livery clerk, will hereafter receive
5000 per annum, instead of $500, as

bill was referred to the city attorney
for an opinion as to whether the
city charter will permit the council
to pay the salary of the secretary of
of the fire department. The report
of Justice Slocum was read and &C
copied.
The petition of F. A. Mayo and
others for a cement sidewalk on
Fourth street was taken up and the
report of committee read, with the
result that the matter was again re-
ferred to, the committee, with in
structions to report at next meeting.
G. A. fuller appeared before the
council and asked whether the city
had an official dumping ground. He
stated that he had been informed
that there was none, and he believed
that this matter should be looked
after.
|. Mr.. fuller was informed that it
had been the custom to dump on
the grounds controlled by City
Scavenger Freeland, under his direc-
tons.
Mr.. fuller also asked if there was
an authorized place for erecting a
powder house, and was told there
was an ordinance regulating that
matter.
Mayor Pogue called the attention
of the council to the fact that the
city already had title to tract OF
land for an official dumping ground
and suggested that this be used for
all purposes except night soil, and
depooiting dead animals. The chair
appointed Messrs. McCuaig, Smart
and Brinkman as committee to in
vestigate and report relative to the
dumping ground.
The city attorney made "a report
relative to the injunction secured by
E. H. Jerrard in the matter of enter

Beltrami County Soil, Good.

That the soil Of Beltrami county
is Of the best in the state for agri-
cultural purposes has been proven
to the satisfaction Of the outside
world; and now local farmer is
demonstrating that Beltrami county
lands are also especially we'll adapted
to horticultural purposes.
AS proof of this fact, E. E.
Chamberlain, who owns fine farm
on the shores of Carr lake (about
three miles south Of Bemidji) has a
fine field planted with strawberries
that are bearing fruit of the finest
quality and in great abundance.
Mr.. Chamberlain now has one
and one-half acres of his land planted
with strawberry vines, three-fourths
of an acre of which are bearing
fruit this summer.
Mr.. Chamberlain has raised many
bushels of the berries this summer
and local dealers say that the fruit
is by far the best in quality and
size that they have handled this
season..
The plants are the Warfeld &
Crescent variety, and MI. Chamber
lain has them for sale.
The editor of the Pioneer has
eaten the berries and can attest to
their superior quality. ...

Has Narrow Escape
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. 30.--The Cour-
ier-Journal building at Fourth and Green
streets, in which are located the plants OF
the Courier-Journal and Evening Times,
was destroyed by fire early today. The
structure was five stories high and oc-
cupied half block.
The fire started at the top of an ele-
vator shaft, supposedly from defective
insulation of electric wires, and spread
with great rapidity.
The editorial and reportorial forces of
the Courier-Journal stuck to the build
ing in the hope that the blaze would be
subdued and that they could issue the
paper. They were hemmed in by fire and
had to be taken out on ladders
The linotype machines and presses are
located in a reinforced section of the
building and the damage to them was
comparatively slight. The loss is esti-
mated to be about 100000. The machin-
cry, while damaged to some extent by
water, can soon be put in shape, and
1t was stated by Bruce Haldeman, pres
ident of the Courier-Journal company.
this morning that there would be no in
terruption to the business. the other
papers of the city having offered the
Courier-Journal the use of their plants.
The principal damage was done by water.
The Courier-Journal and the Times were
issued from the Herald plant today.
Col. Henry Watterson is the proprietor
of the Courier-Journal
