NEW- GOUNTY ROAD FROM NORTH TO LAKE BEMIDJI Commissioners Wright and Wagner Inspect the Proposed Route of " Much-Needed Thoroughfare. A new county road, tobe run from Fox lake almost directly south to Lavina, on the north shore of Lake Bemiji, is contemplated by the board of county commissioners, and con- sideration of the proposition will probably be taken up at the next meeting of the board. WON'T GIVE PERMISSION International Falls With sentative Beade. Washington, May 20.—Represen- tative Bede and E. W. Backus spent an hour with the president today discussing the Rainy river dam veto. The president is unwillingto stand for anything that fails to recognize the principal of a tax for water used in the way Backus will use the water in Rainy river. He said, however, that he would be glad to talk the matter over with Chairman Hepburn of the house committee on interstate and foreign commerce, which has jurisdiction over dam bills, and such other mem- bers of the committee as he might care to bring to the White House with him. It is probable Mr. Hepburn, with F. C. Stevens of St. TO OVERRIDE YETO ON DAM President Roosevelt Discussed the Status of the Dam at E. W. Backus and Repre- Remote Chance for Change. Paul, will see the president tomor- 'row. The president is unwilling to write a letter saying he is willing to have the bill passed over his veto. At the same time it is believed that if the bill should be so passed he would not seriously object. The difficulty in the way of pass- ing the bill over the veto is found in the fact that this is a campaign year, when every member of con- gress must go back to his constitu- ents for endorsement. Many of these members are unwilling to pass over the presidents veto a bill which on the surface of things runs counter to his conversation of natural resources policy. To do so might retire them from public life. Wes Wright and Joseph Wagner, members of the county board, . spent yesterday driving from Buena Vista eastward and south along near the range line to the head of Lake Be- midji, and they believe that a line for a fine county road can be ob- tained and the road constructed with but Itttle difficulty. The route as passed over by the commissioners would be almost dir- ectly south from Fox lake, striking the head of the lake near Lavina. There is a good road from Lavina around the north and west side of the lake to Bemidji, and would give the farmers a fine road to the city. The road as proposed ‘would bel, north of Lake Bemidji and east -of Buena Vista toward" Turtle . River and Farley, and is much needed. “‘Suprised” on His Birthday. C. S. Markusen passed the 39th mile stone of his earthly career on Tuesday last. A number of his friends became cognizant of the fact that Tuesday was the anniversary of his birthday and planned a surprise for “Christ.” Tuesday evening a2 crowd of the friends of Mr. and Mrs. Markusen visited the Markusen home, where, after rapping on the door and being greeted by the host of the house they literally took possession of the place and proceeded to have a right royal good time. . On behalf of the assembled guests, Christ Heieren presented Mr. Markusen with a handsome willow rocker as a token of the esteem in which he is held by those pres- ent. Mr. Markusen responded feel- ingly. The evening was spent with play~ ing games and refreshments were served. Is19 an impowble hand in crib bage?

Manager Brinkman of the Brink- man Family Theater will put on at the Brinkman tonight the biggest show ever attempted in northern Minnesota. There will be three separate and distinct vaudeville acts, all of which are headliners. Joe Ralph, “The Man from Swe- den,” will appear for the first time. He’s a dandy. Spaulding Bros., who have been making a hit with their - comedy acrobatic stunt, will be there. Theo. Pull, the world-famed mind reader, will give one of his bafling performances. These acts alone make by far the strongest show ever given here. But, in addition to the vaudeville, the moving pictures are of the highest class, and the illustrated song starts everyone a-hummin’. Really, one can’t see wherein Manager Brinkman ever intends to even “break even,” in giving so much good stuff for only 15 cents. You should go and see this 75 cent show for 15 cents.
