P16,000,000 when the United States

new CARNEGIE LIBRARY
BUILDING IS ASSURED
Council to Be Asked to Pass ResOIu-
ton in Support of Same. ...City
Park an Ideal Site. -

/ have been asked to write short
article regarding the erection of a
Public Library Building for Bemidji.
The matter of securing a dona-
ton from Andrew Carnegie was
! taken up about year ago. The
mills of the gods grind slowly" 1t
has taken until this time to get the
matter in shape to present to the
council. Mr.. Carnegie, through his
private secretary, writes that he
would be glad to donate the sum of
$4,000 for the erection of a Free
Public Library building, if the city
of Bemidji will, by resolution of
council appropriate the sum of 1000
annually for its support. This
seems to be reasonable and has
met with almost universal approval.
Since first taking this matter up,
the writer has been busy making in
quirjes, where such buildings have
been erected, as to their success, and
nothing but favorable comment has
been received.
The council has already voted to
raise a half-mill tax for the sup
port of the library. This will raise
the sum of $500 per annum. By in
creasing this $685., or less than
three tenths of a mill making a total
levy of eight-tenths of a mill, the
required amount can be secured.
One mill would, at our present val
uation (1,261,O1S) raise s1261.
Since this year both real and per-
sonal property are to be assessed
the valuation will no doubt reach
$1,000, 1000, which will materially
lower The rate.
Now, as to the site. Mr.. Car
negie makes it obligatory upon the
city to secure a site. The charter
provides that no building shall be
erected upon lands to which the city
has not the title in fee simple.
I am informed that the city now
owns three small parks along the
lake shore. Why could not a part
of one of these be used for a site?
That would place it in a conspicuous
place and the very place where people
60 in the summer to rest and recre-
ate. This would in crease their value
for park purposes.
Respectfully,
A. P. RITCHIE,
Secretary Library Board.

HALVOR STEENERSON'S
SON BENJAMIN DROWNED
1oung Man Leaps to Watery Grave
While Attempting to Save a
Companion.

st. Paul, Feb. 17.-(Special to
Pioneer. 1.-The St. Paul Pioneer
Press this morning contained the
following telegram from Washing
ton:
Representative Halvor Steiner
son of Crookston on Sunday re-
ceived a telegram from New Port,
r. l., stating that his son, Benjamin
Stevenson, a private in the U. S.
Marine corps, was accidentally
drowned on Sunday.
Congressman Stevenson was, in
communication with the officials at
New Port by telephone Sunday
night and learned that while it is
not positive the man drowned is
Stevenson, all evidence points to it
being him.
Other reports we're that Steiner
son in uniform and another man
in civilian clothes had committed
suicide by drowning. The details
which were given to Representative
Stevenson was that row had
started among some marines aboard
a tug and civilian, and in the
scuffle the civilian fell overheard,
and STEVENSON jumped over to
rescue him and both were drowned.
Mrs. STEVENSON, who is here, is
Frustrated and under the physicians
care. Mrs. Stevenson will not be
able to 20 to New Port.
benjamin STEVENSON came here
with a party and attended the
George Washington University, from
which he graduated from the law
department. He enlisted in the
marine corps in East Grand Forks
last October. At that time he ex-
pected to have CHARGE to 90 with
the naval fleet to Pacific waters, and
probably around the world. He
missed that chance and was assigned
as a clerk at New Port. He had a
splendid record while in college.
Representative Stevenson be-
lieves the report which came to him
that his son is surely drowned and
he also believes the report of the
effort of the young man to save the
life of the civilian who fell from the
boat.

DUE TO HEAVY RAINS
Rivers at Pittsburg and Vicinity

AOWLANDS UNDER WATER
Thousands of Families Compelled to
Move Their Belongings to Places of

Damage to Property.
Pittsburg, Feb. 17-With a stage of
10 feet and rapidly rising at the rate
of a foot an hour the Allegheny, Mo-
nongahela, Ohio, Youghiogheny and
Kiskiminetes rivers are slowly spread
ing over the lowlands Of Pittsburg
and Western Pennsylvania points.
Rain continues to fall.
The damage to river craft and prop
erty located near the rivers is already
heavy. Large ice gorges in the Ale
gheny and Youghiogheny rivers above
this city are momentarily expected to
break, wrecking and demolishing
craft in its path. Some alarm is also
felt for number of bridges.
At points here the high water has
risen to the ground floors of business
houses and dwellings. Throughout
the night hundreds of people were
actively engaged removing their
household goods to places of safety.
All the small streams in towns sur.
rounding 'Pittsburg are beyond their
banks and the. water is rapidly rising.
Thousands of families at Sharpsburg,
Etna, Aspinwall, Charleroi, Oakdale
and numerous other places have been
compelled to remove their household
effects to the upper floors. In some
of the towns skiffs are being used as
a means of transportation to many
homes.
The rainfall is especially heavy at
the headwaters of the Allegheny river.
Colder weather is expected and should
1t occur it is thought the record of
last years great food will not be
reached.
Conditions here and in the sur
rounding territory are rapidly becom-
ing serious. Thousands of families
have been compelled to move to the
second floor of their homes; trolley
cars in some sections are out of
commission; several railroad lines
have been abandoned in part; cellars
are filled with water; pavements In
the lower portion of the city have
collapsed; several towboats and
barges have sunk; telegraph COM
munication interrupted; thousands of
men thrown out of employment in the
mines and manufacturing plants along
the river banks and at Springdale,
near here, two valuable government
dams are in danger of demolition from
heavy ice gorges.

GREAT DAMAGE FEARED.
Streams of Eastern Kentucky Out of
Their Banks.

Lexington, KY, Feb. 17.-Streams
throughout Eastern Kentucky are ris-
ing rapidly as result of the four
days rain and great damage is feared
by lumber concerns along the Ken
lucky, the Red, Cumberland, Licking
and Big Sandy rivers. Rivermen have
extra forces of men at work strength
ening log booms to hold the thou
sands of logs which will sweep down
upon them. This rush has already
begun. Several towns in the low
lands along the Licking river are re-
ported as in danger of being entered
by water. Much fencing in the low
lands has already been carried away
Traffic on railroads and interurban
lines running out of this city is de-
layed because of high water.
