Yves Wright, F.O. Sibley and A. w.
Danaher was concluded this after
noon after a session lasting for the
past ten days.
At the beginning of the session,
this morning, E. E. Mcdonald stated
to commissioner Ryan that he had
withdrawn as council fot A. w.
Danaher and wanted the record to
show this.
The time yesterday afternoon was
consumed in the examination of
claims charged against the road and

of the defense that even though the
claims were allowed in 1907 that
1906 contracts should not be includ-
ed in the 1908 claims as to charges

two." The claim of ]. H. Crouch
against the county for three blocks
of cement sidewalks around the court
house was objected to by the defense,
they claiming that that was not a
proper charge against the road and
bridge fund.
Mr.. Danaher's separate defense to
count two" was that he was not
present at enough of the meetings
at which appropriations were made
nor did he take part in the heavy
appropriations of that year, to be
blamed for actions of the board.

THE M. & |. is BUILDING
new BEM|DJI TERMINALS
New Freight Division Terminals Viii
Cost About $50, 900. -Roadmaster
l.. Mills in Charge. . =.

The work of building new termi-
nails and installing many additional
and larger buildings to its railway
facilities, on the east side of Lake
Bemidji and Lake Irving, has been
commenced by the Minnesota &
International railway company, and
will be rushed to completion just as
rapidly as men and machinery can
finish the work.
Realizing the large amount of
freight business which is being
handled by their road, with Bemid il
as the central point, the M. & I.
railway company decided to at once
improve and greatly enlarge it's ter
minal facilities at this point, by
abandoning the present terminals in
South Bemidji, south of the Great
Northern railroad tracks, and build
ing new terminals for the purpose
of handling all the business for
some years to come,
The new terminals will be located
on the ground north of the wagon
road running east from this city
towards the poor farm and right
directly east of the south shore of
Lake Bemidji. There are several
acres here which belong to the M.
& I. railway company which are
very desirable for the purpose for
which they will be used, being locat.
ed directly between the sawmills of
the Crookston Lumber company.
These terminals will be known as
district terminals, where all freight
handled north and south in Bemidj il
will be made up" There will be a
new frame round house, which will
have but eight stalls ct present with
a possibility of being greatly en-
larged as needed, and when re-
quired. There will be two. bucket
coal dock, a large water tank,
good-sized machine shop and, in
fact, everything needed for an up

Mr.. Leath is accompanied by his

to-date district terminal.
It is altogether likely that the con-
tract for the power with which to
operate the terminals will be give n
to the Warfeld Electric company OF
this city. This company owns the
big dam in the Mississippi river,
east of Bemidji, where some 1900
horse power is generated, of which
11OO-horse power. is available at the
present time. This matter is not
definitely settled at the present time,
but the contract will undoubtedly
be closed in the very near future.
It is stated by the M. & I. officials
that these improvements will |
necessisate the expenditure of $685.
1000 to $4,000, and the new ter.
minals will be most complete, in
every sense. -
The work is being done under
the direct supervision of Harry
Mills, roadmaster for the M. & I.
railway company. The steam shovel
was brought to Bemidji the first OF
week and a big gang of men are en-.
gagged in grading and excavating
at the point where the terminals
will be installed. The installing OF
these terminals means whole 10,

as the railway hub of north-centra]
