Many OF them will make preparations

Among the bookings announced for
the coming week at the Biiou Thea ire

as the feature. This is an act in
which clever sextette OF dancers

idea Of creating something entirely

Well they have succeeded can only
be surmised by the excellent reports
that precede them from other cities

The State Board of Control ad-

written the superintendent ordering
him to change his system of manage
ment in certain respects. -.
"The institution always has been
a difficult thing to handle, as the pa
tients treated, as a class, are very
hard to suit" said P. M. Ringdal,
chairman, "and it is located in a
country where it is very hard to get
fresh fruit.
ut cost us last year $203.4O pei
capita for the food alone at the Walk
er institution, while the next highest
per capita cost, that of the Red Wing
reformatory, is only $6127.''

the institution may not be as per-
feet as it should be and we have tax
en- steps to improve it," said c. E
Vasaly. "The bad potatoes referred
to by DR.. H. l.. Taylor were not re.
turned as he stated, but they were
sorted and more than 263 bushels
were thrown away"

MANY FIRMS FACE TROUBLE
Bemidji Institutions Fail to File in
. Accordance With New Law.

Those who are engaged in business
under a partnership and who have
not already filed with the clerk of
the district court a statement of the
character of their business, the loca-
ton and the. names of those inter-
ested in the company, had better do
so at once for even now, under the
law passed at the last legislature,
they are guilty Of a misdemeanor.
The act was approved April 49,,
1911. Not only is the firm guilty of
a misdemeanor but the fact that they
have not complied with the law in
carrying on their business may be
used against them in court. The
standing in court, in other words, is
impaired through failure to comply
with the law.
A fee of rs cents is collected by
the clerk for the filing of the in
formation.
The act was passed especially for

FIRE VICTIMS GET BUSY
Baudette and Spooner Sufferers of
Confagration Pushing 100000
Against Railways. .~
20 NEW SUITS ARE STARTED

Developments have started in the
100000 suit which the insurance
Ecompanies areS,hrin gins against the
Canadian Northerns5 as result of
losses sustained in the fire that de-
stroyed Baudette and Spooner. Mr..
Burlington an attorney of Minneapo-
lis, has arrived in Baudette to look
after the interests of the companies.
1t is his intention to put men in the
field and to have them thoroughly ex-
anime the country adjoining the two
villages and to collect all available
information that would help out their
case. III
The Rainy River Region of Bau-
dette says:
"The railway people are not be-
hind in this respect as they have had
a gang of men along the line between
here and Williams for the last TWO
weeks. These men are working under
the name of surveyors but are in
reality collecting information for the
company to be used in the defense at
the fire suits.
"The outcome will be watched with
interest as the result means lot to
the people whose homes were de-
stroyed in the fire. If the insurance
companies can win we all have a
good chance to collect for our losses.
"Twenty-nine new suits were
started recently against the company.
They were instituted by residents of
the territory between Williams and
Zippel. Lorring and Chilgren have
charge of the cases. 7'-
