have been panic in New York which
would have wiped out practically all

WAR DEPARTMENT HANDS
OUT FINDINGS ON BRIDGES
Not Necessary at Present. Reconstruct Bridges Between
Lakes Irving and Bemidji.. River Not Naveable
Above Lake Irving -...:

The war department has rendered
decision in the matter of the navi-
gability of the upper Mississippi
river at Bemidji between Lakes Irv-
ing and Bemidji, and also above
Lake Irving, and the decision prac-
tically decides in the negative the
question as to whether the present
bridges, which span the Mississippi
river. between Lakes Irving and
Bemidji, will have to be replaced by
draw or lift bridges so that the
navigation of large vessels can be
carried on between the two lakes.
w. B. McLachlan made complaint
to the war department that the
bridge interferred with the naviga-
ton of the boat which he has been
running on the waters in this vicin-
ity, and hearing was held on the
matter in this city some time ago.
Major Skunk of St. Paul, who pre-
sided at the hearing, listened to the
complaint of Mr.. McLachlan and
also heard testimony of others who
contended that the river was not
navigable.
Ma jor Skunk made his findings
some time ago and sent them to the
war department.
Mr.. McLachlan says that he has
received a letter from the war depart
ment in which it is stated that

CAPTAIN 0. /, DOGKERY
MAKES OFFICIAL VISIT
Was First Visit of Recruiting Official
Since His Promotion from First
Lieutenant.

Captain O. H. Dockery of Duluth,
chief of the u. S. army recruiting
offices for this district of Minnesota,
made an official visit to Bemidji
yesterday afternoon and remained
in the city late last night, when he
returned to Duluth. Captain Dock
cry accepted three recruits for
service in the army who had been
secured by Lieutenant Eilek, and
administered the oath to them. The
recruits we're Carl Hangard of
Crookston, Russell L. Chico of Be-
midi and w. ]. Ferguson of Fargo,
who we're shipped to Fort Smelling.
This was Captain Dockery's first
trip to Bemidji since his promotion
to the office of captain from that of
lieutenert. The captain recently re-
turned from Leavensworth, Kan,
where he took the examination for
promotion to captaincy. He passed
the examination. very successfully
and was appointed as captain on
December 1, 1907.
In connection with the recruiting
of soldiers for the army the war de-
partment has notified Sergeant Eilek
that hereafter none but ex-members
of the regular army will be accepted
as recruits in the cavalry and some
other parts of the service.
The department also stated that
5000 men were enlisted for services
in the army during the month of
January, 1908, New York alone
recruiting more men during the
month OF January than for all the
time previous since the close of the
Sparish-American war.

The Co. I. basketball team of
Superior defeated the Big Bemidg'
team, last evening, for the second
time, in succession, thereby winning
both games of the series played
here, the score of last nights con-
test being 10 to IS.
The game last evening was very
evenly contested, the accuracy of
Burr, the big center for the visiting
team, in throwing free baskets from
fouls, winning the game for his
five. In the matter of field baskets
each team made three, scoring six
points. Bemidji got but seven points
from free throws, while Co. I made
eleven, four points to the good. Had
the game been free from fouls, the
score would have been a tie.
The visiting team was out to win
by larger score than on Thursday
evening, and the locals were just as
determined that the visitors should
be handed a defeat, with the result
that the game was very fast, and
the over-anxiety of Bemidji probably
cost them the game, as Buchanan,
the Superior referee, was very
prompt in calling fouls.
In the first half, Superior got
seven points from free foul throws,
while Bemidji got but three, and each
side threw two field baskets, the
score, at the end of the half, being
II to 7, in favor of Superior.
In the second half Bemidji played
much better and faster, getting eight
points, and the visitors securing
eight.
Markham threw two sensational
held baskets ana Blddlnger threw
one also that set the crowd wild.
Markham made twelve of the
fifteen points secured for Bemidji,
Biddinger two points, and one point
was a gift from foul. Peterson
played nicely, and Brown, alth ough
knocked out once, pluckily con-
tinued and played star game. Cell
held his man nicely but was not
given the ball as much as he should
have been.
For the visiting team, Burr, the
center, was the especial star. He
threw eleven fouls and one field
