mutt And JEFF" PLEASES
Bud Fishers Famous Characters Score
Hit in Production Staged Here
Last Evening-Stage Small
PLAY IN H1BB1NG TONIGHT

'Mutt and Jeff in Panama." was
the offering at the Athletic club the
atre last evening. The show, which
is one of the largest to ever visit Be-
midi, was also one of the best. The
stage accommodations at the Athletic
club theatre are small and the seen
cry of the comany could not be used
to advantage nor could the actors and
actresses do themselves justice.
But even with these handicaps the
comedy was good and Mutt and JEFF
kept the audience in good spirit dur
ing the entire three acts.
The leading roles were all well ia
ken and the chorus did it's share in
making the play an enjoyable one.
Tonight "Mutt and Jeff will be
staged in Hibbing and from there
will go to Duluth. /

Akeley having been the last. Both
Bagley teams, the girls and the boys
won from Akeley, the former winning
by score of to 0 and the boys by

feature. On the other hand the boys
game was fast and many difficult
shots were made. Larson of Bagley
starred, scoring IA field baskets and
connecting for two fouls.

FIVE YEAR DELAY
FOR POSTOFFICE
Congressman Steenerson Writes That
Crowded Conditions in Architects
Office Means Long Wait
CONSIDERING PLAN OF RELIEF
Suggests That Effort Be Made in Two
Years to Have Appropriation In
creased No Report on Site Yet

|
That Bemidji will not be provided
with a Federal building for at least
five years is the opinion of Halver
STEVENSON, congressman from this
district at the time the appropriation
for the $4,000 postoffice was voted.
i In a communication received from
the Congressman today he says that
unless some bill is passed providing
an increase to the force in the office
of the supervising architect, it will
be four years and half before the
plans and specifications for the build
ing can be completed and placed be-
fore the contractors for bids. This
would appear that there is little pos
sibility of the new postoffice being
constructed inside of the five year
mark. Even should the architects
force be increased it will mean two
years before any action is taken.
No Site Report
Mr.. STEVENSON upon investigation
finds that no report as to the selec-.
ton Of a site has been filed. He sug-
gests that in two years should the
residents feel that the appropriation
already made for the building not be
large enough that an increase be
requested.
Need Immediate Aid
Conditions at the postoffice are
now over crowded and just what the
clerks will be able to do with the
daily increasing mail is a conundrum.
Postal inspectors and Site Agent
Robinson complimented the Bemidji
force on the manner in which the Of
flee is conducted and marvel. at the
efficiency with which the work is
done under the existing conditions.
How the present postoffice can care
for the mail, should it increase at the
same proportion during the next Ave
years as during the last, is mystery.

MILL BEGINS MONDAY
Log Cutting Operations by Crookston
Lumber Company to Begin Week
Earlier Than Usual
WORK DAY AND NIGHT FORCE

The big Crookst0n saw mill which
has been at rest during the winter
months will open for the summer
saving next Monday morning and
will continue with a full day and
night crew until the ice next win
ter prohibits the work.
The work of cutting an ice channel
from the dock to the mill has been

season.
This is one of the few years that
operations have begun during the
month of March, which is about ten
days earlier than last year. The
logging operations will continue all
summer, practically all of the logs be-
ing shipped over the M. & I. and Red
Lake roads. The logs will be taken
onto the dock and dumped into the
lake, from where they will be taken

SAYS PROGRESSIVE PARTY IN
BONNER is NO MORE

A. H. Conner, of Standpoint, a
member of the legislature from Bon
ner county is in the city on business
before the public utilities commits
sion. Mr.. Conner has just been re-
nominated and is confident of his
reelection.
Bonner county gave Governor
Haines a magnificent endorsement
when you consider the comparatively
small vote he received up there two
years ago." said Mr. Conner. His
administration has been eminently
satisfactory and he will carry the
n cTth by surprisingly large major
ity.
The same is true of Senator
Grady. There is a general feeling
that the senator has made good and
that he should be retained where he
is.
About the Progressives? Well,
tnlnk they are all back, that Is, are
but the self-constituted leaders.
There was a warm contest in Bon
ner county over the nomination for
sheriff, but scarcely $50 votes were
cast in the county
While, of course, this may not be
their full strength. there are not
many more of them left. I think l
am perfectly safe in saying that the
only votes which the candidates of
the Progressive party will receive
will be confined to the candidates
themselves and their most intimate
friends. Their strength is and will
be negligible. Statesman.

Moses Alexander. Democratic
candidate for governor. spoke to a
large audience at the Lyric Theatre
last Thursday night on the political
issues cf the day, and. although q
candidate, he talked much more bus
mess than politics.
He showed where in many In
stances, the business man and the
farmer are much more careful in
hiring men to work for them than in
sci citing officials to run the state
government.
BY comparison he showed where
the cost had more than doubled
since the close OF John T. Morrison 3
administration in 1905 although
each candidate, prior to election,
had pledged himself to lover taxes.
He stated that If elected governor
be would start In at the basement Of
the state house and clean out the en-
tire bunch and after telling how he
was going to get rid of Lot OF use-
less clerks and officials who do II tie
except draw their pay. admonished
the Democrats nos TO think that be
wss doing that to make room for
them, aud stated that they need not
come down there after job until ne
sent for them.
II was business talk from busi-
ness man who has made great sue
cess of his own private affairs and
who also made the best mayor Boise
City has ever had, and while we
may disagree with him on his ability
TO accomplish all that he says be
will perform, yet his hearers uld
not help but be impressed with bis
thorough knowledge of the business
