Bemidji Daily Pioneer MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY. VOLUME 4. NUMBER 15 BEMIDJ1, MINNESOTA. MONDAY, MAY 7, 1906, | RETAIL AND JOBBING TRADE. ‘ | Reports Show That They Are De-| cidedly Active. New York, May 7.—Bradstre weekly review of trade says repor of active retail and jobbing trade, of | fmmense, in fact, unprecedented build- | ing operations, and of really excellem crops, furnish a sharp contrast to the‘ weakness of the country's central | market for securities. This latter re- flects liquidation due to past excesses by a comparatively small number of opérators, not apparently, as in some | past years, generally shared in by the public at large. Continued favorable weather has allowed good progress in | planting, the germination of crops, the | enlargement of country retail trade, improved reorders for summer goods and the placing with confidence of a volume of fall orders fully equal to a vear ago. Collections also have measurably improved. Railway earn- ings are large, clearings still make 1ecords for this season of the year and call for replacement at San Francisco is a feature helpful to trade in many lines. The coal strike still hangs fire | and minor troubles due to unionistic movements on the lakes and in a few clties, the recrudescence in mild form | of May day strikes are elements to be reckoned with. Boston Cigarmakers to Strike. Roston, May 7.—Cigarnkikers’ Union No. 97 of this city b votgd to order b strike for an increase in wages vary- ag from 50 cents to $2.00 1,000 elgars.

Jolley, bishop of the Mormon church at Lov- ell, Wyo., one of the leaders of the large Mormon cclonies that have set- tled in this state in the past two years, has been arrested on a charge of main- taining polygamous relations with two wives. | NEW CABINET A MAKESHIFT.

FAVORS ALLISON AMENDMENT, Président’s Position on Pending Rall- way Rate Bill. ‘Washington, May 7.—In view of the publications regarding the president’s position on the question of railioad rate legislation and the amendments proposed an authoritative statement was issued at the White House defin- ing the president’s position. The statement follows in part: “The so-called Allison amendment, in the president’s judgment, simply states affirmatively what the president believes is already contained in the Hepburn bill; but, if there slightest doubt as to ifs being thus al- ready contalned in the bill, the pres- ident would insist upon its being put in Dbecause unless it is thus contained the bill undoubtedly would be void.” Wainwright Goes to Prison.

I1ST8 IN STRICKEN CITY OF SAN FRANCISCO. i ANXIETY OVER THE WATER SUPPLY EVERY PRECAUTION TAKEN TG PRESERVE HEALTH OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC. San Francisco, May 7.—In every sec: tion of this city the rellef work is now going on without a hitch and nowhere, as far as could be learned, was there any real distress. Another happy fea- ture of the situation is the prospect for a restoration of free and full sup- ply of home lighting and cooking facil- ities. The local gas company is now brepared to turn gas into its mains as soon as the word is given and it is ex- pected that this authorization will be recelved within a few da. Gas will be furnished to a house as soon as the pipes and fixtures there are found all right. This will be a great boon ta householders, the majority of whom are still subject to the inconvenience of cooking their meals on stoves erect- ed in the street. Sowme anxiety is still felt over the purlty of the water supply. City Chemist Gibbs said that samples ot water taken “om the taps at various points about the city were found to he so full of bacteria that sewer pollution was indicated. He still urges citizens 1o boil all water used for drinking pur- poses under any circumstances and a laboratory has heen established at the state university for the analysis of the supply for different points. It is now admitted that the sewers bave broken over the mains and it is also feared that the reservoirs have been polluted owing to the number of people in camps on the water sheds." . WILL AFFORD GREAT AID. 8teel Men Arranging to Furnish Build- ing Material. San Francisco, May 7.—That every facility will be afforded the builders of new ‘San Francisco by the great manu- facturing interests of the East is up- parent by the promises ot representa- tives of all the allied companies of the American steel makers,- six of whom are now on the ground here. Strue- tural steel is to be furnished San Fran- cisco for the next three years as fast as it fs needed and as fast as it can be riveted: together in the frames of buildings that are already being planned. More than that the promise ts-giver’ that.credits on past business will be exiended and payments on néw orders may be deferred to the longest limit. to which individual builders can legitimately be entitled. Money will not be wanting to back up the building operations now about to be energetically taken up and the Insurance money, exceeding $150,000,- 000, soou 1o be released in the com- munity will go a long way in helping the good work along.
