Ship to Be Chartered Which Will
Be Used for Transporting
COlOniStS.

DR.. Caldwell, the Blackjack
physician, was in the city yester-
day and gave what he claims to be
authentic information regarding
the intentions Of Jabez Hines as
to the establishment OF a colony
at Hines Spur.
Mr.. Caldwell says that it is Mr..
Hines intention to esta blish
colony, but neither negroes nor
Dowieites will be imported. In
stead, families from Europe will
be transported across the Allan
tic ocean in a steamship which
will be chartered especially for
that purpose. and afterwards
taken across the country to Hines
Spur, the site Of Mr.. Hines
operations, where each family
will be allotted a certain amount
of the land upon which to live.
They will be allowed to build
houses, till the ground and make
all the money they can from the
farm, but a certain percentage of
the gross earnings must be paid
to Hines for the use Of the land.
The promoter is at present in
the west, where will confer with
a company which is backing him
in the enterprise, and who are
running a colony upon the same
plan that is outlined above. He
will receive a large amount of
N oney from the company with
which to charter the ship, and ex
poets to make the initial trip in
the near future.
The i'm migrants Willnot befrom
one country only, but will be
taken from every part Of Europe.
At present there are 500 English
peasants who have consented to
settle at Hines Spur, and these
will be the first to arrive.
Where Mr.. Caldwell received
his information concerning the
inten tons Of the mysterious com
pany nobody knows, but heclaims
that the story is reliable.

SCHOOLS CLOSE
TOMORROW
Two Weeks Holiday Vacation
Will Be Given Teachers
and Scholars.

The Bemidji public schools
close tomorrow for two weeks
and will be reopened on Monday,
Jan. 9, giving the teachers and
pupils two week S resti in which
to enjoy the Christmas holidays.
It had been decided to have only
one week vacation, but in view OF
the hard work done since Sep
temb Der by both teachers and pu-
pills it was changed SO as to allow
them two weeks. The schools so
far have been more than ordinar-
lily successful under the direction
of Superintendent Richie, and
the corps of teachers employed
enjoys the confidence Of every
parent who has children in atten.

Contractor Carlson Of New
Railway Says Work Will
Be Pushed.
GRADING WILL CONTINUE UN.
TIL FROST Is TOO DEEP.
Favorable Season Indicates That
Road Will Be Completed Sooner
Than Expected.

Gas long as the present
weather continues" said Con-
tractor Carlson, of the firm of
Halvorson & Carlson, who have
the contract for building the new
Red LAKE railway from Bemidji
to Red Lake, "the work of grad
ing on the line will not let up IN.
til the whole thing is finished.
The frost in the ground at tine
present time does not materially
interfere with our operations,
and until the ground is frozen to
a depth of several feet we will
continue to run the camps now
in operation. We have had but
very little trouble so far in con-
nection with the contract and it
looks now as if it's completion
WILDE accomplished much sooner
than we expected
''The nature Of the country
through which the line runs is
good. Although quite a few
swamps will be crossed we do
not anticipate any trouble from
sink holes, as most of the
swamps in the region traversed
by the road have good bottoms.
In this respect it differs much
from the country through which
the M. & I. was built from Black
duck to Northome, as there many
bad places we're struck and in
one place it was necessary to
almost fill an entire lake with dirt
before piling could be driven and
a bridge built. y
Mr.. Carlson further stated
that the reported purchase Of
the new line by the Great North
ern was without foundation and
the people of Bemidji could feel
assured Of the building of the
road by the original promoters.

handsomely bound book from
Billy Newton containing the car

caused so much comment through
their pu blication in the Minneap

the book will convince anyone
that he has succeeded admirably

House of Spooner Contestant
Destroyed by Fire Last
Sunday Morning.
INCENDIARISM is CHARGED TO
OPPOSING FACTIONS
Investiga ton of Matter Will Fol.
low and Arrests Are Likely
to Be Made.

Incendiarism is charged by
Matt Cannon, the Spooner char
acter who is trying to gain a title
to the Spooner Townsite, in the
burning of his house last Sunday
morning, Cannon himself, and
his family narrowly escaping
the flames.
According to his story, the
family was about toarise on Sun
day morning when the entire
roof Of the cabin was found to be
in flames and before help could
be summoned the building with
all it's contents was entirely de-
stroyed. Cannon went to Crooks
ton, where he spent yesterday
comforting with his attorney in
the contest case, Chas. Loring,
in regard to future course of
action. He is positive that the
house was fired by some of the
TOWNSHIP people and will investi-
gate the matter thoroughly.
Cannon has had peculiarly
hard luck with his venture as a
homesteader upon eighty acres
of the disputed Spooner townsite
and has gained several columns
of newspaper notoriety since
going up to live on the claim.
When moving onto his home
stead he purchased the house
from the former holder and after
making a siderable number
of repairs and alterations lived
quite peacefully and at ease for a
time. Later on he went away on
a short visit and upon his return
found that his residence had
been moved off the claim bodily
and divided into two separate
houses. He took possession of
his property by means of a rifle
and replaced his furniture which
had been removed. From that
time his lot among the Spooner
people has been somewhat siren

Representative for This Dis
trict Declares His Pre-
ference.
SAYS HIS CONSTITUENTS FAVOR
THE JUNIOR SENATOR.
Business Conditions in Red Lake
County Are All That Could
Be Desired.

Representative Simons of Red
Lake Falls, who was in November
reelected as representative for
the 61st representative district
embracing the counties of Red
Lake, Beltrami, and Clearwater,
was in the Bemidj this afternoon
for short time. Mr.. Simons is
extensively interested in banking
in Red Lake county and the adj
joining country, having banks at
Red Lake Falls, Wylie, ST..
Hilaire, Brooks and Plummer.
In reg ard to the election of a
senator to succeed Senator Clapp
Mr.. Simons said: $50 far as I
can discover, the people Of the
district arepractically unanimous
for Clapp. It was understood
during the campaign that I was
for Clapp and I was, and I am
now. I think that the report
that there is opposition to Sena,
tor Clapp in Red Lake county is
erroneous; here and there a man
may perhaps be found who op-
posed the Senator but it is rare
to find such a one."
Mr.. Simons said that the build
ing of the 500 through Red Lake
county and to the boundary line
has opened up some excellent
territory and that business con-
ditions in Red Lake county are
entirely satisfactory. Mr.. Sim
ons has been extensively inter-
ested in banking business in Red
Lake county for some years and
since the coming Of the 500 has
started banks at the new towns
of Brooks and Plummer.

There is much speculation now as to

The Japanese carried on an aggressive

A renewal Of the attack upon PORT
Arthur on newer and more aggressive

that the reduction of that fortress will.

NO INSPIRATION IN PARKER

New York, Sept. 20. Republicans as
well as Democrats are trying to prevent
the result Of polls made in various states
from being made public. The reports to
the Republican committee are so favor
able that Cortelyou fears that if they
were generally known the Republicans
would cease to have any interest in the
campaign. They have very little as it
is. The Democrats have such bad re-
ports that they know if the supporters
Of Parker possessed the same informa
ton they would be ready to give up what
apparently is hopeless task. No com
plete polls are in from any state, but the
fragmentary reports seem to give good
idea Of the political situation. These
show for the Republicans almost over
whelming strength in the doubtful
states which must be carried by Parker
il the Democrats are to win.

LONE DEMOCRAT TO
BE LEGISLATED OUT
Position of Street Commissioner of Ben
ningtOn Will Be Abolished, as Law
Works Wrong Way.

Bennington, Sept. 20--It is announce
ed that at the next session of the legis-
lature a bin viii be introduced to
amend the charter of the village of Ben
nington, by abolishing the office of vii
lage street commissioner, which for the
last three years has been filed by a
Democrat, the only officer Of that polit-
ical faith in town. Up to four years
ago the village street commissioner was
appointed by the village trustees. For
some unknown reason the legislature
changed this, so that the commissioner
should be elected by the popular vote
The change has not worked as it was
intended it should, as a Democrat has
been elected every time since by a good
majority. The plan now is to have
civil engineer appointed by the trustees,
who are all Republicans, he to have full
charge of the streets and highways. and
entirely do away with the present off.
