.BEM|DJIANS PAID THEIR
TAXES QUITE PROMPTLY
Collections on Last Day Of Grace"
February 28th, Witnessed Rush
to Liquidate. -

The citizens of Bemidji as a
whole, were quite prompt in paying
their taxes, this year, prior to
March /, and the collections made
by County Treasurer French, from
Bemidji folks" were gratifying to
the treasurer. .... II.
The total amount of the personal
tax levy of the city of Bemidji for
1909 was $28.524.52, and of this
amount $27,465.51 was collected
before March 1, leaving a balance
of only $1,059.01 which had not
been "liquidated" the first day of
March.
Since the first Monday in Janu-
airy, 1910, the collections of city per.
sonal and real tax have been $780,
O65.75.
Mondays collection for taxes at
the county treasurer's o fiji c e
amounted to $11,850.41.
On April 5th the lists will be
turned over to the clerk of court,
who will in turn make out tax war
rants and give the same to the
sheriff. the latter, on April 23rd,
enforcing collection.
Beginning March 1, penalty of
10 per cent is added to the original
tax, and after April 3rd, the clerks
fees become part of the tax, and
when the sheriff secures the warrant
for serving on the tardy taxpayer,
the sheriff's fees aud emoluments
are tackled on, which makes a con.
siderable burden. In the meantime,
the county treasurer's Office is open,
at all reasonable hours, to receive
funds in payment of taxes.

FOR THE MARCH SESSION

First InstaIIment of Abstract
of the County.

The members of the Board of
County Commissioners of Beltrami
county, with the excep ton of
Chairman Viggo Peterson, met at
the court house this morning for
the purpose of holding the March
meeting of the board. Because of
the absence of the chairman, how
ever, the meeting was adjourned
until 100 o'clock this afternoon,
at which time the board took up
the consideration of large amount
of routine business which had &C.
cumulated since the last meeting.
August Doenitz of Duluth, who
has contract with the county to
furnish set of abstracts prepared un-
der his particular system, met with the
board of county commissioners this
forenoon and delivered to the board
books containing the abstracts of all
the townships (seventy~four in num-
ber) in Ranges 80, 81, 81 and 80.
The books are splendidly prepared
and the board is much pleased with
them.
The preparation of these abstracts
occasioned much research of the u.
S. Land Offices at Crookston and
Cass Lake and also the office of the
secretary of state at St. Paul.
They contain descriptions of
practically every tract in the town.
ships mentioned, whether home
steads on which final proofs have
not been made, Indian land, state
land, or land which is now subjected
to taxation.
Speaking of the benefits that will
accrue to the county through the
preparation of the Doenitz abstracts,
Mr.. Doenitz predicted that the
work, when completed, would save
to Beltrami county fully $4,000 in
taxes.

auditors suggested the signing of an
agreement by which the Marshall
county end of the ditch would
be completed before the work was
commenced in Beltrami county. AS
it would take at least two years to
complete the Marshall county end
of the ditch, County Auditor Hayner
objected to the agreement, stating
that he based his objection on the
fact that, under the desired agree
ment, Beltrami county must pay its
proportionate share of the expense
of the construction of the Marshall
end of the ditch. (Taking as
ratio the sum of $11, Beltrami
county's share of the expenses of the
ditch is 81. while that of Marshall
county is ST.
Mr.. Hayner insisted that the
work must begin in Beltrami county
simultaneously with the work in
Marshall county, if it was at all
possible to get the supply of coal
along the route of the ditch in
this county; also insisting that,
in any event, so per cent of Bel
trami county's end of the ditch
must be completed in the fall
of 1911, and that the entire ditch,
with its latterals, must be finished
by the fall of 1912.
Mr.. Hayner also secured a change
in the plans of the construction of
the ditch which, it is said, would
benefit Beltrami county fully $4,000,
aside from the many other benefits
pertaining to the construction of the
ditch. . ( s<ease 5s.s ~
The Northwestern Drainage CON-
pany will have eleven ditch machines.
or dredges, working in connection
with this ditch, and the company
will begin Immediately on the pre-
liminery work of hauling coal and
distributing it along the line; and
will also construct wagon roads
running northwest from Red lake,
to be used in the hauling in of
supplies. .
This ditch is one of the most
gigantic drainage bitches ever under
taken in the country, and will drain
some 200 sections of land.
The land benefited lies between
Town 156 north and range 80 west,
and extends west to Town 155, range
43, which covers distance of over
forty miles on an airline.
The benefited townships in, Bel

townships.
The benefited townships in Mar

concluded that II is easier 10 find a good

MORE PAY FOR Mr.. KNOX
Secretary of State to Get S12,
600 After March 4.
From The Tribune Bureau

Washington. Oct. 1S-After March next
Secretary Knox probably will receive $1,000
a year. a salary equal to that of the other
members of the Cabinet. This has been
provided for in the State Departments es-
Inmates for Incorporation in the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation bill.
Being q member of the Senate when
$4,000 a year was added to the salaries OF
Cabinet officers Mr.. Knox was barred from
accepting the office Of Secretary Of State
by the constitutional provision that no
member of Congress may accept an office
the emoluments of which have been in
creased in the term for which he was
elected. In order that ne might be eligible
for the higher post Congress repealed that
part of his salary increase applying TO the
office of Secretary of State.
Secretary Knox's term as Senator would
have ended on March 4, 1911, and 1t Will
then be in the power of Congress to in
crease his salary from 5000 TO $4,000 a
year which undoubtedly will be done

DIVORCED MAY NOT WE'D
Episcopal Bishops Repeal Provls-

NEGRO BISHOPS ARE BARRED
DR.. Dunn, of Virginia, Terms
Emancipation of the Race "a
Dire Disaster"
IRv Telegraph to The Tribune. ]

Cincinnati. Oct. 1S--The House of Bish
ops Of the Protestant Episcopal Church. In
convention here. repealed to-day the sec
ton of the canon on marriage and divorce
permitting latitude of clergymen in renar-
rying persons who have been divorced. the
canon as IL now stands places Such mar
riages outside the pale of the Church. 1t has
been the rule of the Church to permit the
marriage IF innocent parties 10 divorces
However. under the new canon, clergy
men are instructed that If any of their
parishioners who have been divorced wish
to marry again they must have their bonds
tied outside the Church and with no Epis-
copal minister taking part in the cere-
mony.
The bishops point to the fact that thou
sands of Episcopalans have obtained
divorces in the last few years and that
many hundreds of these PERSONS have re-
married. either once of twice. They also
intimate that the divorce laws in this
country are. on the whole. bit too Ienient
and hold that divorces should be issued
only 70 those who have been mismated
and find no possible way to live together.
To these persons. it is believed. remarriase
will not appeal so strongly. and they will
not desire the services of the Church 10
remsrry.
1t is pointed out that the only way t.
cut down the remarkable number of d.
vorces in this country is to have all the
churches combine and refuse to remarry
divorced persons. The bishops believe that
while there may be many cases of legitl
mate separations the laws are SO easily
evaded that within the next few years tbs
number of divorces will be doubled.
The Church does not wish to make d.
vorce impossible, but believes that insult
ficient grounds are often brought UP as
reasons for divorce.
An amendment to the constitution OF
the Church calling for the establishment
of missionary districts along racial lines
of Deputies.
The negroes have long wanted a bishop
of their own. but the vote to-day was OF
such a character as to quiet any sugges-
lions along this line that might be made
in the near future. The Rev. DR.. Joseph
Dunn, of the diocese of Southern Virginia
in speaking against the adoption Of the
amendment. said:
The emancipation of the negroes was G
dire disaster, as the negro at that very
time was in need of all the teaching and
help that could be given him by his white
brother They lost all of this, and the
Church has forty-f1ve years of misguidanct
to undo.
The negroes cannot grasp the idea of th'
Church as yet Their religion at the pres
ent time is mostly emotional, and believe
hat the passage of this amendment would
be fatal in regard to the negroes
