TALK OF BEMIDJI Northern League Promoters Are Anxious to Take in Several New Towns in Circuit. The "gentlemen interested in the Northern League are agita- ting a scheme to take in several new towns in that league next season and Bemidji has been mentioned as a likely town for this circuit. It is thought that with the addition of Brainerd, St. Cloud and Bemidji, dropping Crookston and Superior the league would be a much better one. ‘Then too, it is proposed to cut the salary limit down to about 5350 so that it would make it better for all managers in the matter of salaries, Various papers are authority for the statement that Brainerd isan applicant for a place in the league but so far as known locally there is no one ‘who has _such aspira- tions. * “Next” By Electricity. L. C. Crothers, the popular Third street tonsorial artist, will soon install a new fangled elec- trical machine which will elimi- nate the wasting of voice by call- ing “next” to waiting customers.

SKAL] WO0OD THIEVES Complaint Made That Fuel Is Be- ing Stolen From Wood Piles Down Town. Famine in the land of plenty seems to be the condition of some people who live in Bemidji, and it is not often that the owner of a pile of wood wakes up the next morning to find it consider- ably diminished as a result of the visitations of nocturnal maurauders. Complaint has of- ten been made that wood stealing has been carried on, but ap to te- day little notice has been taken of the diminishing wood piles. Today, however, L. O, Solberg, proprietor of a shoe shop on Beltrami avenue, publishes a notice in another column of the Pioneer, in which he gives due warning to certain residents of jone of the business blocks of the city to the effect that if his wood is again molested he will cer- tainly make it hot for them. De- vo]upment% are pending, SCARLET FEVER Turtle River Children Afflicted With Disease And Schools Close. Dr. F. A, Blakeslee left this af- ternoon for Turtle River in re- sponse to a message from Lhe.re to the effect that a number of families were afflicted with scar- let fever. The schools have been closed to check the spread of the disease, and every precaution will be taken to guard against conta- gion. Upon Mr. Blakeslee’s ar- rival at Turtle River he will dis- infect all the building where the disease has appeared and take all other preeautionary measures. Paul Well Again. Paul Foucault, who accident- ally shot himself in the arm about a month ago and has been under a doctor’s care at St. Anthony’s hospital ever since the accident is so far recovered as to be around on the streets again. The wound was much worse than had been first sup- posed, about four inches of the flesh, and the bone on the upper part of the arm being entirely torn away, and that amputation was not necessary is almost miraculous. No Court Sept. 20. Little business will be done by Judge Spooner on Sept. 20, as the day is a lega! holiday and it is probable that as soon as court sets it will be adjcurned until the following day. Judge Spooner authorizes the Pioneer to state that no blame will be laid upon grand jurors who do not attend the first day, as many will prob- ably wish to remain at home to vote at the primary clection. Men Scarce. T. J. Miller & Co. report that they haye been receiving orders almost daily for men for the woods, but at present the orders are hard to fill, as men are yery scarce. The wages are good and the demand at this time is for sawyers and swampers. The exodus from northern Minnesota to the Dakota harvest fields is large and this is probably the cause of scarcity. Notice. To Saloonkeepers in the Lum- bermen State Bank Block: If you are not able to furnish your own wood let the undersigned know. I would like to have my private wood uninterfered with. If this is not complied with you will suffer the consequences. Yours truly, L. O. Solberg. Cloquet Next Sunday. The local base ‘ball team will cross bats with the fast Cloquet team next Sunday, and it is ex- pected that the event will be well worth seeing. Cloquet has de- ‘tTeated the Big Duluth and Brain- erd teams and is one of the ?| strongest in northern Minnesota; in fact they claim this title. + Sixteen Pound Baby. John McDonald, more famil- iarly known by his many friends as “Johhny on the Spot”, feels justly proud over a sixteen pound baby boy which arrived at his house last night. Both mother REVISE CODE Judge Clark Back From State Meeting of the Judge of Probate. Judge Clark has returned from the annuul -convention of the judges of probate of the state held at St. Paul last week. The attendance was the largest in the history of the association and the meeting proved a very profitable and pleasant one. Speaking of the results of the meeting Judge Clark said that one of the most important matters taken up was the decision of the convention to move for a revision of the pro- bate code. ‘A committee was ap- pointed to raise'the code and to report the matter to the state legislature for action. Judge Clark visited the state fair and declares that it was bet- ter and bigger than ever. WILL HELP US Chief Forestor Pinchot Thinks Forest Reserve Good Thing For Us. Chief Forestor Pinchot has just completed a visit to the for- est reserve at Cass Lake and left yesterday for Washington. In regard to the reserve Mr. Pin chot said: The principal object of the re- serve are chiefly: To keep tim- ber land growing timber and to prevent waste and destruction by fire. promises to accomplish oughly well. Northern Minne- sota will be richer be richer not only in timber and water because the neighborhood of it will bene fit consfantly more and more, both from the industries the reserve will create. Since occupied agricultural land in northern Minnesota, it can scarcely be claimed that the 231- 000 acres, mainly of timber land in the reserve, is hindering the development of the state. It can hardly be said that Mr, Pinchot views are shared by the people of this vicinity. Cireulates Petition. A. M. Crowell of Turtle River well known in Bemidji is in the city today circulating his petition as an independent candidate for county attorney. Mr. Crowell will oppose the nominee of the republican party and is not with- out hope of success. Dr. and Mrs. E. H.
