Local em- ployment offices are unable to fill their orders, and indications are that before the season is will be on. Back From the West. | paralysis E. S.

COUNTY SEAT FIGHT IS UP Bagley-Shevlin Controversy to Be Settled at District Court Term at Bagley. What promises to be one of the most interesting terms of court ever held there opened at Bagley yesterday with Judge M. A. Spooner, of Bemidji, on the bench. Besides a large calender the main interest centers in the county seat fight as there are Lwo cases on that subject that are on the calendar for this term, Shevlin has been struggling to get the county seat changed from Bagley to that place for some time. Of the five commissioners two are in favor of the change while the three stand pat with the Bagley element. The case of Arne Higdem vs. the county commissioners of Clearwater county, in which the plaintiff seeks to restrain the board of commissioners from recognizing the petition of the Shevlin people for the change of the seat, is one of the cases. Hig- | dem is a Bagley man. Vaule & Murphy cf Crookston represent the board in this case. The other case is that of Geo. B. Upton vs. the commissioners, in which the plaintiff seeks to restrain the commissioners from expending any money whatever on the city hall that was donated by Bagley to the county for court house purposes. The com- missioners had planned on re- pairing the place to the extent of about $2,000.U pton is a Shevlinite and is represented by the same firm as is fighting for the Shevlin people in the first action. The fight promises to be one of the most interesting that has eyer been pulled off in this sec- tion, as both parties have plenty of money and unlimited guanti- ties of sand. At present the officials of Clearwater county are scattered all over the town of Bagley in an apparently homeless condition and if the fight is not settled soon, they will remain in that condition. M’AYO0Y TAKES i Backus-Brooks Company Did | REPORT IS | UNFOUNDED Not Purchase Sawmill From Brainerd Lbr. Co. SHEVLIN - MATHIUS COMPANY OWNS PROPERTY. i Will Remove Machinery to Bau dette, Where Large Plant Will Be Built. A report was published in yes- terday’s Duluth News Tribune! to the effect that the Baekus-i Brooks Lumber company of Min- neapolis had purchased the saw- millat Brainerd owned by the Brainerd Lumber company and would saw all its timber along the Minnesota & International railway at that point. Information of a reliable na- ture received by the Pioneer to- day is to the effect that this re- port is entirely unfounded, inas- much as the Brainerd mill was purchased by the Shevlin-Mathius | company of Minneapolis some time ago. This company will re- move the machinery to Baudette, where a large sawmill will be built. The report of the sale of the Brainerd mill to the Backus-| Brooks company is evidently only | one of the many ‘‘rumors” which have been floating around in the north country for several years past.
