ESTATE VALUED AT $4,000
DIVIDED BETWEEN TWO.

Fortune Last Night And Will

George Durham, who has been
employed at various occuptions
in the city for the past three
years, last night received notice
through Attorney H. J. Loud OF
the death of an aunt who lived at
Hull, England, and that in her
last will and testament she had
bequeath all the fortune of which
she possessed to her two neph-

lady lived previous to her death
is the only remaining property
of which she was possesser and
is valued at $25, 900. In addition
to this she has on deposit in an
English bank $4,000 cash. Thus
it will be seen that each Of the
heirs will receive $4,000.

large number of Bemidji people
and has made his home here for
three years. He has many
friends in the city who will be

Governor Lind and Party
Greatly Impressed With
COunty's Resources.
PARTY'S IMPRESSIONS SUMMAR.
lied BY GOVERNOR LIND.
Meeting Held With Business
Mems Club Last Evening to
Discuss Railroad,

A meeting of the Business
Mems Club was held last even
ing to afford the business men of
the city an opportunity to meet
Governor Lind and party and to
confer informally as to the feast
bility of railway into Bemidji
from Nebish and Red Lake.
Governor Lind, Hon. G. A.
Smith and Hon. G. J. Johnson re-
turned last evening from the
trip to Buena Vista, Nebish and
Red Lake where they went to
view the line of the proposed
railroad to this city and to fami-
l;arize themselves with the char
acter of the country. The party
made a very thorough inspec-
tion of the route and travelled
over a great deal Of territory
and at the meeting of the Bust
ness Mems GLIB last evening
Governor Lind spoke at some
length of the character and re-
sources of the country ira
versed.
Governor Lind declared that
the territory tapped by the pro
posed route is the most resource,
full section of the county and
thought that the building of a
road into it would result in de-
veloping trade Of considerable
proportions. He was agreeably
surprised with the wealth of tim
Der and the richness of the soil
and his surprise and satisfaction
was shared by other members
of the party. Mr.. Smith in sup.
plementing the governors re,
marks declared that meyer in his
life had he seen so magnificent a
growth of poplar as in Buena
Vista-Nebish country and that he
believed it was possible for Be
midi to turn it to a most profit
able account.
There was an informal dis
cussion of railway routes and
while no definite proposition
was made either by the company
or by the Business Mems Club
enough was learned TO show
that there is an active POSSIBLE
ity Of securing the road if Be-
midi can secure the right of way
into the city together with ter
minal yards.
The investigation has pro-
crossed to a point where it must
be evident to everybody that the
building Of the road to this city
will do more than any thing else
for the development of the coun-
ty and it is also evident that city
and county must get together in
a united effort if the road is to be
secured. 1t is probable that the
road can be secured if the right
of way and a terminal is furn-
ished, but any attempt to hold
up the company for, big prices
for right of way will inevitably
lose us the road.
Governor Lind and party left
last evening for Minneapolis.

The Railroad Amendment.

The New Orleans Progressive
! Union, aided by nearly every
other public spirited body in Lou
isiana and many prominent men,
has issued a pamphlet on the sub
iect of "Rairoads as State Build
ers," the object being TO direct
the attention of the voters
throughout Louisiana to the con
stitutional amendment excmpting
new railroad construction from
taxation for ten wears. After eX
tcnsive correspondence on this
subject, Secretary Mayo learned
that representative voters in all
parts of the State favored the
amendment but feared that OppO
SitiOn to one Or two of the other
proposed amendments, which are
also to be voted on at the NOvem-
Der election, might exert an I'm
fortunate influence on this as well
us other recognized good changes
III the constitution. In order that
the voter may be thoroughly in
formed as to the merits of this
particular amendment the pam
phlet has been issued by Secreta
ry Mayo and is now being dlstrl-
buted in every parish of the state.
The pamphlet shows ust what
the effect of railroad tax eXeml-
ton was in this State during the
fve-year period ending January |,
1904, and points out that many
railroad projects could not take
advantage of it because of the
limited time IN which the rails had
to be laid. 1t is argued that tho
re enactment of this amendment.
to be operative from January ],
1909, would induce the immediate
constr uction of new lines of rail
road which, in the slower process
of natural development, would I!
most probably not be constructed
for years to come. Then, too, ex.
listing roads would be encouraged
to extend their lines, construct
new branch lines and feeders, and
otherwise OpeE up and develope
now untouched territory. Thus, !
it is argued, the development that
will follow along such lines would
increase the taxable values of the
State very materially; far more
than the possible taxable values
of new railroad construction. In
this way, it is claimed, the State
would really gain in income, and
at the same time pave the way for
future advancement and prospect :
fy, and prepare us to take advan-
Of the opportunities that the com
Dletion of the Panama Canal will
urn our way.
