oL AR B E. B. LA GOUNT WRITES T0 10WA ABOUT BEMIDII Gives Interesting Narrative About Local Conditions and the Prospective Growth of the City. Cedar Writing in answer to a request by Rapids (Towa) Gazette: The Gazette, E. B. La Count, whois recreating in the far north, writes from Bemidji, Minn., as follows: The license you so thoughtlessly gave my pen is about to become re- sponsible for another chapter of trouble for your compositors. You told me—Well never mind about particulars! Ingnorance of one more coy secret will not give even an obstreperously inquisite world unmitigated misery. It is our privi- ledge to imagine that we know a thing or two concerning which all creations besides is innocent. Have you heard about Bemidji? No. Well, you may brace yourself to endure some impending know- ledge. Other than Missourians want to know. Bemidji is situated on the southwestern curve of ditto lake and near the southern line of Beltrami county, which in area, ranks third in Minnesota, measuring one hundred and forty miles north and south by fifty-four miles east and west, this county makes several states wonder why their youth was not more devoted to growth in size as well as in population. Some east- ern localities are so congested that people have to stand on one leg side- wise in order to realize that they are, American sovereigns. When western states were carved accom- modation was provided which would afford millions ample room to avoid bumping—although even in the west people sometimes get bumped. When you come to think of it, Minnesota is quite some in size— about one-third as large again as New England. Eighty-four thousand square miles make a big patch of land. Beltrami possesses the dlstmctmn of extending farther toward the north pole than any other county in the United States of America and Bemidji, hoopla! is the county seat. Nine years ago this was a typical post for trappers, Indians and lumber-jacks; now it is a hustling, flourishing town of 6,000 souls. Born of the lumbering industry it has three sawmills, (the largest having a weekly output of 2,500,000 feet), two lath mills with a capacity of a million lath per week, and a shingle mill which turns out shingles in a clattering stream that drowns conception figures. As lumbermen are inhabited by thirsty souls, there is a brewery and twenty-seven saloons, these suds dispensaries being mildly offset by eight churches—the saloons having much the better of it in attendance and enthusiasm. Good buildings, wide streets, cement walks, electric light and water plant and a get- there spirit prophesy well for the future. Every person in town is pulling and pushing with sleepless vim and vigor that probably will spell victory. This bashful seer will predict that Bemidji will be the big town of this section ere many years have wasted their wains adown the lane of time. Three railroads converge here and there is talk of another north and south line that will tap a wide area of timber land and incidentally boost Bemidji. Too many cooks spoil the broth but no town ever was hurt by too many railroads. Streets are somewhat disheveled just now, and buildings uncertain as to attitude, owing to the installation of sewer and water pipes and the establishment of a fixed grade. Every- one here has sand—in the shoes, but paving is a certainty in the immediate future, for the town is determined to be up to date in every way. A street railway is franchised and located, work to be commenced when people and things thaw out in the spring. One peculiar feature of this burg is the prevalence of pine trees in streets, parks and yards, grand old Norway pines predominating. This Norway is one of the few trees that trim themselves. Often attaining the height of one hundred feet or more, its trunk rises, straight and smooth, three-fourths of its héight, top and trunk looking quite like an immense long-stalked toad-stool. Competent estimators assert that the supply of timber available for the local mills will be exhausted in ten or twelve years, when the mills - will be forced-to make another- hike. is being cleared rapidly, farms farmers becoming more numerous. Most of the land, though light, is very productive and will respond profitably to intelligent industry, In the matter of cemetery Bemidji is unique. Protestant, Catholic and Pagan; white, black, red and yellow, peacefully sleeping side by side. To see crosses slabs and totems so mingled inspires new hope in the brotherhood of man. The Father of waters does not look big enough to be a daddy as it flows into Bemidji lake, being only about fifty feet wide and two feet deep. It becomes yet more at- tenuated as one follows its lake- beaded: course up south toward Itasca. Great streams from little brooklets grow. The local financial situation is simplified and safeguarded by two banks whose daily clearances reach figures seldom exceeded by much larger towns than Bemidji. Dollars as well as folks are right busy here- abouts, The season was wound up the other day by a game ball—wound up so hard and fast that it will not go again until another summer smiles over a spring-coddled earth. It was an eye-opener as regards the weird and un-expected—that is, to all except the umpire, of whose sinister eye a foul ball hurriedly exacted hospitality. City and county officials perpetrated the game, battling wildly through six checkered and striped innings for the laurel that lops jauntily over a victor’s brow. No runs were earned; in fact the expositors of baseball as itis played nit earned nothing ex- cept the garrulous derision of a betrayed populace. The only player who did well was in the box office and he fled like a jack rabbit before a prairie fire when a bulge of voci- ferous humanity surged his way after the game had beéh called " at four fourty-seven on account of dark- ness and a hot sun. Anguishing de- tails lurk in my pen but as cur- tailing seems more opportune than detailing, let ’em lurk. The pen that stops ere all except the author are tired is wielded by a wise hand. i —E. B. LA COUNT. Ruth Craven as *‘Dora Thorne.” “Dora Thorne,” the ' beautiful drama of English life will be the attraction at the opera house, one night only Saturday, Oct. 5th, with Miss Ruth Craven in the role of Dora. To say the play gives satis- faction would be expressing it mild- ly. The story isa beautiful one and pleases old and young alike, con- taining as it does many comedy and dramatic situations. The play is written in four acts which are beauti- fully mounted with special scenery, which is carried complete by this company. Reserved seats should be secured well in advance as this is without doubt the very best attrac- tion to visit Bemidji this season. The Clearwater County Fair. The Clearwater county fair will be held at Bagley October 10-11-12 of this month. The citizens of Bagley and Clear- water county are planning to make this an event for Clearwater county. It will also be an educational fair —it being the purpose of the man- agement to show the productiveness of the Clearwater county soil, and a handsome display of grains, grasses and vegetables are being prepared for the occasion. The stock exhibit will be good, and the Clearwater creameries will have a good display of butter. * The Dixies Coming. The Ladies Aid society of the Presbyterian church have succeéded in getting the “Dixie Jubilee”singers to again come to Bemidji. This will be the third appearance here. Each time they have been well received and had a good house. At City Opera House Oct. 4. —_— northward. This xmmedmte sectlon Sduvemr envelopea at tlna office. PRIVATE CAR FOR THE GAME AND FISH COMM'N Commission Can Now Distribute Fish Fry and Fingerlings to Much Better Advantage. St. Paul Pioneer Press: The state game and fish commission by the end of this week will have a car in which to make its distribution of fish fry and fingerlings. The car has been built at Chicago Heights, and while in Chicago on business last Saturday Carlos Avery, execu- tive agent of the commission, found the car satisfactory and about com- pleted. It will be shipped to St. Paul within a few days. The commission has felt the need of a car for this purpose for a long while, but has never been able to get one until this year, when it was procured out of a saving of $10,000 made in the appropriation for the commission last year. This amount was left over and the commission made use of it to purchase a car built on plans provided by the com- mission. It will be thoroughly equipped for the purpose for which it is intended, and Mr. Avery be- lieves it will be the best car of its kind in the country. The federal government has six of them, and various states have their own cars. The Minnesota car was planned after an inspection of many of those already in use. The car will have a capacity of 200 cans in which the fish fry and will be placed for distribution in the various lakes and streams for which orders for them have been received. The car will also be equipped with a kitchen and bunks for men in charge. With this capa- city the car can be loaded with a great variety and quantity of fish fry, and the car can be started from the hatchery and supply all of the demand along one line of road on a single trip. Notice will be sent out ahead of the time of arrival of the car at the various stations, so that men will be at hand to receive ths supply at each station from which an order has been received. ; At present the fry are sent out in cans loaded into the regular baggage cars, but no more than twenty cans will be received at any one time, and the facilities for car- ing for the fish on the trip are not so good as will be the case in the new car specially built for this pur- pose. The car will be arranged so as to insure an ample supply of fresh water and facilitate the hand- ling of the cans en route. The body of the car is seventy feet long and is painted an orange color. It is strongly built and will provide accommodation for seven men if necessary. The car will be put into commission as soon as it arrives, Commission Meets This Month. St. Paul, Minn.,, Oct. 2.—The special commission appointed by Gov. Johnson to appraise the county property in Itasca county in order to adjust the county’s financial affairs with the new county of Koochiching which was carved out of the north- ern half of Itasca last winter, will meet early this month at the state house. At the meeting, briefs and argu- ments will be presented as to the power of the commission to con- sider the question of the real estate values. The state law, in authorizing such appraisements, provides for the placing of a valuation on “build- ings,” but omits to mention any- thing about “real estate.” The department of the attorney general some time ago gave the comrnission an opinion that the word"buil dings” might be considered to include “real estate.” The authorities of Itasca county are inclined to question this opinion, and will make an argument through the Itasca county attorney contending that the commission has no right to consider the county poor farm, which is really the bone of contention in the whole matter As to the story that this poor farm contains valuable iron ore, there is as yet little evidence before the commission, Cedar!

Foster, auditor for Swift & Co.,, South St Paul, has not been seen for more than a week and it is thought that he might have left for parts unknown, especially since his books are said to contain irregularities which may foot up to $10,000. Mr. Foster has been connected with Swift & Co. for many years, both at Chicago and St. Louis, and he came to this city about seven months ago to accept the position of auditor of the concern at South St. Paul, Sunday - morning, Sept. 22, the watchman noticed Foster leaving the office at about 7 o’clock. Monday morn- ing he did not appear for work. On Tuesday the officials attempted to locate Foster and they ascertained that he had left the city with his wife.

Havana, Oct.. *.—The small band of rebels which has been traversing the country in the vicinity of Mayari, In the northern section of Santiago province, has, according to late dis- batches, again exchanged shots with the pursuing rurales. The latter are ¢lose on the heels of the bandits. While there are signs of unrest in various parts of the island the opinion nrevallln[ here 15 thnt no serious dis. furbante 1s 1ikely, In commenting on the sltuation the Diario de la Marina says: “A combination of unpleasant cir- cumstances having no link one with the other appears to make the situa tion at first sight more serlous than it really is. Each one of the problems that at present confront the adminis- tratlo.—the yellow fever epidemic, the conspiracy of Parra, Miret and Ducassl, the existence of bands of out- laws fn the country and the railway strike—Is of an alarming character, but except for the tendency of the strike to become general and stop raflway communication throughout the island these events are of no gre:t importance in themselves,” Governor Magoon has determined to deal with outlaws and insurrectionists with a strong hand. The orders of the rurales, it is stated, are to capture, kill or drive them into the ocean. Cienfuegos may soon become a trow. ble zone. The waiters there are on strike and others plan to strike soon. It is reported also that political trou- ble is coming in that vicinity where conspirators have heen active, PLATT TALKS POLITICS. New York Senator Gets Game Again, New York, Oct. —A well man again Senator Thomas C. Platt talked politics with something of his old time enthusiasm. “If my legs were as strong as my mind,” he said, “I would get back into the political harness without delay. As it is I shall stay here until Decem- ber and then go to Washington to resume my duties in the senate. I like the senate and I am looking for- ward to a pleasant service during the rest of my term in that great body.” “Who will get the New York dele- gation in the next Republican national convention?” Senator Platt was asked. “It won’t be Roosevelt and it may not be Hughes,” he replied. “The president does not want it. The gov- ernor is shrewd enough to know that the slightest move on his part to take the delegation would be fatal to his aspirations. He may convince the Re- publican vosers that they cannot do without him. “President Roosevelt cannot go back on his word. He could not do so even it he were so inclined and I believe him to be fully in earnest in his de- termination to retire. GIFT OF SI 000 0C0.
