4 THURSDAY——— = THF BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER— —_ DECEMBER 22 SIMONS IS FOR CLAPP Representative for This Dis- trict Declares His Pre- ference. SAYS HIS CONSTITUENTS FAVOR THE JUNIOR SENATOR. Business Conditions in Red Lake County Are All That Could Be Desired. Representative Simons of Red Lake Falls, who was in November re-elected as representative for the 6lst representative district embracing the counties of Red Lake, Beltrami, and Clearwater, was in the Bemidji this afternoon for a short time. Mr. Simons is extensively interested in banking in Red Lake county and the ad- joining country, having banks at Red Lake Falls, Wylie, St. Hilaire, Brooks and Plummer. In regard to the election of a senator to succeed Senator Clapp Mr. Simons said: “So far as I can discoyer, the people of the district are practically unanimous for Clapp. It was understood during the campaign that I was for Clapp and I was, and I am now. I think that the report that there is opposition to Sena- tor Clapp in Red Lake county is erroneous; here and there a man may perhaps be found who op- posed the Senator but it is rare to find such a one,” Mr. Simons said that the build- ing of the Soo through Red Lake county and to the boundary line has opened up some excellent territory and that business con- ditions in Red Lake county are entirely satisfactory. Mr. Sim- ‘ons has been extensively inter- ested in bauking business in Red Lake county for some years and since the coming of the Soo has started banks at the new towns of Brooks and Plummer.

I know of several other physicians who pre- scribe it regularly.” QIndigestion is making an awful record 89 a cause of sudden deaths. It is beat- ing heart-failure in its ghastly harvest. QVou read in the papers daily of appar- ently healthy and cven robust men being suddenly attacked with acute indigestion after enjoying a hearty meal, and of their dying in many cases before a physician could be called in. qThis should be a warning to you who suffer with regular or periodical attacks of indigestion. If these unfortunate vic- tims of acute indigestion had taken a small dose of Green’s August Flower be- fore or after their meals they would not have fallen a prey to such sudden seizures. QAugust Flower prevents indigestion by creating good digestion, It also regulates the liver, purifies the blood and tones up the entire system in a natural way, 7 QTwo sizes, 25¢ and 75¢.

GANNON SAYS "TWAS FIRED House of Spooner Contestant Destroyed by Fire Last Sunday Morning. INCENDIARISM IS CHARGED TO OPPOSING FACTION: Investigation of Matter Will Fol- Iow and Arrests Are Likely to Be Made. Incendiarism is charged by Matt Gannon, the Spooner char- acter who is trying to gain a title to the Spooner Townsite, in the burning of his house last Sunday morning, Gannon himself, and his family narrowly escaping the flames. According to his story, the family was about toarise on Sun- day morning when the eatire roof of the cabin was found to be in flames and before help could be summoned the building with all its contents was entirely de- stroyed. Gannon went to Crooks- ton, where he spent yesterday conferring with his attorney in the contest case, Chas. Loring, in regard toa future course of action. He is positive that the house was fired by some of the townsite people and will investi- gate the matter thoroughly. Gannon has had peculiarly hard luck with his venture as a komesteader upon eighty acres of the disputed Spooner townsite and has gained several columns of newspaper notoriety since going upto live on the claim. When moving onto his home- stead he purchased the house from the former holder and after making a considerable number of repairs and alterations lived quite peacefully and at ease for a time. Later on he went away on a short visit and upon his return found that his residence had been moved off the claim bodily and divided into two separate houses. He took possession of his property by means of a rifle and replaced his furniture which had been removed. From that time his lot among the Spooner people has been somewhat stren- uous. GIFT EROM BILLY NEWTON Popular Traveling Salesman Sends Copy of Cartoons to Newspapers. The Pioneer is in receipt of a handsomely bound bouk from Billy Newton containing the car- toons made by him at odd mo- ments on the road which have caused so much commentthrough their publication in the Minneap olis Tribune and 1he Minneapolis Journal, The gift is intended as a Christmas present and as such is heartily appreciated, as each of the caricatures is productive of a good -laugh,. Mr. Newton says in his introductory remarks that he has attempted to portray faithfully the life of a traveling salesman and an examination of the book will convince anyone that he has succeeded admirably. SAYS JUDGE IS CROOKED Sam Kee, Laundryman, Feels Sore About Being Fined by Judge Pendergast. Judge Pendergast was accused though not to his face, this morn- ing, by Sam Kee, the owner of the Chinese laundry on Second street, of dealing unfairly with him in imposing a fine for parti- cipating in the tight which oc- curred there Tuesday afternoon The oriental says that he was not to blame for anything that occurred but that he nsed every effort to quell the disturbance. “The judge is crooked,” said Sam Kee. ‘“Finee, finee, all the timee, and me do nothing.’’ “‘As Lund Sees It” A beautiful booklet is sent by Lund, the Minneapolis land man as a Christmas souvenir.

NO QUITTING FOR WINTER Contractor Carlson of New Railway Says Work Will Be Pushed. GRADING WILL CONTINUE UN- TIL FROST IS T0O DEEP. Favorable Season Indicates That Road Will Be Completed Sooner Than Expected. “As long as the present weather continues,” said Con- tractor Carlson, of the firm of Halvorson & Carlson, who have the contract for building the new Red Lac<e railway from Bemidji to Red Lake, “the work of grad- ing on the line will not let up un- til the whole thing is (finished. The frost in the ground at the present time does not materially interfere with our operations, and until the ground is frozen to a depth of several feet we will continue to run the camps now in operation. We have had but very little trouble so far in con- nection with the contract and it looks now as if its completion willbe accomplished much sooner than we expected.”’ “The nature of the conntry through which the line runs is good. Although quite a few swamps will be crossed we do not anticipate any trouble from sink holes, as most of the swamps in the region traversed by the road have. good bottoms. In this respect it differs much from the country through which the M. & I. was built from Black- duck to Northome, as there many bad places were struck and in one place it was necessary to almost fill an entire lake with dirt before piling could be driven and a bridge built.”” Mr. Carlson further stated that the reported purchase of the new line by the Great North- ern was without foundation and the people of Bemidji could feel assured of the building of the road by the original promoters. SCHOOLS CLOSE TOMORROW Two Weeks Holiday Vacation Will Be Given Teachers and Scholars. The Bemidji public schools close tomorrow for two weeks and will be reopened on Monday, Jan. 9, giving the teachers and pupils a two weel’s rest in which to enjoy the Christmas holidays. It had been decided to have only ote week vacation, but in view of the hard work done since Sep- tember by both teachers and pu- pils it was changed so as to allow them two weeks. The schools so far have been more than ordinar- ily successful under the direction of Superintendent Richie, and the corps of teachers employed enjoys the confidence of every parent who has children in atten- dance at the institution. RETURN TO . THE BIG FORK Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Greeley Pass Through City Last Night for Ripple. A. M.

Ship to Be Chartered Which Will Be Used for Transporting Colonists. Dr. Caldwell, the Blackduck physician, was in the city yester- day and gave what he claims to be anthentic information regarding the intentions of Jabez Hines as to the establishment ot a colony at Hines Spur. Mr. Caldwell says that it 1s Mr. Hines’ intention to establish a colony, but neither negroes nor Dowieites will be imported. - In- stead, families from Europe will be transported across the Atlan- tic ocean in a steamship which will be chartered especially for that purpose, and afterwards taken across the country to Hines Spur, the site of Mr. Hines’ operations, where each family will be alloted a certain amount of the land upon which to live. They will be allowed to build houses, till the ground &and make all the money they can from the farm, but a certain percentage of the gross earnings must be paid to Hines for the use of the land. The promoter is at present in the west, where will confer with a company which is backing him in the enterprise, and who are running a cofony upon the same plan that is outlined above.
