: Tole Pouches MANY WILL REBUILD | Losers in Fire Yesterday Already Making Plans for New Buildings. M. E. BRINKMAN WILL ERECT BRiCK BLOCK. Brick Structures Will Also Be Installed by Other Property,. Holders. The progressive spirit of the citizens of Bemidji was never more fully illustrated than this morning, Hardly had the ashes from the ruined buildings on Third street which were destroy- ed by fire yesterday cooled when plans were on fout by the losers to erect in place of the former frame business houses large brick structures, and as soon as the insurance is adjusted the erection of at least one large brick block with a 50 foot front will be immediately commenced and pushed to completion. Mrs. M. E. Brinkman owned the lots and buildings occupied by the Hub Clothing company and the Brinkman hotel, and she stated this morning that as soon as possible she would erect upon the twolots aone story solid brick structure which she will lease for store purposes. Bacon & . Browne, owners of the building occupied by the John C, Larson saloon, will build atwo story brick building on their lot, but Mr. Bacon is of the opinion that they will defer the erection until spring. It is stated upon good authority that Mrs. Ella Paddock and C. C. Woodward will also build blocks in the near future, and 1t is very probable that inside of six months the entire block formerly occupied by frame buildings will be the site of metropolitan brick structures. A.P. Henrionette, who owns the lot upon which the N. P. sa- loon stood, isalso contemplating the erection of either a stone or solid brick building which will cost in the neighborhood of $8,000. The losses to goods and build- ings as given in the Pioneer yes- terday is very nearly correct, although itis thought that the total will be swelled considerably when an adjustment s made, as the estimate given yesterday was a very conservative-one intended to give the amounts of losses and nsurance as nearly correct as p0551ble PRINCESS Grocery Co.

Prospects That Appointment of Company Will Be Made In Near Future. A telegram received by Capt. Reynolds from E. H. Jerrard,who is now advancing the interests of Bemidji at St. Paul regarding the appointment in this city of a company of the national guards, states that there is almost a cer tainty that the appointment will take place in the near future. Mr. Jerrard has conferred with General Wood, commandant for the state of Minnesota, and others interested in military affairs, and has received encouragement whichienables him to announce al- most positively that he will bring back the appointment. It has been known for some time past that General Wood has considered Bemidji a favorable location for a company, and that as soon as the right kind of an effort to secure the appointment were made by its citizens it would be landed. In the event that the appoint- ment is secured at this time, it will be necessary for those that intend to belong to the company te respond promptly on evenings set apart for drilling, in order to make a good showing at the an- nual encampment which will be held at Lake City next June. NORTH COUNTRY FARES WELL Secures Important Appoint- ments on Committees in the House. The house comumittees ‘were yesterday anaounced by Speaker Clague and northern Minnesota gets a share of the best appoint- ments. Representative Simons of this district is chairman of the com- mittee on banks and banking and secures fourth place on the com- mitteé on census and sixth on drainage and taxes and tax laws. Representative Cole is chair- man of the committee on Roads, o |Bridges and Navigable streams. Bennett of Fosston secures the chairmanship of the committee on Normal Schools, and Krostue of Polk county is at the head of the committee on Drainage. Per- ley of Moorhead gets first place on Education and Elmer Adams of Fergus Falls heads the com- mittee on Elections. Murray of Wadena secures the committée on Immigrati . G. N. OFFICIALS INSPECT LINE Gen. Mgr. Slade, Ass’t Brown and Supt. Davis Pass Through Bemidji. A party of Great Northern offi- cials, among whom were General Manager Slade, Assistant Gen- eral Manager Brown and Division Superintendent Davis, passed through the city this afternoon in a special car attached to train No. 14, enroute to Cass Lake. The officials are making a tour of inspection of the line between Grand Forks and Cass Lake and it is probable that several recom- mendations for improving “the roadbed will be made, - Messrs. Slade and Brown will go - from Cass Lake to their homes in St. Paul'and Superintendent Davis will return to Crookston. "Dr. . J. Larson, the eye spe- cialist, will be at Hotel Remore, Bemidji, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, January 20, 21 and. 22. Have your eyes attended to while the opportunity offers: Fine fruit at Peterson’s, * NUMBER 2 Issued from Grand Rapids Experimental Station This Week. - TREATS OF GROWTH OF SMALL = GRAINS. Offers Valuable Suggesstions to Farmers of this Vicinity—Prac- tical Experiments. The northeast experimental station located at Grand Rapids this week issues a valuable bulle- tin treating of the growth of small grains in this section of the state. The bulletin is as fol- lows: Grand Rapids, Minn. January, 1905. The small grains, wheat, oats, barley and rye have been grown successfully at the northeast ex- periment station for/the past six years. The yield of the different grains and quality, varied accord- ing to the season, the condition of the soil on which they were sown and the variety of seed used. YIELD: Wheat has given an average yield of 17 bushels per acre. Its highest yield was 28 bushels and its lowest 8 bushels. Oats has given an average yield of 39 bushels peracre. Its highest yield was 78 bushels, its lowest 20. These figures as to the high- est and lowest yields are not the average for the whole crop for the year, but that of individual fields and varieties, Barley and winter rye has given an average yield of about 24 bushels per acre. _ QUALITY: The best variety of wheat goes No. 1 hard. So far wheat has been practically free from ailments that commonly effect its quality in wheat grow- ing districts. Even this year the the wheat. Oats as a general thing seems to be of better quali- ty than farther south. The ker- nels fill out well and the whole plant is strong and vigorous. Our best oats this past year yielded 73 bushels per acre, the straw from the same going two tons peracre. Although the ground upon which this oats grew was rich in fertil- ity there was no lodging. Quality was pronounced throughout the whole plant. Rust was quite bad in the oat crop this past year, but came on rather late in the season and did not seem to be very in- jurious. Barley and winter rye have always been of standard quality. VARIETIES: Blue stem has proven to be the best variety of wheat for this section, out of 21 varieties tested. Its yield has been two bushels more per acre than fife and considerable great- er than many of the other varie- ties. Macaroni wheat is less pro- ductive than . blue stem in this section, Some very good work in testing varieties of oats was done by Mr. Chapman. former superintendent, Varieties were gotten from Europe, Canada and various partsof the/United States. All together 34 varieties were usd covering a period of four years. From this lot seven var ieties were found of superior quality, namely Improved Ligo- wa, Lincoln, Early Gothland, BEarly Swedish, White Russian, Archangle and White Wonder. Of these Improved Ligowa was best, and for the past three years this variety bas been used for field oats on the experiment farm giving very satisfactory results. This oats may be secured for seed from the Northeast Experi- ment Farm, but only in two and a half bushel lots, the object being to distribute the seed as widely as possible. Of 22 varieties of barley tested the following three were found best. Manshury, Champion of Vermont and Hous- tons Golden Queen. Of these Manshury has been used for field barley. The yield this past year was 30 bushels per acre. . USES:" There is but little de- mand for wheat on the market in northeastern Minnesota at the flour mills and elevators the acer- age must necessarily be small, its use being principally for chicken|s rust had no noticeable effect on present time. Till we have local oats is always for farm fees especlafly for dairy cows. Not ouly the grain but also the straw is valuable feed. Barley like wheat has lit- tle market.” Its growth should be for feed, especially for hogs. There is little necessity for grow- ing rye except for- early spring pasture. Winter rye does very well. Our crop this past year yielded 20 bushels per acre, after being pastured for -a month in the spring by sheep. Oneadvan- tage of rye is that it will produce a crop on soil lew in fertility. It is no relief however. "Only a last resort on the way to failure for the farmer who allows his fields to become impoverished. Next week we will take up the subject of meadows, hay and pas- ture. A. J. MCGUIRE. FIREMEN ARE INJURED Assistant Chief Pogue Steps On Rusty Nail During Fire Yesterday. A number of injuries were sustained by firemen during the disastrous conflagration yester- day, and as a result one is laid up and his confinement may be pro- longed for some time.

' Last night the foot grew steadily -worse and at 10 o’clock Mr. Pogue was deleri- ous ‘as a result of the intense pain he suffered. ‘He is still in bed but the condition of the in jured foot is somewhat better and he hopes to be out in a few days.
