Have Been Extensive Loggers and Pine Owners in Northern Min- nesota for Years. ¢ Irwin & O’Brien, the extensive loggers and pine owners who! have made their principal oftices in this city for a period of eight { years, will finish up theirlogging i operations in this section during the coming summer, or as soon as the drives are over, and in the future their business interests will be centered in Florida. In speaking to the Pioneer this morning. Mr. Irwin said that the great bulk of pine belonging to the firm in norshern Minnesota had already been cut and that this year;would practically take the last of the timber. “Of course,” said Mr. Irwin, ‘“we still have a few tracts of pine scattered over the country and we will either dispose of these to other companies or have them logged by contractors.” In Florida Irwin & O’Brien have very extensive pine in- terests and are making prepara- tions to go into business on a large scale. A railway is already being built through the belt of timber and will be operated in | connection with the logging operations. A large sawmill will be erected at some convenient point and all logs taken from the woods by the company will be manufactured into lumber at this mill. J. W. Irwin, the senior mem- ber of the firm, will go to Florida to look after the work there, as he has the operations of the com- pany in this section. Mr. Irwin is a pioneer resident of Bemidj, is an excellent business man and has done much toward the up- building of the cily. Hec has hosts of friends in Bemidji and in fact throughout all uhmrth(‘m‘ Minnesota who will regret his! departure but wish him success in the new field. A ratr of Coaalers. A man with a curious fondness for skullcaps was the Abbe de St. Martin, who, in the seventeenth cent made himself ridiculous by his vagaries. He always wore nine of these articles to keep off the cold and, furthermore, nine pairs of stockings. His mode of ing the night was more remarkable still. He caused to be constructéd for himself a bed of ricks, heneath which was a furnace, so arranged that he could regulate It to. the degree of warmth he might require, and-his bed was fitted with only a very small open- Ing, through which the abbe used to creep when he retired to rest at night. Even more ludicr the con- trivance which the great ¥French mathe- matician, Fourier, designed and used for the protection of his health. He in- cased himself in a species of box, the Interior of which, by some mechanical means, was kept at the only tempera- ture at which he felt he could live with- out inconvenience. While enveloped in this clumsy affair he was necessarily confined to one spot, but he provided means for the freedom of his head and hands. Even the ills of asthma and rheumatism, one would have thought, were preferable to existence under such circumstances as this, but the French mathematiciangwe must believe, was of a different §»imou.—Lond(\u Stand- ard. Its Curious Origin, The word “eavesdropper” has a curk ous origin. In the early part of last century the penalty of listening to or overlooking secret assemblies, especial- Iy Masonic ones, was suspension un- der the eaves of a house on a rainy day till the water ran through the clothing and down to the shoes of the offender.—London Express, Resolutions. WHEREAS, Ithas pleased our all wise Father and Ruler, to call from our midst Mrs, Harriet Miller, the beloved wife of our brother T.J. Miller, and while bowing to the wiil of the Almighty, submitting to the inevitable de- cree and deeply deploring the loss our brother and his family have sustained, now be it RESOLVED, That we, the members of Bemidji Lodge No. 119, do extend to our brother and his family our heartfelt sympathy in this their bereavement. Resolved, that asa tribute of {our affection for the dead, these resolutions be inscribed upon the records of our order, a copy presented to the grief stricken | family and that the same be pub- e lished in the Daily Pioneer.

TEAM TO BE " A GOOD ONE Much Good Material Secured for Bemidji Baseball Team This Year. FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON OCCURS TOMORROW. 0ld Grounds Will Be llsed Until Down Town Park Has Been Established. As the baseball season will begin Sunday it will be well for the fans to know the personnel of the team this year. The catching department will be well taken care of by Louis Roy, the old reliable who has been the regular catcher for the past two years, better than whom there is known none in this northern country. The pitchers will prob- ably be the strongest part of the team. Roy Saunders, who is well known in this country, will pitch mostof the games and- will be ably reinforced by Leigh LeGore, Farley LeGore, Roy Tanner and Munroe, Leigh LeGore pitched here last year and when his arm is right, he is a great pitcher. Farley LeGore and Roy Tanner both came with a string of vie- tories in their wake, but little is known of Munroe. He looks quite promising and will be given a trial. Reddy Riddell will again hold down the imitial sack in the same satisfactory manner as before. Leigh LeGore will play second when not pitching. This is no experiment as he played that position for a strong independent team in~ St. Paul. Euirl Hazen will take care of the third sack and with his experience of last year to start with will no doubt develop into the fastest in these parts. Summers will play short and he certainly is a good one, having played that position for Hibbing, Big Duluth and the Du- lath leagueteam. Heis a tinished fielder and a fine batsman and base runner The out-field will 1oom up very strong at the bat and the bases and in the field. In F. L:Gore, R. Tanner, A. Otto, Munroe and N. Smith the team is well sup- plied, Bert Lewis was added to the team recently and promises to strengthen the team ma terially, is an old timer—just what is needed to steady the youngsters, He will no doubt be made captain and coach, as he knows the game from A to Z. The first game will be against Bagley Sunday and all the boys will get a trial. Every fan should turn out and watch the locals perform and get a line on their ability. April 29 the boys ge to Deer River, the following Sun: day Cloquet comes here and they are followed by the Grand Forks leaguers. Every effort is being made to land a down town ball park and it now looks as though it will be successful. A crew of men will be put on at once and the grounds will be constructed in short order. Monday will tell the tale. Following is the batting order of the first game: Tanner 2b; Summers ss;Hazen 8b; LeGore cf; Roy c; Riddell 1b; Otto If; Lewis rf; Munroe p. “That new saleslady,” sald the blond at the ribbon counter, “has falge hair and teeth.” “Yes,” replied the brunette, who con- ’ | descended to sell handkerchiefs occa- slonally, “and it seems that’s not the only thing.
