- THE BEMIDJT 1 VOLUME 4. NUMBER 128 SHAFT TO “BEMIDJ” FOR THE CITY PARK Council Grants Permission 'for the Erection of Monument to the Old Indian Chief. MEMORIAL SHAFT WILL BE OF GRANITE, TWELVE FEET HIGH Mayor Carter Has Drawings on Hand and Is Now After Necessary Money. The long-talked-of monument to Chief Bemidji is to be erected at last in the city park. At the meeting of the city council last night permission was granted Mayor Carter and the others haying the securing of the monu ment in charge to use the park for this purpose. The exact location will be determined later by the park committee and the mayor. Mr. Carter has been working on the monument plan for a con- siderable time, and although there have been some unavoid- able delays, he now has things in shape so that the plans will carry through with dispatch. Ie has secured plans and specitica tions for the monument and the work of raising additional money to make the project a success will be taken up with vigor, The monument will be a plain shaft of granite, twelve feet high and three feet in diameter at the base, and bearing appropriate inscriptions. It will be placed in the park, probably ona mound to raise it above the surrounding ground, and will, according to present plans, be surrounded by some kind of a fence to keep the too curious at a proper distance. The county was willing and anxious to have the shaft erected in the courthouse square, but it was thought that a more fiiting place would be the city park, A. R. Wilkinson of Crookston, attorney for the Great Northern railway, was in the city today. He is interested in some cases that will come up for considera- tion at this term of district court.

A com- INTER & COMPY >BEMIDJ1, MINNESOTA, MON‘DAf EVENING, SEPTEMBER UP TO SCHOOLHOUSE Council Plans to Correct an Over- sight, If It Can Now Be Done. PROPERTY OWNERS WOULD HAVE TO ADVANCE PART OF MONEY County, City and Schoo! Board Would Contribute.—Too Late for Reg- ular Assessments. The sewer system will bs ex- tended "to the main schoolhouse up either Minnesota or Beltrami avenue, if the plans of President Gould and the city council can be carried into effect. The problem was brought up before the council last night and a committee of two, Aldermen Miller and Graham, was_ ap- pointed to confer with a commit- tee from the board of education to devise ways,and means for ex- tending the sewer so0 as to give relief to the school building. When the plans for building the sewer were voted upon the needs of the big public building were entirely overlooked, through oue of those inevitahle oversights which are-bound to occur in the best regulated bodies, and the omission was not discovered until after August1, {the last date when it is possible under the charter to let contracts for improvements to be paid out of the permanent improvement revolving fund, President Gould at once set to work on the problem and be lieves he has arrived at a happy solution. The county is willing to pay a portion of the expense of extending the sewer to the courthouse, the board of educa- tion will contribute and the city will pay for the sewer at the crossings. This will leave the balance to be paid by the resi dents along the street. Theidea is to have the residents advance the best wishes of a large circle {the money for the work. That is, instead of being given three years’ time in which to pay their assessments, they are to pay the whole sum 1n advance. Professor Ritchie attended the meeling last night and urged the needs of the school, and Alderman Miller made a motion calling for the appointment of a committee to confer with the school committee. The Burglar and the Waif. Few, if any, plays in recent years have created so much comment as C. T. Dazey’s, “The Burgler and the ‘Waif,” which, for six weeks, crowded the Garden Theutre, New York, to its capacity, and consequently there is likely to be an exciting scramble for seats next Saturday night, Sentember 22, when it is to be presented at the opera house. The play, like most of C. T. Dazey’s contributions, is very much up-to-date. Indeed, the great success the play has enjoyed is chief- ly due to the fact that the story in it’s main feature is almost identical with life dramas which the courts of justice have had to deul with of lute.

Hammond Returns Home From a Painful Mission to Little Falls. Charles M. Hammwond retarned yesterday from Little Falls, where he had the sad task of searching for the body of his brother, S. D. Hammond, who was drowned in the river near that city, and of burying the body after it was found. Although there were forty or fifty in the searching party, Mr. Hammond discovered the body himself. With his brother-in-1 law, Joseph Green, he was in a boat pushing the logs hither and thither in a log jam near the point where the drowned man was last seenm, ‘when the body came suddenly to th> surface, having been held under the water by the logs The dis- covery was a severe shock to Mr. Hammond, and he came very near to fainting. S. D. Hammond disappeared September 4, when he was seen last on a boom at about 10 o’clock in the mcrning. It is supposed that he slipped and in falling struck his head on a log, so that he was unable t> save himself. Since that date dynamite and other means have been used in an effo:t to recover the body, but invain. Charles Hammond went -to Little Falls last Saturday to join in the search. The funeral was held Sunday, the day the remains were found, and burial was in Okeland ceme- tary in Little Falls. The drowned man leaves a wife and child, and he carried insurance in the sum of $2,000 in the M. B. A. He had also taken two degrees in the L.O.O.F. "Phone Comes to Big Falls. Big Falls, Sept. 18 —(Special to the Pioneer.)—Big Falls is now connected, internally, as it were, by a “hello” system, the local]| telephone exchange having been completed and the ’phones put into working order Monday morning. Charles Swedback owns the new exchange, and from present indications the service is going to be .first-class in every respect. There were twenty-four original subscribers who took phones and the number will be added to steadily. The managers of the Northwestern Telephone Exchange company have not yet stated when they will make long distance con- nections between Big Falls and Northome, but the installing of the line from Northome was recommended favorably by the district wanager and it is ex- pected that the line will be built during the early winter. W. A. Ferris, lineman for the M. & I. railway, put in the switchboard. ‘‘Bob” Goes to Brainerd. Robert Chesney, who has had. charge of the M. & I. local yards, left this morning for Brainerd and will hereafter have charge of the steam shovel train, which will be sent out of Brainerd to- morrow morning to Big Falls to work on filling in the approaches to the bridge being built across the Big Fork river at that place. G. F. Edwards will succeed “Bob’’ as foreman of the yards here, while' the latter is at the “Falls.” Contracts Let. The Nymore board of educa- || tion has let the contract to Thomas Johnson of Bemidji for || the erection of an addition to the present schoolhouse in that vil- lage. 'The new' structure will contain two rooms and will be finished and ready for occupancy within two weeks. The contract price for the building is $2,440, and Johnson will also install steam-heating plant, the ‘which will be $335. 4 L e | MINNESOTA HISTORICAL IONEER.
