That Amount Would Lay
Complete Sewer System
in Bemidji.
COST PER LOT WOULD COME TO|
ABOUT TWENTY DOLLARS.
The Fall is Sufficient to Do

The Duluth engineer having

The Duluth engineer having
the work in charge has completed
the plans for a sewage system
for Bemidji, to cover the business
section of the town and a large
portion of the residence district,
up as far as Tenth street. The
cost of the system is estimated
at about $4,000. There would
be over 81, 900 feet, or about six
miles of pipe laid, which would
directly benefit 1850 lots. The
estimated cost per lot for putting
in the system is $19.16.
1t is proposed to run the pipes
800 feet into the lake from near
the foot of Third street. This
would empty the refuse directly
into the river channel, at this
point % feet deep, and it is
thought that the current of the
river will be sufficient to carry 1t
through the lake into the Missis.
sippi proper. No engines for
pumping will be necessary. a
33 foot fall can be obtained, and
this will be sufficient to carry off
all the drains.
There is a great deal to the
plans, and to properly ex-
anime them and consider the
sewer question more than one
evening is necessary, therefore
the council last night voted to
come together next Sunday
afternoon and enter into an in
formal discussion of the project.
It is not likely that the work of
laying the system win be started
before next spring.

Notwithstanding the large placards

Upon the pope's return to the throne

Norway, Mich, Aug. 11.-Fiye ltal-
the coronation OF Pope Plus x. took
place yesterday in the basilica OF st.
Peters in the presence OF the princes
and high dignitaries of the church,
diplomats and Roman mobiles, and With
all the solemnity and splendor associ-
ated with this, the most magnificent
rite in the Roman Catholic church. As
Cardinal Macci, the dean of the oardi-
nal deacons, placed the crown on the
head Of the venerable pontin the
throng of 10000 persons gathered
within the cathedral burst into unre-
strained acclamations, the choir In
toned a hymn of triumph and the bells
Of Rome rang out joyful peal. 1t is
fifty-seven years since the Romans and
Europe assisted in such a function in
ST. Peters.
Rush Was Terrific.
The great basilica, popularity sup
posed never to have been quite full,
was overflowing with humanity. When
the doors of ST. Peters we're opened
the thrush OF people was terrific;
many who started from the bottom Of
the steps outside we're lifted off their
feet and carried into the cathedral. 1t
was q great human torrent let loose,
thousands of people rushing and
squeezing amid screams, protests,
gesticulations and cries for help. But
once In the whirlpool there was no
escape, and the compactness Of the
crowd proved to be the safety OF those
caught in 1t. Women tainted in COM
paratively large numbers, and even
men were overcome by the heat, but
no serious accidents were reported.
After their entrance the people had
further
Long Hours Of Waiting,

were on their feet altogether ten

another five while it lasted
Inside the Vatican palace there was
no less movement and hustle as the
papal procession composed of about
500 persons was formed The pope
seemed TO be the only tranquil one
among them all The procession was
a long time in getting under way, but
afterward, as it moved through the
magnificent halls and corridors of
the Vatican it recalled former days
when all was color and picturesque
ness within the palace. The central
figure In the long cortege was Plus X,
borne in the sedia gastatoria. His
heavy white robes and the red and
gold inter were worn without an eff
fort The procession proceeded to the
door of the basi.ica, and when the
cleaning cross which preceded the
cortege was seen it was
Greeted With Great Applause.
On the appearance of the pontiff
himself it seemed as though the peo-
pie would seek to carry hin in their
arms, so great was their enthusiasm.
Cries of Plus, our pope, our father"
and Long live Plus X" were raised

Council Informed that Village
is in a Very Unsanitary
Condition.
BOARD OF HEALTH SUBMITTED
A REPORT LAST NIGHT.
Other Matters of More or Less
Importance Up for
Consideration.

The business section of Be-
midi is in very unsanitary
condition, end the man supposed
to look after the cleanliness of
the village has been decidedly lax
in carrying out his duties. This
is the substance of the report
submitted to the village council
last night by the board of health,
which held a meeting at o'clock
yesterday afternoon. The re
port stated that several buildings
near the business center of town
needed a thorough cleaning, both
inside and out, and that they
should be disinfected. 1t also
severely censured the city scav
enger for his lax methods in
looking after the city's health,
and recommended that the coun-
Gil take some action to make him
do his work. There are many
foul smelling holes, reeking with
the rankest kind of filth, back of
some of the business blocks, said
the report. 1t was voted to ac-
cept, the report and refer it to
the city scavenger.
The matter of a new and larger
pump for the city waterworks
also came up for consideration.
It is proposed to purchase a
1000 gallon pump for the water
works. The Warfeld Electric
company offered to operate the
water plant engine and pay all
expenses for so doing if a three
years contract would be given
them. The price asked for the
work is $50 a month for the first
year, SIS a month for the second
year and $1OO a month for the
third year. The provision is
made, however, that the plant
must be established within a
distance of 100 feet of the War
field electric light plant. This
would be cheaper than the city
could operate the system, but
there would be an expense
attached to moving the water
: works from their present loca
tion on the hill, distance of two
blocks. 1t was argued that the
city would probably some time
own the electric light plant, and
that it would be more convenient
and cheaper to have the two to-
gether. The offer of the com
pany was received and placed on
file. Samples of the water taken
from 10, ., and 40foot depths
near the Wartield plant will be
sent to the state chemist to be
tested. No decision was reached
on the engine matter, but it will
be again taken up at a meeting
of the council held next Thurs
day night for that special pur-
pose.
Those owning property facing
the city park had a petition in
asking that all the buildings now
il the park, including the old
band stand, be torn down, and
that-,no more be erected in the
future: also that camping of any
nature whatever be prohibited in
the Lark. It was voted to accept
the petition and place it on file.
1t was voted to allow the militia
Sthe use of the city hall until bet
tes quarters can be provided. A
resolution endorsing the action
of the militia company in asking
the governor to appoint it as a
regular member of the Mime
sofa national guard was adopted.
The resolution will be forwarded
to Gov. Van SAINT.
