Phone 30 ‘BEMIDII MAN BUYS FAMOUS “ISINETTA” Speediest of Minnesota Harness Mares Now the Property of J. W. Irwin. . NEVER ENTERED IN RACE, BUT SHE CAN PACE IN TWO MINUTES New Owner Plans on Entering Mare in Race Circuit Next Season. To a Bemidji horseman is now given the distinction 6f owning what is pronounced by experts to be the fastest-harness mare in the state of Minnesota, “Isinetta,” formerly theproperty of S, J. Phillips, of Litchfield. While the races were being held here, visitors to the stables at the race track were given the privilege of looking at a bright- eyed, intelligent looking' brown mare that was as sleek looking and clean cut as any:picture. This elegant piece of hgrseflesh was “Isinetta,” and in exhibiting her “Dad” Phillips shéwed al- most as much fondness as a mother for her child. J. W. Irwin, president of the Beltrami1 County Agricultural society, and an enthusiastic horseman, made overtures to Phillips for the purchase of the mare, but met with littie success until yesterday, when he was successful in purchasing her, and in doing so traded “Dan F” and a considerable cash balance. “Isnetta” was raised from a colt by Mr. Phillips and, he has spent several years perfecting her for a race and brood mare, with the result that the horse- men of the state aceord her first place among Minnesota’s fast mares, being second only to the world-famous “Dan” Patch. She has covered the last quarter of a fast mile on the track at Hamline in 28% seconds, which is almost equal to the best ‘‘Patch” ever did. She moves like a perfect machine and is easily handled. The animal has never beem entered in a race, and as she is credited with being able to pace a mile in very close to two minutes, there is a brilliant future for “her if put on the track. . Mr. Irwin states that he will not start ““Isinetta’ in any races this season, but will probably make the circuit of the larger cities next year. Had Samples of Soil. J. S. Gole of Grand Rapids, secretary of the State Drainage League, came in yesterday after- went to Northome last evening, where he today joined the party of jibbers and commercial men from the twin cities who passed through the city this morning enroute north. Mr. Gole had with him a box of soil taken from some lands near Grand Rapids, which he displayed to the visit- ing delegation, at Northome. Fire Department Meets. The firemen held their month- ly meeting last eveningat their rooms in the city hall, there be- ing a very good attendance. The application of J. W. Gould to become a member of the de- partment was accepted. The meeting of the relief association was an important one. Applications for relief, either sick or accident ' benefits, were allowed to M.

Thereis talk of it, and if the company to BY CANVASSING BOARD whom the contract for making Judge McClenahan Orders a Recount the monument was let has not already begun work on the stone, it is possible that the order will be changed. The matter was brought up last night in the council meeting, when City Eogineer Stoner en- tered a protest as an owner of property facing the park, to the erection of what he designated as a gravestone in the park. He said that a number of his neigh- bors felt the same way about it and that there was a general sen- timent that the monument should not be erected in the park. If it were a statue, it would be dif- ferent. Mayor Carter, who has fath- ered the monument scheme from the first, declared that he failed to see why the monument could not be erected in the park’ with all propriety, but he said that if there was any way of getting the additional money necessary for the statue, as proposed, and if the company had not already be- gun to cut the stone, he was will- ing that the order be changed. Further action will probably be taken at the “mext council meeting or during the week. It was moved and carried to instruct the lighting p'ant to cut out the-city dock lights from now on, as the boating season is prac- tically over. The council voted to purchase 1,000 feet of additional hose for the fire department, and the city clerk was authorized to advertise for bids.

Professor Thomas Cooper of the State School of Agriculture at St. Anthony Park, who was here last week and assisted the judges in awarding the prizes at the children’s grain growing con- test, has written aletter to County Superintendent Regan, in which be states that he has shown samples of the wheat that was exhibited at the contest to seed experts, and that they have pronounced the wheat that won first and second prizes are being the best they have seen of any wheat grown in the state this year. This statement, from so emi- nent an authority, certainly speaks well for the productive- ness of the soil of Beltrami county. they have at their store.

The canvassing board of Cass county, which has been making a recount at Walker of the returns of the recent primary election, finished its labors last night, and a telephone message from there states that in the contest between I. P. Byhre of Cass Lake and C. H. Griffith of Walker for the republican nomi- nation for county auditor Byhre was nominated by a majority of nine votes When the board adjourned from its regular duties, ten days ago, it was announced that Griffith had been nominated for auditor by acomfortable majority. Byhre was not content with the returns as made by the canvass- ing board and instituted pro- ceedings before Judge McClena- han, in Bemidji, with the result that the judge issued an order for the board to reconvene immediately and recount the votes, the showing made by Mr. Byhre being of such a nature that he could not do otherwise. In- his affidavit to the court Mr. Byhre alleged . that the returns from several precincts were not. counted, although | properly returned, and that he was thus deprived of the nomi- nation, which he rightfully won. He alleged that on the face of the returns as made by the canvass- ing board Mr, Griffith was given a majority of three, whereas if the properly-returned vote had been canvassed he would have been declared the nominee by a majority of sixty seven votes. The affidavit aiso alleges that the affiant was informed that there were no returns filed with the board from the precinct of Leech Lake Dam, but that the board proceeded to canvass a pretended vote, claiming that there were eighteen votes cast, seventeen of which were for Griffith and one for Byhre. Also that several precincts did not send returns, although a vote was cast. : Messengers were sent out for the missing returns, and the result of the recount of the vote Contract for Work Awarded by Com- missioners to Jerrard Plumbing Company. The regular meeting of the- board of county commissioners is being attended by all mem- bers, Chairman Danaher presid- ing, and considerable routine business is being transacted. The Jerrard Plumbing com- pany of Bemidji has been awarded the contract to put in a complete steam heating plant in the main building at the county poor farm. The plant will be a modern one in every respect, and the contract price is $1,276.- 25. J. M. Phillipi, superintend- ent of the farm, was authorized to construct a basement under the main building for the recep- tion of the steam-heating ap- paratus. The Jerrard comvany was also awarded the contract for putting in toilet and bath rooms in the same building, the price for which is $176. D. W. Mohler was awarded a contract to build two miles of road in the town of Northern ex- tending from the southeast corner of Sec. 8 directly north to the line of Turtle Lake township. J. C. Hofland and Chapman & Peterson will jointly constructa road in Blackduck township, the former to do the grubbing and Chapman & Peterson will cor- duroy and grade the thorough- fare. The sum of $500 has been appropriated out of the road and bridge fund to be used in repair- ing the county road running through the towns. of -Langer, Cormant.and Quiring. % - The application of Christopher Rogers for license to run a saloon at Skotley was allowed.

Save all your cast-off clothing and other articles for the Meth- odist rummage sale to be held the 25th, 26th and 27th of this month, is to give Byhre the nomination, which is equivalent to an election, as the republican nominees in Cass county have no democratic opposition, and an independent candidate is not well received. C. C. McCarthy of Grand Rapids has acted as Mr. Byhre’s attorney in the case, and the official return of the canvassing board will be made tothe court in Bemidji tomght.
