TIMBER CLAIMS AFFECTED
BY WITHDRAWN OF LAND
Lands Northeast Of Ely, Wanted for
Forest Reserve, Were Very Desir.
able Timber Claims.

The recent withdrawal of con.
siderable portion of government
land in Lake and ST.. Louis counties,
with the possibility that it will be
used for National forest reserve, has
taken from entry at the Duluth land
district a large numbered the timber
claims in which people living
in Bemidji and other parts of Bel
trami county are very much inter
ested.
During the past two years quite a
number of people living here have
made filing on stone and timber
claims in the country northeast of
Ely, where there has probably
been as good timber claims as
anywhere in the United States. In
fact, locators have made a lot of
money in securing these claims for
applicants.
Among the locators who have
made that country is Nels Otterstad,
who has located many people on
claims in that vicinity.
When the recent ruling was made
withdrawing the lands mentioned
Mr.. Otterstad decided to go to visit
the Duluth land office and also the
territory involved in the order,
Mr.. Otterstad returned yesterday
from his visit to point forty-fve
miles northeast of Ely and he reports
That there are a very few claims left
IN that country which was moi
| effected by the recent order.
Among the lands which are
effected by the ruling and which
are known to local people are tn,
following:
Town 81, ranges 2, 3, 4, I, 8, 9

The attack Of appendicitis wa:
such strong one thatit was impos

ably sure that they will accept hi.
proposition and play against the
Bemidji team Sunday.
Mr.. Washburn is also correspond
ing with the first team of Coleraine,
and if Deer River does not play here
on Sunday there is a possibility that
the Coleraine team will play.
Mr.. Washburn is arranging for the
Bemidji team to play game al
Coleraine on May 80, the two teams
to be brought to Bemidji to play a
game here on Sunday, May 81, the
day following decoration day. These
arrangements have not been def.
nitely settled, but it is more than
likely that Deer River will play
here next Sunday and that Bemidji
will play Coleraine the 30th and
Coleraine be here on the 31st.
Mr.. Washburn is making every
effort to give the people of this city
a frst-class ball team and with
that end in view will keep on
trying out new players until he
gets what he wants. In this con-
nection it is possible that another
frst-class pitcher will be secured
to strengthen the team.

"BEM|DJI SHOULD Be
PROUD OF HER COMPANY
Adjutant General Of Michigan Pays
High Compliment to the New
Militia Organization.

Bemidji may well be proud of her
infant militia company, the members
of which are indeed making sur
prising showing of efficiency in drill
and military tactics. Although a
little more than month old, the
entire company drills like veteran
organization.
Such was the declaration of Cap.
tain Bell, adjutant of the Third
Regiment of the Minnesota National
Guards, who was present at the drill
of Company K of Bemidji last even
ing.
Captain Bell was present at the
assembling of the guards and was re-
quested by Adam E. Otto, captain of
the company, to inspect the arms,
the equipments and also note the
drill work, and he was urged to
criticise, unsparingly, any defects
that he might note.
The captain was evidently pleased
and in addition to his remarks first
quoted he gave a short address to
the company, in which he told
them that he was very well pleased
with the appearance of the company
and its officers. The captain spoke
on the loyalty which the privates
owed to the officers and also urged
them to respect the United States
uniforms.

AGAINST CLASS ISSUES.
Manufacturers Association Takes {
Decided Stand.

Decided Stand.
New York, May 21.-Following up
the important action of it's earlier SEES
sions protesting against political agi
tation Of a demogogic nature calcu.
lated to set capital and labor at odds
the National Association of Manufac.
turers in annual convention here took
decided stand against the raising of
class issues by the great political par
ties of the nation. This action was in
the form of a resolution introduced by
John Kirby of Dayton, o., and worded
as follows:
Resolved, That the president of
this association be authorized and in.
structed to select such members as he
may deem proper to serve with him
as committee to represent this as.
ISOLATION before the national execu.
tive committees of the two political
parties and that he invite the co.
operation of committees from other
associations to the end that class
declaration planks may be omitted
from the platforms of both parties"
Close upon the heels of this move
by the manufacturers came the taking
on their part of a decided stand
against the advance in freight rates,
which the trunk lines of the country
have announced to be impending. The
manufacturers seek an amicable ad.
justment of the matter with the rail.
roads, but failing that announce their
intention Of resisting the proposed
advance in the courts by process of
injun ction or otherwise.

READY TO MEET HIS FATE
Wealthy Brooklyn Man Victim OF
Hvdrophobja,

New York, May 21.-When told that
his death was certain as result Of
hydrophobia William H. Marsh, an
aged wealthy man, calmly turned away
with the remark that he would be
ready when the summons came. With
out q tremor he walked down the
steps of the Pasteur institute, stepped
into his carriage and started for his
home in Brooklyn.
"You waited too long," the surgeons
at the institute told him after they
had made their examination. Our
treatment cannot help you. You have
hydrophobia."
{. There was not a falter in his voice
or change in his face as he heard
them.
"How much time do you give me?'
he asked.
"Not long," said the physician.
probably not more than four or five
days"
"Well," he said, IF I have to go
can face It. My business is in shape
and day or two more will see it all

Business in eggs and dairy produce was re-
sumed with market conditions pretty much the
same as at the close of last week. Dealers con-
tinued to report improving demand for eggs
and supplies OF all grades moved OF readily at
firm prices Firsts were 13c dozen higher on
bids at 23c. the growing scarcity OF strictly fine
extras causing a active market for them.
Stocks OF butter were large and surplus lots of
the extra grade were put into the ice houses. but
there was quite an accumulation of the under
grades lying around and IL was a matter OF
some difficulty for receivers to move such stock
and maintain prices. Cheese was plentiful and.
although local fats were officially described as
hrm at the recent decline, the feeling in the
street was quite the reverse, nearly all re-
ceiyers were carrying large stocks.
The only transaction the exchange was

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE
Future Grain and Provisions

CHICAGO, July 2o.-Trade in the wheat pit
was quiet and sentiment was bearish all day.
The market. however, held up well. considering
that the price of wheat at all the principal Eu-
ropean grain centers was lower and that pri
mary receipts in this country aggregated more
than 100000 bushels. The comparative steadi-
ness of the local market was due to continued
excellent demand for the cash grain and to crop
damage reports in the northwest. Local bulls
were the principal buyers and commission houses
the chief sellers. The market closed steady at
slight decline. September opened 1s@12c lower
at 9015c to e0&c, sold up to 91 &c and closed at
905sc
The market was inclined to be weak
early because of reselling of distant futures
based on favorable crop tips. Trade in the
nearby options was quiet the greater part of the
day. Firmer tone developed during the last half
OF the day on covering by shorts. all of the
earlier loss being regained The market closed
steady. September opened &c lower to sc
higher at 75&c to rec sold at I57sc and closed
at 757sc Local receipts were 159 cars, with %
OF contract grade.
Trading in oats was quiet and the market
fairly steady. September opened 1sc to Ae
