ficiency as Marksman, Sunday Afternoon

A. J. Wosterchill of Cincinnati,
representing the Peters Cart
ridge Company, advertising and
demonstrating the good qualities
of ammunition of this brand,
equally proficient with pistol,
rifle or shot gun, gave a wonder
full exhibition at the fair grounds
Sunday afternoon. of his ability
in handling modern firearms.
Ike Black, the travelling repre-
sentative of the Kelley-How
Hardware company of Duluth,
had prevailed upon Mr.. Woster.
chill to give the exhibition, as his
firm is the general northwestern
distributor of Peters ammuni-
tion.
The expert did some excellent
work with a .30..30 rifle, putting
a soft nose bullet through piece
of / inch STEEL, and threw up
oranges, which, when hit, en-
tirely disappeared in a cloud of
vapor.
With a 1920 calibre rifle, he
threw up pieces of coal, hitting
them while in mid-air, and per-
formed several other feats that
we're simply astounding.
The work which he did with
a .22 rifle was nothing short of
marvellous. He started by throw
ing walnuts in the air and easily
hitting them, then marbles, and
last took several No. 8 shot ian
exceedingly small mark to hit
even when stationery and hit
them squarely while in the air.
He also hit washers in the air,
concluding by hitting an empty

the ply sician can save the finger.

WORK BEING RUSHED ON
THE MISSISSIPPI DAM
Berami Electric Light and Power Co. Putting in Dam and
Tower Plant big Waterwheel Will Be Delivered
July First and the Dynamo in October.

and the work of installing this
preliminary dam is about COM
pleted.
The excavating for the pen
stock and wheelpit and the
foundation for the power house
will begin within the next two
weeks. Before this excavating
can be done, the water must first
I'be pumped from the interior of
the cofferdam, this to be followed
by driving down matched sheet
piling. Then the work Of putting
in foundation of cement and in.
stalling the power house, pen.
stock, and wheelpit can be
rushed to completion.
The big waterwheel which will
be used at the plant is 1,1OO
horsepower and weighs 10000,
lbs. and is being manufactured at
York, Pa. 1t will be delivered in
this city the first of next July,
and will require three cars for
transporting from York to Be-
midi. The electric dynamo to
be used in the plant is 100 horse
power and will be delivered in
October.
Barges are being built on Lake
Bemidji to be used in taking ma.
terial and machinery from this
city across the lake and thence
down the river to the site of the
dam.
A bridge will be built on top of
the dam, and while it will be but
a temporary affair at present, it
is the intention of the power
company to maintain perma-
nent bridge of ample durability
for the use of travellers.
While 1t is expected that Lake
Bemidji will be raised somewhat
by the putting in of the dam,
the lake will always be main
tanned at one level.

The Beltrami Electric Light &
Power company is pushing with
all vigor possible the work of
putting in the big dam and pow.
er house at the rapids in the
Mississippi river five miles east
of Lake Bemldji. for the purpose
of furnishing cheap power for
the operation of the Bemidji
electric light plant and other
manu- featuring industries of this
city.
The Beltrami Electric Light &
Power company is corporation
duly organized under the laws of
the State of Minnesota, and the
company has acquired all flow
age rights along the river from
the lake to the point where the
dam and power house will be in
stalled, besides also securing
right-of way for placing poles
for a wire line from the dam to
this city.
1t is estimated that the power
that can be produced at the dam
will be at least 2,2OO horsepower,
and that the power can be furn.
ished at so low rate that it will
be great aid to the establish
ment in Bemidjl of many more
manufacturing enterprises, be-
sides solving the problem of
cheaper power for the local
electric light plant.
The work at the sight of the
dam ard the power house is pro-
crossing very nicely.
A camp has been established,
which is in charge of W. E. Hazen
of this city, and William Burns
of Minneapolis is overseer of the
men who are performing the
labor.
The dam proper will be 244dd
feet long and 33h feet high. The

sett.
The witnesses against Rosenberg
were David Kuelo. young Hawaiian
who stole a good deal of the stuff and
sold 1t to Rosenberg, and Harry III.
Cheal, property clerk and storekeeper
of the quartermaster. Both identified
some of the property found in Rosen-
berg's place. No more testimony was
put in than was thought necessary to
make out a prima facie case against
Rosenberg The testimony tended TO
show that he knew perfectly well that
the property was stolen and encour-
aged the boys to steal it and when he
saw discovery coming advised Kuelo
to skip out, which he did but was
found at Waimanalo.
