' ; READY FOR BUSINESS The Bemidji Elevator Com- pany will Begin Business in a Few Days. ELEVATOR AND MAMMOTH WAREHOUSE ABOUT READY. A Feed Mill Will Be Put in at Once and a Resident Mana- ger Will be Installed, The Bemidji Eleyator Company will be ready to do business with- in a week or ten days. The new elevator and warehouse on the Minnesota & International right of way are now practically com- plete and a resident manager is expected to arrive to take charge |; some time this week or the first of next. The gentlemen who have the enterprise in hand are Duluth men with ample capital at their command. carefully looked over and belieye that Bemidji an advantageous point for such a busing Mr. E. H. Smith, one of the incorporators of the con- cern was in the city yesterday to inspect the prog s made on the buildings and to arvange for the immediate opening of the business. To a Pioneer repre- sentative Mr. Smith said: “I came up here some ‘months ago and became convinced that Be- midje has a futare: it is the natural point for a good town and there can be no better town be- tween Duluth and Crookston, We are confident that the point will be a good one foran elevator business and weare much pleased with the prospect.” The articles of incorporation of the company were published last week and September 15th is the date set for the beginning of the existence of the corpora- tion. The company has an advan- tageous location on the M. & 1. right of way just where the M issippi empti into the lake. The elevator has a capacity of 20,000 bushels while the mam- moth ware house will hold 2 tons of hay besides flour and feed. Both elevator and ware- house are substantially built and represent a considerable invest- ment. A feed mill will be in- stalled at once and will probably be ready to run when the com- pany begins business which will not be later than next week, The institution is one which will add much to the permanent prosperity of Bemidji. The com- pany wiil do a wholesale and jobbing business principally and its establishment hereis the en- tering wedge toward making this a wholesale center for north central Minnesota. It will be a treat to examine the new fall line of waists and skirts which exceeds anything " brought to Bemidji in vast- ol variety, styles and low The Berman Emporium. PRINCESS Grocery Co. M. E.

MANY CASES ON CALENDAR AND TERM WILL BE LONG. Criminal Calendar Larger Than Usual—Four Being Held On Murder Charges. The September term of dis- trict court will.convene Sept. 20, Judge Spooner presiding, and it promises to be one of the most important terms ever held in Beltrami county. The calendar is larger than heretofore, and, h it is not yet complete, twenty-six civil actions have been filed with Clerk of Court Rhoda for trial and twenty-two prison rs are confined in the county 1 awaiting the action of the and jury. Four of the prison- are are being held upon murder charges, but of course it is doubtful at the present whether all of them will be indicted by that body. No business will be transacted by the court on the first day of sitting, and the grand jurors who live in districts away from Be- midji will not be compelled to be present upon the above mentioned date, The reason for this is that Sept. 20 is also primary " election day, and by adjourning until Sept. 21 the court will allow them to vote at the election. CUT THEM OUT Vigorous Effort Being Made To Put an End to Sunday Excursions. Fewer cxcursions were run into Bemidji the past summer than any season during the history of the aty. This was partly due to the fact that the summer has been a cold one and partly to the fact that the rail- roads are doing everything in their power to discourage Sun- day excursions. Religious sentiment is not primarily responsible for this movement. The number of wrecks to trains running on spec- ial schedules is supposed to be the chief reason why some of the managers are opposed to running these special Sunday excursion trains. A wreck might cost the company more than the profits on a whole season’s Sunday ex- cursion. The trains usually run at a high speed, making but a few stops between terminal points. The cars are thronged with men, women and children, and when a wreck occurs the consequences are likely to be disastrous. The matter is now being con- sidered by the Western Passen- ger Association. AWFUL DEATH First Threshing Accident of The Season Near Ada, Nor- man County. Saturday near Ada, Norman county, occurred the first thresh- ing accident and the result, the death of John Hom, one of the crew,and the fatalinjury of Christ Rockstad and another member of the crew, was most terrible. The accident was caused by the break- ing of a culvert and the toppling of the heavy engine into the ditch while the steam was on full blast, John Hom was caughtin the fly wheel and ground into a horrible manner, as well as being thrown directly under the mass of steel and iron. Death was instantane- ous'and when his rems half hour afterward they wi most pitible specizcle. Christ Rockstad was thrown under the heavy mass of iron and one of his lower limbs so badly lacerated and torn that it had to be ampu- tated. One other member of the crew was scverely injured but will recover all right without be- ing marred. Off For The Coast. Mr.and Mrs. S. A. Crafi will leave Thursday for Portland, Oregon where they will make their future home. Mr. Craft has been a valued employe of the Crookston Lumber company and both Mr. and Mrs. Craft haye made many friends here who re- gret to see them leave Bemidji. About Noyember 1st, Mr. Craft expects to accept a position on the coast with Marshall Wells Hardware company of Duluth as manager of a branch house. TOUGH ON CANDIDATES Candidates for Office Are Not Sleeping on a Bed of Roses These Nights. PRIMARY LAW MAKES THEM WORK OVER TIME. Only a Week Remaining Before The Nominations Are Made. Primary Election Day is next week Tuesday, September 20. On that day the republicans of Beltrami county will name their candidates. The law supposes that the democrats and the popu- lists will do likewise, but they wont because either they do not want the office or there are no democrats and populists in Bel- trami county. Avrrangements for the election, which would moré properly be called a nomination, are nearly complete. The official ballots are now being printed and on Thursday the proper officials will call at County Auditor Syl- vester’s office and receive their quota. those who are too far away will receive thea ballots by mail. This feature of the law will save Beltrami county hundreds of dollars many of the precincts be- ing very remote. The different candidates are now working harder than ever making themselves known the voter. Itis far more difficult to pick the winner in a primary clection than in the general elec- tion, because the fight in a prim- ary is simply between persons as against a contest between parties in a regular election. Many of the voters do not know up to the last moment for whom they will vote and where the can- vass is active the voters usually try to escape committing them- selves. The primary two years ago demonstrated that those who were most confident were some- times most badly beaten. The contest in Beltrami coun- ty is a good natured one and there will not be many sore spots after it is over. In Clear- water county candidates are so numerous that it is almost im- possible to tell anything about what will happen next Tuesday. In Cass county on the other hand there are not more than two contests* In Polk county a number of populists have sud- denly been converted to republi- canism and imbued with the be- lief that it is necessary for them to hold office that the country may be saved, and it is reported that the situation is causing the republicans some uneasiness. Other counties are having similar experiences and some freakish things arcdue to happen next Tuesday. NEW WHEAT. First of the Year Shipped Sat- urday From Duluth—20,000 Bushels. The first new wheat to be shipped from the head of the Jakes was loaded out from the Terminal elevator system Satur- day. The consignment consist- ed of 20,000 bushels and was tak- en by the Western Transit liner, Duluth, Grain receipts at the head of the lakes are showing much im- provement. Two hundred cars of all kinds of grain were report- ed Saturday at the office of the secretarv of the Duluth board of trade. The increased volume of grain atthis time is mainly of barle®. The No. 4 grade of wheat which has been established by the board ofappeals meets! with much approval among grain- men. It comes in between No. 8 and rejected and is of special im- portance on this wheat crop. Rejected may mean almost any kind of grade wheat, but, when it is graded No. 4, the grain men know pretty near what it is. Grain of the No. 4 grade is sold by sample. The new grade fits in well with the present crop. Woo Hoos Meet. The second annual boil-up of the Woo Hoo club was held yes- terday at the outlet of the Miss- issippi river from Lake Bemidji. A limited number of the mem- bers were in attendance, but never the-less the occasion was one long to be remembered. Resolutions'were passed express- ing sorrow over the absence of some of the old members and copies of these will be forwarded to them. = Fred Jordan, who did stunt, in the culinary line, was voted a competent chef and will | the 1 hold his positi i Under the amended law, FOR FIVE THOUSAND Bemidji Big Distributing Point For Men In the Woods. MEN BEGINNING TO COME BACK FOR THE WINTER. Employment Agencies Have Orders for Over 1,000 Men At Present. Bemidji is the big distributing point of northern Minnesota for the lumberjack. It is to Be- midji that he comes when he gets himself ready for the winter’s work. Here he knows he can put himself immediately in touch with the loggers and from Bemidji he can secure employ- ment any day that he wants it. So it is toward Bemidji _that he sets his face every fall. Some of him when he gets here are anxious to get to the camps and he is speedily packed south, east or north as the case may be, by the emplopment agencies; others of him are set upon a weck of play and he lays aboutthe town looking for such diversion as the hour may bring forth. The boys are already beginning toarrive in knots of sixand seven but those who are now arriving do not remain long in Bemidji, their services being anxiously sought for by the loggers who are build- ing camps preparing for the sea- son’s cut, Fully five thousand men last year made Bemidji their objective point and this year there will be more aslogging will be carried on on the reservation more extensively this winter. The work of getting the camps | & ready is being pushed as fast as g men can be obtained. The men are still comparatively scarce, || however, and the agencies in the & city now have orders for nearly|sx a thousand men which they arve|X for the most part unable to fill. BEGIN SERIES.
