Body Discovered Near Little
Fork May Be That Of Man
Missed at Blackjack.
BLACKDUCD PEOPLE INCLINE
TO THIS SOLUTION.
Remains at First Believed to Be
Those Of Colored Trapper on
the Little Fork.

The remains of the man dis
covered in the woods up the Little
Fork river about two weeks ago
by trapp7r may be those Of j.
G. Sullivan, whose mysterious
disappearance from Blackduck
has never been satisfactorily set
tied. -
About three weeks ago a trap
per going through the woods
came onto some human bones and
reported at Little Fork that the
body was no doubt that Of Jene
Cain, who was missed from his
cabin on the Little Fork river.
The man who made the dis
covery reported finding a human
jaw bone and par of shoes with
the bones Of human feet in them.
The spot where they we're found
is near the trail to the Big Fork
country and at Blackduck at
present it is believed as probable
that the find may be a solution to
the disappearance Of Sullivan.
Cain, the trapper who is miss
ing, is colored man, but tits be-
ieved that he went out of the
woods to the iron range lumber
camps early in the winter.
There is no way at present to
discover whether OF not the bones
were those of a colored or white
man, but it is said the shoes
found tally almost according to
the best information available
with those worn by Sullivan on

Company for II.

j. r. Wooding, the man that
was robbed on one OF the lncom-

Logging ContractorsJubiIant
Oyer Prospect For Big
Seasons Work
MORELOGSLANDEDATlP PRESENT
THAN FOR SEVERAL SEASONS.
Every Contractor in the Woods
Will Come Out in Good
Shape Next Spring.

The winter of 1903-,O4 is fast
going on record as one of the
most favorable to the logging in
dustry which has ever been wit
messed in northern Minnesota
and it is said that more logs have
been landed by the contractors
up to the present time, all things
proportionately considered, than
for ten years past.
The logging operations in this
section have not been as extern
sive this season as for several
seasons past, but a more favor
able winte~ could not be desired
than the present one. There was
some complaint early in the sea-
son because snow covered the
ground and kept the swan ps and
lakes from freezing sufficiently
hard to permit Of hauling, but
this obstacle has been more than
overcome during the past few
weeks with the ideal logging
weather which has prevailed.
From the Solway district come
reports to the effect that a third
of the winters cut is landed and
another third is on the skids with
two good months before the con-
tractor to do the rest. hammers
Bros. at Northome and the
camps Of the Blakeley & Farley
company and those along the
towns on the north line report
equally favorable progress.
All the contractors who visit.
this city tell the same story OF
favorable conditions and a win
ter's work well in hand, Men
are quite plentiful and most Of
the contractors have been for
tunate III securing crews who are
staying in the woods and do not
subject them to inconvenience by
periodical designations.
A we'll known lumberman IN
the city this morning stated to
the Pioneer that the contractor
who did not clean up a nice little
bunch Of money this winter
should go out Of the woods as the
man who cannot make it sue
cess this winter is not a lumbe.rr5
man in any sense of the word.
There will be a good stage OF
water in all the streams with the
opening of spring also as the
snow is deep and this will enable
the drives to move with much
better progress than ordinarily.

A. II. Wheelock Will Under
take to Finance the
Venture.
THOROUGHLY MODERN PLAY
HOUSE is PROPOSED.
CITY Has OutgroWn Present Ac-
commodations and New Play
House a Necessity.

II a proposition which A. Z
Wheelock will shortly submit to
the business people OF Bemidjl
!. meets with the encouragement
before another year Bemidji will
have a new opera house, which
will be one of the most modern
and thoroughly equipped IN this
section Of the state.
Bemidji has outgrown it's pres
ent play house facilities and de-
mands at the present time ali
opera house which will be the
equal Of anything in this section.
Plans for the new house are be-
ing prepared and will be ready
for submission in short time.
1t will have a convenient down
town location and will be de
signed to meet the req uirements
of the city in this line for some
years to come.
In case Mr.. Wheelock does not
find il desirable in the next few
weeks to undertake the matter
himself be will make an effort to
organize a stock company to
build the house. He is prepared
to show with figures at the pres
emit time that the inves tment can
be made to pay liberal interest
and stands, he says, in a realiza-
ton Of the fact that it is but a
question Of months until someone
will undertake to. build a house
so he has decided to Undertake
the matter himself. TO this end
he is having plans prepared at
present.
Bemidji can play the same com
panies to a satisfactory and pay
ing business that are at present
playing Duluth, Grand Forks
and Crookston. The present
stage facilities will permit Of only
an Indifferent performance Of a
really good attraction and the
patronage of the house from the
better class of theatre goers is
curtailed as a natural result.
Letters from eastern booking
agencies who are securing time
for the best attractions are con-
stantly being received at the local
house. Several Of the Carpenter
attractions, including "For Her
Sake, "When We We're Twenty
one" and others that have had a
successful three years eastern
run, would play Bemidji next
year and get the money the
stage facilities would permit. At
the present city hall such pro.
duction is impossible.
Mr.. Wheelock is on record
with the statement that he will
get busy at once talking the mat
ter up and if everything turns
out as we'll as he has reason to
believe it will at present, the sea-
son of O4-'O5 will be opened in
a new opera house that will be
entirely adequate to meet pres
ent demands.

NEW WAY TO COLLECT DEBTS
Canadian Grocers' Association Has q
System Which Is Said to
Work Well.

According to Consul General
Holloway at Halifax, the retail
grOcers' associations are general
ly adopting a plan for collecting
bad debts that is said to have
worked well at Hamilton, Ontario.
The first step taken is request
from the grocer for payment, with
hint that if not paid the account
will be handed over to the aSsO-
citation and all its members made
acquainted with the fact. The
next step is letter from the see
rotary of the association stating
that the account has been handed
over and that if not paid by GER
tain date the matter will be re-
ported to the members, after
which the debtor would be unable
to get further credit. If the fore
going is ineffective suit is threat
ened. Should the debtor still neg
lect payment, a letter is written to
his employer, stating that all legit.
innate means have been taken to
collect the debt, and as a last re
sort the matter is reported to him
in the hope that he will use his in
fluence to effect a settlement. This
plan is said to work well, especial
ly when the association has a
large membership and includes
the principal grOcers of the com.
munity.
