.SHEVLIN MAY BUY
THE BEAIDJI MILL
Rumor That Deal is Pending Con-
firmed by W. A. Gould, In #
wolves 100000. s.

Rumors that the Crookston Lum-
Der company is to take over the Be-
midi Lumber company in deal
which will call for the transfer of
property worth close to $1,00O,O00
were confirmed this morning by w.
A. Gould of the Bemidji Lumber COM
pany. .--:.. -
Mr.. Gould stated that the Bemidji
Lumber company owners had been
approached on the proposition and
that while deal is pending, the ne
gotiators have not gotten down to
figures. T. L. Shevlin, head of the
Crookston Lumber company, is at
present in the south.
The Bemidji Lumber company's
mill in Bemidji is believed worth be-
tween $125,OOO and $15O,000. The
company is said to- own about 1,000,-
600 feet of timber so that as the mar
ket price, the deal. would call for the
turning of about $1,000,00O. The
two Wintons, who own a majority of
the Bemidji stock, were in the city
last week comforting with their own
men.
When the Crookston people bought
the Kelliher-Weyerhauser timber
April 1, they announced that they
would double the capacity of the
Crookston mill this year in order to
care for the additional timber With
the double capacity, they estimate
they will stay here twelve years. The
Bemidji mill has timber enough of
their, own to cut for five years and
about as much more in, sight that can
be bought. :.
70 A consolidation of the two mills,
is taken to mean that both will be
kept running day and night here for
about seventeen years instead of one
for twelve and one for five. The COM
bined pay rolls of both mills amounts
to nearly $4,000 per month.
Mr.. Gould said that if the deal did
go through, the Bemidji people will
operate this season and the transfer
will not be made before fall.

ice out OF THE LAKE
Last disappeared Friday Night and
Prediction Of April Is Game
True-Plenty Of Ducks.
REGULAR TRIPS TO THE MILL

The ice is out of Lake Bemidji. The
last disappeared Friday night ac-
cording to the original prognostica-
ton Of Capt B. MacLachlan.
Charlie Warf1eld has admitted that
his guess Of May 10 is far off and
stands ready to pay his bet. =
Ducks are circling over the lake in
great numbers and hunters believe
the shooting next fall will be the
best in several years, if conditions
are right for Matching. Lake Irving
is their favorite stopping place and
some are, finding rice left from last
fall. Shooting has been heard at the
outlet several times but Game War
den Bailey has found no one with
ducks. - ~.
The getty of Bemidji' took to the
water Thursday morning and, on Fri
day morning was busy towing up the
lake. Several farmers put in logs for
the Bemidji mill this winter and the
ice piled them on the north shore in
a badly tangled mess. Although the
lake is free from ice,- there are places
on the north and west shore where
the ice is piled into the tree tops.
Captain MacLachlan made his first
regular trip to the mill Friday night
and brought back twelve men. He
will make the first trip to the dam on
Sunday afternoon at $3.50.

All of the buildings burned were OF
frame construction and in the face of !
a strong breeze, gave the firemen a
hard fight. With the first alarm, the
companies responded promptly and
their hard fight undoubtedly saved
the rest of the block from going. It
was thought for time that not a
building in the block would be left
standing. The loss of the telephone

This is the third serious fire in
Bagley in period of four years.

Sir: Il have read with some inter

AN ILLUSTRATION

Among the quirks in local governmental sys.
TENS that need Strengthening out very badly is
that of the division of authority in sanitary mat
ters The clash Of territorial and municipal jurs
sdiction is powerfully illustrated in the contro-
versy over the Oriental fishmarkets The health
committee Of the board of supervisors decided
that permits should be issued, upon which the
city treasurer could proceed to collect the license
money. The board of health, after inspecting the
markets. decided against the issuance of permits
until number of improvements should be made.
The city treasurer is between the devil and the
deepsea; the markets continue to offend not only
taste but smell; and much time and good tenn
per is wasted. The situation would be ridicu-
lous we're it not serious. Sanitary observance is
not to be trifled with, This game of battledore-
andshuttlecock is all very well in it's way, but Il
produces little satisfaction in the end. The ORR
entail merchants are.hardly to be blamed for not
obeying orders when the men who give the orders
cannot agree Serving two masters is difficult.

ANOTHER PRECEDENT GONE

Opponents Of Mr. Pinkham are now hoping
against hope that his nomination. for governor
will be defeated on the floor Ct the senate
When Pinkham was nominated by the presi-
dent, these opponents, hearing that senator John
sharp Williams and Senator James K. yarda-
man had announced their hostility, immediately
proceeded to tell the community that the oppo-
siticn Of two such formidable congressman was
enough to secure an indefinite postponement of
action BY the senate committee on Pacific Islands
and Porto Rico They talked Of senatorial
courtesy
As the days went past and no meeting Of the
committee was held, the Pinlhanl opposition
plucked up courage They believed his nomina-
ton vas being delayed until it could be killed
AS a matter OF fact the senate itself has been
unable to SECURE quorum for the transaction Of
business, for reasons tIatnatdfally had nothing
10 do with Pinkham's nomination len on the nominal
lion Of anyone else.
As soon as quorum Of the senate committee
could be secured, the Pinkham nomination was
approved and reported out favorably aSena-
Iorial courtesy had failed Opposition had
failed II there was ever any shch binding prec-
elent to favor the wishes Of obstructi0nist sena-
tors as opponents Of Pinkham here proclaimed,
Wilson had smashed that precedent as he has
t,hashed others.
There Is no reason to SUPPOSE that the Pink.
ham nomination will be defeated on the floor OF
the senate. Nothing but underhand work Of
some kind can now prevent him from being gov
ernof 81 Hawaii And Hawaii is glad Of it.

The Washington Star believes that the lines o
demaraticn between the Republican and Pro
gressiye parties never clearly defined at the best
are becoming more and more tangled and oh
score The Star prints the news that Franci
j. Heney, the fire-eating Californian, has jumped
back into the Republican ranks and plans to rul
for the United States senate as a Republican
The Star says:
Every time politician Of Heney's prominence
makes move Involving Roosevelt, the issue becomes
more and more clouded. Republicans in Washing
ton are bent on amaIgamation Of some sort, but
trey are not willing to accept Roosevelt as leader
However, the people should demand Roosevelt,
there is no telling what the leaders would do. As
an Illinois Republican said today:
"I'n not for Roosevelt as Republican unless the
people OF the United States clamor for him land If
the people set their minds having him, then all
the professional politicians In the world could not
stop him"
Progressiyes in Congress who have made heir
beds and must therefore lie in them worried be-
cause they really don't know where Roosevelt stands.
The Progressiyes who came to Congress- last cleo
ton seem to have the smallest chance Of any TO
get back into the Republican party because as pio
sAeers ia new movement they burned their bridges
behind them There are one or two. like Iafferty Of
Oregon who have one foot Id each party, and may
find way to wriggle back again. but the outand-out
ProgressiYes who have declared against amalgma-
tion will probably make bold stand for Progress
siva party again
Republicans believe that they will have much
larger representation in the next house. Some go
so far as to claim majority. That il regarded how
ever as pretty large claim.
This comment from newspaper of the Star
