DAM OPERATOR
PAYS A FINE
Louis Berg Of Park Rapids
Assessed SIS for Violation
of Fish Laws.

A. G.. Rutledge returned yes
terday evening from a trip to
Park Rapids and Akeley. While
away, he visited the dam on the
Grow Wing river, IS miles from
Park Rapids, in which Louis
Berg was ordered to construct a
fishway, and ascertained that
Berg had failed to take any notice
of the order issued to him. Rut-
ledge went to Akeley, where he
swore out warrant for the ar.
rest Of Berg for noncompliance
with the order to construct the
fsLway. Berg was taken before
Justice Estby, at Akeley, where
after considerable 'sparring"
with the warden. he plead guilty
and paid a fine of SIS, and COSTS
He was also subjected to@anss orr
der from the court, holding him
liable to contempt if he'sdid not
begin construction Of the fshWay
within FIVE days. Berg at once
got busy and has let a contract
for the fishway. The Weyer-
haeuser syndicate also owns a
dam on the Grow Wing, at the
mouth of first lake, close to the
southern boundary Of Hubbard
county, in which there is no fish
way. Notice will be served on
this company to put in fshway
at once, which, when completed,
with the Berg fishway, will give
free passage for fish the entire
length of the Grow Wing river
and the chain of lakes through
which the river flows. Much
credit is due the game and fish
com mission for their prompt ac-
tion in this matter.

NO HOPE OF
RECOVERY
John Mccall, Former Great
Northern Conductor, in
Critical Condition.

Word comes from the insane
hospital at st. Peter that John
Mccall, who is we'll known in
every station on the Great North
ern system from Bemidji to Sauk
Center, is in a critical condition,
and that there is absolutely no
hope whateyer for his recovery.
Mccall was for years conductor
on the Bemidji-Sauk Center
branch of the Great Northern,
he was very popular official and
has host of friends. Through
a com bination of circumstances,
and the Vaccinations of zeal
Gus "spotter'' in the employ Of
the company, Mccall was given
an unlimited leave of absence,
almost the same as a discharge.
At about the same time, his son
died. The death of his son and
the loss of his situation weighed
heavily upon Mccall and he wor-
ried exceedingly. Despite the
assurances of many friends that
everything would turn out salts
factorily relative to his position,
the matter weighed heavily upon
him until his mind nearly gave
way. He was taken to the hos
pital at st. Peter, and while he
apparently recovered somewhat,
he eventually relapsed into his
old melancholy condition, and
now is almost a wreck of his
former self.

Mayor Carter Explains Why
Bonds in Sum of $4,000
Should Be Issued.
MANY IMPROVEMENTS IN CITY
ARE NEEDED.
Election for Purpose OF Deciding
Whether to Issue Bonds
Occurs Tuesday.

The question of whether or not
the city Of Bemldji shall issue
bonds in the sum of $25,O0O will
be determined at an election to
be held next Tuesday. Consider
able interest is being shown in
the election throughout the city
and although there has been
much discussion overI the [pro-
posed bond issue 9 sentiment
seems to be almost unanimous
in favor of the proposition.
In order to explain the situa-
tlon to the taxpayers of the city,
Mayor Carter has issued the
following circular, copy of
which has been. sent to each
citizen:
Bemidji, MINI,
Feb. IL, 1906.
Dear Sir:
Your attention is called to the
matter of bond election on Feb
ruary Goth.
AS citizen and taxpayer you
are entitled to know why it is
deemed advisable to issue bonds
in the sum of $25,OO0. We owe a
little more than $4,000 current
Indebtedness, which is drawing
interest at the rate of six per
cent, and if we can pay this off,
with money borrowed at five per
cent, it is purely a good business
proposition.
We must have a sewer system
and other improvements, and we
must have money to do this in
the first place The cost will be
taxed to the abutting property ,as
far as possible, but it will take
three years to get is back, in the
way of taxes, as it is payable one
third each year. This is what is
ment by the proposed issue of
$4,000 bonds for permanent re-
yolvipg fund.
Some of the cost cannot be as
sessed to the property, such as
laying sewers across streets.
avenues and alleys, and out into
the lake, as now proposed, and
this must be paid by the city, and
it is for this purpose that the
$1,000 bond issue for the perma-
nent fund is proposed.
Very respectfully,
A. A. Carter,
Mayor.

THIRTY YEARS
ON ISLAND
Few. Father Nicholl, Roman Catholic
Missionary Who Has Spent Greater
Part Of His Life Among Indians and
Fishermen of Vancouver Island.


Thirty years of his life a mission
airy at work among the Indians and
fisher tribes of Vancouver Islands, is
the record of Rev. Father Nicholi, a
Roman Catholic churchman who was
visitor in Grand Forks last evening.
Father Nicholi is just returning from
the first visit away from his station
IN quarter of century, and stopped
off here on his way to Vancouver
from Quebec. Montreal. Toronto, Chi
cago and other points of interest last
visited by him in the younger DAYS of
his ministry.
In answer to query as TO how
large and of what Importance was
Vancouver Island, Father Nicholi said:
vancouver is a British possession,
is 800 miles in length and approxi-
mately 60 miles in breadth. Its chief
industries are to be found in its fish
cries and its numbering. There are
several hundred Indians and half
breeds engaged in fishing and there
are also canning works for preserv-
ing the same. The island is also the
scene of operations for "a number Of
large saw mills. have been working
ing In the remote Districts" -.
Father Nicholi went through this
country in the early seventies. when
there was nothing to mark the pro-
gress Of the whites but the posts Of
the Hudson Bay company. He was
much pleased with the general ap-
pearance of Grand Forks and re-
marked that 1t was fine little city.
