MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. $00 GONTRAGTORS WILL RUSH WORK HEREAFTER Grading Roadbed Resumed in This Immediate Vicinity.—Most Contracts Completed June 30. The coming week will witness a general resumption of grading opera- tions on the right-of-way of the Plummer-Moose Lake line of the Soo railway (which extends through Bemidji), and the contractors who have the grade to make in this immediate vicinity will have the dirt flying in large chunks in order to complete their contracts on “scheduled time.” C. E. Jamieson is working his grading paraphernalia in the vicinity of Schley (east of Cass Lake), where he has a 6-mile contract. This conttact calls for Soo grade from a poimt where the Soo will cross the Great Northern, at Schley, six miles east towards Bena. Richard Evans of Minneapolis, one of the heaviest of the Soo grade builders, has the contract to build the seventeen miles of grade between the “narrows” at Cass Lake to the Mississippi river, in the limits of Bemidji Mr. Evans has already got a good start on his grading, beginning with steam shovels late last fall and grading at Cass Lake and at Farris (four miles west of Cass Lake). Mr. Evans will us four shovels, stationed at advan- tageous points along the line of the right-of-way westward from Cass Lake, and his crew will begin work today with two of the shovels, the one at Cass Lake and the second at Farris. A third steam shovel has been stored in the M. & I. yards in South Bemidji. This shovel will be moved eastward from Bemidji to a point near Rosby. A fourth shovel will also be used on this (the west- ern end) of the Evans contract. John Moberg of Bemidji, who has the contract for grading of eight miles of the right-of-way, from the Mississippi river in the city to a point one mile west of Wilton, will resume operations this week. Mr. Moberg got a fair start in the early winter, grading some 1500 yards. Mr. Moberg has one steam shovel; and he will keep this - “machine” busy from now on until the grade is completed. Both Evans and Moberg have con- tracts calling for the completion of their grades, ready for the steel, not later than June 30. While the major portion of the right-of-way from Moose Lake to Plummer will be ready for steel by July 1, yet there are several contracts on the western end of the line, east ot Plummer, that will not be completed until Aug 1, because of the hilly con- dition of the country there. While some of the grade will not be finished until August 1, it is stated positively by officials of the Soo who are in a position to know of Soo intentions, that the entire Moose Lake-Plummer line will be graded, steel laid and the “air-line to Duluth” prepared and ready in time to assist in bauling the big wheat' crops of North Dakota and northern Minnesota to the “Twin Ports” at Duluth and Superior. It is said that there is a very small portion of the location right- of-way of the Soo which has not been definitely settled, but that this temporary state will be remedied in a few days and due announce- ment will be made of the completion of the entire definite line and that the final arrangement will be very satisfactory to Bemidji citizens.

Morey Miller, son of Mr.and Mrs. D. G. Miller of this city, aged 38 years, died at the home of his par- ents, in this city, at 4:30 o’clock this morning, death resulting from tuberculosis. Death came while Morey slept, and his passing away was as peaceful and painless as the demise of an infant. The announcement of the death came as a shock, although it was known that Morey had been failing very rapidly of late and was visibly growing weaker. Morey Miller, up to a year and a half ago, was one of the most robust and healthy young men in this com- munity. He was of generous pro- portions, and tipped the scales close to the 200 mark. During the month of February, 1909, Mory contracted a bad cold, which developed into a serious case of lagrippe, with complications, keeping him in his bed for some time, He apparanetly rallied from the attack of lagrippe, but was never again in good health, He grad- ually failed, and it was apparent that the ¢white plague” had fas. tened itself upon him, Being of a naturally cheerful disposition, Morey never conceded that he was really tailing fast; and even as late three days ago, was plann- ing with his father as to what he would do ¢“‘when he got well.” The disease fastened itself firmly upon Morey; and two days ago he was compelled to again take to his bed. He grew weaker rapidly, During last night, heslept a great deal; and at 4 o’clock this morning, with no apparent belief that he was nearing the end of his mortal career, he sank into a deep sleep, from which he never awoke again in this world. His death was calmand peaceful; and he was attended by his father and mother. The arrangements for the funeral have not yet been made. A telegram has been sent to R. E. Miller, brother of Morey, who is at Winni- peg, and until an answer is received from him, the date of the obsequies and internment will not be definitely settled. Morey Miller was an honored member of the M. W. A. and the Bemidji fire department. Always of a genial and even-tempered dispo- sition, he was popular with all who knew him; and genuine, sincere re- gret is expressed on all sides, at his untimely demise. Cases Dismissed—Witness Arrested. At 3 o’clock this afternoon, before Court Commissioner Slocum, the caees against Naish McKinnon, Frank Lane and Edmund Munhall, charged with having sold liquor to a person of Indian blood, were dis- missed; at the conclusion of which John Begeman, a material witness, was arrested on the charge of perjury and held tothe district court, bail being fixed in the sum of $500. You ought to hear the people laugh at the Majestic tonight; come and laugh too. — = | MILITIA BOYS WORKING FOR SUCGESSFUL DANGE Committees of Company K Are Assured of Large Crowd Night of April First.
