Trains will be running on the new Wilton & Red iake railway October 1, and the road will run directly into the present agency.

POPULATION ABOUT 4,500 WITHOUT NYMORE. Practically all the Counting is Completed Except Outlying Distriets. The population of Bemidji is probably very close to the 5,000 mark. 3 While nadefinite figures can | be obtained asto the. enumer- ation, it is known that the work thus far shows more than double the population of five years ago when the national census was taken. The figures then gave Bemidii’s population as 2,183 and there is every reason to believe shat when the count is completed this month the city’s population axclusive of Nymore will be wbout 4,500. Nymore will add uearly’ 500 to this making the total population in the immediate wighborhood of five thousand Census enumerator Swedback has completed the canvass of all of Bemidji except Mill Park and 'he outlying districts: Reports filed at St. Paul from she different districts of Bel- irami county which have sent in veturns thus far'show an in- crease of about one third in the population of the county.

Grand Forks Herald: After thorough investigation of the claim of a Bemidji man that he had been robbed of $300 in the hollow the local authorities have decided there is no truth in the story. The Bemidji man told his tale of woe when arraigned in Judge Sullivan’s court with his wife on a charge of disorderly conduct. A friend paid his fine and the police investigated the robbery story. It was found that the Bemidji man had but a small amount of money on his person when he started out to see the sights. for an injunction to restrain Mr. Olson from exercising the duties of the office of county commis- sioner is such that no appeal from the decision of the judge is possible.
