ASSESSMENTS
Board of Equalization Met Yes
terday and Made Several
Changes.
The county board of equaliza
tion met at the court house yes
terday and is again in session to
day. Members are busy going
over the assessment rolls, and
several changes are being made.
Yesterday afternoon assess
ments on several of the business
houses about town were raised.
It was found that they had not
been assessed at their real
values. One or two were low
ered. The board proposes to
treat all alike and equalize the
assessment, making every man
pay for what he has and no less
nor no more. There will be more
interesting developments today.
The saloon men of the city have
been summoned to appear before
the board. No reason was given,
but it is reported that the assess
ments on most of the saloons will
be raised.
No Change.
Duluth will not be made a mem
ber of the American Association
of baseball clubs this year.
Negotiations for the transfer
of the Milwaukee franchise and
team to that city are cut off, and
it has been decided to keep the
Milwaukee team where it is.
A counter proposition has been
made, however, and that is the
giving of a Western laegue fran
chise to Duluth and transferring
the Milwaukee team of the league
to Duluth.

EYES
DR. C. J. LAR-
SOX, the Eye
Specialist, will be at the City
hotel during the encampment.
Do not neglect to have your eyes
attended to.
The Park Region Encampment
of the G. A. R. opened today
with an attendance as large, as
could be expected on the first
day. It was not thought likely
that many veterans would arrive
until today, but the local post
was happily surprised yesterday
when several visiting posts got
off the incoming trains and
sought out their quarters. There
was quite a bunch of the old
soldiers with their wives and
families in town at nightfall.
Some of them remained at the
hotels over night and others im
mediately took up their quarters
in the tents assigned them in the
city park. By tonight nearly*
every one of the dozens of tents
now standing in silent rows on
the camping grounds will be oc
cupied and the merry talk and
laughter of the old comrades,
once again united, will be heard
far into the night.
Every incoming train today
brought its quota of old soldku-s
with their families and friends.
More will arrive tonight and to
morrow, until the total number
of visitors in Bemidji will reach
four or five thousand. Prepara
tions for their reception are com
plete and the town is in gala at
tire. One bunting-covered arch
spans Beltrami avenue at the
corner of Third and another
stretches across Minnesota ave
nue in front of the city hall. The
stores will have pretty "G..A.R."
windows and most of the busi
ness houses in town are deco
rated with flags and bunting.
The various dancing pavilions
and speakers' stands about the
city are completed and they are
also trimmed with gay strips of
bunting.
The city park, which will be
headquarters during the encamp
ment, presents a pretty appear
ance today. Old soldiers sit
grouped about beneath the trees
telling over the old stories or giv
ing an account of themselves
since they met at the encamp
ment last year. Among the
snowy tents other men, with
their wives and daughters, are
bustling happily about making
arrangements for the night,
while the local veterans hover
anxiously over the whole, speak
ing a cheerful word of welcome
here and lending a helping hand
there. Indians in twos, threes
and bunches stroll through the
park, gazing in wondering sur
prise at the scene. There is a
large contingent of Indians
town. They will take part in
the big parade Thursday and are
also slated to entertain the whites
with canoe races, dances and
other Indian sports
