sented, you might advise the holder
thereof of the situation, but do not
definitely refuse payment.
when you have completed the
redemption of warrants for given a
day, under the law you are required
to turn such warrants over to the
auditor and make settlement with
him. You will proceed so to do
each day. I have arranged with
the auditors clerk and later with
the auditor by telephone, that each
days warrants so delivered him,
shall on the next day be transmitted
to the Capital National Bank after
being marked cancelled by the
auditor for cancellation and check
ing with the list here.
II think an account should be
opened covering the bonds and
premium and another account should
be opened for interest, and those
accounts should be maintained until
the payment of the bonds is efectu-
ated. To the latter should be
credited the interest which accrued
on the bonds prior to their delivery.
Il will return on Monday the GER
titled check delivered to the auditor
and belonging to the security CON-
panies, unless I hear from you to
the contrary. I think that with the
deposit of the money and the accept
ance of the bonds they are justly
entitled to it. This leaves, however,
the question of the interest which
has accrued in the meantime, and
as to this, it has been agreed be-
tween the officers of the trust co'h-
panies, Mr.. Locke acting for the
Security Trust company and Mr..
Bryant acting for the Farwell Trust
company, that I am to ascertain
what the facts are, and if it appears
that the trust companies are to
blame for the delay, either they or
their agents, and that the county is
not to blame, the trust companies
! are then to pay to the county such
accrued interest. On the other hand,
if it should appear that the county
is in any way to blame, or its officers.
the county is to bear the loss itself.
'.As soon as I can get little time,
II will commence investigation of
that subject. I think that the ar
rangement is eminently fair and
feel certain that the rights of the
county are fully protected. Cover
nor Smith will be in Bemidji on the
5th and any problem confronting
YOU can be submitted to him at that
time.
I Yours truly,

Session Last Week, Adjourned
Saturday.

The Beltrami County Board of
Equalization for 1909 completed its
work Saturday evening, after three
days session.
The board had, previous to its

man, supervisor of assessments, to
visit the different logging spurs and
lakes in which logs were stored for
the purpose of getting estimates as
to the amount of timber at the sew
era] places for the purpose of COM
parison with the returns made by
the different local assessors.
After comparing the report of the
supervisor with the returns made by
the local assessors, the board found
that there was a difference in sew
eral of the assessments returned and
issued citations to the following
lumber companies to appear before
them and show cause why their
assessments should not be raised to
the figures given by the supervisors:
Kelso Lumber company, Turtle
River; Clark Pole & Tie company,
Bemidji; Beltrami Cedar & Land
company, Blackjack; w. T. Blakeley,
Farley; Kaye & Carter, Hines;
'Shevlin-Mathieu Lumber company,
Baudette; Douglass Lumber com.
1pany, Bemidji Lumber company and
'Crookston Lumber company, Be.
midi. :.
A representative of the Crookstou
Lumber company appeared before
the board and asked that that com.
pany's assessments on logs, lumber,
Hath and shingles in the Towns OF
Port Hope and Kelliher be cancelled
for the reason that the property was
not assessable in that town but
assessable in the City of Bemidii
Ross & Ross appeared before the
board and asked that their assess
ment of $4,000 in the Town of Port
Hope be cancelled for the reason
that the property is not assessable
in Beltrami county. ..-
The board passed resolution
authorizing the average assessment

examined yesterday before Judge OF
Probate M. A. Clark of this city in
regard to his sanity and was com.
mitted 10 the state asylum for the

ATTORNEY GENERAL TELLS
OF THE COUNTY BOND DEAL
Explains the Reason for the Delay in Securing the Funds
and Tells of Work Done in Disentangling
the Various Mix-ups.

County Treasurer G.. H. French
has received the following letter
from Attorney General Simpson
relative to the controversy over the
county bond issue and the manner
in which the same was settled:
&C. H. French, County Treasurer,
Bemidji, MINI.
Dear Sir:-Replying to your
favor of July 9th, I beg to advise
you that as you already know went
to Chicago and. there cleared up
any legal troubles that existed as to
the suficiency of the bonds required,
satisfying the attorney for the trust
companies that they were legally
issued and that they were the just
obligations of the county; that they
were then accepted by the trust
companies and the entire amount,
aggregating a trihe; more than
$195, 1000, became available for the
payment of the outstanding war
rants representing the floating in.
debtedness of Beltrami county,
together with the interest accrued
thereon. I wired the county attor.
ney of the. fact from Chicago Sc
that he might: be advised in the
matter. ".#
This being the situation, you
inquire as to what should be the
method of payment. The law speci
fcally provides that the treasurer
shall pay these warrants after per
sonal notice. I suggest that yor
give notice to the newspapers forth
with that you are prepared to redeem
| such claims. The claim when pre-
sented is to be paid, under the
arrangement made, by check upor
the Capital National Bank of .thi:
I city that is to say, you will issue
two checks, one for the principal o.
| the claim and one for the accrued
interest. This will necessitate the
computation of interest on each
claim, and this1applies to all Of the
claims named in the typewriter list
of which you and this office and thu
Capital National Bank have a copy
to the aggregate amount of S195,00(
and the premium thereon as dis
q tinguished from accrued interest
except warrants numbered 1886

1898, 1715S, 2O16, 4047, 1884
| 725o.
'As ito ttaese claims just men
toned, Governor Smith and l will
go over the matter as soon as h
returns and we may come to tn
conclusion to approve them also
but such approval is ywithheld 70
