After Beatson's Mine

Next to the Alaska Home Railway and the great Valdez boom, the princi pal topic of interest among the pas- sengers on the Bertha yesterday, was regarding the sale of Beatson's mine. syndicate whose personality was un known, but which the PRospECToR can now announce was one headed by John w. Gates, had an option on the mine until Sept. 7, the price being SS,5OCOO Whether the option had been exercised was not known by Mr. Beatson when the Bertha sailed from the mine, and consequently many aboard were on the qui vlve for reliable news, when the steamer arrived here. As usual there was nothing doing
 From an exceptional authority who left the Beatson mine and was going to Seattle, we learn that for the past few weeks, there have been two gangs of surveyors, with experts, at the mine, sizing 1t up, aud that the representa- tive of one of them informed MT. Beat son that be would guarantee him SlO. OOO,0OO, if the Gates option was not taken up. The general impression there was that this party represented the Guggenheims, but it was entirely wrong, for if the figure of this party is accepted, the owners can be located ait 26 Broadway New York.
 The other parties at the mine. are representing Montana William A. Clark. In any event if any mine in the country is receiving any more free advertising than Beatson and his mine. we would be pleased to learn it's name.

is NAMED COMMISSIONER
OF ITASCA STATE PARK
Ronald C. Arnold, a Resident Of Sebeka,
Will Succeed Colonel BulIard.
Resigned.

Ronald G. Arnold, of Sebeka,
has been appointed commissioner
of the Itasca state park. Martin
Hinzelman, Of Itasca park, was a
candidate for the position, but
was apparently not strong
enough with the "pull" to land
the plum.
The Sebeka Review says of the
new appointee:
"R. G. Arnold, of this place,
received official notice from Gov
ernor Johnson Wednesday that
he had appointed him commits.
sioner of the Itasca State Park.
Mr.. Arnold 8 friends all over the
state will be glad to learn of his
appointment and will congratu.
late him on his success.
"There were several candi-
dates out for appointment, Harry
Lowell, of Wadena, was among
them, and at first it did not look
very encouraging for Mr.. Arnold.
but his friends in this county
and in st. Paul supported him
stoutly and used their influence
with success and Governor John
son took Mr.. Arnold's candidacy
into consideration. He finally
decided that Mr.. Arnold was the
right man and appointed him
park com missioner.
''The citizens of Sebeka gave
Mr.. Arnold their best support
and did their best to see that he
would get the position, and it is
a great recommendation to Mr..
Arnold that his home town
should stand so loyalty by him.
The village will be sorry to lose
him and his family but it will be
quite a good thing for them,
financially. He will take charge
of the park next week and will
hold Office for two years. Col.
Bullard, the retiring park COM
missioner, resigned before his
term expired and will move his
family back to Wadena.

tion of the old board in it's en-
tirety. The election of otficers
resulted in F. p. Sheldon Of
Grand Rapids being elected pres
ident; w. H. Roberts of Bemidji,
vice president; and R. H. Schu-
maker of this city, cashier. Mr..
Sheldon has acted as president
of the bank since the death of G.
W. Hastings last fall.
It IS worthy of note that the
First National Bank of Bemidji
is among the ''roll of honor" ma
tional banks of the United States.
This "roll of honor" includes
only national banks whose sur
plus equals or exceeds their capi-
tai. The Bemidji bank has a
capital of $25, 900 and a surplus
of like amount.

Will Have Fine Home.

3. D. Beeson, the general rep
resentative for the Naugle Pole
& Tie company of Chicago, will
soon occupy a new residence that,
for convenience of arrangement
and excellence of finish, will COM
pare favorably with any home
in Bemidji.
When Mr.. Beeson moved to
Bemidji from Chicago, last sum-
mer, he was unable to secure a
house that suited him for living
purposes, and after vainly trying
to get what he desired, finally
decided to build one that would
be satisfactory. He had plans
drawn by Atwood & Young, and
gave them the contract for erect
ing the building. The dimen.
sions of the new residence are
28x3O feet, two story frame, with
a basement, I4x30 feet. The
basement will hold a hot-air heat
ing plant, which will warm the
home during the cold months of
late fall and winter.
There are five rooms, including
a pantry, on the first floor, and
on the second floor there are four
bedrooms.
j. A. Hoff is doing the painting
and it is expected that the en-
tire building will be completed
and ready for occupancy within
ten days.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
TIED AT GRAND RAPIDS
Deadlock On, Which Can Only Be
Remedied by An Act Of the
Legislature.

u0ou1oCh prevails on the
board of county commissioners
OF ltasca county, and no business
has been transacted by the board;
and it all comes about through
the organization of the new
county of Koochiching, which
was hewn out of Itasca county
and the territory taken from
under the control of the old Itasca
county officials.
When the board assembled for
the purpose of holding the an
nual meeting, there were four
mem bers to constitute the board.
There was no fifth member, as
the Fifth district was the terri
tory which had been set apart
for the new county of Koochi-
ching.
Frank Lang Of international
Falls was elected as Itasca coun-
ty commissioners from that dis
trict at the late election, but he
was also appointed register of
deeds for the new county of
Koochiching when it was organ
lied two weeks ago. According
to Aad A. Tone of Northome.
Lang took the oath of Office and
qualified as com missioner. How
ever, he did not attempt to parti.
cipate ia the Assem- bling of the
board.
1t so happens that there are
two factions on the board, two
being on each side, and neither
faction will give way to tho other,
with the result that it has been
impossible to elect a chairman of
the board or transact any busi-
ness whatever. After ssparring"
for two days, it was agreed to
ad djourn until January. IS, and
Aad A. Toneof Northome, a mem
Der of the board, was in the city
yesterday on his way home from
the meeting at the Rapids"
Mr.. Tone states that about the
only manner in which rellef can
be obtained is by Legislative ac-
tion, and it is proposed to have
a bill passed at the present ses-
sion of the legislature to have
another commissioner (possibly
to be designated as s'at largely
who can sit with the present
four mem bers of the board and
facilitate the transaction of busi-
ness.
