Can GET LIVE STOCK
0psahl Tells Bankers Beltrami is
Looked Upon With Favor as De-
sirable Forage Spot.
TO BRING ANIMALS IN SPRING

That he is in touch with extensive
live stock owners who are willing to
bring large numbers Of cattle, sheep
and hogs to Beltrami county in the
spring if they are given the proper
encouragement, is the information
impaired to the bankers Of Bemidji
in q communication addressed to
these institutions by j. J. Opsahl of
this city. Last week, in a letter to
the state board of immigration, Mr..
EOpsahl advised activity along this
line.
In his letter to the bankers, Mr..
opsahl ssys:
ssTo the Banks Of Bemidji: There
has been quite bit Of discussion Of
the question of getting more live
stock into this country to take care
of the large amount of natural for
age that Is going to waste every year,
or in other words to help the new
settlers harvest the valuable crops
of forage planted by nature and to
convert them into cash as well as
help clear the land.
81 am in communication with par
ties, that, I believe, will be ready to
bring in cows, sheep and hogs this
coming spring, provided, we can ar
arrange for the proper care for such
stock amongst the farmers, so that
delivery can be made at once. Part
|of the farmers, if this work was
started now, could arrange, during
the winter, to cut and sell forest
products with which to buy a few
cows or sheep, and others, probably,
would need some assistance from the
local banks. s..
Last summer, at the Bankers
convention, sent you a paper on
this subject, and the answer was
that it was a matter for the local
banks to care for in each community.
Il believe this is a vital matter
for Beltrami county's development,
and as You are the leading bankers
in the county, other banks would
follow in your footsteps. Will you
kindly advise me what encourage
5ment and cooperation you can offer.
Thanking you for an early reply,
/ remain, yours truly, J. Opsahl."

Decides to Shape It's Action in Ac-
cordance with Instructions from
District Bench.
STATE MAKES THREAT OF SUIT
This Causes Commissioner Rako to
Express Fear Beltrami Bound to
Get Worst of it.

At the regular meeting of the Bel
trami board of county commissions
ers yesterday, A. E. Rako, being
elected chairman for the ensuing
year to succeed Viggo Peterson, A.
Z. James, assistant attorney general,
appeared and asked that the board
allow bill of $1,10O. for incidental
expenses in connection with the
prosecution of DR.. d. F. Dumas on
q charge of arson.
Now Up to District Court.
Mr.. James finally shaved this
amount down to $3.50, which is to
include $50 for services given by
E. E. Mcdonald Of this city while
acting as special prosecuting attor-
ney. There was objection on the
part Of the board to allowing the
bills and it finally was decided to
refer the bills TO the Judge Of the
district court and to conform to- In
structions from him.
What Was Suggested.
It first was suggested that the
bills be allowed and that it should
be paid from the general fund in the
county treasury. Viggo Peterson
suggested that it be paid from the
county attorneys contingent fund.
County Attorney Torrance said that,
while he could get through the year
with $500 in his fund. he did not
wish to feel thus limited. He did
not feel, however, he said, like hagg-
ling over the amount Of money in
his fund, or like quarreling with the
attorney generals Office.
Mr.. James Speaks Up.
Mr.. James said that the people of
the county have right to expect
protection against criminals, and
that the board should be glad to al
low this or any other bill which was
incurred by either the state or the
county for hiring detectives to sup
press law-breaking.
eyes, but what kind Of detec-
tives?" asked Mr.. Peterson.
Sorry They Took the Job.
ut doesn't make any difference
just as long they get the men, and
prevent the crime,'' said Mr.. James.
tits right here: the question is not
which fund the money should come
from; the question for you men to
decide is whether you shall pay it or
not. think that this board and the
people Of Beltrami are well pleased
with the fact that the attorney gem
erals Office did step in and take up
the trial of DR.. Dumas But I'm sure
that If we knew then what we do
now we never would have appeared
in this case. What want you to
decide is whether or not you are go-
ing to pay the money
Rako Sees Lemon for County.
IF we decide not to pay it, then
what will happen?" asked Mr.. Peter
son.
IF it isn't paid here, am conf
dent that the bill will be brought
before the court; !" replied the states
attorney.
That means that sooner or later
Beltrami county will get the worst
Of the deal, commented Mr.. Rako.

once the cold. the loveless, now bestowed
on the younger man a liking none the
less deep and intense for that 1t was

cured for him recognition rarely ac-
corded first term man. The uncom-
promising stand was possible to him
as to few others, since with Bob's in
dorsement his reelection was deemed
assured and he had no need to placate
powerful interests.
Bob's influence may not seem so un.
