sentative^ Steenerson, Tarns Bix
by and L. H. Bailey, of Bemidji,
he wrote a personal letter to

ing that an impartial hearing be

half of their town.

HARVES LATE
The Harvest Season will Open
Considerably Later This
Year Than Usual.
Advices being received by the
Twin Cities and head of the lakes
employment agencies from the
western wheat country indicate
that the harvest season will open
about two weeks later this season
than last. Last year harvest be
gan about August 1, but this year
it is not expected to open until
about the middle of August in
the main wheat belt.
Harvesting in Kansas aud Ne
braska is already in progress
and it is said that very high
wages are being paid. The har
vest wages offer strong induce
ments to the men who are em
ployed on railroad and other
classes of work and the employ
ers find it a difficult matter to
hold them to the work when the
wheat cutting begins. In previ
ous years many of the large, im
portant contract works in the
Northwest have been seriously
delayed because of the men jump
ing their jobs and going out west
where they could earn more
money.
Many men are daily passing
through Bemidji toward the har
vest fields.
Harry Gann Here.
Harry Gann, editor and pro
prietor of "Both Sides," pub
lished in Minneapolis, was in
town today. He owns a large
hotel at Backus, and for a num
ber of years was organizer for
the Retail Liquor Dealers asso
ciation of the state. Mr. Gann,
who was on his way to Duluth,
was well pleased with the ap
pearance of Bemiqji and says
that it is the best town of its size
in the state.
Mass Meeting.
There will be a meeting at the
city hall tonight at which there
will be important business. It
is desired that every citizen of
Bemidji be present. The meet
ing will be called to order at 8:30
o'clock.

Des Moines, Iowa, July .16. Sixty

action it is intimated the operators

mineworkers at an end. The agree
ment provides that grievances of min
ers shall be submitted to an arbitra
tion board, and that pending a decis
ion by the board the miners shall re
main at work. The operators claim
that in violation of this contract there
have been numerous small strikes
