One of the first sawmills in the
Big Fork country will soon be in
operation at Ripple. The equip

been purchased and will be
moved to Ripple a. once.
Harry Grove, one of the vel

engagements for the purchase Of
the mill. Several other prom

The mill has a capacity OF

to have it removed to the new 10
cation and ready for business by
the later part of April.
There are several small mills
in the Big Fork country but this

JUDGE MURRAY of Wadena is
announced as candidate for the
republican nomination for the
legislature from the fifty-fourth
Legislative district, comprising
Wadena, Hubbard and Todd
counties. Mr.. Murray announces
his candidacy over his own sigma
ture this week. The Legislative
fights of the recent campaigns in
Wadena county have been more
or less spectacular, but the cam
didacy Of Judge Murray may be
depended upon to harmonic mat
tiers greatly. The Judge is one of
the pioneers of this section of the
state, capable, clean, whole
souled gentleman, who honestly
aspires to represent his district
in the state legislature,is entitled
to the honor and will no doubt
receive it with but slight opposi-
ton. The Minnesota legislature
needs Murray and it is to be re-
GREETED that more men of his
calibre, personality and sterling
integrity do not aspire.

UNJUST TO BEMIDJI.

The gross injustice which a
garbled newspaper story may do
a community is very well illus
trated at present in the notoriety
Bemidji is receiving as the result
of an account published in a
Crookston newspaper regarding
the city having returned to a
wide open policy. The Crooks
ton papers story was a very
transparent effort and bore the
ear marks of an amateur fulmin
alton from the opening to the he
closing line. It has, however,
served to draw the attention of
the newspapers to Bemidji and
the return Of the city to it's old
free and easy waysis being much
discussed. The Roseau Region
for lack of a better subject, per-
haps, rehashes the whole story
and makes some additions to the
original account as it deems meet
and expedient. The Region be-
trays a yellow streak and a sad
lack of mature Judgment when it
makes the unqualified statement
that the business men of Bemidii
are apparently set of fellows
without any decency, and dwells
much on the Sodom like Bemidii
of the present. Bemidji is new
and growing town, the best town
1 in this section Of the country, but
it has been much villified by ire
sponsible publications like the
Roseau Region. For the inform
alton Of all concerned let it be
said that Bemidji is a closed town
and it's code of moral ethics at
present is quite up to the stand
ard of staid Presbyterianlsm
which obtains at Crookston,
Roseau and other towns of this
section who live in the past and
not in the busy present. In all
justice to all concerned and in
view of the unpleasant circum-
stances it is up to the Crookston
Journal to explain away the in
justice it has done to this city
and it's people generally.

RIVER AND HARB0R BILL
NOT TO BE PRESENTED.
Only a Few Surveys at the Present
Session.

Washington, Jan. 22.-The House
Committee on Rivers and Harbors to-
day decided that there should be no
river and harbor appropriation bill at
the present session of Congress, al
though a few surveys may be author
lied.
In explanation of the postponement
of a bill until next session, Chairman
Burton made the following statement:
"The main reason for this action was
the very large balance appropriated
for river and harbor improvements,
which is now lying in the treasury UNI
expended. This balance at the end
of last year was somewhat In excess
of S3S. 900, 900. In addition to this 1t is
expected that $S,7OO,000, or Whereabouts,
will be appropriated at this session
in the sundry civil bill for the contlil-
uance of work Oh rivers ana harbors'
where improvements are progressing
under continuing contracts.
ut is expected that the committee
will present a bill at very early oay
in the next session, certainly not later
than when Congress reconvenes atteI
the holiday recess. In the meantlIhe
some legislation will be recommended
by the committee for the necessaly
maintenance OF existing public WORKS
for such general legislation as may DC
desired, and perhaps also for the eX-

BY THE RAGING RIVERS
TOWNS ARE Threatened.
The Ohio and Its Tributaries De-
stroN Property md Lives.

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. 22.-Midnight.-
Lulled into a sense of security in the
early evening by the rapidity with
which the Allegheny was carrying the
ice and water from the upper stream
into the Ohio, Pittsburg went to sleep
tonight with the belief that the warm
ings of danger from the rivers had
been exaggerated, but at this hour a
new danger has arisen.
The Monongahela has broken loose.
Huge masses of ice, less broken than
that which came rushing down the
sister stream, all day, are choking the
harbor. Both rivers are steadily ris-
ing. The Allegheny is already three
feet higher than her consort stream,
and as consequence, a dangerous ice
gorge is now forming between the
Wabash and Smithfeld street bridges.

rivers
Business men, mill owners, residents
and river men are included in the list
of sufferers. The poor in some of the
low lying sections of the two cities
may be hemmed in their homes until
late Saturday night. Until the waters
subslde it is likely the damage will
continue, for there is ice enough in
both rivers at this time to keep both
the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers
well filled until Sunday morning, and
perhaps later.
Forecaster Ridgeway, in a statement
issued at IL o'clock tonight could give
no hope of a subsistence.
Early in the day, owing to the Wig
orous warning sent out, all of the coal
barges and steamboats, were sent to
the Monongahela river to gain the bet
ter protection.
At midnight the mark showed Is
feet of water in the Allegheny at
Hers Island. ard 25.s feet of water
in the Monongahela at Market street.
There was a daring rescue of Valua-
BILE property on the Monongahela to-
night, when the barges Maine. Ches-
ter and Mississippi broke from their
mornings and swept out into the ice
laden stream. apparently to certain
destruction. The three barges were
loaded with railroad iron. valued at
$780, 900. A distress signal was sound
ed from the Point Bridge, and three
tugs tried to check them. For two
miles down the ice choked river the
