WOULD BUILD | OPERA HOUSE B. L. Hollister in the City Today Perfecting Ar- rangements. NEW SHOW HOUSE WILL BE BUILT NEXT SPRING. Sentiment of Pcople Heartily In Favor of Moyement and Deal Will Go Through. B. L. Hollister, editor of the Aitkin Age and manager of the opera house in that city, is in the city today looking over the ground with a view of building an opera house in Bemidji. M. Hollis xpresses the opinion that this is an ideal location for a thoroughly up-to-date showhouse built along modern lines and said to the Pioneer this morning that there was little doubt but that he would commence the erection of the building next spring. . Mr. Hollister has been in the city for the past two days inter- viewing the business men and ascertaining public sentiment regarding the move, and feels highly encouraged over the offers of aid in push the deal. r ct that the sea- son is already so far advanced little could be done in the con- struction of an adequate build ing this fall, but providing enough{ encouragement is evinced by the citizens of the city work will be started next spring. The house will be strictly an opera house built upon plans per- fected since the disastrous Chi- cago theater fire, and would have numerous side entrances. This would preyent any loss of life in case of a fire or panic and would materially increase the number of theater-going people in the city. Another advantage which the establishment of the new opera house woud be the produc- ions of good companies here which up to the present time have been excluded from the city for the lack of stage room and proper seating facilities at the old opera house. Mr, Hollister will expect a bonus frow the pevple uf the city upon the completion of the house, and while he has not yet decided as to what plan he will pursue in securing this, he will probably sell seats for the open- ing performance at a price -of ten dollars. This plan has been successfully operated in a numr ber of different cities and is con sidered as much better than the old way, where the promoters of the housesold stock and promised investors large dividends which never materialized. Mr. Hollister will remain in the city today and return to Ait- kin tomorrow morning. PRINCESS Grocery Co. Pickling and Canning Pears. Colorado Peaches. Fine Italian Blue Plums, Tokay Grapes.

County Auditor Sylvester in- forms us that the expected loan from the state for county ditch- es recently completed in this county cannot be secured at the present time, and arrangements will be made to get the required sum of money from individuals. It was all along expected that the money could be secured from the state at the small interest rate of 3 per cent but this wili now be impossible. The county has issued war- rants tocover the expense of completing the ditches and liens on the lands have been benefitted. The owners of the land must pay for the ditches, but they are al- lowed time in which to do so, paying the same rate of interest which the county has to pay on the money advanced for the work. If the loan could have been secured from the state at three per cent the land owners would have effected a great sav- ing. It is not likely that the money can be secured from pri- vate individuals for less than five or six per cent. State Auditor Iyerson writes that there will be no funds available for loans on county ditches at least until June and the county must make arrangements soon to take up the warrants i A call for bids on the bonds will be issued and the bonds sold to private parties. DRIVING PILES Logging Road Will be Built On Piles Entire Length of Bull- head Lake. R. T. White, who has a con- tract to get out several million feet of logs for the Crookston Lumber company in the vicinity of Kelliher, will soon commence driving piles the entirelength of Bullhead lake, a distance of over one-half mile, upon which will be constructed a logging road to be passed over by teams, and from the top of which the logs will be dumped on the ice on the lake. During the hoisting season just passed 9,000,000 feet of logs were hoisted from the lake to cars in exactly five weeks. Squabble Over Newspaper. The case of A. L. LaFreniere vs. George Sheers, the two news- paper men of Northome, is being iried before Judge MecClenahan today. . J. Taylor, publisher of the Blackduck Times, formerly owned a half interest in the Northome News, which is con- ducted by Mr. Sheers, and sold his interest to LaFreniere. Mr. Sheers refuses to recognize his competitor as a partner in the business, hence the suit. Bailey & McDonald are attorneys for the plaintiff and Herry Funkley appears for the defendant. The case will probably take up theen- tire day and a part of tomorrow. Tone In Town. Aad A. Tone, the Northome lawyer, was in the city this morning and left this afternoon for Grand Rapids, where he has business before the clerk of court. Mr. Tonewho isacandidate for commissioner from his dis- trict in Itasca county,is reciving encouragement from the voters daily and his election is almost assured. Mr. Tone is one of the pioneers of Northome and is well and favorably known as a gentle- man of honor and integrity, and if elected to the office of commis- sioner would without a doubt rep- resent his district with fidelity and honesty. Orders For Axe Handles. Lang & Carter are receiving a large number of arders for axe handles from the logging con- tractors in this vicin:ty and the prospects are that the plant will be operated steadily “dur- ing the fall and winter. The factory turns out an excellent grade of handles which are fast hecoming popular with the log- ging fraternity. Chamberlain’s Coush Remedy. No one who is acquainted with its good qualities can be sur- prised at the great populavity of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. -| It not only cures colds and grip effectualiy and permanently, but prevents these diseases from re- sulting in pneumonia, Tt is also acertain care 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 toan adult. It is pleasant to take. ~ When all these facts are taken into consid- erationit is not surprising that people in foreign lands, as well as at home, esteem this remedy ve highly and very few are willing to take any other after having once used it.

LATE THRESHING PROBABLE - CAUSE OF SCARCITY. ~ Indications Point to Good Wages for Men in Woods the Com- ing Winter. There is every indications at the present time that the scarcity of men for the woods now felt in northern Minnesota will be con- tinued, althongh, in a lesser de- gree, throughout the entire log- ging season. At present the local employment offices are re- ceiving orders daily from the loggers in this vicirity, but few of them have been filled and the outlook is anything but promis- ing. Should the conditions relative to logging operations remain the same during the winter as at present time a number of camps which would have been in opera- tion will be shut down for the want of men. However, a change is predicted by those who have given the sub- ject close consideration, and, while they admit that wages will be higher than last season and that the scarcity will be felt to a certain degree, very few, if any, of the camps which had intended to operate will be closed down. It is said by some thatone rea- son why so few woodsmen have arrived in this section during the past month is that the threshing season in North Dakota and wes- tern Minnesota is not nearly tinished, and that most of the men who rendezvous in Bemidji and other northern Minnesota towns are remaining in the harvest tields, where they receive from %2 to $2.50 per day.

Johnson and Capt, C. C. Teary of Aitkin are in the city today for the first time in six years, and instead of the little backwoads hamlet which was then located here they flnd a city of five thousand people and in the place of the little wooden build- ings which then represented the business placesfind large brick blocks. The gentlemen were here in the year 1898 with the scate troops sent here at the time of the Indian scare, and are sur- prised beyond expression at the phenomenal growth of Bemidji. The old court house, which was located at the corner of Fourth street and Beltrami avenue, has been replaced by the Swedback block. The building served as sleeping apartments for the sol- diers during the Indian trouble, and when the two gentlemen went to inspect ~their quarters found instead of the old rickety wooden building a modern brick structure. Col. Johnson is also deputy public examiner and will spend a few days in the city look- ing over affairs of the state bank and the different county offices. BLAMES ARMY Duluth Employment Man Says Army Is Cause of Shortage of Men For Woods, . In ap interview with the Du- luth Herald, a prominent employ- ment man of that city gives the army recruiting stations credit for the shortage of men for the woods this fall and says that each of the stations established in northern Minnesota have aided in sending men out of the coun: try. Among other things, the gentleman says: “By watching the papers you will see that the sub-recruiting stations, which have been estab- lished in the heart of the lumber- ing regions, transacted by far the heaviest business at certain seasons of the year. If L re- member rightly, the station at Bemidji, the seat of very ex- tensive lumbering operations, se- cured more men for the army in a given time than ary. other sta- tion in the state, including the Twin City and Duluth outfits.
