B | | VOLUME 5. NUMBER 29 BEMIDJ1, MINNESOTA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 22, 1907. THE BEMIDJT DATLY PIONEE] TEN CENTS PER WEEK POSSIBLE TANGLE IN THE RECENTLY-ENACTED LAW Thought That Poor Langua ge Used in Law May Prove Leophole for Hunters---Thought That One Sentence May Nullify License Requirement. International Falls Border Budget: Bad English that may cause some worry for the state game and fish commission has been found in the general game and fish bill which passed the ture the last night of the session. Section 34, referring to the hunter’s license, says: “BHvery; resident of this state ever twenty-one years of age is pro-| hibited from hunting, taking or killing any game bird or game animal, unless he shall have first procured alicense therefore from the county auditor of the county in which he is a resident. Pro- vided, however, that this shall not apply to any resident of said county.”’ Literally construed the last sentence would nullify the license requirement, as every man is supposed to be a resident of the county in which he resides. The sentence was added the last; night of the session and was in- tended to restore the provision of the 1905 law, which required a license of every person hunting| outside his own county. The bill passed voth houses with the clause requiring a license of | every person who wanted to hunt, whether it be on his own farm or in the opposite end of the| state, Then the house recalled the bill and inserted the blind clause, i | The 1905 law, of which the 1907 law is an amendment, says in section 34: “Every resident of this state is prohibited from hunting, tak- ing or killing any game bird or game animal, unless he shall have first procured a license therefore from the county audi- tor of the county in which he re- sides; except that any citizen of this state may hunt, take or kill any of the game birds mentioned in this chapter in the county of which he is a bona fide resident without having a license to so hunt.” The game and fish commission will go ahead collecting license money and prosecuting those that hunt outside of their home county without a license, on the assumption that this is the law and if apy one wants to try the question he will have a chance to do so. The intent of the legis- lature was clear and it is the general practice of the courts to construe laws according to their intent when the intent is clear and the wording not. Carlos Avery, executive agent of the Game and Fish commis sion, has been written to relative to the above, and the Pioneer hopes to be able to publish an explanation from him concerning the possible confliction of the wording of the law mentioned.

Daniels and his big stock company will open a three nights engagement at the City Opera house Thursday, May 28, in “Neath Southern Skies.” Ladies free opening night when accompanied by a paid 50c ticket.

The recital given last evening by the pupils of Miss Dickinson is said, by those who were pres- ent, to have been one of the best affairs of the kind ever given in the city. Owing to the fact that the home of Mrs. John Richards was not in condition for the re- ception of visitors, Mrs. Rowland Gilmore kindly donated the use of her home.

BUSINESS A. A. Melges, Formerly with the North- land Trade Company, Will Be Resident -Manager. The Bemidji Elevator company, of which E. H, Smith of Duluth was the head, has transferred its elevator and business in this city to McCabe Bros. of Duluth, who are extensive operators of ele- vators and commission houses, owning no less than thirty-nine elevators throughout the north- west. The McCabe’s have engaged the services of A. A. Melges of this city, to act as their resident manager, and Mr, Melges now has active charge of the business of the company. Mr. Melges was formerly con- nected with the Northland Trade company, and has had a wide ex- perience in the commission’ busi- ness, having been manager of the produce department for the Northland people. He isa mem- ber of the Springfield Produce ‘company of Springfield, Minn., and in his new capacity will handle the butter, eggs and poultry of that concern. Mr. Melges is a wide-awake business man and will undoubtedly make a success of the local and foreign business of the McCabe Bros. Looking Over Lands. The land-hungry among the residents of the southern part of the state are beginning to sit up and take note of the fact that northern Minnesota, and more particularly the country trib- utary- to Bemidji, is the place where they can get good agri- cultural lands, and at prices that are entirely satisfactory. Yesterday evening, Senator S. D. Works of Mankato, who is in- terested in lands in this viciaity, arrived in the city with four gentlemen from: Mankato, who desire to look over this country, with a view to possible invest- ment. The party was composed of H. P. Forde, G. H. Rush, H. A. Campbell and C. M. Cummins, and they were taken for a drive through the country this morn- ing. GOLD, FROSTY WEATHER; COULD NOT PLANT WHEAT PIONEER HAS FINEST LINE OF STATIONERY Large Purchase Made Today Direct From the Representative of New York House. William H. Wallace, represent- ing the Tower Manufacturing and Novelty Co.,one of the largest .wholesale stationery concerns in the United States, was in the city today, having come here . |from Duluth for the express Ole Anderson Returns From Visit o purpose of filling the wants of His Farm in Saskatchawan, Northwest Canada. Ole Anderson, proprietor of the Lakeshore botel, returned yesterday from a trip to Saskat- chawan, where he has extensive inter- ests. Mr. Anderson owns 640 acres of King Edward’s soil, in the Saskatchawan country. He went out there for the purpose of over- seeing the sowing of about 200 acres of his land with wheat, He found snow on the ground in many places, and the weather was so cold that he was com- pelled to abandon his ittention of putting in a crop until the weather moderates considerably and takes the frost from the ground. Mr. Anderson expects to be able toput in about 200 acres this season, but is in no wise certain, on account of the frigidity of the atmosphere out there, He returned home by the way of Winnipeg and International| Falls, stopping several-daysin the latter place, where heowns a saloon and hotel, W. A, Ferris wént to Gem mell last evening to dc some line re- the Pioneer in the higher grades of stationery. Mr. Wallace sold this paper a fine order of station- ery and novelty goods, which, to- gether with the stock we already have on hand, gives the Pioneer the best selected stock of high- Canadian Northwest,'grade stationery to be found north of the twin cities, not ex- cepting Crookston. Dam Progressing at ‘Falls.” International Falls Echo: Work on the main wall of the Canadian part of the dam is progressing rapidly, the extreme upper end being within about ten feet of its completed height. Three of the four piers for the support of the upper side of the Canadian power house are nearly completed. The building of the coffer-dam on the American side is being rushed, and at the same time the big steam drills are preparing for the removal of the remainder of the rock. On both sides there is greater activity than was ever before seen on the work. | Prohibit Fishing Off Red Lake Bridge. Chief of Police Knox has given strict orders that all fishing from the Red Lake bridge must be stopped. The practice is a dan- gerous one, and the loss of some pair work at the gravel pit near Gemmell, life will be prevented by the strict adherence to this order.

PRAIRIE LEAGUE SEEMS TO HAVE DIED A-BORNIN’ Apparently Impossible to Form the Proposed 'Baseball Organization---Local ‘‘Fans’” Must Be Content with Amateur Ball. From present indications, the “Prairie League,” which gave promise, at one time in the early spring, of developing into some- thing material in the baseball line, has ‘“‘died a--‘bornin.” Be- midji and a few other towns that were originally in the agreement to form the league, raised sub- stantial sums for the mainten- ance of [teams in their communi- ties, and were prepared iogo ahead with the formation of the league. When the time came for the final meeting to perfect the plans and arrange a sche- dule, the Grand Forks people failed to materialize, and have ever since maintained silence on the proposition of the league. Efforts have been made _from time to time to 1nject the elixir of life into the *“Forx” bunch,bhut without avail. It now appears that Bemidji will have no team, of any nature, this season. Several of the players who were members of last year’s team, and who have made their homes in, this city, are leaving for other parts and have all got good berths for the season. Netwithstanding the fact that we have a first-class down-town ball park, this city will probably see no good ball this year, unless 1t is furnished by outside teams. The local “fans” will have to do with some amateur games of more or less interest. Louis Roy ‘“Making Good.” Louis Roy, Bemidji’s old catcher, is playing right field for the Duluth team of the Northern- Copper Country league, and is apparently ‘“‘making good,” in every particular. ‘Louie” is a good hitter, and can hold his own with most of the players in this part of the state. LeGore Goes to Minot. Leigh LeGore, who has offici- ated on the slab in many a win- ning game for the Bemidji team, will play this season with the Minot, N. D., team, having been engaged by Manager Leonard, formerly of this city, Leighisa fine player, when in condition; and as a pitcher, when he is working right, there is no south- side traveler who has it on him in the matter of speed and “slants.” His Bemidji friends wish him success, over in the “Flickertail”’ state. Hoover Goes to Warren. “Tony”’ Hoover, the crack in- fiélder of the Bomidji team, has signed with the Warren, Minn., team, to play either second base or shortstop, Hoover is one of the best all-around semi profes- sional players who ever wore a uniform in this part of the state. He is aggressive, at all times,and infuses his companions with “ginger.” He is a reliable batter, and as a “pinch” hitter always hits the ball.” Warren secures a prizs in Hoover, who is a sober and reliable fellow, both on and off the field. Collins Has Offer. It is more than likely that William Collins, the speedy left fielder of the Bemidji team, will be given a try-out by the Hough- ton team of the Northern-Copper Country league. He has had some correspondence with the management of the Houghton’s, and will probably be given an opportunity to show what he can do, within the next two weeks. Ccllins is a fine fielder and base runner, and is a good batter, Roy Injured. Duluth News Tribune: Out- fielder Roy had to be taken out of the game yesterday, one of his stilts giving out. In the early part of the game he picked up a ground ball in right garden and threw Gibson at first. Advice to Correspondents. The following, taken from the Hutchinson Leader, is pertinent as to what a newspaper editor desires from correspendents in the matter of news from their locality, and might not be taken amiss by correspondents of the Pioneer: “County correspondents ought to write news of importance; about things that are of interest toall. No use saying that some {fellow hauled aload of hay, or that some young man went to see.a certain young lady. Nor does it matter that Mrs, Jones Jborrowed a dozen eggs from Mrs. Jenks, or that one neighbor vis- ited another if they live in the same neighborhood. Write up accidents, marriages, deaths, births, visits from abroad or about your people going a dis- tance to see somebody. Don’t tell or talk about boys and girls calling on each other; that’s their business, unless they get into same escapade that the pub- lic ought to know about. News of the condition of the crops in your vicinity, of new buildings going up, birthday and wedding anniversaries are good. Cut out party gossip, ‘dig’ at your neigh- bors and unpaid advertising. Think, and then write news. If there is no news don’t write.” Two Men Wanted. We want two married men to take charge of our farms in Bel- trami county.. Sober industrious men can secure good positions by applying at once to Donald Land & Lumber company, Win- ter Block, Bemidji, Minn, Local news on the last page. M. & 1. IS IMPROVING TS TRAGK AND ROADBED frack Is Being Ballasted From North- ome to Big Falls---Ditcher = Being Used. The M. & I. Railway is making extensive improvements to its roadbed in the country mnorth from Northome to Big Falls, and has a large crew of men and a gravel train hauling sand for ballasting purposes. The sand is taken from the gravel pit near Gemmell, where a steam shovel is digging up the earth in large chunks. The company has also pur- chased a new" machine called a “ditcher,’’ which will be used to widen the ditches atthe side of the track along the right of-way. The ballasting of the track and strengthening of the roadbed is being made now so as to be in readiness for the making of good time by the company’s through trains, when the Big Falls-Inter- national Falls extension is com- pleted, which it is expected - will be early in July. Wants to Be Notified. Fred M. Dudley: “I wish you would request the powers that be to give notice when they intend to shut off the city water;” so that we mortals can fill tubs and other receptacles with aqua pura for our use. We were greatly in- convenienced today by the shut- ting off of the water supply, without notice.” -
