Cold Wave Extends Far; St. Paul
Reports Midday Temperature 10.

Cheer up! The Weather Man says
it will be warmer Saturday.
Anyhow, it was only SO degrees be-
low zero at daylight this morning,
and old residents can remember that
in other winters it went down to 40.
Then, too, Bemidji isn't the only
frozen pebble on the beach. The
frigid wave has set the continent to
shaking with cold.
But this must be admitted: this
had been about as cool any all day
proposition as known. .r
At II a. m. it was 80 and in the
blazing CD sun of midday the mer-
curry was as close to the 80 mark as
a Nymore youth is to his best girl on
Sunday evening.
At p. m. it was but degree
warmer and tonight is expected to
set another new record for the manu-
facture of ice.
J Nearly all the trains were affected
by the cold. The northbound Mime
sofa &, International due here at
AIS was two hours and a half late,
arriving in Bemidji at 7:45. The
morning train southbound was. an
1:15 late. The Great Northern noon
train from the west was rs minutes
late.

ceived in Bemidji from Mayor Eagan
of Spooner, but it is presumed that
he will explain how such a perform
ance was permitted to be held in
the City Hall.
What action the governor may
take, if any, is problematical. 1t is
known, however, that the chief exc
:cutive is emphatic in his attitude to-
ward public boxing matches. Dur
ing his term of Office he has made it
a point, when advised that such con-
tests might occur, to issue strict
warnings to all officers, to prevent
such performances.
Someone May Have to Explain.
1t is said that those who have in
formed the governor of what hap
pened expect him to locate the VIII
lage or county officials who are to
blame for permitting the affair and
remove them from Office. So far as
is known in Bemidji no direct charg-
es have been made against any indi-
svfdual, but there are various conjec-
lures as to what will happen follow
ing the coroner's inquest.
Should it develop that Anderson'a
death was due to his contest, it ia

vfded have, ii is understood. incrcas-
ed their business considerably slncc

Wall street considers the new bon

While James ID. Duke has retired
from the presidency of the Ameri-

in financial circles thai the Duke and
Ryan interests are still paramount

Former President Duke. 1t is UNI
derstcod, intends in tho future to give
his entire attention to the affairs of
the British-American Tobacco Coms
pany, in which he holds a control

don to make plans for increasing the
capital stock and extending the trade
OF that concern.
Financiers accept Mr. Dukes as
ISOLATION with the British company
as Il tacit announcement that he will
attempt to control the tobacco trade
OF the world through the British
company, which cannot be reached
by the Sherman antt-trust law. This
company, it is expected, will become

COST OF $s,ss5.o6.

Three Corner Properties Want coun.
Gil to Refund One. Third Of the As
sessment-couneil Places Objections
on FiIs-Will Hear Objections to
"Seetion No. 2" Aug. 8.

At it's adjourned meeting this fore
noon the council accepted five more
blocks of concrete paving, designated
as Section No. p from the contract
ors and received objections to the pro-
posed assessments against properties
mated as Section No. L.
Section No. - which was accepted,
consists of South Fourth street, Church
TO Main; Fifth street, Church to State;
South Seventh street. Church to Main,
and South Eighth street, Church to
Main.
Proposed Assessments Made.
A plat OF the paving with a sched-
ule of the assessments for this i'm
proEemeni, which the council proposes
to assess against the properties, is on
file in the city clerks office. City Clerk
Derby was instructed to give property
cN ners notice that objections to
the proposed assessments would
be received within twenty days
after The notice was given.
The objections will be heard by the
council on Aug. 8. The five blocks Of
paving OF Section No. - will cost
ss.S35.05, divided into the following
sums: To be assessed against the
properties. S7,562.9S: intersections,
$s4S14; grading. s322.1o; curling.

Four Object on Second.
Four property owners have objected
to the proposed assessments against
their properties for the paving vn
North Second street Three of the four
are corner property owners. The OBJ
Jectors are Mrs. Agnes Sears. corner
State and Second; W. P. Maulsby, 30S
North Second: Peter Mayer, corner
State and Second: and c. T. LaPlant,
corner Main and Second.
If the council would rebate third
of the cost of the paving against the
corner lot properties. the objections
these property owners have made
would be quickly overcome. The coun-
Gil has not made this refund. and it is
possible that it will not, as it regards
the properties assessed so valuable
that they are able TO stand the full
assessment in spite Of the fact that the
street on the other side of the prop
critics has been paved also. Both May
er and Maulsby object to the quality
CT the paving and allege that it is i'm
perfect All of the objections were
placed on file.
