AGREEMENT
NOT REACHED
City Council Adjourned With
out Any Business Having
Been Transacted.

The city council meeting last
night. at which it had been ex-
pected that the members would
come to some kind of an agree
ment on the question of who
would be appointed mayor, ended
without any business having
been transacted. Councilman
Hazen stills claims to be entitled
to the chair and occupied it last
night. The minutes of the pre-
vious meeting we're objected to
by Councilmen Graham and Bow
ser on the grounds that Mr..
Hazen had no right to hold the
chair at that time. Mr.. Hazen
was asked by Mr.. Bowser to re-
sign either one Of the positions
he now holds under the city, but
Mr.. Hazen refused to do this, but
said that as soon as the right
man was agreed upon for mayor
he would willingly give up one Of
the positions. E. r. Mcdonald
was suggested by Recorder
Bailey as being a good man for
the position, but Messrs. Bowser
and Graham objected and the
meeting broke up without any
thing having been accomplished.

Persistent Rumors Afloat to
Effect That 500 Will Ex-
tend to Duluth.
THE NARROWS'' AT RED LAKE
HAVE BEEN SOUNDED.
Surveying Crew Working East
ward Line May Cross North
of NOrthOme.

According to reports from the
country north of Bemtlji, there
is every probability that the 500
railway will be built from Thief
River Falls through to Duluth
next summer.
A crew of Is surveyors we're
seen at Red Lake a few days ago
working eastward land it is claim
ed that they have gone into the
swamps in the Big Fork country
north of Northome, where it is
expected that the line, providing
it is constructed, will cross the
M. & I.
'The narrows, a neck of water
which connects the north and
south parts of Red Lake, have
been sounded, and it is thought
that the intention Of the company
is to build a bridge across this
instead of going south of the lake
which it is claimed was the. or
iginal intention Of the com pany.
"The narrows" are only three
quarters of a mile across and
very shallow, the waters averag-
ing only about four feet in depth.
What truth there is in the re-
port is unknown, but the people
of the north country are anxious
ly awaiting developments.

:SCAVENGER
GETS BUSY
Work of Cleaning Up Alleys
and Back Yards Has Be-

AS a result Of the recent notice
of the city health board, the PEG
pie of the city have started the
work of cleaning up back yards
and alleys and IN a short time
Bemidji will present a neat APP
pearance. Many of the property
owners have turned the work of
cleaning up over 10 the city
scavenger, and he has been unus-
ually busy during the past few
days removing ru bbish and haul
ing it out to the dumping
grounds. Unless all back yards
and alleys are cleaned up by
April 20 the city will take charge
of the work and the property
owners will be charged up with
the cost.

RIPPLE WILL BE
NJ. & l. TERMINAL
The Railroad Will Not Be
Built Beyond Big Falls.
Route to Be Changed.

It has long been known that
the Northern Pacific consented
to extend the M. & I. from North
ONE only under the pressure Of
stockholders with pressing inter
ests beyond. It has also been
known that the letting of con-
tracts for building as far as Big
Fork river represented a com
promise. It is now given out
that the present builders have
gone the limit in contemplated
operations the Northern
Pacific or branch concerns will
not push the tracks a rod farther,
when their contract is finished to
Ripple. In other words, if the
promoters of international Falls
want the line continued to that
point from Big Falls, they can
build it themselves.

PLUMBING
That's What the People of
Bemidji Want and Can
Get From Us.

Unto every man. according to
his own. 1t took US five long
years as an apprentice, to learn
the plumbing business, and We
have been working at it and gain
ing experience, for twelve years
more. The plum bing and heat
ing business cannot be learned
oyer night, any more than a good
physician can learn his profess
sion in that length of time Re
cognizing tho great Importance
of sanitary plum bing, in relation
to the public health, the state of
Minnesota, by an act of the Leg
islature, passed a bill demanding
that plumber qualify himself,
and pass an examination, as to
his ability to work at the trade.
We have the certificate, from the
state of Minnesota, which certi-
fies as to our ability to erect and
construct, sanitary, healthful,
plumbing. We do not do all
kinds of plum bing. There is
but one kind Of plumbing, and
that is sanitary plum bing, which
can be done only by a plum Der,
who has learned his trade thor
oughly, and backed it up with
years of experience. Cheap
plum bing is costly an any price,
and you cannot afford to run the
risk. A word to the wiseis suffi-
Gent. The Jerrard Plb. Co.
have thorough, practical men to
give you the very best work that
is possible.

Both Farm and City Property
Increases With Good
Prospects.
OUTLOOK IN BEMlDJI IS VERY
BRIGHT.
For Most Successful Season in
Several Years Money is
Being Invested.

Pleasant weather the past few
days has greatly stimulated the
local demand for Bemidji real
estate, and the dealers report a
fairly active business. Both local
and outside money is finding in
vestment in improved and unim-
proved property, and the present
conditions are entirely in keep.
ing with the prospects outlined
earlier in the year.
The amount of property that
has been changing hands with a
view of improvement this year,
if it we're possible to list it would
form one Of the most important
features of the local situation at
this time of the season. Sales in
this class of property have not
been noted in large sums, but
there has been constant buying
and selling for the purpose of
improvement which will be bet
ter appreciated toward the close
OF the year than at the present
time.
There has been some lively
acreage business with the local
firms who sell farm land and in.
dividuals owning that class of
property, during the past two
weeks. With good spring
weather now a seemingly assur,
ed thing the inquiry for agricul-
tural lands in this and adjoining
counties is expected to show up
stronger than ever.
Building lots are in enormous
demand and people owning i'm
proved property and wishing to
sell are having no difficulty what
ever in closing up deals at very
satisfactory prices. New blood
is flowing into the city with every
train and the number Of well fix
ed men who haYe moved to the
city to make their home from
various points during the past
few weeks has been large.
Down town property is stead
lily advancing in price and many
investments which are not made
matters of newspaper comment
are made by business men of the
city and parties from outside.
