New York, Nov. 6.—(Special to the Pioneer.)—The weather in this city is fine and a heavy vote is being polled in many precincts, half the total registered vote be- ing cast before 10 o'clock. This is particularly noticeable in the so-called silk stocking districts, and indicates the terror Hearst's campaign has spread among the better classes. Up to noon several hundred ar- rests had been made for alleged illegal registration. The re- markable feature of these inci- dents was the unusunal number of members of well-known and wealthy families who were ar- (rested and forced to prove their residence in court before being ;permitted to deposit their bal- lots.

Mr. Petterson, Who Leaves Soon, Remembered by His Con- gregation. Rev. E. M. Petterson, pastor of the local Norwegian Lutheran church, who leaves next week for Bagley, was given a pleasant surprise party last night at his home on Minnesota avenue by about 100 of the members of his congregation. The crowd gathered early and the party was a complete sur- prise on the Pettersons. The pastor was not at home, being away at Nary, and in fact he did not arrive until 11 o’clock, when the delayed M. & I. train came in. The crowd had telephoned the depot and had been told that the train would notarrive in all prob- ability until after midnight, and when the Rev. Mr. Petterson walked in at ahout 11, his ap- pearance was as much of a sur- prise on the crowd as the party was on him and his good wife.

Every Ward in the City--- _The Polling Places Have Been the Quietest Spots in Town. Today decides it, and Bemidji, in a humble way, has been doing her share, There can be little doubt but that her share has been humble, for the voting in this city bas been lighter this election than it has been for years. Compared with the general election of two years ago or with the city con- test of a year ago last April, the interest today has been not un like that displayed at the even- ing service when the pastor reaches his “fifthly” or “sixth- 1y.” There has been little or no electioneering on the streets, and political disputes and wrangles have been almost unheard of. Up to between 12:30 and 1 o’clock, when a Pioneer representative made the rounds, the voting in the different wards was running very light, giving little promise of equalling the registration, by from a half to a third. And. the Itrltion, exclusive of the women, of 181, only seventy-fiye had voted. Inthe Third ward the registration was 207 and the vote eighty, and in the Fourth ward the registration was 257, and only sixty-two had cast their ballots. There seems to be a general feeling that this indifference bodes aboutas much ill for John- son as it does for Cole, or for Cole as it does for Johnson. Under normal conditions the stay-at homes are mostly repub- licans, butin this election, where 80 much of the Johnson strength is found in the republican ranks, the “‘pikers” are just as likely to be Johnson voters as Cole voters. There is little question but that the republican candidate will carry the city and the county, although there are a few who expect Johnson to get a bare plurality. There are many who-expect the Cole vote in the spokesman for the crowd, made |registration can hardly be called | county to ‘fall behind the Dunn a neat little speech of apprecia- tion of the pastor’s work in the past and of regret at his ap- proaching departure.

Before leaving, the party presented Mr. and Mrs. Petter- son with a handscme present of silverware. the full voting strength of the different wards. s In the first ward there were registered on the books some 168 names, exclusive of the women, and of these but fifty-five had voted. No women had voted, and in fact, no women had voted inany of the wards. In the Second ward out of a total regis lcity precincts, _ later by the local Eiks and the district deputy, W. S.

The local chapter will start out with a membership of over fifty, agreed to put in their demits, and about twenty-eight ‘fawns’’ being on the list. This is a most excellent start, and the Bemidji lodge should grow into one of the strongest branches of the B. P, O. E. in the stats, \ The installation will be in charge of W. S. McCormick, and the work will be done by the Crookston chapter, which is the nearest Elk lodge to this city, and in whose jurisdiction Bemidji has always belonged.

Kelliher, Nov. 6.—The logging jseason in the vicinity of Kelliher ipromises more extensive oper- 'ations than ever before at- tempted, and the amount of pine and cedar that will be ‘‘put in’” will be much greater than in any former year. In all, some thirty camps will be operated in- .the immediate vicinity of Kelli-- | her, and these will employ in the neighborhood of 8,500 men dur- ing the entire coming winter. R. E White, the pioneer logger for the Crookston Lumber com- pany, will operate five logging and three cedar camps, and will land over 80,000,000 feet of pine, besides many thousand cedar poles and posts. J. A. Irvine, the Grand Forks Lumber company, the C. A. Swmith Lumber company and the Crookston Lumber compaay will establish camps in different sec- tions of the country and will log in the neighborhood of 25,000,000 feet of pine, while numerous sub- contractors will also put in large quantities of pine. In all, nearly 100,000,000 feet of tamarac, pine, etc., will be logged.
