W. H. Cole Dead.

w. H. Cole, one of the pioneer
residents of Tenstrike, died at his
home last night.
Mr.. Cole lived on the north shore
of Gull lake, across from the village
of Tenstrike. Last Thursday he
crossed the lake to his home. The
weather was very chilly, and he un.
doubtedly caught very severe cold.
Friday morning, G. A, Leopold,
who lives near Mr., Cole, noticed
the old gentleman was not about, so
he went to his cabin to ascertain
the cause. He found Mr.. Cole in
bed, suffering with great pain and
unable to care for himself.
DR.. Osborn of Blackduck was
summoned and did all he could for
the relief of the sick man, but with.
out avail. Mr.. Cole was suffering
with Bright's desease and other
complications, which proved fatal.

Niqht Phone Rates Raised.

Orders we're issued from the Min
neapolis office of the Northwestern
Telephone company yesterday direct
ing all telephone stations within the
state. to charge the regular day rates
for night messages. No explanation
is offered for the change, but accord
ing to good authority the reason is
found in the immense increase of
night toll messages.
Up to the present time night tele-
phone messages have been trans
mitted at one-half the day rate. Of
late, however, it seems that it has
been the custom to use the long dis
tance lines at night, thereby saving
one-half the toll to the subscriber.
AS result of this practise the Bell
Telepone company decided to make
the night rate for the use of long
distance lines the same as are
charged in the. day.
Orders were issued Sept. l by the
Bell company providing that night
rates be issued according to the
same schedule of rates that is charged
during the day, but the order fixing
the night rate the same as the day
on interstate rates is new move on
the part of the telephone company.

was the Northern Farmers aSSoCia-

The good work was continued this

in producing farm products of higher

All kinds of vegetables of commercial

made the best showing. The pota-

pronounced by one of the judges as

WILL CROOkSTON MILL
Be MOVED TO BEM|OJI? I?
Crookston Papers Discuss This Ques.
ton and Say Mill May Be Moved
to Bemidji.

The possibility that the Crookston
lumber company will remove it's saw
mill from Crookston to Bemidji is
causing considerable of a stir among
the residents of Crookston, judging
from the following article taken from
the Crookston Times:
Perhaps the subject of most
general discussion on the streets
here the past few days has been the
announcement by the Crookston
Lumber Company of it's intention to
discontinue it's mill at this point at
the close of the season and pull out
for another field. 1t is understood
that the company believes the
recently established advance in
freight rates on log shipments made
by the Great Northern road, would
not give the maximum of profit from
its capital invested here, as COM
pared with the return from a similar
investment made nearer the base of
timber supply.
While there are various opinions
expressed in street and office discus
sions of the situation, there is large
number Of our citizens who believe
that the company will not discon-
tinue the operation of the mill here
so long as it can get logs to supply
it-and this the company declares it
can do for the next eight or ten
years.
These skeptics assert that the
recent announcement of the company
is made with the purpose Of secur-
ing active assistance from the city
of Crookston in an endeavor to in
fuence the railroad company to re-
duce its rate, or rescind it altogether.
At the present time, it is quite likely
that of those in the city who have
given any thot of any kind to the
subject, a majority are unwilling to
accept the avowed intention of the
company as likely of fulfllment, be-
lieving to put it frankly, that the
company is "bluffing" in order to
get as much backing as possible in
its attempt at rate production,

that the road was short line, run
ming from Red Lake to one and one
half miles east of the Bemi d il bridge.
Before the bridge was constructed
opinion of Mr.. Lind had been asked,
as to whether it was safe to build
bridge similar to the other bridges,
already built.
He had found that the public
highway, crossing the city bridge
was an old state road; that the state
legislature had appropriated money
to aid in the construction of the
bridge, aud also, at the last session
of the legislature, $500 had been
appropriated to renew the present
highway.
Mr.. Lind advised his company not
to put in the bridge, in as much as
in his opinion, the Mississippi at
this point was not navigable, except
for logs or very small boats. He
had noticed that the government is
not taking any action in improving
the water of the Mississippi river,
for navigation purposes.
Mr.. Lind stated that the traffic
on the Red Lake road does not paw
the operating expenses;that the road
cannot put in a bridge; that the
road has not paid one penny on an
investment of one half million dollars.
1t would be necessary, if a draw
bridge was ordered put in, it will be
necessary to abandon the bridge in
connection with the NJ. & I. rail-
way. - ,--~z--~~s.s s@-~--, :
Several other witnesses were ex-
amined, among them A. B. Allen,
owner of the Sentinel, who was
present to give evidence in behalf of
Mr.. McLachlan and who finally
admitted that he knew but little as
to whether the Mississippi was nav
igable or not.
Further proceedings of the investi-
gations will appear in tomorrow's
paper. Hearing adjourned until
afternoon. .
