WOULD CONSERVE
RADIUM SUPPLY
Secretary Lane Seeks Withdrawal Of
Tracts Suspected Of Containing
Metal For Good Of Public
ASKS CONGRESS TO ACT. ON IN IT.
Urges Resolution Empowering The
President to Hold Lands In Public
Domain Chemists Experiment

Washington, Dec. 3O.-Secretary
Lane proposes to withdraw all lands
of the public domain suspected of
containing radium that their precious
deposits may be secured for the pub
lie good and not become the subject
Of private speculation.
Mr. Lane outlined his plan in a let
ter to Chairman Foster Of the house
mines committee, urging immediate
passage of joint congressional reso-
luton to empower President Wilson
to make the withdrawals.
By the terms of the proposed reso-
luton the secretary of the interior
would be authorized "to conduct ex-
plorations and researches with a view
to determining the practicabi1ity OF
developing from such ores supply
of radium and to provide a supply Of
radium for the use Of the government
and the hospitals of this country
Secretary Lane points out that
there are only two grams of radiuna
at present in the United States. 1t
is valued at $4,000 a gram All has
been procured from Europe
Preserve Metal for People.
@Three-fourths of the radium pro-
duced in the world during the year
1872" said Secretary Lane, "came
from American ores, vet We have, up
to this time, taken no steps whatever
to preserve for our own people this
invaluable metal
In view Of the known effectiveness
of radium in the treatment of cancer
and the difficulty now experienced in
obtaining supply Of it, Secretary
Lane says, that as one person in
every ten in this country more than
fifty years of age suffers from can
Ger cit is difficult to over estimate
the necessity for securing Immediate
ly as large a supply as possible of
this mysterious remedy.
'Radium is found in ores carrying
uranium and yanadium, which. are
used extensively in the arts and pro-
cesses by which it is extracted are
secret. A process has been invented
by the chemists in our bureau OF
mines which promises from the lab

BOWLING RECORD BROKEN
spillers Roll Total Of 2,513 In Three
Games Defeating Gophers In City
League Game By 81 Pins
CHANGES CHAMPIONSHIP ASPECT

+ - FL 5 - &. s.
Bemidii bowling records were
sent glimmering last evening
when the Spi1ler five defeated
the Gophers in city league con-
test by the small total of FL pins.
The game was the most interesting
of any played since the organization
of the league several months ago.
The fact that the Spillers and the
Gophefs were tied in the league race
alone caused much interest in the
contest last evening and the scores
rolled were far above the average.
The one game score was broken by
four pins, the Spillers rolling SOC.
This record was formerly held by the
Bingers, with 902 pins toppled. The
total number of pins secured in the
three games was 2,513, this also es..
tablished a new record
The game started off with a rush
and when the dust had cleared away
it was found that the Spillers had
won by SO pins, having bowled 900
to their opponents 1903. The Gophers
came back strong in the second game
and won by 10 pins. This placed
the teams only twelve pins apart
when the last and deciding game
was begun, with the Gophers in the
lead. The last game went to the
Spillers.
The scores rolled last night follow:

ALDERMEN JUMP ON
MUNICIPAL COURT
Council Members Claim That Fines
Collected For Crimes Are Insult
ficient and Lack Force
POLICE ARE NOT PROTECTED
Instance Recalled Where Officer Of
Law Was Assaulted And Offender
Let Off By Paying Two Dollars

-
That the municipal court of Be-
midji is not severe enough in in
stances of crime, that the police of
the city are not co-operated with and
the receipts Of the court are insult
ficient, were points brought out by
the members of the council at the.
last meeting of the year, held last
evening.
It all came about when George
Stein, city clerk, read the report of
the municipal court showing that
but SIS dollars had been taken in
by the court for the four weeks be-
ginning November %, and ending
ecembef ID. This amount in
cludes both the police court and the
civil court moneys.
Easy at Bemidji
Several alderman pointed out the
fact that at present the city of Be-
midi is referred to as the drunkards
friend, by lum berjacks of the idle
class. At Blackjack recently, said
Alderman Bisiar, man was fined
$15 for minor crime. He paid
the fine after remarking that if he
had performed the same trick in Be
midi he would have gotten off with
a dollar fine or suspended sentence.
Rarely is a man who has been
found guilty, whether it is simple as
suit, drunkenness are disorderly con
duct given more than a two dollar
fine, and more often the fine or Jail
sentence is. suspended
Policeman Assaulted
Recently a policeman found that
he was unable to handle a man who
he attempted to arrest, He called
for assistance and a brother officer
came to his aid. A charge of resist
ing an officer was made against the
iue1n duu ne was Ilned Two dollars.

show that a year ago for the same
length of time as mentioned above
there were SO arrests and fines were
collected to the extent of $79. This
year there were 80 arrests and the,
fines. amounted to $23. Judge Gro
well does not attach any costs what
ever to his sentences, claiming that
the police are paid to perform their
work
The salary of the municipal court

Need Snow
Unless Northern Minnesota is
visited by heavy snow fall during
the next two weeks many of the
smaller camps will be forced to cease
operations. Logging is now at a
stand still with the Pine Tree Lumber
Company who have camps at Pine
Tree Spur. More timber has been
out to date and placed on skids than
can be hauled to the landing before
warm weather unless conditions. inn
prove in the next few days.
Build Ice Roads
Several of the larger camps have
built ice roads and are now haul
ing but there is considerable work
which they cannot do without snow.
According ito lumbermen who have
many years experience in the woods,
this year has been the best ever
known in the north for cutting and
skidding and with snow plentiful the
winter would be ideal for logging.
