Opium Found Hidden

A considerable quantity of opium,
valued at around 500, was today
turned ove to Constable Phil Wolf
by HALEY Eddy, a schoolboy of Ely,
who said he found it while playing
near a gravel pit. An investigation
has been started by the constable to
find how the drug came to be cached
and to learn whether there is a traf-

the opium was in tins, covered owe
with debris. He took it to a drug

On Thursday, Friday and Saturday
of this week there is to be played
another good basketball series at the
armory when the Big Bemidg team
meets the Saltwater "Bachelors,'
one of the best teams in the state,
and there should be merry scramble
for the long end of the score.
The bachelors" is the same team
that won the state high school tour
nament at Carleton in 1914 and the
members have played together as an
independent team since and certainly
should put up stellar game.
Last season, the Bachelors" de-
feated the Shermans of St. Paul,
from whom the Big Bemidg team
won two hard played games this
season.
The visitors will come with Sim
onet and Parkhurst as forwards; i;

be the subs. Bemidji will present

will be enough coal to meet the de-

On February 1, according to re-

into the coal supply at Duluth and
Superior, whence Bemidji obtains its
coal, and on that date there were only
$4,000 tons of hard coal on hand at

LACK PHONE SERVICE, LIGHTS;
LAKE SERVICE MENTIONED
Property Heavily Taxed and Benefits
Are Declared Unequal; Club En-

One of the most interesting and
at the same time valuable reports
made by a committee to the Com
mercial club. was that last evening
when DR.. G. M. Palmer, chairman
of the civic committee, presented in
formally some of the results of an
extended inquiry to owners of sum-
mer outing property in Bemidji and
vicinity, in substance IFS Bemidji do
ing its full duty towards you? Any
suggestions along that line?"
The matter of building up the
summer business in Bemidji, which
already means much to the city and
community, came up in the CONNER
.cial club some time. ago and in the
discussion there were some things
mentioned already patent to those
who are endeavoring to advance the
interests of Bemidji. The subject
was referred to the civic committee
of which DR.. Palmer is chairman.
Many Inquiries Made.
Ninety letters were written to as
many summer colonists, many of
whom are owners of property in the
vicinity of Bemidji used exclusively
for the summer season. The letters
were sent out February 1 and al
ready about 20. replies have been re-
ceived, coming from wide range
throughout the state.
One man who has been summer
colonist here for the past seventeen
years, and is therefore sumner
N~oyo6 E0rIrc
in a manner that covers practically
everything embodied in other letters.
Property Heavily Taxed.
He raises the question of taxation
of summer property for one thing and
asserts that the tax rate on the prop
erty is as high as it is in the city
of Bemidji. He states that it re-
quires about SO hours from the time
a letter is mailed at Lavinia to its
delivery in Bemidji. Express from
Grand Forks requires about three
days to delivery AS to the taxes the
writer states those who who are COM
PEELED to pay have poor roads, not
to compare with other roads, in fact
he says little benefits are received
for the large taxes paid, compared
with others.
"Bum" Phone Service.
Phone service in substance is rot
ten,' says the writer, about as good
as no service at all. He says the
Northwestern Telephone company
charges SIS to $40 for about six
or eight-party line for the short
summer season, while Farmers line
is also a competitor and the result
is the cottagers have practically no
service at all.
Electric lights from the city, ex-
tended to Lavinia and Lakeside, is
also suggested, not as charity
proposition but as business mat
ter.
Floating logs in the lake are also
mentioned and lack of regular boat
service to lakeside. Better boats are
also suggested.
Other letters in the main voiced
the same suggest complaints. The
lack of fresh vegetables in early sea-
son and. high prices were mentioned
in one letter.
But one of the burdens was lack
of delivery service on the lake.
Phone Prices Soar.
The lack of telephone service was
discussed and it was stated that when
