B NEW DIRECTORY |FIRE DESTROYS BEING COMPILED| BARN AT WILTON The Pioneer Is Getting Out|Property of C. F. Rogers Burns— Book—Will Be Ready in a Few Weeks. Bemidji is to have a new city di- rectory. Work on it has been|the barn belonging under way for over a week and in the course of a few weeks more the book will be completed and offered for sale to the public. This is the first directory that has been undertaken since two years ago this coming fall, and the city is in need of a volume containing the names and ad- dresses of local people. The old book has become out of date, so rapidly has the city grown. Many people have moved away, a great many more have moved in, and a large number have changed addresses since 1904, The work of getting out this new publication is being under taken by the Pioneer with char- acteristic energy and public spirit, and this fact alone will give the business public of the city confidence in the accuracy and value of the book. The task of gathering data as to names and addresses is in the hands of | Lee Heffron. Goes to Training School. Lawrence Gilman, the young boy who pleaded guilty to the theft of a quanity of musical in-| struments from the M. G. Slocum store, has been sent to the state training school at Red Wing by Judge Skinvik. Sheriff Bailey tooic the lad away yesterday.

Rogers of Wilton was discovered to beon fire, and but for the prompt work of the citizens in keeping the blaze under control the residence and several other buildings would have burned. At the time of the fire there were several tons of hay in the barn which made the danger much greater. Mr. loss is estimated at about $500. Record Catch. Crookston, Minn., May 26.— Fish stories are all right but when one has the real goods to show it certainly has consider- able more weight with a news- paper man, atleast. Alex Arnold, the popular Great Northern en- gineer; passed throuch the city last evening on his regular run and had with him the remainder of the fish that he with Band- master Theriault of Cass Lake caught there Sunday. They were in a row boat and during the day pulled 150 pike from the lake, besides many other varieties, which they refused to keep. The catch for a single boat is un- doubtedly a record for this time of the year at Cass Lake and will surely stand for a while. . Heavy Snow in Colorado. Telluride, Colo., May 26.—San Mi- guel county is covered with eighteen inches of snow. The storm which be- gan Wednesday afternoon has spent its effect. A rock slide 200 feet long came Cown on the rallroad ten miles above Telluride and it will probably be several days before trains can get through. 3.90 r-- \ l [$350] Roger’s| !
