TO COLLECT FOR TIMBER
State Auditor Preus Finds That Fed
eral Government Illegally Cut State
Lands-Loss is SIS, 900.
ACT OF CONGRESS REQUIRED

Action to collect from $4,000 20
$4,000 from the Federal government
by the state as payment for timber
cut from state lands will be taken
soon by J. A. o. Preus, state auditor
B. F. Case of the auditors office
has been estimating timber near Cass
Lake. He has called the attention OF
Mr.. Preus to the situation there.
'The timber am estimating is all
that is left," said Mr.. Case. "The
government land has been cut over,
and think it is good policy for the
state to dispose of its holdings while
there is all opportunity to do so.>
II am finding considerable state
land that the timber has been cut on
under government sale and supervi-
sion during the past ten or twelve
years. I have known of this condi-
ton for some time, but have never
been in close touch with the different
descriptions of land as during the
past two weeks.
IA stump and top scale of every
description that has been cut over
should be made. think it will re-
veal a cut of from 100000 to 49,
100000 feet of pine timber, which,
valued at the sale price obtained by
the government, would amount to
from $4,000 to $4,000.
"This money has gone into the In
dian fund. I think it requires an act
oc congress to reimburse the state"
Mr.. Preus asked Mr. Case to come:
into rae office as soon as possible to
discuss what action shall be taken.

.BANDBOYI TOREACH
STATE FAIR BY AUTO.
G. w. Brandborg Has Plan Whereby
Musicians Can Be Taken to Ham
line-Car Owners Interested.
MACHINES TO BE DECORATED
Trip: Will Be Converted Into Pub
licity Tour for Magic City Of the
North Advertise City.

Bemidji's splendid band is going
to play at the Minnesota state fair.
but how is it going to get there, it's
treasury being approximately 5000
short of the amount needed for trans
portation, board and other necessary
expenses? c.. W.. Brandborg, man
ager of the City Drug store, and
chairman of the band committee of
the Merchants association, too, has
remained awake nights in an effort
to solve the perplexing problem Cf
how to secure the needed financial
assistance.
Today he hit upon a plan, and it's
a dandy. Here's the solution Brand
borg offers and great many of the
business men think it splendid
idea, .'Send the band down in auto
mobiles" The boys would enjoy
this even more than going by train.
Mr.. Brandborg further suggests that
each car carry two large streamers
on either side, bearing the words,
"Bemidji Band Enroute to State
Fair"
Already some of the car owners
have offered their services to take
the boys down and if arrangements
can be affected with enough auto
owners to make the round trip the
stunt will prove one of the biggest
features ever pulled off in this Sec
tion
ID Should Advise Committee.
eyes, the boys will want to come
back, but there will be large num-
ber of Bemidji people attending the
fair the last few days who will be
only too glad to carry one or two OF
the band members back to Bemidji,"
said Mr.. Brandborg. ''What is want
ed is cooperation and all auto own
ers who can arrange to carry one CT
more passengers should get in touch
with the committee" continued Mr..
Brandborg.
This offers just another opportu-
nifty for Bemidji to do something diff
ferent, and with the proper support
and enthusiasm indications are that
enough boosters will rally to carry
out the program outlined.
Attorney A. A. Andrews was the
first Of several to volunteer the use
of his car and others have announc ced
that they will give their answer dur
ing the next few days. But anyway
the band boys are going to play at
the state fair, and the business men
of Bemidji are going to see that they
get there. And what is more, thou
sands who visit the fair will learn
that Bemidji has a real musical or
ganization.

ing Between Two Sections of Ma

BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS.


Paris, Aug. 3.-(By mail. j.
Northern France accuses Southern
France of lacking courage, of pos
sessing yellow streak, of talking a
whole lot and doing little in the way
of slaughtering Germans.
Since the very commencement of
the war stories have been going the
rounds concerning the behavior of
certain regiments, said regiments be-
ing recruits in the Midi-Southern
France. Boiled down these stories
have it that these regiments turned
and fled in disorder Immediately they
found themselves under fire, that
this happened more than once but
that the guilty regiments had been
badly punished.
1t is true that Frenchmen from
Southern France make bad soldiers I?
TO the neutral observer this would
not appear true for four of Frances
greatest generals hail from that cor
ner of the country. They are Cen
eral Joffre, General Gallieni, General
Foch and General Castelnau.
Between Northern and Southern
France there has always been a feud
not unlike that which exists-or did
exist-betWeen the North and the
South in the United States. So far
as outsiders are concerned, France is
France without distinctions as to the
particular part of the country one
claims at home But among them
selves the Northener looks down up
on the Southener and vice-versa;
both claim to be the real and true
French, both the speakers of the
purest language; both claim chivalry

LIONS KILL TRAINER
LEWIS AT Mortified
UNITED Pressl

Northfield, Aug. 20.-When Major
John Dumont, the famous wild ami
NAL trainer of the Patterson carnival
company, this afternoon attempted
to unloosen a lions tail from the
gates of his cage his intentions were
and the big brute
clawed him to the floor. Four other
lions were in the same cage and by
waving his hand Dumont was able
to hold them off. A moment later
blood was drawn and with a terrific
rush the five lions lacerated their
trainer beyond recognition, before
the assistants with rifles were able
to stop the brutes. The girl bride
of Dumont, to whom he was married
two months ago, swooned while dane
ing in another show of the carnival,
when told of her husbands fate.

No Warning Given.

London, Aug. 20.-All Americans
landed at Queenstown insist that the
Arabic was torpedoed without warn
ing. When the ship was struck there
were 423 persons on board-181 pas
sengers and 242 members of the crew.
Thirty-two are missing and are be-
lieved to have perished. Most OF
those who have not been accounted
for belonged to the crew.. Only six
Of the passengers are reported miss
ing. Whether any of those not ac-
counted for are Americans has not
yet been determined, but there were
only 26 citizens of the United States
aboard, 22 being in the second cabin
and four in the steerage. .L5@s
No First Glass Passengers.
The Arabic carried no first class
passengers, having lately been turned
into a second class liner. The sur
vivors, who left the steamer in the
ships boats and were picked up later
by passing vessels, arrived in Queens
town last night They are being be-
ing accommodated by the White Star
line in hotels and boarding houses
in the little town which so short q
time ago cared for@the survivors and
the dead of the Lusitania. ~-sssz
Few Details
Details of the sinking of the Ar
abic are lacking, but that the loss Of
life was not greater doubtless was
due to the fact that the weather was
fine and that the steamers plying the
German submarine war zone kept
their boats swung out, and other
wise were prepared for emergencies.
The torpedo that sunk the Arabic,
struck her starboard side 100 feet
from the stern. The vessel had left
Liverpool Wednesday afternoon and
had taken southerly course, well off
the Irish coast, doubtless with a view
of avoiding the submarines which fre-
quent the waters nearer the shore.
When some so miles west of where
the Lusitania sunk in May, the Ger
man underwater boat rose to the
surface and launched in torpedo.
The craftsmanship of the Germans,
as in the case of the Lusitania, was
deadly accurate, and, like the Lusi
tania, the big liner quickly settled
down and shortly disappeared.
Witness Another.
Some of the survivors, according
to reports received here, say they
had just. witnessed the torpedOing Of
a British steamer, presumably the
Dunsley, and that this had caused
great alarm on board the Arabic.

FIRE DESTROYS NEW HOME
OF WILLIAM DICKENSON

Fire, originating from defective
chimney, completely destroyed the
home of William Dickinson at the
corner of Park avenue and 9th
street late last evening. The fire
department was powerless to stop the
flames, the nearest hydrant being at.
the corner Of 14th street and Irvine
avenue, and so readily did the fire
spread that the chemical was useless.
In turning in the alarm it was neces-
sary to run three blocks to the near
est telephone. The house was en-
tirely new, the Dickinson family hav-
ing just moved in. Mr.. Dickinson
is the owner Of Third street restaur-
ant. There was $500 insurance on
the house and $500 on the furniture.
