The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1908-02-10

During the late currency famine
banks in the south were closed
for weeks at a time. When the
stringency had been broken some
what, and banks were re-opened and
began specie payments in sums of
only S. at a time, and did not ex-
coed SIS per week; and all persons,
whether heavy property owners or
not, in their business deals, were
subjected to the same rigid rule as
to the paying of currency; and
even now, there is some financial
stringency in the south.
Conditions in Minnesota are so
much better and so much different
f ON those in the south one could
scarcely believe it is the same coun-
try. The financial situation in the
northwest, and especially Mime
sofa, is indeed reassuring. There is
plenty of money for legitimate bust
ness purposes, and the banks are
only exercising that caution which is
deemed the best for business stabil-
ity. In fact, the banks of Mime.
sofa never did, wholly, suspend
specie payments during the late
currency famine. They simp ly
desired their patrons to use descre.
ton in their payment of specie and
confne their operations to legitimate
business. 4. 49,.
The north is certainly away ahead
of the south, from a business view
point, and residents of this section
should think twice before they con-
slider moving to another part of the
country with the intention of bene-
fitting themselves.

the Thurston building with but a
small amount of damage.

the Thurston building with but a
small amount of damage.
r.. It is believed that the fire origi-
mated in some rubbish, which was
over the first floor of the saloon
building in the Sullivan place of
business, and but for the fact that
that the lower room was covered
with steel ceiling and side walls the
building would undoubtedly have
been burned to the ground.
The building owned by the Hamm
Brewing company was insured in the
sum of $1,000 and it is probable
that most of the damage to- the
building is covered by insurance.
Mr.. Sullivan estimates the dam
ages on his fixtures and stock at
about 5000, mostly covered by insur-
ance.
Mr.. Thurston estimates his loss at
about the same figure, partially
covered by insurance. -
If it is shown that the Hamm
building is too badly damaged to be
repaired handsome brick block will
be built on the corner at once to
replace the one damaged by fire. In
the meantime, Messrs. Sullivan and
Thurston have moved their stock of
goods to the brick block owned by
Major Bros. <@-~-~-~ g.. Il,

DULUTH Y.M.C.A. DIRECTOR
DISPUTES LOCALS CLAIM
Bakeball Bunch at zenith City" Dodge Playing Off Te
and Through A. j. Frey Make Untruthful Claims
for Their Would.Be Champions.

The statement made by the Pho
neer to the effect that the Bemidj il
basketball team was the champion
ship team of northern Minnesota
has aroused the ire of one A. ]. Frey,
physical director of the so-called ~.
NJ. G. A." basketball team of Duluth,
which played tie game here
recently.
1t is a fact we'll known here that
the game ended in tie, through no
fault of the local players, who offered
to finish the game then and there,
the visiting players absolutely refus.
ing to continue, the statement of the
Y. M. c. A." director to the con-
trary Notwithstanding.
Frey (who was courteously allowed
to referee the game) now comes out
in Duluth paper with the following
untruthful statement:
L don't want to 90 into any news
paper controversy with the Bemidj il
team or newspaper" said Physical
Director A. ]. Frey of the Y. M. C..
A. this morning, but the Bemid ii
teams claim to the Northern Mime
sofa championship on the strength
of tie game with us is absurd. In
the first place there was no tie game.
We won by score of IS to II, the
captain of the Bemidj team admitted
the score and we were not asked to
continue the game and play off tie.
Capt. Brown Of the Bemidji five
said we won fairly and that is
enough.
AS for rough work in the game,
Bemidji had the greater amount of
that to it's discredit. The manager
of the team told me personally after
the game that two of the men were
to be put off of the team for rough
work and nobody ever claimed that
our boys were rough illegally or
dirty in any way.
Bemidji's claim is unfounded and
I believe it is cooked up in the news
paper Offices there for effect.'
That Bemidji players and Bemid il
people use visitors courteously and
fairly is fact attested to by every
outside team that has played here,
as is shown by the following articles.

BOARD OF HEALTH
IS OUT AGAINST
DR.. MITCHELL
Governor Has Been Asked Not
to Reappoint Him Secretary
of the State Board.

The Board of Health went on record
last night as being opposed to the re-
appointment of DR.. Henry Mitchell as
secretary of the State Board of Health.
The stand of the health officials was
embodied in a resolution which will be
presented TO the Governor.
Health Officer David d. Chandler
declared that he and President Herold
had already seen Governor Fort to ask
him not to reappoint DR.. Mitchell. He
added thai their reasons were not eN-
pressed at the interview, as DR..
Mitchell was not present.
Mr.. Chandler intimated that the
State board was 4 useless institution
anyhow. and had only four meetings a
year. DR.. Disbrow smilingly reminded
him that they got out an annual re-
port.
The report of DIR. Worl, superintend-
cnt of the department of contagious
diseases, WAS received. 1t showed that
there have been in the city during the
past month 336 cases of contagious dis
cases, an increase of sixty-eighty over
the previous month. There have been
AL deaths during the month, making
the death rate for that period 1917.

Under no circumstances will we tire

the interest of the mass-meeting to be

1t is also set forth that the people

ever sought to forcibly suppress all
efforts of freedom and has known only
too well how to suppress every step

And again: rs it not a pity that the

ENJO|NED FROM
GETTING MONEY
ON CHURCH NOTE
Dispute as to Whether Four or
Five Lots Are in
Deed.

Vice-Chancellor Stevens has enjoined
Lewis and Margaret Van Duyne, of
Morristown, from procuring execution
on a judgment against the Cyril and
METHOD Roman Catholic Church, of
Boonton, on a note signed by the treas
urer of the church.
In their bill, Andrew Kapinos and
Gejza H. Hooker, secretary and treas
urer, respectively, of the church, allege
that they purchased for the church last
July five lots in Morristown for $500.
Of this amount $500 was paid in cash,
and a note given for the balance.
The note matured last October and
when the holders asked for the money,
the compliments refused to pay, say
ing that only Jour of the five lots were
named in the deed. Suit was brought
to recover the amount of the note, and
the Van Duynes won out. Still the
church officers refused to pay. con
tending that they had been cheated out
of one lot. Execution was applied for.
the bill says, and the property was
about to be sold. when the v~ice-chan-
c%ellor's order today delayed execution
until the merits of the case can be
heard.

Il. e. Eaton. chairman of the build
ing committee of the Board of Free
hoiders' today received from the chair
man OF the Hospital Commission a
letter sharply eriticising the construc-
ton OF the County Isolation Hospital

The ventilating system, which is pro-
nounced a doubtful expedient."
Inadequate and insufficient exits.

n toilet rooms.
Location of the laundry adjoining
the kitchen.
Food carriers which are pronounced
practically worthless.
Location and arrangement of the

ton of children from adults.
The commission recommends thai
three small buildings be erected at once,
one for smallpox, one for measles and

should be divided into two or more
rooms" the recommendation continues,
each room having separate entrances,
toilet and kitchen accommodations
