The annual convention of the
state liquor dealers opens in Be
midi Tuesday Of next week and
$50 delegates from vai,i ous=seez
tons of the state and many other
visitors are expected to spend
three days in Bemidji.
Besides the liquor dealers,
most of the wholesale liquor
houses will have representatives
here, besides dealers in bar sup
plies Of all sorts and many who
will visit the convention for vari.
Gus reasons.
There will be business sessions
every day of the convention but
the local committee has made ar
engagements to see that Bemidji
shall be seen in all the glory Of
June to the Disadvantage posi-
BILE by the visitors. There will
-bs- excursions on the lake, drives
about the city social sessions Of
all sorts and the convention s
social festivities will be CON
cluded with a grand ball at the
City opera house.
About 80 delegates are ex-
pected. The fact that excursion
trains could not be secured will
no doubt cut the attendance
down somewhat but there will be
a good crowd nevertheless.
The streets and business
houses are being decorated for the
convention today and all the local
liquor dealers will make a special
effort to recognize the occasion
and extend to the visitors a hos
pitable welcome.

Citizens Of During to Organize
For Systematic Search Of
Country Surrounding

The whereabouts Of n. @. Dahl
and his daughter, Miss Aagot
Dahl, who are missing from their
homestead near Curing post.
office, is still a mystery, despite
the fact that very diligent
search Of the surrounding coun.
try has been made and every
clue that might lead to their dis.
covery dead or alive has been fol-
lowed to the end.
The case is one of the strang-
est that has ever come to the at
tention of the public in this sec
ton. At first foul play was
feared, but there is absolutely no
clue to base specific charges
against anyone and no suspicious
circumstances to connect anyone
with the matter in any way be-
4 yond the fact that Dahl was be-
llieved to have large sum OF
money on his person. Ii the
J. pair we're murdered there is not
the faintest clue about the prem
Uses to warrant the belief. There
4 are no marks of struggle, the
interior Of the cabin in which
4 they made their home was found
in almost perfect order and the
widest suspicion is unable to
connect anyone with the disap-
pearance with any degree Of rea-
. son. Relatives Of the missing
pair have communicated with
every place where they might
have gone, but nothing has been
I developed and the deepest
mystery surrounds the whole
| affair.
I The citizens in the vicinity O
J, During are much exercised over
J, the case and Monday every avail
, able man in the neighborhooC
i will be engaged ina systematic
search of the entire country il
3 that vicinity in an effort to dis
cover some clue that will lead VI
{ to solution Of the strange dis
5 appearance.
8 Many believe that both were
. enticed from the cabin on som,
4 pretext, murdered and the bodies
t buried in some remote place il
{ the woods. About two months
5 have elapsed since they were las
seen alive and there has beer
y plenty of time for the elements
j to efface any trace of a grave
!, made in the woods.
There are no lakes or streams
y in that vicinity that they would
cross in going anywhere and the
! Theory that they may have beer
! drowned in some manner is very
unsatisfactory.
The case battles all efforts al
unrayeling so far and inyestiga
ton only surrounds itWith more
impenetrable- mystery.

Foundation for Boilers Placed On
Lake Bottom to Prevent
Repetition of Accident.
,---.s '.g-4f7-''',,--'
=

The first fires to be built under
the boilers Of the big mill Of the
-CrookstonL um Der company since
the strange sinking of the boilers
more than a month ago
were kindled last night and a
slight smoke curling from the
tall smokestack was welcome
sight this morning. Saving will
begin not later than Wednesday
and possibly by Tuesday.
1t is three weeks yesterday
noon since the boilers at the mall
suddenly settled some fourteen
inches necessitating the closing
down Of the mill, the taking out.
Of the foundation and the build
ing Of a new support upon an en-
tirely different plan. June 10Th
was the date set by Sup't.
George Murch for the compile
ton Of the work and the starting
Of the mill again and the result
shows thathe figured very accur7
ately.
just what caused the boilers
to sink is still a mystery but
Sup't Murch believes that posi-
bly, the high water is to blame.
For the Foundation piles We're
first driven into the lake and
upon these piles rested a heavy
timber crowned by extra heavy
planking. Above the plankingg
was ten inch layer Of cement,
above that tWenty-four inches OF
sand, then solid brick floor.
twenty eight inches above which
were the fire CRATES. The in:
tense heat penetrated through
each Of the these layers and
turned the sill resting on the
sling to charcoal. Owing to the
high water this year there was
no. air space under the sill which
perhaps accounts for the char
ring Of the sill, there being NJ
way for the heat to escape.
A repetition Of the accident
will be impossible as a wall ha'
been built in the lake around tn
boilers, and sand pumped in s.
that the foundation for the boil
Il ers now rests on the bottom o
the lake and unless the crust o
the earth gives way the boilers
are fixed for all time.
When the accident first oc
Cured it was feared that the
mill would be closed for siS
weeks OF two months and it is
only owing to the yigor and per
sistence with which Sup t
Murch has pushed the work that
so much time has been saved
