How the President Welded Il In Day

Entirely as a matter of interest in
President Roosevelt's activities it is
pointed out that in the Eve letters he
wrote on Jan. 4 he has rebuked and
praised greater aggregation of per-
sons than would be supposed from a
cursory reading, says a Washington
correspondent of the New York Her
aid. In all he wrote two epistles to
the secretary Of the navy and one each
to the secretary of war, the chief Of
staff and the house committee on mil

Bemidji ''Boosf Buttons.

Buttons boosting" Bemidji are
being circulated all about the state of
Minnesota, and the designs on the
buttons are of such a striking nature
that they are attracting attention
everywhere.
Messrs. Crane & Gould recently
got out a catchy button, sBemidji Is
All Right" The latest button is a
design worded Bigger, Better, Bus
Ter, Bemidji, Boosters Brigade"
This latter button is from a design
furnished by James L. George, and
is certainly unique.
The fremen will make use of many
of these buttons, when they attend
the state fremen's meeting at Man.

of Bemidji should wear one as a

The Brinkman Theatre

The Brinkman family theatre was
well attended last evening and all
say that the program for this week
is among the best.
Jolly Zeb, as the Happy Tramp"
acted at his best and furnished lot

are good and every one should try
to see him this evening.
Marie Stuart Dood, the violinist
rendered several selections which
showed her to be a master of the
stringed instrument. She will be at
the Brinkman the balance of the
week.

and any one desiring an hours enter

being one of the very best dances
ever given in this city.

TIME WON'T BE EXTENDED
FOR CUTTING THE TIMBER
State Timber Board Will Discontinue Practice Of Extend
ing Time Of Permits to Cut Timber on Lands
Sold by the State.

Permits for cutting timber on state
lands will undoubtedly not be extern
ded this year, as has been the cos
tom in times gone by, the new ruling
having gone into effect as a result of
the work of state cruisers in unearth-
ing the fact that much more timber
has been cut from the cash-sale
tracts than was embraced in the orr
ginal estimate of the timber on the
state lands sold.
During the past two months there
has been considerable "kick1ng'' on
the part of loggers on lands bought
from the state that Auditor Iverson
had refused to follow the usual cos
tom of extending the time limits of
the permits, the loggers claiming

muskallonge) and succeed in
catching an even dozen of the So
called trout, not one of which
weighed less than thirteen pounds.
They brought several of the fish home
to Bemidji with them, and rejoice in
the oprima facie evidence that the
big fellows do not always get away.
And the people of Grand Forks
will never hear the last of this catch
of big fish.
Over at the Fork" the only fish
they have in Red river is the hog
of the deep" the catfish; and when a
Grand Forks man wants one of these
wallowers," he goes down stream
to a shallow place in the Red river
and lies in wait for his victim with a
good-sized hickory club. It's just
like butchering 'porker;" and when
a Fork" man can catch fish like
"Trip" and Titus did, their joy
knows no bounds.

Manager Brinkman as a gentleman
and a scholar and a true defendant

eight pounds each, and which were
twenty-four inches in length.

Brinkman Loses Fishing Record.

Fred Brinkman has lost his rep
as the champion fisherman of Bemidji,
and to Messrs. Pull and Zebb
(jointly, we believe) is now
accredited the belt as the boss
anglers of the city.
Recently, Fred went out and got
a fine string of pike, and he swel1ed
him out with pride, whenever the
fish were mentioned. His supremacy
was short-lived, however, as this
morning Pull, the hypnotist, and
Zebb, the tramp, at the Brinkman,
went out onto the deep of Lake
Bemidji, and when they returned

that they could not possibly finish
their cut in the allotted time.
In explanation of the action of
the state auditor in refusing to ex-
tend the time of the permits, party
who is close to the state auditor
states that condition of affairs has
been unearthed by the State Timber
Board that makes it imperative
that the permits be not extended,
as much more timber has been cut
than the amount called for in the
original permits.
The outcome of the work being
done by the timber board and the
cruisers in the employ of the state
will be watched with considerable
interest; as it is intimated that
something is liable to drap."

FREE DELIVERY WANTED
IN ALL PARTS OF CITY
Certain improvements Must Be Made
Before fine Routes Can Be
Further Extended.

Some time last fall, G.. E. Carson,
who was then postmaster of Bemidji,
took up with the postofice officials
at Washington the proposition to
extend the free delivery limits of
Bemidii to include the entire city.
AS now constituted, the limits of
the delivery system do not cover
much of the outlying territory of the
city, and free delivery is much
desired by people who reside some
distance from the postohice.
The matter has been thrashed out
considerably, and the latest letter
concerning the matter came from
Washington a few days ago, and is
as follows:
The postmaster, Bemidji, MINI,
Dear Sir:-In reply to the letter
of the 4 5th inst, it is requested tina t
you state whether the territory out
side of present delivery limits is pro-
vided with good side walks, street
lights, street signs and house num-
bers.
1T is not the policy of the depart
ment to extend city delivery to any
section which is not provided with
all Of the public improvements re-
quired by the regulations, or which
cannot be served to advantage by
carrier. Kindly forward copy of
the proposed schedule on the en-
closed blank
Much of the territory proposed to
be included in the free delivery
system contains the necessary
improvements and complies with the
request of the postof6ce department,
and no doubt the delivery will be
extended to large portion of the
territory desired.
However, the numbering Of the
houses and other improvements will
be rapidly complied with so that the
entire city will no doubt be covered
by free delivery before fall.
