SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 12, 1907 e TEN CENTS PER WEEK STEAM HAULER IN THE LAKE NEAR BLAGKDUCK Beltrami Cedar & Land Company's Machine Breaks Through Ice While Crossing Lake. Word comes from Blackduck that the steam hauler belonging to the Beltrami Cedar & Land company went through the ice on Blackduck lake, while being taken across the lake from Blackduck. Information concerning the ac- cident is meager; but no one was injured. It appears that the ice’ was too thin to bear the weight of the heavy engine, though it had been tested thoroughly, and was thought to be amply strong to bear the weight. The Pioneer’s informant stated that the engine was in about three feet of water, and consid- erable difficulty would be exper- ienced in getting it out. Thinks Prayer Uscriptural. Editor Daily Pioneer: : Dear Sir:—Recently, letters have been deluging the country, requesting thata certain prayer be offered, and that a certain number be written, and mailed to the same number of people. The prayer is unscriptural, and everyone who receives a copy, should consign it to the waste- paper basket as I do. Thos. Broomfield, SAMF.

Arnold, a Resident of Sebeka, Will Succeed Colonel Bullard. Resigned. Ronald C. Arnold, of Sebeka, has been appointed commissioner of the Itasca state park. Martin Hinzelman, of Itasca park, was a candidate for the position, but was apparently not strong enough with the “pull” to land the plum, The Sebeka Review says of the new appointee: “R. C. Arnold, of this place, received official notice from Gov- ernor Johnson Wednesday that he haG appointed him commis- sioner of the Itasca State Park. Mr. Arnold’s friends all over the state will be glad to learn of his appointment and will congratu- late him on his success. “There were several candi- dates out for appointment, Barry Lowell, of Wadena, was among them, and at first it did not look very encouraging for Mr. Arnold. but his friends in this county and in St. Paul supported him stoutly and used their influence with success and Governor John son took Mr. Arnold’s candidacy into consideration. He finally decided that Mr. Arnold was the right man and appointed him park commissioner. “The citizens of Sebeka gave Mr. Arnold their best support and did their best to see that he would get the position, and it is a great recommendation to Mr, Arnold that his home town should stand so loyally by him. The village will be sorry to lose him and his family but it will be quite a good thing for them, financially. He will take charge of the park ‘next week and will hold office for two years. Col. Bullard, the retiring park com- missioner, resigned before his term expired and will move his family back to Wadena.” GHARGED WITH SETTING FIRE TO LOGGING CAMP John Lokken Arrested on Complaint of E. M. Peterson for ‘“‘Torching” Latter’s Logging Camp. John Lokken, a lumberjack who has been working in the vicin- ity of Puposkv for some time past, was arrested in the city last night by the deputy sheriff, on complaint of Count Attorney Funkley, who had received a tele- phone message from Puposky, requesting that he have Lokken arrested, as he (Lokken) had yes- terday morning set fire to a camp belonging to E, M. Peterson, near Puposky. Lokken was held here today, pending the arrival of Mr, Peter- son from Puaposky. Kelliher’s New School House. James Braley, who had the contract for building Kelliher’s new $6,000 school house, has completed his!work and left this morning for his home in Red Lake Falls. The building has 'been in- spected and accepted by the school board, who pronounce the work complete and entirely satis- factory. . The school house is* one of the finest in Northern Minnesota, and is a credit to our commun- ity.—Kelliher Journal. First National Bank Doing Well. The annual meeting of the jdirectors of the First National Bank of this city was held a few days ago, at which the affairs of the bank were gone over and found to bein first-class condi- tion. A statement was made to the directors, which was highly satisfactory to those officials. The election of the board of directors, resulted in the selec- tion of the old board in its en- tirety. The election of «fficers resulted in F. P. Sheldoa of Grand Rapids being elected pres- ident; W. H. Roberts of Bemidji, vice president; and R. H. Schu- maker of this city, cashier, Mr. Sheldon hasacted as president of the bank since the death of C, 'W. Hastings last fall. It1s worthy of note that the First National Bank of Bemidji is among the ‘‘roll of honor” na- tional banks of the United States. This “roll of honor” includes only national banks whose sur- plus equals or exceeds their capi- tal. The Bemidji bank has a capital of $25,000 and a surplus of a like amount. Joint Installation Today. The G. A’R. and the Circle held a joint installation of their newly-elected officers in their hall, this afternoon. There was a large attendance. A more complete account of the affair will be given in Monday’s Pioneer. ARRESTED FOR CUTTING PINE ON RUGGLES LAND Over-Enterprising Residents of Wilton Would Log Millionaire’s Timber for Him Without Authority. C, F. Ruggles, the millionaire lumberman of Chicago, has vast holdings of pine timber in Bel- trami and adjoining counties, and he employs acorps of shrewd craisers to watch his lands, lest covetous people take unto thém- selves portions of these fine stands of pine, etc. . Among other places where he has excellent timber is north of Wilton. Accordicding to Joseph Schisel of this city, one of Ruggles’ cruisers, Wm. Foster, Frank Bogenrief of Wilton and Guy Wellcome, but recently from East Grand Forks, have been ‘digging in” to some of Ruggles’ ‘“raw material,” without any authority from the gentiémen from Chicago. On complaint of Schisel, -Dep- uty Sheriff John Bailey yester- day afternoon went to Wilton and placed Foster, Pogenreif and Wellcome under arrest and brought them to Bemidji. They were arraigned before O. M. Skinvik, justice of the peace, this forenoon, on the charge of having cut down standing and growing timber on Sections 5 and 6, 146 N., Range 84 W., belonging to C. F. Ruggles, without any author- ity, and which was not - their property. 8 County Attorney Henry Funk- ley appeared for the state, and the cases were continued: until next Wednesday at 10-a. m. Foster was bound over for ap- pearance in the sum of $300 and Bogenrief in the sum of: $200. Wellcome was allowed to'go on his own recognizance, -as he claimed to have come from Grand Forks the day he was arrested and had simply acted as teamster and knew nothing as to who was the owner of the land or the timber. Will Have Fine the. E. D, Beeson, the general rep- resentative for the Naugle Pole & Tie company of Chicago, will 80on occupy a new residence that, for convenience of arrangement and excellence of finish, will com- pare favorably with any home in Bemidji. . When Mr. Beeson moved Bemidji from Chicago, last sum- mer, he was unable to secure a house that suited him for living purposes, and after vainly trying to get what he desired, finally decided to build one that would be satisfactory. He had plans drawn by Attwood & Young, and gaye them the contract for erect ing the building. The dimen- sions of the new residence are 28x30 feet, two story frame, with a basement, 14x30 feet. The basement will hold a hot-air heat- ing plant, which will warm the home duriug the cold months of late fall and winter. There are five rooms, including a pantry, on the first floor, and on the second floor there are four bedrooms. J. A. Hoff is doing the painting and itis expected that the en- tire building willl be completed and ready for occupancy within ten days. g GOUNTY GOMMISSIONERS TIED AT GRAND RAPIDS Deadlock On, Which Can Only Be Remedied by An Act of the Legislature. A deadlock prevails on the board of county commissioners of Itasca county, and no business has been transacted by the board; and it all comes about through the organization of the new county of Koochiching, which was hewn out of Itasca county and the territory taken from under the control of the old Itasca county officials. When the board assembled for the purpose of holding the an- nual meeting, there were four members to constitute the board. There was nofifth member, as the Fifth district was the terri- tory which had been set apart for thenew county of Koochi- ching, Frank Lang of International Falls was elected as Itasca coun- ty commissioner from that dis- trict at the late election, but he was also appointed register of deeds for the mew county cf Koochiching when it was organ- ized two weeks ago. According to Aad A. Tone of Northome, Lang took the oath of office and qualified as commissioner. How- ever, he did not attempt to parti- cipate ia the assembling of the board. It so happens that there are two factions on the board, two being on each side, and neither faction will give way to the other, with the result that it has been impossible to elect a chairman of the board or transact any busi- uess whatever. After “‘sparring”’ for two days, it was agreed to adjourn until January. 25, and Aad A. ToneofNorthome, a mem- ber of the board, was in the city yesterday on his way home from the meeting at the “Rapids.” Mr. Tone states that about the only manner in which rehef can be obtained is by legislative ac- tion, and it is proposed to have a bill passed at the present ses- sion of the legislature to have another commissioner (possibly to be designated as “at large”) who can sit with the present four members of the board and facilitate the transaction of busi- ness.
