FUEL FAMINE POSSIBLE OVER IN NORTH DAKOTA | — | Inability to Get Sufficient Cars to Haul Wood Will Be the | Cause. | Grand Forks Herald: Prospects | for a wood famine in North Dakota are excellent, according to L. B.| Gibbs, wholesale coal and wood | dealer, of this city, who has ceived communications from dealers tu towus iu the northern la of +he state, saying that they have abso-: lutley no wood on hand and there is a heavy demand for the same. While many of the country dealers put in a supply of coal they have neglected | to order wood early. i The result is a rather serious situ-| ation, with winter not far distant. | Wholesalers have found it impossi- ble to get wood. Orders placed over two weeks ago have not been filled, and there is no prospect of them being filled at an early date. In aletter to Mr. Gibbs, H. E. Still, assistant general freight agent of the Northern Pacific railway, says in regard to the prospects of secur-| ing equipment for wood loading: “The prospects are very dubious | at this writing. ‘ re-| We cannot secure | sufficient amount of equipment to| take care of our loading of mer-| chandise and other freight of this| nature at terminals and our houses have recently been compelled to| shut down and refuse to accept freight in several Our | requirements for grain loading are very pressing. We have a great many elevators that are full of grain that are compelled to turn it away when firms present it. “It is our intention to divide out equipment as equally as possible between the loaders, and in this division the wood dealer will re- ceive his share. I can frankly say, however, that ‘his share’ is going to be extremely slim for the present.” instances. There is plenty of wood in north- ern Minnesota, but if sufficient cars are not provided to haul the wood to the western prairies the situation over there will not be relieved to any great extent this winter over what it was last season. Elks Rendezvouing. Crookston Journal: This even- ing some 60 Elks of the Fargo lodge will leave in a special over the N. P. for Jamestown where they will par- ticipate in the initiation of 25 new members into the Jamestown lodge- Saturday morning in company with the Jamestown FElks a special will leave for Leeds where the Garnd Forks contingent will be joined and the party will proceed to Minot, where the new lodge will be insti- tuted in the evening. Prof. Elliot A. Boyl to Lecture. The first lecture of the five en- ladies of the Presbyterian church, will be a lecture by Prof. Elliot A. Boyle, Saturday evening, Oct. 26th. Prof. Boyl is considered one of the ablest orators on the American platform. He is scholarly and elo- quent and his lectures are filled with wit, humor and sentiment. Installing Water Service. Mayor Pogue is installing water service in his residence and also in the building adjoining his home, which he has sold to J. F. Boss. In| order to get the service the mayor' He expects to have the service in by the first of next week. BROTHER OF DR, CURRENT DIED TODAY IN DAKOTA Coach of Bemidji Football Team Called Away to Attend Funeral at New Ulm. Dr. Earl H. Current of Minnea- polis, who arrived in the city Wed- | nesday evehing to act as coach for the Bemidji high school football team, received a telegram today‘ from Dickenson, N. D., announcing that his brother, John R. Current, had died at Dickenson at 9 o’clock this morning. Dr. Current will be compelled to leave Bemidji and return to Min- neapolis to be present at the funeral and burial of his late brother. Dr. Current was for three years fullback on the University of Min- nesota champion football team, and he won universal praise for pre- eminence in that position. The doctor graduated from the medical department of the Univer- sity last spring, and has since then been connected with a Minneapolis hospital. 5 He was prevailed upon to come to Bemidji to take charge of coaching the high school | football team, in preparation for a number of hard contests which the team has on its schedule. He gave the bovs a hard practice yesterday and they were just beginning to move rapidly. The unfortunate death of Mr. Current’s brother is greatly regretted here, as the high school boys will be deprived of the services of their coach. It is not likely that anyone can be secured at this late date to coach the team. John R. Current, who died at Dickenson, was 28 years of age. He was a graduate of the academic and law department of the University of Minnesota. In 1906 he went to Dickenson, where he has been prac- ticing law ever since. Dr. Current states that the body of his brother will probably be taken to New Ulm for burial. tertainments to be given by the Local news on last page Jail Full at Crookstop.

This accounts for the fact that in the East he is a pessimist, but in the West he is an optimist. In St. Paul on Tuesday he said, “No part of this United States stands on so safe a basis as the Northwest. The foundation of its prosperity is the intelligent cultivation of the soil. You cannot prosper unless the farmers do.” He might have added, *And you will as surely prosper if the farmers do.” - This condition is being emphasized just now in a way that is more force- ful than welcome. The East feels its financial structure toppling about its head; the West stands firm and | safe, and the credit of itsiastitutions is unimpaired.

Today the farmers can hold the major part of the pro- duct of their fields in their own granaries, and they would do this whatever the money supply might be. The East is just a narrow strip shut off by the mountains. This side lies the great Mississippi valley, the region of perennial plenty. Mines may close, railroad building may stop, electric line prospects may be postponed, water powers may be left undeveloped, and other resources of the earth may remain undisturbed, but the farmers will plow and sow and reap, and the earth will give forth its riches in return, It has been proverbial among the officials of the Great Northern that the one class of requests invariably granted, if they could get to Mr. Hill, was that which came from the farmers. In this he has been vriser than his generation and he has |reaped his harvest in dividends. | Butitis a lesson others can l:ara and just now is a gocd time to learn it.

Several lumber camps have already been completed, while work on others is progressing nicely and the loggers hope to have everything in readiness to begin operations by the time the snow begins to fly. Among the camps fast nearing completion are those of Geo. Kirk, the contractor, and the Wilcox Bros. Lumber Co. of this place. Both will log on an an extensive scale, operat- ing two small camps each,all located but a short distance from town. The O’Neil-Irvine logging firm will re- sume operations at its last winter’s camp two miles east of here and ex- pects to put in a busy season. Ross & Ross have completed their camp 6 miles east of here which will em- ploy about 100 men during the winter. The J. A. Irvine camps at Pine Island, where considerable logging will be done, are being put in shape for the winter’s. work, There are also a number of in- dividual loggers erecting camps near here who will operate on a less ex- tensive scale. Itis estimated that there will be at least eight or ten large camps in operation in. this immediate vicinity ' this winter and the outlook for a very busy season generally was never so favorable. False Fire Alarm. At about 11:30 this forenoon, police headquarters was telephoned that there was a fight, or something to that effect, going ‘on at Brown’s restaurant. John McElroy, who was in charge of the station and took the message from the wire, interpreted the '“talk” that there was, a fire, and immediately began a vigorous alarm to that eifect. Members of the fire department responded promptly, no water was turned on, No damage or loss, only some good-natured “kidding.” Local news on last page Judging trom | oeang but it was learned that there was no fire, and 'HAS DRAWN ALL STATE MOMCT rNoM TUL URITRY | The October School Apportionment Takes the Funds the State Has on Deposit. St. Paul, Oct. 25.—Today State Treasurer Dinehart will drain every bank in the state of every dollar Minnesota has on deposit with it. In the three big cities the slate has been wiped clean, and notice was sent out to the country banks to get ready for the “touch.” The big “touch” is to enable ¢he payment of the October school appor- tionment which calls for over $1,000,- 000. The checks are .now ready and will be sent to every district in the sstate Friday. Besides this, Mr. Dinehart and State Auditor Iverson have pre- pared the warrants for the distri- bution of the special aid to rural graded schools, amounts to $775,000. These will have to be held up, how- ever, for a few weeks because of the lack of money, and even longer, Mr. Dinehart says, if this eastern flurry continues. Banks just now are unwilling to part with the long time money, even at the prevailing rate of inter- est, he says. Money isin demand and they can do better in other ways. With the first of the year taxes will be coming in, not to speak of revenue from other sources, and then the state will be able to settle without any recourse to the banks. Boss Buys Fine Home. Mayor John Pogue has sold his house, on lot 5, block 1, Carson's addition, to J. F. Boss, the consider- ation being a good-sized one. Mr. Pogue recently purchased the property, the house being in a rather dilapidated condition, and the premises entirely neglected. He at ouce secured carpenters and had the entire building remodled. There are now seven rooms in the house, with a fine basement, and the house is equipped with a hot-water heating plant and bath rooms, the whole being finished in a thoroughly ‘modern manner, which will make Mr. Boss one of the finest residences in the city. Mr. Boss will take possession of ‘| the house November 1st.
