to keep people indoors.

fort to save Minnie Sellman, aged
twenty-six, from, death under an ap

London, Dec. 9.-While the allied
armies in the western area of the
war grope their way forward eau
tiously, graphing with the Germans
here and there for slight advantages,
the great struggle in Russian Poland
continues, with the Germans for the
time being scoring the most points.
Russia has not yet fully conceded the
occupation of Lodz, but in view Of
the repeated German claims and the
Russian admission of the reforma-
tion of her battle line there it would
seem that the German center has
achieved this goal, upsettiag what
for a time was hailed as decisive
Russian victory.
News ofo the capture Of Lodz, ac.
cording to a Central News dispatch
from Amsterdam, aroused extraor-
dinary enthusiasm in Berlin, the
houses there being decorated with
German and Austrian flags. While no
official report has been received of
the number of prisoners and guns
captured a Berlin news dispatch re-
ceived in Amsterdam says 100000
Russian prisoners were taken by the
Germans at LodZ.

are still in Bemidji, and their actions
are being followed with much, inter-
est here, each one providing no in
formation whatever as to the next
move they are to make.
The impression is still general that
it is the intention of the department
to close every saloon of the terri
tory covered by the treaty of 1855.
No action has as yet been taken by
H. A. Larson, chief special agent,
concerning the restraining order
which was served on him yesterday

NEW LAWYER AT WILLIAMS
E. G. Bradley Becomes Member Of
Beltrami County Legal Fraternity

In the last issue of the Northern
News the following interesting item
is contained. The legal fraternity
is pretty we'll represented at Wiliams
at present, another having been I'D.
ded to the list recently. E. G. Brad
ley who formerly practiced at Min.
neapolis has taken homestead
south Of town and intends to hold
it until Uucle Sam turns over the
papers. Mr.. Bradley is a veteran Of
the Spanish-American war having
served in the 18th Minnesota and
also the 9Th and 35th U. s. volun-
teer regiments. Since that time he
has suffered the loss of his eye sight
and is now totally blind, but. this
does not appear to be more severe
handicap in his case than in the
case of Thos. Schall the blind at
torney of Minneapolis who was elect
ed to- Congress from the tenth dis
trict.

HEARINGS HELD
Objections Made to Establishment of
Drain 27-Would Cost 100000
Is Estimate.
ENGINEER APPOINTED FOR NO. 80

Hearings on two judicial ditche:
were held before Judge c. w. Stan
ton at the court house today, being
a final hearing on No. 27, which Pc
titioners desire constructed in towns
1880, 1890 and 160-3O, and the
first hearing on No. 80, drain which
is wanted in the Puposky territory.
A large number of farmers from
the northern end of the county, re-
siding in the vicinity of the proposed
ditch, were in attendance during the
hearing of the drain and several OBJ
jections were made to it's establish
Iment.
Should the ditch be ordered con-
structed it will benefit 58,273 acres,
and will cost 100000, says the en-
gineer's estimate. It will be a
trife more than thirty miles in
length and will run through the town
of Rapid River, and will include some
of Gudrid and 1880. Ernie Bour-
geois is the engineer.
At the hearing today were two of
the viewers, Herbert Sanborn and
Ole Clementson. George Ericsson of
Spooner and A. A. Andrews of Be-
midji are the attorneys for the petit
TONERS. The first hearing was held
in January.
Judge Stanton this afternoon ap.
pointed William Everts as engineer
for ditch No. 80. This drain is want.
ed in the Puposky territory, and
would be twelve miles in length, run.
ming from Lake Christianson
through Lakes Crane and Julia and
cleaning out the outlet of Mud Lake
1t is believed that the establishment
of this drain would do the vicinity
much good.

WILL BRING JOY TO POOR.
Pupils Of Senior and Junior High
Schools to Repair Toys and Assist
in Bringing Christmas Happiness
DOLLS FOR LITTLE GIRLS

With the assistance of every stu
dent of the senior and junior high
schools, children of the poor of Be
midi will be presented with their
full share of toys this Christmas, if
the plan of the faculty is successful.
A. D. Bailey, instructor of the man
ual training department, explained
the proposition to the students this
morning and urged that all toys,
such as dolls, wagons, skates, rock
ing horses, and any other article
that child would appreciate, be
brought to the high school and
placed in the hands of faculty mem
Der. -
Every student with any spare time
will be asked to assist in the manual
training and sewing departments un-
til Christmas in order that all of the
toys may be made over for suitable
gifts. The girls will have charge of
the doll work and during the next
week the entire time of the sewing
Glass;. under the supervision Of Miss
Agnes Halland, will be spent in max
ing dresses, wigs and in repainting
faces
All toys that can be placed in first
class condition will be overhauled by
the manual training students who
are showing much interest and prom
ise to help make the plan a success
The idea was copied from many of
the larger cities where it has been
successful and if the present inter-
est continues in Bemidji the success
here is assured. It is probable that
the toys will be turned over to the
Associated Charities for distribution.

Bemidjians are responding readily

BUILDING
ON SIXTH STREET
us FAVORED BY MAJORITY
Is Of Opinion That Site viii Be &C.
lected Unless Unusual Influence Is
Exercised by Residents.

Bemidji's $4,000 Federal building
is to be built on the site at Beltrami
avenue, between Sixth and Seventh
streets.
At least this is the opinion of
Charles A. Lindbergh, congressman.
OF this district, who has question:
ed the postoffice department as to its
intentions in the matter.
This is What He Says.
In letter which has just been
received by ]. ]. Opsahf, the con-
gresham says:
II find that the site recommended
as first choice is on Beltrami avenue
and Sixth street, known as site num-
Der g. The explanation Of the site
inspector is that this is the most de-.
sirable of the sites, in the best loca-
tion with reference to the future de-
velopment of the town, and that It
probably has the best support Of the
citizenship, which means the ma
jority
Government Must Pay.
"He states that it Is suitable In
every respect and that the only valid
objection that can be made is that
it is outside the limits in which the
railroad would be responsible for the
delivery of mail. In other words.
the government will have to pay for
the delivery because the site is out
side of the 80-rod limit. The report
itself shows, however, that the fac.
tors favorable to the location ass
such that it ought not to be rejected
because of the distance.
''Unless some unusual influence n
exercised, this site is likely to be the
one on. which the postofiice will be
located. Most of those who have
called my attention to the natter
seemed to favor this site"
