Cut Wages.

Woodmen's wages are on the
decline. In Minneapolis the
logging contractors are offeriag
only s26 to $50 for men. and a
number of firms doing business
in the Duluth district are doing
likewise. The cut from $50 and
s35 which has been paid all the
fall is not yet general for the
reason that the supply of men
will not yet warrant it, but within
the next few weeks a humber of
railroad contract jobs will be com
pleted and there will be plenty of
men for the woods.

Did Themselves Proud.

A good attendance saw the
opening presentation of ''True
Blue at the city opera house
last night which is to be repeat
ed tonight for the benefit of the
Bemidji independent Military
Company. The piece was very
well given, and while 1t was not a
production of the Irving and
Terry stripe it reflected entire
credit upon all who participated.
The Misses Hattie Allen and
Espie McLennan, as Nina Wayne
and Nellie Grover are deserving
of especial mention. Judge
Reynolds, as Pat Riley, a deluded
laishman, who finally turns out
all right never failed to make
them laugh. His makeup was
ininaitable and he was always
pleasing. G. c. Kaufman, as
Jake Schneider, always in the
nick of time, made a hit at his
every appearance. Frank Vests
George Grover was one Of the
best things in the piece. These
characters all center about the
plot of the story. The entire
cast was good and the audience
was well pleased. Pleasing
features of the production were
the tableaus which concluded
every act and a baritone solo,
''Asleep in the Deep, . which was
not down on the progam and was
rendered by Mr.. Brown, of Du

POWERS OF ITASCA COUNTY
SAID TO BE AGREEABLE.
New County Will Be Formed From
Portions of Itasca and Bel.
trami Counties.

Northome people have a bee in
their bonnet at pres ent and its
buzz is about a new county OF
which Northome Will be the
county seat. Ever since the town
OF Northome was started and
that section of the country began
to develop the new county has
been talked of, but the county
seat talk is more rife at present
than it has been for some time.
1t is proposed TO form the new
county from a tier Of townships
to be set of. from Beltrami
scnunty.z ,sbut the greater portion
OF the new county would come
from the northern section of
ltasca county. Northome and
several other new towns have
sprung up in that section and
residents who have business at
the county seat are compelled to
travel a distance of considerably
over hundred miles to reach
the county seat at Grand Rapids.
This is Of course decidedly incon-
venient It is only a question of
time until the new county will be
organized and ! prominent
Northome man who was in the
city today says that the time has
now arrived when it may be eff
fectively sgitated.
1t is said that there will be no
objection to the move from the
residents and powers that be in
Itasca county. They realize the
conditions and are said to be
Agreeable to othe project. North
ONE is held to be the logical
point for the county seat and
people of that section believe
that it's chances of securing it
are better than good as matters
now stand.

We're some people in the town
who didn't think they needed the
new grader, however. They
talked of it by day and dreamed
of it by night until the whole
matter presented to them as a
gross injustice. The result was
some hard feeling and an indig
nation meeting, which was quite
largely attended and at which
the most eloquent spell binders
of the town protested In their
most forcible vein.
Feeling ran high and every
body was busy saying things
about everybody else when the
grader arrived.
The contracts were all made,
however, and there was but little
chance to countermand theorder.

part of the week and the an

would be exhibited in W Working
