Make Big Strike.

An important vein Of ore was
struck in the shaft of the Web
wood gold mine in which several
we'll known gentlemen in this
city are interested, the first of
the week. The stock is about to
be raised as a result. Samples
Of the ore brought to Duluth
caused something of a furry
among Zenith city mining men.

Thanksgiving Football.

There will be no game of foot
ball in Bemidji Thanksgiving un-
less it will be possible to induce
the Crookston and Grand Rapids
clubs to come to this city. They
would draw. a big crowd and
with favorable weather would no
doubt bring big delegations from
their home towns. Both teams
are fast and an effort will be
made to interest them in coming
to Bemidji.

Hunting Season Half Gone
Many Hunters Go Home
Empty Handed.
CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN GEN
ERALLY UNFAY0RABhE.
Best Hunting of Season Has Been
the Past Few Days OF the
Present Week.

The open season for hunting
big game has been anything but
favorable comparatively speaking
the present year, and parties of
hunters who come from near and
far to hunt deer and moose and
went in early in the season have
begun to come out of the woods
and not few of them are empty
handed. Almost every hunter
who goes into the woods this year
plans to kill a moose, but there
have been less than dozen killed
in Beltrami county since the
hunting season opened if all the
information available may be de
pended upon. The first few days
Of the season were far from be-
ing favorable to hunting. The
woods were dry and it was i'm
possible for the hunter to get
through them without flushing
the game. Since Sundays snow
a large number of deer have been
killed. The game is now deep in
the woods and during snow
storms lies down so that it is
hard to get at. Less venison has
been shipped to Bemidji so far
this season than in any previous
year. It is at present almost i'm
possible to get a piece in town
and this is quite unusual

important matters to come up.

ton concerning the whereabouts
of J. G. Sullivan, the man who so
mysteriously disappeared from
Blackduek last April There is
a question as to whether or not
the state can offer a reward but
if it is possible it will be done.
County Attorney Loud says there
is no doubt that Sullivan was
murdered in or near Blackjack
and he has sufficient information
already to lead him to believe
that if a reward is offered there
may be some information obtain
able that will lead to unraveling
the whole mystery.

bitches in Clearwater County.

At the last session of the board
of county commissioners of Clear
water county, the county en-
gineer vas instructed to lay out
lines and prepare plans and spec
ifcations for two bitches which
will drain Pine Lake and Windsor
townships. That portion Of Clear
water county is at present rather
.swampy but contains the finest
of soil for agricultural purposes
if the water is drained off. The
move is first to be taken by the
officials of that county in drain
age work and residents hope
next year to see a vast amount of
territory improved by the dram
age ways.

roads. Considerable discussion was had
over the new state road district law and
the consensus of opinion seemed to be
in favor of giving it a thorough test;
but fears were entertained that the next
legislature would tamper with it and
make it imperative before its merits
could be thoroughly understood.

ing at Spokane last week is the enter

bills of the last legislature, which were

Yakima county was not the only one
that had a full delegation of commits
sioners, and it will not be the last bene-
fitted by their presence. 1t seems good
idea to start with the city as trunk
and make permanent lines into the
country districts. even if only a short
distance can be completed at a time.
Under the old patchwork proposition,
nothing but temporary benefit could ac-
crue but if mile or two of good road
can be made in a years time under the
new road law, the result will be perma-
nently beneficial.
