Train at Minneapolis, but
Fails to Arrive Here
REPRESENTED COUNTY
IN BAKING CONTEST
Relatives Here Believe She
Must Have Left Train
Below Little Falls

Miss Jordice Wallace, Is, netce OF
Mrs. Christa Croft and Mr.. and
Mrs. John Wallace Of this city, is now
looked for by railroad officials and
authorities along the Northern Paci-
llc line between the Twin Cities and
Little Falls, since she failed to return
10 Bemidji last Monday evening on
the six o'clock train.
After representing this county at
the bread baking contest at the state
fair, to which she received Tree
trip since she won the county contest,
she visited over Sunday at the home
of her cousin at Minneapolis. accord
ing to word received from him. Mon
day morning her cousin escorted her
onto the Northern Pacific train which
leaves Minneapolis at 800. However,
she failed to arrive here on that train
and it has been ascertained that she
must have left the train before reach
ing Little Falls. So far no trace of
her has been found and relatives here
arc anXiously continuing thorough
search.

missed her train at some point and
would arrive in Bcmidji in due time.

cousin at Minneapolis, search was
begun.
Mrs. Christa Croft, the girls
aunt, with whom she has made her
home since Il small child, teaches
school at Guthrie and when she
boarded the train for Bemidji Mon
day evening" she looked in vain for
her neice. Since she did not consider
the situation as very alarming at
that time, she made no inquiries
from the passengers. None OF those
on the train were acquaintance OF
Mrs Croft. and now she desires
that any passenger who may have
remembered the girl notify her at
once, believing that such word may
lead to the discovery Of the girls
whereabouts.
The missing girl has light brown
hair, which is rather curly, fair
complexion, blue eyes, weighs about
90 pounds, and is tall and slender.
She wore brown suit and a black
straw hat at the time she wasl put

SHIPPERS And
BUSINESS MEN

of Potatoes Discussed By
Crew of Experts

REGARDING INSPECTION
Practical Demonstrations Are
Made and Questions Are
Answered Freely

Hugh ]. Hughes, state director or
markets, invaded Bemidji Friday with
his crew of experts and told the Be-
midi businessmen and farmers how to
ship, grade and load potatoes to the
best advantage as well as now 10
eliminate the crooks from the COM
mission business. r
Mr.. Hughes explained the law which
was enacted to protect the shipper
and pointed out .that>before accept
ing produce the receiver should ask
for an inspection by the department
OF Agriculture, The cost for such in
spection would be 81 per car, while
package inspection would be done
for a minimum cost of SO cents each.
"The intent of the law is to make
measuring stick for honest men
to settle their difficulties and club
to drive the crooks out Of the commits
sion business" said Mr.. Hughes.
Mr.. Holt analysed the types OF
marketing organizations and pointed
out the need OF installing the proper
systems for cooperative stores to
keep their records. He stated that
the department would send men out
10 Tile various VI SodulAdtiolS LIT IhS
purpose Of giving them help in get
ting properly started.
Mr. Manthey, DIVISION superintend-
ent of the Great Northern railway
company, was asked to suggest some
ideas which would prove of value to
the shipper He stated that the great
est loss comes from freezing and
urged that shipping be done early.
A potato grading demonstration
was given by Mr.. Baehler of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, which appealed to the far
mers and shippers present. Mr.. Bach
Ter had them gathered close around
his demonstration taB:e and talked
while he sorted the "sheep from the
goats"
Questions of every kind and from
every corner were fired at him, want
ing to know why this and why that,
but he never Waivered in his an
sWers
1t was a most, interesting feature
and all were we'll pleased with the
practical demonstration.

how cars should be loaded and pre-
pared for the shipment Of produce.

This Is Apparent as Figures
Are Revealed on Assessed
Valuation Accepted
INTERESTING CUTS IN
VALUATION REVEALED
Indications Are That Personal
Property Tax Levy Will Be
Close to 500, 600

Bemidii's personal property tax
rate for next year is due for good
sized boost, according to the assessed
valuation of the personal property
as returned by the city assessor and
decided upon by the county board
of equalization.
The personal property assessment
for the city in 1910, as made by the
assessor, was $9S9,543 adj was re-
duced by the board Of equalization to
s857.969: Nymore addition was as
sessed at $1S,37S and was left at the
same figure by the board OF equall-,
cation. In 1921 the assessed valua-
ton, as made by the assessor, was
59A,33O and as finally returned by the
i ,rd of equalization was $5Sl,S23.
IN 1920 there were 613 individual
PERSONAL property assessments in the
city, while in 1921 the assessor found
443. The village Of Baudette With
population of $50 had $50 personal
property assessments in 1921 and 325
in 1920.
Household furniture dropped from
s33,799 to $19,S34 between the two
years, Automobiles account for drop
Of $55,954, as they were not assessed
in the city's personal property this
year but paid the tax, to the state.
In 1920 there were 337 sewing ma
chimes and washing machines but in
1921 they had diminished to $50.
Likewise watches and clocks to the
number of 16S disappeared during the
wear. the valuation Of same dropping
from $1,4O2 to $754. Jewelry decreas-
ed in value about $500 about $500 in
ed in value about $500 in the assess
ment while 40 pianos which were do
ing service in 1920 were hushed in
1921.
There were only three dogs running
around in the city that>5Were worth
being assessed in 1921 although in
1920 some fifty got in the way of
the assessor and got booked for tax.
Lumber, lath and shingles dropped
from $272,2O2 to $153,5S9, and logs
posts and poles were assessed at
$121,6OS as against $195, 140 in 1920.
Very little difference is noted in the
stocks of wholesale merchants, the
1921 assessment being $24,9S5 and
the 1920 assessment being $25,l0O.
The stocks! of retail merchants
amounted to $127,073 at assessed
figures which was about $4,000 less
than in 1920. Typewriters decreased
in value about $500 and office fur
niture was $4,000 less than last
year.
The total of $5S1,S23 as against
$S57,969 is a decrease of $276, LAG
Or about as per cent on this years
assessed valuation.
1t is understood that the city levy
will be much higher this year than
on previous years as there has been
an overdraft in the general fund ac-
cumulating each year until now it
has reached $4,000. This means
that this much will be dumped onto
1922 taxes when it belonged to the
past three or four years.
The annual tax levy for the city
has been running around $GO,OOO,
and this, together with the deficit,
will make the tax levy for 1922 very
close to 100000. 1t is expected that
the proposed levy for the city will
he presented at the meeting of the
city council next Monday night.
