PIONEER PUBLISHING CO. By R. W. HITCHCOCK. - ‘ntered {n the postoffice at Bemidji, Minn., s gecond class matter. .| 0¢ficial Paper Village of Bem?dii SUBSCRIPTION $5 PER YEAR Time to Be Busy.. THE Pioneer has several times of late called attention to the fact that there is vigorous opposition to state drainage notwithstand- ing the state’s demonstrated need. This opposition cropped out in the house Wednesday when the Stephens drainage bill providing for the retention of the present drainage system narrowly es- caped defeat. Members from made a desperate _attempt to kill the measure and there was not much margin of victory for the friends of drainage, The senate is pretty certain to pass the bill. But there is no question that an earnest fight will be made by the southern part of the state against a liberal appropriation. The senaters and representa- tives who are working earnestly fer the success of the drainage measure and to secure a fairly lieral appropriation need help. They have the matter fairly well in hand and if northern Minne- sota will do its duty we shall be able to get proper drainage legis lation; otherwise not. The towns of Beltrami county should unite and send a strong delegation to St. Paul to present the drainage needs of this part of the state. This action must be done at once. It is not taken it is just as certain as the mor- row that adequate funds for the much needed drainage work will not be forthcoming. It is time for every city and town in northern Minesota to be busy in this matter. Tre Minneapolis Journal prob- ably more nearly satisfies the wants of the newspaper reading public than any other paper pub- lished in the northwest. Scarce- ly a week passes that it does not add some popular feature. One of the most recent and notable of these is the publication each week of an orginal Sherlock Holmes story complete—the stor- ies that made Sherlock Holmes a famous character in fiction. Each story .fills a complete page and their publication marks another step forward in the making of a great newspaper. IE THERE is one thing more than another which north central Minnesota needs it is advertis ing, That there is nota concert- ed movement on the part of the cities and towns of this part of the state to advertise our re- sources and advantages is a mat ter for astonishment when we counsider for a moment the pos sible results of such advertising. A liberal expenditure of money for advertising purposes would yield big returns for rorthern Minnesota. - ‘WASHINGTON bill boards must be very prim and proper, Wash ington ball rooms even the scale, however. Russia’s proposals for peace sound very much as though she does not know when she is licked. gB”'S N,ORTI;: FROM | COUNTRY 4 e 2l o P 2 e P i 2B Seed time. —0— Last call for the lion. — How about the back yard? —C— The Mentor Herald says that the moon lms everything mdolh 1 Houle Favocable o New shte Br The Georget-own Advertaser is born. —o— Nobody is w1llmg to clmm to MOTrrow. i —0— Pretty near time to be the man with the hoe. : ‘ —— Tke grand Spring opening is close upon us. —o— It begins to feel like robins and poetry and thunderstorms. —— Todd county and Long Prairie would have a summer school. —0— Wadena county has a farwer who was once champion slmter of the Netherlands. — 3 Aitkin High Rollers have set up ten pins‘and dare any man to knock them down. —0— No freshets in the Red River valley this season.

OVER JORNSON'S VETO REPUBLICAN SENATORS CAUCUS AND DECIDE TO PASS HOR- TON CAPITOL BILL. THE STEPHENS DRAINAGE BILL. GOES THROUGH THE HOUSE WITHOUT CHANGE. St. Paul, March 30.—Forty-six Re- publican state senators out of fifty- two met in caucus in the senate cham- ber Wednesday on the Horton capi- tol bill. After deliberating nearly an hour, they decided to pass the bill over the veto of Governor Johnson. Senator Johnson of St. Peter asked to be excused from voting and Sena- tor Naeseth did not vote. The rest agreed to the proposition; but not un- til after some plain talk. Jepson said he considered the ques- tion a small one to make a party mat- ter. He also took occasion to say that he disapproved of the way the bill was put through the senate in the first place. The caucus call was signed by one senator from each congressional dis- trict, and the meeting was held after the noon adjournment. It was strict- ly executive, Senator Broker presid- ing. Forty-two votes are needed to pass the bill over the veto. The caucus as- sures this vote. It is understood that a similar cau- cus of Republican house members will be attempted: It was proposed to take up the primdry election bills in the senate caucus, but this was opposed as nal a proper subject for caucus action. Senator Fitzpatrick’s eloquent argu- ment undid the passage of the Hugo house bill, relating to the adoption of abandoned and dependent children, in the senate Wednesday. The bill had been passed by a unanimous vote, when Senator Fitzpatrick’s attention was called to the fact, and he moveld R reconsideration, supporting his mo- tion with a dramatic address. Did Not Appeal in Vain. Senator Fitzpatrick’s impassioned appeal, one of the most eloquent ever heard in the halls of the legislature, had its. influence, for the motion to reconsider the vote by which the bill was passed, was carried by a goodly majority. A second motion, by Sena- tor Fitzpatrick, that the bill be placed back on general orders, also carried. Senator T.aybourn’s election bill was on general orders. The bill seeks to extend the direct primary system to the nomination of state officers. The author made a strong plea for his bill. Senator Calhoun assailed the bill. Senator Dale supported it. Senator Frater opposed the meas- ure. Senator Lord pleaded for prog- ress. Senator Laybourn the request of Senator Lord. Progress was then reported on the bill. Tax legislation was the special or- der in the senate in the afternoon. Bills relative to taxation by Senators Thorpe, Lord, Somerville and Repre- sentative W. P. Roberts were under consideration. The first bill taken up was that of Representative Roberts, which was the first measure introduced in the house at this session. It is the “wide open” tax law, which provides for a constitutional amendment that If adopted by the people leaves the legislature free to enact any law It may see fit to pass. It was passed by a vote of 42 to 7. Senator Laybourn presented a pro- tes. against the Nolan reciprocal de- murrage bill, signed by thirty-two Senator | supported |. age Measure. Representatives from Southern and Southwestern Minnesota were arrayed against Northern Minnesota’s mem- bers in the house Wednesday on-the proposition of = state drainage. ,The Stephens bill, re-enacting' the old Grindeland law and adding séctions relating to deepening and widening ditches already constructed, was un- der fire. It was passed without amendment, however, by a liberal margin of votes. - A L. H. Johnson started a breeze in the house, when he proposed a reso- lution providing for a reception com- mittee for the Wisconsin legislature, which, it is reporled will visit St. Paul. The Tesolution prov\defl for a com- mittee of seventeen, the house to con- tribute ten members and the senate the remainder. W. P."Roberts of Hennepin county protested. He wanted to wait until the visitors came. He - also had a “hunch” that the whole thing was to provide Cass Gilbert with another job. Llias Rachie was fearful that the reception cqutemplated some expense. Mr. Johnson came to the rescue iand his voice was explosive in de- nunciation of the interference offered. He prevailed, the vote taken showing the opposition to be decidedly in the minority. No fuss was made *in the senafe when the resolution reached that body mfl it was passed forthwith. The lieutenant governor named the senate 'nd of the joint committee. WHAT THEY SAY Walter Harris: “Business conditions at Tenstrike are gen- erally good. The merchants all seem to be doing a fair trade, and the general depression which has been prevalent in other sec- tions seemingly has not hit us yet. The summer promises to be good, asa large amount of logging operavions will be car- ried on in the vicinity of Ten- strike.” = ” Dr. Brinkman: ¢The plans and specifications for the new Brinkman hotel are completed and have been sent to several con- tractors who intend to bid on the construction of the house. All the bids must be presented on or re- fore April 15. The excavating for the building will be com- menced next week.” Judge Skinvik: “There do not seem to be very many real criminals in Bemidji. The class of men that come before me are for the most part woodsmen who goout on a harmless spree but get a little more liquor than they can hold.” A Favorite Remedy for Babies.
