BEMIDJI.
Ye Editor Makes a Business Trip
to that Far Famed City
Of the Woods.
From Lisbon, n. D, Searchlight.

After due preparation, we de-
parted on Monday of last week
for the city whose fame as log
ging center has been heralded all
over the Dakotas within the last
two years, owing to the fact that
the North Dakota Press Associa-
ton were invited there for an out
ing two years ago.
We arrived in Bemidji about
six O'Clock, p. M, and registered
at the Markham Hotel. Here we
found a home for travellers runon
business principles. The sample
room was put at our disposal-the
travelling mems sample room
not the liquid refreshment par
lorS.$
The next morning we unpacked
the paintings we had come SC far
to dispose of, made during the
winter months by the artist, Mrs.
F. S. Reed. There are thirty-two
dispensories of liquid refresh
ment in Bemidji, or one to every
100 population, and to each prop
rietor was sent an invitation to
come to the hotel and view the art
display.
About 2 p. m. they began to al
rive, and from then until bedtime
the writer enjoyed popularity
almost equal to that of Mrs.
Nation in Wichita, Kan. Many
Of them cast longing looks at the
coveted treasures, but most of
them did not feel like spending
so large a sum of money at once.
Among those who called at the
hotel to sec the paintings WAS that
prince of good fellows, G. Fl.
Miles, who has a hotel and saloon
on the principal cornerin the city,
and he was the man with whom
we closed the deal. A local artist
was called in to hang the paint
|ings in a proper manner, with
drapery behind, a canopy over
head, and electric jets shaded so
as to throw their light upon the
canvas in the best possible man.

Marshal Boyle-The attempted rob

night demonstrated the necessity Of hav-
ing better rear entrance protection and
keeping lights burning. 1t ISM difficult
matter to get into the store through a
back entrance, for neither the windows
nor the doors are properly protected.
Some kind OF screens or extra doors or
shutters should be placed on the out
side or else strong bars put on the in
side, and then the lights should be kept
burning throughout the night This
would insure better protection.

STORE
OPENED BY BURGLAR BY REMOV-
ING BACK DOOR FROM ITS
HINGES SUNDAY NIGHT.
The Place of Business Of the Wyoming
Dry Goods Company Entered But
Nothing of Value Missed-Cash
Register Had Been Tempered
With, and Ten Dollars Rung Up
No Clue to Robber.

The Wyoming Dry Goods company,
owned by Mrs. Cordiner at 800 Second
street, and operated by Miss Quirk,
was entered by a burglar Sunday night,
nothing was taken.
Cordiner's iron yard occupies the
premises back of the store. The yard
is enclosed with a board fence, but
the gate could be opened without eff
fort, and it required no skill to get in.
In the ear room of the building there
is stored some machinery and iron
stock, and this room can be entered
without effort from the yard.
The door between this room Inc the
store fronting the street opens into
the machine room, and the
burglar had but to remove the screws
from the hinges and lift the door down
to gain entrance into the store.
It was some time after Miss Quirk
appeared at the store Monday morning
before she discovered that the store
had been broken into, n she at once
set to work to discover if anything had
been missed.
She found that the cash register had
been tampered Tith, and that the key
indicatingN$ $40 had been pressed down,
but the drawer had lost not that sum
or any other, SO far as could be ascer-
tanned, and nothing was missing from
the shelves.
What object the person had in enter
ing the store could not be ascertained
from any trace he left, and it is thought
that he mistoOk the store. thinking he
was entering 6 store that would afford
him the articles he needed in his bust
ness.

EXCELLENT YIELD OF
ALBANY COUNTY APPLES.

Jacob Lund, the Big Laramie ranch
man and proprietor Of n Of the sum-
mer resorts on that excellent trout
stream, Is justly proud Of his apple
crop this year. Eight years ago Mr..
Lund planted a number of young fruit
trees and he is 10Y reaping the bene-
fits. He has about forty of as healthy
fruit trees as can be found in any eli
mate n of this number nearly a doz-
en- are now loaded down with an abund-
ance Of excellent apples about ripe
enough to be gathered in. Some Of
the branches are so laden with fruit
that it is necessary to put support un-
der them to keep the branches from
breaking from their weight Of apples.
The apples raised are of the variety
known as the Wealthy apple and are
especially good for cooking purposes,
which can be attested by the guests at
the Lund ranch Sunday who had the
pleasure of eating pie made from ap,
pies grown on the ranch. In the little
orchard are also a number Of Siberian
crab apple trees which are bearing
abundantly. Earlier in the season an
excellent crop of cherries and rasp-
berries was gathered and the plum
trees. though not bearing as well as
the apples. are doing nicely.
Mr.. Lund certainly has cause to feel
proud Of his success In the fruit rails
ing line, especially when it has been
considered that this is not a fruit-rais-
ing country.
