The Bemidji city council last even
ing adopted the official resolution
required by the adjutant general of
the state militia in order that proper
quarters are provided for the main
tenance of local militia company
and also place in which drill may
be conducted. A similar resolution
was passed by the council a month
ago, but the requirements were not
all contained in that resolution. By
the present resolution, the company
is assured for Bemidji, and the work
of recruiting the company will be
renewed with more vigor, and the
full strength will undoubtedly be
secured before spring opens
P. J. Russell presented the resolu-
ton, Mr.. Otto having been called
from the city.
There was some question as to
how far the city was bound. Mr..
Russell explained that every enlisted
man paid 800 at the time he was
accepted, which went for the main
tenance of the company; also, that
room in the court house had been
secured for the placing of the para
phernalia, and that arrangements
had been practically made for the
use of the roller rink as a drill-hall.
The resolution is as follows:
Whereas, there has been mani
tested desire on the part of certain
citizens of the city of Bemidji to
organize and maintain a company of
militia, the intention being that the
same shall become constituent part
of the Minnesota National Guard,
and it is the opinion of the citizens
of the city of Bemidjl that the said
company be organized and mustered
into the service of the state and that
suitable provisions should be made
for the same by the said city of Be-
midi as by law provided; now, there
fore be it
Resolved, by the common council
of the city of Bemidji that the said
city be and it is hereby bound to
provide for and furnish to the said
company, when and as soon as it is
mustered into the service of the state
as a part of the National Guard of
the state of Minnesota, or within a
suitable time thereafter, a suitable
and sufficient armory or drill-hall,-
the same to include and consist of
at least drill-hall of sufficient size
to permit of the company drill, to-
gether with another room, or other
rooms, sufficient for the proper stor-
age and safe keeping of any and all
state property of whatever kind or
nature, that may from time to time
be used by said company, or by any
member thereof, or be in it's posses
sion and under the control of its
officers, or any of them; be it further
Resolved, that the said armory
or drill-hall, and all the appurtenant
store rooms and locker rooms and
all rooms used in connection there
with by the said company, or any
of the members thereof, be equipped
with all necessary apparatus for the
proper and sufficient heating and
lighting of the same, and that the
same, and all thereof, shall be at all
proper times and on all proper occa-
sions heated and lighted at the ex-
pense of the city of Bemidji; for the
prompt payment of such expenses,
both of the installation of the heat
ing and lighting apparatus, and of
the heating and lighting of the said
rooms, as herein provided, the city
of Bemidji is hereby bound"

COUNCIL PASSED MILITIA
RESOLUTION; co. ASSURED
City Attorney Presents Health Ordinance Granting Coun
Gil Power to Enforce Quarantine; Also Instructed
AttorneYt Force Assessment Correction

ordinance prepared by City Attor-
ney Gibbons, for the preservation of
health and the suppression of dis
eases and to prevent the introduc
ton of contagious, infections and
other diseases into the city.
The ordinance covers fully every
manner of disease and the preserva.
ton of health.
One of the provisions of the ordi-
nance is the granting to the city
the power to establish quarantine
for infections diseases, which includes
smallpox. The council, at last
weeks meeting, authorized the city
attorney to draw an ordinance en-
bracing quarantine regulation,
providing the same would be legal.
City Attorney Gibbons stated last
evening that he had looked up the
law further in the matter and found
that the charter of the city granted
this privilege to the city, hence the
ordinance.
The charter requires that the
ordinance be given another reading
before coming up for the third read
ing and final passage. Whether the
State Board of Health will attempt
to interfere with the adoption of
quarantine regulations in this city
is not known, but there is a general
demand for some sort of warning for
the public in case of infectious dis
eases-especjally is this true of
smallpox.
The meeting of the council last
evening was attended by six men,
bers of the organization, three be-
ing absent. -~~-
The animal report of the city
treasurer was presented by the clerk,
who asserted that he had checked
the same, in accordance with the
orders of the council, and the report
was accepted, the council voting to
publish resume of the report, which
will be prepared by the finance
committee.
The city clerks report was accept
ed and ordered filed with the treas
urer's report.
]. H. Sullivan was allowed to
transfer his license to the Major
Bros block.
The fire department was given
permission to buy some needed new
supplies, which include a new An
derson combination nozzle, pipe
spreads, and three insulated pipes.
Alderman Bowser called the atten-
ton of the members of the council
to the existing conditions relative to
city sewer tax. He stated that when
the agitation was made for new
sewers, it was agreed that the assess
ment for the same should be spread
over five years. He understood that
the assessment was included in one
year, as returned by the county audi
tor, and he believed action should
be taken to right the matter, as it
would work hardship on many.
City Attorney Gibbons stated that
he had talked with County Auditor
Wilman concerning the matter and
that the latter had agreed to have
the assessment spread over five
yearly payments, instead of one;
that Mr.. Wilmann afterwards told
him (Mr. Gibbons) that he thought
he was joking, and that he did
not believe he should stand the
expense of having the correction
made.
The council instructed the city
attorney to take charge of the mat
ter and to at once force a correc-
ton of the assessment so that it
would be spread over five payments
instead of one.

itol and also the designer of the fur.

James s. Sherman OF New YORK wouId
probably get the support of that state
for second place on the ticket.
It is believed that if the Cortelyou
boom had developed strength in New
York state sufficient to get the dele
cation the announcement made in fa-
vor of Dolliver and Cummings would
not have been forthcoming.
Sherman Is regarded by the admin
lstration as rather too much of con-
servative to take second place on the
ticket and also is looked upon as lack
Ing ability to carry on whirlwind
campaign which the vice presidential
nominee will probably be expected to
do. There are many advisers In fa-
vor of Mr.. Taft remaining at his home
In Ohio to receive delegations and to
perhaps make short speeches of well
cor e to them.
There are many dangers awaiting
the presidential nominee as a result of
momentary mistake of judgment in
making long political speeches which
would be part of general stumping
campaign. For that reason many Of
those who are interested in Mr.. Taft's
candidacy will not wish to see him
make a tour of the country
But In the case of the vice presi-
Dental nominee just the opposite view
prevails. Either Senator Dolliver or
Governor Cummins is looked upon as
an ideal campaigner They are both
advanced in political views and would
readily, it is declared, meet the ap.
proval OF the great West and Pacific
coast states. They are both ready
takers and are familiar with what are
known as the Roosevelt policies, both
