FLAMES DAMAGE BIG MILL
Bemidji Company Suffers $500 Loss
-Firemen Win Fight with Wind.

By hard work on the part of their
department, which was splendidly
assisted by the Bemidii department
which made a great run around
the lake to the mill, the Bemidji
Lumber company was able to check
the flames which started late yes
terday afterternoon in the sorting
shed.
The entire loss amounts to about
$500. Thirty trucks and $4,000
feet of lumber were consumed.
Owing to the high wind which
fortunately blew away from the
plant, the task of putting out the
fire was extremely difficult and it
was ten o'clock before the fremen
had finished their work.
The fire compelled the mill to
shut down but repairs are being
rushed and work will be resumed, on
a limited scale, Friday morning.
The cause of the fire is unknown.

MANY BEARS IN BEL1RAM|
Extremer Dyness Brings Bold Invasion
One Clubbed to Death.

Thief River Falls, Mimi, Aug. 80.
The extreme dryness of the past
summer season has been the means
of driving many bears from the
woods north of the great Red Lakes
in Beltrami county out on to the
prairie to, the west. The animals
all appear to be moving in south.
westerly direction.
This brings them across Marshall
and Red Lake counties and out on
the, open prairie, where they be.
come marks for the farmers shot
guns and rifles. They wander along
the streams usually and do not
hesitate to enter the farm yard even
in broaddaylight and take possession
of any morsels which appeal to
their appetite.
The shooting of a bear or the
chasing of one is an everyday occur
renee in this section and many excit-
ing encounters have taken place.
They have learned that young pigs
make fine eating, and one farmer
lost eight little porkers before he
succeeded in landing the thief who
was boarding on the inmates Of the
pig sly.
"A reservation man recently killed
a female bear which was attempting
to carry off pig, but he found that
the rifle would not shoot, SO he
dubbed it and knocked the beal
over the head.

Street to Be Opened From Bridge to
Third; Following Water
Line.
M. & |. ROAD AIDS IN THE WORK
Will Permit City to UseIt's Right of
way-Pay Roll of 81, 900 is
Passed.

A new lake road is assured for
Bemld]l as result of the action of
the city council last evening.
Supt. Gemmel of the Minnesota &
International railway company at.
tended the meeting and said that his
company would permit the city to
establish a thoroughfare on their
right OF way. This means that the
street will begin at the Mississippi
bridge and continue along the shore
to Third street, instead of by the
Northern Wholesale grocery house
as at present.
1t is also practically certain that
a new steel bridge will be erected by
the city and county, although the
city has not taken definite action on
this project.
Mr.. Gemmel said that his CON-
pany did not object to the street be-
ing laid out, but that he did not feel
that the company should be asked
to give up its riparian rights, which
he said would become highly valu-
able.
The council accepted Mr.. Gem
meps view of the subject and is now
in a position to enter into a long
time lease with the railroad company
and proceed with the work of estab.
fishing the new thorougfare which
has, been so long delayed.
The committee having in charge
the erection of septic tank reported
progress and while the location has
practically been decided the commit
tee requested that two weeks more
be given them in which to give their
report and this was granted.
A. R. Blakey representating the
state board of health, requested the
council to permit the use of the city
hall for a tuberculosis exhibit to be
held early in October, and that the
money necessary to cover expenses
incident to the exhibition be paid by
the city. The council pledged the
money but was unable to make the
appropriation as a three fourths vote
is required and that number was not
present.
The city pay roll, amounting to
more than 1000 was passed, as was
also several bills.
