THE BEMIDJI DAILY PION EER. VOLUME 4. NUMBER 250 BEMIDJ], MINNESOTA. THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 14, 1907 LARGE AMOUNT OF TIMBER OF ALL KINDS WAS CUT F. A. Grace Thinks About Usual Amount of Logging Was Done This Winter. “While the total cu% of pine ogs in Northern Minnesota this winter will probably be smaller than last, the total amount of all classes of timber cut will be larger than it was last season,” says F. A. Grace of this city. ‘A few years ago the attention of the Joggers was confined al- most entirely to pine, but now it is different. Camps employing hundreds of men cut nothing but cedar and pulpwocd. “Some very large cedar camps are established through the northern pariof the state, par- ticularly in the territery tribu- tary to Bemidji, along the Minne- sota & International road. Large cedar swamps are to be found all over Northern Minunesota, and the quality of the timber along the Minnesota & International is particularly good, and the quan- tity large. Other camps are de- votad exclusively to getting out timber for bridge piling, posts, poles, railroad ties and puip- wood. “It is true that there has been a big scarcity of men for the woods almost all winter. This scarcity is very apparent at pre- sent. The camps have large enough crews to carry on opera- tions with, but in many instances the crews really should be larger. Men sent to the cities to hire lumberjacks have not been meet- ing with very good success, and orders left with employment agents are only partly filled, be- cause of the scarcity of men in the labor centers. ) “Probably the average wage in the woods ishigherthis year than it ever was before in the history of Minnescta. A man who works steadily all winter in a camp and saves his money, can come out in the spring with a wad that will carry him through until next Christmas, and then leave him a little cash with which to purchase Christmas presents. Basket remnant sale. Extra special bargains will be given Friday, Saturday and Monday. At the Berman Emporium. Returns From Eastern Trip. Mrs. L. L. Beravan has re- tarned from an extended trip to New York and Chicago where she has been the past three weeks purchasing the spring stock for the Berman Emyorium, Mrs. Berman says relative to her trip: “We shall have a larger and better selected line of goods for our store the com- ing season than ever before, We have appreciated the trade in the past, and it is our aim to give the ladies of Bemidji and vicinity a better line of goods than ever be- fore.” The new line of goods are ar- riving daily and the spring open- ing of the Berman Emporium will be announced later.

Pogue, candidate for mayor in opposition to | A. A. Carter, was street commissioner during the year 1904, He was requested to collect poll taxes from those citizens of Bemidji who were liable for the same. \ The records show that he collected as follows: C. H. Miles All of which was turned into the village treasury. At that time Bemidji had a population of about 8,800, of which number about 600 were legal voters. Again, did Mr. Pogue exercise due diligence in the per- formance of his public duty? CHILD AT LITTLE FALLS Three-year-old Boy Took Poison; Unob- served--Not Seriously Injured —Will Recover. Little Falls. Feb. 14.— (Special to Pioneer.)—The three-year-old son of Frank Ziminski on the West side came near being fatally poisoned Tuesday through drinking some carbolic acid which he obtained from a shelf while his mother was not-look- ing. The child was playing with its sister, a girl of about four years, and the mother chanced to leave the room for a few minutes. On one side was a sort of cupboard or row of shelves, and the acid, together with some other bottles, was on the top shelf. Thechild- ren climbed upon chairs high enough to reach the bottles and evidently began to sample them indiscriminately. The little one got hold of the acid bottle and took a drink of it. Isisnot known just how much acid wasin the bottle or how much the child got in its mouth, but the quantity could not have been large. The acid of course burned the child’s throat so that it could hardly scream, but the mother came back about that time, and seeing the bottle and child, immediately guessed the true state of affairs and sent for a doctor. Medical assistance was ob- tained within half an hour after the child drank the acid. Thej child was at that time very quiet| and almost comatose, and ac- cording to the attending physi- cian, ‘“pretty well poisoned.” Its mouth and throat were also quite badly burned. It is not thought that any of the -acid reached its stomach. As it is, DRANK CGARBOLIG AGID, ““We Are King” Coming. The leading woman of Walker Whiteside’s production of “We Are King,” in which Lawrence Evart is starring this season, is Flora Mae Haven.
