FIGURES HELD UP Census Bureau Will Not Give| Out Statistics Until Totals Are Footed. e TROUBLE IN, MINNEAPOLIS CAUSES DECISION. And Orders Have’|Been Issued By Secretary of State Against “Bulletins.” No positive information in re- gard to the exact figures of the state census as regards Bemidji and Beltramircounty as well as all other cities, towns and coun- ties of the state can be obtained until all of the totals have been completed, and the final reports of the state census bureau have been completed. Then the news will be sent out at one and the same time, andno dissatisfaction can possibly arise. Such is the result of the direc- tions received from Secretary of State Hanson. These directions were given out as the outcome of the recent announcement in Minneapolis of the city’s population. The total was printed by one of the Min- neapolis papers before the mat- ier was ripe and the result was hard feelings on the part of the other papers, and some severe criticisms of the methods employ ed by the census director. Sec. Hanson then issued orders not to give out any definite re- turns whatever. | Minneapolis will show a popu-| lation of 257,000, according to the | tigures, but the books are said | to haye been padded in many in- stances. Stories are heard of how enumerators copied hohell registers for months back and adopted other such methods of swelling the population of the Flour City.

The county produces some of the finest vegetables grown and the number of small vegetable farms in the immediate vicinity of Bemidji is greater this year than eyer before. Northern Minnesota berries are now ripening. Home grown strawberries of exceptional size and flavor have been offered dur- ing the past two weeks and rasp- berries are now beginning to be picked. The blueberry season will not begin in earnest for some two weeks. MANY RUINED BY THE FLOOD Hundreds of Farmers on Up- per Mississippi Have Lost Everything. The flood-stricken residents of northern Minnesota have ap- pealed to Governor John A. John- son for assistance. In their ex- tremity they have asked the chief executive to overlook the techni- calities of the law and grant some measure of relief, either through an appropriation from State funds or by authorizing the sev- eral counties to make overdrafts on some of the county funds. The floods were brought about by the alleged mismanagement of the reservoir dams. Aitkin county proposes to give relief by letting the sufferers work on‘roads in the county, but the road and bridge fund is ex- hausted, and the residents have asked the governor to authorize them to overdraw the fund. The residents also ask the governor to suggest a method of assisting the flood sufferers. At the M.

COLE DENIES STORY Connecting Him With Guber- natorial Conference at St. Paul. Representative A. L. Cole of Walker, who has been credited with initiating a scheme fora conference of leading Republi- cans to select a candidate for governor, denies that impeach- ment. He does not think such a gathering would be productive of much good, but would like to see at the proper time a meeting of the leaders of the factions in last year’s campaign for the purpose of getting together. Mr. Cole feels called upon to deny a statement in a Duluth paper, to the effect that he has been traveling over the state se- curing signers for a call for the conference, “In my opinion more harm than good will come from the grooming of a gubernatorial candidate now. When the party becomes thoroughly harmonious and its members not working at cross.purposes, nor looking ask- ance at each other, then the selection of a cardidate who pro- viding that such work of harmon- izing is undertaken and accom- plished at a very early date,” fiPuget Sound berries at the Princess grocery. Fresh today. Bringsi Out Sail Boats. The fine breeze last evening brought out all the sail boats on the lake and some fine runs were made. Itisa matter of regret that while Lake Bemidji is well supplied with launches there are not more sail boats. The lake is just the right size for fine sport with a sail boat and a number of boats fwith frequent regattas would add materially- to the at- tractiveness of Bemidji as a summer, resort. Liyely Runaway.

STORIES ARE EXAGGERATED Superior Mai Back From Upper Waters of the Mississippi. i O Myron Tuhbs, says the Super- for Telegram, returned | from a cruising and exploration trip in the woods in the vicinity of Deer River and Cass Lake. He says the stories being sent out in re- gard to the great danger from high waters in the Mississippi and prospect of the dams giving way are in his estimation the work of “string fiends” to a large extent. Mr. Tubbs said that he was in the vicinity of the big Winni- bigoshish dam a few days ago and that the water was then four feet or more from the top and that since then he knows that it has not risen over two feet and he does not see where the danger comes in. that all the dams along the river are immense concrete affairs and greatdamage. done, Mr. Tubbs says, in the region where'he was, is that the meadows along the river have been overflowed and some hay there will be lost. The river is a little higher than a driying head and not as high as a flood. Mr. Tubbs said that things were not so serious but that the sawmill at Cass Lake was able to operate. Nolice.
