Teachers Institute at waldport

AASsAeuvo 0t W d1upOI
The Lincoln County Teachers
Local Institute convened at Wald-
port June 10. There was goodly
number of teachers and great
many more patrons and children in
attendance.
The forenoon session was called
to order by Superintendent Coin
and the subjects of Music, Song
books and Writing were fully dis
cussed.
At 1:30 p. m. all were ready and
and the work was opened by a
paper, The Teachers Relation to
the Community" by Miss Ewing,
which caused a hearty and lengthy
discussion. Prof. Wilson gave an
interesting talk on the Advantages
of the Union High School," which
should interest and arouse every
patron in the county. Mr.. Ready,
a patron of Waldport, handled his
subject with great care and caused
great wave of humor to pass over
the audience. Mr.. Glines' few re-
marks were spicy and left Miss
Ewing in serious turn of mind
over the to be purchased suit of
clothes" The subjects of Supple
mentary Reading, Government and
Teachers Salaries were made very
interesting.
The meeting was adjourned that
the teachers could avail themselves
of the opportunity to visit the
beach and recuperate for the even
ing session.
In the evening all were in atten-
dance at the exercises given by the
Sth and 9th grade graduates. The
band furnished excellent music and
the choir interspersed with few
very good and appropriate songs.
The people were favored by two
character sketches by Mr.. and Mrs.
Evens, which need no comment.
The eighth grade pupils were
Halcie Glines, Earnest Lebow, Err
win Hosford and James Coin.
Their papers were good and they
received showers of flowers. Miss
Ona Glines' oration was excellent
and it is hoped will not stop this
side of Harvard.
The people Of Waldport are to be
congratulated on their schoolhouse
and splendid teachers, and the
members of the institute wish them
to accept our heartfelt thanks for
the good time and entertainment
which we received and there is only
one regret-that there were so many
teachers in the county that were
not there to partake of the good
feast, both Intellectually and
socially.

lonely woods he had many adventures
which would have worried the aver
age man, but the veteran liked the
work and stuck to his job.
It was while filling the position of
driver of the Fosston-Bemidji stage
that Mr.. Doud became acquainted
with large number of the Indians
who inhabited the country around
Lake Bemidji, among whom was
demonstrating (Chief Bemldji),
with whom there sprung up friend

years until the aged chief died, some
four years ago:

Bemid]i with his family and filed on
a homestead known as Rocky
Point" on the northeast shore of the
lake, above where the present sum-
mer settlement of Lavina is now To-
Gated. Mr.. Doud decided to change
the location of his claim, and after
relinquishing his entry at Rocky
Point, filed on the land which has
since become famous as Diamond

settlement of Bemidji assumed a

was sold for several thousand dollars,
being now considered the most
valuable property within the city
limits for residence purposes, and
which is included in the thirty-acre
plat which the city of Bemid il is
offering as a site for the proposed
sixth state normal.
Mr.. Doud continued to live on the
property on which he proved up, al
though he sold the greater part of the
land reserving only a small plat,
where he could still look out over the
lake where hehad spent so many
happy days, there being much senti-

the sturdy old man whose family
were the first white family to locate
in this vicinity.
During his lifetime, Mr.. Doud
travelled very extensively. and he had
often stated that he had visited every
state in the Union, except Florida,
which state he expressed desire to
visit before he departed this life.

FREEMAN DOUD ANSWERS
TO THE FINAL ROLL CALL
The Veteran Soldier Pioneer Settler and Vigorous Home.
steader Succumbs, After an Illness Extending
More Than Two Years.

When the call came for volunteers
to form the great army of the north,
Freeman Doud was one of the very
first loyal supporters of the govern
ment to enlist, on November 20,
1861, becoming a private in Com
pany F, Eighteenth Wisconsin In
fantry. -a~- s.Z,~.,
Doud served with the Wisconsin
regiment during the entire war and
participated in many desperate
battles, including the battles of
Shiloh, being discharged and mus
tered out of service on March, 18th,
1865. .N
At the conclusion of the desper-
ate struggle between the North and
South, Doud returned to his home
at Eureka, Wisconsin, where he
remained until 1882, when he moved
to Crookston, Mimi, and took up
his residence at that place.
Shortly after going to Crookston,
the territory east of Crookston known
as Thirteen Towns" was opened for
entry and settlement, and Mr.. Doud
moved to Fosston and joined the
people who were hustling that town
and taking advantage of the boom"
to realize handsomely on their labors.
It was during the excitement over
the opening of the Thirteen Towns"
that enterprising settlers began to
visit the pine-covered country around
Lake Bemidji. A trading post was
established at Moose, part way be-
tween Fosston and Lake Bemidji,
and another was established on the
banks Of Lake Bemidji, G. E. and
M. E. Carson being the owners of

both posts and stores and supply
houses at these places. -..s.s - !.
A stage line was established
between Fosston and Bemidji, for
the purpose of giving means of COM
munication with the outside world
and for the purpose of bringing in
supplies. Freeman Doud was select
ed as the driver and manager of the
line, on account of his rugged
character and ability to handle just
such a difficult venture Freem"
proved equal to the task, and while
he was making trips through the

Struggling for two years past
against the infrmities of old age
and suffering from illness which was
first manifested during hard service
in the Union Army during the wal
of the rebellion, Freeman D. Doud,
pioneer, homesteader and civil wal
veteran, died at his home in this city
yesterday afternoon, at the ripe age
of three score and twelve (72) years.
Always a Woodworking individual,
of late years Mr.. Doud was visibly
affected by the results of his early
hardships and struggles to get to
the front in everything he undertook,
and he was practically an invalid
during the past two years. Mr..
Doud tried spending some of his
time in California in the hope of
beneftting his health, but the rigors
of his hard struggles had made in
roads on his once powerful constitu-
tiyn, with the result that he gradu-
ally grew more feeble, and of late it
has been rather expected that he
would succumb to the envitable
final breakdown.
Freeman D. Doud was born at
Hume, Alleghaney county N. Y, on
September 6 1886, coming of sturdy
family known for their determination
and progressiveness. Young "Freem"
inherited these determined traits
from his ancestors, and in his long
career they were his most prominent
personalities.
Young Doud lived at Hume until
he was in his teens" when his
family moved to Eureka, Wisconsin,
where the Doud's pioneered" with
others from the East" enduring
hardships and assisting in the work
of hewing out homes in the frontier
timber. -..-.
When the first growing" of the
dogs of war" began to be heard
between the North and the South,
Freeman Doud took an active inter-
est in the discussions and controvers-
les which preceded the memorable
struggle between the two sections of
the Yankee nation, and was regarded
as one of the most ardent supporters
of the North.

Waterworks Bonds Of City Of Bemidji
Legalized, to Prevent Possible
lnyalidation. i
ONLY ONE ATTORNEY THOUGHT
THERE WOULD BE ANY HITCH
Bonds Being Signed, and Money Will
Be Forthcoming Next Week.-New
System Is Assured.

Inc special act desired by the
city of Bemidji known as the cura-
tive act legalizing the waterworks
bonds issued by this city passed both
houses of the legislature yesterday
and the measure is now law, ac-
cording to City Attorney John Glib
bons, who received telegram to
that effect yesterday evening.
The passage of this act leaves no
vestige Of doubt as to the legality
of the bonds in the sum of $4,000
which we're recently voted by this
city to be used in providing new
waterworks system and providing
for the purchase of new chemical
fire engine for the use Of the fire
department.
The passage of this act was for
the purpose of satisfying one at
torney of the many who passed on
the validity of the bonds contain
ing the fire apparatus provision,
the attorney having expressed an
opinion that the provision would
invalidate the bonds. The attorneys
for Duluth and Chicago bond COM
panies expressed their opinion that
the bonds were valid in every par.
ticular, and a representative of the
Commercial Investment company
appeared before the city council and
deposited a certified check in the
sum Of $500, agreeing to take the
bonds at par (S5o,ooo) within thirty
days, and if they did not take the
bonds, then the check to be forfeited
to the city; and this regardless of
any Legislative action or other action
relative to the bonds.
Mr.. Elder Of Duluth, represent
ing the Commercial Investment
company, is in the city today and in
conjunction with the city officials is
preparing the bonds for negotiation.
The bonds are being signed by
Mayor Pogue, Treasurer Cell and
City Clerk Maloy; and as soon as
the bonds are signed they will be
deposited in the Lumbermens
National bank.
The bonds will be turned over to-
the Commercial Investment com
pany upon the payment Of the
$4,000 par value, which payment
shall be made prior to Friday of
next week.
The sale and delivery Of the bonds
insures to the city Of Bemidji new
and up-to-date system Of waterworks;
together with new tank and tower
and reservoir, as we'll as fire appara-
tus Of new make, and guaranteeing
to this growing community the best
waterwords and fire protection sys-
