STATE SUPREME COURT
UPH0LDS JUDGE WRIGHT

When the Minnesota supreme court
filed it's decision in the delinquent tax
case of Beltrami County VS.. Bemidji
Townsite company, the court also
filed decision in the appealed case,
Estate ex rel Carl Berquist, relator.
VS.. District Court Of Beltrami county,
and the Hon. Judge Wright one of
the judges thereof, respondent" The
syllabus of the decision declares that
the trial court was right in it's action
in regard to the case, as follows:
/. Under the rule adopted in state
ex rel Messen VS.. district court, 142
Mimi. 1856, unless the evidence in a
proceeding under the workmen S
compensation act is such that upon
a consideration Of it, together with
all reasonable and fair inferen ces, it
will lead reasonable minds to out one
con clusion, a question of fact arises
and the findings of the trial court
must be sustained. Applying this
rule to the evidence in this case, it is
held to justify a finding that the re-
lationship of employer and employe
did not exist between relator and
defendant.
2. There was no error in the rul-
ings upon tn admission of evidence.
Affirmed.

FIRE CHIEFS REPORT
FOR PAST FISCAL YEAR
QUITE INTERESTING
Defective Flues, Overheated
Stoves, Bad Wires, Other
Things Cause Alarms

For the fiscal year of 1919, in the
report of Fire Chief Daley, it is
shown that alarms were answered for
eighteen defective chimneys and the
cost to the tax payers for answering
the calls was $371.50.
Four overheated stoves called the
department four times, d back draft
furnace also started a blaze, water
long left on gas stove caused anoth-
er alarm of fire, thick dust on fur
mace was another instance, unpro-
tected stove caused a fire to start, a
smoking furnace and super heater
likewise called out the fire boys. This
cost the city S475.50 for the last tis
cal year.
Defective wiring added 1855 and a
forgotten electric iron started some
thing which involved the city $32.
Sparks from a switch engine, it is
recorded, set fire to a nearby build
ing and spontaneous combustion was
another reason for making these
two calls, that cost $3.50.
Then there was smoker who
snapped a butts that he was pulling
on hotel stairs, and in fighting the
blaze the city was out $45, as it
didn't amount to much of anything.
Carelessness is charged with cost
ing 1862, and five calls were Of un-
known origin with $3O35O for the
firemen's services. Two false alarms
added their bit of $40 and when it is
added the total amounts to. .$2,119

MUSICAL TREAT FOR
BEMIDJI ON TUESDAY.
AT GRAND THEATRE
Norwegian Nightingales Will
Present Program Under
the Lerstad Company

The Norwegian Nightingales, Agnes
vina Lerstad, soprano, are young
ladies with naturally delightful
voices, who are rapidly climbing the
pinnacle Of fame. They are being
featured in the Lerstad Concert COM
pany under the management Of the
Northwestern Lyceum bureau of St.
Paul.
With them are Lucille Schroeder,
violinist, whose equal is not often
heard. She has lifelong familiar
ity with the violin, has recaiysd her
training from New York artists and
has played before many audiences
from the east to Chicago. The harp
ist, Marvel Lange, adds quaint at
traction to the program. The sweet
harmony of the harp is not equaled
by any other instrument, and the
training and experience Miss Lange
has received enables her to produce
most pleasing effects. All this is de-
lightfully supported by the excellent
accompanying on the piano by Miss
Jennie Nelson. Miss Nelson's remark
able technique enables her to perform
not only as a soloist, but also as an
accompanist Of a most sympathetic
type.
Miss Hazel Bryngclson, who, as a
reader, makes the audience both
laugh and cry, is also with the Nor
wegian Nightingales. She expresses
the subtle humor found in O. Henry's
StOriaS hv tho irf1o rt iopc of bor vo;oo
and in her splendid facial expression.
She also read from other authors.
Her lighter numbers include many
dialects.
1t has been said by most severe
critics that this is a group of artists
that is seldom, if ever, surpassed.
So there is a real treat in store for
the people of Bemidji next Tuesday
evening, February 10, at the Grand
theatre.

CR00KSTON LUMBER
MANAGER SPEAKS TO
BUSINESS COLLEGE
G.. L. listed Gives Sound Advice
to His Hearers; Others
Would Benefit

C. L. listed, lumber manager of the
Crookston Lumber company, lectured
Friday afternoon on "The Working
Conditions Today, as Compared with
Yesterday" to the students of Be-
midi Business College. He said:
"The conditions of business at the
present time are not as they were in
the past. Salaries are better and
labor is appreciated for its worth.
Employees are no longer classed as
mere machines. They are entitled to
be recognized as people. Employers
are, .bettering conditions by installing
maiiy labor saving devices, together
with improved tools and equipment.
Safeguarding machinery decreases &C.
cidents in mills and factories, while
the heating, lighting and ventilating
of public buildings adds comfort to
those employed.
There has been a great change in
thrift in the past few years. More
is expected of the people than ever
before and this is especially true
along industrial lines"
In closing, Mr.. listed drew from
Ills O"H tAptlleNCe anu OUScIVdtlOIlS
Some of his valuable suggestions
we're:
"Live within your income. Be able
to say no, when you mean no. Never
make excuses, for excuses are moth
ing less than falsehoods. Whining is
tiresome to employers, SC don't whine.
If the other fellow is getting more
salary than you, ask yourself the rea-
son why. Mind your own business
and it won't be long before you will
have business of your own to mind.
Do not do anything to hurt your
self-respect. Perspjration brings the
inspiration that your aspiration hopes
for. Work adds to your greatest
asset-experience. Experience is the
thing to strive for"

THREE MORE NAMES
ADDED TO COUNTY
LIST OF HEROES
Include Young Soldier Sick.
Enroute to Camp; Another,
Victim of "Suo''

Charles S. Carter, Beltrami county
director of the Minnesota public
safety commission, who has been al
loted the service of compiling the list
Of dead who "carried on" while in
the service Of Uncle Sam, can add
three more names to his list as fol-
lows:
From Tenstrike, a father writes
to The Pioneer that his son, a re-
turned service man, was drowned
there October 3, 1919. The father
is A. B. Davis and the son was
Frederick R. Davis.
James Harold Mcclellan of Island
Lake is another to be added to the
roll of honor. He went with the con-
tingent in September, 1918, and left
with his comrades en- route to camp.
AS the train neared Brainerd he was
taken i'll with an attack Of the ''flu"
and removed to a hospital and died
four days later. The embryo soldier
was inferred at his home and the
ceremonies were largely attended.
Edwin Berkey, whose family for
merly resided in Mill Park, Bemidji,
was another who answered the call.
He was a soldier with the first Amer
leans aboard the transport Tuscania,
which was nearing the coast of Scot
land when she was torpedoed by a
Hun submarine, and with many of
his comrads met his fate in the sea.
His body was recovered and buried
in Scotland with his other soldier
brothers. And Bemidji turned out
in q memorial m>otinR.

SHERIFF M1NT0SH OF
K00CHICHINC COUNTY .
MISSING TWO WEEKS
Governor Had Been Asked
to Remove Official for
Malfeasance

International Falls, Feb. 7.-Sheriff
Hugh T. Mcintosh of Koochiching
county has been missing for two
weeks and his whereabouts is COM
plete mystery to his family and
friends. Various theories are current
but no one seems to be certain just
what has become Of the officer. His
wife is Frustrated and his friends are
naturally alarmed. He formerly lived
at Loman, this county, and was serv-
ing his first term. He is SIS.
Gone Two Weeks.
l Sheriff Mcintosh left here two
weeks ago last night about midnight
for Ray, this county, presumably on
| official business. That was the last
time his wife or local friends saw
| him. He left on the Duluth-bound
train, but whether he got off at Ray
has not developed. AS the days pass
ed no word came of him, his Wife's
anxiety naturally increased. 1t was
first thought he might have gone on
to St. Paul to appear before the gov
ernor and resist charges filed against
him in connection with handling the
local railroad strike. 1his theory
was dissipated when County Attorney
Jevne returned this week from the
capital city and reported that he had
seen or heard nothing OF Mcintosh.
The next theory advanced was that
he stopped in Duluth to visit his
brother, Alex Mcintosh Of West Du-
luth, who is sick in hospital. as the
sheriff often stopped off day to
visit his brother. The latter was
heard from today He said he had
not seen his brother in two weeks.
Possibly Murder or Suicide.
Another theory is that the sheriff
was murdered by some Of the Chicago
strikebreakers sent here because he
arrested some Of the troublesome ones
and took their guns from them. Then
it is felt possible he might have lost
his mind through worry over the
charges made against him and killed
himself There is also a possibility
that, worried over the trouble. he has
left the state, but it is understood
this theory is not maintained by
many, as they say he was no gutter.

Defeats Visitors by Score 26 to
16 by Wonderful Show
ing of Speed
HOPES BRIGHTER FOR
WINNING DISTRICT
H;obe and Stechman Of Form
by Illness But Battle
Gamely

Chances for the Bemidji high
school basket ball quint to win out in
the race for the championship of the
Third athletic district are much
brighter, since defeating the fast
Brainerd outfit last evening at the
Armory by score of 26 to Is.
The game started with burst of
speed by the visitors and three points
were scored before the locals realized
the situation and they frightened up.
Sheho, captain Of the Brainerd bunch,
secured the first count on field
basket, followed shortly by free
throw by Welch, and then after Be-
midi secured it's first ringer by
.Stapleton, the visitors scored again.
Bemidji's scoring was we'll divided in
the first half, Brooks caging one,
Stapleton one, Stechman two and
Higbe one, while the down-staters'
scoring was two baskets by Sheflo and
three free throws by Welch, setting
the score at the end of the first period
at 10 to 7, favoring Bemidji.
Speed Continues
The second half was featured by
the same spasmodic bursts Of speed
which occurred in the first period
and resulted in a score Of 16 to in
favor of the locals, giving Bemidji
the game by total score for both
periods of 26 to 16. In this period
of play, Elmer, center for the visitors,
was elected from the game on four
personals and was substituted by
Shefo, whose position at right for
ward was taken by Rosenberg.
Hopes Brighten.
This contest being a victory for
Bemidji leaves it's record still clear,
so far as the district games are con-
cerned, and gives bright hopes to the
locals of winning out in the race for
the championship of this district,
which means an opportunity to jour
ney to Mortified after the close of
the season to battle for the state
championship for the high school
basketeers.

fro. 81, Fourth Glass and be-
com> CITY of the Third Class,
so M ur public improve
ments z xtended and devel-
oped. dji will not stand
still;> n. >al progress and
improvem ust and will keep
pace with tvs growth and
developmeA \
1t has bt Ill the established
policy of the city to do a limit
ed amount of paving each year;
the adoption of such a policy
was a financial necessity; the
taxpayers could not afford to
pay the cost of all the city's
paving now in place in any one
year; for that reason we have
been obliged to do without a
large amount of paving that we
really needed, and content our
selves with paving the business
districts and traffic thorough
fares. The war interrupted the
city's program to a great ex-
tent; no paving has been con-
structed for the past three
years.
But now is our opportunity.
Instead of municipal improve
ments keeping pace with the
city's progress, we now find our
selves I'M a position to let the
improvements set the pace, in
duce and further the develop
ment of a better and bigger
Bemidji, with slight expendi-
ture on our part. The total
cost of the proposed paving
project amounts to $185, 900.
Under Amendment No. 1 (Bab-
cock Plan), the city has a good
chance to obtain a refund from
the state amounting to $85, 200.
That is, if we vote $185,000
worth of bonds on February II,
the city is in a position to OBJ
tain approximately one-half of
that amount back from the state
as refund. We will receive
twice as much as we spend. But
the bonds must be voted this
year in order to place us in a
position to obtain the refund.
And, as the bonds will not be-
come due until fifteen or twenty
years from the date of issue,
we will derive the benefits by
having the pavement this year,
and will only be required to
pay for it in small installments
extending over a period of
twenty years. In other words,
we can pave this year and have
twenty years to pay for our
share of the cost.
Opportunity knocks but once.
Bemidji will answer on election
day by a good strong majority
of votes marked ''YES" for the
bond issue.
