JOHN MOBERG EIGHT MILES FOR THE S00 Will Begin at Mississippi River Between Lakes B'eniidii and Irving and Grade Westward Through City.— Work on Extension Progressing. - The contract for grading the right-of-way which the Soo railroad will use to build its line westward from the Mississippi river, between Lakes Irving and Bemidji, for a distance of eight miles, has been let to John Moberg of this city, with the understanding that dirt will begin to move in the perform- ance of the contract within the next two weeks. Mr. Moberg has signed the con- tract with the Soo officials to grade eight miles of the road bed, includ- ing switches and grades to be used for yards, beginning at the M. & I. bridge to traverse through the city limits, going a short distance north of the present Great Northern line and northwestward to a point some- what north of Wilton. Mr. Moberg states that his con- tract calls for the completion and acceptance of the eight miles of road bed prior to July 1, 1910, at which time itis expected tbat the work of laying steel on the Plummer- Duluth extension will have been partially completed and there will be but few miles of road on which to WILL GRADE. lay steel, before the Soo cars will be whizzing through Bcmidji on ‘the great Canadian Pacific Soo-Wisconsin Central, ex- tending from Vancouver to Chicago. Mr. Moberg has secured a steam shovel and other grade-constructing paraphernalia in addition to that which he already possesses, and will be ready to begin operations within the two weeks specified by the Soo officials.in their requirements accom- panying the contract for building the eight miles of right-of-way. There will be a lot of dirt moved within the city limits and immedi- ately west of here, necessitating the reducing of two good-sized hills while making cuts through them and removing the dirt into the city for the big fill-in between the river and the high ground near the old water tank. g Mr. Moberg will have a large gang of men employed in his work and will, of coruse, make his head- quarters in Bemidji. transcontinental William Evarts, the Soo engineer who had charge of surveying the Visit This Exclusive Women's and Ghildren's Store.

Evarts and M. D. Stoner, the local Soo surveyor, visited Cass Lake and went over the line surveyed westward from the “Lake” towards Bemidji. In working westward from Be- midji with® their line, the crew in charge of Mr. Stoner met the crew which Mr. Evarts has working southwestward from the vicinity of Leonard, and a line is now practic- ally - completed from Bemidji to Plummer, but whether the line will be permanently selected is not stated. J. Ferrier, who is the general man- age for the J. Ferrier Railroad con- tracting firm of Duluth, traveled over the Soo survey from Cass.Lake to Bemidji and westward, this week. Mr. Ferrier makes a specialty, of putting in piling and will undoubt- edly secure the work of piling for the bridges which the Soo will build on its grade norhwest from Moose Lake, Richards Evans of Minneapolis, one of the most prominent railroad contractors in the state,wi]l undoubt- edly secure a contract to grade a considerable portion of the Soo right-of-way =t points both east and west of Bemidji. Mr. Evans was a visitor in the city this week, but did not say whether he had signed a grading contract or not. Mr. Evans has done much grading for the Soo and will undoubtedly be given some big contracts on the Plummer-Duluth extension. PAUL THOMPSON IS HELD TO GRAND JURY; ASSAULT Was Incensed at Charivari Party and Fired Into Crowd, Wounding Young Girl. Paul Thompson, a resident of Pitt who fired into a crowd of charivarists, last Sunday night, at his home near Pitt, and severely injured Hazel Farrier, a 15-year- old girl, was brought to Bemidji yesterday by Sheriff Hazen and lodged in the Beltrami county jail, to await the action of the grand jury on the charge of assault, Pitt had been married but a few hours when the serenaders appeared at his home and began a sound of revelry that would rival an Indian war dance. Pitt disputed with the crowd from an open window and then fired two shots in the air, and as the crowd did not disperse, he fired into the crowd, the bullet striking the Farrier girl in the arm and side, inflicting a severe wound. This is the story of the shooting as given from Bau- dette. Pitt was arrested and given a hear- ing before a justice at Baudette, and was held to await the action of the next grand jury on the charge of assault. Seven-Cent Social Friday Evening.

Larson, special officer of the Indian depart- ment, and Frank Tuffts, deputy United States marshall, who brought them from Redby, yesterday after- noon; and their arrests are in line with the campaign which is being waged by the special officers of the Indian department to prohibit the liquor traffic among Indians. Kling plead guilty and was placed under bonds to await the action of the federal grand jury, at the term of court which will be he]ld at Fergus Falls,next week. Bonds in the sum of $500 were furnished.

The friends of Mr. and Mrs. Mantor have been kept quite busy guessing as to what date their wedding would take place, and there has been considerable friendly joking over the event. Both bride and groom have many friends here, and sincere congratu- lations accompany them on their wedding trip. Gus Beaulieau Visits Bemidji. Gus Beaulieau, the pioneer White Earth resident who was for many years official interpretor for the government, and who has held many position under ‘the Indian depart- ment in years gone by, was a visitor irr this city yesterday. In company with B. L. Fairbaaks, another gentleman who is prominently ident- ified with White Earth affairs, Mr. Beaulieau was here on his way to the Red Lake Indian agency. This was Mr. Beaulieau’s first visit to Be- midli for many years, and he ex- pressed great surprise at the wonder- Jul growth, metropolitanwards, which was evident on every hand. FAMOUS SALVATION ARMY LEGTURER TO BE HERE Colonel Stephen Mirshall of Minne- apolis Will Speak at City Hall November 10th. Colonel Stephen Marshall will visit Bemidji next Wednesday, Nov- ember 10. The colonel has been a Salvation Army officer for over twenty-three years and was last month appointed by Commander Booth to take charge of the Northern Province, which is composed of Wisconsin, Minnesota, North and South Dakota, and Northern Michi- gan; and this will be his first visit to Bemidji. Captain and Mrs. J. George Barry, the officers in charge of the local work, are very desirous that Bemidii should not be behind other cities in giving the colonel a hearty welcome. The city opera house has been secured for the meeting which will be held at that time and a prominent citizen will introduce Colonel Mar- shall. Colonel Marshall will be accom- panied by Staff Captain Story, the Young People’s Secretary for the Northern Province, whois an ex- cellent musician and plays the famous English Concertena. The children and young people of our city should not fail to see this man. Once seen and heard he is never forgotten. It is expected that the city = hall will be packed to its capacity. The colonel, previous to coming to his present command, with head- quarters at Minneapolis, was in command of the Chicago Midland Province; with headquarters at Chicago. Good speaking, special music, free admission and a pleasant time should be an inducement for all to be there. More specific arrange- ments will be given later.

K WILL PLAY AT GRAND RAPIDS, ON SUNDAY NEXT Local Football Team Waives All Conditions and Will *“‘Beard the Lion in His Den.”—High School Game Here Tomorrow. PRACTICE TONIGHT. " Every member of Co. K football team is urged to be at practice this evening, in uniform. Our big game is with Grand Rapids Sunday. —J. Hillaby, Mgr. After much disputing and quib- bling over conditions, the Company K Football team of Bemidji has finally waived all contentions which it bas had with the City Football team of Grand Rapids and has agreed to play a game with the Grand Rapids eleven, at Grand Rapids, next Sunday afternoon. This decision was reached only after it was found to be impossible to get the Grand Rapids team to play here or anywhere else except in Itasca county, and rather than have no game at all, the Bemidji football boys have shown themiselves true sportsmen and will line up against the champions of northeast- ern Minnesota, on their own ‘‘dung- hill.” There has been much said as to unfair treatment of visiting football teams both at Grand Rapids and Bemidji, but Bemidji people believe that the Grand Rapids admirers of the game will see to it that the Be- midji players will get a square deal when they play in the “Rapids” next Sunday. Undoubtedly a large crowd of Bemidji sports will go to the “Rap- ids” to see the game, and as there is intense rivalry between the two elevéns, the game promises to be the most fiercely-fought football contest ever waged on the gridiron in north- ern Minnesota. Manager Hillaby will play his team in the following positions. Breneman, center; Ottorg; Edd rt, Stewart re, Snelling or Jenkins 1g, Lucas It, Lindsay or Sheok le, Shook qr, Hanson rh, Kelly 'lh, Hillaby fb, Lycan and Kreatz, subs. - It has been impossible for the Compahy K eleven to secure a game with any football aggregration in northern Minnesota. ~ Teams at Grand - Forks, Crookston and Brain- erd have made dates and refused to play, with the result that the local players have had but little practice in actual games. However, the boysare in splendid condition™ and they intend to put up the fight of their lives at Grand . Rapids Sun- day afternoon. A neutral referee will be chosen—one who has no in- terest at either Grand Rapids or Bemidji, which should give an opportunity for the best team to win on its merits. Bemidji High vs. Thief River High, Tomorrow Afternoon. The Bemidji High School foot- ball eleven will play a game in this city tomorrow afternoon, at 1:30 o’clock, against the Thief River Falls High School football eleven, the game having been arranged by Manager Lycan today. The game is called so early in the afternoon in order to allow the Thief River players time to play the game and get away on the afternoon train for the west. ' The Thief River eleven is sup- posed to be a strong aggregation and it is thought that the game to- morrow afternocp will be a closely- coniested one. The line-up of the Bemidji team will be the same as was used in the game against Crookston, recently. All who can should turn out and see this game, as it will probably be the last one the local high school boys will participate in this fall. — 1 ..t 4AY, I\L‘[i /4‘/ Eastman amZ Premo Koclaks $1 to $100 Kodak Supplies, Developing and Printing‘ SEND US YOUR MAIL ORDERS E.
