TO SECURE CO-OPERATION OF BEET SUGAR FACTORY Bemidji Commercial Club Appoints Committee to Confer With Manager Chaska Factory.—Will Be Asked to Address Mass Meeting Here. The Bemidji Commercial club is determined to do everything possi- ble to secure for Bemidji a sugar beet factory and will leave nothing undone during the next few months to bring the matter to a definite point where the feasibility of putting in a factory here will be demon- strated to the entire satisfaction of the capitalists who are financing the different factories throughout the United States. These capitalists, for the most part, are residents of New York City, and they control the management of a large number of sugar beet industries. At a meeting of the local commer- cial club held recently J. J. Opsahl, Al H. Jester and G. E. Car- son were appointed as a commitee to attend the Minnesota Conservation Congress, which will be held in St. Paul March 16717-18, with instruc- tions to, at that time, consult F. H. Flagel, president of the Carver County Sugar company, relative to the building of a beet sugar factory in Bemidji and to request him to visit Bemidji and discuss the matter beets with the farmers of Beltrami county, who will be asked to attend a mass meeting for that purpose. of raising sugar The commercial club is desirous of demonstrating to the Carver County Sugar company, at the Chaska factory, that sugar beets raised in Beltrami county are unex- celled in their production of sugar; and an attempt will be made to se. cure an emergency rate for the pur- pose of shipping sugar beets from this county to the Chaska factory, where the beets can be thoroughly tested and a demonstration made of their most excelient quality. A co-operation of the M. & I. rail- way and the N. P. Railway is necess- ary in order to secure this “‘emer- gency rate,” and W. H. Gemmell, general manager of the M. & I, has written to J. J. Opsahl that the N. P. has a cantract to handle 5,000 tons of beets to be shipped from Boze- man, Mont., to the sugar factory at Billings, Mont.,, to demonstrate whether the Bozemen farmers can produce satisfactory sugar beets, and whether it would be wise to build a sugar factory at Bozeman; and Mr. Gemmell desired informa- tion from Bemidji people as to what was wanted from the railway com- panies in the matter of an emergency rate from Bemidji to Chaska; that on the receipt of such advice he will F ties. Belts. Purses New Neckwear in all the latest- novel- of the ladies at once take up the matter with the N. P. Railway company. Representatives of the N, P. and M. & I. Railway companies will be invited to participate in the mass meeting of the farmers and discuss with Mr. Flagel, the farmers and the Bemidji Commercial club the matter of an emergency rate for shipping beets from Bemidji to Chaska. The recently-organized North Central-Minnesota Shippers’ associ- ation will co-operate with the Com- mercial club, Railway companies and the Beet Sugar Factory at Chaska in securing the raising of sugar beets in this county for dmonstration purposes. It is the intention of the shippers’ association to hold a meeting at Blackduck in the very near future, when the individual members of the asscciation will agree to raise one acre of beets at each station along the right-of-way of the M. & I. Railway company, or at least enough beets to fill a carat each station, which will be shipped to the Chaska factory. This idea, if carried out, would give crops of beets raised in different parts of the county which would demonstrate the quality of beets raised on different soils of Beltrami county; and which will furnish the beet sugar factory with the very best of information as to whether or not Beltrami county, in its entirity, cannot raise sugar beets second to no other section of the United States. The Episcopal Guild will hold a tood sale at the southentrance of Hanson’s drug store on Saturday afternoon.

THE BERMAN EMPORIUM Easter being PROF.DUNTON WILL SPEAK ON THE RURAL SCHOOLS Mcintosh Superintendent and Prof. A.J. McGuire Will Be Here on March 12. Through the efforts of W. R. Mackenzis, Prof. A. M. Dunton, superintendent of the State Agricul- tural High School at McIntosh, will be in Bemidji on Saturday, Mar. 12, and address a mass meet- ing of farmers and others from different parts of Beltrami county on the subject of the consolidation of rural schools and the teaching of agriculture in these schools and also other high schools. For more than a year past, Mr. Mackenzie has been urging upon the township officials of Beltrami county to consolidate their schools and thereby add to the usefulness of the county schools by eliminating the small school house and building a central school, where more ad- vanced studies could be taught in both the common branches and be adding agriculture. In furtherance of his ideas, Mr. Mackenzie has secured Professor Dunton to address the people of Bel- trami county on a subject in which he is noted as an authority. Pro- fessor Dunton was the originator of the idea embraced in the Putman bill, the passage of which resulted in the forming of " ten agricultural high schools during the past year. Professor is a strong advocate of the consolidation; of rural schools in “Wrappers, Long and Short Kimonas at about half Value. A few odd lots of Ribbed Wool Underwear, to close out at prices that will well pay to buy even and his talk to Beltrami county peo- ple will prove very interesting, as the consolidation of rural schools movement is growing rapidly all over the United States. The school at McIntosh has a national reputa- tion by reason of Professor Dunton’s activity in agriulctural work. . Professor Dunton is a member of the committee on agriculture of the Northern Minnesota Development association, of which A, J. McGuire, superintendent ot the Northeast Experimental Farm, Grand Rapids, is the chairman. Mr. Mackenzie expects to induce Professor McGuire to be present at the meeting and also give an address, which will add very materially to the educational value of the meeting. District Court.

The identity and previous resi- dence of Jesse Mots, who was burned to death in a camp in Chester Township, Polk county, on the night of February 19, has been positively proven isy John Mendell and wife, who are in Bemidji today, they ascertaining that young Mots was the son of Mrs. Mendell, being a child born to her when married to her first husband. On Saturday night, February 19, Camp 6, which was practically deserted, was destroyed by fire and the badly charred body of an unknown young man was found in the ruins next morning. Coroner Stenshoel of Crookston visited the scene of the camp (in Chester township along the line of the new Soo railway right-of-way) and investigated the cause of the fire and the death of the man whose body was found in the smouldering embers of the fire. Mr. Srenshoel ascertained thata young man named Jesse Mots had been working in a Soo railway company’s camp, oper- ated by a man named Thompson, and that he had left the camp. The young fellow was traced to a post- office a few miles from the camp and had inquired the distance to camp 6. The next morning, February 20, a charred body was found in the destroyed’ camp. Investigation of circumstances established the belief that young Mots had gone to the camp and started a fire, and while he was asleep the camp had caught fire and the young fellow was smothered before he could make his escape. Mr. and Mrs. Mendell, who live at Strath_gona.,{;\some thirty miles north o 7 %€ River Falls, saw an ac 3 Matg ar & g ol Caiy, L . Thief River Fallsy wuw cumstances surrounding the case - tend to firmly establish the identity of the young man. A telephone message from Crooks- ton states that no inquest was held on the body of Young Mots and that the remains were buried in a cemetery in Chester Township, about four miles from Trail City, a new point on the Soo right-of-way. Young Mots was an inmate of St. Anthony’s hospital prior to his going to work in the railway camp. He was only 15 years old, although well developed and believed to have been near 20. Mr. and Mrs. Mendell state that they do not believe they will remove the body from its pres- ent resting place. GOUNTY BOARD IS BUSY WITH ROUTINE BUSINESS Considering Building Bridges Over the Mississippi River East of Outlet Of Lake Bemidji. The board of county commissioners have been wrestling with a large amount of; business, since they con- vened yesterday, and indications are that they will not be able to finish their work for this meeting before well oninto tomorrow, even with a session tonight. Yesterday afternoon a delegation appeared before the board from the Bemidji Commercial club and took up the matter of constructing or continuing the Wilton road towards Bemidji and also the matter of building a bridge across the Missis- sippi river, near the outlet from Lake Bemidji. The board was favorably inclined to the proposition of extending the Roosevelt-Wilton road from the northeast corner of the northwest quarter of section 33, Eckles town- ship, east to a point one mile beyond the township line and thence south- ward into the city of Bemidji. The commissioners stated that they were ready and willing to co- operate with the city of Bemidji, at any time, on the proposition of build- ing a bridge at the Mississippi out- let, the county to pay half the cost, the city to pay the balance. Plans are submitted to the board for the construction of a bridge across the Mississippi river between sections 3 and 10, at a point about 800 feet below the power company’s dam, and the board will ask for bids for’ the construction of a steel bridge and also for the construction of a wooden bridge, according to plans and specifications furnished by the county surveyor. The board passed a resolution requesting the postmaster of Bemidji to deliver all mail addressed to the county auditor of Beltrami county to the county auditor, whether the same bears the name of John Wil- mann or any other name. The board rejected the bid sub- mitted to clear the brush from a proposed ‘road in the Town of Liberty, as the bid was considered as being too large. - This forenoon the board received and filed the record of fees and gratuities received by the variot county officers during the year 190 The bonds of the First Nationi bank and the Northern Nation: bank, as county depositaries, wer received, accepted and filed.
