Bemidji has become guite notice- able, During the past two or three days it is estimated that the number of men that have re- turned to Bemidji after spending the harvest season. .in ‘' North Dakota and western Minnesota is no less than several hundreds, and the east bound. train today brought in a good logd. It is stated on good authority that never before in the history of this section of northern Minne- sota have wages for work in the woods or on railroad work- been so good, and local employment offices find no trouble what- ever 1 sending out all the re- turning harvesters. In fact, one employment office in Bemidji sent a man to Grand Forks,where 63 men were hired for the Red Riyer Lumber company at Ake- ley, where they were taken to- day.

That the election of the first mayor of the city may have something to do with the gamb- ling question is the opinion ex- pressed by many people of the city, but others are of the firm belief that gambling is closed for good. Much talk is heard about the matter, and many dif- ferent opinions have been ad- vanced as to the cause for the sudden action of the county at- torney. Some believe that Mr. McDonald wants a man that he may select for mayor and that the close-up was for the purpose of lining up certain elements in the city. Others are of the opinion that the saloonkeepers themselves wanted the close-up. Still others believe that the only reason for Mr. McDonald’s ac- tion was that he, together with the police force, were opposed to the adoption of the charter and that he took this method of ‘“‘get- ting even,” there having been a few saloon men who had been opposed to the charter but who at the last minute supported the document. 'THEY DECLINE TO BE MAYOR Many Candidates Talked of But Most of them Refuse to Run. The topic of universal interest in Bemidji is the question as to who will be the next mayor of the city. A great many have been “men- |, tioned”, but those most talked of, perhaps, are Mayor Hender- son, Dr. Gilmore, H. W. Bailey, W. N. Bowser, John Gibbons: and J, W. Irwin. Mayor Hender- son and Dr. Gilmore refuse to accept the position under any circumstances. Neither Mr. Bai- ley nor Mr. Irwin have made statements. Messrs. Bowser and Gibbons look - upon the posi- | tion as one of unpleasant respon- sibilities but could probably be induced to accept if it could be |demonstrated that the majority jof the people of the city want them. | No one has been found thus {far who is willing to announce himself as a candidate, the dis- position being to let the people | speak in unmistakable terms as | to whom they want.

Attention of Judge McClenahan Taken Up Today by Civil Action. . Judge W, 'S. McClenahan at 1:15 o’clock - this afternoon im- posed sentences upon Ben Nel- son, Roy Emery and Rachael Cleveland. Nelson received a term of seven years in the state’s prison at Stillwater, as did Emery, while the Cleveland woman was given five years. The crime of which Nelson was found guilty and to which Mrs. Cleveland and Emery were accessories is one of the worst ever committed in Beltrami county., The testimony during the progress .of the two trials ‘which resulted in the conviction of the trio was of such a charac- ter that its publication was im- possible. It developed, how- ever, that Nelson assaulted 14 year old Alice Crawford at Ten- strike last summer while the woman, Mrs. Cleveland, and Emery, a colored man, assisted him.

WOULD MEAN BANKRUPTCY. President Hill Talks on Federal Rate Regulation. Portland, Ore., Oct. 4—President J. J. Hill of the Great Northern railroad was the principal speaker at a ban- quet tendered by the Lewis and Clark exposition to Mr. Hill and President Howawd Elliott of the Northern Pa- cific. President Hill said: “Notwithstanding the average rate paid by the people of the United States is only about 40 per cent of that of Russia we have a great many people who are preaching a doctrine for the regulation of railroad rates by federal authority. “It has been announced in an offi- cial manner that there has been no | reduction of rates in the United States for twenty-five years; that tar- iffs haye been reduced at times, but that whenever a tariff was reduced the classification. was given another turn of the wheel and advanced so at }least to offset the reduction in the tari®® .
