SAYS PICKLE FACTORY WOULD BE OF UNTOLD BENEFIT Interesting I'igures Given by the Doctor Regarding New Industry. It is gratifying to know that the prominent and influential business men of this city are making themselves busy in de- veloping enterprises that wiil build up and place Bemidji and Beltrami county on a basis that will insure business and social progress and prosperity for gen erations to come. A supreme effort is being put forth to se- cure and encourage commercial and industrial enterprises par ticularly adapted to our climate and resources, and which can not fail of success if properly managed. At the present time there are several propositions under consideration that can be placed inthis class, and the prospects for a maturing of plans are encouraging. The construction and opera- tion of a modern pickle factory at this point is a proposition that is making a strong appeal to our business men and the farmers in the country distiricts sur- rounding. The utility and prac- tisability of such an enterprise s attracting substantial atten- tion, and has proceeded to that point when the local Business Men’s association at a session Monday evening will devote the time necessary to a general dis- cussion of the proposed indus- try. Asa matter of fact, the promotion of an eaterprise of this character has been under in vestigation and careful consid- eration for months past, and has practically reached a point where definite action may be taken and worlk on the coustruction of the plant may b8 instituted at ounce so that this fall's crop of pickle products can be handled. Among the must enthusiastic advocates of a pickle factory en terprise is Dr. Rowland Gil- more, who has devoted many of his spare moments during the past sammer to a practical con - sideration of the question. The doctor is interested in the pros- perity of Beltramifarmlands,and he has given long and careful thought to the crop proposition with the view of determining the most profitable way in which to utilize the soil of which he is possessed. In an interview with the Pioneer regarding the argicul- tural issue, he engaged at some lengtn in a presentation of his views concerning Beltrami county soil, its producing quali- ties, crops best adapted to the soil and climate, marketing ad- vantages and other pertinent features. Dr. Gilmore maintains that this is not a small grain district for t a0 specitic reasons. First, there is not a sufficient acreage cleared to enable the farmers enough to maintain their fami- lies. Second, if the land was all cleared, it is not a grain soil. “This county,” said Dr. Gil- more, “will produce better timo- thy and clover than any other part of Minnesota. Therefore this is a dairy country. The soil of Beltrami county will pro- duce cabbage, potatoes, cucum- bers, cauliflower, celery, onions, beans, beets and other garden truck in greater quantities than in any other part of this broad land. Therefore this is a pickle country. ““Off one acre of ground, plant- ing cabbage 3} feet apart each way, we raise 15 tons in a poor season and 25 tons in a good seasvn. If this product is mar- keled at the nsual price of 7 or $8 per ton, it is readily seen that cabbuge is a very profitable crop “Beans should net $60 per acre, as it is a prolific crop, and demands a steady and fair mar- ket price. “Potatoes at 25¢c per bushel should net §50 per acre, But, potatoes seldom sell for less than 60c per bushel. *Onions sell for from 75¢ to 41.50 per bushel, and a good on- ion crop is from 200 to 325 bushels to the acre. “Cucumbers are even more profitable when manufactured into pickles, but having no mar- ket here, we have no way to uti— lize this crop. Therefore, our farmers’ sons work in the woods in the winter and in the Dakota harvest fields in the summer, while our farmers’ daughters ‘must go to Dakota to cook for harvest hacds to maintain a liv. ing. - “Had we a-market here for the produce enumerated above, all this labor could be profitable at home. It behvoves Bemidj his kind cauli- flower, cucumbers, onions, etc, in the green sate are perishable, and it is not flrofitab]e to ship in that condition. Hence. in ord. to advantageously marhet th crop so that |the producers can derive fair ‘l)d reasonable pro- fits, arrangen/ents must be made for pickling the produce here, and our people will all prosper by the thrift ¢f the agricalturist “No other place in the state offers the advintages to a pickle factory that Bemidji does, . We can raise pickle produce here cheaper and ip greater quanti- ties than in any other part of the state. Bging nearer to the retailers, our freight rates would be cheaper thin from any other point north |of the Northern Pacific railway to the Canadian border, and west to the central portions of Mentana, where, of course, we would begin to come m compmi(im‘)rwhh the one or two small factories on the Paci- tic slope. This would give us a market of greiter capacity than our supply. aild inasmuch as the raw material can be raised here cheaper than in others parts of the state, andthe large saving in freight rates would give a big adyantage over any other fact- ory in the country.” In iilustration of his ideas, Dr. Gilmore cited one particular in- stance, thatofan experiment of the Clearwater Logging com pany, which strongly supports his views. He s.id: **The Clear- water Logginz company off eightecn acres, with three men employed constantly at $30 per month, two eftra men daring the planting and harvesting sea son, harvested a crop of garden truck valued at $3,800. As 1600 bushels of this crop was pota- toes valued at %0 cenls per bush sl at that time| it can be readily seen that had{the potato crop been markete t the most -ad- vantageous e, the total re- turns would |have exceeded $3.800, potatgs having ad- vanced to $1 30 the succeeding spring. Besidbs, four or five acres were planted in tomatoes which were mt permitted to ripen, but were made into green pickles and valued at 15 cents per bushel, which any farmer or gardener will tell you is a ridi- cualously low price.” “I bave given this matter considerable gerious thought,” continued Dr. Gilmore. “Ihave made it a point| to interview a number of farmers in regard to the proprsition, and they have taken a very favorable view of the proposed enterprise. Seven responsibie farmers have agreed with me to rajse not less than 18 acres each of the produce in question, und may put in twenty- five acres. Fifty men will sign a contract to putin from ore to five acres, if a market can be assured them. I have talked with many mdre and they all are united in the |opinion that the enterprise suggested would be a splendid ove. If the factory can be secured, there is no ques tion but whafitcan be made a grand tinancial success, and will vastly increase the circulating medium in this community. T hope the busihess men will give the proposition the attention that it merits, for I feel confi- dent that an| industry of the kind outlined 'would redound to our everlasting good.” At the request of the Busi- men’s club, several prominent citizens will 4ppear before'that body on Monday night and pre— sent a detailed statement of in— yestigations 'and views, Itis hoped that tnere will bea full attemdance, and business men of the city whoare not members of the club are cordially invited to be presentat the club rooms in the Swedback block. Itisan enterprise in which all our citi- zens are directly interested, and there should be no lack of co- operation and. encouragement. Announcement. Beginning Det. 3rd.

ONE ON JADAM Couldn’t Stand Congressman’s Jokes and so Took to The Tall Timber. The sale of reseryation lands dragged somewhat today, there being but a total of 30 sales made up to 8 o’clock this afternoon out of a total of 270 descriptions of- fered by Auctioneer O’Brien. However, there was the livliest bidding on one piece that has been seen during the sale. This piece, in section 30, township 153, R. 40located on the Red Lake river just below High Landing brought $9.70 per acre. This is the highest price secured during the present sale, and the tract contained 175 acres. It was bought by Pat J. Sullivan of North Dagota. Bidders today were a delegation of Irishmen from Pine City, Congressman Bade’s stamping ground, who, as was joshingly expressed by one of the party, “could’nt stand Jadam’s jokes any longer and de- cided to take to the tall timber.” Gully Sunbeam Hunt also bought a tract and promised quarter-sawed editorials in the future as soon as his sawmill started up.—Crookston Times, Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. No one who is acquainted with its good qualities can be sur- prised at the great popularity of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. It not only cures colds and grip effectually and permanently, but prevents these diseases from re- sulting in pneumonia, It is also a certain cure for croup. Whoop- ing cough is not dangerous when this remedy is given. It con- tains no opium or other harmful substance and may be given as confidently to baby as to an adult. It is pleasant to take. ~ When all these facts are taken into consid- eration it is not surprising that people in foreign lands, as well as at home, esteem this remedy very highly and very few are willing to take any- other after having once used it. For sale by Barker’s Drug Store. Chicken Pie Supper. The ladies of the Baptist church have planned a chicken pie supper for next Tuesday evening and it will be seryed in the building recently vacated by the Ross Hardware store. Cause of Lockjaw. Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused by a bacillus or germ which ex- ists plentifully in street dirt. It is inactive so long as exposed to the air, but when carried beneath the skin, as in the wounds caused by percussion caps or by rusty nails, and when the air is ex- cluded the germ is roused to ac- tivity and produces the most vir- ulent poison known. ~ These germs nay be destroyed and all danger of lockjaw avoided by ap- plying Chamberlain’s Pain Balm freely as soon as the injury is received. Pain Balm is an antiseptic and causes cuts, bruises and like injuries to heal without maturation and in one- third the time required'by the usual treatment. Sold by Bar- ker’s Drug store.

Are Chiropractic Adjustments the same a.s Osteopath Treatments? No. The Chiropractic and the Osteopath both aim to put in place that which is out of place, to right that which is wrong; but the Path- ology Diagnosis, Prognosis and Movements are entirely different. One of my patients, Mr. W.4A. Casler, has taken both Chiropractic and Osteopoth treatments. The Chiropractic is ten times more direct in the adjustments and the results getting health ten times more thor- ough in one tenth of the time than an Osteopath would.
