5 Jdivery & DAMS CAUSE "MUCHWORRY Large Interests at War Over Maintraance of Missis- sippi Reservoirs. NORTH COUNTRY CLAIMS THEY| OVERFLOW LANDS. Residears Along River Below the Baws Maintain They Are Necessary. The large reservoirs maintain- ed by the government at Leech Lake, Winnibigoshish and other points an the upper Mississippi, are causing much worry to resi- dents of the north country as well as v people who live on the river below she site of the dams. In fact. there isa fight on be- tween the northernand southern portions of the state, the north counbry pecple demanding thas the maintainence of the reser-| as voirs he o d. while those of the south d re that they are a| public nacessity. { This yvear there has been a large awount of lands located | while under iof Nelson is in the possession of i i | i ’ MURDERER TURNS TALE Theodore Larsen, Who Con- fessed Murder of Nels Nel- son Changes Story. Crookston Times: Theodore Larsen, the confessed murderer of Nels Nelson in this city Nov- ember 16, 1904, has turned his tale and now denies any complic- I ity whateverin the crime which he has said to have confessed to. Larsen day before yesterday ex- ! hibited a pronounced change of heart, and turned directly around in his statements, saying that whatever he had stated] the influence of, liquor, or while his mind was wobbly, was entirely foreign to his memory and net correct. He has in other words denied the truthfulness of his own writ- ten confession made betorea justice of the peace at Northome in which he states point blank and - before witnesses that he killed Nelson in this city, some- time in November. The change in his demeanor is a startling | surprise to the authorities, but| of what use it will be to the ac- cused is hard to determine. His affidavit confessing the murder along the viver above the dams overflowed, and owners of the land clait that the overflow is caused by the operation of the dams, ux toe water is held back to such an extent that the water ex a level above the banks < of Cass Lake, Aitkin, Bemidji wnd other points on the upper Mis=issippi are now clam- oring f.r the removal of the dams | while the people of Minneapolis | and other cidies on the river ‘be- low the das are making an ef- fortto preveot the dis(:onhinuance} of the reservoirs, The norh country is, as a whole, practically united against the rsintaicance of the dams, and one of the objects of the! draii vue recently (ormed} in Bemidii is to secure the aid of | senatirs wnd representatives in cong in ~ecuring the removal | of the dams, | New Stabie May Be Built. | The ttrinikinan hotel building, | which ix 10 be three stories in height «nd one of which the, city should be proud, is nearing| completion, aad the building (rfj the Coluvh Brewing company | east of 1he Brinkman is also nearly tinished.

Further than that he has related his story of the tragedy, in the identical style and manner fiveI or six times to variovs people of Northome and to Sheriff Gonyea. i Tips of the Tongue I | Citizen: “It is to the interests of the people of Bemidji to aid as much as possible in the efforts of Minneapolis and St. Paul to secure the - construction of the M. & I. to Koobhiching before the Duluth, Virginia and Rainy Lake railway reaches that city.” Mayor Henderson: ‘‘The rais- ing of the Mississippi bridge east of Lake Bemidji will add greatly to the number of people traveling by water up and down the river between Bemidji and Cass Lake. The trip down the river is pleasant and the excite- ment of shooting the swift rapids of the river add greatly to thel charm of the excursion.” !

Bemidji is regarded as one of the most promising cities for secur- ing recruits in this section of the northwest, owing to its location in the midst of a large number of lumber camps, and it is thought that a large number of men may be secured for the service here. Capt. Thorpe states that the the meeting, wiil be held at the school building tomorrow even- ing commencing at 7 o’clock. The election of new officers to the school board isa matter in which every citizen of the city should be interested, and all voters should turn out and elect the right men for the positions, Few candidates have an- nounced themselves. E. F, Craw- ford, one of the retiring mem- bers of the board, has an- nounced that he will be a can- didate for re-election for the field and J. P. Lahr will ask the voters to support them for three year terms. Each of the above men are prominent in business circles of the city and will no doubt make excellent school offi- cers if tney are chosen. Mrs. George Carltonis con- fined to her home with sickness.

From there he goes to sea in one of the large battleships, serves at one of the navy yards on the Atlantic or Pacific coast, or is sent to one of the island possessions of the United States. No given isolated service. A number of the men in charge of substations under Capt. Thorpe have been all over the world twice during their first term of enlistment, some having taken caravan voyages into the heart of Africa.
