is THIEF RIVER-BAGLEY
G. N. ROAD CONTEMPLATED
g. N. Unloading Much Construction Material at Thief
River Falls and Rumors Are Rife Concerning Possible
New Lines of Road.

Some few months ago, the
Pioneer told of a surveying crew
that was working north of Bagley
"a crew of engineers that had no
connection whatever with the 500
corps of engineers that was sur
veying the Plummer-Moose Lake
right-of way; and later it was
stated that from general indica
tons that this crew was in the
employ of the Grand Trunk Pacific
railway, surveying proposed
route of road from a point near
Sprague, on the Canadian North
ern railway, IN generally south
erly direction to Bagley and thence
on southwark to New Ulm, and
connecting at the latter place with
systems of roads in which the
Grand Trunk Pacific has friends.
Not much has been heard of
this rumor, of late; and some
people we're of the opinion that
the crew of surveyors who were
working hap-hazard in Clearwater
county were in the employ of the
Great Northern railway and were
really locating a right-of-way from
some point northwest of Bagley to
Bagley.
There may be some semblance of
truth in the latter rumor, as the
Thief River Falls News tells of the
G.. N. unloading a lot of ties at that
place, and guessing that the company
may be contemplating the building
of a line ofrailway from Thief River
Falls to Bagley, the inference being
that this action is being taken to in
a measure counteract the building of
the 500 into the territory north of
Bagley and towards Bemidji.

One of the most important actions
taken by the board of county CON-
missioners at the meeting which
adjourned Saturday evening was the
adoption of a resolution, at the
suggestion of County Auditor Hay
ner, requesting the Minnesota State
Tax Commission to assess all prop
erty throughout the state in accord
ance with law, that is, at its full
value.
This request on the part of
the county auditor was made
after Mr.. Hayner had been looking
into the methods of taxation adopted
throughout the state, more especially
with reference to the taxation as to
real value of property in the south
ern part of the state and the per.
centage of valuation at which the
different counties of the northern
section are assessed.
This investigation brought out
that many of the southern Mime
sofa counties are paying 80, 40 and
as low as rs per cent of the real
value while the northern counties
(mon Especially Beltrami) are being
assessed at so per cent and even 55

The county of Beltrami was a
very healthy section of the U. S.,
during 1909, according to the official
record of vital statistics, as re-.
turned to the Minnesota State
Bord of Health and Vital Stastics,
an official report of which has been
received by Clerk of Court Rhoda.
H. M. Bracken, the state registrar
of the State Board of Health, makes
report to MI. Rhoda which shows
the record of births and deaths in
this county during the year 1909

further
Resolved, That the auditor be
instructed to forward a copy OF
these resolutions to the Minnesota
Tax commission and request that all
counties within the state be assessed
according to section 8O8, Revised
Laws 1906"
The board of county commissioners
has authorized County Auditor
Hayner to levy an auditors assess
ment on the logging road extending
north from Wilton, known as the
Wilton & Northern" road, and it is
stated that this assessment will
amount to approximately $4,000,
and extends back for considerable
period.
Prior to adjournment, the county
board authorized the reinsuring of
the county poor building and its
contents, in the sum of $15,OOO.
Beltrami county's famous white
horse (Which it is feared will become
veritabIe white elephant") was the
bone of contention at the meeting of
the board Saturday. The bill of
William Cassler for $50 for feed for
the horse since the time of the trial
to determine ownership, some time
ago, was laid on the table and the
county attorney instructed to enter
judgment in the case of the county
VS.. Cassler, and in the event of the
horse in controversy being recovered
the animal is to be taken by the
sheriff and placed under the care of
w. C. Schroeder, who is to care for
the animal or dispose of the same.

JUDGE M'CLENAHAN Is
BUSY WITH COURT CASES
Jury Was Discharged Saturday. Court
Cases Will Occupy Balance Of
the Week.

Having concluded all cases to be
tried by jury and dismissed the jury
the time in district court this week
is being taken up with trying court
cases; and it is expected that it will
take the balance of the week to dis
pose of the cases which Judge Nc
Clenahan has scheduled for trial at
this term. - y
The case of Mary A. Phibbs VS..
Israel LaFambroise was called this
morning: and findings were made
for the plaintiff, stay aof thirty
days being granted. r." ..
The case of O. J. Weekly VS..
Roger c. Spooner was dismissed.
The case of James Larkip VS.. Page
& Hill was tried and concluded just
previous to the noon adjournment.
The court found for the plaintiff in
this case. "sT ~
Chris Olson was brought before
the court and sentenced to pay a
fine of $25 or serve a term of thirty
days in the county Jail, for violation
of the liquor laws, while conducting
a saloon in the city of Bemidji.
There are several matters which
the court has under conJidsration,
in which findings have not been
made, but which will probably be
filed before Judge McClenahan
departs, at the end of the present
week. - 1-%
Judge McClenahan states that it
is not likely that the three judges of
the court (McClenahan, Wright and
Stanton) will be able to get together
to make their finals~fndings in the
cases which were brought to test the
constitutionality of the state fire
warden law until sometime in April,
probably at Grand Rapids, where
Judge Stanton is very busy with
court matters that will last we'll on
into the month of April. A finding
in these cases is awaited with inter
est by the representatives of the rail-
roads involved and also the state
fire warden's office in St. Paul.

go Laughs a Minute.

The Girl that's All the Candy"
which comes. to the City Opera
House next Monday is a scream
from start to finish. A most funny
mix-up starts at the rise of the cur
tain directly after the opening
musical number, and the entangle-
ment gradually grows worse until it
seems next to impossible to ever
unravel it.
It presents comedy of every des-
cription, Dutch, Irish, Blackface,
Tramp, Old Maid, Soubrette, ETC.,
and the mix.up is the funniest situa-
ton ever seen. You are bound to
laugh; you can't help it. A good

The News says of the suspected
G. N. movement.
What is the Great Northern rail
way company going to do? That is
what a lot of people living in this
vicinity would like to know.
This week train crews commenced
hauling ties to the material yards
near the location of the old depot,
and before the work is completed
in the neighborhood of 100000 ties
will be piled up there enough to
build 100 miles of road.
Great Northern officials an
nounce that these ties are to be used
to replace old ties on this branch,
but that hardly seems possible.
All of the ties of this branch,
with the exception from Thief River
Falls to Red Lake Falls, are practi-
cally new, and again this city would
not be the most convenient place to
pile up the ties, if they were to be
used for this purpose. n.
For some time past there have
been rumors in circulation to the
effect that the Great Northern was
going to build a line from this city
to Bagley and run a through passen-
ger train from Warroad to the twin
cities over this line instead of going
by way of Crookston. And then of
course the ties may be used for con-
structing road northeast of here.
There is no question, but that
the country northeast will soon be
occupied by a railroad, and while
it has generally been believed that
the 500 would be the road that
would construct this line, it is
possible that the Great Northern is
not going to take a back seat in
this section any longer

The City of Bemidji made an

bears out the statement that Bemidji
is a clean, healthy community.
There were 116 births and "a deaths
in this city during 1909, the births
showing an increase over the deaths
by over so per cent, which is sufi.
cient to indicate beyond question
that there is no occasion for fear
that Bemidji is possessed of the race

ABUSE OF ARMORIES.
Efficiency Impaired by Employment
for Non Military Purposes.

Impairment of the efficiency of the
organized militia by the use of armories
in certain states for non-military pur-
poses is charged in advices on the sub
ject received by the War Department.
The appropriation for armories to g. large
extent for such civic purposes as fairs,
exhibitions, meetings, civilian athletic
contests, etc, it is alleged. has seriously
interfered with armory instruction to the
detriment of efficiency in this branch of
the military service.
Col. Weaver, chief of the militia divi-
sion of the War Department, has brought
the matter to the attention of the adju-
tant general, citing. for the guidance of
others, the laws of several states which
throw the proper restrictions around the
use of armories. The military codes of
Massachusetts, Michigan. New York and
Washington are referred to as being
properly constructed in this respect, and
Col Weaver expresses the hope that pro-
visions of like nature may be introduced
in the laws of the states where armories
are too freely used for other than mill
tary purposes.

BISHOP HERE TOMORROW
COMES TO LOOK OVER AVA
TON MEET SITES.
Will Call at White House, and Aft
erWard Be Guest of Aero Club
and Chamber of Commerce.

Conrtlapd Field Bishop, president OF
the Aero Club Of America. will arrive in
Washington at 8 o'clock tomorrow
morning to look over the proposed sites
for the International aviation meet to be
held in America in October.
He will be met at the depot by a spe-
cial committee of the Aero Club and will
go to the White House, where he has
10 O'Clock. At noon he will be given a
luncheon and reception by the Aero Club
of Washington.
The next day he will be entertained by
the Washington Chamber of Commerce
at a luncheon and reception at 1 o'clock.
He will attend a reception and moving
picture show at the home of Mrs. Her
bert Wadsworth Tuesday evening
The visit of Mr.. Bishop to Washington
will practically settle whether or not
Washington gets the next aviation meet.
This will be the first International meet
that has been held In this country, and
the first one in the world, with the ex-
ception of that at Rheims last year.
Charles r. Flint, the original finan-
cial hacker of the Wrights, was in
Washington yesterday and spoke of the
probdDle development OF aviation In
South America. There is to be an ex-
position in Argentine. he said. some time
during the coming year and another In
Chile. to which the United States has
l.already promised to send a number OF
warships.
Aviation will be feature of both
these expositions. 1t will be the first
time that d heavier-than-air machine
has ever been seen in South America
Mr. Flint is interested In the develop
ment of the South America rights to the
Wright machines, and says that Mr.
Eddy of his firm has already looked
after the subject of aviation before both
the Chilean and Argentine governments.
