BEMIDJI AN IDEAL RESORT

For several years ]. W. Boeing, a
we'll known business man of Mimic,
North Dakota, and HIS family, have
spent the summer Months in Bemidji,
residing.at their Lavinia cottage and
in connection with the campaign
which is being Waged to make this
city more prominent as summer re-
sort, Mr.. Boeing in a letter just re-
ceived by w. L. Brooks, cashier of the
Northern National bank and chair
man Of the Commercial club and
Merchants association Summer Hotel
committees, says:
Since 1909 we have spent several
summers at Lavinia on the east shore
of Lake Bemidji and we are still firm
in the belief that there is no other
resort in northern Minnesota that Of

there. =.

Lakeside and Lavinia, on the east
shore, the cottagers who come there
each summer, the excellent drinking

and the woods surrounding offer
enough Of, vii dernee natural
beauty to suit most any one! a sum-

II believe the establishment of ade-
quate accommodations: for such as
desire a short summer outing, on the
east shore somewhere and north of
the Mississippi outlet, would do much
to increase the popularity of Lake Be
midi as a summer resort for North
Dakota people,

OSWEGO WINS FIRST GAME
New York Champions Defeat big
Bemidg" in Most Sensational Game
Ever Played in This City
SAME TEAMS PLAY TONIGHT

In what was perhaps the most SEN
sational game of basketball ever play
ed in Bemidji, the crack Oswego bas-
ketball team last evening defeated
big Bemidg," the strong quint of
this city, by score of % to II.
The visitors gave a wonderful DEM
onstration of basketball and in ad-
ministering the defeat used a ma
chine-line play which showed plainly
the reason for their brilliant record.
1t was purely case Of too much
Grimsted. This big Swede, with
seven field baskets and two fouls to
his credit, was to large extent re-
sponsible for Bemidji's defeat. The
defense and offense of the Oswego
quint was built almost entirely
around the giant Scandinavian, and
his floor work and passing was the
real feature of the contest. He surely
lived up to advance notices, and his
playing made hit with the 400 root
ers who crowded the hall. !.
Although outweighed and out
reached by the fasteners, the local
boys were not outgamed or outfought,
and not for minute during the
game were the players permitted to
lag. Oswego evidenced tendency to
hold, but aside from this feature the
contest was one of the fastest and
most free from fouls ever played

AMERICAN WOMEN
EXECUTED AS SPIES

London.-(By Mail to New York. }
That two nurses of American ma
tionality, but of German sympathies,
serving with the British army in
France, have been detected acting as
spies and "effectually dealt WITH"
Is the assertion made today by the
Nursing Mirror.
"There have been persistent ru-
mOrs of female spies masquerading as
nurses, both abroad and at home"
says the journal, "but we have been
slow to believe them Unfortunately,
evidence of a convincing character
has been placed before us.
Lord Kitchener, itsappears, was
afraid that the reports were not
groundless, and earlier in the war,
when he was at Southampton, he dis
covered that there was a leakage Of
news going on, and made inquiries,
with the result that four women were
found to be the sculprits.
1.-TWO Of these were nurses and they
were at once requested to go inland,
not because they were suspected of
wilfully giving information to the
enemy, but because they had been
lacking in discretion.
ION the other. side of the Chan
mel, matters have been more serious.
Two nurses were proved to have acted
as spies.
''They were, of course, effectually
dealt with, and it is good to know
that they were not of English nation
atty, but Americans with German
sympathies.
"Still, the incident proves the urg-
ent Importance of no nurses or wo-
men being allowed to enter homes
of foreign hospitals whose attendants
have not been subjected to- the most

Field Data Renort.

Field Data Report.
This inspection was made to de-
termine the sanitary quality of the
supplies from two drilled wells. des-
ignated in this report as wells No.
3 and No. 4, which were recently IN
stalled to supplement the supplies
from wells No. and No. 2 (artesian)
from which the entire water supply
for Bemidji was previously obtained.
Well No. 3.-This well is located
on an abandoned end of Mississippi
street, about SO feet from Third
street and one block from the pump
ing station. It was completed in
July, 1914, and has been in opera
tion since that time. It had a capa-
city of 172 gallons per minute when
tested at that, time The depth is
1877 feet. s.s.
When the we'll was first pumped
the presence of air in the system gave
evidence that all connections were
not tight. This condition was rene
died when the various joints were
frightened. Owing to the unsanitary
protection around this we'll at the
surface, any leakage at this point
would contribute contamination to
the supply. A concrete pit should
be built around and over the top Of
the we'll casing in order to elimtnatas
the present method Of using q pack
ing Of manure to- protect. the we'll.
from freezing The surface pfot6c-
lions for wells No. and No. 2 are OF
this type and are very: satisfactory.
Well No. 4-This well is located
at the southeast corner of Third street
and Park avenue. It was drilled to
a depth of 263 feet, being completed
about November 1, 1914. This we'll
had capacity of 100 gallons per
minute when tested at the time it
was completed.
Previous to the construction OF
we'll No. 4, the supply was insufficient
to satisfy the needs of the community.
Well No. 2 presumably has become
clogged with sand and only q scant
supply is obtainable therefrom. Sam
pies were collected from the pressure
pump and from three places on the
distribution system. It was imp0ssi-
bel to sample each well separately,
owing to the inaccessibility of wells
No. 3 and No. and the fact that all
are connected to single suction
leading to the pump.
Interpretation of Results.
The analysis Of sample 1903, COL
lected from tap on the pressure
pump and representing the supplies
from all of these wells, shows count
of 1 bacteria per c. c., and B.coli
was not fround present in / &C. or
100 c. c. amounts. The chemical an
alysis of this combined supply shows
a water of excellent physical proper
ties, a fair degree of hardness, with
but traces of the various unoxidized
nitrogen constituents. These re-
suits show the supplies direct from
these wells to be free from contamina-
ton.
The analysis of samples 14084,
14085 and 1906, collected at various
points on the distribution system,
show counts of 26, S and 3 bacteria
per &C, respectively, and B.coli was
not found present in c. c or 100 c.
c. amounts. These analyses prove
that no contamination was present in
the distribution system at this time.

BUREAU SUPPLIES
MANY WITH JOBS
Over 200 Men and 100 Women Have
Secured Work During June at
Employment Office.

The Illinois free employment bureau
located at 1928 Second avenue, has
just closed one of the busiest months
that it has experienced since the Of
fee was established in Rock Island.
While the work has been a trifie light
er than in June of last year, this is
explained by the fact that at this
time a year ago there was an unusual
demand for farm hands in Nebraska
and Kansas, and the call for men
from the western states has been less
urgent this year. However, the de-
mand for laborers in this locality is
heavy and the local Office has been
kept busy supplying employers with
men. In the last two weeks there
have been many requests for farm
hands and railroad workers in this
part of the state.

Secretary Lansing disclosed today
that the investigation being conducted
by the United States government into
cases of alleged misuse of the Ameri-
can flag to deceive German submarine
commanders had not yet been com
pleted but that evidence in specific
cases probably would be called sepa-
rately to the attention of Great Brit

Homeopathic Favor Prohibition.

Chicago, July Homeopathic ply
sicians are ready to espouse the cause
of national prohibition, according to
Or. f. Arthur Carr, of Lincoln, Neb.
who presented the report of the inter-
state committee TO the convention OF
the American Institute Of Homeopathy
here today. The report carried recon-
mendations OF the Harrison narcotic
law and congratulations Of the insti-
tute, for the part any of its members
played in supporting the measure.
Dr. J. P. Sutherland of Boston OBJ
jected to the recommendations. stating
that the practice Of the homeopathic
physicians had not required q regu-
latory measure like the Harrison law
and that he believed there had been
much politics behind the law as well
as purely ethical motives.
The convention. on Or. Sutherland's
voted to adopt the commit
tees report without the recommended
tons.
