SPECIAL TRAFFIC MEN
MEET WITH COOPERATION

For the most part, the sepcial
deputies of the sheriff's office as
signed, to traffic wark, are meeting
with the cooperation Of the public
and are experiencing little opposi-
ton to their requests for observation
of traffic rules on the country roads.
SO far the work of the deputies has
been confined to pointing out to
traffic rule viulators the necessity
of obeying the rules and calling at
tention to the violations. No bull
DOING methods are employed nor are
the Officers finding reason for en-
plOying severe measures so far.
The matter of slowing down when
meeting other automobiles and giving
half the road, the displaying Of 1921
license tags. and the using of proper
lens on the lights. are matters on
which the officers are confirming
their attention largely.
Some people have been found who
have no license tags nor have they
made application for any, intending
to keep their car in storage during
the summer. These people are suppos-
ed to report such ownership of cars to
the assessor so that they may be
properly assessed in personal proper
ty where they do not pay state tax
This is Il matter that close attention
is being given to by the secretary of
states office.

MAN MAKES GOOD MONEY
COLLECTING TAX INTEREST

Williston, n. d., August 24---States
Attorney McGuiness of Williams
county charges that man named
William .McClifford has resurrected
an existing, but alleged ignored law,
whereby he is making a substantial
living.
1t is charged that McClifford is
signing contracts with township
hoards7tO collect tax interest and pen
alties for their subdivisions on rs
per cent commission.
- The law Of 1911 requires that such
penalties shall be apportioned and
paid back to townships.
McGuiness declared that probably
not a county in the state has ever OBJ
served the law, and said that the
money in Williams county has been
used to take care OF school and cOun-
ty warrants, thereby lowering the
tax levy. He maintains that it
would be costly to make distribu
ton of this money among the town.

VICKERS BUILDING ON
THIRD STREET BURNED

Fire Quilted the unoccupied frame
building located west of the Tropp-
man block on Third street, about
midnight last night. The building
is owned by William Vickers and was
used for storing the camp equipment
of the Mississippi Timber Company.
From the appearance of the build
ing the fire must have started in diff
ferent parts of the building as a
number of places are badly charred
while the ceiling and walls between
are merely blackened.
There was no. insurance on the
building. according to the owners,
the equipment of the Mississippi
Timber Company, however, was in
sured. The fire marshall on his last
visit to Bemidji recommended the
condemning of the building as fire
hazard Considerable kerosene was
found in the building by the firemen
who answered the alarm call.

close the season, unless other games
can be arranged and the weather per-
mits.

demonstrated that good base ball

outside talent. as has been done in
the past, adding to the cost of each
game and netting the local club

St. Paul, Aug. 24.-Prediction Of
an eight hundred million bushel grain
crop in the northwest this year by the
Ninth District Federal Reserve bank
was unwarrantcd and colored, the
State Department of Agriculture, the
Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation
and other farm experts declared to-
day.
The crop report was "colored by
desire for settlement Of outstanding
Debts" the statement declared. "Gen-
eral liquidation from agricultural dis
tricts this fall is utterly impossible"
it is said. "Rcports on threshing
made August 1 by the United States
Department of Agriculture was too
high rather than too low"
The time has come for the north
west to face the situation squarely,
and to realize that further extension
of credit, not general liquidation is
the only possible course. If attempts
are made to force general liquidation
the agricultural interests Of ). the
northwest will be seriously cramped.
II believe that the public is ems
titled to facts as they have been gath
cred by the State Department Of Ag-
riculture and the county farm bu-
reaus," said N. J. Holmberg, state
Commissioner Of Agriculture.

One of the finests specimens OF a
large Bull Moose ever exhibited, is
that now being exhibited by Messrs.
w. H. and V. C. Garrison, in an eN-
hibition booth near the Jewett ga
rage on Beltrami avenue. This mon
strous animal was secured in the
northern part of Beltrami county and
is a perfect specimen of the King OF
America S animal family. The horns
Of the animal are perfect in their
symmetry. The Garrisons plan on
exhibiting the animal all over the
country and incidentally advertising
if as an animal secured near Bemidji
which will give much publicity to
the sporting and game world of the
hunters opportunity in Beltrami
county for big game.
While many in Bemidji have I'M
doubtly seen Moose before, it is very
rare than an opportunity is pre-
scented to see such splendid specimen
of the lordly animal. After exhibit
today and tonight the animal will be
taken to other localities.

VIII Mean Pushing
Bills Through
BEER BILL GIVES
AWAY TO McNARY BILL
Shipping, Disarmament and
War Finance Corporation
Bills Must Be Passed

Washin gton, August 24---Congress
today launched final legislative
drive for recess, scheduled for to-
night. There was enough legislation
pending to keep the house in session
for two weeks longer. The beer bill,
which day or two ago threatened
to prevent the recess all together,
was practically abandoned until af-
ter congress returns a month hence.
Its place, as house block to vaca-
ton, was taken today by the McNary
bill to broaden the powers Of the
War Finance Corporation to aid
farmers. Republican leaders OF the
House have served notice that it
must be passed before vacation.
Strong efforts will be made to reach
the agreement during the day. Final
action was expected on the deficiency
bill, providing 100000
for the disarmament conference and
$49,5OO,000 for the Shipping Board.

BEMLDJI GOLFERS TO
INVADE DETROIT CAMP
A Large Delegation Wanted to
Take Part i'm Game
There Saturday

"On to Detroitw That's the slo-
gan of the Bemidji golfers for next
Saturday. Detroit expects the Be
midi Country club to send a big dele
cation down there and they expect to
take the local boys into camp in about
the same manner as they were taken,
when here last week.
Every fellow who yields a driver
or mashie, from the Bemidji club, is
expected to go to Detroit. Arrange
ments are being made by the commit
tee to take as many players by cars
as is possible. B. W. Lakin and B.
F. Anderson are in charge of the ar
engagements and those who intend to
go will confer favor upon the COM
mittee by notifying one of the above
men so that cars may be provided.
Already a large number have ex-
pressed their intention of going, but
every member, whether he has played
one year or twenty, should make an
effort to go.
That Bemidji cannot bring back
the "bacon" unless a good represent
tation goes, is the contention of those
in charS'. 80.
On S. ptember 10 and II, Bemidji
will journey to Grand Forks, where
arrangements are being made for a
big festival. Grand Forks has al
ways gone the "limit" when it comes
to entertainment and reports are that
they expect to Guido all previous
records.
They also expect to take Bemidji
golfers into camp on their own links.
Bemidji defeated Grand Forks sew
eral weeks ago on the local links and
will have to send the best players they
can possibly secure as we'll as a large
number in order to win.

Railroads Now Owe United

Says w. C. McAdoo
SECURITIES INADEQUATE
TO PROTECT GOVERNMENT
McAdoo Writes Long Letter
on Situation; Will Not
Appear as Witness
(By United Press)

Washington, Aug. 24.-The rail-
roads owe the government $780,
100000, yet it is proposed to extend
to them an additional credit of $780,
100000, according to William G. Nc
Adoo.
This statement was made in a let
ter from the former secretary OF the
treasury and director general OF rail-
roads to Senator A. o. Stanley, DEM
ocrat, of Kentucky, member OF the
committee investigating the railroad
situation, who read it on the floor OF
the senate today.
McAdoo declared that the "break-
down of the railroads in the latter
part of 1917 forced the government
to take control of them January l,
1918, in order to save the war;"
He charged, briefly, that:
The $500, 100000 to be loaned the
railroads constitutes "added invest
ment of the taxpayers money" an
eadded liability" and an "added tax
burden"
The government will have to &C
ceSt as collateral for this SECURITIES
which in many instances may not be
adequate to protect the government"
President Harding must have been
misled into making the statement that
the United States is "morally and
legally bound to fund" the railroads
debt to the treasury.
Democratic members of the COM
mittee had sought to have McAdoo
summoned as a witness, but were
blocked by the majority: Stanley
n ther. asked him to outline his views OF
the situation in a letter, which ne dld'
