Civic and Commerce Body Goes
on Record in Favor of
Proposed Building
STATE LAND CLEARING
MAY BE INVESTIGATED
Work Being Done to Combat
tuberculosis Explained
By Able Speakers

Discussion Of the proposed ten
year plan Of highway construction
within the county consumed a large
portion of the time at the weekly
luncheon Of the Civic and Commerce
association Wednesday,. The associa-
ton was asked to go on record in
regard to the system which has been
evolved, and which County Auditor
johnson explained in detail at Il
former meeting Of the association.
On behalf of the city, Alderman
J. p. Lahr stated in his opinion fair
proportion of the road fund should
oc expended on the city streets mas
much as the city contributed d large
amount of the revenue obtained for
road building. Heretofore the city
has received very little Of the road
funds Of the county except in the
construction of the new bridge over
the. Mississippi river.
The association finally went on
record as favoring the plan although
some of the members declined to go
on record and did not vote.
A matter was presented to the as
sociation Tuesday which was referred
by that body to the Beltrami County
Land Clearing association, and was a
request for an investigation from the
Tenstrike Community Commercial
club into the manner in which five
acre tracts were being cleared by the
state on state lands. It was reported
by the Tcnstrike club that much OF
the clearing Of these tracts was be-
ing done on the edge of swamps and
in places where the clearing would
be Of little value to the settler.
e. Il. Mcdonald gave a splendid
outline of the work being accomplish
ed by the South Beltrami County
Public Health association, and intro
duccd DR.. r. l.. Laney of the Lake
Julia tuberculosis Sanatorium who
gave very interesting talk on tuber-
cular conditions Of the body as shown
by radiograms which had been taken
of healthy bodies and also of bodies
affected with tuberculosis.

FIVE'-DAY'FAIR

HERENEXT YEAR
re-. ~~r H.
Directors of Agricultural Asso-
citation Decide on Fair
for August,
CLARK AGAIN TO HEAD
LIVESTOCK DEPARTMENT
Greater Things Are Planned
for Next Years Fair
Than Ever Before

A meeting Of the board OF directors
of the Bcltrami County Agricultural
association was held in the Give and
Commerce association rooms Wcdnes~
day afternoon. Nine directors were
present.
One of the most important actions
taken at the meeting Wednesday was
the setting of the dates on which the
fair will be held in 1922, as the third
week in August. The fair will occupy
five days. Tuesday will be entry day,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday eX-
hibition days and Saturday wilt be
given over to auto races and sale Oh
products exhibited.
On account Of the large amount
of correspondence and other work
incidental to the securing OF live
stock exhibit, it was deemed wise TO
have the chairman of the livestock
department appointed at once, and
II. NJ. Clark was again appointed
chairman of this department.
A communication was read which
had been sent by j. c. McGhec, dwell
ing on the need of larger quarters
for the exhibit Of school work and
also the advisability Of naming the
premiums TO be given at an early
date so that the pupils may know
for what articles premiums will be
given and will therefore confinc more
Of their efforts to those articles. Much
enthusiasm was shown in the prepara-
ti0ns for the fair for 1922 and with
out doubt greater things will be at
tempted for 1922 than was possible
for the fair this year.

OF the merchants this morning may
DC taken as a criterion. Almost with

Mr.. Baker Of Geo. T. Baker e. Co.,
reported satisfactory business on
Dollar Day. He advertised o,sly one
item and fayors the continuance Of
a sale day for all merchants every
month.
From the standpoint of the custo-
mcrs the day was Il bigger success
even than from The merchants side.
Many early customers were to be
seen going home with arms and bas-
kcts full and some came back in the
afternoon because they couldn't cover
all the bargains in the morning.
Sales of this kind are sure to be
popular in the future and when such
sales are found to be profitable to
both the merchant and the customer
It is forcgone conclusion that the
trade committee of the merchants
will continue similar events in the
future.

That the man in custody, prac- tically admits that he is Ray High tower, who escaped from the Juneau jail May IS, is the inference gath cred by Deputy Marshal N. o. Hardy from a telegram received by him to day from Deputy J. w. Combs of Haines.

MINING OPERATIONS IN
 FAIRBANKS STARTED UF

Mining operations in the Fair. banks district are fairly under way for the season and the output this year will probably not be less than that of last according to Capt. c. $. | Ward, disbursing officer of the Al. aska Road Commission, who arrived here this morning on the steamer Northwestern after trip into In. terior Alaska. The district, he said, was quiet, but there were no signs of Encouragement and everyone was confidently expecting improved con ditions in the near future.
 The two big dredges of the Fair banks Gold Mining Company on Fair. banks Creek began operations on June Is, said Captain Ward, and ex- pect a good season. Three big hy. draulic outfits also opened up near Fairbanks early this month. Placer mining, he said, is in. full swing.
 The Richardson .. highway, said Captain Ward is in good shape, the first automobile from Chitina to Fairbanks made the trip this spring in 4S hours. Regular schedules are being maintained by automobile stage companies at this time, he stated.
 Captain Ward went into Fairbanks by the way of Chitina and returned to Valdez. From Valdez he went to Seward, returning to Juneau on the Northwestern.
