The county board of commissioners
in session yesterday accepted the
bid for-the building of a steel bridge
between Section 8 and 10, Township
146, Range 81. This bid was made
by the Central States Bridge COM
pany of Indianapolis for the amount
of 1858.
The building of this bridge will
facilitate the highway traffic to a
great extent In this section of the
county. Another bridge proposition
is being considered by the county
board, also to be constructed over
the Mississippi river, at the city
limits. This bridge is to be built
jointly by the city and county, both
appropriating funds for that pur.
pose. This matter has been up
before the city council and has been
discussed at length by the board of
commissioners. Before this can be
done the city and county must get
together on terms and conditions
which should be an easy matter to
accomplish.
3. ~
The.county board let a contract
to Louis A. Hanson for grubbing
and clearing the county road from
Wilton to Roosevelt, distance of
two miles. This road is in the town
of Liberty.

According to F. ]. Anderson, the
superintendent of construction on
the Plummer- Moose Lake line of the
500 railway, there was turned up
for grading, along the line, last
month 100000 yards of dirt, which
is considered very good, under the
conditions which existed during
March. - ~.
MI. Anderson AYERS that there
will be much more doing" during
April, and that the estimated
$50, 900 yards will be doubled during
that month:
Hustle" is the general instruct.
ions which have been sent out to all
graders along the 500, of late; and
bridge builders have also been
reminded that time passes and
passes quickly, and old age comes
on apace, or words to that effect
At any rate, the work of getting the
line completed will be rushed from
now on. +

bank in this section of the state.
A. P. White, president Of the
Northern National. and w. L.
Brooks, cashier, are the pioneer
bankers of Bemidji, and they have.

This is the reason that the Northern

large sum of money in placing in
Bemidji the most elegant banking
rooms. considering size, to be found
in any city in Minnesota. This
new home" Of he Northern
National is elegantly appointed and
has every modern convenience for
banking.

its new home is one of the insti.
tutions of which Bemidjii is proud.

BELTRAMI co. WILL BUILD
BIG NEW STEEL BRIDGE
The Central States Bridge Company Of Indianapolis Bids
for Contract to Build Bridge for $2,63S Across
Mississippi River.

All bids for the construction of
the one and one.quarter mile road
at Hines were rejected, because of
the fact that the commissioners be-
lieved all bids to be exhoribtant.
The county auditor was instructed
to re.advertise for bids on this road.
The famous white horse( white
elephant), so long under consider
alton and discussion by the county
commissioners, and which has caused
the county considerable expense
during the past year, was sold for
30. so to Joseph Steidl. It is apparent
that the county seems to be re-
lieved by the disposition of this
animal; but it seems that there are
still some matters connected with
white horse that have as yet not
been disposed of.
An application was made by w
A. Getbred of Grand Rapids for
abatement of taxes in the Town of
Birch. His application was reported
favorably to the Tax Commission.
An application was also made by
Henry Plummer and Marias Morten-
son.
The county board met Tuesday
evening, taking up the routine of
business and is again in session
today.

will arrive as soon as conditions
warrant.
It is estimated that about FIVE
feet of soil and clay will have to be
stripped off before the shovels can
commence work. The ballasting
and stripping will practically mean
that about forty feet Of earth must
be removed. F.
Apparently the Great Northern

over this line and foresight by so
large a company as the Great
Northern means much for the future
of this community.

Of the Beltrami County Agricultural
association, which had been at first
contemplated. This decision was
reached at 4 joint meeting of the
members Of the fire department and
several local business men which
was held at the council chambers in
the city hall last night. H.
The business men appeared at the
meeting and suggested that the hold
ing of the races 50 far from the
center of the city would injure the
business of some of them during the
tournament. and as they were large
contributors to the tournament
fund, they would like to have the
races. etc, held nearer the business
section.
There was considerable discussion.
pro and con, and it was sug-
gested that the team races would be
held on the street in front of the
court house, which is exactly three
blocks from Third street, and that
the individual and other small races
would be run on some other street
nearer the commercial part of town.
The business men who were
present pledged their hearty sup
port in every way to the tourna-
ment, and were greatly pleased
that the department considered
the suggestion to bring the races
down into the city.
The Bemidji department will
hold another meeting in a few
days, when the running team that
is to represent Bemidji will be
selected and other arrangements
made for the preliminary work on
the tournament. ...a...
Very encouraging letters have
been received from the chiefs of
other departments which are men,
bers of the tournament association.
and there is every indication that
there will be large attendance of
firemen at the tournament.

THE PARKER ROAD
 SURELY COMING J. M. Parker Gives Out New Assurances for
 Pine Bluff.
ONLY BEEN DELAYED
Big Bond Issue WiID Be Made For Millions and He Urges All to
 Have Patience.

In statement Friday of the past
 week by J. M. Parker, of Monroe,
 La, general manager of the Arkan- sas, Louisiana and Gulf railroad, Pine IBluffians are assured of secur- ing the extension of that railroad : from Hamburg, Ark, to this city, and
 then on north to Hazen, Ark, to
 connect with the Rock Island. Through the Graphic, MT. Parker re- quests of the people of this city
 have patience and their hopes will
 be fully rrealized.
 The statement was made to c. H. Triplett Sr., who recently returned from a visit to Hot Springs. MT. Triplett met MT. Parker and his wife on the Southbound Iron Mountain train, which passed through this city Friday morning. He met Mir. Par
 ker at Little Rock and they talked the railroad proposition over for sev-
 eral hours while on their way to Pine Bluff.
 For some months little has been said or published of the Parker road, because of the inability of the local
 enthusiasts to secure any definite information from Mr. Parker, who
 has been quietly working in the east to bring about realization of his cherished project. It is known that
 Mir. Parker has never abandoned the idea but, notwithstanding several financial obstacles, he has kept peg ging away and many meetings of the directors and financial bankers of the A. L. and G. road have been held | in New York and Chicago of late.
 It is understood that the company is
 soon to float bonds aggregating
 more than $6,0O0,000 and if this is accomplished, the actual construction
 work will begin on the line to Pine
 Bluff. The subscription lists, con- taining more than $100,000 as the
 Pine Bluff bonus, will have to be ! renewed, but this work can easily be accomplished.
 MT. Parker has never misled the ! public here and he still is confident that he will make good. He wishes
 it understood that while the Parker
 road has been somewhat delayed,
 because of unavoidable circumstan-
 ces, it is coming and it will not be very long before definite announce
 ment will be made to that effect.
