WAS DROWNED WHILE OUT
BOATING At L|TTLEf0RK
Howard Mercer, Who Could Not Swim,
Knocked from Boat to
Watery Grave.

Littlefork, August 14.-(Specia]
to Pioneer. "A sad case of drown.
ing occurred here this morning when
Mr.. Howard Mercer, a resident OF
69-25, lost his life in the rapid
current of the Lit tie Fork river.
Mr.. Mercer, in company with
Clinton Ronish and Louis Peterson,
was in a canoe and on their way to
the blueberry field, short distance
from their homes. ..
While passing down the rapids,
Mr.. Mercer reached forward to
brush aside a large limb and in let
ting 20 of the limb it struck one of
his companions, precipitating all
three into the river. 80.
Clinton Ronish, who knew how to
swim, caught his companion, Louis
Peterson, who was nearest him and
dragged him ashore.
When he returned to get Mr..
Mercer, the unfortunate man had
been carried down stream distance
by the swift current, and he was
unable to reach him before he sank.
At the place where Mercer sank
the water was quite deep and rapid
and the dragging of the river for
some distance failed to locate the
body, which no doubt has foated
down stream.
All efforts, to the present date, to
recover the body have been futile,
though large searching parties have
tried tolocate him.
Deceased leaves a wife and three
daughters to mourn his death. He
was pioneer settler Of the com
munity and highly respected by all
who knew him.

STATE AUDITOR SENDS
LETTER TO co. AUDITORS
Mr.. Iverson Explains Law Governing
Apportionment Of State Road and
Bridge Fund.

St. Paul, MIMI, Aug. Samuel
G.. Iverson, state auditor today
drafted letter to county auditors
which will be sent out tomorrow, on
the subject Of the road and bridge
appropriation of 100000. This
appropriation, which amounts to
$500, 900 for two years, was ruled to
be constitutional by the attorney
general short time ago, and Mr..
Iverson accordingly makes explana-
ton of the law governing the matter,
preparatory to- distributing the first
100000 as apportioned by the
legislature.
Mr.. Iverson writes each auditor as
follows:
Chapter 4O5 Central Laws, 1907,
designates the amounts appropriated
in each of the counties of the state
and determines the manner of its
expenditure.
Section one provides that in all
cases the work shall be performed
under the supervision of the board
of county commissioners. ".= -.
Section two provides that when
the work has been completed the
county commissioners shall so certify
to the state auditor, stating therein
the sum or sums so expended. The
state auditor is then authorized to
draw his warrant in favor of the
county treasurer for the amount due.
The law requires that the money
shall be sent to the county treasurer.
Where the law does not specify
the places or accounts to be expend-
ed, it rests entirely with the county
board to do so. Certain sums may
be apportioned to townships or other
municipalities as their share in the
distribution, but the county board
should exercise supervision of the
work and certify completion thereof
to the state auditor.

The arrangements of the holding
of the second annual fair of the Bel
trami County Agricultural associa-
ton { on Thursday, Friday and Sat-
urday, Sept. 26-27-2s) are about
completed, and there is every indi-
cation that Bemidji will this fall
have the most successful fair in the
history of the north half of the
state.
The committee on finance reports
having secured very tlattering
assurances of support, with several
donations of substantial character,
insuring the payment of very liberal
premiums for exhibits, and also for
purses for the three days race
meet.
At first, it was only intended to
hang purses for races on two days
of the fair, but the assurances of
liberal subscriptions assured the
management that another days
races could be added to the orig
inal program, so that the races on
the program, now, are the following:
September 1880 class trot or
pace, 5000; 2:22 class trot or pace,

RUMORS AS TO SAWMILLS
TAKING TANGIBLE FORM
A. T. Hatcher Purchases Mill Site and Will Erect Box
wood Factory So He Says--.Rumor Connects C. A.
Smith and Others With Prospective Mills.

That Bemidji is the centrally
located city for the erection of saw
mills in the north half of the state.
and is the most desirable place at
which to store the pine that is vet
to be cut in the section north of
Brainerd for manufacture, IS being
manifested more strongly every day,
and since the rates for hauling logs
by rail from the north country to
other portions of the state are being
steadily advanced by the railway
companies, this city becomes the
object of interest to lumbermen gen.
erallv who own pine in this section,
and who are DESTROYS of transform
ing the results of manufacturing the
pine into "coin of the realm"
Of late, there have been many
rumors, several of which are of un-
doubted authentic origin, to the
effect that this city would be chosen
as the place for the erection of at
least two new sawmills Tin addition
to the Bemidji Lumber company's
mill, now being built) and that sites
for the new mills had already been
secured.
One mill, at least, is certainty
and rumor is busy with the real in
tentions of the gentleman who is
interested in this-the mill which it
is claimed by Mr.. A. T. Hatcher
that he is going to build. =
Last Saturday Mr.. Hatcher pur-
chased some very desirable property
on the southeastern arm of Lake
Irving, the land being admirably
located for the operation of a saw
mill. The property abuts on the
lake shore. The M. & I. railway
intersects portion of it, and it is,
in every particular, splendid mill
site.
One story in connection with Mr..
Hatcher's purchase of the property
is to the effect that c.. A. Smith, the
Minneapolis lumberman, who has
large holdings of standing timber
adjacent to Bemidji, will eventually
own the land purchased by Mr..
Hatcher and will at once begin. the
erection of mill on the property
for the purpose of saving his pine.
Another rumor credits Mr.,
Hatcher with having purchased the
the mill site for the Crookston Lum.
Der company, and that the com.
pany's mill which is now located at
Crookston will be moved here and
erected on the land purchased by
Mr.. Hatcher.
Concerning the purchase of the

land and his intentions in connect
ion Herewith, Mr.. Hatcher says:
/ shall erect mill for the pur-
pose of saving timber-in fact, a
lockwood factory. My plans are, as
yet, not fully decided upon, but
when the matter has been fully
determined, the fullest publicity will
be given. However, there will be a
mill, and it will be erected immedi-
ately."
There are other rumors concern
ing prospective new mills, one being
to the effect that the Grand Forks
Lumber company will move it's big
mill at East Grand Forks to Bemidii.
The low stage of the water in the
Red Lake river at the Forks" and
Crookston, which is making driving
logs to the mill a difficult matter,
taken together with the high rates
that will shortly be in vogue for
hauling logs, would lend some color
to the rumor. -.,-
The following article taken from
the Crookston Journal, illustrates
the difficulty of getting logs to the
Crookston and Grand Forks mills:
If the present stage of Red Lake
River is not improved before long,
the big sawmill of the Crookston
Lumber Co., and the mill of the
Grand Forks Lumber Co., at East
Grand Forks will have to depend on
shipment of logs by rail to greater
extent than they have for years past.
River Boss Pat Sullivan passed thru
the city yesterday enroute to Crooks
Rapids about 2 miles above Red
Lake Falls with an additional crew
of men to assist in bringing down a
drive of 100000 logs.
He says the river there is at a
lower stage than has been seen for
years at this season, and it is lower
here than for number of years.
In view of the fact that there have
been copious rains all summer, it is
hard to discover why the water is so
low.
The existing conditions make the
progress of the drive very slow, and
it will be a bout three weeks before
the drive will reach Crookston, and
several more before it will reach
Grand Forks unless there should be
some very heavy rains which are not
expected. Unless the stage of water
is higher than at the present time,
this will be the last big drive that
will be brought, down the Red Lake
River this year, tho there are millions
of logs to be driven down should the
river be in better shape later"

The CENTRAL MINNESOTA
M|LLERS MET IN BEM|DJI
Good Attendance Of Flour-Makers. :.
Their Coming Was Not Generally
Known Here.

The members of the Central Min
nesota Miller's association together
with number of invited friends
from North Dakota are holding their
annual summer outing here
and will remain for several days,
enjoying the summer advantages
Bemidji can furnish her guests.
A business session was held at
the Markham hotel yesterday, at
which the delegates and visiting
millers discussed many matters of
importance to them.
The association usually meets at
Minneapolis, but their many bust
ness interests in this section of the
country, together with the natural
advantages to be had here for an
outing, led them to choose Bemidji
as their point Of meeting.
The society is composed of mil
lers in the northern part of the
state, with Duluth as an east line
boundary, the main line of the
Northern Pacific railroad as south
line, and as far west as Fosston.
At this meeting they discussed
railroad rates and the new legis-
lation governing same. A move
ment is on foot with the railroad to
raise the minimum weight of car
lots from $4,000 pounds to 10000
This the millers oppose.
The general agents and Transport
tation agents of several lines of
road met with them yesterday.
The out-of-town guests were as
follows:
Frank Fairchild, Gen ACT. Mu-
tual Transit Co., Charles Robinson,
Trav. Fri. Agt., Mutual Transit Co.,
