The terms of the contract specify that the work must be finished within a year.—Duluth Evening Herald. The above item of news, relative to the mnch-discussed extension of the “Soo” railroad from Thief River Falls to Duluth, will be read with intense interest by the people of Be- midji and vicinity. There has been much discussion as to just where the “Soo” surveyors would run the line passing east and west through this territory and it is beginning to be the general belief that the road will come very close to Bemidji. While it is possible that the road may not build directly into Bemidji, it is certain that it will run not farther than seven miles, either north or south of this city. Local business men await with considerable interest the official announcement as to just where the road will strike, coming towards Be- midji from Thief River Falls. Notice to thePublic.

HEAD OF CENSUS BUREAU RESIGNS Director North Forced to Quit His Position. OUTCOME OF CONTROVERSY Friction Between Secretary Nagel and Retiring Official Had Continued Some Time and Finally the Cabinet Member Informed the President That Either He or Mr. North Must Leave the Service. ‘Washington, May 27.—S. N. D, North, director of the census, has ten- dered his resignation to President Taft and it has been accepted. E. Dana Durand, deputy commissioner of corporations, has been named to suc- oeed Mr. North. Mr. North’s resigna- tion is a direct result of his recent controversy with Secretary of Com- merce and Labor Nagel. Mr. Durand, who succeeds Mr. North as director, is from California. He has been in the bureau of cor porations for some time and it is be lieved he will work in harmony with Secretary Nagel. It had been supposed up to within the last few days that the contro- versy between Secretary Nagel and Director North had been amicably ad- 8. N. D. NORTH. Justed. The friction between the two continued, however, and at last Sec- retary Nagel put the matter squarely up to President Taft, saying that either he or Mr. North would have to leave the service, as existing condi- tions between them were impossible. Director North held to the belief that the census bureau was an inde- pendent institution and that he was responsible only to the president. A congressional enactment put the cen- sus bureau under the department of commerce and labor, however, and Secretary Nagel felt that in spite of the great powers conferred by con- gress on the director that official should be subordinate to the cabinet officer in charge of the department. It was because of this friction that Director North was finally forced to step out. IS A BAR TO “JOY RIDING” Bill Passed by Wisconsin Legislature Regarding Autos. Madison, Wis., May 27.—There will be no more “joy riding” in Wisconsin it a law passed in the state legisla- ture can stop it. The senate passed an assembly bill which prohibits the use of autos by other than their own- ers and providing a heavy, penalty for such use of a machine. The bill is primarily due to a series of accidents in Milwaukee during the early spring when several chauffeurs took out the autos of their employers and met with fatal mishaps before reaching home. Wind Plucks Seven Geese. Mattoon, I, May 27.—Caught in the furious blast of a tornado, which swept farms southwest of this city, seven geese, swimming on a pond on the farm of E. M. Thomas, were plucked clean by the wind, swept up in the air and blown into a haymow. Scarcely a feather was left on the birds when Thomas found them after the wind had pasaed.

Morgan, #r., has beea elected to fill the va- eancy on the board of directors of the United States Steel corporation made vacant by the death of H. H. Rogers, This is another important step to- ‘ward substitution of young Morgan for bis father in the world of finance. It 1s also considered significant that & Morgan should succeed a Standard Oil man. 5 Morgan interests have been in nom- ‘nal_control of the trust since its or- ganization, although for a few months when the stock broke to $10 a share the trust was understood to be owned chiefly by the Rockefellers, It devel oped that their purchases were large 1y speculative and as they liguidated on the advance Morgan brokers pur: chased and controlled the company for several years. The aggressive buying of the last few months has been chiefly by the Morgans also. The change in the board suggested to Wall street that Standard Oil interests had been liqui- @ating steel at the record high prices GASOLINE LAUNGH CARRIED OVER DAM Four- Persons Are Drowned ai Grand Rapids, Wis. @rend Rapids, Wis., May 27.—Four persons were drowned and four oth ers rescued from a capsized gasoline launch which was carried through the sluice gates of the dam of the Con solidated Water Power company of this city and dashed to the rocks be- low. The drowned are: Miss Bessie Anderson, Miss B. Bogiger, Miss May Forse and Ralph Anderson. The unfortunate party went up the river to a place on Big island called Eovers’ nook to roast marshmallows. Upon their return, in attempting to make a landing and not knowing the gates of the dam were opened, the swift current caught the stern end of the craft and all were carried to the river below. Screams for help brought a party of rescuers, but four members of the party became exhausted before help arrived. The remaining mem- bers were almost exhausted, but were resuscitated after strenuous efforts. ALLEGES ILLEGAL MONOPOLY Minnesotan Files Complaint Against Express Companies. ‘Washington, May 27.—A general at- tack on the system of management of the principal express companies do- ing business throughout the country has been started by State Senator B. E. Sundberg of Minnesota. Senator Sundberg has lodged a com- plaint with the interstate commerce commission in which he declares the American, Adams and United States Bxpress companies have formed them- selves into an illegal monopoly for the control of the express business throughout the Uhited States and that they are conducting such a monopoly in violation of the Sherman anti-trust act of 1887.. He asks the commission to break up the monopoly and fix a schedule of prices for the express business which will bear a fair rela- thon to the cost of transportation. gt < Captor of John Brown Dead. Mitchell, S. D, May 27.—Major Is- rael C. Greene, who captured John Brown of Osawatomie, Kan., at Har- pers Ferry, is dead on a farm near here, where he had lived for thirty- four years. Greene, who was a close friend of General Rebert E, Lee, was eighty-five years old. Folklore Storles. The Journal of American Folklore has some interesting folk tales of the Nez Perces Indians: “Once the sun fell down from the sky just about sunrise. Mole caught it and held it up until people got there and helped him to shove it back. The sun had meant to roll along on the ground instead of in the sky. It was from holding up the sun that.Mole's hands are bent so far back. “Coyote and Cloud ran a race, Cloud bet storm and Coyote clear weather. They started far away to the south, and for awhile Coyote was in the lead. Then Cloud made fruits of all kinds to grow in front of Coyote, and he, looking back and seeing Cloud far be- stopped to eat. In this way Cloud caught up and won., This is why we have storms in winter time.” Long Suffering Bill. A correspondent sends the following to a remote rural organ of the people: “Our esteemed fellow citizen, Mr. ‘William M. Puckleton, has had several new ‘No Trespassing”, signs erected on his place. We have had the pleas- ure of perusing the one facing the Hedgeville pike.

A cler- gyman who had known the first wife returned from Africa and wanted to see the grave.

HOPKINS’ SEAT Senatarial Deadlock in IIli nois Finally Broken. VOTING BEGAN ON JAN: 20 Election of Chicago Man Made Pos: _sible by a Coalition of Democrats and Anti-Hopkins Republicans, Fif- ty-three of the Former and Fifty of the Latter Casting Their Ballots for the Congressman. Springfield, Ill, May 27.—Congress- man William Lorimer of the Sixth congressional district was elected United States senator by the joint session of the general assembly. The election of a junior senator to represent Illinois in the upper house at Washington came about through a coalition of Democratic assemblymen and the anti-Hopkins Republicans. The hall of representatives, through the hours speeding the close of the deadlock, was crowded with a host of peliticians. Strong efforts were made REPRESENTATIVE LORIMER. by former Senator Hopkins’ aids to head off the break to Lorimer, but they were unavailing. The dramatic last act of the deadlock, which has waged since Jan. 20, played to a small crowd. In the many joint ballots of the deadlock nearly 150 candidates have been listed for the office of United States semator, the great majority of therr being Democrats. Of the eighty-nine house members who voted for Senator Lorimer forty- seven were Democrats and forty-two Republicans. In the senate six Dem- ocratic senators voted for Lorimer. Sketch of New Senator. Although William Lorimer’s prog- ress in politics has been steady and consistent from the time when he be- gan securing city contracts for his firm of contractors until he was elect- ed to the Unitéd States senate he never can be president, for he was born in England. Mr. Lorimer’s biography in the con- gressional directory is one of the briefest, about fifty words, and omits to mention that he first saw the light in 1861. At the age of five he was brought to this country by his par- ents. At the age of twelve he worked as a sign painter’s apprentice. ILater he labored at the stock yards, of which in after days he was known as the “boss.” Next he gathered in the nickels on a street car. Meanwhile he had become a political factor. He became a contractor, was called the “blende boss” in the newspapers and was counted on to deliver the packing house district to the Republican ticket. In 1892 he was defeated for a county office, but three years later he was elected to the Fifty-fourth congress, where he has remained, since. The Fifty-seventh congress saw him not, for he was beaten in his own stock yards district by one who was comparatively a mere stripling, John J. Feely, then in his twenty-sixth year. This was in the. Second dis- trict. Mr. Lorimer then moved into the Sixth district, which promptly sent him back to Washington. DEFENDS JAPS OF THE WEST Speaker at the Presbyterian General Assembly. 3 Denver, May 27.—That the Japanese resident of the West is a better Chris- tfan than the one who seeks to keep him out of the schools and the coun- try was the intimation of Dr. A. W. Halsey of New York, secretary of the board of foreign missions, In his ad- dress following the report of the board before the general assembly of the Presbyterian church. “I have just recelved a letter,” said he, “from a man representing 1,000 Japanese in various Western states. He says that his people have raised $3,000 for the evangelizing of the Japanese and he wants the assembly to give a like amount. They are scorned, but they are Christians and I wonder if not better than the ones who scorn them.” PANIC STRICKEN BY THREATS Under Indictment Wounds Passerby. St. Louis, May 27.—Unnerved by threats William Wright, under indict- ment for killing Sam Young a con- stable, became panic stricken at Franklin and Ewing avenues and mor- tally wounded a passerby. ‘Wright said he had been told that Young’s friends were planning to “get” him and that he began firing when five men started towards him ‘out of an alley. Alfred M. Neilson, the victim Mortally of the shooting, was on his way to work and crossed the street in the path of Wright’s bullets. None- of the witnesses ‘of the shooting saw the five men of whem Wright complained. | | 1 with the exception of one term, ever | Fine Gold Jewelry For Gommencement The first consideration al- ways—we demand it of the maker—we guarantee it to you. ¥ Quality The very latest patterns all the new ideas of the season carefully selected.
