CHAPMAN HOME IS GUTTED
Midnight Fire, Of Unknown Origin,
Destroys Bemidji Avenue Residence
Chief Doran Issues Warning.
ACCIDENTS NARROWLY AVERTED

Fire discovered in the w. S. Chap

last evening, completely gutted the
structure, the flames having spread
to all parts of the building before
the fire department was called The
building wa partially covered by in
surance.
The fire was not discovered until
flames were seen to shoot from
several parts of the structure. Close
to the house was pitched one of the
carnival company tents, but this was
removed before any damage was
caused to it. The firemen poured
water on the burning building from
several streams and did we'll in saw
ing the structure without total loss
No one was living in the house.
One of the actresses of the carnival
said this morning that she smelled
smoke early in the evening. The ire
broke out att 1890. This leads the
firemen to believe that there was a
fire within the house for
several hours.
II think that greater cooperation
ought to be given firemen at fires,"
said Herbert Doran, chief, this morn
ing. DRIVERS of automobiles remain
in the path of the truck and think
nothing of driving over hose which
is being pulled to the hydrants. One
fireman was heavily thrown because
of this and seriously injured. The
boys have shown that they can fight
fires and all they need is little

. At a special meeting of the city
council held this morning resolu-

of Owner Patterson of the carnival

fire team, which for years has re-

and which is loved by every resident
of Bemidji, was made useless to the

her favorites. This is the basis for
that blind trust to which the bellig-
erents now are appealing as their
justification for a continuation of
the conflict. But, during the past
twelve months, nature has betrayed
all her ancient proteges in turn. In
evitably she must continue her i'm
partial attitude, for human strength
and human wealth are limited, and
no belligerent has enough left to
bribe change in natures attitude.
The past year has proved that CIV
ilization is able to save itself from
destruction. CiviliZing influences will
not go down in the ruin of the con-
flict. On the contrary rotting sores,
hidden below civilizations surface,
have been exposed in all lands as
only war of the present magnitude
could uncover them. If the wal
hadn't come these diseased spots
probably would have spread, weaken
ing civilization and retarding its
healthy growth. When the war is
over, and the final compromise is
signed, civilization will be able tc
move forward in many new direc.
tions-to develop more humanity in
one country; to obliterate degener.
ative tendencies in another; to modi'
fly caste and encourage discipline and
efficiency in third; to expel corrup
tion and perhaps absolutism itself
from fourth. The time for such 6
peace is now, or at most, when Con
stantinople falls. Europe's states
men must soon confess the fruitless
ness of pursuing phantom victories
The day is fast approaching when th'
conflict, even if it doesn't cease, viii
begin to degenerate into gigantic
clinch, with the casualties every
where fast decreasing.

HOT FIGHT ENDS MONDAY
Koochiching County Option Battle
Will Be Brought to Close at Polls
Hard Feeling Aroused IT,.
CONFIDENT OF VICTORY

One of the warmest county option
battles fought since the new state
law has been in operation will be
closed in Koochiching day after to-
morrow at the polls. The campaign
has been bitter one and the "wet"
and "dry" factions have left nothing
undone which might add to the
chances Of victory.
The International Falls papers
have taken opposite views in the
matter and hard feeling has been
aroused among the citizens. The
only question before the voters at the
election will be: Shall the sale of
intoxicationg liquor be prohibited.
The polls will be open in Inter-
national Falls from 6 a. m. to 9 p. m.
In the villages and townships during
the same hours.
The following were appointed as
judges at International Falls: First
ward, Ed Somers, Dave Hurlburt,
Walter Zierath; Second ward, Fred
Cook; Robert Doherty, j. H. Brown;
Third ward, George P. Watson,
Frank Wagner, Ben Bacon.
The clerks, one of whom must be
''wet" and the other dry" will be
elected by the judges in their respec-
tive wards.
= According to the county option law,
one challenger known to be in favor
of prohibition and one against, will
be allowed in each polling place.
The "drys" are confident of vic
tory.

RANGER JOHNSON TO REMAIN
Bemidji Man Retains Position Fire
Hazards to Be Greatly Increased
Through Inadequate Patrol.

Since the legislature refused to
grant a sufficient appropriation for
use by the forestry service it has been
known that a large number Of the
departments employees would fall by
the wayside when the fiscal year
ended, which is today. AS a result
s34 members will severe their connec-
tions with the service tomorrow.
Z. F. Johnson, the Bemidji forest
ranger, who begin. a months fur
Tough next Monday, during which
time he will visit at his old home in
Ohio, is retained. Ranger Johnson is
regarded as an excellent official, said
W.. T. Cox, state forester, during a
recent visit in Bemidji.
Efficiency Cut a Half.
Word of the wholesale slash in the
forestry departments efficiency was
given out yesterday by w. T. Cox,
state forester. The men who will no
longer serve the state are those who
formed the fire protection brigade Of
the department. Mr.. Cox said that,
while the cut does not entirely de-
stroy the effectiveness of the remain
ing force, it is decreased in efficiency
one-half.
What It Means.
What the reduction in force means
to the state may be summarized as
follows:
Concentration on greatest fire
risks.
Larger fields for remaining
men to cover.
Localities to handle fires at
their own expense.
Absence of directing hands of
rangers in >conflagrations.
Large areas of timber not suf-
fciently patrolled.
. Demand May Be Wide.
:. "Experience has shown" said Mr..
Cox, "that in dry periods the lack of
organization and a fixed local re-
ssponsibility resulted in q widespread
damage by fires. Our rangers and
patrolmen will continue to give all
the assistance they can to local ef-
forts at preventing or stemming the
spread of flames in the forests. -.
To Concentrate Efforts.
"By concentrating their efforts to
obtain proper disposal of slash by
lumbermen, ditch and road contract
ors, the rangers will be able to re-
move the danger of fire from these
sources. Careful attention will be
given to the supervision of fire patrol
by the railroad companies, the clean
ing up of their rights-of-way and
the maintenance of their locomotives
in good order.
More Cooperation.
t. 'Co-operative efforts, which in the
past have been so successful, will be
greatly increased. This is true of the
settlers fire fighting brigades and or
ganized townships that have provided
fire fighting funds. The mining COM
panies and the hundreds of rural and
trunk line telephone companies that
have been helpful will be called on
for more systematic and complete
fire protective cooperation"

Of Grand Rapids are operating tho
same as usual today, although CLOS
ing ORDERS effective yesterday, were
issued by the federal authorities q I
week ago.
The Grand Rapids saloon men feel
confident that they will be permitted
to operate until the day of the hear
ing, August II, when an application
Cor a temporary injunction will be
presented to Judge c.. w. Stanton OF
the district court. The saloon men
claim that the government has no
right to close Grand Rapids under the
provisions of the 1855 treaty and will
offer several points not heretofore
brought forth to prove their point.
Agents Not Accounted for.
Several Grand Rapids saloons were
opened later than usual today, the
proprietors evidently wishing to
learn whether Indian officers were to
ignore the restraining order. When
the officers failed to appear bar ap-
rons were, donned, the ice chests fill
ed and everything made ready for q
good Saturdays business. Not
single stranger in the city was iden-
titled as an Indian officer. Several
agents were in Bemidji today but
the others are not accounted for. No
announcement has been made con-
cerning what action will be taken by
the government relative to the en-
forcement of the Grand Raptds
order. @#
Policy Severely Criticised.
The Grand Rapids Herald-Review,
one of the. leading weekly papers Of
the state, severely criticises. the gov
ernment for the manner in which
the liquor situation is being handled
in the dry" zone, and IL spe2kn1
of the department allowing several
towns to remain open, says: :.zz=.=7zss=S
'If any other department OF the
government should so conduct its af-
fairs, the responsible officials would
be ousted and perhaps punished at
the same time. For instance, If
Itasca county voted dry, could the
officers of the government permit Ger
tain towns to delay complying with
the law, as they choose and close up
others summarily? No, and every
body knows it. Even-handed justice
is one of the primary and sane foun-
dation stones of our government.
"No heather ruler would issue
mandate for his dominion that was
to apply to a part of his people, and
allow others to go Free,
"The department of the interior
has the machinery to enforce this
law at one and the same time over
all the territory, and il 1t does not
have the machinery-pitiful excuse
Uncle Sam has the money to hire
the men to make the closing order
sweeping, and not a matter of piece
meal work, small, childish, and
petty as it is being carried out in
this territory, to make our school
boys and girls mock and laugh at
such Inconsistency In the govern
