Creating Wealth
for the State of Utah

By building its lines through lands then worth less than
S. per acre, the Union Pacific Railroad has aided in
increasing the value of those lands many fold
The assessed value of all property in Utah has increased
from O5,629 OH in 1900 to SIP l8O 65S in 1909.
There has been more important factor than the
Utah railroads in creating this enormous wealth.
The resultant prosperity has increased the value Of
the railroad
In 1900 the Union Pacific Railroad paid in the
State Of Utah amounting S2l 40939 In 1909 it paid

CASS LAKE MAYOR IS
BACK FROM WASHINGTON
Is Much Pleased With the Decision of
Secretary of the Interior
Ballinger.

Cass Lake, Mimi, Oct. 10
Mayor D. F. Dumas, who was
called to Washington a week ago,
together with other representatives
from Northern Minnesota, returns
en- today and - expresses himself
very much pleased with the de-
cision of Secretary of the Interior
Ballinger. Mayor Dumas states
that there is no doubt but that the
sale of liquor to Indians can be
prevented with the assistance of
the Federal officers and he will
do his utmost in bringing about
such a condition of affairs.
A short time after Mayor Dumas
returned from his trip east, he got
busy with subscription list to help
the fire sufferers along the northern
border. The citizens of Cass Lake
responded freely and in few hours
the mayor succeeded in collecting
nearly 5000. The money has been
sent to tie Red Cross society for
distribution among the needy and
homeless sufferers.

CONDITIONS At BAGLEY
MUCH EXAGGERATED
Mr.. Kaiser State. that Fire Could Not
Gain Headway as in Northern
Section.

A. Kaiser, cashier of the First
National Bank of Bagley, who was
in the city between trains today,
stated that the fire situation 50 far
as Clearwater county and Bagley,
were concerned, were greatly ex.
agerated. That at no time has there
been any danger SO far as any of the
towns are concerned and uptodate
no settler has lost any property by
fire. That there is no possibility of
a fire ever gaining much Roadway in
the county owing to fact that about
every quarter section has a settler
who has from 20 to 40 acres of land
under cultivation and at least 80
acres of his 100 in pasture.
The only fires that have attracted
attention are in the timber slashings
in Towns 143, Ranges 1888, where
logging Companies are operating.
These fires, however, are being we'll
taken care of by the lumber COM
panies who have 100 men back firing
and protecting their green standing
timber. Between these towns and
the settlements are hundreds of
acres of burned over lands which
act as fire break for back firing.

WIND SHIFT MEANS DESTRUCTION
Fifty Men Fighting Flames Which May
at any Moment Leap on
Toward Town
[BY F. A. .WILSON.1

I don't want to hot-air you,
general, but if the wind changes, the
village of Blackjack won't last
fifteen minutes" declared A. E..
Whiting, the logging and lumber
man to Adjutant General Wood, as
the governors special passed that
village yesterday afternoon.

could get, fighting the flames like
Trojans for three days, and if the
wind goes against US all will Ike

can to avert trouble, but I want to
tell you that it looks mighty serious
to US here"
Blackjack has been having trouble
with fires for the past week. There
is heavy curtain of smoke filling
the sky and Governor Eberhart was
much concerned over the dangerous
aspect, but it seems to be up to
Blackjack to save herself or burn as
conditions elsewhere appear more
in need of assistance. -.
General Manager Gemmell was
for the most part optimistic over the
conditions of the woods. He says
that there is now apparently less fire
than there has been for several days
past. However, the woods are fill.
led with smoldering blazes and with
.unfavorable weather. the results
may be disastrous.
The forests are very dry. The
marshes are dried up and Littlefork
river is the lowest it has been for
years.
Later reports show that the fires in
the vicinity of Blackjack are pretty
we'll under control and as the
hours pass by continue to appear
more favorable. The citizens of that
village are an unusually brave lot
and it would take most vicious fire
to overcome the fighting qualities of
its people.

FIRE FUND COMMITTEE
HAS BEEN APPOINTED
Will Commence to Solicit Money. and
Other Donation. at Once. Mail
to- Either Bank. :

A committee was appointed this
afternoon to solicit funds for the
fire sufferers. The committee con-
sists of A. P. White, "A. G. Wedge,
G, W.: Campbell, w G Schroeder.
w. w. Brown, C.. M. Bacon and w.
c. Klein, who started soliciting i'm
mediately. Any outside villages or
cities who desire to contribute to
this fund may do so by sending any
amount to either the Northern
National Bank, First National Bank
or Security State Bank of Bemidji,
where the funds will be taken care
of and given over to the committee.
Any donation of clothing, cooking
utensils or any necessary articles will
be gladly received by the Relief
Committee, whose headquarters is
the lower floor of the Odd Fellows
building on Beltrami and Fourth.
In speaking of the rumored danger
to Bemidji by fires, Mayor Parker
said: Z. ,
There is no fire within a radius
of twenty miles in either direction
from Bemidji, that we are aware of
at present. There is absolutely no
danger to the city and every pre-
caution is being taken by the citi-
zens."

CAR LOADS OF DONATIONS
Bemidji Women Active in Soliciting
For Fire Refugees.

Under the direction of Mayor
John c. Parker. Mrs. A. P. White
and Mrs. w. H. WYE, a systematic
canvas of the homes of Bemidji was
made and the response was so great
that additional help had to be Sc
cured to gather in all the donations
made by the liberal citizens of the
city.
Donations of every description,
including clothes for men. and
women, blankets, etc., were gath
cred together at the Armory hall.
Arrangements were completed for
the caring of refugees that were
expected on the late train Tues.
day evening. Plenty of beds and
bedding are in readiness
Preparations were also complete
to serve to these refu gees a hot din
ner upon their arrival at the Odd
Fellows hall. Up to the present
time, but few families who are in
destitute circumstances have come
to Bemidji for assistance. The con-
tributions that are in waiting at the
Armory hall will very likely be ship
ped to the fire zone unless there are
enough refugees here to make use of
them. -. l. i
Later in the day arrangements
were complete to house all donations
by the citizens in the Odd Fellows
building. A vote of appreciation by
Mayor Parker and the committee is
cordially extended to all those who
so literally came forward with aid
and assistance.

Mrs Knute Nelson Tells Story of Fire-Is STOPPING at
Rex Hotel With Her Sister Miss
=>s Christine Nelson.
SheYlin.Mathieu Lumber Company Will Commence Work
Of Building Homes for Employees at Once-Mill Did
.t@. Not Burn-Repairs Will be Made

Among those who were brought
in from the fire district last night
was Mrs. Knute Nelson of Spooner,
whose husband was at one time
superintendent of the Crookston
mills in Bemidji, but for the past
two years has been superintendent
of the Shevlin-Mathieu mill at
Spooner. Mrs. Nelson is accompanied
by her sister, Miss Christine Nelson,
who had millinery business in
Spooner, and lost her entire property
which was partly covered by insur.
ance. In talking of the fire at
Baudette and Spooner, Mrs. Nelson
said:
1T had been smoky for several
days but we did not become alarmed
until about four o'clock Friday after
noon, when we saw the dense smoke
coming from the fire in Pitt, and
even then we did not think we were
to be burned out but about $50 we
could see that the fire must be only
a few miles away. A half hour later,
! took my two babes out of their
beds:and dressed them and was just
ready to leave the house when my
husband came in. He had been
down to the mill to attend to the
furnishing of the water with which
to fight the fire. I stepped out of
doors and the wind simply carried
me off the porch. It was impossible
to take the children in go-cart as
the wind would hsve upset it, so we
had toscarry them across the river
to Baudette. -- - s.. 49,.
In spite of the fact that the fire
came from the west and that Baudette
is on the west side of the Baudette
River. Spooner was the Fl. st to be
burned, the wind suddenly changing.
This accounts for the depot at, Bau.
dette being saved as we'll as the saw
and planning mills in Spooner. Old
Spooner, which probably consists of
about a dozen houses and a couple
of stores also escaped the path of the
flames. ~-.-.- .~..-.. ~.
1t seemed providential that the
mill should be saved. That is the
one thing that will give the majority
of the people employment. The mill
will be idle during the winter as there
are no logs to saw but there will be
plenty of work cutting trees and pre-.
pairing timber for the mills as the
large timber, while slightly burned,
will make good lumber if cut during
the coming winter.
The Company had built sixteen
houses just recently, all of which
were burned. However. learn that
they are already hauling in more
lumber and will 20 to work at once
on new houses for the employees and
any one who is at all handy with the
hammer and saw will be put to
work.
Mrs. Nelson's parents live at
Moval Lake, about eight miles north
Of Bemidjl where she will spend the
next few weeks, while her husband
is building . temporary home. Mr..
Nelson lost his home in the fire
but was protected by insurance.

the fire zone, returned to Bemidji
Tuesday evening. Direct reports
from members of the party show
that the death list placed at a con-
servative estimate will not exceed
one hundred, many lives having been
saved through the efforts of home
steaders in seeking shelter in beds
of creeks and marshes. Additional
dead are reported as follows:
J. F.. Broten and family of nine.
Mr. Broten was formerly a resident
of Bemidji and will be remembered
as the section foreman on the Viii.
ton line.
William Roulin and family of ten.
Mattson Berg, family of seven.
Two men from Iowa by the name
of Simons, father and son were
caught in the fire Friday about six.
teen miles southwest of Baudette.
Both men made frantic efforts to save
their lives and succeeded in reaching
stream just in the nick of time.
Both men were badly burned. They
! were carried eight miles on
stretchers made of gunny sacks, over
piles of burned timber and logs.
From this point they were hauled
into the town of Baudette by team
of oxen and from there were at once
taken to the hospital at Virginia.
The father is 70 years old and
died shortly after reaching the hos.
pital. The son, IS years old, though
badly burned is expected to recover.
Chris and William Jorgenson of
Detroit were caught in the flames
near the north branch of Rapid
river. They made a run for the
water but became exhausted and fell
before reaching a place of safety.
One of the men succeeded in drag
cling himself into the river while the
other was unable to proceed and was
burned to crisp. The living brother
was taken to the hospital at Virginia,
and his condition is critical.
]. Fl. McClernan of Bemidji,
who is a government cruiser, met
these men before the fire seemed
at all alarming and advised them
to make for the village. They did
not think there was much danger
and established their headquarters
in shack near a creek. AS the
fire approached and was almost
upon them they attempted to save
the shack by carrying water from
the creek. -
Charles Harrington and George
Weber tell of very narrow escape
sixteen miles southwest of Baudette.
They managed to dig hole in the
soggy ground and buried themselves
until the fire passed over. They had
with them a rifle and of supply of
cartridges which were left lying on
the ground uncovered. The heat
was so intense that all the cartridges
exploded.
William Fay, James Ramsey,
Pine Tom," and J. Hanson were
the party who rescued the Simons
men. They left Baudette Sunday
morning, returning with their
patients Monday afternoon.
Wind Makes Clean Sweep.
From reports Of the relief party it
is stated that the wind has swept
the ashes and debris from the old
townsites of Spooner and Baudette
so clean that one would hardly know
that buildings ever stood there. Only
a few foundations remain to mark
the one-time sites of thriving villages.
Where lumber and logs were piled
nothing at all remains to tell the tale.
On Monday, twenty-seyen
bodies were buried at Baudette
cemetery. The bodies were placed
in rough boxes, one, two, three
