INSPECTOR LOSES !
MONEY
J. W. Caldwell of Sprague Leaves
1929 Under Mattress. G.

While in Warroad Monday, J. w.
Caldwell, the Canadian immigration
inspector at sprague, was unfortu-
nate in losing 1929.
The inspector has secured a room
in the Warroad hotst, and when he
was going to- bed rolf of bills, fell
upon the floor, and when he picked
it up, he tucked it under the mat
tress. The next morning he forgot
all about the money, until he had
taken the train for home. Upon dis
covering his loss he telegraphed the
hotel owner. In the meantime a
couple had been given the room,
and when informed that some valu-
ables had been left there they re-
fused to allow anyone to enter and
after they had gone and the room
searched, it was found that the
money was not there. Owing to
lack of evidence no arrests were
made at the time, but upon further
investigation the couple was arrested
in Crookston Thursday.

WILL READ $4,000 PAPERS
Teachers Answers in Examinations
to Be Corrected by Ninety Read
ers in Ten Days.
SOME FROM TESTS TAKEN HERE

From eighty-five to ninety readers,
starting at 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning, will be engaged at the state
capitol for at least ten days in mark
ing the examination papers, already
beginning to arrive, written by Min
nesota's present and prospective
teachers in the examinations held in
every county of the state last week.
Between 10000 and 10000 papers
on all subjects covered in the exami-
nation will be turned in for correc-
tion, according to officials of the state
department of public instruction,
which has charge of the grading of
the papers. This is a decrease of al
most SO per cent from last year,
when more than 10000 papers were
graded, and still more from 1909,
when $4,000 papers were read.
The readers are selected largely
from among the experienced teachers
of the state, and many of them have
done duty in former years. Not all
have been selected for this year.
The decrease in the number of pa
pers is due, it is said, to the fact
when a teacher receives a grade of
rs per cent in subject, the marks
become permanent and the certificate
to teach that subject is renewable
each year, making it unnecessary to
take further examinations.
More than thirty Beltrami county
young men and women took part in
these examinations.

PULL Together ON EXHIBIT
Business Interests of the State to
Collect Finest Display of Pro- -
- ducts Ever Shown.
MACKENZIE MEMBER COMMITTEE

AS a result of conference held
in Duluth last week, Minnesota busi-
ness interests have "gotten together"
to collect the finest and most COM
plete exhibit of the products of the
state which has ever been brought
together. The exhibit will first be
shown at the Northwestern Land
Products Show which is to be held in
St. Paul December IL to %.
After the land show is over the ex-
hibit may be installed in one of the
large railroad centers of the state for
permanent display. Those who have
determined on securing such an ex-
hibit are members of a committee
named by Governor Eberhart some
time ago, w. R. Mackenzie being a
member, to see that the state is prop
erly represented at the coming land
show when six states to the west of
Minnesota will make exhibits.
George Welsh, commissioner of
immigration has been instructed to
assist in this work, it being the be-
lief of the board of immigration of
Minnesota that the state will derive
much permanent good from exhibit
ing at land shows and that COM
plete exhibit Of the states products
should be secured perhaps, for per-
manent display. -.
Besides agricultural products of
the state the exhibit will contain one
of the finest mineral displays ever
shown. This alone will cost a big
sum and is to be furnished by the
steel companies of the Duluth dis
trict. The timber display will be an
other feature and will show not only
native woods but finished products OF
the timber in a hundred different
forms. The forestry department is
working on this display.
An aquarium full of native fish
an aviary containing specimens OF
wild birds, together with few deer
and moose, will add to the interest
of the exhibit Commissioner Welsh
isS desirous to accept from anyone
who has high class samples of Min
nesota products.

ARE DRINKING LESS MALT
Number of Licenses Issued Last Year
Cut in Half by New State
Law.
FIFTY PER CENT OF TOTAL IN
Minnesotans are drinking less

Minnesotans are drinking less
malt.
The reason is not because the
taste for the beverage is less keen,
but because a new state law pro-
hibits it's sale outside of a licensed
saloon or for medicinal purposes in
drug store. Consequently 461
licenses were issued during June of
this year, as compared to $40 the
corresponding period in 1910, accord
ing to the report of the internal COL
lector.
About SO per cents of this-year's
lie nses were taken out in the Twin
Cities, while less than 80 per cent
were issued to Twin City houses last
year. This is explained by the fact
that most of the recent licenses have
been issued to large brewery agenc-
les and wholesalers, most of which
are located in the larger cities.
Candy stores, refreshment stands
and country crossroad stores that
cannot sell malt under the new law,
of course did not take licenses.
The internal revenue tax for the
sale of malt is $40. The $25 liquor
tax permits the dealer to- sell any
kind of malt and spirituous liquors.
All saloonkeepers who did not pay
tax before July 81 will be penalized
so per cent. No applications for
licenses have been received since
that date.

Rumors to the effect that attorney
general Simpson has or will tender
his resignation to the governor when
he returns from the east is causing
comment by every paper throughout
the entire state.
Simpson, according to the city pa
pers denies that he has made the
statement that he would resign in
January. The Duluth News Tribune
says Attorney General Simpson today
denied an interview Saturday credit
ing him with the statement that he
would resign next January. He said
today that he had not made up his
mind on the question.
When the matter of increasing the
salary of the attorney general and his
assistants was up for consideration in

Seems Probable That Blocks Leading
to the Union Depot Will Be
Paved
IS RECOMMENDED BY ENGINEER
Street is Only Year Old, But Author
tiles Say That it Has Sufficient
ly Settled.
Paving is on in full swing.

Paving is Oh in full swing.
A crew of thirty men are at work
on Second street laying the storm
sewer, which will be completed in a
few days.
Practically all of the tile for the
sanitary and storm sewers have ar
rived in Bemidji, while much of the
other material has also reached here,
and according to James Kennedy,
who will be one of the men in charge
Of the construction work, there is
nothing which can now occur which
will delay the building of the pave
ment.
Both Mr. Kennedy and w. B. Rob-
inson, of the Northern Cement &
Construction company, which firm
has the contract for the laying of
the pavement, are Of the opinion that
the eleven blocks which are to be
paved can be completed at a rate of
more than one block a week, which
means that Bemidji will have thir-
teen blocks of pavement in the busi-
ness district before the middle of Oc-
tOber: '-~
Because of the pronounced need Of
the Beltrami avenue pavement ex-
tending to First street from Second
street to the Union depot, as the con-
nf ic
sible for heavy load to be pulled
through, and as several engineers
have examined the road, including
City Engineer Everetts, and found it
to be in perfect shape, it is possible
that the pavement will extend that
far although for time it seemed
rather doubtful.
This block of road is only a year
old, having been built at the time the
500 entered Bemidji, and since that
time has been constantly added to, so
as to bring it to the street level The
many rains together with the sprink-
ling which has been given it at in
tervals during the summer, has tend
ed to harden the ground placing it in
good condition.
While the paving, proper, that is
the putting down of the cement, has
not yet been begun, the prelimi-
nary steps are being made as rap
idly as possible, and present indi-
cations are that the cement will be
started within the next week.

Secure Increase.

A serious situation confronted the Sup
plee Creamery Company. at Columbus
Thursday, when the thirty-five or fifty
milk producers delivering milk at tha+
place went on strike that had been pre-.
arranged, and refused to leave any of the
mornings supply unless granted an In
crease of one-hslf cent in price, making
81 cents net quart.
The strike was unlike anything that had
ever confronted the Supplee Company at
Its Columbus plant, and things were ex.
citing while the council of war was In
progress. Representatives of the company
tried ordinary persuasion in an effort to
effect an amicable adjustment in order to
get the milk on the market, but they soon
discovered that the farmers were several
stages beyond the point Of arbitration,
and If their demands were not met the
milk would be fed to the pigs on the var
ious farms rather than sacrifice after the
determined stand had been taken.
After the telephones to headquarters in
Philadelphia had been kept busy for some
time 1t was announced that the price ask
ed would be paid. 1t was only last week
that the Supplee Company started Its new
creamery at Columbus, after being tied
up for several months as a result OF fire
that entirely destroyed Its former plant.

Destructive Fire.


A two days forest fire on Monday and
Tuesday, of last week, nearly wiped out
the famous army and navy resort in the
pines, known as Barnegat Park. The
church, FIVE houses and stable were
burned to the ground.
The fire started Monday in most mys-
FERROUS way In the forest to the southeast
of Barnegat Park, long distance, 1t is
asserted. away from railroad or any
other means of causing fire. Before a
southeast wind 1t swept up the cluster OF
houses at the top Of a hill at Barnegat
Park. A few men had gatherer and for
mer Assemblyman George W. Holman,
Jr.. of Toms River, who was long resi-
dent of the park. aud who started down
there as soon as he saw the smoke of q
forest fire In that direction, says that the
houses might easily have been saved by
backfring. The men who had gathered
dared not backfre, because they under
stood 1t was contrary to the new forestry
law. Mr. Holman started In to backfre
from the Boulevard, but the other men
would not assist. and he was unable to dc
enough to save, the houses.
Beside the church the houses burned
included the cottage of Mrs. Cornelia
Rowland Martha Downing, Rev. George
w. Eccles, Mr.. Calvin's house and the
Phelps cottage, now owned by the Hol-
land Trust Company, of New York; and q
barn belonging to H. T. Downing.
