MAY MOVE THE CROOKSTON MILL Company Is Getting Tired of Frequent Attacks by At- torneys of That City. Crookston Times: Hovey C. Clark of the Crookston Lumber company was here this morning on his way to St. Hilaire to look after some of the company’s in- More Fire Hose and Better Fire Protection Are Planned. The state is to be asked to loan the city of Bemidji the $25,000 which it is desired toraise on the bonds voted last February. The council, in meeting last night, passed a resolution to make application to the state, and W. A. Gould and P. J. Russell are in St. Paul today conferring with the state board. The money which the state has power toloan out on securities of this nature are the school funds, and the board with which the two local representatives are conferring is a special one having charge of the placing of school fund, monies, The council also took action last night regarding the better- ing of the fire protection for the city. Itaccepted and adopted a report of the fire committee recommending the purchasing of 1,000 feet of additional hose, and recommending the building of three sluices or trenches from the lake to the boulevard at conven- ient points between the city dock and Twelfth street, The] plan is to run the hose down these sluices into the lake and draw the water up with the engine. This would mean far better protection for the whole residence district in the north end of town. Mayor Carter has a different plan; to build roadways from the bank to the shore at three con- venient places, instead of the sluice-ways, and run the engine down to the water’s edge. There was considerable discussion and the question was left open to be determined after the council in a body has investigated the two schemes. Mrs. John Meyer, who was or- dered to appear before the council and show cause why her license should not be revoked, failed to put in an appearance and witnesses will be introduced by the city attorney at the next meeting. She will probably lose her license. A resolution which caused ¢ m- siderable discussion was intro- duced by Alderman Smart and was adopted, Alderman Brink- man, McTaggart and Bowser voting no. It will compel the Townsite company to fill up the lots close to the Markham hotel and back of the steam laundry, which have become a public nui- sance on account of the stagnant water which stands there the year round, A resolution recommending the purchase of three or four cans for waste paper to be placed on the main streets, was also passed by a close vote. The cost will be about $20. Mayor Carter brought up the matter ot the vacation of the end of Beltramiavenue so as to bring the tub factory to this city, and upon his urgent request and that T. J. Miller, it was moyed and carried to begin vacation proceed- mngs to as to show the company that the council is friendly. The contract for street sprink- ling was let to Albert Smart for $79 a month. greEEEEEreteeeececereey ¥ CORRESPONDENCE 1 $33333333333333 i‘-)‘)i"’!fl SPAULDING. Carl Blom was to Lynx Mon- day.

John Stohl was a visitor to Wilton Wednesday. Mr.and Mrs, Westgaard were terests at that point. While here Mr. Clark expressed himself in no uncertain terms at the treat- ment the Crookston Lumber company is receiving at the hands of litigants in this city. He says since his return from the westa month ago not a day has passed when the company has net been served with one or more sum- mons in suits brought to recover damages upon all kinds and descriptions of trumped up charges most of them so ridicu- lous as to be laughable were it not for the fact that in each case the company is obliged tc go to the trouble and expense of de- fending these suits. This kind of thing has been going on for years here and although n nearly every instance those bringing the suits have been defeated in court, the annoyance has become so unbearable that unless there is a change for the better—and that mighty soon—the company has decided to adopt measuies that will begreatly toCrookston’s detriment. 3 It has been decided jthat next year one of the mills owned by the company in this state was to be moved to the Wilton line whick passes through the bullk of the company’s timber near Red Lake. Tt was not contemplated that the Crookston mill was the one to be moved for the reason that the yards hereare centrally located for shipping and the sale of refuse is a matter that enters largely into consideration. But Mr. Clark says positively that they will not submit longer to the kind of persecution they have been subject to and if there is any further continuation of it the mill be moved away from here next year. at Bemidji Tuesday.
