THE BEMIDJI DAILY VOLUME 5. NUMBER 10 BEMIDJ1, MINNESOTA, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 30, 1907. .TEN CENTS PER WEEK WADE WELKER GASE SETTLED FOR $475 City Council, in Regular Session Last Night, Settled Damage Suit Against City. WELKER SUSTAINED BROKEN LEG AND SUED FOR $1,000 DAMAGES Much Routine Business Transacted; City Payroll For March and Other Bills Allowed. The city council held a very harmonious session last night at which all the members were present except President Gould. Outside of the regular routine business and the allowance of the audited claims, including the city pry roll of April, amounting to $559.50, the most important action was the settling of the damage case of Wade Welker against the city for $475. Welker was iajured, the win- ter of I905, by being thrown from a rig on account of an ob- struction in the street. He brought suit against the city and was awarded §1,000 damages by ajury. On motion of P. J. Rus- sell, then city attorney, a new trial was granted, and the case would have been retried at this term of court. The liquor license bond of C. M. Bacon, with E. A, Schneider and W, W. Browne as sureties, was approved, and an application of Ole Anderson for liguor license was accepted. The bond of Wes Wright, i the sum of $1,000 for the faithful performance of the grading job awarded him last week, with Charles Nangle and C. M. Bacon as sureties was approved. Petition for sewer on Fourth street from Beltram1 avenue to the alley in the block between that and Bemidji avenue, was re- ferred to the sewer committee. The city engineer’s estimate of the cost of sewer from Fourth street to Eighth street on Min- nesota avenue, of $1.40 per run- ning foot, amounting to $2,100, was read and filed. Aldermen Erickson, Smart and Brinkman were named a com- mittee to investigate the needs of the cemetery, and report at the next meeting. The sexton appeared before the council and stated there was a scarcity of single lots,and recommended that a block of plots be cross-sec- tioned, Ordinance No. 23, relating to construction and alteration of sewers, and providing for plumb- ers’ licenses, was given its first reading, after which the council adjourned. New Mortgage Tax Law. What is a new and novel law and one which may have a tend- ency to reduce the rate of inter- est on real estate mortgages is the mortgage tax law which goes into effect tomorrow. Commmencing tomorrow morning, all real estate mort- gages, before being filed for record, must bear the certificate of the county treasurer showing that a tax of fifty cents for each $100 or fractional part thereof has been paid. By this payment the mortgage is exempt from taxation and the party loaning the money need have no fear of his or her mort- gage being listed for taxation. This money, at the time of making settlement, is appor- tioned to the several funds of the county and state, the same as though it were a real estate tax, n! and each town, the state and the county receives its proportionate share of the money. “Stone Wanted.

FOSTER; Dr. Palmer, Skilled Dentist of Minne- apolis, Will Make His Home in Bemidiji. A deal has been closed where- by Dr. Palmer of Minneapolis has secured the dental business heretofore conducted so success- fully in this city by Dr. Foster, The latter decided to dispose of the business, and after looking the field over decided that Dr. Palmer would be a worthy sue- cessor to his large dental prac- tice here. Dr. Palmer comes to Bemidji with the highest encomiums as a dentist, having practiced his pro- fession in Minneapolis for sev- eral years. It is the doctor’s in- tention to continue the high class dentistry which his predecessor has given the people of Bemidji, and he also ntends to have his prices fixed only in accordance with the work done for patients. Dr. Palmer will undoubtedly receive his share of the dental business in this vicinity, and that share will undoubtedly grow as the doctor’s = acquaintance widens. County Board Meeting. The members of the board of the county commissioners met at 10 o’clock this forenoon, there being a full board in atten dance But little business was trans- acted this forenoon, beyond con- sidering an application for abate- ment of taxes from Fred Dudléy of this city. It was expected that the after- noon session would be taken np principally with routine business and that the matter of the issu- ing of county bonds for the pur- pose of taking up the outstanding indebtedness of the county, will be considered tomorrow.

THE FISHING SEASON WILL OPEN TOMORROW Lawful to Catch Pike and Other Fish, Except Bass, With Hook" and Line. CONSIDERABLE ICE IN LAKES, BUT THE RIVERS ARE ALL OPEN Although Weather Has Been Cold, Prospects Are Good For Catch- ing Fine Strings. — Tomorrow (May 1st) is the first day of the opening of . the fishing season, whereby the ang- ler may fish with pole and hook and line. The weather conditions are such that the opening of the season does not promise to be an auspicious one. There is still ice in Lake Bemidji, with noim- mediate prospect of there bemng 2 break.up, at least not within the next five days. However, there is plenty of open water about the shore of the lake, and the rivers and streams are clear, which will give some excellent chances for good catches. The following are extracts from the game and fish laws relative to the catching of fish, and it would be well to cut them out and preserve them: ‘“‘Sec. 40. Fish May Be Taken, When.—No person shall catch, take,or kill or have in possession or under control, for any pur- pose whatever, any of the fish bereinafter mentioned within the periods herein limited, to-wit: Any variety of itrout, between the first day of§ September and the fifteenth day of April follow- ing; any black, grey or Oswego bass between the first day of March, and the twenty-ninth day of May following; any variety of pike, muskallonge, croppie,perch sunfish, sturgeon, catfish or any other variety of fish between the first day of March and the first day of May following, ‘“‘Sec. 41.

Any person catching such fish, shall at once return same to water from which they are taken with as little injury as possible, “No person shall take, kill, have in possession for sale or with intent to sell, offer or expose for sale, or have in possession or under control for any purpose whatever any lake troutor white- fish of less than two pounds, round or undressed weight, or one and one-half pounds, dressed weight, or any wall-eyed pike of less than fourteen inches in length or one pound round or un- dressed weight or any musk- allonge less than thirty inches in length or any blue pike or saugers of less than ten inches inlength.

There was not much doing in district court today. Yesterday afternoon was occu- pied in trying the case of Charles Brunelle vs. A. E. Winter. This case was a suit to recover amount, claimed to be due on some beaded work which the plaintiff left with Mr. Winter, and which plaintiff claimed was nearly all sold and defendant failed to make good on the goods. The jury last even- ing returned a sealed verdict which was in favor of the plaintiff, awarding him $51.50 and costs. The case of A, B, Palmer vs, George Rima and H. C. Austin was called yesterday afternoon and the jury drawn, after which court adjourned. This forenoon and part of this afternoon was occupied with try- ing the case.of Palmer vs. Rima| and Austin. lcity hall, RELIGIOUS AWAKENING GAUSED BY MEETINGS Rev.

Just before the sermon Mr, WILL GUT THE PINE ON KABEKONA GULCH Walker & Akeley Purchase Holdings _Giving Them Over One Hundred Million Feet. WAS IN ALMOST INACCESSIBLE COUNTRY AND WAS NOT CUT Timber Will Be Logged By Railroad Bursk sang very effectively “City of Gold.” Mr. Hamilton’s text was “Thou Art the Man.” He dwelt npon the certainty of sin’s dis- covery and punishment, the im- possibility of hiding from God and the greatness of God’s for- givness of the repentant sinner. Mr. Hamilton’s illustrations were especially effective. At the close of the sermon, Mr. Bursk sang, “Let Jesus Come Into Your Heart.” The power of the Holy Spirit was strongly apparent. Num- erous hands were raised, asking an interest in prayer, aud when Mr. Hamilton gave the invitation, a large number came forward, thus expressing their intention to start in the christian life.

Bemidji, Minnesota and Taken to Akeley for Sawing. Walker & Akeley, the logging firm that furnishes the “raw material’” for the Red River Lumber company’s big sawmill at Akeley, has acquired all the pine in what is known as the Kabekona gulch country, east of Lake George, and is already making preparations to cut the timber next winter. The stands which lie along the “gulch” contain what is believed to be the very best white and Norway pine to be found in Hub- bard county. The timber was secured several years ago by T. B. Walker, C. F. Ruggles, T. H. Shevlin and others, but has never been cut, owing to the almost inaccessible condition of the country. The gulch, which ex- tends from a short distance east of Lake George to Kabekona lake, is a deep ravine, the banks on either side of which in some places bemng fully 100 feet high. The pine covers these banks, and owing to the steepness of the hills, it has always been consid- ered as nexb to impossible to cut the timber and log it to any ad- vantage, as the cost of puilding logging roads that could handle the work would be almost pro- hibitive. =~ However, Walker & Akeley have decided to log the timber, and will build a railroad in order to do the work. Many contractors have looked the tim- ber over, and it 1s the general conclusion that the only feasible method of logging the stands is with a railroad. Walker & Akeley have let a contract to John Moberg of Be- midji to build two miles of the railroad that will be used in log- ging the Kabekona pine. Mo- berg, this week, began hiring men and laying plans for putting in the road, which will be no small task. He expects to have the road constructed and fully equipped for business in ample time for next season’s logging. Mr. Moberg states that, as a rough estimate, Walker & Ake- ley now have (with their recent acquisitions) fully 100,000,000 feet of the finest Nerway and white pine in the Kabekona country, all of which will be cut and hauled by rail to the mill at Akeley.
