I g——— MINNES@TA HISTORICAL SRCIETY. THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER. VOLUME 4. NUMBER 227 BEMIDJ1, MINNESOTA, THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 17, 1907 TEN CENTS PER WEEER UP-TO-DATE NURSERY TO BE ESTABLISHED HERE —— JEOISLL “Itasca Park Region Nursery” Incor- porates and Has Purchased Some Very Desirable Lands. Through the individual efforts of Mayor A. A. Carter, Bemidji will have another enterprise that will mean considerable to the development of the community. A corporation to be known as the Itasca Park Region Nursery company has been organized and will at once establish a large nursery, within the limits of the city; and, backed by liberal capi- tal, 1t will undoubtedly be a suc- cess from its inception. L. P. Anderson, now a resident of this city, but who was form- erly engaged in the nursery business in the southern part of the state, has been active with Mayor Carter for some time in securing desira le land for the establishment of a nursery and has met with excellent success in getting what he desired. He has purchased the Achenbach farm of 160 acres, the northwest quarter of Section 5-146-33, and the other parties who will be associated with Mr. Anderson will give enough other desirable land to swell the si1zs of the pre- posed nursery to 527 acres of very desirable property, all of which is peculiarly adaptable for nursery purposes. The papers necessary for the incorporation of the company . have all been prepared and the organization will be perfected within a few days. Mr. Ander- son, who has had many years of experience in the nursery busi- ness, will have active manage- ment of the affairs of the com- pany. He has already cleared a large amount of the land and has a crew of men at work at the present time getting the prop- erty into shape for nursery pur- poses. Mr. Anderson will have his headquarters in Bemidji and will make especial effort to supply nursery stock to all parts of northern Minnesota and North Dakota and perhaps Mon- tana. When the nursery is com- pleted it will be one of the largest operated in the state, and will handle all kinds of nursery pro- ducts. A greenhouse will also be operated in connection with the nursery and the company will be prepared to furnish all kinds of flowers. WOULD RAISE PENSIONS OF DESERVING VETERANS 5 U O e et Congressman Halvor Steenerson Sug- gests There May Be Several Elig- able Old Soldiers Here. Ina letter writen to Anton Erickson of this city, Congress- man Steenerson, who is now at the national capital, makes in- quiries as to the conditions of the old soldiers of this county who have been receivinga pension of $12. Mr. Steenerson, in his letter, states that he is of the opinion that it will be a comparatively easy matter to secure for needy pensioners who have received $12, additional pay per month, if the receipients of the original pension so desire, and are worthy of the additional pay. H. W. Bailey, commander of the Bemidji G. A. R. post, has also received a letter to the same effect as the above, and he today answered and sent several names to Congressman Steenerson as being old soldiers worthy of the additional pension. This raise of pension was se- cured under a special act of congress and is being taken ad- vantage of by alarge number of old “vets.” In fact, bills for the increase are being put through congress at the rate of about 1,000 a week, and Beltrami should ‘“get in the game.”’ JNSC R Rt P Lical news on last page.

The Berman Emporium, Bemidji, Minnesota NORTHERN PAGIFIC AND GREAT NORTHERN GOMBINE Local Express Business of Both Com- panies Consolidated.---Page Will Have Charge. The Great Northern and North- ern Pacific Express offices inth's city have been consolidated, and the entire express business of Bemidji will hereafter be handled from one office. The consolidation has been under consideration for some time past, but was not perfected until yesterday. W. B. Newcomb of St Paul, traveling auditor of the Northern Pacific Express company, and J. G. Johnson of St. Paul, traveling auditor of the Great Northern Express com- pany, arrived in the city yester- day wmorning and immediately began the work of checking up their respective local offices, pre- liminary to making the formal transfer and consolidation of the . business of the two companies. Under the new arrangements, the Great Northern office will handle the express business of both the M. & I. and the G. N., and H G. Page, who has been agent for the Great Northern Express company during the past two years, will have charge of the office. For some time, the ‘consolida- tion has been desired by the M. & I. officials. as the Tacilities for handling the increased business of the N. P. company at the local M. &I office have been inade- quate on account of lack of room, and a continuance of the condi- tions would have necessitated an alteration of the offices. Agent G. A. Walker was o.ertaxed with handling the express business in {addition to the regular work as agent, and - the change will be a welcome relief to him, DOESN'T GARE A “RAP” ABOUT THE RAILROAD A. A. White, Owner of Littlefork Town- sife, ““Spars” with Builders of M. & 1. Extension. A. A. White of St. Paul, known as the ‘“townsite man,” and who is interested in Bemidji property, was in the city this morning, on his way to St. Paul from a_ busi- ness trip to the village of Little- fork, Mr. White is the owner of the townsite of Littlefork. and he has been negotiating for several weeks with the parties who are building the extension of the M. & L railway from Big Falls to International Falls, relative to the extension passing through Littlefork. Concerning the negotiations, and the probability of the road building into Littlefork, Mr. ‘White says: *“We have made several proposi- tions to the railroad people, but in every instance our proposals have been rejected, with the re- sult that we are about through with giving the matter any con- sideration at all. We can get along very well without the ‘iron horse’ in the futureas we have in the past. The river is navigable for steamboats to the village of Littlefork, and Mr. ers, intends to keep them in operation during the open season, which will always give us good service. The government will make some improvements in the river, which will make navigation much easier; and we are not of the railroad not building into Littlefork.” Boy Is Some Better. Report hy ’phone from St, Anthony’s hospital, at alate hour this afternoon is to the effect that boy who was seriously injured Tuesday evening, is some better today, but that there is still danger of fatal complications from the wound in his head. culated, shortly before noon, to the effect that the little sufferer had died. 3 R W O PO P O A Local News on last page.
