GREENWOOD LOT DEEDS !. =.
LEGALLY WORTHLESS
No Association Has Been Formed, but
Deeds Are Signed by ''Presidenr
and Secretary"

Deeds to lots in Greenwood
cemetery are legally worth nothing
to the possessors Of these papers.
City Clerk Maloy called attention to
the fact that no cemetery association
has ever been formed in Bemidji,
and that the deeds to lots are given
out and signed by the mayor and the
city clerk as ex omcio president and
secretary when no such association
exists. The city charter provides
that the mayor and the city clerk
shall be officers of the Greenwood
Cemetery association, but no articles
of incorporation have been filed.
A few people who own lots in
Greenwood should get together and
organize an association, says Mr..
Maloy. The articles of incorpora-
ton, like any other similar organiza-
ton, should be filed and a seal pur-
chased. Then Mayor Parker and
Mr.. Maloy would become the real
ex.ofice president and secretary of
the the association. The present
deeds will probably have to be
legalized by an enabling act to be
passed at the next session of the
state legislature. ..-s

BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS
BY DR.. DAVID ROBERTS

Bovine tuberculosis is costing the
United States millions of dollars
yearly, not through the actual death
of tubercular animals but by the
tubercu]ar animals injecting the
healthy ones, thereby reducing their
actual value.
If all of the tubercular cattle in
United States were slaughtered at
once, the balance of the cattle would
be worth more than the tubercular
and healthy animals together.
1t is every mans duty, in justice
to himself, to determine positively
that his herd is free from tubercu-
losis. Wiping tuberculosis out of
the cattle of this country is too
large problem for handful of
people to undertake and for this rea-
son I contend that we will never
wipe tuberculosis out of the cattle of
our country until the live stock
owners are given the proper informa-
ton, both concerning the nature of
bovine tuberculosis and the, tubercu-
lin test. When this information
reaches the live stock owner, I am
sure that he will be more anxious to
wipe tuberculosis out of his herd
than anyone else, owing to the fact
that he is financially interested and
he and bis family first of all are
consumers of the products of his
cattle.
Supposing those who do not be.
lieve that there is such a thing as
bovine tuberculosis or a reliable
tuberculin test apply this simple,
harmless test to their herd and if
they find that there are animals in
their herd that have reacted to the
test, have such animals placed in one
stable and those that passed the test,

SPORTING NOTES
BEM|DJ| WINS THE FIRST
BASEBALL GAME HERE
Bagley Visitors Lose by Score Of 10 to
4.-LocaIs Are Long at the
Bat.

Bemidji won the baseball game
with Bagley Saturday afternoon by a
score of 10 to 4. The first game of
ball in Bemidji this spring being
won by the Bemidji high school
team, the locals are confident that
with good practice they can win the
high school championship for this
part of the state, their only regret
being that their old, formidable
rival, Grand Rapids, has dropped
out of the game for this season and
disbanded the Rapids" team.
The Bemidji lads started in by
tearing off three scores from the
visitors in the first inning. This
was followed by one in the second
and three again in the third. The
visitors pulled, in two scores in
each of the second and third stages
of the game, but were unable to
land more in the remainder of the
nine innings. Bagley, however, bad
a fine team, their infeld being
especially strong, and it was only
by faster work and hard hitting that
the locals were enabled to win.
Courtney, the visiting pitcher, was
easily the Bagley star.
The home outfeld played
great game, Knox and Bailey pull
ing down everything that came
within fair distance. Coach
Robinson's proteges showed ex-
cellent training at the bat, using
the stick to good advantage all
through the game. Gill pitched
in his expected form. The Bemidji
squad is now playing we'll and if
they keep up diligent practice,
they will have a team to be proud
of by the end of the season.

I do not believe the recent
statements made before the con-
gressional committee which is in
vestigating the high cost of living
that short weight packages and
agreements between wholesalers and
retailers are mostly responsible for
the present high prices. Colonel

as it really is, when he says that
most of the barrels are four pounds

anything impure or short weight, We

The Property Owners Federation

Gently sent communication to it:
members and other large premium
payers calling for vigorous, action on
the part of the public for the sup
preston of incendiarism, and against
discrimination in rates by the fire
insurance combine in favor of the
large millionaire properties. .
The following extract from the re.
port above referred to is significant:
The new rate on Montgomery
Ward & Co.'s main warehouse is
$3.50 per $1,000 insurance.
Rates have been materially re-
duced in the congested district Of
St. Louis, where, as in New Orleans
and Philadelphia, multi.millionaire
fires are constantly expected.
The large city conflagrations.
and the losses on low rated Jumbo
risks have ruined a large majority of

those that survive combine to assess

fires, it also makes war on incendi.
ary spectators, offering SUBJ
stantial cash reward for arrest and
conviction for that crime. In this
connection the writer of the state
ment makes the following comment:
Over one-half of our fire loss is
due to incendiarism for gain. The
does not sell out to insur-
ance companies but to the COM
munity.
In some New England states,
where nearly all fire insurance is
carried in mutual companies (that
steer clear of large city conAagra-
tions) the self interest created by
the mutual plan, reduces incendiar-
ism to the minimum and enable
those mutual companies, to return to
policy holders seventy or eighty per
cent of the annual premiums col.
lected. The interest on over
twenty-four million dollars of sur.
plus funds held by these mutual
companies also goes to the policy
holders."
Like Dumping Gold in the Ocean.
In commenting on the fire waste
of America one of the Minneapolis
dailies gives the fire loss for 1909
slightly under two hundred million
dollars, and further states:
It is worthy of comment that
while fire losses averaged slightly in
excess of $3.50 per capita, Frances
was 80 cents, Germany's 49, and
1taly's but IL cents. Had we had
Europe's per capita of 48 cents, ou1
total fire waste would have been less
than $4,000, 0OO-a saving of over
$150,o00,00O."

be reduced to the minimum under q

look. Bright for Kaiser.

|. st. Paul, May Pit looks now as
though Walter F. Smith, of Eveleth,
candidate for state treasurer, was
trying to fix up combination deal
to include Sam Iverson. He was
down this week making fences and
passed the talk out quite extensively
that Iverson was strong. and would
be nominated all right. He gave the
impression that Duluth would be
for Iverson. Everybody knows how
popular Iverson is there-not- and
If Duluth is for Iverson it is for a
good reason. The Smith candidacy
is not very pleasing to I. A. Caswell,
clerk of the supreme court. He
also halls from the eighth district,
and treasurer comes first. If Smith
should chance to get that nomina-
ton, it would make the road very
rocky for Caswell.
Reports reaching here still tell of
Albert Kaiser's strangth in the treas
urer fight. 1t is considered certain
that he will land the nomination if
he gets fairly unanimous support
from the ninth district. The other
candidates don't seem to be making
any Roadway, and three of them
might just as we'll withdraw now
for any good it will do them to keep
in the race. Smith is thought to
have a chance yet, and so has
George Hanscome of Foley, but the
only thing that could take the nomi-
nation from Albert Kaiser and give
it to either of these men would be a
shift on some of the other nomina-
tons, that would load up the ninth
district too heavy. If Dr.. Cole was
nominated for lieutenant governor
and Wells for auditor, that would
put Kaiser out of the running, but
the nomination of one without the
other would not hurt him much.

An explosion of dynamite cap
blew the flesh off the thumbs and
mutilated the fingers of John Lind.
vail, a thirteen.year-old boy in the
fourth grade of the local schools this
morning. The noise of the ex-
plosion and the consequent screams
of the young lad produced a panic
at the Central building and the
children rushed rapidly into the
halls aud out of doors. ~s.~~.
The boy was sitting quietly in his
seat in Miss Cosgrove's room and
was covertly picking the powder out
of a dynamite cap with a. nail.
He cleaned the explosive from two
of the copper caps and commenced
on third without realizing the i'm.
minent danger. The third cartridge
suddenly exploded in his hands,
blowing away the flesh on his
thumbs and badly injuring the fin.
gers on his left hand. A cloud of
smoke quickly assembled to the CELL
ing of the room.
John screamed in. agony as his
injuries began to pain him. Other
children in the room saw the smoke,
heard his screams and ran, crying
into the halls. The pupils in the
sneighboring rooms became excited
by the noise and in spite of the
efforts of the teachers to avoid it, a
panic ensued, the children tumbling
over each other in an effort to reach
the school yard. -.
Young Lindvall, Harold Lindseth
and Hans Alseth, three little boys
who live in Mill Park, secured sew
eral dynamite caps by getting into
the store room at the Crookston
Lumber company's mill yesterday,
while no men were around. The
boys found the caps in the room and
took handful with them. and it
was while playing with these caps in
school this morning that the acct.
dent occurred to Lindval].
John was taken to the St. An.
thony hospital, where his wounds
were dressed by DR.. Gilmore.
The lad told the doctor that some
one had shot at him through a
window, and would only admit
that the accident was caused by
the explosion when Superintend-
ent Richie appeared with the two
clean caps and the nail, which he
had found under the boys desk.
He then acknowledged that he
and the other two boys had
secured the dynamite caps at the

notch record in raising hogs.
Fourteen months ago he paid $12
for a SOW that shortly afterwards
brought a litter of nine pigs,
three of which were killed for
meat and six were sold for $105.
From a second litter Of nine pigs
Durkee sold eight for S116.47,
keeping the extra hog. The SOW
now has a third litter of nine
pigs, weighing about fifty pounds
each and worth not less than 81
apiece.
Counting the sow's progeny
that he did not sell as being
worth as much as those that were
sold, Durkee has received in four
teen months S324.45 from an or
iginal investment of So. The
SOW has brought him a gross in
come of $23.17 for each of the
fourteen months.
