1t would appear that the delay
caused by the trust company and
the Capital National Bank was
entirely uncalled for.
Mr.. French delivered the bonds
and has in his possession a receipt
for the bonds, and no objections
! were raised by the bank as to their
legality.
At the same time, the bank issued
a certificate of deposit to Mr..
French in the sum of $196, 341.13 to
the credit of Beltramicounty to be paid
on demand upon orders properly exc
cuted by the treasurer or his deputy.
This would indicate that there was
no hitch whatever in the arrange
ments for the payment of orders on
funds derived from the sale of the
bonds. Mr.. French assumed that
the legality of the bonds had been
passed upon. .
There has been clubbing ever
since and it appears that the money
is on deposit at the Capital National
Bank subject to the whims of the.
Security Trust company and the.
Farwell Trust company, rather than
to the order of the county treasurer
of Beltrami county.
Mr.. French wrote a sharp letter
to the Capital National Bank and
also the Security Trust company
asking for what reason they were
withholding the funds; that he could
see no reason why Beltrami county
should pay 1917 per cent. on it's
indebtedness and the Capita Il
National Bank and the Security
Trust company derive the benefit,
stating that he would give notice
and call in the warrants and draw
on the: bank, following with the
draft on'the 9th, the draft not being
honored.
Yesterday, the board of county
commissioners changed the resolu-
ton which they had adopted at a
previous meeting, at the, request of
the bond company, changing the
place where the bonds are payable
from the Central Trust company to
the Farwell Trust company, thereby
complying with the most recent
request, and apparently removing
every technical objection to the
turning over of the money due on
the sale of the bonds.
Assistant Attorney General Smith,
who is in the city, says that Attorney
General Simpson predicts that since
the adoption of this most recent
resolution, the funds will be released
at the Capital National bank and
subject to the order of County
Treasurer French Wednesday, or
Thursday at the latest.

WHY THIS DELAY GETTING
MONEY FOR COUNTY BONDS
Bond Company and st. Paul Bank Continually Raising
Technical Points Which Appear Trivial Conditions
--~ss+- - Have All Been Complied With.

Why has the Security Trust com
pany of St. Paul and the Farwel
Trust company of Chicago, togethe,
with the Capital National Bank Of
St. Paul, continually placed obstacles
in the way of County Treasurer
French in his efforts to draw on the
$4,000 and accrued interest which
was derived from the sale of the
Beltrami county bond issue, which
was purchased by the Security Trust
company?
Apparently, the delay has been
one essential thing which the pur-
chasers of the bonds have consider
ed necessary, and they have raised
all kinds of technical objections
to the manner in which the minor
requirements of the procedure of
the bond issue have been complied
with.
All OF the suggestions and regula-
tons promulgated by the trust CON-
pany were complied with, the last
requirement being a resolution
adopted by the board of county
commissioners at a regular session
and it now appears that the names
of the Security Trust company of St.
Paul and the Farwell Trust CON-
pany of Chicago were not placed
in their proper positions. This was
no fault of the county board, as
the resolutions were furnished by
the trust company and were adopted
exactly as given to the commission
erS. 49,.
The trust company claimed that
its legal representative at Chicago
would not approve the bonds until
the resolutions were changed. This
wss appare ntly child's play, and
was no reason why the money had
not been forthcoming.
In order to bring the matter to
head" County Treasurer French
made a draft, last Friday, on the
Capital National Bank of St. Paul,
through the Lumbermens National
Bank of this city, and for the pur-
pose of placing the bank on record
whether that institution would abide
by the certificate of deposit issued
to Mr.. French and pay checks as
drawn by the county treasurer. The
draft was refused payment.
On July 9 the Security Trust COM
pany wrote letter to Mr.. French
saying that they had received a
telegram from the Farwell Trust
company OF Chicago, which is
party to the bond issue, saying that
they expected to write that night
releasing the Beltrami county funds.
Mr.. French stated that he received
no notice of the release of the money.

struction of cement walks within
the city limits. and City Attorney
Gibbons was authorized to draft
such ordinance and present same at
some future meeting.
The committee having in charge
the buying of additional hose for
the fire department reported that
500 feet of hose had been received
from the Eure ka Fire Hose company
and that it was not up to the stand
ard, either in weight or texture. The
council authorized the return of the
hose to the Eureka company.
The council decided to defer until
next spring and putting in of a
waterworks system for the use of
Greenwood cemetery, this action be-
ing: based on report submitted by
City Engineer Stoner, in which Mr..
Stoner stated that 800 feet of the
~ inch pipe could be laid from the
end of Fifteenth street to the Gem
terry at approximately the same cost
as putting in windmill, digging a
we'll, etc, for the cemetery could
be done. This system would be in
stalled early next spring.

1t is the experience of all news

the man and the more important his
position, the greater the Difference and
consideration he shows newspaper men.
And this is not usually from Il selfish
motive, but because big men in high
places almost invariably have a keen
perception of the Importance of tho

There are. of course. black sheep In

Charles A. Dana, one OF the greatest
and most scholarly of journalists, used
to say there was no calling demanding
more brains, energy and character than
that of the newspaper reporter, or one
more worthy of respect and considera-

many able men who have never them
selves written for the press, and so may
be regarded as unbiased
