It may not be that the failure to advertise is the cause, but this is a significant proportion.—Duluth Herald. BEFORE.THE BATTLE. The annunal village election place tomorrow. Two tickets are in the field and all the candidates are representative business men well known to everybody in the city. No mat- ter who is elected the village is sure of securing an able set of officers for the ens#ing year and the contest is one of a personal nature between the various op- posing parties. The members of the present councilare all can- didates for re-election. They enjoy the confidence of the peo- ple of the city generally and have made a record for efficiency that is set forth in the annual finan- cial statement published in this issue of the Pioneer. What may be expected from the opposing . ticket in case of eclection is set forth in their platform dis- tributed about the town today and appearing elsewhere in this issue. These . gentlemen are ‘_ also thoroughly competent and the village is to be congratulated upon the fact that it is certain in any event of a business men’s . administration during the com- . ing year.

Dated March 7, 1904, J. A. LUDINGTON, . President of Village Council, ~ Bemidji, Minn. ‘What They Say A. T. Wheelock: There will be something doing on the opera house proposition soon. E. A. Schneider: Idon’t kuow anything new and at that I think I am the wisest man in town. Dr.Morzison: The board of health is going to get very busy on Bemidji back yards before long. % M. G. Slocum: .. Lots of people think my candidacy for justice of peace is a joke. Wait till the votes are counted. E. H.

A.E Carson: Haven’t hoard UP COUNTRY NOI[EJ WILL RESUME WORK IN MAY Receivership of Red Lake Transportation €o. Plans Busy Summer’s Work. REPORTED SALE OF RAILROAD WITHOUT FOUNDATION. Plans Perfected to Handle Forty Million to Red River Mills. The receivership of the Red Lake Transportation Co, will be- gin active operations in the Red Lake country about the first of May, according to information had last night from Mr. W.G. Marsdon, trustee for the com- pany. Mr. Marsdon stated that the receivership - expected to start work just as soon as the weather would permit in getting out its logs which are banked on the Mud, Sandy and Blackduck rivers. About ten million feet on the Mud river will be driven through to Red Lake and most of the other logs will be hoisted and Hauled to Red Lake Landing. Altogether the timber to be handled will aggregate about forty million feet. The railroad will begin oper- ations about the first of May and all the interests of the company will be conducted as formerly with the exception of the store. Next summer’s work will give employment to a large number of men and will mean a very great deal for that section of the coun- try. Mr. Marsden anticipates a favorable spring and there is every indication at present that there will be ample water in all the streams to move the drive easily. Regarding the reparted sale of the Red Lake Transportation Co.’s railroad to the NQ;‘L].\QX‘H Pacific Mr. Marsden said there was absolutely no truth in the story which has been in circula- tion in this city for several days. The purchase of the road is a possibility of the future for busi- ness reasons that are sufficiently obvious but so far negotiations have uot been had looking in that direction, - Mr, Marsden expects to have his headquarters in Be- midji and came up from Minne- apolis Saturday night, Chas. Hamlin, of Nebish, will be super- tendent under the receivership. WANTS DAMAGES Man Who Started Fight on M. & I. Passenger Presents the Open Palm. The Minnesota & International railway 1s threatened with a damage suit at present in which a well known lumberman, in the employ of a well known firm of contractors will be the plaintiff. The gentleman was a passen- ger from this city several weeks ago on the north bound passen- ger train. He is said by those who were in the smoking car to have been intoxicated and be- came unruly between this city and Tenstrike. The train crew civilly requested him several times to behave himself but he was out for a time and made things decidedly disagreeable for everybody in the coach. Af- ter repeated efforts to quiet him he was taken by the collar and slammed rather unceremoni- ously into a seat, after which he started a rough and tumble fight in which he is said to have come off second best. Now he will begina damage suitand the M. &.I. is investigat- ing the conduct of the train crew in the matter. The general sen- timent ot those present at the affair seems to be that the train crew was long suffering and that if anybody received a-beating it was more or less deserved, MONEY IN WATER Fountain of Perpetual Youth Discovered Near North Line Town. If a story which a well known gentlemen, who has extensive interests in several of the towns along ‘the north line, last night told the Pionser can be made to stand up before a somewhat scrupulous public the fountain of perpetual youth has been dis- covered and its location is not far from one of the towns in this vicinity. Publicity 1s avoided at present for the reason that several mat- ters ufi'ect.iug the development of the property are in embryo. The gentleman claims to have five springs on a piece of prop- erty which he owns that are the finest thing of the sort in this section. He has been .at some pains to secure an analysis and it compares very favorably and is much better in fact than that of some of the most famous brands of spring water on the market. . In the near future a botthng plant will be put in at the springs and the water will be put on the market. Its merits are to be liberally advertiSed and there is every indication that it will prove a very profitable investment. Dad Palmer’'s Resort. “Dad” Palmer, the veteran newspaper man, who is at.pres- ent employed on the Beltrami County News anticipates the opening af the fishing season this year with more than ordinary interest. Mr. Palmer has spent most of the present winter in the north line towns and says that during his absensehe bas located one of the finest resorts in this section.. It is in easy driving distance of Turtle River, Mr. Palmer proposes to take out tents and have a regular resort, will be prepared to furnish boats and says he is prepared to guarantee the best fishing:in the entire northwest. Mr. Palmer is well familiar with the country, is the boss fisherman of this .section and would be an ideal host. His resort will no doubt be liberally patronized. Big Summer For Walker. P. H. McGarry who was at the Markham yesterday says he ex- pects a big summer for the sum- mer resort at Walker. Mr. Mc- Garry says-the -indications— at present are that the accommoda- tions of the town will be taxed and is much pleased with the in. terest that is evinced in Walker’s summer resort inducement by the pleasure seeking public at large. Mr. McGarry believes that with a favorable summer all the towns in this section will have a full quota of tourists during all of the season. Improvements are contemplated at Walker that will greatly enhance its present resources. ; Busy at Beuna Vista. There is every indication that tomorrow will be one of the busi- est days they have had at Beuna Vista for some time. It is the occasion of the town election and a very hot fight is on between V. Faltsek and J. C. Campbell for the chairmanship of the town board. All other matters are lost sight of in the contest and the friends of the two candidates have been moving at a business gait for some time past. Trudel Camp Closed. The Beltrami Timber Co’s. camp at tne Sandy River Cross- ing will be closed down today af- tera very successful winter’s work. Peter Trudel of Thief River Falls has been in charge and 5,000,000 feet are landed on the Sandy for the winter’s work.
