DITCH MATTER BRINGS
ARMY into BEMlDJl.

What looked like a regiment des-
cending upon Bemidji this morning
was a large number of farmers from
Lee and Hamre townships and from
Pennington and Marshall counties,
all interested in hearing affecting
judicial ditch No 80 which was pro-
jected by the farmers of Lee and
Hamre and which involved $4,000.
1t seems that in Pennington and
Marshall counties there has been
launched a ditch project of about
100000 magnitude. =.
The original Lee and Hamre town
ship ditch project has gotten into the
matter of an outlet and the farmers
of Lee and Hamre want their own
proposition settled without reference
to some her similar project
And it is up to Judge Stanton to
settle it satisfactorily to all con-
cerned, compared to which Solomon
had cinch in settling the historical
dispute over the ownership of babe.

SWinsonC i i J Can't {; q
HoIdCombined
Office Court

Judge Stanton is scheduled to file
his decision this afternoon in the
matter wherein P. J. Russell, for
mer city attorney, seeks to restrain
the city OF Bemidji from paying
Thomas Swinson his salary Of 500
per month as city engineer and street
superintendent.
The opinion will hold that the
offices of street superintendent and
city engineer are Incompatible and
therefore Mr.. Swinson cannot legally
hold the combined offices.
The opinion will also hold that
the present city council is not bound
by the action of the former city coun-
Gil in fixing the salaries Of the city
engineer and street superintendent al
the January meeting Of the old coun.
Gil.
For the past two years. Mr.. Swim
son has held the combined office of
city engineer and street superintcnd-
ent.
Mr. Swinson was reappointed as
city engineer and street superint end
ent by the new council elected last
February by the people of Bcmidji,
the office being the same as he held
under tho city administration of the
past two years.
IF it is illegal for Mr.. Swim
son to mold the combined offices
of city engineer and street su-
perintendent now," asked rep
resentative of the Pioneer of
Judge Stanton this morning,
didn't he hold the combined
offices illegally during the past
two years?'
Eyes, he did," was the reply
Of Judge Stanton.
"Then the old councils had
no right to combine the two Of
fees, did they7" again queried
the newspaper man.
"They didn't have the right"
answered Judge Stanton.

istering to his comfort and health in
his home
The prime minister is man of high
ly nervous temperament, and OCCASION
ally he has to have a day in bed, where
he receives his private secretaries and
attends to the routine of business. AT
such times his daughter assumes full
charge of his room, allows the secre-
taries just as much time as her fa-
TIERS strength will allow and then po-
litely but firmly ends the days work.
She has the knack of understanding
her fathers moods, and he insists upon
having her near him when every one
else is excluded from his room.
When he is in good health the two
are companions for long walks or at
golf. In the summers Lloyd George
has been fond of going with his wife
and daughters upon camping eXcur-
siOns, living out of doors and cooking
the meals in gypsy fashion. He re-
turns from such holidays with his
nerves much strengthened.
His daughter is wholesome looking
girl, with highly intelligent face, and
is the "apple of his eye" to her father.
