Congressman Halvor Steenerson has introduced the follawing bill -in congress, relative to rural free de- livery: ““A Bill Relating to the compensation of letter carriers in the rural de- livery service. “Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, Thaton and after July first, 1911, letter carriers of the rural delivery service upon routes exceed- ing twenty-four miles in length ‘shall be paid as compensation for their services at the rate of thirty-seven dollars and fifty cents per mile per annum for the first twenty-four miles, and eighteen dollars and seventy-five cents per mile per annum for each additional mile of route over twenty- four.” sey of Jackson, Minn., were regis- tered last night as guests at the Markham hotel. P.J. McKeon of Brainerd, who has charge of the M. & I. boarding cars, came down last night from a visit “up north” and registered as a guest at the Markham hotel. Rev. H. F. Parshall of Cass Lake, archdeacon of the diocese of Duluth, came to the city this morning from the “Lake” and has spent the day here mingling among his hosts of local friends. F. W.

Mr. Beer departed this morning for Hackensack for a visit of several days with relatives and friends. The local lodge M. B. A. held a very enjoyable meeting last evening, at L. 0. O. F. hall, when there was a basket social and attendant good time. Everybody “pitched in” and it was a late hour before the crowd became tired sufficiently to adjourn and go to their homes. O. E.Stengland, the local man- ager for Moore & company’s logging interests, is bothered with a “frog felon,” these days, and his left hand is swathed in bandges, and his erstwhile jovial countenance is occasionally beclouded by twinges of pain. He’ll be all right in a few days, however, and the same old jocund “Bill” as of yore. That there are many transcients coming to Bemidji these days and hotel accommodationsare in demand is indicated by the crowded condi- tions of the Markham hotel, which has just been barely able to care for its guests for several days. Bemidjiis a “live one,” in every sense of the word, and summer visitors are already beginning to come here for their hot-weather outings. J. J.

Dean and Crowe decided to come to Be- midji for a visit. They found the local mill of the Bemidji Lumber company running along very nicely and the cut of timber being turned out in a very acceptable manner. Ex:Lieutenant. Governor Linden A. Smith, who has recently been appointed assistant. county attorney for Beltrami county, departed last night for his home at St. Paul after having spent the past two days here working with the county com- missioners. Before leaving, Mr. Smith stated that{he was greatly sur- prised at the growth of Bemidji and that he knew he would enjoy coming here at any time. He expects to be present at every meeting of the board for some time to - come and to assist in advising the miembers' of the board as to the legality of their probable actions in measures of im- ! portance to the county.
