STIRRING LIFE STORY TOLD

At the regular semi-monthly meeting
of Camp Hardee, U. c. ", held in Cable
hall last Saturday afternoon, the follow
ing resolutions on life of the late en-
rade Judge William r. Houghtop read
and introduced by Capt. William C.
Ward, were unanimously adopted by the
camp and a copy was ordered spread up
on the minutes
The members of Camp Hardee of Con-
federate Veterans desire to place on
record their estimate of the life and
character of their deceased comrade and
fellow soldier, William r. Houghton.
From the time he came to Birmingham
in 1888 from Hayneville, Ala, his former
home his life gave daily evidence of
the existence of the highest type of man.
hood.
When not fully 10 years old, he heard
the bugle call to service from across the
river in Columbus, Ca, sending out the
summons to duty, sounding the note,

to the human heart" and though an
Albanian, he at once Joined the Column

the enemy. True to the fidelity of his ma
ture, though he might have transferred
to an Alabama regiment, he remained
firmly knit to his adopted brethren, the
brave Georgians. Going at first to Fort

his command soon was in the fore front
of the bloodiest conflicts in that blood
drenched land. He was at Yorktown. at
Seven Pines, at Gaines Farm, Malvern
Hill. in all of the fighting of the terrible
seven days Leaving McClellen to escape
from Harrison's Landing, he went with
the brave Georgians to Second Manassas
to meet the braggart Pope whose head
quarters was to be in the saddle and
there was in time to aid Jackson in Sc
curing one of the most crushing defeats
sustained by the enemy during the war.
In this engagement, Comrade Houghton
sustained broken wrist from a gunshot.
This sent him to the rear until the end
of that splendid campaign.
He was with Hood under Longstreet
at Fredericksburg, but held in reserve.
That splendid victory greatly encouraged
the Confederates and discouraged the
enemy, and was victory easily secured
for the south. In February, 1863 we went
under Longstreet to the south of Rich

to whatever point was most exposed. In
April we went to Suffolk where we PLAYED

the changes recorded by the statement

of 1925. 400, while the relation showed a
decrease of s3457.OOO. This discrepancy
can in fact be accounted for by the fact
that the receipts of $2,300, 900 Australian
gold from San Francisco through transfer
counted for only one-third in the average.

SENTENCED TO
COUNTY JAIL
Leonard Blanchard is Pun
ished for Contempt
of Court.

Grand Rapids, March 29,-
Leonard Blanchard, charged
with constructive contempt of
court, was found guilty yester-
day, before Judge McClenahan,
and sentenced to 30 days in the
county jail.
Blanchard was one OF. the
veniremen drawn on the Gardner
murder case. He was examined
as to his fitness to serve and
qualified. Later it developed
that he had expressed opinions
in the case and had argued the
various features of it on many
occasions. It was proven that
he also attended the original
trial. 49,. ...-.
Blanchard is a young, mar
ried man of this city. Much
sympathy was expressed for
him, owing to the fact that his
wife, a young woman, is very ill,
and so is his baby girl.

PLANS ARE
ACCEPTED: E, ]
Sewerage Discussed by Engi-
neers and City Council
at Special Meeting.
COUNCIL APPROVES OF McGIL=
LIYRAY'S OUTLINE.
State Board Of Health May Re-
quire That Aseptic Tank
Be Constructed.

At the special meeting Of the
city council last night, called for
the purpose Of hearing the
opinions of number Of civil
engineers as to the most feasible
manner in which to construct
the proposed sewer system in
Bemidji, the plans drawn by City
Engineer McGillivray of Duluth
several years ago were accepted
and the system will be built &C
cording to these plans. Besides
Mr.. McGillivray, Engineer
Clausen Of st. Paul and County
Surveyor Stoner were present
at the meeting. After discussing
the sewerage question for some
time the engineers agreed upon
the plans drawn by Mr.. McGllliv-
ray, with a few small changes,
and they were Immediately &C.
copied by the council.
One matter which the engineers
explained to the council was that
the State board of health may re-
quire that an aseptic tank be
built in connection with the
sewers. This kind of tank is
designed to filter the sewage
before it enters the lake, but the
engineers presented figures last
night to show that the
amount of filth entering the lake
from the sewer system daily will
be but one-fourth of one per cent
of the amount of water in the lake
and expressed the opinion that
the state board would not
require the. installation of the
tank.
A meeting of the state health
board will be held in St. Paul on
April 10, when committee of
the city council will be in atten-
dance and explain the matter to
the board.

WILL ATTEND
BOTH JOURNEYS
Bemidji Firemen Decided
Last Night to Go to Cass
Lake and Warren.

The regular monthly meeting
OF the Bemidji fire department
was held IN the fremen's
rooms in the city hall last night
and resulted in a decision on the
part of the mem bers of the organ
ization to attend the two tourna-
ments which will be held this
summer at Warren and Cass
Lake, respectively. It was a
question with the fremen up to
the meeting Of the city council
March 20 whether or not they
would have sufficient funds with
which to attend either of the
tournaments, but at that meet
ing of the council the fremen
were given the management OF
the City Opera house, and it is
expected that with what money
they already have in the treasury
together with that which they
derive as a result of the city hall
management they will be enabled
to go both Journeys. Practicing
for these events will begin as
soon as the ground is sufficiently
dry to admit of it, and the de.
partment expects to have the
best team this year that was
ever sent out from the city.

It may be that a supper can be

A number of inquiries have
been received as to whether or
not the persons who are hauling
pulp wood and dumping it off in
the city park have authoritity to
do so. No person has authority
to do this and. if it is true that
this is being done the matter
should be looked after imme-
