BY Taking Up Bonds Six Years and
Nine Months Before Maturity
Prize is Won.
SATERLEE LICENSE IS REFUSED
Request to Sell Liquor Near School
House in Town of Nebish Has
to Be Denied.

AS a result of business sagacity
and foresight on the part of the
board of county commissioners, BEL
trami county is $3.50 richer than it
otherwise would have been.
The commissioners, before adjourn,
ing their September meeting which
convened on Tuesday and continued
in session until yesterday, voted to
take up $685. bonds which would
not mature until June 1917. This
can be done by paying a premium of
1925. The money for the transact
ion is to be taken from the county's
sinking fund.
The bonds to be thus liquidated
were due to run six years and nine
and the interest which is five per
cent, saved, after the premium and
interest which the sinking fund
money is now drawing, is deducted,
leaves the county a clean pickup of
$3.50.
This is the first time that this
county has ever taken up bonds be-
fore their date of maturity and is a
striking example of the economies
and business like methods employed
by the present board.
On motion of L. 0. Myre and
strongly backed by w. G.. Schroeder
who second the motion, the auditor
was instructed to consumate the
transaction.
The commissioners approved the
bond of the Blackjack bank for $780,
900. A hearing on the petition for
Taylor township road was set for
Oct. 26.
The bond of the First National
Bank at Cass Lake in the sum of
$4,000 and a like bond for $780,.
900 of the First National bank at
Tenstrike was approved.
The application of Carl N. Sat-
erlee for liquor license in the town
of Nebish was rejected on the
ground that the proposed saloon
would be within 1900 feet of a
school building.
The Application of Horace Kann
for an abatement of taxes was re-
ferred to the state tax commission.
The auditor was constructed to
draw warrant from the road and
bridge fund in favor of Charles
Carter for work done on state road
No. a to the amount of S629.24.
On motion of Commissioner
Schroeder the report of M. D.
Stoner engineer on judicial ditch
No. 2 was accepted. Peter Nehl,
contractor on judicial ditch No. 2
was voted a payment of 81, 300.

ALL AWARDS ARE NOW MADE
Horse, Auto and Other Races Mark
Closing Day of Successful EXPOSE
ton Here.

With another large attendance,
the third and last day of the Bel
trami county fair is coming to a
successful close.
The awarding of premiums and
jndging of stock has been completed
by experts from the State Agricult-
ural and other state schools who de-
clare the exposition here to be the
most remarkable in some ways of
any county fair they have ever
witnessed.
A. ]. Mcclure, superintendent of
the Northwest Experimental Farm
at Grand Rapids, says:
There has been an increase of
200 per cent in the dairy exhibits
here over last year. The ring of
dairy sires are as fine as at any
fair, even in southern Minnesota,
that I have seen this year, and the
exhibit here is running to the
Guernesy breed, which has been
especially fine.
The plan of the exhibit here this
year is the best arrangement have
ever seen at county fair"
Forrest H. Sargent, of the College
of Agriculture. who assisted in the
judging of the stock, said:
"This IS my first visit to north
ern Minnesota and l want to say
that the fair was surprise to me,
especially the fine showing in
dairy stock. The dairy stock
shows that Beltrami county is al
ready raising stock that will do
credit to any state tair. I found
the competition keen in several
classes of pure bred stock. The
hogs, sheep and poultry also in
Dictated that the farmers here are
prosperous and are making splen~
did advancement.
]. V. Baily, of the Greenway
Fruit Farm of Newport, Minn., a
recognized authority on the grow
ing of garden vegetables, and one
of the judges in this line said:
The vegetable exhibit at the Be-
mid il fair would do credit to any
county in the state. The potato ex-
hibit was wonderfully good and
shows great future for the county
in this line. Root crops are of fine
quality and grow on an unusual size.
The fair, as whole, showed good
management and the exhibits excel
those that were brought to the state
fair from Beltrami county and made
such Sensational showing"
Thomas Cooper, assistant agri-
culturist of the Minnesota Expert
ment Station said:
The Development of Beltrami
county agriculturally, was we'll
shown by the corn, grain and grass
exhibits. Only a few years ago
when invited here asa Judge, all
exhibits were comp aratively poor.
No corn was shown. This year the
exhibit is especially good and one
that the county may well feel proud
of and would appear we'll in any of
the southern counties.
Il was particularly pleased wit b
the Dent corn exhibited. Both
Minnesota No. % and No. 10 showed
up we'll. The farmers of Beltra mi
county should make a closer study
of the methods of corn culture and
selection. IT,.

Two Experts Break in By Way of Base
ment Early Today, Blow Strong
box, Taking Valuables.
ROBBERS MAY BE in BEMIDJI
Thought to Have Come Here on Early
Morning Train and Capture
Appears Probable.


O'Clock this morning expert robbers
broke into the postofhce, blew open
the safe with nitroglycerine and
escaped with more than $1,000
worth of plumber.
1t is thought that two men were
implicated in the work and that
they left for Bemidji on the train
which arrives in Bemidji at AIS
a. m.
The work of the robbers shows
that they were professionals. No
one heard them, the explosion of the
nitoglycerine being mufled by heavy
robes.
The men broke into the building
by way of the basement and pro
ceeded in decidedly expeditions
manner to gather up what values
they could find.
Their first labor apparently was
to pour the explosive liquid into
the safe door, They did a pretty
job of cracking this big steel strong
box and gathered up $500 in cash
aud $500 worth of stamps.
They also took all the registered
mail, which consisted of several
letters, probably containing money
and a number of packages contain
ing watches, sample diamonds, other
jewelry and small merchandise of
particular value.
The cash register was also broken
open but here the robbers found
only small change.
They made their retreat so quietly
that they got aboard the train un-
noticed and the robbery was not dis
covered until Postmaster A. Mcbride
went to open the postofice this
morning.
He at once gave the alarm and
Walker officers have sent wire warn
ings in all directions. Government
detectives were also notified and they
will be here this afternoon.
The description of the men is
vague and the only clue is furnished
by footprint in the wet sand and
information of residents who remem-
Der having seen two suspicious
characters in Walker last evening.
These men were apparently about
80 years old; wore dark clothes. One
had about a three days growth of
whiskers.
Sheriff Hazen, Chief Harrington
and Postmaster Erickson were mott
fed early this morning of the post
office robbery at Walker and every
effort to locate the robbers here is
being made.
A systematic search of the city is
on and if the men came here, as
suspected, on the early morning

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The bonds of the Potomac Power Com
pany Of the consolidated series did not
prove at the meeting today OF the stock
exchange to be any more abundant than
was the case yesterday. In consequence
the price stiffened and some progress
was made toward recovery to the higher
levels from which these securities have
been sliding back for some weeks.
The bid was maintained at 101 and
then at an eighth of a point in advance
without disclosing big holding of the
bonds, although an offering was made Of
more than the quotation lot at the asking
price of 1914.
The only other security that scored an
appreciable advance was Lanston, the
bid for which advanced to 91%, while yes
terday 1t was 81. An option was sold at
e2A, which was the asking price for the
stock.
Stockholders of the American Graphic
phone Company express themselves more
hopefully of the prospects of a resump-
ton Of the dividend on the preferred
stock since reading the recent statement
signed by Edward D. Easton, president
Of the company, which shows that the
net earnings for the year ending Septem-
her las; amounted to $140,238. while for
the three months next ensuing the earn
ings reached the large sum of $97 ,S7S.
The cost of maintenance for one year is
given as $56,6s8. while the quarterly
amounted to S36.673. So that the net
earning for the three closing months Of
the PAST year were more than enough to
pay the entire cost Of maintenance for a
year and a quarterly dividend payment
at the rate of per cent.
