BOYD-PAYNE GOLF
MATCH TOMORROW.
Reservoir and Country Club to
Meet For Sixth Time on
Formers Course

The golf teams of the Reservoir
Park and the Country Club of Harris
burg will meet at the Reservoir course
tomorrow afternoon for the sixth
match in the Boyd-Payne cup series.
The Reservoir has won three matches
and the Country Club two, and If the
Reservoir wins tomorrow it will have
the cup.
The arrangements for the match,
which has attracted much attention,
were made to-day. Play will begin at
l o'clock in order to permit free use
of the links by those not on teams as
early as possible. While it is not the
intention to prevent other players
than the contestants from using the
course until after the match ends, yet
the match players will have at all
times the right of way on the links.
The Saturday afternoon rule forbidding
anything but twosomes will be strictly
enforced. The clubs professionals, T.
j. Dinan and Stewart MacEwen, will
act as referees. BY reason of the
difference in play between the match
play of to-morrow's contest and the
medal play of the all-summer handi-
cap club tournament, it is likely that
the latter will be called off for the
day, although it has not been definitely
determined.

POWERS VISITS BEMIDJI.

Victor L. Powers, . the prominent
Hibbing attorney, and mayor of that
place, the richest village in the world,
is the guest of Bemidji today. Mr..
Powers, who is serving his second
term as mayor of the range town,
meeting with no opposition at the
last election, is in Bemidji for the
purpose of attending meeting of the
Business Mems 1855 Treaty commit
tee. He refers with pride to the
progress that Hibbing has made dur
ing the past few years and stated that
the only two unpaved streets there
are now being paved and that within
a short time every avenue in the vii
lage will be equipped with white-way
posts. Hibbing has found~that the
cost of white-way maintenance is less
than for arc-lights. J. G. Lewis, sec
rotary of the Hibbing Commercial
club and one of the iron range live
wires, is also in the city to attend
the conference.

PASS PRECAUTIONARY MEA,

While the three Bemidji banks,
among the strongest in the state, are
affected by the precautionary meas
ure, which the State Clearing House
association took yesterday, when it
decided to restrict the paying out of
cash and placed in effect similar
order to that of 1907, they are in pos
session of enough money to carry on
the ordinary amount of business done
here for some time. The action
taken yesterday was in order to pre-
vent run on banks by Europe.
The large pay rolls of the Bemidji
manufacturing establishments will
be met and business will be carried
on here the same as usual. When
interviewed this morning, A. P.
White, president of the Northern
National bank, III. C. Baer, cashier
of the Security State bank, and A. C.
Wedge, vice-president of the First
National bank, said that they did not
anticipate a complication of condi-
lions here.
It means that until the emergency
currency available under the Aldrich-
Vreeland act is issued that CONNER
cial banks will not pay out cash in
large amounts and that business will
be conducted almost solely by checks.

TO LOWER WATER LEVEL
Lake of the Woods Too High for Pro-

~ Land Rendered Useless.
SURVEY APPROVED BY CONGRESS

Congress, both the house and the
senate, has approved the bill provid-
ing for a survey of the Lake of the
Woods. 'i.'. 1'~.- 's.7 y
It will have far reaching effect
on Baudette and all territory adjac-
ent to the lake. The water level at
present is altogether too high with
the result that hundreds of thousands
of acres of fertile land are rendered
useless.
There is no question that the com
mission when it meets will order the
lake level lowered. 1t will mean a
whole lot for the district, and espe-
cially for those living near the lake.
With the present high level there is
also danger that Pine Island, which
some day will be Baudette's summer
home, will be gradually pushed away.
= With the level placed where it be-
longs this danger will be done away
with. -.
