the roll of bills and threw them be-
tween two buildings. He gave a
description of the buildings and the
officer journeyed there to investigate.

MONIES DUE FROM STATE
FOR ROAD IMPROVEMENT
County Board Informed of Amounts Coming
from Both the State Auditors Office and the Mime
sofa State Highway Commission.

At a meeting of the board of
county commissioners, yesterday
afternoon, County Auditor Wilmann
reported that it had been discovered
by the state auditor and himself
that there was the sum of $1,000
due to the county of Beltrami from
an appropriation of $1,000 made in
1908 by the state to be used in the
construction of roads and bridges in
the county. It appears that only
$500 of this amount was used and
that the unused $1,000 is available.
The board authorized Roy K.
Bliler, county surveyor and super
intendent of roads, to certify that
the amount of $1,000 had been
expended on the Kelliher-Shotley
road under the contract awarded to
0. B. Olson, which would place the
county in position to draw on the
state for the $1,000 balance due on
the 81, 800 appropriation.
The county auditor also submitted
a letter from the state highway COM
mission in which it was stated that
the sum of 1888 was due Beltrami
county from a state appropriation
for roads and bridges for the present
year.
In order to obtain this amount
the county must expend three times
the 1883; and it is believed that
by November 20, when all county
road contracts are required to be
completed, it will be shown that
Beltrami county has expended the
sum of $3.50 (three times the

The committee of the Bemidji
Commercial club, which has had
charge of the matter of securing the
500 for Bemldji, has worked indefat-
igably, and from the outset of
their labors. were determined that
nothing should stand in the way of
getting this great independent rail-
road for Bemidji.
There are still some pieces of
land on which final options have
not been secured, but it is expected
that these will be gotten within
very few days.
The committee has been hustling
in every conceivable way to secure
funds and, with the usual Bemidjl
spirit, the members of the committee
are determined that every citizen,
whatever his walk in life, shall do
nate his mite:and the result is indeed
fattering.
This city, whichis one ofthe young
est of the smaller progressive cities
of the state, will have to its credit
the act of raising about $4,000 for
the securing of a right-of-way
through busy city for an independ-
ent railway, giving to its citizens
the very best railway facilities of
any place in north-central Minnesota.
No doubt the actual work of
stalking out the exact route of the
500 approaching and leaving Be-
midi will be completed within the
next ten days and ere snow flies
500 operations. will be very evident
here.
The Grand Rapids Herald-Review
says of some work which the 500 is
doing in the vicinity of Cohasset:
"Cohasset is assuming great i'm
portance as shipping point, both
by rail and water. The 500 line,
who are commencing TO build new
railroad from Thief River Falls to
Duluth, have shipped in dump cars
and other tools and material, which
will be shipped by boat to McCor-
micks logan Some two hundred
cars of other equipment will also be
shipped in the same manner.
Arriving at the logan the mater
ial will be unloaded and hauled over
land to the point where they will
begin operations, which is about
twenty miles distance from the logan.
Capt. Wards steamer, the Undine,
has the contract for the hauling.
Sutton & Mackey are unloading
several carloads of their big camp
outfit, which they are putting in west
of 'Sherry's arm of Pokegama lake.
Capt. Ward also has the contract for
hauling this outfit by boat from Co.
hasset."
