WILL REMOVE FROM CANADA “Farmer”’ Hines Says Great Immigration Movement to Canada Will Soon Cease. LANDS ARE WORTHLESS FOR FARMING PURPOSES. Many Who Have Taken Lands in Canada Will Soon Return to United States. D. W. Hines, who ten years ago created a stir in railroad cir- cles by announcing that he wonld build a railroad from Duluth to the rich wheat belt of North Da- kota and southern Canada, was in the city last night enroute from Hines Spur, where he visited his brother, Jabez, to his home near Cavalier, N. D, Mr. Hines has just returned from a trip through southwest- ern Canada, where he looked over the situation witha view of in- vesting in farming property. He was not favorably impressed with the lands, however, and did not buy a single acre of Canadian soil. He claims that the lands are utterly useless for farming purposes, especially in the sec- tions which are not affected by the precipitation from the Rocky Mountains, “In some sections,” said Mr, Hines, ‘the weather is sodry that only one crop is raised in eight years. Farther north, where some of the more daring settlers have ventured, nothing can be raised on account of the early frosts and blizzards. Snow storms are common even in the middle of the summer owing to the close proximity of the region to the ice laden lands lying far- ther to the north, A sbift of the wind will bring on a blizzard or below zero temperature. 1t is altogether probable that large numbers of settlers who have bought lands in the Saskatche- wan valley will return to the United States this fall, and indi- cations point to a general deser- tion of the territory. now settled by people from the United States.” Mr. Hines also discussed rail- road matters for a short time, saying that the line which the Soo is now contemplating is the identical route selected by him ten years ago when the Great Northern, through the influence of its vast interests in Minnesota, killed the proposition and barred for the time being the establish- ment of a rival and competing line from the wheat belt to the Great Lakes. He said that he was confident that the Soo would build in the near future from Thief River Falls to Duluth and that should this go through northern Minnesota would profit untold benefits. It is not known whether Mr. Hines is interested in the mys- terious company represented by his brother, but it is probable that he is connected in some way with the company.

CARSON, Mgr Phone 282 RED LAKE NOW HAS DAILY MAIL First Trip on New Schedule Made This Morning by Mail Carried Smart. The new daily mail service be- tween Bemidji and Red Lake was instituted this morning and the first trip under the new schedule was made today by Mail Carrier John Smart, who will have charge of the route, although his brother, the Bemidji drayman, has the contract for carrying the mail, and no half way station will be established, as the expense of the arrangement which was first contemplated would have been| greater than using six teams and eliminating a half way stopping place. HINES NAMES SECRETARY D. M. Stoltz Made Secretary and Treasurer of Mys- terious Company. D. M. Stoltz, who has been em ployed as day clerk at the Mark- ham hotel for some time past, has been appointed secretary and treasurer of the mysterious com- pany represented dy Jabez Hines at Hines Spur, and leaves tonight for that place to take up the duties of his position, Beyond this there is no news as to the doings of the company and it is probable that the purpose of the mysteri- ousorganization will not be known for two weeks yet. THREATENINGS AND SLAUGHTER Col. Greene Was Formerly Indian Fighter in the Northwest. Col. Greene of the Greene Con- solidated Copper Co., who is said to have lost five millions because of the recent Lawson raid and who is now breathing out threat- enings and slaughter against the man from Boston, proclaim- ing that he is going up to Bos- ton with a gun in each hand and a rifle or two up his sleeve and his pockets full of dynamite, is an old resident of the northwest. In the early seventies he was in Fargo and was one of the origi- nal owners of the Fargo townsite. He spent a number of years in the Bad Lands cattle raising and mining. The Fargo Morning Call declares that he was a fam- ous Indian fighter and that he made himself popular during the Indian Troubles in the early 70’s. Lawson is still living at three o’clock thls afternoon. LOTS OF FUN FOR MR. HINES Jabe Hines Trots About The Country and Gets Him- self Interviewed. Jabe Hines of Hines Spur, Blackduck and the new Zion City is having all manner of fun with the newspapers of the northern part of the state. Mr. Hines has been traveling a bit of late and has had himself interviewed in every town of any size that he has visited. If Mr. Hines likes to see his name in the newspap- ers he must be fairly hugging himself in satisfaction. Some of the things that the en- terprising newspaper men of northern Minnesota make of Mr. Hinesinteryiewsare fairly funny. One newspaper is much worried because Mr. Hines does not wear a silk tile and thinks that a hand- me-down sweater and a mack- anaw jacket does not well become the founder of a new Zion City. The interviews are going to make a lotof things happen when Mr. Hines throws off the coat of secrecy. All Blackduck town- ship has been brought, the name of Blackduck will be wiped off map, forty factories will be built, every house in ‘the colony will be a brown stone front, the colony will be for the relief of the pau- pers of England, a steamship will be built to plough the waters of the Atlantic, a Divine healing plant of extraordinary capacity will be installed, and a million dollars will be a mere drop in the bucket compared to the amount of money the company is pre- pared to spend, Selah. If Jabe Hines does not get a plug hat and a spike tailed coav pretty soon though the whole thing is liable to fall through. The Red Cross is coming. DECISION IN BANKRUPTCY United States District Court Hands Down Important Decision. BANKRUPT FIRMS MUST DIS- GORGE ALL PROPERTY. Must Also Keep Proper Books of Account Showing True Finan- cial Condition. The court decides thatin order to obtain a discharge in bank- ruptey, the bankrupt muost not only turn over all of its property to the court to be distributed among his creditors, but must keep proper books of account, showing his true financial condi- tion. The decision arises from ba.nk- ruptey proceedings in the case of Johnsrud Bros., who formerly conducted a hardware and imple- ment storeat Fertile, Polk county. They fileda petitioninbankruptcy Jan. 2nd last, and later madean application for a discharge from all debts, claiming that they had turned over tothe court all their property and complied with all the requirements of the bank- ruptcy laws, but the court thought otherwise, the creditors say their attorney, John Balk- with, having filed an objection to the discharge being granted, it having been discoveerd that a cousiderable amount of their property had been turned over to relatives of the bankrupts, and that no accounts had been kept of cash receipts and disburse- ments, for some time before their petition, and that some of the books had been mutilated by erasures and cutting out leaves, and the bankrupts were unable to account for a shortage of oyer ten thousand dollars between what they were supposed to have had in January 1903, and what they had when their petition was filed. MILL WORKERS PUT UP CASH Raise Fund of $500 to Aid a Brother in Dis- tress. The trial of Joseph Guilemette, accused of the brutal murder of Joseph Monegan at Mentor last fall is on at Crookston and is at- tracting widespread attention. Guilemette has been employed all his life in the large woolen mills of Woonsocket, Rhode Is- land and his fellow workmen be- lieve that he is innocent of the crime. They have raised $500 among themselves and have sent Attorney Brochu from Woon- socket to Crookston to defend their fellow workmen. Guil- emette has relatives in Red Lake | county who are well fixed and they are prepared to spend any amount of money to clear the ac- cused man. Attorney Brochu says that he will put up a fight for his life to save Guilemette. . M’LEOD LEAVES ON MONDAY Presbyterian Pastor Quits Bemidji to Accept Position at Tueson, Arizona. Rev. McLeod, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Be- midji, announced this morning that he would leave Bemidji next Monday to accept a call as pastor of the Hirst Presbyterian church at Tucson, Arizona, where he will make his future home. He will be accompanied by Mrs. Mc- Leod and child. Mr. McLeod will deliver his farewell address ‘to the people of the city on next Sunday evening and itis expected that the entire Presbyterian con- gregation, as well as the many other friends of the pastor in Be- midji, will be present to hear his closing address. Neat Restaurant. The removal of the furniture and fixture of the Palace cafe from its former Jocation on Bel- trami avenue to the building on Third street formerly occupied by the I, Meyer & Co. clothing store has been completed and the restaurant now presents a very neat appearance. The interior of the building has been thoroughly renovated and rede- corated and there is little doubt but that Mr. Throm, the propri tor, will receive liberal patro: age. | Subseribe for the Pioneer. RECOVERIES ARE DOUBTFUL Men Injured in Boiler Ex- plosion Still in Very Cri- tical Condition. “The recovery of three of the men injured in the Frohn town- ship boiler explosion is comsid- ered very doubtful,” said the physician who has had charge of the injured men since the acei- dent, *‘and it will be rathera sur- prise should twoof them pull through. Fred Eikstadt is no better, and if anything his condi- tion has changed for the worse to a certain extent. Albert Brewer remains in about the same condi- tion, but the severe burns and in- ternal injuries which he sus- tained may result in his death. Alfred Brewer is a little better but as yet it cannot be stated whether or not he will recover.” These may be considered as the most sanguine statements that can be offered regarding the con- dition of the unfortunate men, coming, as they do, from the mouth of the attending physician and the death of all three of the men is not unlooked for. The other two men, Haberli and Hand, are improving rapidly and there is no doubt about their recovery. BLIND PIGGER IS ARRESTED North Dakota Fugitive Ar- rested in Bemidji This Afternoon By Police. ‘Wmn. Semple was arrested this afternoon by the local police and confined in the city jail and will be held here until the arrival of the authorities from North Da- kota. Semple is said to have con- ducted a blind pig at Langdon and was arrested in that city charged with the crime. He fur- nished a bond for his appearance in court but failed to show up when the trial was to take place. An investigation followed which resulted in finding that he had eluded the officers and made his escape from Langdon. Sheriff Pinkerton immediately tele- graphed to towns along the line of the Great Northern with the result that the man was arrested in Bemidji this afternoon. Sem- pleds well known in this city, having formerly conducted a res- taurant here, and an effort is be- ing made by a number of friends to secue his release. VACATION WILL BE CUT SHORT | & Probability That Children Will Be Allowed Only Week’s Rest for Xmas. At the present time the pros- pects for an extended vacation for the pupils attending the Be- midji public schools' are very slim, and it is probable that only a week will be allowed the child- ren to rest from their studies. At a meeting of the school board Wednesday night it was decided to adjourn school on next Friday and keep the institution closed until Tuesday, Jan. 3. A protest was made by teachers in some of the rooms against the arrange- ment on the grounds that their plans would be materially inter- fered with, and in view of this the board will probably limit the vacation toflone week instead|of two, which they had intended to allow the children. A meeting of the board will be held at the president’s office in the school house Monday evening and the matter will be brought up for discussion and finally decided. TAWNEY NOT OUT _FOR THE SENATE Brother of the Congressman So States in Positive " Terms. Congressman Tawney yesterday passed through the city and it was surmised that he was here to further the interests of the congressman as a candidate for the United States senate, notwith- standing the fact that he has de- nied his candidacy several times, When Tawney was interviewed by the Pioneer, however, he stat-| | ed in most positive terms that his brother was not a-candidate for the senawrshlp. and that he is interests in Judge Tawney, a brother of|& IS HERE A chance of a life time for old and young to purchase Christmas Presents.

Jabe Hines publishes a long letter in this week’s issue of the Blackduck American in which he announces that deplomatic rela- tions have severed between him- self and the Apostle Alexander, that he is thirty two years old and a lumberjack and that Editor Oberg of the American is the only newspaper man in Beltrami county who cannot tell a lie. ‘What he does not say about the purposes of the ‘‘company” would crowd a Carnegie library.
