9 S UP AGAINST IT Thin Ice on Lakes and in Swamps Materially Hind- _ers Operationsj SUPERINTENDENT KLINE TELLS OF SERIOUS CONDITION. At Present Rate Only Small Part of Contracts Will Be Com- pleted This Winter. Superintendent I, J. Kline of the Walker & Akeley company is in the city today from Akeley and tells of a very serious condi- tion of affairs existing among the loggers in the vicinity of Akeley and Park Rapids, due to the lack of sufficient ice on lakes and swamps to carvy loads of any size to the landings, . “‘One company that I know of,” said Mr. Kline, “has a contract for cutting and hauling 23,000,000 feet of pine during .the present winter, and of this amount 15,000- 000 is on skids in the woods and only 3,000,000 feet has been hauled. This leaves a remainder | of 20,000,000 feet which must be landed before spring in order to complete the contract, and it is not at all probable that it will be accomplished. The company is operating in the vicinity of Ake- ley, and the logging road trav- erses a number of lakes and swamps. The thin ice has made it impossible to haul more than two tier upon asleigh, and unless the weather turns colder a large percentage of the logs now on skids will be left in the woods over summer. “This condition is serious to both the timber owner and the contractor. The former needs the logs, and the latter, unless his contract is completed, will not receive the amount of money for his work that he would had he been enabled to finish his con- tract, and consequeutly will run behind on his winter’s work. “If the logs are allowed to re- main in the woods during the summer, thzir value is consider- ably decreased, as they become dry and worm eaten and do not command the price paid for green timber.” Greatly in Demand. Nothing is more in demand than a medicine which meets modern requirements for a blood and system cleanser, suchas Dr. King,s New Life Pills.

A number of citizens of Ny- more are considerably wrought up over the departure of John Maney, a former saloon keeper in that city, who has disappear- ed leaving debts that aggregate several hundreds of dollars. The man is married and some time ago his little child died. He was compelled to borrow money with which to defray funeral expenses and the amount which it is alleg- ed he left unpaid is about $300. It is thought that he went to Cana- da. The debts are not collectable as he has no property to attach. His wife accompanied him. MANY PATIENTS AT HOSPITAL Number of Sick and Injured Confined at Present Time Largest This Winter. At the present time there are over 40 patients at St. Anthony’s hospital in this city— the largest number that has been confined to the institution at any one time this winter. The majority of the patients are woodsmen who have been injured or taken sick in lumber camps in this vicinity. During the winter the average number.of patients confined to the hospital is always larger than the summer months, owing to the injuries always received by woodsmen at the lumber camps. JABE HINES IN WASHINGTON Reported That Blackduck Dowieite Will Establish Colony in far West. A report is current at Black- duck to the effect that .Jabez Hines, alias Wm. M, Hines, is at Tacoma, Wash,, near which city he has been unusually busy for the past month buying options upon lands in that vicinity with a view of establishing a colony the nature of which will be similar to the one he threatened to plant in Beltrami county. Itis believed that he has given up the idea of establishing a colony at Hines Spur, as the options held by him have all run out. PRINCESS Grocery Co.

At a special meeting of the Blackduck Commercial club, a committee was appointed to solicit funds from the business houses for the purpose of pur- chasing prizes, also for offering cash prizes, and entertaining the Northwestern Firemens’ associa- tion which holds its annual tournament there June 20 and 24 next. The amount necessary to hold the convention there was placed at $1,000 an this the committee had little difficulty in raising in half a day’s work, thus assuring the city of the conyention and the firemen a royal good time. Besides the above amount the firemen have over $400 in the treasury which will be used for entertainment purposes and in purchasing prizes. Did You Know?

' LEAVES DEBTS| Final Efforts to Interest Be- midji People in Militia Will Be Made. YOUNG MEN SHOULD ENLIST AT ONCE. Unless Advantage of Opportun- ity Is Taken Company Will Go Elsewhere. A final effort, to arouse interest among the people of the city re- garding the designation of Be- midji as the location for a com- pany of the national guards will be made at a meeting to be held at the city hall on next Monday eyening. Unless the matter is taken up at this meeting no fur- ther effort to secure the appoint- ment will be made. E. H. Jerrard, who was sent as acommittee of one to interview General Wood at St. Paul regard- ing the appointment, has report- ed definitely that the appoint- ment can be had by Bemidji pro- viding the necessary number of enlistments are secured. Captain Reynolds, who has perhaps done more than any other man to secure the com- pany for this city, has stated that he will not take any action in the matter unless the young men of the city come forward and make application to join the company, as he intends to remove from the city permanently about Febru- ary 1. Mr. Reynolds feels very sorry that alack of interest is shown on the part of the citizens of the city. There is only one vacancy open at the present time and a large number of cities are looking for the appointment, and if the present opportunity is allowed to slip by Bemidji will not be in a position to be designated as the location of a company for a num- ber of years. CARIBOU AT "~ NORTHOME Passengers on Littlefork Stage See Herd of Twelve in Big Muskeg. Passengers on the Littlefork stage” yesterday saw a herd of about twelve caribou in the big muskeg. Théy crossed the road in a very leisurely manner about, 100 yards ahead of the stage and satisfied their curiosity by tak- ing a good look at the vehicle. The bunch of caribou has been seen there for several years and will doubtless continue to be not- withstanding the fact that a number of hunters went out looking for them after the stage driver reported having seen the animals.

But when coughs and colds are properly treated, the tragedy is averted. F. G. Huntley, of Oaklandon, Ind. writes; “My wife had the con: sumption, and three doctors gave her up. Finally she took Dr. King’s New Discovery for con- sumption” coughs and colds, which cured her, and today she is well and strong.”” It kills the germs of all diseases. One dose relieves.

PRIGE BAKING POWDER CO- Aanicaco PETER LARKIN AN INVENTOR Bemidji Man Applies for Pat- cent Upon Novel Device * for Clothes Line. Peter Larkin of this city has developed considerable genius as an inventor, and the latest thing tobe turned out by his fertile mind is a device for fastening a clothes line. Mr. Larkin has ap- plied to the patent department at Washington for the exclusive right to manufacture the device and expects to receive a patent ina few days. The contrivance is very simple,. but has been thoroughly tested and has given entire satisfaction. It can be fastened to a post and withous the aid of a pole, such asis gen- erally used for raising and low- ering a clothes line, the line may be brought to any height desired. The device is also useful for tying horses or on awnings. As soon as the patent is receiyed the manufacture of the device will be begun in this city and agents will introduce it through- out the country.

It was necessary tolay new floors in both the first and second stories, and many of the partitions were rebuilt. When completed the building will be practically as good as new, as every defective part will be repaired. - Loss Adjusted. An adjustment of the loss of Gill Bros. in the fire on Third street last. week was completed this afternoon. The stock was valued at $6,000 and the loss was estimated at about half that amount.

Says We Need the Money and Cannot Afford Revision. ‘Washington, Jan. 19.—Speaker Can- non, in a speech at the annual ban- quet of the national board of trade, said: “I think we have a pretty good revenue law both as regards the cus- toms and the internal revenue.” And he added with a smile: “We need the mouey.” 3 “Under existing conditions,” the speaker said, “my impression is that the congress of the United States will j hesitate to run the risk of halting the business interests of the country.
