pie will prove very interesting, as
the consolidation of rural schools
movement is growing rapidly all
over the United States. The school
at Mcintosh has a national reputa-
ton by reason of Professor Dunton's S
activity in agriulctural work.
Professor Dunton is a member of

TO SECURE COOPERATION
OF BEET SUGAR FACTORY
Bemid Commercial Club Appoints Committee to Confer
With Manager Chaska Factory.-Will Be Asked to
Address Mass Meeting Here.

The Bemidji Commercial club is
determined to do everything posi-
bic to secure for Bemidji a sugar
beet factory and will leave nothing
undone during the next few months
to bring the matter to definite
point where the feasibility of putting
in factory here will be demon
strated to the entire satisfaction of
the capitalists who are financing the
different factories throughout the
United States. These capitalists,
for the most part, are residents of
New York City, and they control
the management of large number
of sugar beet industries.
At meeting of the local CONNER
cial club held recently J. ].
Opsahl, Al. H. Jester and G. E. Car
son were appointed as committee to
attend the Minnesota Conservation
Congress, which will be held in St.
Paul March 16-17.1S, with instruc-
tions to, at that time, consult F. H.
FlageI, president of the Carver
County Sugar company, relative to
the building of a beet sugar factory
in Bemidji and to request him to
visit Bemidji and discuss the matter
of raising sugar beets with the
farmers of Beltrami county, who will
be asked to attend mass meeting
for that purpose.
The Bemidji daily pioneer., 1910-03-04

The commercial club is desirous
of demonstrating to the Carver
County Sugar company, at the
Chaska factory, that sugar beets
raised in Beltrami county are unex-
celled in their production of sugar;
and an attempt will be made to Sc.
cure an emergency rate for the pur-
pose of shipping sugar beets from
this county to the Chaska factory,
where the beets can be thoroughly
tested and a demonstration made of
their most excellent quality.
A cooperation of the M. & I. rail-
way and the N. P. Railway is necess-
ary in order to secure this "emer-
gency rate" and w. H. Gemmell,
general manager of the M. & l., has
written to J. ]. Opsahl that the N. P.
has cantract to handle 5000 tons
of beets to be shipped from Boze-
man, Mont, to the sugar factory at
Billings, Mont, to demonstrate
whether the Bozemen farmers can
produce satisfactory sugar beets,
and whether it would be wise to
build sugar factory at Bozeman;
and Mr.. Gemmell desired informa.
tion from Bemidji people as to what
was wanted from the railway COM
panies in the matter of an emergency
rate from Bemidji to Chaska; that

Of Thief River Falls.-His Mother Was Here
Today Investigating the Case.

The identity and previous resi-
dence of Jesse Mots, who was
burned to death in a camp in Chester
Township, Polk county, on the night
of February 10, has been positively
proven by John Mendell and wife,
who are in Bemidji today, they
ascertaining that young Mots was
the son of Mrs. Mendell, being a
child born to her when married to
her first husband.
On Saturday night, February 10,
Camp 6, which was practically
deserted; was destroyed by fire and
the badly charred body of an
unknown young man was found in
the ruins next morning.
Coroner Stenshoel of Crookston
visited the scene of the camp Tin

the new 500 railway right-of-way)
and investigated the cause of the
fire and the death of the man whose
body was found in the smouldering
embers of the fire. Mr.. Srenshoel
ascertained that young man named
Jesse Mots had been working in a
500 railway company's camp, oper-
ated by a man named Thompson,
and that he. had left the camp. The
young fellow was traced to a post.

PROF, ,DuNTON WILL SPEAK
ON the RURAL SCHOOLS
Mcintosh Superintendent and Prof. A. J.
Mcclure Will Be Here on
q @-."E March IL.

Through the efforts of w. R.
Mackenzis, Prof. A. M. Dunton,
superintendent of the State Agricu
tural High School at Mcintosh,
will be in Bemidji on Saturday,
Mar. IL, and address mass meet
ing of farmers and others from
different parts of Beltrami county on
the subject of the consolidation of
rural schools and the teaching of
agriculture in these schools and also
other high schools.
For more than a year past, Mr..
Mackenzie has been urging upon
the township officials of Beltrami
county to consolidate their schools
and thereby add to the usefulness
of the county schools by eliminating
the small school house and building
a central school, where more ad-
vanced studies could be taught in
both the common branches and be
adding agriculture.
In furtherance of his ideas, Mr..
Mackenzie has secured Professor
Dunton to address the people of Bel.
trami county on a subject in which
he is noted as an authority. Pro-
fessor Dunton was the originator OF
the idea embraced in the Putman
bill, the passage of which resulted in
the forming of ten agricultural
high schools during the past year.
Professor is strong advocate Of
the consultations of rural schools

COUNTY BOARD IS BUSY
WITH ROUTINE BUSINESS
Considering Building Bridges Over the
Mississippi River East of Outlet
Of Lake Bemidji.

The board of county commissioners
have been wrestling with a large
amount of business, since they con.
vened yesterday, and indications are
that they will not be able to finish
their work for this meeting before
we'll on into tomorrow, even with a
session tonight.
Yesterday afternoon a delegation
appeared before the board from the
Bemidji Commercial club and took
up the matter of constructing OF
continuing the Wilton road towards
Bemidji and also the matter of
building bridge across the Missis.

Bemidji.
The board was favorably inclined
to the proposition of extending the

northeast corner of the northwest
quarter of section 33, Eckles town.
ship, east to a point one mile beyond
the township line and thence south
ward into the city of Bemidji.
The commissioners stated that
they were ready and willing to CO.
operate with the city of Bemidji, al
any time, on the proposition of build
ing a bridge at the Mississippi out
let, the county to pay half the cost
the city to pay the balance.
Plans are submitted to the boarc
for the construction of a bridge
across the Mississippi river between
sections 8 and 10, at point abou
800 feet below the power company''
dam, and the board will ask for bid'
for the construction of stee
bridge and also for the construction
of wooden bridge, according t
plans and specifications furnished
by the county surveyor.
The board passed a resolution
requesting the postmaster of Bemidj
to deliver all mail addressed to thu
county auditor of Beltrami county t.
the county auditor, whether the
same bears the name of John Viii
mann or any other name.
The board rejected the bid sub
mitted to clear the brush from {
proposed road in the Town o
Liberty, as the bid was considered
as being too large.

Representatives of the N. P. and
M. & I. Railway companies will be
invited to participate in the mass
meeting of the farmers and discuss
with Mr.. Flagel, the farmers and
the Bemidji Commercial club the
matter of an emergency rate for
shipping beets from Bemidji to
Chaska.
The recently.organized North
Central. Minnesota Shippers associ-
alton will cooperate with the Com
mercial club, Railway companies and
the Beet Sugar Factory at Chaska
in securing the raising of sugar beets
in this county for demonstration
purposes.
It is the intention of the shippers
association to hold a meeting at
Blackduck in the very near future,
when the individual members of the
association will agree to raise one
acre of beets at each station along
the right-of-way of the M. & I.
Railway company, or at least enough
beets to fill a car at each station,
which will be shipped to the Chaska
factory.
This idea, if carried out, would
give crops of beets raised in different
parts of the county which would
demonstrate the quality of beets
raised on different soils of Beltrami
county; and which will furnish the
beet sugar factory with the very
best of information as to whether or
not Beltrami county, in its entirity,
cannot raise sugar beets second to
no other section of the United
States.
