PLAY TITANIC" TONIGHT
Bemidj Band Has Arranged an Ex-
ira Long Program in Honor of
Auto Tourists.
TWO NUMBERS BY REMFREY

Alden Remfrey, director of the
Bemidji band, has announced an ex-
ira long program for the concert to
be played under the windows of the
Commercial club this evening. The
concert will be started about 7:30 p.
m. Included in the program are three
numbers written by members of the
band.
Oscar Nelson's descriptive overture
''Titanic" will be played for the first
time before the public. Mr.. Nelson
plays solo trombone in the band and
the overture is entirely his own pro-
duction. It was started shortly after
the wreck of the Titanic and took
several weeks to write. The over
ture starts with a description of the
Titanic as it left the dock at Liver
pool and ends with the strains of
ssNearer My God to Thee by the
ships orchestra as the giant vessel
went down.
Director Remfrey's pride of Be-
midji'' is also on the program. This
march was written shortly after he
came to this city and took charge of
the band. His jungle King" was
played by the band for the first time
at the concert last Friday night and
will be repeated this evening. The
extra numbers were added to the pro-
gram in honor of the visitors who
will be in the city from Crookston
and intermediate points.

W. S. LYCAN IN THE DITCH.

Crookston Times: Yesterday eve
ming about o'clock the Lycan- Boles
Comedy Co., put on vaudeville
sketch north of the fair grounds,
which, if repeated during fair time,
will win the plaudits of the assembled
thousands. Coming in from a trip
to the country in light wagon, after
running their bird dogs a few hours,
an application of long oats to one of
the nags, which was startled by three
hobos sitting by the ditch, woke the
animal up with a start and his plunge
ahead was sufficient to slip the neck
yoke from the pole of the wagon. T.
DR.. Boles thought it time to at
tempt flying across the ditch, while
he was still on top of the wagon,
and Tapping his arms like a cockerel
which thought he was rule of the
roost, he jumped, and lit with a ker-
follop in the bottom of the ditch.
Mr.. Lycan held to the reins till the
broken pole stuck in the ground, and
as he saw the wagon heading for the
ditch, he jumped also, and after
summersault in the air came down on
one hip badly bent but not broken.
Sailing through the air, he was
dead ringer for Uncle 81 after an in
terview with his mule, Maude, in F.
Opper's comic section of the Sunday
papers.
The team ran a few hundred feet
ahead and stopped, looked back at
the passenger list, and started again
on the run for Couvrette & Cardin's
livery stable, leaving the two men re-
peating an old Sunday school lesson
slightly transposed, with the buggy
in the ditch, the four wheels point
ing skyward.
Attention has been called repeated
~ to the fact that the big ditch near
Magnus Lundberg's was a constant
menace, and in this instance had the
wagon been loaded with men, the
chances are that friends would have
been buying flowers for some of them
today.

BOND QUESTION IS UP|
Brusegaard and P. II. McGarry to
Demand Special Investigation if
Elected to Legislature.
SALE DEMANDED BY N. M. D. A.

- Cass Lake, Aug. 27.-(SpeciaD-
Thos. Brusegaard, village president
of Hill City, Aitkin county, since the
Organization Of that town, has been
prevailed upon by voters of the dis
trict to file as a candidate for the
Republican nomination for represen-
tatiye to the legislature in the Fifty
second legislative district, which is
the largest in the state, comprising
Koochiching, Itasca, Cass, Carlton
and A1tkin counties. Mr.. Brusegaard
has filed in Class 1 which will make
him an opponent of Chas. H. Warner
Of Aitkin.
P. H. McGarry of Walker and Chas.
F. Mahnke of Moose Lake have filed
in Glass 2 for the same district. 1t
is understood that the platform of
McGarry and Brusegaard includes a
plank to the effect that unless pro-
vision is made to sell some of the for
eign bonds of the state as urged by
the Northern Minnesota Development
association since its organization, a
legislative investigation looking into
the entire matter of the purchase of
all these foreign bonds both at the
purchasing and selling end will be
demanded. ~
The difficulty experienced by the
N. M. D. A. in getting action on this
bond matter is common knowledge in
Northern Minnesota, and it is felt
that Northern Minnesota is entitled
to know definitely whether it would
be detrimental to the pocketbooks OF
certain people if the bonds were sold
and if that has anything to do with
the difficulty in getting desired &C.
ton. It may be stated that the can
didacy of McGarry and Brusegaard
was largely brought about for this
specific reason. It is urged that in
the investigation in the matter Meth.
er is hampered by friendship likely
to be adversely affected by the start.

MORE MONEY FOR FAIR.

The Crookston Lumber company
has donated $50 to be used by the
fair committee in preparing exhibits
for the state fair and has promised
to take care of the county fair po-
tato exhibit up to $50. The two do
nations make 800 given for fair
work this year by the Crookston COM
pany. Although the council failed
to make an appropriation at it's last
meeting, it is expected that it will
at the next as several of the men,
bers have expressed themselves as in
favor of such an appropriation.

CASWELL HAS RESIGNED

st. Pull, Aug. 27.-I. A. Caswell,
clerk of the supreme court, and
Roosevelt leader in Minnesota, on
Monday resigned as a member of the
Republican national committee. His
letter of resignation was very brief,
less than four typewriter lines.
Mr.. Caswell made no comment be-
yond saying that this letter is the
only correspondence that has ever
passed between himself and the ma
tional committee. The resi- gnation
was sent to Chairman Charles D.
Hilles.
Mr.. Caswell, as a Roosevelt sup
porter, was not welcome on the Taft
committee, and it was generally IN
derstood that unless he resigned he
would be forcibly thrown off the ma
tional committee. His resignation
solves the difficulty.
1t is likely that Governor Eberhart,
J. A. o. Preus, Ralph W. Wheelock,
Dan Schell, Dan Gum of Grand Rap
ids, Odin Halden of Duluth, Cal
Stone and other close advisers OF
Governor Eberhart, will be consulted
before an appointment is made
Thomas Collins, Window, one of Gov.
ernor Eberhart's closest friends, and
a member of the Republican state
central committee, might be prevail.
ed on to take the place. He took an
active part in the Taft campaign.

THOUGHT OF HIS TROUSERS.

Smothered cries of "Wow! My
trousers! were heard by people near
Second Point yesterday. Investiga-
ton showed that canoe in which
H. A. Plate, Robert Berger and E..
Humphrey had been riding was ov-
erturned and the occupants were
standing in water up to their necks
They had padded to the point for a
swim but the canoe went over while
they were coming back and the added
bath was too much. In explaining
the cries, Mr.. Humphrey said that he
had on a new pair of trousers.

Is Built on Clay Foundation and Has
One Per Cent Grade For It's
Twenty-eight Miles.
PART OF NEW STATE SYSTEM
Will Connect with Duluth-St. Vim
cent Trunk Line at Wheelock-
Farmers Working Grades.

After several months work, W. R.
Mackenzie, secretary of the Northern
Minnesota Development association,
acting for the Clearwater county
commissioners, has succeeded in get
ting a fifteen year lease from T. B.
Walker interests for the road bed of
an old logging road running south
from Wheelock to the Itasca state
park. The lease provides that should
the Great Northern at any time wish
to relay steel, that the road shall
be vacated.
The road is twenty-eight miles
long and connects with the Duluth
St. Vincent road, to be built under
the Elwel1 law, at Wheelock. The
Walker interests several years ago
built logging line north from the
state park but when the timber was
exhausted, the line was sold to the
Great Northern. The Great North
ern took up the steel but left the ties.
Farmers have been busy for some
time removing the ties and at this
time, the road is being used with
the exception of few stretches. AS
soon as the farmers are through with
their harvesting, they intend to re-
move the rest of the rails and put the
road in first class condition.
The bed is made of gravel and has
a one per cent grade for the twenty
eight miles. 1t cost 100000 for
the lumber company to build it and
it will be the only piece of entirely
graveled road in this part of the
state. The highway has clay bed
with a four to six inch gravel sur
face. The county is granted the use
of bridges and the present railroad
bridges will be repaired to stand
wagon traffic
Wheelock is about three miles
south of Solway and the road runs
through the villages of Mallard, Eli
da, Long Lake and Squaw Lake. The
run from Bemidji to Solway can now
be made over fairly good roads and
with this stretch in use, it will be
possible for automobiles to make the
trip from Bemidji to the state park
in about half the time it takes now.
Boosters for good roads are point
ing out the fact that when the Du-
luth-St. Vincent road is completed.
travellers over that road will be able
to make run down to the state park
and get back on their trip in three
hours. They say that a one per cent
grade on a level roadway for TWEEN
ty-eight miles will make it perfect
for autos. At present the road from
Bemidji to the park is made of clay
and after rain is impossible.
The commissioners of Clearwater
county, together with Mr.. Mackenzie
have been working with the commits
sloners of Hubbard county to get a
good road into the park from the
esouth. If this is done, the entire
stretch of close to fifty miles will
make an easy two hour run for the
average machine. Farmers are so
we'll pleased over the prospect that
they are putting their time on the
road gratis and say that it will be
ready for travel by this time in Sep
