LAY STEEL TOMORROW| Work of Completing North- ome Extension Will Be Commenced. LINE TO BE COMPLETED TOI RIPPLE IN 30 DAYS. Date That Train Service Will Be Installed HasNot Been Fixed. The work of laying steel or the Northome extension of the Min- nesota & International railway to Ripple will commence tomor- row morning, according to Sup-. erintendent Strachan of Brain- erd, who is in the city today on his return home after a visit to Northome, where he made ar- rangements for the laying of rails on the extension. Mr. Strachan states that it will take about 30 days to complete the work with the crew that will be put on tomorrow morning. He cannnt state at the present time, however, how long it will be after the rails have been laid to Ripple before regular train service will be installed. ‘It all depends on the weather,” says Mr. Strachan, ‘“and if we are fortunate in having an abundance of good weather regular trains will be running only a short time after the rails are laid, whereas if the weather proves unfavorable it will be a much longer time.” With Profuse Apologies, The Pioneer was-greatly in error last evening in stating that H. G. Hays would be the editor of the Daily Behindtimes, Mr. 0. E. Bailey is the real editor of the publications and the Pioneer hastens to make correction. Formal Opening Noy. 6. The formal opening of the new Hotel Brinkman will be held Nov. 6, Although the new hostelry has been doing business, some portions of the establishment have not been quite completed, and the formal opening was de- ferred until such time as the completion of the hotel could be accomplished. Mr. Brinkman is preparing for an elaborate affair, and itis certain that the occa- BUSINESS MEN OF BEMIDJI OVER ONE HUNDRED STRONG | ENDORSE GIBBONS FOR MAYOR Mass Meeting of Representative Busi- ok NAMES A TICKET Business Men’s Mass Meet-; ing Recommends Candid- “ates for City Office.

When the ‘‘gang’”is compelled to put forward such men for officeas A. M.

A committee consisting of P. J. OLeary, William McCuaig and R. W. Hitchcock was ap- pointed to draw up a_resolution voicing the sentiments expressed by the different speakers. This resolution, which was adopted unanimously by a rising vote, is given elsewhere.. The mention of Mr. Gibbons’ name was re- ceived with cheer and continual lapplause. After resolving to stand to- gether as business men and citi- zens for good government a complete city ticket was en- dorsed and the following com- mittee appointed to carry on the campaign: At large—A.

CITY OF BEMIDJI WILL RECEIVE $1,495. Eight Districts Will Participate in Distribution of the Money. The state school apportionment for October 1905 amounting to $4618.40 is now in the hands of the county auditor awaiting dis- tribution. In addition to the apportion- ment the county auditor has also received $2,886 which is to be dis- tributed among those schools ‘which 'have complied with the state Depa,rtameutal regulations relative to the securing the spec- ial state aid. The following are the districts with the amounts each will re- ceive: Dist. No. 7, City of Bemidji (High) $1495. Dist. No. 60, Village of Black- duck (graded) $535. Dist. No. 4, Nymore Village (semi-graded) §$230. graded) $230. Dist. No. 46. Tenstrike (seml» graded) $230. Dist. No. 18, Eckles (first class rural) $92. i Dist. No. 13, Eckles (second class rural) $37. Dist. No. 17, Turtle River (sec- ond class rural) $37. It will be seen from above that are now participating in the same, amountsto over half the amount received from apportion- ment. This ought to be sufficient now entitled to this special state aid, but which could, by a little extra effort on the part of its school board be entitled to the same either as a first or second class rural school, to {comply with the very sxmple and inecessary regulations of the de- partment, which would entitle them to receive it. It can {be readily seen that if every school in the county were to receiye this aid this county would then receive some $3 000 more than it is now receiving.
