The coming Fourth of July celebration to be held in Bemidji will, without a doubt, be the most successful as well as the biggest event of the kind ever held in the city, The committee on solicitation have been entirely successful in soliciting funds for the celebration, and close on to $2,000 is now in the hands of the committees to distribute as prizes for floats, calithumpians, base ball game, firemen’s races and other eyents, and to pay for the most magnificent display of | tireworks ever seen in northern| Minnesota. The committee on, arrangements have arranged to] make the fireworks dispiay a special feature of the celebration, and several hundreds of dollars have been set aside for this alone ! The display will be in the hands of an agent for a St. Paul fire'\ works house, A number of other features have been secured, and visitors | to the city on the Fourth will without a doubt be treated to a full day’s enjoyment. Beautiful tloats are being prepared by most of the merchants of the city, and prizes will be awarded to the most artistically decorat- ed. The calithumpian parade will be made up of a-number of ludicrously dressed men, boys and girls, and promises to be not the least interesting of the things that will be presented. The base ball game will be between the fast Bemidji team and the Big Duluths. Itis unnecessary to state that this will be interest-! ing, as both teams are weli knuwnl‘ allover Minnesota. The Swiss| flainers, a company made| performers, will show) . und those irelined show houses will get; value receiyed by attending the performance. A grand ball will be given at the city hall in the evening after the other wmuse- ments have been exhausted, and during the entire day a number of bowerti ill be operated. The arrangements committee have prepared a partial list of progress at the court house and as yet little business has been transacted. No bills have been allowed. Today the commis- -| sioners revised the 1904 personal property tax list. The taxes up on three descriptions were can- celed after the board had deemed them uncollectable. The bond of the First National bank of Bag- ley in the sum of $40,000 was ap- proved. The bank was recently named by the board of audit as one of the depositories for county funds. Chas. E. Saxerud was elected vice chairman of the hoard. The board will probably continue the session tumorrow, as much unfinished business re- mains to be disposed of.

AAA VAN AAA ATKELLIHER Logging Camps of R.E. White, Logger, Destroyed By Fire This Morning, i AL TOTAL LOSS WILL AGGREGATE $2,500 T0$3,000. Shots Fired by Drunken Woods- man Said to Have Ignited Buildings. The two big logging camps of R. E. White at Kelliher were totally destroyed by fire this morning at 1 o’clock, together with the clothing, bedding, money and other efiects of 150 men who were employed at the camps. The total loss will aggregate from $2,500 to $3,000. No insurance was carried. The origin of the fire is not positively known, but it is stated that a drunken woodsman was shooting at one of the camps and that one of the shots entered the building and struck a gasolene can, the contents of which run over the floor. Some of the gaso- lene, it is stated, became ignited and the blaze rapidly spread all over the interior of the camp. The men were all asleep when the fire was discovered and a hasty exit was necessary for them to escape the fiames As a result they were forced to leave a large share of their per sonal effects in the burning build- ings and these were consumed Many of the men had their earn- ings in the clcthing and the money also went up in smoke, The camps were built by the Crookston Lumber company when the Kelliher spur was ex- tended from Funkley. They were of log and were located on Bull- head lake, on the outskirts of the village of Kelliher. Mr. White is a contractor” for the Crookston Lumber company and has occupied the camps since their erection. An official of the lumber com pany stated this morning that the destruction of the camps will not interfere with the work whict is now being carried on, and that arrangements had already been made to provide new quarters for the employes. TO PROSPECT NEW LANDS Applications Received for Mineral Leases on Lands in Cass County. State Auditor Iverson has re- ceived application for 79 mineral leases covering lands in Cass county, which have not before been prospected for minerals. Tle applications come from Wm. P. Lardner of Duluth and are for lands located in townships 189, 140, 141 and 142, range 96. These townships lie along the east boundary line of Cass county. The application for these leases by the Duluth man is supe. posed torepresenta number ¢f Duluth business men, has aroused considerable interest, as it is evident that a con'‘nuaticn of the Mesaba range into Cass ounty is what the pro pectors axpect to find. The lands lie south of ike Leech Lake Indian reservation and east of Leech lake. They are ina direct line with the general course of the Mesaba range,.and th> district over which leases have been asked for is sufficient- ly extensive to any probable change of course in the extension of the range into Cass county. The finding of iron on this land will open up a considerable new mining territory, and the result of the prospecting on the part of the Duluth man is anxiously awaited by the state officials. Mr. Lardner offers $1,925 with| his application, which covers the $25 license fee required on each || minerallease. The mineralleases are good for one year, and at the end of that time the leise holder may enter into a contract with the state covering 50 years, DEFECTIVE Council Instruots Well Dig-| - -gersto] ind Out How Much _ Water Can Be Secured, If 7N6t, Fill Out the Blank Printed Below and Send to May':f Henderson at City Hall or Hand to a Policeman.
