Cutting Lots Of Timber.

T. J. Nary, the general north
country representative for the Pills
bury Logging company, came in
yesterday afternoon from Deer River
and points north of that place, where
he had been to visit several logging
camps. ...~ ~.
MIR. Nary states that his company
is getting out lot of timber this
winter, and that the season has
proved a profitable one for loggers
generally in and about Deer River.
The Itasca Logging company has
sub-contracts to do the logging for
the Pillsbury people, and Mr.. Nary
says the Pillsbury concern will get
out about fifteen million feet. This
timber will be hauled to Deer River
over the Itasca Logging company's
railroad and dumped onto the ice of
the Mississippi river, to be RATED
down the Father of Waters,' next
spring to Minneapolis, where the
mills will saw the timber into the

Gunther Making Fine Showing.

The Duluth Evening Herald says
of George Gunther, who will fight
Ben Tremble next Monday night, in
northern Minnesota:
George Gunther, the Australian
fighter was introduced to the crowd
after which he and Ulrich boxed
three fast rounds in order that the
fans present might get a line on the
new conner. Gunther proved to be
a very shifty fellow and kept UIrich
moving all the time. - ...
He has a mean job and he has
a habit of landing it every once
in while. Speculation was rifle as
to how he would stack up with
Whitehead, the majority of the fans
expressing the belief that bout
with the two as principals would be
fast affair. .....
"Gunther fights Ben Tremble Mon
day night and soon afterwards will
meet Barrel Smith. Some time in
April he will be matched to meet
Whitehead"

Mr.. and Mrs. C.. A. Huffman of

neered an exceptionally pleasant
surprise party at their home on

An elaborate six-course dinner was

The fight for the location of the
proposed sixth state normal school
has reached the acute stage-in
fact, the different contestants are
on the home stretch, so to speak,
and it is more than likely that
within the next ten days the matter
will be definitely settled, whether
the north half of the state is to
have a school, to be located by
some board or committee after due
and adequate investigation, or the
solons down at St. Paul are to give
the school to Cass Lake, with a
choice of the latter location or alter
native of no school, with all bills
killed.
The latter suggestion is brought
forth by the attitude of at least one
Of Cass Lakes representatives in the
legislature, who is accredited with
saying that he will locate the school
in Cass Lake or kill all bills for a
school anywhere in northern Min
nesota. This same gentleman &C
companied the house and senate
joint committee on its recent junket
to Bemidji, Cass Lake and Thief
River Falls, coming as far as Cass
Lake and Bemidji and leaving hastily
while the banquet was on here.
This act was committed after it had
been specifically agreed in St. Paul,
between P. H. McGarry, ]. ]. Opsahl
and the writer, that neither of the
three parties mentioned or anyone
else interested in the location of the
school should be member of the
party. Such has been all the efforts
of Cass Lake and her supporters
bulldozing the bill for Cass Lake
and caring nothing for fairness or
the fitness of that lonesome village.
The normal school committee of
the house and senate submitted
reports Wednesday,, and Cass Lake
can be said to have fallen down
considerably since the last show
down."
Under the reports given out, the
senate agreed to report out both the
Cass Lake and Bemidji bills, without
recommendation.
The house committee voted to
send out the so-called general bill''
leaving the location of the school to
the state normal school board recon-
mending it to pass. Representative
P. H. McGarry of Walker, who has
been the chief scout for the Cass
Lake site, will submit a minority
report, asking that the Cass Lake
bill be considered along with the
general bill.
In writing to the Duluth Herald.
Stillman II. Bingham, the legislative
reporter, says of the situation:
The fight in the house will then
be Cass Lake against the field
as all the other communities have
joined hands to back the genera
bill. An attempt may be made il
the senate, when the normal schoo
fight is reached in the regular order
Of business, to amend one of the
pending bills by submitting the pro
visions Of the general bill.
It had been expected that the
visit Of the special subcommittee

self a committee of one for the
purpose of visiting any remote sec
ton of the country in the interest
of the fair. Of course, there are ex-
penses and these often include
dinners and automobile rides, with
the bills for the same audited by
those making the visits.
Quoting one member of the COM
mittee, these trips happened often
and with regularity. There is no
check on the bills, the committee
auditing its own and receiving
vouchers from the treasurer for the
same. This feature of the work is
done along lines of gentlemanly
courtesy"
The Dispatch article intimates
that the immense payroll incurred in
paying the armies of help at fairs
are never checked up, and that the
business methods of the fair man.
ayers were lax in the extreme.
The fireworks feature of the fair
is also receiving the probe, and some
interesting facts are being brought
to light.
Says the Dispatch:
So far the committee has confined
its Investigations to Secretary Co.'S
grove and President Underwood and
several wagonloads of books and
vouchers, which it had brought to
the capitol. Past officials of the
association will be put on the spit as
fast as they can be reached.
AS one of the members puts it,
the investigation to date, while
devoid of anything in a criminal
way, yet shows great extravaganza"
The Beltrami county representa-
tive who attended the annual meet
ing of the State Agricultural society
is emphatic in expressing his disgust
at the manner in which the affairs of
the society are conducted. w. R.
Mackenzie, secretary of the Beltrami
County Agricultural society, was
present at the meeting and states that
the arbitrary rulings of the president
and the bull-dozing methods en-
ployed in conducting the annual
election smacked very strongly of
combinations and alliances that very
much need a probe.

from the two normal school COM
mittees to northern Minnesota would
result in choice of a location, but
the division of opinion was too
great to bring this about"
The foregoing from the Herald
certainly speaks volumns for the
work which has been done by. Be-.
midi representatives who have been
at St. Paul, as none of the papers
would allow that general bill had
any chance, after P H. McGarry
and Dan Gum had sewed up the
legislature with promises.
AS the matter now stands, the re-
port of the house committee has
been made and the consideration of
the committees report OH the adop-
ton of the general bill' is on gen.
eral orders" and will probably reach
| -
! a combatable stage on the floor of
the house early next week, possibly
Monday, if not Monday, on Tuesday.
| It will then be seen if P. III. Nc,
Garry can make good" his asser-
tionthat he has enough votes to
carry the Cass Lake bill through,
even under a minority report from a
committee which has visited the
different locations.
! At meeting of those interested
in normal school for northern
Minnesota which was held in the
council chambers last evening, it
| was the unanimous sentiment that
Bemidii should continue the fight
for the general BILL" it being the
fairest measure to all candidates for
the location of the school, and as
every citizen of Bemidji is firm
believer that there is not a better
city in the north half of the state
| than our own beautiful community,
andsthat we stand fair show to
get the school, if the location is left
to any impartial body of men.
| The meeting was largely attended
and the sentiment for the school
was decidedly enthusiastic.
The exact status of the situation
was explained, and it was decided
to send the following additional
gentlemen to St. Paul to assist in
| pushing the general bill through
the house and senate: E. E. Nc
Donald, E. A. Barker, A. P. White,
Anton Erickson, P. ]. Russell, F. S.
Lycan, with substitute should any
of these gentlemen be unable to 20
below"
1t was also unanimously agreed
that special invitation should be
extended to the Hon. Albert Berg of
Spooner to be present for several
days the first of next week and give
his valuable services in convincing
the members of the legislature of
the fairness and business of the
! general bill"
! T. ]. Burke, w. L. Brooks and
Eugene Berman were appointed a
committee on solicitation, and q
i good start was secured by donations
from those who we're present at the
meeting.
i AS the situation now stands, Cass
