James L. Harris or Grand Junction,
appraiser for the state land board,
is the bone of contention in row
now raging at the capital where
Blair Burweel on one side is trying
TO oust the local man and Edward
keating, president of the board is
striving to have him hold his place.
Register jefferson, the third member,
has taken no definite stand but Mr..
Harris believes that the Routt coun-
ty doctor will stand for him.
Mr. Harris, who is now visiting
his family on the ranch near town.
declares that it is all a part of a
political deal and that he will not
be removed as long as John f. Shat
roth is governor.
Burwell declares that Mr.. Harris
is too sarrulous in his reports to the
board, often expressing himself as to
whether or not leases should be gran
ted and taking on himself, in Bur
wells opinion, too much authority.
Burwell is seconded by Attorney
Thorne. who is counsel for the board
and also chief clerk. Governor Shat
roth supports Harris, declaring him
to be one of the best in the state
posed and stopped too much graft to
suit some of the politicians around
Denver and that in an adverse re-
port on a proposition of the Two
Buttes irrigation project, he tread on

expressed in the document.

NEW REINFORCED TIE PLATE IS
BIG SAFETY APPLIANCE DEVICE

J. b, Baum returned home yester-
day from Denver bringing with him
luminum models of his latest inven-
tons for railroad safety appliances.
These are his new tie plates and his
reinforced rail joints. The latter
mas been seen by practically every
railroad man of consequence in Den
yer and has been universally pro-
hounced the most perfect rail Joint
so iar evolved. Moreover. the cost
OF production is declared to be only
slightly greater than the present
JOINTS and negligible when compared
with the increased efficiency and
SAFETY assured by its use. Mr.. Baum
mas applied for patents on his new
devices and is organizing company
to promote them.

WALKER BLAMES REFEREE
Cass County Pioneer Says That Be-
midi Official Was Star Player.

In it's last issue the Cass County
Pioneer, published at Walker, has
the following to say concerning the
basketball game which was played
in that city several days ago between
the Walker and Bemidji high schools:
In the first half of the game here,
Saturday night, the Walker boys
played basket ball right along side Of
the Bemidji boys and showed that
there was a strong possibility of the
game ending with the score in favor
of the home boys. This fact was so
apparent that the Bemidji boys could
not help but see it so they concluded
that they would use their referee in
the last half, and they did. The re-
mainder of the game was all played
by the referee and he was certainly
a star player The score stood 20
to 16 in favor of Bemidji. We can
not help but say that if the Bemidji
boys but keep this referee and keep
him in good condition as he was in at
Walker last Saturday can, no doubt,
carry off the championship honors
they covet."

FUNCK GIVES WELCOME ADDRESS
Kelliher And Marble Admitted Into
Association Other Towns Re-
presented.

Last evening in Cass Lake the
Firemen's Association held their an
nual midwinter convention at Cass
Lake..
The purpose of the convention was
to set the date of the association
tournament, to be held at Akeley,
and to arrange plans and rules gov
erning the contests.
The meeting was presided over by
Bert Rapier of Akeley and R. F.
Pray, secretary.

BILE were received and accepted.
The towns represented at the con-
vention were Akeley, Bovey, Cass
Lake, Coleraine, Walker, Grand Rap
ids, Park Rapids, Marble and Kelli-
her.
1t was decided that the tourna-
ment would be held at Akeley on
June 20 to % inclusive and that the
rules regarding the starting Of the
races on time would be enforced.
One of the main objects of the as
ISOLATION is to develop the fire COM
panies' actual fire fighting efficiency
rather than display at the tourna-
ments and it's proposed. that any
contestant who is not an actual fire.
man will be barred from participant
ing in the races.
County Attorney Funck of Cass
Lake gave a very cordial address to
| welcome to the new companies adj
mitted and was ably replied to by
Mr.. George Hoover of Kelliher.
After the business session lunch
was served by the Cass Lake depart
ment and all left with pleasant re.
membranes of the hospitality Of

CREAMERIES ARE GROWING
Number In State And Amount Paid
Farmers Increasing.

According to figures in the forth
coming biennial report of the state
Dairy and Food Commissioner, the
number of creameries in the state
has grown from 1922 to 1877 in two
years, and the amount of money paid
to farmers by the creameries has
grown from s1S,912,042 to $22,290,-
O95. The latest figures available are
those for 1909 and are compared
throughout with those of 1907.
Of the total amount paid for butter
fat to patrons of creameries the 1arg-
est sum paid in any one county is
paid by Ramsey. For 1909 this
amount was s2,452,9sO, an increase
of s25O,OOO over the two years pre-
vious. The county next highest is
Freeborn, where cooperative cream
cries first started.
This showing proves that Ramsey
county, or ST. Paul, since the cream
cries are located in that city, pays
about one-tenth of all the money re
ceived by Minnesota farmers for the
products of their cows.
The amount of butter produced il
the state has grown to s0,s24, 26:
pounds, compared with a total of 81,
O44,817 produced two years earlier
The number of cooperative cream
cries has grown from SGT to STA dur
ing the two years.

OPENS OFFICE
Will Deal In Insurance, Real Estate,
Farm Loans and Rentals.

V. L. Ellis, who was formerly con-
nected with the T. J. Miller company
of this city, has recently severed his
connections with this firm and has
opened offices in the postofice build
ing, occupying the suite with At
torney A. A. Andrews.
Still a new acquisition to the in

tation for himself as a capable in
surance man.
He has acquired many old line
companies and will write insurance
in all it's branches.
He will also deal extensively in
real estate, farm loans, surety bonds,
rentals and collections.
Having been a resident of Bemidji
for the past twelve years, Mr.. Ellis
enjoys a wide acquaintance in the
community and his success in this
new venture is practically assured.

There are to be no more sessions
of the house. Monday morning that
body adopted the Spooner resolution,
offered several days ago, which calls
for the converting of the house at
1870 p. M, instead of 10 a. m, as
has been the practice. The change
was made so that the members might
be at liberty to hold committee meet
ings in the forenoon It is not
thought that the presnt arrangement
can last long, as there is so much
work ahead that two sessions day
by both the senate and house will be
necessary to clear the decks for final
adjournment.
