SALOON MEN KICK Say That Employment Of- fices Are Too Hasty in Sending Men to Woods. SHOULD Al;LO\\’ “LIVE ONES” T0 SPEND THEIR MONEY. Instead of That Meet the Men at Trains and Hurry Them Off to Work. Much complaint has been heard from saloon men in Bemidji about the manner in which the local employment offices send out men to the woods without allowing them to spend a few days here before going to the woods, and expressions from proprietors of liquor establishments in the city indicate that no good feeling ex- ists among the fraternity for those who are instrumental in sending the men out to the woods before they have a chance to spend any money in the city. The same troubles has been experienced nearly every" fall about the time that the festive lumberjack returns from the harvest fields with his pockets well lined with shekels, and while the saloon men admit that the employment offices have as much a right to do business as anybody else, they think that it would be a great scheme to allow the men to remain here for a few days before shipping them out o the woods to spend the win- ter. The employers, however, think that the practice of sending out the men who hire out at the employment offices does not in- terfere with the business of the saloons, as this class very sel- dom spend their money in liquor houses and consequently it does not matter to the saloons whether the men remain in town for only a day or two weeks, Says Freight 1s Excessive. A letter was received this morning by Attorney Henry Funkley of this city from John Beulow of Hovey Junction which asked Mr. Funkley to act as at- torney in a replevin action which Mr. Beulow is about to institute against the Minnesota & Interna- tional Railway company to recov- er a team of horses, household goods, etc., which he shipped from Mankato some timeago. At the time the goods were shipped, Mr. Beulow claims, he paid $67 freight charges but upon the ar- rival of the car at its destination the agent there received orders from the company’s officials to collect $120 additional, as the amount which Beulow had paid was too small. Mr. Funkley will begin the action at once, as Mr. Beulow holds a receipt from the agent of the company at Mankato for the amount he paid at the time the goods were shipped, which he supposed was the full charge for the use of the car.

CARSON, Mgr Phone 282 GOT $100,000 FOR A DAM Rainy Lake lm‘provément Association Files Its Arti- cles of Incorporation. The construction of a dam to utilize the power generated by Koochiching falls on the inter- national border, and the erection of extensive flour and pulp mills at Koochiching and St, Francis are contemplated by the Rainy Lake Improvement assoc- iation, according to its articles of incorporation filed last week with the secretary of state. The capital of the company is $100,000 and its indebtedness is limited to $5,000,000. It is re- ported to be backed by the large lumber companies operating in the Rainy Lake region, and the Koochiching Power company, The incorporators are E. Brooks, E. W. Backus, A. E. Horr, R. L. Horr, G. J. Rock- wood of Minneapolis and H. B. Winchell of Butte, Mont. 3 The construction of a dam at Koochiching Falls, which is ex- pected to develop 30,000 horse power, for useat both the Ameri- can and Canadian towns, is the first improvement contemplated. It is expected that temporary work on the cofferdam, which will precede the concrete con- struction will be begun next year. It is also planned to construct a canal between Lakes Kabatogama and Namakan near Koochiching,; to facilitate logging operations and raise the level of Rainy Lake three or four feet, increasing the available power. : After the power is developed it is the plan to erect extensive flour and paper mills both at Koochiching and at St. Francis, so that both American and Cana- dian wheat and pulp wood can ba manufactured by the power with- out the interference of the tariff.
