he estimates as still thirty days distant a large crop will be taken in the country which he visited. Mr. Jinkinson also took a little swing around the racing circuit and says he enjoyed the events very much and that there are some exceptionally clever horses in the Dakota country. KILLS A BEAR Woman Up the Mizpah Way Meets A Bear and Shoots Instead Of Screaming. Mizpah Message: While on a berrying expedition last Sunday, Mrs, George Farley, met a large bear. Instead of screaming or becoming panic - stricken, she very calmly and heroically shot the bear in the head, with the rifle she carried, and many of the neighbors have partaken of bear steak in consequence. Will Be a Great Pike. Matt Bright returned yester- day fram a drive up the Solway way which took him over a piece of the new county road to Red Lake. Mr. Bright says it will be one of the best in this section of the state and is being fixed up in good shape. A large force of men are working on it and it will be complete through to Red Lake in about a month. The settlers up that way feel very kindly toward Commissioner Sibley for the interest displayed in securing it and it will be valu- able to the entire country in that vicinity. A Big Offer, The Crookston Lumber Co. is offering a mammoth wagon box of short mill wood at the rate of %2 per load. This wood is ready r the kitchen stove, makes the finest kind of fuel for the kitchen fire, is splendid for kindling and is usable for all purposes. A few loads of this purchased now will dry rapidly and can be used at once as well as a_provision for the winter. Telephone 208 or °| call up Wes Wright, Prairie Chickens Plentiful. Reports received by the state °| game and tish commission from deputy wardens in various parts °| of the state indicate that prairie chickens will be numerous this year. Most of the wardens re- port an excellent crop of chickens The severe winter had little effect upon the “|birds and they have increased .| greatly, Has Beens To Play. There will bea game of ball week between the “Has Beens” and the regu- lar team. The *Has Beens’ will include such noteworthy’s as the Messrs. Whiie, Brooks, Barker and any number of other ¢“‘spavs”’ and the game promises to be very amusing. The date has not yet been fixed but it will be arranged in the very near future. Town and School Money Ready. County Treasurer French an- nounces that the June apportion- ment of school district and town- ship money will be ready for distribution to the district and township treasurers-some time next week. Payment will be made as soon as some small de- tails connected with ent can be fixed MAY EXTEND 'TO BEMIDJI Red Lake Transportation Co.’s Line May Be Built Here. DIRECTORS SAID TO FAVOR THE PROJECT. Matter to Be Presented to Busi- ness Men's Club At Its Next Regular Meeting. It is just possible that the ex- tension of the Red Lake Trans- portation Co.’s railroad now owned by Twin City capital may extend its line from Whitefish to Bemidji instead of to Tenstrike as has been announced. Senator Swedback, who re- turned today from a visit to Min- neapolis, while in that -city dropped into the law offices of Lind & Ueland and had a talk with both gentleman concerning the extension of the property as contemplated and says he is con- fident that with a very little effort the directors, who are now about half favorable to the pro- ject of building to Bemidji in- stead of Tenstrike. might be in- duced to look this way. One thing is certain, the prop- erty as it stands at present is not in a position to pay the divi- dends that it should and until it conneets with some of the trunk lines it will not be a holding alto- gether desirable. 1t would be quitea: convenient for the road to tap the M. & I. or Great Northern here, or nearly so, all things considered, as it would be to be built out from Whitefish to Tenstrike. It would bea good thing for Bemidjito have the line here as it will tap a resourceful country and those who would like to see this condition will interest them- selves to the extent of having the matter taken up with the busi- ness men’s club at their next meeting, Thursday of next week. WANT THEIR COIN Frank H. Kratka Talks About Reservation Sale And Its Results. According to Frank H. Kratka of Thief River Falls, who during the past ten days has toured the Red Lake Indian reservation on private business, the “Red Men”’ are not pleased with the prospect for a delay of the payments due them, as a result of the open- ing of the land near Thief River Falls. The provisions of the act opening up the lands makes the payments to the Indians im- perative ninety days after the closing of the sale and the ad- journment which was recently decided upon will defer the close for very uearly three months, consequently delaymg the pay- ment of the Indian allotments that length of time. The Indians anticipate the division of over $300,000 among the members of the various bands, but a conservative esti- mate places the total at $200,- 000. There are 1,300 Indians on the reservation who wlll share in the division of the money re- ceived and some $11,000 which has been paid for improvements and for the removal of the dead will have to come out of the gross receipts. The amount to be re- ceived by each indian according to the figures given above will be approximately $125 and the [n. dians are eager to get their money. Mr, Kratka stated that a meet- ing had been held by the braves as soon as the postponment of the sale was heard of and that in all probability a committee of Indians will be appointed to wait upon Congressman Steenerson to petition the payment of the money without reference to the delay occassioned by the post- ponment of the sale. The government regulations controlling the opening, however, will not permit of such action and unless a. special ruling is made by the department, the Indians will undoubtedly have to wait for their money until the time specified, ninety days after the completion of the sale which would be about January lst. Ball Grounds Secured. At the meeting Thursday even- ing last to secure ball grounds west of Conway’s lumber yard. M. D. Stoner sold something over five acres for $250, besides contributing $25. The grounds have been purchased and work: has been started on the ground, S0 that in a short time the club will haye a good field.—Black- duck Times. Do not bother about cooking dinner tomorrow. Armstrong & Underwood serv TO EXPLAIN Ed Warren’s Connection With Townsites Said to Have Been Much Exaggerated. The dismissal of E. L. Warren from the position of custodian of the ten sections of the forest re- serve at Cass Lake is said by friends of his to have been based upon a misconception of his con- nection with the Baudette town- site case, and it is asserted that an injustice has been done him by the summary action of the in- terior department. It develops, according to Mr. Warren’s friends, that he has at no time since accepting office been finan- cially interested in any- townsite proposition. His enemies, how- ever, took advantage of several letters which were written pre- vious to his acceptance of office and which were afterwards coun- termanded, to plan his over- throw. The letters were for- warded to Washington and the dismissal several days ago re- sulted. Explanations will be made by Mr. Warren and it is quite prob- able that the entire difficulty will be adjusted. IS A FAILURE. Blueberry Crop In This Section Will Be the Smallest For Many Years. The blueberry crop of northern Minnesota is a complete failure this season, despite the fact that reports ten days ago were very much to the contrary. The lale f & frosts did a damage that was|x greatly underestimated and in|; this section the crop will be the poorest in many years. Reports come from the fields where many pickers went the first of the week that the crop is small and a great disappointment as it had been —anticipated that it would be fair if not up to the standard | of previous years. Very few have been marketed in Bemidji and they are now selling on the local market at ten cents per quart. Many parties of pickers who come from the south will be disappointed and the failure of the crop is a matter of general regret. Richards Company.
