fastest light weight car, who return
ed home last week with three of his
ribs broken and most startling and
spectacular record as a "speed mer-
chant which he made in the Cana
dian races, left Bemidji about four
weeks ago and went to Western
Canada where he was booked to ap-
pear with his Bigmidj at all the big
contests to be held under the super
vision of the Interna tional Motor
Contest association. + The novelty of
Jewett's small car and his already
high record gained his entry into
the races, but the fearless driver soon
showed that he was a factor to be
reckoned with in the championship
races ~ '-
The races were held at all the
large points in Western Canada snch
as Winnipeg. Calgary, Red Deer, Ed
monitor, Saskatoon and Brandon.
Eight fast drivers competed in, all
of the races and Jewett is now con-
sidered to be one of the very best of
the eight. The drivers with whom
Jewett has been competing are:

DIT1Y'SBO0KS SHOW
LARGE INCREASE OVER
THOSE OF LAST YEAR

In the return of the books of as
sessment by City Assessor Archie
Ditty, it is noticed they show an in,
crease over last year of $125,66O
which will mean that Bemidji will
have approximately $4,000 more
than it received last year from its
tax assessment.
Last years figures show an assess
ment of $36,674 in class No. 2, while
Mr.. Ditty's figures show a total OF
$53,368 in the same class.
In class No. 3, last years figures
were 390,S49, while Mr.. Dirty turn
ed in assessments totaling $5O7,178.
Glass No. shows that last year
$53,371 was reported as assessed
valuation, while this year the books
show $66,O12.
The work of Assessor Ditty and
that of the board of review this year
is said to be better than ever and the
figures, showing the increase in rev.
enue Bemidji. will receive, indicate
careful work and good service for the
salary paid by the taxpayers of Be-
midi.

DR.. G. M. Palmer, chairman Of tn
Beltrami County Public Safety CON
has received the followin
from the Minnesota Public Safet
1t has been recommended by va
rious authorities that county
road work be suspended during
harvest season.
The commission, upon con-

it best not to issue an order,
finding that each piece of road
work must be. judged on it's
. merits, and that In many cases
the prosecution Of road work is
Of the highest Importance.
Except where road work is a
pressing necessity, farm labor
should have precedence by all
means. ..... ,~~.~ ,r.,~7 -, ""r''''
You are advised to give this
matter your consideration and
to take it up with your county
authorities If any work is be-
f. ing done which could be put off
