The J. Neils Lumber company obtains timber on five sections at an es- timated price of $5692. A. T. Morrell gets the timber on twen- ty-one sections at $40,951. The Northland Lumber company se- cures the timber on eight sec- tions at $48,483, a total of $95,121, for all timber offered. All other bids are rejected. Several of the bids of the Neils company and of the Northland company are sub- ject to the right of the state of Minnesota to land under the swamp grant, and they are for- bidden to cut timber until “the state’s claim is decided. COLONYISA CERTAINTY Jabez Hines Confirms Report That he Will Establish Dowie Colony. IS STILL SECURING OPTIONS UPON LANDS, Many Enterprises Contemplated, Among Them Being Brooom Handle Factory. Jabez Hines, the Blackduck Dowieite, was a visitor in the city today and in an interview Mr. Hines, confirmed the report that he would establish a colony at Hines ’ Spur, which is situ- ated twoand a half miles north of Tenstrike on the line of the M. & L Mr. Hines said that he repre- sented a company of capitalists and that they were putting up the money for the enterprise and that he, as their agent, was do- ing the work. ‘It is certain that a colony will be established,”’ said Mr. Hines, ‘“but at the pres- ent time I am notat liberty to give out what class of people will compose the settlement, We are still securing options upon all available land around Black- duck, but it is impossible to say how much we have already pur- chased or how much more will be required for our needs. Among other industries which the company will establish at Hines’ Spur will be alarge broom handle factory.” Mr. Hines did not seem in the least disposed to talk concerning the venture and was very guard- ed |in the information he gave out. In yiew of the fact that Mr. Hines admits that a colony will be established and that he is such a radical Dowieite, it would seem that the nature of the col- ony was no longer doubtful. Three carloads of - lumber which will be used in the con- struction of buildings have ar- rived at the spur and the crew of men now at work excavating will be joined by carpenters in the near future.

Some years ago while at work, T fell overa truck and severely injured both of my shins. My blood became poisoned as a result, and the doctor told me I wonld have running sores for life, and that if they were healed up the result would be fatal. Under this discouraging report I left off their treatment and re- sorted to the use of S. S. S. Its effects were prompt and gratifying. It took only a short while for the medicineto en- tirely cure up the sores, and I am not dead as the doctors intimated, nor have the sores ever broke out again.

The Swift Specific Company, Atlanta, 6a ANOKA MAN DISAPPEARS Relatives of George Boucher Cannot Locate Where- abouts of Their Son. WAS LAST SEEN IN NORTHERN MINNESOTA. Vigorous Search Féils to Locate Missing Man and Quest Is Given Up. Another mystery which will perhaps forever remain unsolved has developed in northern Minne- sota in the disappearance of George Boucher, a young man whe came from Anoka some time ago and has since made his home in and about Bemidji. A report was circulated in Anoka some two weeks ago to the effect that young Boucher had been shot accidentally and was confined in a hospital in this city. The Pioneer received sev- eral telegrams and letters from friends and relatives of the young man but it was found that he was not known here and the report of his being shot was not given cre- dence. His parents, who live at Anoka, took the matter up, how- ever, and last week his father in- stituted a searchin Bemidji and neighboring towns for his son, wishing to ascertain whether the |- report was true. He tried hard to locate the missing relative, but in spite of a thorough investiga- tion not a trace of the young man could be found and Mr. Boucher gave up the search without hav- ing so much as found where his son was last seen, and went to work ina lumber camp near Cass Lake. It is said that young Boucher has been abartender during his stay in this part of the state, but this cannot be verified, as he is not known to anyone in this city. DAILY MAIL FOR RED LAKE New Service From Bemidji to Agency Will Be Insti- tuted Dec. 16. Adyice has been received from the postal department at Wash- ington to the effect that on Dec. 16 a daily mail service would be instituted between Bemidji and Red Lake Agency. Foranumber of years past the service has been only a tri-weekly one and has been very unsatisfactory. A petition to the postaldepartment, however, brought about the de- sired change and from the above date the people of Red Lake will receive 'their mail daily. Tom Smart has the contract for haul- ing the mail and it will necessi- tate the addition of two teams and a driver to the regular force now employed on the route. Move Law Offfices.

Absolutely Pure HAS NO SUBSTITUTE T00 MUCH TARDINESS Sup’t. Ritchie Presents Re- port of the Public Schools for November. PEOPLE PAY LITTLE ATTEN- * TION TO THE SCHOOLS, Only 19 Visitors During the Whole Month—Enrollment for the Month 652. Superintendent Ritchie of the city schools has filed his report for the month of November. %’Ir. Ritchie calls particular attention to the matter of tardiness and irregular attendance both of which are larger than they should be. A striking feature of the report, however, is the fact that but 19 people’ visited the schools last month, showing that whatever interest the people of the city have in the public schools, they evince but little active interest. Superintendent Ritchie’s report is as follows: ‘We take pleasure in submitting to the public our report of Be- midji Public Schools for' the month of November. The total enrollment for the month as reported by the several teachers, is 652. The percentage of attendance in the grades is 94§, which is one half per cent lower than for the month of Octo- ber. As stated before, the cases of absences are confined toa comparatively small numter of pupils. In the grades, Miss Miller’s room deserves special mention. With an enrgllment of 66 pupils she reports 97 per cent in attendance. The percentage of attendance in the high school is the same as for the month of October, 97 per cent, Total number cf visitors re- ported is 19, with some rooms roporting none. In the matter of cases of tardiness we have been able tolower the number from 90 for the month of October to 76 for the montk of November. large and we ask that parents see that their children get to school on time. We are glad to report thatin the matter of truancy there was but one case reported. We are not sure. however, that other cases did not occur. The public is cordially invited to visit us and speak gn encour- aging word to the teachers who are earnestly laboring for the betterment of our schools. We are trying for the present to leave off the frills and take on good solid work—with reading to the fore. Itis with sorrow and regret that we report the illness of two of our teachers Misses Covell and Leyde, who are rapidly recover- ing from an attack of typhoid fever. * Respectfully yours, A, P. RITCHIE, Superinthndent. Organized Orchestra. A meeting of the members of the Bemidji orchestra was held last night and the first electionof officers took place.
