Mime Workers Adjourn.

The sixth annual convention Of the
United Mine Workers Of America, which
began Monday morning last, came TO q
close this afternoon. Birmingham was
selected as the next place for the meet
ing, the date being fixed on the second
Monday in June. At today's session the
salaries of the President, Vice President,
Secretary Treasurer, District Board mem
beers and auditors were advanced, the
President getting raise Of from ss5 to
sl00 per month.
There was much discussion of the mat
ter Of having delegates to the next con-
ventiou in June instructed by the locals
to vote and work for fiat scale instead
of on a sliding basis as now prevails. 1t
set forth that the low conditions Of the
iron market made It unwise to ask for q
dat basis and therefore 1t will be defer
red until conditions are more profitable.
An assessment Of 80 cents per man per
month until July was fixed by the con-
vention. the object being to maintain a
defense fund There are three strikes
now being maintained and there Is need
for a steady assessment 80 II Is claimed.
In levying the assessment a strong fight
was precipitated.
During the argument as to the defense
fund there was mention made that there
is probability Of serious contention be-
tween operators and miners this coming
summer when the present contract exc
pires. The initiation fee into locals OF
the miners was increased from IS to SO.

GOOD LOCATION
Land Donated For State Encamp'
ment Is Ideal For The
Purpose.


The whole town is more than
pleased at the action taken at
the meeting Monday night rela-
tive to getting the state G. a. T..
encampment located in Bemidjl
next wear. The action of w. f..
Street and those owning land
with him in the vicinity of
Diamond Point, in donating a
plot Of ground to the use OF the
|G. A. r. during encampment
week, has found hearty apprecla
tion with the citizens. A better
|piece-of ground for the purpose
could not be found in the state.
It is in close proximity TO the
lake and it's natural advantages
make it an ideal spot for such a
camp. Head officers OF the g.
"a. r. and Gov. Van SAINT them
selves selected the camping1site,
and were highly pleased with
the location.

ported from Pekin that Prince Ching,

attracted considerable attention and
it was credited in some quarters. but
1t is proper to say that the United

dent that Russia had acted In good
faith in furnishing assurance that she
would interpose no objection to the

Petition Being Circulated to
Find Sentiment Of the
People.
COMPANY WOULD BE PLACED
ON RESERVE LIST.
Some Are in Favor of Forming an
Independent Organ.
izati0n.

A petition is now being Cir
culated to find the sentiment Of
the people Of Bemidj regarding
the forming of a militia company
here. An application for state
militia for the town has been in
for the past three years, but no
good has resulted from it..
Crookston and other towns IN
the state have been given state
militias since Bemidji made ap-
plication for one, in spite of the
fact that we are more favorably
situated to be the home of a body
of the guard than the other
towns, being located in the vicin-
ity of three Indian reservations
where trouble is at any time
liable to occur.
When Gov. Van SAINT was here
recently he was approached on
the subject and promised to do
what he could for Bemidji in the
matter of a militia company, but
said that there was little hope of
doing more than putting the
local organization, if formed, on
the reserve list. This would be
desirable, for at the first open
ing the company would be made
a egular member Of the state
guard. A reserve company has
to furnish it's own uniforms, but
the state provides arms and
ammunition. Many are in favor
of forming an independent COM
pany, which would also be sup
piled with arms and ammunition
by the state. It's claimed that
this would be even better than
being put on the reserve. The
regulation fatigue uniform could
be secured at small cost and the
dress uniform be purchased
later.
There is plenty Of good material
in Bemidji to form a first class
company, which calls for fifty
men. Several of those who
have signed their names as be-
ing ready to join are old militia
men, and some have served in
the regular army.

MIR. Hannafin Builds Two Offices
on His Newly Acquired
Property.

Senator Swedback now has a
crew of men at work remodeling
the old court house at the corner
of -Beltrami avenue and Fourth
street for Office purposes. The
whole will be given a brick We
neer and the inside will be hand
somely finished in attractive
woods. When complete it will
make roony building, with
space for two stores below and
several offices. There will be no
difficulty in renting the struc-
ture.
Another new building improve
ment is being made by Mr.. Han
natn on his new y acquired prop
erty at the corner OF Beltraml
avenue and Third street. The
old wooden building on the rear
of the restaurant is being remod-
eled into an Office building, and
besides this a small addition is
being constructed, which will be
an office, making two new Of
fees. Both will be OF wood.
This improvement will add
greatly to the appearance OF the
block. Brick used in place OF
the boards, however, following
out the ordinance relative to put
ing up buildings in the fire linn
it's, would make the Improvement
all the more noticeable.
