IS APPROVED BY A. P. RITCHIE Believes That if Enacted Into Law It Will Canse More Interest in Work Being Done in State. A. P. Ritchie, secretary of the Bel- trami county Agricultural associa- | tion has received a copy of a bill, which is known as Senate File No. 677 and House File no. 876, it ha Kenzie, former secretary of the [ assoclation. The measure meets with the “The-bill is without doubt a good one, and it is my earnest hope that it is passed by the legislature and signed by the governor.” Several of the clauses of the bill are as’ follows; Section 3097. Powers. Reformation—Gen- | eral An agricultural society may be incorporated by citizens of any county, but only one such society shall be organized in any county; Suchw-society may sue and be sued in its corporate name; may adopt by-laws, rules, and regu- lations, alter and amend same; may purchase and hold, lease and control any real of personal property deemed necessary fo promote the objects of the | same ‘tiou and control of ‘the grounds upon streets and grounds adjacent thereto! during such fair, so far as may be necessary for such purpose. : Any person. who shall wilfully} violate any lawful rule or regulation | ‘made by .such societies during the days of the fair shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. . Sec. 2. That Section 3098. Standing Appropriation. The sum of $100,000 is hereby annually ap- | propriated to county agricultural societies holding agriecultural fairs, to be divided equally and paid pro rata, for the purpose of paying pre- miums at the fairs of such societies, only, as have an annualamembership of twenty-five or more, maintain an active -existance, hold amnual fairs, and which have paid out in pre- miums as-much as they received from the state. No society shall re- ceive more than the amount paid out in premiums. All payments hereunder shall be made on or before the 20th day of December in each year by the state auditor, pro rata to such societies as may comply with all the provisions of this act, and have filed or cause to be filed the report hereinafter re- quired, or as soon thereafter as the auditor can make the apportionment between such societies, and not later than January 1st following. Pro- vided, that if any such society, hay- ing advertised am annual fair, has been prevented from holding . the same, and has incurred expense in such advertising and _preparation, there shall be paid to such society an amount not exceeding such expense this section shall be construed to prevent state organizations of but- ter, cheese, dairy, live stock and poultry associations from sharing in the amount hereby appropriated un- der the conditions imposed in this section excepting those organizations which receive an appropriation un- der other state laws. Sec. 3. That Section 3100, Re- vised Laws 1905, be and the same is hereby amended so as 1o read as 10! laws: v Section 3100. Annual Meetings—- Reports.

Hamilton of Des Moines, made a study of the commission form of municipal government, will ad-! dres the residents of Bemidji on or about Sunday April 9. A letter has been received by Al- derman K. K. Roe to the effect that Mr. Hamilton was to start for.the coast about the eighth of next month and that if it was agreeable to all comverned he would be very:-much plemsed to talk upon.the subject of commission form of government at that time. That Mr. Hamilton understands the - commission ‘plan thoroughly, there is no doubt, as he has written a book on the subject, and no citizen of this city who is interested in a better municipal government should fail to here him when he talks here. Lestrud Settles in Bemidji. 0. A. Lestrud of Park River, N. D., is in’' Bemidji and has decided to make this city his home in the tuture, He 'is a funeral director and li- censed embalmer and has entered the employ of M. E. Ibertson.
