The county is going after that An
derson habitat in Spooner and it is
going after it to wipe it off the map,

by Graham M. Torrance, county at
torney, accompanied by an order
signed by Judge Stanton, restrain
ing the defendants from removing

and other movable property in the
house at Spooner.
The defendants in the action are
also cited to appear before the court
on March 80 to show cause why an
injunction should not be issued
against the place as public nuis-
ance.
The object of the action is to close
this house absolutely for a period of
at least a year, to sell the furniture
and other property for the benefit of
the county and to impose penalty
against the property itself for $500
to be collected as a part of the gen.
eral taxes against the property.

BEMIDJI FOR "BLUE
SKY" STOCK PEDOLERS

That there will be no more So
called "easy picking" in Bemidji for
the smooth, oily tongued stock, "blue
sky" and get-rich-quick-in
statesmen is evidenced by the action
taken by the Bemidji Commercial
club.
A committee has been appointed
to protect the unwary against such
evils. It is the duty of this COM
mittee to pass upon the merits of
these propositions and if worthy
one is found, the same will be so
recommended through the secretary
of the Commercial club.
OF course there is no way to pre-
vent anyone from coming into Be-
midi to canvass its citizens, but
these citizens are requested to refer
such statesmen to the Commercial
club secretary, who will forthwith
call the committee to pass upon his
project and then if it is found worthy
the committee will issue letter to
that effect, thus giving the prospec-
tive buyer the benefit of it's investi-
cation.
