Bridge Contractors CritiCiSe
Bemidji iPaper;ReportRight

An interesting incident at the
meeting of the city council last eve
ming was the reading of letter from
Zalch & Walton, contractors for the
new bridge, in which the writer
made a statement that the Sentinel
has made false statements anent the
company which tended to injure the
standing of the contractors, and criti-
Ching the Sentinel in general.
The statements were credited in
the write up of the council meeting
two weeks ago and the point at
issue was practically the same as ap
peared in the Pioneer, both quoting
G. w. Harnwell, general manager of
the St. Hilaire Lumber company,
who appeared before the council and
stated that the bridge contractors
owed the St. Hilaire company the
sum of $5,731. To be perfectly ex-
plicit there should be one cent added
to the above figures. In making es-
Inmates of work for the allowance of
payments on the job, the bridge
contractors had made affidavits that
all bills had been paid. The asser-
tion of Mr.. Harnwell, who was look

Mr.. Cooper admitted he had writ
ten to w. j. Kittle, secretary of the
Milk Producers association of Chi

Chicago last night, but asserted his
letter contained no reference to the
appointment of "friend' of the

dence presented to Federal investi-
gators.

It was understood, he asserted, that
whoever was named to represent the
producers would be required "to act
without expense to the government
or the food administration" and be-
cause 1T would be financial burden

"SOPnS' WILL GIVE
"HARD TINES" PARTY

The Sophomore class intends to
give hard time party Saturday eve
ming. The committee is Alice Dyer,
Evelyn Kirk, Ralph Tofemaker, Ber-
tina Webster, Carl Crothers and Rob-
ert Naylor.
At the meeting last night it was
contemplated inviting the football
team but as only part Of the class
was present the matter was held
over.
Tied" Sexton, secretary and treas
urer of the class, was called upon
for a report but Tied" was unaware
that a financial statement was due
and so was not prepared.
The Freshman class has appointed
a committee of four to selevt it's rep
resentatives in the forthcoming de-
clamatory contest. The committee
consists of Willard McGregor, Lor-
raine Kreatz, Verna Barker and

ing after his company's interests, re-
futed the affidavits of the payment
of bills, and that's just what the pa
pers said.
Last night was read letter from
the bridge builders stating that such
was not so, that they had paid the
St. Hilaire, etc., etc. But another
letter had also been written by Mr..
Harnwell notifying the council that
he had received word from the Min
neapolis office that the contractors
had turned over warrants from the
county's share for payment of the
bridge of $2,466, and also check for
$1,000 to the St. Hilaire company,
leaving balance still due of $2,-
265. These payments were made af-
ter Mr.. Harnwell had Informed the
council of the negligence of the con-
tractors, and the Minneapolis office
had so advised Mr.. Harnwell. At the
time Mr. Harnwell addressed the
council two weeks ago he was cor
rect and the papers of Bemidji so
quoted him.
Hence, the Sentinel was correct
and so was the Pioneer.

Dairy League Head Admits

New York, Oct 16.-R. d. Cooper,

The first days canvass of the city
in the second Liberty Loan drive,
Monday, was quite successful and
$4,000 worth of bonds were sold.
The canvass is to be thorough and
is being made from house to house.
There was scarcely any discourtesy
shown the canvassers and very little
of the spirit of disloyalty.
It is very encouraging to note that
there are goodly number of young
ladies and young men that are sub
scribing for bonds, thus establishing
a habit of saving and spirit of pa
triotism that is highly commendable.
Soldiers Parents Sacrifice.
It is noticeable that the parents
of boys in the service are usually the
most ready to make sacrifices to take
part by service or the purchase of
bonds in the successful prosecution
of the canvass. In one family, where
two boys are in the service, nearly
every member Of a large family are
purchasers of Liberty Bonds.
It is evident, also, that all who
are able to purchase bonds are not
regarding it as duty or a privilege
to respond to this call from their
country and it is doubtless due to
their failure to fully realize the con-
ditions that confront the nation.
"Four Minute Men" Start.
M. J. Brown is inaugurating a
campaign of education and has or

It is gratifying to note that many
Bemidji citizens, who have been luke
warm in their support of the country
in this war, have changed their at
titude to the extent thatSthere is nc
longer any occasion to question their
loyalty. The sheep and goats are
being very effectively located and
the goats are an Intestinal majority.
