The following resolution, with

At a meeting of the bench and
bar of Beltrami county, called
for the purpose of taking such
action as would show the high
esteem in which Willis F. Street,
who departed this life on the
30th day of July, 1903, was held
by the court and members of
said bar, which meeting was
held in Bemidji on the 31st day
of July, 1903, P. J. Russell, Esq.,
presiding, a committee was duly
appointed to draft and present
to this court at the next general
term thereof appropriate resolu
tions of respect.
In pursuance of such action
the committee respectfully sub
mit the following:
Whereas, on the 30th day of
.July, 1903, a tragedy, sad and
-appalling removed from our
midst a member of our pro
fession, a leading and honored
fellow citizen and,
Whereas, we are desirous of
-expressing our regard for our
brother whose sudden, violent
death came with such shock to
his hosts of friends in all parts
of this country and cast a gloom
over this community, whose in
terests he had during the best
years of life, so faithfully served
and promoted, that its traces
will remain for years: now,
therefore, be it
Resolved by the members of
the bench and bar of Beltrami
county, in Bemidji' assembled,
that we realize and feel that in
the death of Willis F. Street we
have experienced a loss deep and
irreparable. He was possessed
of the elements that go to make
up. the true lawyer, viz.: strict
integrity, fidelity to trust, ear
nestness of purpose, achieve
ment of success only when the
end was possible of attainment
by fair and honorable means. He
was aggressive and formidable
in debate and an enemy to op
pression and unsparing in his
denunciation of practices calcu
lated to defeat the ends of justice.
From intimate association with
the deceased we bear sincere and
earnest testimony to his sterling
worth as a man. He was a genial
member of society and a true
friend. He was philanthropic,
ever and at all times ready and
willing to extend a helping hand
to those in affliction or distress.
Sharing his confidence and re
gard, his friendship endows us
with pleasant memories, and he
shall ever live in our highest
esteem and regard.
Further resolved, that these
proceedings be engrossed and
made a part of the records of
this court, and that copies thereof
be presented to such of the rel
atives and friends of the deceased
as the court may direct.

FLUCTUATIN
New Potato Prices Keep the
Grocers and Consumers
Guessing.
The potato market is a puzzling
proposition just now. Dealers
hardly know whether to predict
a rise or fall in the price. A Du
luth commission merchant says
the price of the tubers may
reach $1 per bushel this winter.
Others say the price may go
much lower than it now is.
The vegetable is fairly plenti
ful on the local market, and
brings from 60 to 75 cents a
bushel. The latter is the Duluth
price, where at this time last
year potatoes were selling at 40
cents a bushel.
A farmer from southwest of
town brought two wagon loads
of potatoes into Bemidji yester
day, and tried to dispose of the
entire lot in a bunch, wanting
cash in exchange. He expected
a high price and was disappoint
ed at what the local grocers of
fored him, refusing to sell at
their price. The grocers are not
anxious to load up with many of
the vegetables at this time of the
year, and for this reason were
averse to taking the lot. They
have been purchasing only in
small lots, jusj enough to supply
the immediate demand. The
farmer in question did not suc
ceed in disposing of his potatoes
at the right price, so started
back home with them in a rage.
It is said that when he got a
short distance from town he
emptied both wagon loads along
side the corduroy, taking only
the sacks home with him.
Whether this report is true or
not we do not know, but it is a
fact that there are two large
piles of potatoes, about a wagon
load in each, side of the road a
short distance from town. Both
piles were put there yesterday,
and there is no field or farm
house near. Three people com
ing into town this morning re
port having seen the tubers.

NEW HOTEL
P. H. McGarry Will Build One Costing
20,000, on Bemidji Avenue,
Fronting the Lake.
The Structure Will Be Built of Logs and
Will Contain One Hundred
Rooms.
1 know says that there is no truth
to this report. The Blackduck
building will be left where it is.
The Duluth Evening Herald
has the following to say i^ the
project:
"One of the most unique hotels
in the United States is to be built
at Bemidji this fall.
"It is to be entirely of cedar
logs, and it will be five stories
high, making it in all probability
the largest log house in the
world.
"P. C. Smith, of this city, re
turned yesterday from Bemidji,
and gave some of the details of
the new building. It is to be
built on the shore of beautiful
lake Bemidji, and it will have 400
feet of veranda, mostly overlook
ing the lake.
"The entire structure is to be
of selected cedar logs, all varn
ished, and the iron there is in the
building will not amount to
much. There will be no plaster
ing or lathing on the inside, but
in each of the interstices between
logs all over the building on the
inside mirrors will be set. The
building alone is to cost $48,000.
