SAW MILLS HAVE CLOSED
DOWN FOR THE WINTER
Past Season Busy OneExtensye Logging to Be Carried
On During Winter.-Mills Mean Much for
Bemdji.

The active saving of logs in the
mills of the Bemidji and Crookston
Lumber companies has been sus'
pended for the present season and a
majority of the men who have been
working in the sawmill plants of the
lumber manufacturing industries of
these companies will be employed in
the logging camps in this north
section.
While the two sawmills are closed,
the planning mills owned by both
companied will be operated to their
fullest capacity during the entire
winter season.
The mill of the Crookston Lumber
company began saving on March
80 and there was continuous run
until November IS. The season
was a very successful one, there be-
ing no mishaps to speak of to the
machinery and lay-offs were very
few.
The average monthly payroll of
the Crookston company during the
saving season was 5000; and the
number of men employed was be-
tween 400 and 500.
During the coming winter about
100 men will be employed in the
planning mill and in loading cars
and this payroll will average be-
tween 81, 900 and $4,000 per month.
The Crookston company will have
about 1900 men and $50 head of
horses working in the woods cutting
timber for the company. The
average payroll of these men will
be about $4,000 per month. :
The timber which will be cut by
the men in the employ of the
Crookston Lumber company in the
woods adjacent to Bemidji will
supply the mills at Bemidji, Crook
ston and Sank Rapids, the Crook
ston company having decided to
run the Crookston mill another
year. The Crookston Lumber com.
pany purchased the Sank Rapids
mill last fall and it is now one of
that company's saving plants.
The Bemidji Lumber company
began saving with their plant on
April and the season was termi-
mated November IL.

The Bemidji company employed
-225 men during the summer and the
average monthly payroll was SIS, 900.
The saving season was very sue
cessful one for this company. There
were no accidents to the machinery
and no delays anywhere about the
plant.
This winter about seventy-fve
men will be employed TO work in
the planning mill of this company
and the average monthly payroll
will be about $4,000.
Extensive logging operations will
be carried on during the winter by
the Bemidji Lumber company all
of which will be by sub.contractors.
Most of this timber is adjacent to
the M. & I. railway.

THE BAGLEY BANKERS
CANDIDACY FAVORED
Kaisers Candidacy for State Treasurer
Favored by Local Republicans.
Will Make Active Canvas.

The movement which has been
started by friends of Albert F.
Kaiser, the Bagley banker, to
run him as a candidate for the
republican nomination for state
treasurer was given publicity in
this city yesterday and the PROPOSE
ton has received the favor of the
republican leaders here and in this
vicinity.
1t was impossible to get Mr..
Kaiser over the phone, but from
what we are able to learn, the
article in the Minneapolis paper,
which proposed Mr.. Kaiser for state
treasurer, was inspired by friends
of Mr.. Kaiser without the know
ledge of the Bagley man.
It is believed, however, that Mr..
Kaiser will become 4 candidate for
state treasurer if he has reasons to
believe that the field will be clear
to him and things are right for
Ninth district man to ask something
at the hands of the party.
Mr.. Kaiser's well-known repub-
licanism is recognized by members
of the party in the Ninth district as
being deserving of something good.
Local bankers, with one accord,
heartily approve the suggestion that
MI. Kaiser become a candidate for
state treasurer, e. -" =:

Hunters, Eager..for Licenses.

Up to Wednesday evening 468
licenses to kill big game had been
issued at the County auditors office.
This is fair number of licenses
considering the fact that one is not
necessarily required to secure a
license to hunt big game in his
county. y.
The number compares very favor
ably with the licenses issued last
year; and the revenue therefrom,
minus ten cents which goes to the
auditor, is velvet" for the State
Game & Fish commission.

SANTA FE GENEROUS.
Took the Word of Pomona Wreck
Victims for Amount of Loss

Ottawa. Kan, July 15.-The Santa
Fe railroad promptly assumed full
responsibility for the Pomona wreck
and has treated the passengers with
were on hand the day after the wreck
and made prompt and satisfactory
settlement for all losses. Passengers
were asked to make a list OF what
they had lost and checks were written
without a moments delay the word
of the passenger being taken in every
case as to the amount of loss.
The company also announced its
intention to pay the people of Po-
mona and vicinity for everything they
did to aid the wreck-sufferers. Those
who took the victims to their homes
were paid for the entertainment at
hotel rates and all who aided in the
rescue work were given checks in
payment for their time.
After settling with all who could be
reached, the claim agents named q
committee consisting of ]. E. Reed,
mayor of the town: S V Rice justice
Clark pastor of the Presbyterian
church. This committee is to receive
and audit all additional claims that
may come in. All claims upon which
the committee places it's o. K. will be
paid by the company the last of the
week.
The sums paid out will not be a
total loss to the Santa Fe as there
will be considerable salvage. All day
yesterday money. watches and
jewelry were being found in the
vicinity of the wreck. Rolls of bills
running from $25 to 5000 were dis
covered quietly nesting in women's
satcheIs and mems pocket books.
The watches will need cleaning. the
money has only to be dried out. but
the satchels and clothing are of
course pretty nearly a total loss.
Everything found goes to the rail-
road company and its salvage in
money, watches and jewelry will
probably amount to several thousand

M'NANUS IS SOLD.
Des NIoines Gets Catcher-Burnum
Suspension Raised.

Frank McManus, the popular
catcher of the Topeka team who has
been under suspension for several
days, has been sold to Des Moines
and will leave tonight to join the
team of that city. Fred Burnum. a
pitcher also under suspension has
been ordered to report to the team
at Sioux City tomorrow and will leave
Topeka this evening, reporting there
tomorrow when double header will
likely be played.
This ends the suspension of the
two players. 1t is thought by his
many friends that Burnum will pitch
much better ball from now on. He
will be given every opportunity by
Manager Cooley, and by working in
his regular turn he ought to be able
to give a good account of himself. He
is badly needed at the present time
with the pitching staff in a condition
none too good, and with six games to
be played at Sioux City. Burnum' s
fall from grace it is claimed was
largely due to the influence of Nc
Manus and it is likely he Will do bet
ter now that McManus has left the
team. McManus when in condition
is without a peer in the Western
league. He has many friends here,
and all want to see him make good
with the Des Moines team. Burnum
is good pitcher, and it is hoped that
he will pitch as good ball as he has at
different times thus far this season.

TAFT AND DIAZ.
Plans for Meeting of the Presidents
Are Going Forward.

Washington, July 15.-A meeting
between President Taft and Presi-
dent Diaz of Mexico now being partly
assured, the president and his cabinet
are giving some attention to arrange
ments for carrying out such an un-
usual and notable event. Presiden
Taft has never met his executive
neighbor but long has cherished the
hope of so doing.
Exchanges are in progress between
the two executives, Mr.. Taft it was
said today, having taken the initiative
in expressing a wish that the heads
of the two republics of North America
might come together. Various de-
tails of the meeting expected to take
place at Ell Paso about the middle of
October remain to be carried out.
Suggestions have been made that
the two executives clasp hands under
q canopy erected midway of the in
ternatfona1 bridge at Ell Paso or that
they in turn visit either shore and ex-
tend their well wishes at those places.

AT THE OLD STAND.
Taft's Position on Corporation Tax Is
Unchanged.

Washington, July 15.-That Pres
ident Taft Stands right where he
stood all along" and will insist upon
the adoption of the corporation tax
amendment, is the substance of a re-
port made to the tariff conference to-
day by Senator AIdrich and Repre-
sentative Payne The leaders of the
senate and house were at the White
House late last night, having been
summoned by the president to explain
a persistent rumor that the corpora
tion tax proposition was in danger of
being dropped in conference. 1t had
been reported and not denied a ma
jority of the conferees were opposed
to the adoption of the measure pro-
viding for a 2 per cent tax on the net
earnings of corporations organized
for profit.
The announcement that the ad-
ministration would be satisfied with
a tax of one per cent and that the re-
draft of the amendment made by At
torney General Wickersham would
contain this change, did not remove
the objections entertained by the con-
ference The representatives of the
house protested against the federal
government; entering upon such a
new and radical method of raising
revenues"
Discouraging reports about the re-
ception planned for the proposition
when it should be returned to the
conferees determined the president to
get at the bottom of the situation and
learn if he could whether the senti-
strong enough to encompass its de-
feat
