= SflClEjl’Y; VOLUME 7. NUMBER 183. BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 19, 1909. FORTY CENTS PER MONTH. SAW MILLS HAVE CLOSED DOWN FOR THE WINTER Past Season a Busy One.—Extensive Logging to Be Carried On During Winter.—Mills Mean Much for Bemidji. The active sawing of logs in the mills of the Bemidji and ~Crookston Lumber companies has been sus- pended for the present season and a majority of the men who have been working in the sawmill plants of the lumber manufacturing industries of these companies will be employed in the logging camps in this north section. While the two sawmills are closed, the planing mills owned by both companied will be operated to their fullest capacity during the entire winter season. The mill of the Crookston Lumber company began sawing on March 30 and there was a continuous run until November 13. The season was a very successful one, there be- ing no mishaps to speak of to the machinery and lay-offs were very few. i The average monthly payroll of the Crookston company during the sawing season was $25,000; and the number of men employed was be- tween 400 and 500. During the coming winter about 100 men will be employed in the planning mill and .in loading cars and this payroll will average be- tween $7,000 and $8,000 per month. The Crookston company will have about 1500 men and 650 head of horses working in the woods cutting timber for the company. The average payroll of these men will be about $54,000 per month. . The timber which will be cut by the men in the employ of the Crookston Lumber company in the woods adjacent to - Bemidji will supply the mills at Bemidji, Crook- ston and Sauk Rapids, the Crook- ston company having decided to run the Crookston mill another year. The Crookston Lumber com- pany purchased the Sauk Rapids mill last fall and it is now one of that company’s sawing plants. The - Bemidji Lumber company began sawing with their plant on April 1 and the season was termi- nated November 12. THE BAGLEY BANKERS CANDIDAGY FAVORED Kaiser's Candidacy for State Treasurer Favored by Local Republicans.— Will Make Active Canvas. The movement which has been started by friends of Albert F. Kaiser, the Bagley banker, to run him as a candidate for the republican nomination for state treasurer was given publicity in this city yesterday and the proposi- tion has received the favor of the republican leaders here and in this vicinity. . It was impossible to get Mr. Kaiser over the ’phone, but from what we are able to learn, the article in the Minneapolis paper, which proposed Mr. Kaiser for state treasurer, was inspired by friends of Mr. Kaiser without the know- ledge of the Bagley man. It is believed, however, that Mr. Kaiser will become a candidate for state treasurer if he has reasons to believe that the field will be clear to him and things are right for a Ninth district man to ask something at the hands of the party. Mr. Kaiser's well-known repub- licanism is recognized by members of the party in the Ninth district as being deserving of something good. Local bankers, with one accord, heartily approve the suggestion that Mr. Kaiser become a candidate for state treasurer. Band Meeting Tonight, The Bemidji band will meet at the usual place, the armory, tonight. All meml:eu are requested to be present. . s V. L. Ellis, Mapager Band. The Bemidji company employed 225 men during the summer and the average monthly payroll was $15,000. The sawing season was a very suc- cessful one for this company. There were no accidents to the machinery and no delays anywhere about the plant. This winter about seventy-five men will be employed to work in the planning mill of this company and the average monthly payroll will be about $6,000. Extensive logging operations will be carried on during the winter by the Bemidji Lumber company all of which will be by sub-contractors. Most of this timber is adjacent to the M. & I. railway. - Elks Hold Interesting Meeting. One of the largest and best meet- ings ever held by Bemidji Lodge, No. 1052, B. P. O. E,, was held at their hall last evening, there being a number of the antlered herd from this city as well as from surrounding towns present, and taking partin the work. ’ A class consisting of Dr. C. R. Sanborn, M. J. Brown and Joseph Harrington were duly antlered in the approved fashion. After the initiation an interesting social ses- sion was held which was greatly enjoyed by all present. Hunters, Eager{for Lioenses. Up to Wednesday evening 468 licenses to kill big game had been issued at the County auditor’s office, This isa fair number of licenses considering the fact thatone is not necessarily required to secure a license to hunt big game in his county. The number compares very favor- ably with the licenses issued last year; ‘and the revenue therefrom, minus ten cents-which goes to the auditor,is “velvet” for the State Game & Fish commission.q SUPT.

How to properly raise and feed our calves so as to make good, profitable cows out of them, how to use the skim milk to best advantage asa hog feed, and many of the small but so important points.in the care of the cow will be explained. It will pay you to come and listen. Let us start right, for no Anderson-Silverthorn Wedding. The marriage of Miss Ellen And- erson to Clement Silverthorn was solemnized yesterday morning at the home of the bride’s mother in this city, Rev. S. E. P, White performing the ceremony. After the ceremony, which was witnessed by relatives and a few invited friends, 2 sumptu- ous wedding breakfast was served. Word was received in this city this afternoon of the drowning of Frank Gordan, and his father, in Red Lake, yesterday. The two Gordanfi, who live on the Tamarac river, were at Shotley buy- ing winter provisions and had made their purchases and started home in a boat. While at the store they purchased considerable provisions, a stove and other articles, and when FATHER AND SON DROWNED IN RED LAKE, YESTERDAY The Two Men Were on Their Way Home With Winter’s Provisions When Boat Capsizes.
