THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEIls VOLUME 5. NUMBER 12 BEMIDJ1, MINNESOTA, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 2, 1907. ————————a——— TEN CENTS PER WEEK WORK ON M. & I, 1S PROGRESSING SPLENDIDLY Completion of Extension from Big Falls to the Internafional Boundary Being Rushed. International Falls Echo. A visit to camp 14 on the M. & L. extension, located about four miles suthwest of town, was made by the writer this week and proved very pleasant,indeed, asit gave up further tangible evidence of the fact that we are to ere long have a railroad. mile out on the Connor’s road we came to the crossing point of the railroad, Here we found sub- stantial culverts set and in each direction saw the fifteen foot clearing made for the setting of the telephone poles, which have been placed to the edge of the townsite. Following this a mile out one comes to the full width clearing, which is 100 feet wide, There a crew of men under Foreman E. J. Slane were dropping the trees in the road and opening the way for the coming of the iron horse, On beyond men with teams were skidding logs, and all of the way along ties were being hauled out of the woods and piled up on the sides of the right-of-way. Other men were burning brush and as far away to the southwest as we could see the right-of-way was a scene of activity. Dump cars and rails are on the ground, and by Monday the work of mak- ing the twelve-foot cut on the Emerson place and the distribut- ing of the dirt along the grade for a mile to the north will be started. Upon reaching the camp, the writer and party were soon refreshed by a substantial lunch served by Cook McIntosk, after which we inspected the camp. It consists of a good cock house; a storeroom well filled with provisions; sleeping quart- ers for 100, which does not pro- vide accomodations for all the men in the camp; an office build- ng; blacksmith shop, and stables of lumber and canvass. . It is one of the finest railroad camps we have ever seen, and the size of the same and the provisions made for the carrying on of the work show that Dempsey & Dougherty, the contractors, are accustomed to large operations and are pushing this work as hard as it is possible to do. The trip is well worth any one’s time but if you don’t go that far, walk out a mile to where the railroad will cross the Connor’s road, and where soon you will see the sign reading “Railroad Crossing; Look Out for the Cars.” You will now see enough at that point A to convince you that we are destined to soon be linked with the outside world by a pair of the shining steel bands without which there could be no develop- ment of the wonderful natural possibilities of this section. Declamatory Contest. Cass Lake, May 2.—(Special to Pioneer.)—The declamatory con- | test between the high schools of Park Rapids, Akeley, Grand Rapids, Bemidji and Cass Lake, which was to have taken place here last Friday but was post- poned owing to the illness of sev- eral of the speakers, will bz held next Friday, May 8rd. The enthusiasm which has been aroused over this event is of a very high degree. Itis the first time that a contest of this kind has ever been scheduled in this vart of the state. Card of Thanks. To our sympathizing friends they have manifested during the days of our deep anguish and sorrow in the loss of our boy. Our hearts are indeed very grateful and our thanks are re- spectfully tendered to all who endeavored by kind acts and words to lighten the burden that seemed greater than we could bear. —Mr, and Mrs. A. W. Mitchell, and family. | Callat the Pioncer when you jare in need of office supplies. for the many acts of kindness! Interesting Meetings. [Communicated.] Those who were present at the city hall last evening, experi- enced a remarkable meeting. The praise service, with the “Sunbeam Choir’’ muco in evi- dence, and Mr. Bursk’s fine solo was inspiring. Mr. Hamilton’s text was “Therefore I Cannot Come,” He dealt with the rea- sons people give for refusing Christ, holdiag up to contempt the cowardice backs of most of most of these reasons, and de- nouncing in burning words, the flimsy excuses of those whose God is society. The audience listened spell bound as the mes- sage of God fell from the preach- ers lips. Those who call Christ and christianity narrow, and worship at the shrine of popular- ity and worldly amusements, want none of their companions of the card table, the dance hall, or the Sunday baseball games, iwhen upon a death bed, but send iin haste for the preacher whom they have called narrow, and to be helped to find the Christ whom they have despised, said Mr. Hamilton. Mr. Bursk sang the *‘Gospel Train” and the spirit’s power was again manifested in the after meeting, the audience ris- ing almost as one when those who had determined to serve Christ better were asked to rise. Tonight, Mr. Hamilton will speak on‘‘Six Facts About Hell.” Mr. Bursk will use his stereop- tican, introducing “The Passion Play of Oberammegau,” which will be given in sections, be- ginning tonight and continuing tomorrow, and Saturday even- ing.

FARLEY, LOGGER, HOVE INTO VIEW TODAY Comes from Minneapolis and Grows Reminiscent Concerning a Popular “‘Bird” E. R. Farley, the logger, came up from Minneapolis last even- ing. Edward is not much of a talker, but he was in a reminis- cent mood this morning, and said to a representative of the Pioneer: “The horse is man’s noble friend and benefactor, but he gets nothing out of it except his oats and hay. The horse is just the same as a man that is mar- iried to a rich widow—he has to wear any kind of harness his owxner admires. “The horse has a cousin called the mule, which is an animal with long ears and a short temper. The mule can carelessly fan itself with one ear and un- concernedly kick the complexion off anyhody it dislikes at the same time. “The mule is so constituted that it can conceal its feelings at either end, while the horse is a matter-of-fact animal, and you can tell by looking in its eyes whether it is safe to dally about its heels. “The mule will wear a look of sublime meditation and induce you to approach within ten feet of its radial activity and will then and there put good-luck signs all over you until sympathizing friends drag you out of the dan- ger zone. “For that reason the mule is We are in the market for fifty |looked up to and respected, while Call and see us. ! the horse is made as big a fool of as a soubrette with a fool press agent. “Once in a while a horse gets a streak of mule in it and attempts but its owner gaily builds a fire under it and goes on Continued on last page Bristol Steel Rods Rainbow Steel Rods Split ;Bamboo Rods Cane Rods Bamboo Rods f{ Prices—15c to $5 each.
