MacLachlan with his big boat had charge of the work and made short work of collecting the logs. Many local boatmen feared that the lake would be full of dead heads the coming summer but Mr. MacLachlan stated this morning that there would be little or no trouble from logs this summer as the wind had kept them from going to the head of the lake and the only place where there would likely be any throuble would be along the east shore near the Be- midji mill. Owing to the fact that all of the logs stayed together and; did not float to the north end of the lake, the expense in collecting them until the case was called which might be several days after their ar- rival, adding more to the already heavy expense. The case if tried in Bemidji would be set. for a certain day. The arguing of the motion recalls the introduction of a bill into the re- where a change of venue was allow- ed that the county from where _the change was made should bear the burden of the cost. The bill.was lost sight of during the dying hours of the session. W. D. Bailey of the Duluth firm of Washburn, Bailey .and Mitchell closed the case for the company. The outcome of the case is being watched with no little interest as there are over 50 cases of the same nature waiting trial, and the result will not exceed $100. will have some bearing on them.

LOUD IN PRAISE FOR BEMIDJI “Three cheers for Bemidji,” cried from fifteen throats of the Interna- tional Falls men who were initiated into the Bemidji lodge of Elks as the train to which their private car was attached drew out of Bemidji early this morning. | “For good fellowship Bemidji must be placed at the head of the list,” said Frank Lang, register of deeds in Koochiching county. “I always have held a warm spot in my heart for Be- midji. With its paved streets, auto- mobiles, lake and handsome - store buildings and: court house the city may well-be the cause of its citizens | swelling with pride. Next to Inter- national Falls, whére I was a pioneer, | I'm for Bemidji last and all the time. The boys have certainly given us a great time and I hope that we may be given a change to repay them some time.” The sentiment as expresed by Mr. Lang seemed to be the same with all the visitors, and they were all well Led by the Bemidji band the one hundred Elks, including the candi- dates marched from the Markham ho- tel to the city hall where the fun took place.

Shadwald thereby enabling the Bemidji official in ar- resting a man who for some time has been under suspicion as a law breaker. The charge made against Shadwald was that of selling pike from a stock- ed lake. If this could legally be done the lake would annually be visited by many professional fishermen who would ship to the cities and the lake would be drained of fish in a short time. Shadwald ‘was given a fine of tem dollars. “This kind of work is bemg prac- ticed by a few men around the coun= try and they will be given the same medicine as was handed Shadwald if they continue.” BUSY GATHERING EGGS. ‘Warden Clarence Spellman of In- ternational Falls, passed through Bew midji last evening enroute . to Glen- wood where a state hatchery is lo- cated. He was accompanied by a man sent out by the'state for the purpose of. collecting fish eggs, and they were taking spawn to the hatchery gather- ed from the fish in the lakes of Kooch- iching county. This spawn is kept packed in ice. Every spring during the running season the fish commission sends out several crews of men to gather the spawn. It is taken to some hatchery where a large percentage is hatched. “If this spawn is left in' the lakes only about 20 per cent ever develope, M. B.
