CARSON, Mgr Phone 282 THROUGH SWAMPS Kelliher Diteh Finished Thru Three Miles of Tama- rack Swamp. HIGH COMPLIMENT FOR CON- TRACTOR JOHN KOHLER, Citzens However, Have Not Lived Up to Their Agreement With Drainage Commission. Secretary of State Peter K. Hansen and Engineer George A. Ralph of the state drainage com- mission returned this morning from Kelliher, where they have been to inspect the state ditch just completed by Contractor John Kohler. The ditch. is three miles in length straight through a tama- rack swamp, emptying into Shot- ley Brook. According to Mr. 29 | Hansen, however, the ditch is not of the benefit which it should be inasmuch as the citizens of the county who persuaded the com- mission to dig the ditch agreed to dig oneand one half miles of the ditch themselves to complete it and this has not been done. *It was also agreed,” said Mr. Hansen, “that corduroy should be laid along the route of the ditch upon which the dirt from the ditch was to be thrown, This would have madea fine road and the road would have beea even more valuable than the ditch. The corduroy was not laid how- ever.” Both Mr. Hansen and Mr. Ralph speak in the highest terms of Contractor John Kohler, de- claring that he is one of the most satisfactory contractors fihat the board has ever dealt with, doing his work prompty and well and without complaint. The state drainage commission consists of Governor Van Sant, State Auditor Iverson and Sec- retray of State, Mr. Hansen, Most of the work of inspection. however, has been left to Mr. Hansen and to the engineer of the commission, Mr. Ralph. “We tried hard to get Governor Van Sant to come with us this time,” sald Mr. Hanson, ‘“but since we took him up into Roseau county to see the Badger ditch, we have not been able to budge him. We told him then we would treat him well and we did our best but I suspect that he was not altogether enamoured of that carriage ride of 130 miles.”’” The jovial secretary of state paused and sighed, “I should certainly like to have had the governor up in that Kelliher swamp,” he said. TOWNSITE HEARING ON Crookston Land Office Taking Testimony in Spooner Contest Case. The Spooner contest case, in which a number of local gentle- men are heavily interested, is be- ing heard before the officials of the Crookston land office today and the result of the hearing will be eagerly looked for as the case has cause considerable comment throughout the entire county. Matt Gannon, chairman of the board of supervisors of Spooner township, made application to file for homestead purposes, upon 80 acres of land which in- volved the townsite, but his ap- plication was refused by the offi- cials of the Crookston land office, as the land had been entered some time before by gentlemen from Bemidji and Baudette for townsite purposes. Thelaw pro- vides that a county judge may make filing upon land for town- site purposes upon the petition of other individuals, and Judge Spooner of this city accordingly filed upon the land. The question to be settled today is whether Mr. Spooner is a “county judge” or not, Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy Is Pleasant to Take. The finest quality of granulated loaf sugar is used in the manu- facture of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, and the roots used in its preparation give it a flayor similar to maple syrup, making it quite pleasant to take. Mr. W. L. Roderick, of Poolesville, Md., in speaking of this remedy, says: “I have used Chamber- lain’s Cough Remedy with my children for several years and can truthfully say it is the best preparation of the kind I know of. " The children like to take it and it has no injurious after ef- fect. For sale by Barker’s Drug store. Tonight.

Cost at First Would Be Consid- erable But After Installa- tion Small. Since the first mention of a new fire alarm system for Be- midji,opinions have been solicited from the business men of the city as to their views on the sub- ject and it seems that the need of some arrangement which would turn in an alarm with dispatch is apparent toall. Not a dissent- ing voice has been heard, and those who are most heavily inter- ested in fire protection because of their large realty holdings are in fayor of bringing about the in- stallation of anew system at once. The recent mistakes and delays which have occurred be- cause of the failure of the pres- ent system to be effective have set many people to thinking very seriously on the matter and it is possible that the city council will be approached. W. M. Gibson, the Waterous fire apparatus salesman, was in the city yesterday and gave out his views regarding the installa- tion of a plant here. Mr. Gibson was of the opinion that a city the size of Bemidji and which was composed of so many wooden buildings should have some ade- quate means toturn in a fire alarm which would register ata central station the locality of the firein such a manner that no mistake on the part of the firemen could be made. He explained the mechanism of the Gamewell, one of the systems which are used in small cities, and while he does not handle this system, he recommended it very highly as the only one which would give effective service and was reliable. “The system,” said Mr. Gibson, “that would be required for a city of this size, would be about a ten box plant, The city could be divided into ten districts with one of the boxes placed in each, the location of the boxand the key which would be used in turning inan alarm to be known to the resi- dents in that section of the city. It could be so arranged that the district in which the fire was lo- cated would be registered at the central fire station where the ap- paratus is kept and also at the electric light plant. In case the fire started in district No, 1, one toot of the whistle would notify the firemen, in district No, 2, two toots, etc.” It is understood that the fran- chise which was granted to the telephone company by the village council- when the telephone ex- change was instituted here was with the provision that the com pany’s poles were tobe used should a fire alarm system be in- stalled. This would consider- ably diminish the cost of a plant. MANY MEN FOR UNCLE SAM Local Recruiting Office Does Big Business During Past Few Days. During the past three days Sergeant Witte of the local re- cruiting office has secured eigh- teen men for service in the United States army, fourteen of which will be sent to their des- tination today and the remainder in a couple of days. Of these who will be shipped today, seven will go direct to Honolulu, five to Seattle and two to New York for service in the hospital corps. Most of the recruits now being enlisted are woodsmen and have been tempered by the many win- ters they have worked in the woods to endure the hardships of army life. Sergeant Witte is making an enviable record as a recruiting officer in Bemidji, and few stations in the country have enlisted so many men as the one in Bemidji. Not a Sick Day Since. “l was taken severely sick with kidney trouble. I tried all sorss of medicines, none of which relieved me, One day I saw an ad of your Electric Bitters and determined to try that. After taking a few doses I felt relieved aud soon thereafter was entirely cured, and have not seen a sick day since. Neighbors of mine have been cured of rheumatism, neuralgia, liver and kidney troubles and general debility.” This is what B. F. Bass, of Fre- mont, N. C., writes. Only 50c at all druggists. YOUNG LADY IS BUNCOED Fortune Teller Makes Prom- ise to Locate Lost Money, Then Disappears. GIRL GAVE HER $30 TO MAKE SEARCH FOR VALUABLES. Promised to Return to Bemidii, But No Sign of Her Has Been Seen as Yet. What seems to be one of the most clever bunco games ever perpetrated in Bemidji was pulled off by a trayeling fortune teller and as a result Miss Ida Olson, a young lady who rooms on lower Bemidjiavenue, is shy $30 in money which she bor- rowed from her sister. Miss Olson does family sewing in the city and upon returning home from her work one evening about three weeks ago found that her trunk had been opened and $18 in money had been taken from the tiunk during her ab- sence. She did not notify the police of the occurrence, but up- on the arrival of a fortune teller in Bemidji last week consulted her and learned that it was a part of the profession to locate lost or stolen money. She en- gaged the woman, who, upon commiencing the search for the missing coin, asked the girl for $30, and promised that with this amount and her power she would locate the money and return the whole amount to the girl. Miss Olson replied that she had no money, but upon being pressed by the fortune teller, she went to her sister, whois em- ployed at the Bemidji Steam laundry, and borrowed the nec- essary amount to carry on the search. She handed it to the woman, who went away promis- ing that the money would be paid back last Monday. However, the young lady waited until yester- day and no trace of the lost trea- sure has developed and she now thinks that she has been swin- dled. In speaking to a Pioneer re- porter this afternoon, Miss Olson said that the fortune teller looked so honest that the thought of be- ing swindled never entered her mind, and took it as a matter of course that the return of her money, amounting in all to $48, was only a question of time. She says that the next time she loses money she will profit by the les- son and pursuea different course for its recovery. Foot Ball Dance. The foot ball dance to be given tomorrow evening by the local team at the city hall promises to be one of the most successful social functions of the season. A large crowd will be present and already many tickets have been sold by members of the team. The usual precautions for the ex- clusion of obnoxious characters will be taken and the floor will be managed in the best possible manner. The Bemidji orchestra, which have been engaged to furn- ish musie, have recently received a large amount of the latest music available, and will un- doubtedly give good satisfaction. Disastrous Wrecks. Carelessness is responsible for many a railway wreck and the same causes are making human wrecks of sufferers from throat and lung troubles. But since the advent of Dr. King’s New Dis- covery for consuwaption, coughs, and colds, even the worst cases can be cured, and hopeless resig- nation is no longer necessary. Mrs. Lois Cragg of Dorchester, Mass., is one of many whose life was saved by Dr. King’s New Discovery. This great remedy is guaranteed for all throat and lung diseases by all druggists.

The funeral will take place tomorrow fore- noon at 10 o’clock. Doesn’t Respect 01d Age. It’s shameful when youth fails to show proper respect for old age, but just the contrary in’ the case of Dr. King’s New Life Pills. They cut off maladies no matter how severe and irrespective of old age. Dyspepsia, jaundice, Fever, constipation all yield to this perfect pill. 25c at all drug stores. Falling Tree Breaks Leg. A. G.
