POLK COUNTY DUE FOR POLITIGAL FIGHT Candidates for Legislature Announce Themselves Early—All File as Republicans. Crookstor, June 23—(Special correspondence)—The first guns in the legislature fight in Polk county have been fired with the filing as the primaries of Represzntative John Saugstad as a candidate for the senate, Represen- candidate for tative John Holton to succeed him- self and W. A. Marin a candidate for representative to succeed Saug- stad. This is the county option legislative tic- All filed as republicans. ket and as far as Marin is con- cerned, is demccratic also as he was arigid Johnson man two years ago. s means one of the prettiest legislative fights Polk County has ever had. Senator Stephens has not filed but without doubt will do so and there isno question but what he will have two running mates for the house to oppose Marin and liberal legislative appropriations thereafter, Better methods of procuring de- sirable immigrants for the unsettled lands of the state asked for in a Strong plank on that question. Manual training, rural township graded schools and the granting of liberal appropriations for the carry- ing out ot advanced methods in the schools of the state are urged, along with a proposition for the extension of the agricultural school system. The next legislature is asked to enact further suitable laws for the protection of laboring men and wo- men in accordance with the report of the employers’ liability commis- sion, which will be made to it. The legislature is also asked to revise the primary election law so as to do away with some of its ob- jectionable features. Taking up the transportation question, the resolutions declare the right of the state and nation to regulate railroads, and at the same time affirm the rights of railroads to charge rates that will yield a fair profit on actual investments, On the temperance question the convention went on record in favor of strict regulation and control of the liquor traffic, and pledges the Holton. The latter trio will not be rabidly anti-county option by any means, but will recognize the im- portance of other issues as a par with county option. The fight will be between "the radical county optionists and a ticket which will not make county option the leading issue, but one of a number of im- portant matters requiring legisla- tion. The result will be the hottest fight that Polk county has seen since the populist regime years ago when Polk county was a hotbed of that element. What the outcome will be is ex- tremely problematical. Those who have been prominently identified with the development of the north- ern Minnesota idea will not tie to Saugstad and Marin strongly, but they are conceded to have strong suport among the Norwegian con- gregations in the Thirteen Towns. Whoever wins, there is no ques- tion but what the campaign will be a red hot one from start to finish, and the bitterness already shown will be augmented as the primaries are approached. SLIVERS FROM PLANKS IN ADOPTED PLATFORM Commend Taft and his efforts to carry out party pledges. Pat Minnesota’s representatives in Congress on the back for their “united” support of a taritt com- mission measure; also for trying to procure legisiation in the interest of the people. The tariff plank was the longest. It approves tariff legislation of the Sixty-first Congress, especially where- by the president is enabled, by pro- clamation to treat with foreign coun- tries for the application of a mini- mum rate; and it “believes in the revision of the tariff cchedules in whole or in part, in accordance with the facts ascertained by a tariff comumission.” One resolution expresses the pro- found sorrow of the canvention because of the deaths of Governor Johnson and State Treasurer Dine- bart, “Governor Eberhart,” the resol- tions declare, “called to the execu- tive chair under peculiarly distressing circumstances, performed the difficult and delicate duties of his position with credit to himself and honor to the state.” Reapportionment, for which the whole northern part of the state is clamoring, is guaranteed, at the hands of a Republican legislature next winter. Praising Roosevelt for his conser- vation policy, a plank aiso com- mends the efforts of the national and state administrations along that line of endeavor. R. C. Dunn’s good roads resolu tions went through flying. One asks a constitutional amendment pro- viding a 1-mill tax, the other for a legislative appropriation at the next session of a quater of a mill tax and | party“to a fair, full and free con- sideration of all legislation pertain- ing to the liquor traffic and its regulation.” Mackenzie On Committee.

The pictures are excellent. “A Romance of the Western Hills,” is a good strong picture from beginning to end, telling of the wrongs of the Indians by the white men. The “Miner and Camille,” is a very funny comedy that would do you good to see. “Ready in a Minute,” is another picture that seems to lengthen into days and years waiting for his best girl. Tonight is positively the only opportunity you have to see these pictures. Three shows commencing at 7:45. MANY DELEGATES PRESENT Convention of Millers’ National Fed- eration at Minneapolis. Minneapolis, June 23.—Flour manu- facturers from all part of the United States and Canada and also a number trom foreign countries are gathered in Minneapolis to attend the eighth an- nual convention of the Millers’ Nation- al Federation, which will be in ses- sion three days. Three special trains brought dele- gates from South, East and West, and with the delegates brought in by other trains it was estimated at noon that the attendance would reach 1,000. The morning was devoted to the re- ception of delegates and registration at the West hotel. The registration room was swarmed with the Hour grinders and a more jovial crowd would be hard to find. Many were ac- companied by their wives. All ses- slons are being held in the Miles theater. to the young man that is|- was 2:38:4-5. MOBERG MAKING DIRT FLY ON THE SO0 GUT Dummy Tracks Laid Across Minnesota Avenue and Swamp Is Being Filled Rapidly. John Moberg has been digging some dirt for the Soo during the past ten days. Yesterday he put his trains across Minnesota avenue and ran the track down into the swamp. This is being filled up rapidly and when the job is “com- pleted, an old eye sore of Bemidji will be removed. The steam shovel is cutting through the old ball grounds and the dirt taking out of that hill will be used to make and fill bridge ap- proaches. It is expected that the new union depot of the Soo and M. & I. will be placed in that block and will back up to Second street and Beltrami avenue. Auto drivers have been having trouble in getting over the Soo crossings with their machines. The grades are so soft that it takesa lot of power to force a machine over. One machine tried to make it Sunday and could not. While back- ing down the hill for another start, it went into the ditch and was there for several hours. Incidentally, aparty of four missed dinner at Jester’s farm.

PROMINENT LOCAL BUSINESS MEN OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS Stock To Be Sold Here In Small Lots On Easy Payments— Proceeds To Be . Invested. Bemidji has one more corpoulibn added to its number. This corpora- tion will be known as the Beltrami County Savings and Building Asso- ciation, and is organized under the laws of the state of Minnesota. A meeting for the purose of elect. ing officers and directors was called at 10:30 this morning at the office of Phibbs & Kline. The following of: ficers and directors were relected. President, J. P. Lahr, well known furniture dealer in this city; vice- president, K. K. Roe, of grocery firm Roe and Markusen; treasurer, W. L. Brooks, of the Northein Na- tional Bank; secretary, W. C. Kline, of Phibbs & Kline real estate and insurance company. The board of directors consist of of the following members: J. O. Harris, register of deeds; W. C. Klein; W. L. Brooks; A. R. Erickson, post master; A. B. Palmer, hardware merchant; J. P. Lahr; George An- derson, with the Crookston’ Lumber company; K. K. Roe; G. E. Carson, of the Bemidji Pioneer; George E. Kreatz, contractor; and A. A. Melges, wholesale commission house. With officers and. directors such as thése here should be very little trouble in disposing of the 2,000 shares among Bemidji residents. The capital of the company is placed at $200,000. It is an asso- ciation solely for the purpose of assisting that class of borrowers who are unable to borrow money on their personal account and at the same time are desirous of securing a a home that will some day be their own, allowing them to pay for it in the easiest way possible, and on a basis of six per cent per annum straight—no dues, files or forfeit- ures. It has been organized solely for the ‘other fellow”—and the upbuilding of 'the city of Bemidji and Beltraami county. It is safe to say that at least 50 families could: be added to our population in' a very short time if there were houses to accommodate them, It will not only help the building of homes in Bemidji but it will help the owners of small tracts of land in Beltrami county. Mr. Woodworth who started the company, will be in this city for. the next few months and will work among Bemidji business and‘ pro- fessional men as well as the working men and give them all equal oppor- tunities to secure shares in this new organization. The shares will be sold at $1.00 down and 50c per month per share. Shares are worth $100 when matured, two shares would cost $1.00 per month and 20 shares $10 per month. The monies of this organiza- tion will be loaned out, as fast as it is paid in, upon good improved real estate security- The certificates are transferable and a receipt for paid up shares. It is a well known fact that other : building and loan assoqutnons are working here and aré doing a good business. Bemidji will patronize a home company aiid this new one will doubtless receive all of the en- couragement it can ask for. Candidate For County Auditor.
