COURT SITS
SEPT 20
Wheels of Justice Will Com
mence Their Usual Grind
on That Date.
MANY CASES ON CALENDAR AND
TERM WILL BE LONG.
Criminal Calendar Larger Than
Usual-FOur Being Held On
Murder Charges.

The September term of dis
trict court Will~convene Sept. 20,
Judge Spooner presiding, and it
promises to be one of the most
important terms ever held in
Beltrami county. The calendar
is larger than heretofore, and,
although it is not yet complete,
twenty six civil actions have been
fled with Clerk of Court Rhoda
for trial and twenty-five prison
ers are confined in the county
jail awaiting the action Of the
grand jury. Four Of the prison
ere are being held upon murder
charges, but of course it is
doubtful at the present whether
all of them will be indicted by
that body.
No business will be transacted
by the court on the first day Of
sitting, and the grand jurors who
live in districts away from Be
midi will not be compelled to be
present upon the above mentioned
date. The reason for this is that
Sept. 20 is also primary election
day, and by adjourning until
Sept. Fl the court will allow them
to vote at the election.

CUT THEM OUT
Vigorous Effort Being Made To
Put an End to Sunday
Excursions.

Fewer excursions we're run
into Bemidji the past summer
than any season during the
history of the city. This was
partly due to the fact that the
summer has been a cold one and
partly to the fact that the rail
roads are doing everything in
their power to discourage Sun
day excursions.
Religious sentiment is not
primarily responsible for this
movement. The number of
wrecks to trains running on spec
ial schedules is supposed to be
the chief reason why some of the
managers are opposed to running
these special Sunday excursion
trains. A wreck might cost the
company more than the profits
on a whole seasons Sunday ex-
cursiOn.
The trains usually run at a
high speed, making but few
stops between terminal points.
The cars are thronged with men,
women and children, and when a
wreck occurs the consequences
are likel y to be disastrous.
The matter is now being con-
sidered by the Western Passen-
ger Association.

Arrangements have been com
pleted for a series of evangelical
services at the Presbyterian
church in this city to commence

cond ucted by the pastor, Rev. J..
r. Mcleod assisted by Rev. J. r..
Platt as evangelist. Mr.. Platt is

School of Albany, New York, and
has the reputation of being an
earnest and eloquent speaker.
He will hold evangelistic services
at various points in northern
Minnesotaincluding Fergus Falls
and Crookston and will probably
go from here to Blackjack. Be
midi however, will be the first
point to which Mr.. Platt will
come.

NEW WHEAT.
First of the Year Shipped Sat.
urday From Duluth-2O,OOO
Bushels.

The first new wheat to be
shipped from the head of the
lakes was loaded out from the
Terminal elevator system Satur-
day. The consignment consist
ed of 10000 bushels and was tax
en- by the Western Transit liner,
Duluth.
Grain receipts at the head of
the lakes are showing much i'm
provement. Two hundred cars
of all kinds of grain were report.
ed Saturday at the office of the
secretary of the Duluth board of
trade. The increased volume of
grain at this time is mainly of
barley.
The No. 4 grade of wheat
which has been established by
the board of appeals meets, with
much approval among grain,
men. It comes in between No. 3
and rejected and is of special i'm
portance on this wheat crop.
Rejected may mean almost any
kind Of grade wheat, but, when
it's graded No. 4, the grain men
know pretty near what it is.
Grain of the No. 4 grade is sold
by sample. The new grade fits
in well with the present crop.

expected to arrive to take charge
some time this week or the first

and became convinced that Be-

natural point for a good town and
there can be no better town be-

We are confident that the point
will be good one for an elevator

The articles of incorporation
of the company were published

the date set for the beginning

The company has an advan-

The elevator has a capacity of
10000 bushels while the mann

represent a considerable invest

be ready to run when the com.

FOR FIVE
THOUSAND
Bemidji Big Distributing
Point For Men In
the Woods.
MEN BEGINNING TO COME BACK
FOR THE WINTER.
Employment Agencies Have
Orders for Over 1000 Men
At Present.

Bemidji is the big distributing
point Of northern Minnesota for
the lumberjack. It is to Be
midi that he comes when he gets
himself ready for the winters
work. Here he knows he can
put himself Immediately in
touch with the loggers and from
Bemidji he can secure employ
ment any day that he wants it.
So it is toward Bemidji that he
sets his face every fall. Some Of
him when he gets here are
anxious to get to the camps and
he is speedily packed south, east
or north as the case may be, by
the employment agencies; others
Of him are set upon a week Of
play and he lays about the town
looking for such diversion as the
hour may bring forth.
The boys are already beginning
to arrive in knots of six and seven
but those who are now arriving do
not remain long in Bemidji, their
services being anxiously sought
for by the loggers who are build
ing camps preparing for the sea-
sons cut. Fully five thousand
men astyear made Bemidji their
objective point and this year
there will be more as logging will
be carried on on the reservation
more extensively this winter.
The work Of getting the camps
ready is being pushed as fast as
men can be obtained. The men
are still comparatively scarce,
however, and the agencies in the
city now have orders for nearly
a thousand men which they are
for the most part unable to fill.

TOUGH ON
CANDIDATES
Candidates for Office Are Not
Sleeping on a Bed of
Roses These Nights.
PRIMARY LAW MAKES THEM
WORK OVER TINE.
Only a Week Remaining Before
The Nominations
Are Made.

Primary Election Day is next
week Tuesday, September 90
On that day the republicans OF
Beltrami county will name their
candidates. The law supposes
that the democrats and the popu.
lists will do likewise, but they
won't because either they do not
want the office or there are no
democrats and populists in Bel.
trami county.
Arrangements for the election
which would more properly be
called a nomination, are nearly
complete. The official ballots
are now being printed and on
Thursday the proper officials
will call at County Auditor Syl-
westerns office and receive their
quota. Under the amended law,
those who are too far away will
receive Their ballots by mail.
This feature Of the law will save
Beltrami county hundreds of
dollars many of the precincts be-
ing very remote.
The different candidates are
now working harder than ever
making themselves known the
voter. It is far more difficult tc
pick the winner in a primary
election than in the general cleo.
ton, because the fight in a prim
airy is simply between persons
as against a contest between
parties in a regular election
Many Of the voters do not know
up to the last moment for whom
they will vote and where the can
vass is active the voters usually
try to escape hitting them.
selves. The primary two years
ago demonstrated that those who
were most confident were some,
times most badly beaten.
The contest in Beltrami coun
ty is a good natured one and
there will not be many sore
spots after it is over. In Clear
water county candidates are sc
numerous that it is almost i'm.
possible to tell anything about
what will happen next Tuesday
In Cass county on the other
hand there are not more than
two contests In Polk county a
number of populists have sud.
denly been converted to republi.
canism and mbued with the be-
lief that it is necessary for them
to hold Office that the country
may be saved, and it is reported
that the situation is causing the
republicans some uneasiuess.
Other counties are having similar
experiences and some freakisE
things are due to happen next
Tuesday.

Track Gang to be Increased

Following custom that has been
in vogue for number of years, the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany in November last cut down the
force employed in the maintenance
of tracks. This has been done at the
beginning of winter for two reasons,
first because less progress can be made
by trackmen in winter than in mild
weather, and secondly because the
company endeavors to cut down ex-
penses in all departments toward the
close of the year. The heavy freight
traffic of the past few years has worn
heavily upon the tracks and as a
consequence spreading of rails have
grown common. The tracks in many
places are in bad condition. 1t has
therefore been decided to increase the
track force at once. A greater num-
Der of men will be engaged for track
gangs during the coming month. Dur
ing the coming spring and summer a
greater number of men may be en-
ployed than usual.
