.FATED n0USEF|NALLY BURNS
Following Wonzer Blaze Yesterday,
Building Is Destroyed Early Today.

At 4 a. m. today the Theodore
Wonzer residence at Beldon avenue
and Twenty-third street was des.
troyed by fire. Most of the contents
were also consumed. The house
was insured. ~.
Yesterday at noon the fire de.
partment was called to the Wonzer
building: It is long hard run but
the department made it in quick
time and extinguished the flames,
particular care being taken to pre-.
vent the flames from reminding.
The cause of the fire at that time
was traced to a defective chimney.
When the department arrived in
answer to a second alarm today the
building was doomed and nothing
could be done to save it How the
fire started this time is unknown.
At about the same time the Won.
ger home was burning an alarm was
turned in from the lake front where
an old boat was found to be on fire.

MAY SUE CITY FOR $7.44
Fire Hose Supply Company Wants
Money for Snaps Bought Long Ago.

The city of Bemidji is threatened
with a suit over bill amounting to
$7.44.
A communication from the Eureka
Fire Hose company, with offices in
the east, was read at the city council
meeting last night, in which the
company says that unless remittance
is made at once it will place the bill
in the hands of its Bemidji attorney
for collection.
1t all comes as the result of fire
department item of many months
standing. Snaps for the fire team
harness were ordered. The snaps
came but had chains instead of
straps, as ordered. The Eureka
company was out but had them
sent by Buffalo concern. The
chain snaps were returned by mistake
to the Buffalo house. The strap
snaps were accepted and the Buffalo
company paid. The Eureka CON-
pany then sent in bill for the strap
snaps, which by that time were in
the hands of their Buffalo connec-
ton, but the Buffalo house has failed
to send the snaps to the Eureka
firm. =. -. 49, :
The Eureka peoples communica-
ton says no answer has been re-
ceived to a letter sent to the city
clerk last May, and asks immediate
settlement.
The council directed that the
snaps sent to Buffalo be returned to
Bemidji so that the city can in turn
send them to the Eureka people.
In the meantime legal action to
collect threatens.

This brought out the remark that
there were a great many weeds
throughout the city and Mr.. Bisiar

but when it was discovered that
there was only one prisoner who
could work, and he refuses to be-
cause of stiff knee, it was left for
the street commissioners to do the
best he could.

Decides to Investigate.
NORTHERN DISPLAYS SURPRISE
Crowds at Hamline Marvel at Exhibits
Shown From Beltrami and
Adjoining Counties.

State Fair Grounds, Sept. THE
exhibits from northern Minnesota
counties which are being shown at
the state fair are attracting surpris-
ing attention and enthusiastic COM
ment of visitors from other states, as
we'll as neighbors from the southern
part of Minnesota, which section
has been most skeptical as to the
real agricultural worth of the lands
of Beltramj and other northern
counties.
Exhibits of all Kinds. =:
The exhibits shown by repre-
sentatives from Beltrami, Clearwater,
1tasca and Koochiching counties
include nearly everything in farm
products that can be raised north of
the Mason and Dixon line.
The display of corn, wheat, oats,
rye, clover and all kinds of grasses
which have been raised in the north
ern tier of counties compares favor
ably with, if they do not actually
excel, the similar exhibits shown by
any of the southern counties.
Rochester Man is Bad.
A resident of Rochester, who
gazed on a giant pumpkin in the
Beltrami county exhibit raised by
August Jarchow of Bemdji, narrowly
escaped being handled roughly
when he declared: .ss=-9.
"B'gosh, I'll bet them fellers
bought most of them exhibits in
Olmstead county,"
He was confronted by offers of a
dozen 500 to 81 bets; and when
Secretary Mackenzie, August JAR
chow and Charles F. Schroeder had
talked to him for ten minutes, he
agreed to 60 to Bemidji after the
fair and look over quarter of Sec
ton of land on which he could
raise corn like that"

sentiment in favor of Cary from
men who really count"
Thi. i. Strictly on the Q. T.

There is one thing Mr.. Eddy isn't
saying anything about and that is
the Taft and Roosevelt speeches at
the state fair grounds. Nh. Eddy,
because of his great prominence, was
given complimentary ticket. He
had a friend from Florida visiting
him, who had never seen either Taft
or Roosevelt. Mr.. Eddy is a per-
sonal friend of both. Now if the
former congressman should decide
that he had rather give his ticket to
a friend from Florida and 60 to a
ball game, instead of listening to
the president of the United States
and the country's foremost private
citizen speak, why that's Mr.. Eddy's
own business.

Duluth, Sept. THE belief prevails
among lumbermen and timber owners
of this city that many Of the disas
trous forest fires which are happening
in Northern and Northeastern Mime
sofa are of incendiary origin and there
is a quiet movement on foot to appre
bend and make an example of some OF
the guilty persons. Fires are original
ing in sections far removed from rail
roads and in. virgin wildernesses and
parties who start them are considered
guilty of incendiarism or criminal
carelessness. Lumbermen and timber
owners are planning a private fund

Taft. Addres. His Greatest Speech.
L believe the Taft address in St.
Paul was one of'the greatest speeches
he has ever made and the best any
one has ever made on the subject of
conservation. I'm not attempting
to discredit Roosevelt; he's the most
remarkable man the nation has pro-
duced and one of the most remark
able of all time. 1 don't know just
why, but he is. I am a Roosevelt
man but not a Roosevelt maniac"
+ Mr.. Eddy wasn't willing to admit
that James A. Tawney of Winona is
in danger of losing his seat in con-
gress, but did admit that the fight
is interesting" "a
Nelson Aids Tawney.
-A"Senator Nelson, who wasn't
presumed to be any too friendly to
Mr.. Tawney," said Mr.. Eddy,
"has come out fiat against Roose-
velt's charges in St. Paul and en-
dorsed Tawney, who, the senator
says, has done more for his district
than any other man could have
done, and declares Tawney is a
friend of conservation.
"Nelson's endorsement ought to
get Tawney thousands of votes.
OF course there is some discord in
that district and good many
democrats may vote for Tawney's
republican opponent for the nom1-

use-Tawney will win the nomlna-

Another interesting prediction
by Mr.. Eddy was made in the
assertion that E. S. Cary. the
Minneapolis criminal lawyer, who
was recently disbarred, and who is at
the present time in the Helnepin
county Jail serving a thirty day
sentence for contempt of court, will
be nominated as a candidate for

$4,000 WORTH OF
HAY GOING TO WASTE
Ditch Investigators Find Enough Grass
in Five Townships to Pay
County Debt
DRAINAGE CANALS NEEDED
Construction Would Make Lands Highly
Valuable for Farming Purposes,
Says Chairman Schroeder.


| we found half a million dollars
worth of hay going to waste in the
northwestern part of Beltrami county
enough to pay the coun ty debt"
said Chairman w. G.. Shredder of
the Commercial clubs judicial ditch
investigating committee, who, with
l.. F. Johnson, also a member
of the committee, has returned
from tour of five townships.
They make an interesting, and in
some ways surprising, report of the
conditions found, and both are en-
thusiastic for the construction of
bitches on the land visited.
Speaking of the trip Mr.. Shredder
said:
We went from Bemid il to Warren
where County Attorney Brown took
US in an automobile to the foot of the
drainage canal on section 20, town
156, range AZ. It is at this point
that the main ditch discharges into
the Thief River; it is sixty feet wide
at the bottom, seventy at the top
and twelve feet deep.
Up Canal in Motor Boat.
Engineer Hough took US up the
ditch in a. gasoline launch. Then
we went eight miles east across Mud
Lake, which is now practically dry.
We were to meet liveryman to take
us to Grygla, which is just at the
Beltrami line. but he lost his way in
the hay meadows where be wandered
about all day. We walked nine
miles, then farmer gave us three
mile lift and we caught the stage
into Grygla. We visited the town.
ships of Benville, Lee, Stevenson,
Oak Grove, Minnie and Hamre.
We found the land a dead
level, clay subsoil with no peat boys.
It is splendid land for farming pur-
poses and we estimated that out
of the five townships there would
be at least one township of hay.
This would mean $4,000 acres and
each acre would be good for two
tons of hay. In the cities hay is
selling at SIS ton and as high as
SIG is being paid here, but if this
hay could be sold at, say $40 ton,
it is easy to see what its value would
be. AS it is now it is not being
cut, and this, too. despite the fact
that a mower could be run through
it all. This land is owned by private
parties.
Ditch is NEEDED.
"A ditch. however, is needed to
take care of the surface water.
THAT the country in this district
is rich is shown by the creamery
figures which show that two years
ago the farmers received $22,5OO for
butter fat; $4,000 for it last year
and will get more than that amount
this year. A bank which started
there in May had deposits of S12.-
900 before it had been running sixty
days.
The land in this territory is
worth from $1.4OO to $4,000 for 100
acres. We were told that there is
not foot of homestead land left.
With the necessary bitches this
would be a rich part of Beltrami
county.
In Oak Grove township we took
dinner with Lars Somberg, who,
with his family, has $40 acres. He
is fifty miles from the railroad but
has nice house and is prosperous.
We saw many fine farm buildings"

Governor Fernald was given rousing
ovation which thrilled all within the
han and the cheers We're echoed by the
crowd outside. The Governor was al
fe"ted by the warmth Of his reception
and responded 10 the inspiring occa-
sion by one of the most notable efforts
of his campaign. AS he demolished
charge after charge brought by Demo
Gratis against his administration the
audience in their joy responded With
volleys of tremendous applause.
