sion of Grand Jury.

Matt Cannon, plaintiff in the
contest case against the owners
of the TOWNSHIP of Spooner, has
been in the city several days and
states that he is loaded with evil
that portends no good for some
of Beltrami county's officers if it
be told at the coming session of
the grand jury.
Cannon tells story to the
effect that the recent election
held in the new town was called
by the regularly authorized Off
Gals, but that the houses of i'll
fame, acting on the authority of
one of the county officials, put up
another ticket which was defeat

DAILY PAPER
GOES BUMP
Crookston Journal Proprie.
tors File Petition in
Bankruptcy.

Messrs Crawford & Berkland,
who purchased the Crookston
Daily Journal about two months
ago have filed a petition in bank
ruptcy placing their assets at
$15,1 45 and their liabilities at
$17,28O.3 5. The Journal has been
a losing proposition from the
start. N. S. Gordon purchased
the plant and started daily
about four years ago. In two
and half years he lost about
$4,000. The paper was then
taken over by the stockholders
of the Scandal American Bank OF
Crookston, one of whom is Con.
gresham Halvor Stevenson.
Extensive improvements were
made in the plant and a first
class paper was published for
the fun of which the stockholders
paid some $4,000 out of their
pockets.
The history of the Crookston
Journal proves pretty conclus-
lively that it takes a pretty large
town to maintain more than one
good daily paper.

Public Library Needs the
Active Assistance Of
Every Citizen.
WORKS ACCOMPLISHED BY THE
LADIES OF BEMIDJI.
Musicale Planned for Monday
March q for Benefit of
the Library.

It is a little more than a wear
since the Bemidji Public Library
was founded, yet today the
library contains nearly 1900 vol
umes and enjoys a patronage
from the people of the city which
is steadily increasing.
Yet the library is without any
"visable means of support To
maintain it, to say nothing of the
cost Of new books which must be
added constantly if the library
is to be of service to the city,
costs IN the neighborhood of $500
per year at present. To raise
this money the ladies who are
giving freely of their time for
the city's benefit need and should
have the active cooperation Of
every citizen. The library is of
incalcuable benefit to Bemid lii and
a little thought, a little effort and
a little contribution on the part
of each citizen will make it soon
one of the best libraries in the
state.
Everyone in Bemidii is eligible
to membership in the association
and the membership fee of one
dollar year is the only source of
revenue which the library has.
The library books are free to
every citizen and this privilege
is worth a great deal to the city
and to the Individual citizen, and
every one should be glad to con-
tribute a dollar a year to the sup.
port of so important a public in
stitution.
