Will Discuss the Matter of Providing a Betier Road from Here to Itasca State Park. The following telegram was re- ceived today from C. C. Andrews, secretary of the State Forestry Board: *'St. Paul, July 6.—Clyde J. Pryor, Secretary Bemidji Commercial Club, Bemidji, Minn.: I am coming this evening on the Minnesota & Inter- national. Professor Green goes via Duluth, and will not arrive until Sunday. (Signed) C. C. Andrews.” Mr. Andrews and Prof. Green (the latter is the professor of for- estry at the State University) desire to take up with the people of Be- midji the proposition of better roads from this city to the Itasca State Park. The State Park is located at the northwestern corner of Hubbard county, extending a mile in width from east to west and six in depth from north to south in Hubbard county, and four miles, east to west, and six, north to south, in Clear- water county, and is about equal distance from Bemidji or Park Rapids. Heretofore, all travel (for the most part) to the park has been from Park Rapids, from which place there is a good road, and the people of Bemidji have not been in touch with the State Park, which is one of the most beautiful spots in Minne- sota. The state will beautify the park, which will be a resort for all time to come, and the Pioneer be- lieves that Bemidji should be in touch with the situation. While the editor’ of the Pioneer was at the park recently, he had talks with C. M. Owen, president of the board; Professor Green and Mr. Andrews, and they are very desirous that a better road be provided from this city to the park, in order that people wishing to go the park from either the east or west may do so from Bemidji. Before Mr. Andrews and Pro- fessor Green leave, the matter will be taken up with them and thorough- ly discussed, with the hope that some aid may be given toward get- ting a better road to the park. Mr. Andsews will be at the Mark- ham hotel this evening, and will be pleased to meet as many citizens as possible. AMONG SUMMER VISITORS AROUND LAKE BEMIDJI Spoke at the Encampment. Judge L. G.

Chicago, July 6.—(Special to the Pioneer.)—John D.Rockefeller went on the stand in'. Judge Landis’ court at 11 this morning.

Hehad no active part in “its affairs for eight or ten years. -~ After objections by council had been over-ruled, Mr. Rockefeller stated that he believed that the capital stock . of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey was one hundred million. z Mr. Rockefeller declared the earn ings of the company in 1905 were approximately forty per cent, ‘but he could not say positively whether the New Jersey company controlled - the Indiana company or whether it had any business interests outsxde of re- fining oil. C. M. Pratt, secretary of the New Jersey Company was then called. He admitted that his company owned the Indiana concern, and was questioned concerning the dividends of the New Jersey Company. 2= Train Leaves Red Lake Depot e.t Bemidii. at10:15 a. m. for Redby. . .
