| I 'DOES NOT KNOW THAT- THE . MILL IS TO BE'MOVED :bli E croeker,l.oeal Manager Co., Knows of No Move to Bring Company’s Mill ] From the The announcement has come from Bemidji that the Grand Forks Lum- ber company has represenatives there looking over the [place for a | site where they could move their big saw mill from here. While the report is merely a rumor yet the parties who reported it were so insistent that it was an assured fact and are also fairly reliable authority, that some weight must be given the report. It is said thatthe recent act of the legislature in raising the rates for hauling logs in Minnesota has had much to dowwith the proposed move as the company has had continual fight for logs since the present sea- son opened. The people of East Grand Forks would regret the mov- ing away of such a large business institution, but the fact that the officials do not verify the rumors leaves the hope that there is nothing for the Grand Forks Lumber “Forks.” to it.—Grand Forks Press. There is an apparent disposition on the part of philanthropic institu- tions to build another mill in this city, at least on paper, but we fear the-above rumor is incorrect. The Pioneer has interviewed G. E. Crocker, the north-country manager for the Grand Forks Lumber com- pany, concerning the moving of the East Grand Forks mill to this eity, and he disclaims any knowledge of such a move on the part of his company; in fact, he states that he is almost positive that the company has no such intentions. However, the Grand Forks com- pany owns considerable pine timber in this part of the woods, and the expense of driving it to the East Grand Forks plant would be enorm- ous. Besides, lumber companies do some very unexpected things. WALKER BALL TEAM WILL PLAY HERE ON SUNDAY Visiting Players Recently Defeated the Strong Akeley Club, 6 to 5--- Walker Is Strong.

HARRY BLILER WITNESSES BAD AGGIDENT OUT WEST Is Out Taking Photographs in Colorado for the United States Forest Service Harry Bliler, who recently went to Colorado to take some record photographs for the United States Forest service, writes the Pioneer as follows: *Leadville, Col., July 20. “A. G. Rutledge, Bemidji. Minn. “Dear Sir:—The bundle of Pion- eers arrived today. “We are having weather. ‘““The first unpleasant event of my trip occured this forenoon. “I was eleven miles northwest of the city, to get some photos of logging operations, “At an altitude of 11,000 feet,and while descending a steep mountain slope, we overtook a wagon loaded with logs, and riding were two men besides the teamster. They asked if I wished to pass, as passing would be difficult below, but wishing to secure more pictures, I stopped for a few minutes, when I witnessed something I’ll not soon forget. “The rough lock on the log wagon broke, and on the steep slope the driver could not control the team. One man was immediately shaken cool pleasant " off, uninjured, but the second was hurled many feet down the slope, landing among the rocks. “The driver soon followed, when the loaded wagon began rolling, with the team, landing against a pile of rock far below. ““The second man thrown,we found mangled in a horrible manner, but conscious, and his display of grit was certainly great. The driver we found unconscious but not much injured. The injured man we carried to his camp below and sent for a doctor, who arrived this afternoon at 4 o’clock. The doctor said the injured man would recover, although his injuries amounted to lower jaw broken, terrible gash over the right eye, right leg broken in two places, the muscles on the left thigh and right forearm were nearly stripped from the bone, and it appeared that almost every portion of his body was bruised and torn. His display of nerve was simply marvelous. “I expect to be here until the 25th, and will attend the rangers’ examination here,on the 23rd and 24th and then go to Denver. “Kindly send me the Pioneer, beginning with the 18th, to Denver, care of Forest Service. “Yours truly, —“Harry-A. Bliler.” MINNESOTA'S GLAIM T0 SWAMP LANDS CONTESTED C. E. Richardson, Attorney for White Earth Band of Chippewas, Files a Protest Washington, D. C., July 25.—On behalf of the White Earth band of Chippewa Indians, C. E. Richardson, | « their attorney, today filed a protest against patenting to the state of Minnesota large tracts of valuable swamp lands, which are embraced with “black lines” of the national reservation, After the forestry people tried to get control of these lands, which will some day be made rich farming tracts by drainage, the state of Minnesota, through Auditor Iverson laid claim to entire tracts covering |« upward of 137,000 acresin Leech |¢ Lake, Winnibigoshish, White Oak Point and White Earth reservations. Richardson contends that the In- dians have sole ownership .of all swamp lands embraced in the north- ern reservations, Treaties and acts of congress are cited to prove his contention and claim is made that treaty of 1855, in which state claims that Indians ceded these lands, isnull and void. It is alleged that the bureau of forestry had lands set apart of federal forest reserve in Minnesota and thereupon state made its claim. An issue was thus raised between the forestry bureau and the state of Minnesota and Mr. Richardson insists that the Indians were not considered. He affirms that the people of Minnesota will not approve of the acquisition of property at the expense of the Indians. Lands involved which are said to be valuable after being drained embrace upwards of 100,000 acres. Secretary Hitchcock after a hearing granted to Attorney General Young and State Auditor Iverson, held that | &o the lands belonged to the state and approved them for patent. But since Hitchcock’s decision no action has been taken. His action was in direct opposi- tion to a decision of Hoke Smith when secretary of interior, who held that the Red Lake swamp land was the property of the Indians and did not inure to state under the general Swamp land grant. DRS. LARSON AND LARSON INSTALL ELECTRIC SIGN They Have a Large Eye That ‘‘Winks’ With Telling Effect, at Night. Drs. Larson and Larson, the eye specialists, haye placed an electric sign in front of their office, across the street from the Pioneer office, that is at once unique and strikingly attractive. The sign consists of a large and perfectly made reproduction of a At night the electric current is so turrted on, at intervals, human eye. that the eye is apparently making a prodigious wink, drawing the atten- tion of the passerby and holding hit there for a few moments. The sign is but one of the many methods Drs. Larson and Larson have of notifying the public of their presence in Bemidji. They are en- joying a nice business, which they deserve, as they are “on the square,” and are trustworthy in every respect. A BEMIDJI HORSE WON GOOD MONEY AT HIBBING ‘‘Bessie Barolight,” Owned by Thomas Newby, Surprised Horsemen by Her Show of Speed Thomas Newby, the local horse- man, has returned from Hibbing, where he participated in the horse races held last Saturday and Sun- day. Mr. Newby entered his fast mare, “Bessie Barolight,” in two of the fastest races on the card of Hibbing, and in each event the mare showed a burst of speed that was an eye- opener to the horsemen attending the meet. In the 2:I8 class pace, which was pulled off on Saturday, “Bessie Barolight” divided first and second money with “Little Jim,” the pacer, which is the pride of Hibbing, and those who witnessed the race are emphatic in their assertions that, had the mare been pushed to her limit, she would have put “Jim” to the rear in every heat. Last Sunday, in the 2:20 pace, Bessie” was pitted against the pick of Duluth and range horses and gave a grand exhibition of “going.” She won the race in three straight heats, and her pacing was true as clock work, Mr. Newby is enthusiastic in his praise of “Bessie,” and believes the maré will make a great record this season. He purchased her from L. S. Phelps, the noted race horse breeder of Faribault, who owns Happy Hooligan” and other fast ‘nags.” Mr. Newby has given “Bessie” some strenuous training stunts during the past two months The mare is in fine fettle, and Mr. Newby is confident he will drive her to many winning heats before the season closes. Concert Saturday Evening. A sacred concert will be given in the city hall Saturday evening under the direction of Rev. M. C. Martin, of Minneapolis. A large chorus will fill the stage; solos and choruses and instrumental selections will comprise the program. Sheriff's Sale.

Royal friendships. 7. Our only business is the sal- vation of the ~world; we must be servants and so trained in the special service and devoted to Christ. Lastly, is the denominational small college justified? The church is now realizing that its mission is the salvation of the world; it has also learned that it must accomplish this mission through service, It went out first as a conqueror for the acquisition of territory usurped by the enemies of God. Then for centuries it sought through the cloisters the philosophic develop- ment of its faith. Now the church begins to per- ceive that the world can be-con- quered and faith kept pure only through the leavening influences of the lives of service of its in- ‘dividual members. Note the mission boards, the volunteer student move- ment, hospital ministrations, the C. E. society,Epworth League,Men’s Guilds and Brotherhoods. Faith without works is dead. But this demands trained special- ized service. Every problem of the church today finds its answer in|f§ human flesh and blood; equipped for specialized service and consecrated | § to Christ. If, therefore, the church’s mission | is the salvation of the world through service and trained human leader- ship, then the demand for christian |§ higher education is_imperative and the small christian college justified. |8 Such a distinctively christian edu- cation is not furnished in the nor- sectarian private foundations of the east-Harvard, - Yale, Columbia-non | ¥ in the new state universities of the west, From a teaching experience of twenty-three years in the univer- | sity of Nebraska. I know the aims|§ of these great universities are utilitarian, the training of hand and head intellectual culture, rather than heart culture. Has the small Christian college | realized its axm} , Out of these church colleges have come eighty-five per cent of all the college bred men and women sent out in the past five years to the foreign fields, From them have come ninety-three per cent of all our home missionaries now at work; and out of them have come eighty-four per centof the young men in our theological seminaries. Of course this has cost money and must cost much more money in the future; but as Horace Mann ' said, ‘All this expense is justified if one boy is led into the light and truth of God.” ‘Is not that extravagant?’ said a critic. ‘Not if it were my boy,” said Horace Mann, “Dowd Farm” Platted for Sale. After being urged todo so for the past two years, A. A. White has finally decided to plat the tract of land which he owns and which is known as the “Dowd Farm,” and will place the lots on the market for sale, J. F. Gibbons having been appointed as Mr. White’s agent to sell the same. e “Dowd Farm” property rep- resents the most desirable resi- dence property within the city limits. The lots to be sold are on the east side of Bemidji avenue and also south of the fair grounds. The property being of a very de- sirable character, it is expected that the lots will “go like hot cakes.” Fair Meeting Friday Evening. The meeting called for last evening to begin the preliminary work of holding a county fair was not well attended, and it was decided to adjourn the meeting until Friday evening, when ' it is hoped that there will be a larger attendance. Everyone is urged to attend the meeting, which will be held at the city council chambers at 8 o’clock. T00 LATE TO CLASSIFY. WANTED — Two Hotel Brinkman. SUBMITTED BY JAPAN Plan of Government for Korea Under New Emperor. laundry giris. SAID TO BE REVOLUTIONARY Indications That the Court and Cab- inet of the Hermit Empire Are in a State of Consternation as a Result of the Japanese Proposals. Seoul, Korea, July 25.—A message from Chemulpo states that the Japa- nese war vessels Kasagi, Nitaka and Tsucima have arrived there from Gen- san with many bluejackets and pro- vinefal troops on hoard. The troops will proceed to Seoul. It is understood the proposal of Japan, with which Viscount Hayashi was charged, was presented by Mar- quis Tto to the Korean cabinet, which met at 10 a. m. The meeting was held in the temporary quarters of the min. ister of agriculture in the Japanese quarter. The ministers debated until 4 p. m, when Premier Iwang-Yung, together with the minister of war, presented the new plan -of government of the state to the empeéror fn the palace, returning to the cabinet meet- ing within two hotirs. It {s belfeved that the Japanese proposals, though they do not molest the security of the throne, are revolutionary and the fact that the audience of the cabinet mem- bers with the emperor was brief is believed to be' evidence of the con- sternation of the court. MEETING IN THE SUBURBS Many Agitators From Outside Towns Arriving at Seoul. Seoul, Korea, July 25.—Many agi- tators from the provinces are arriving here. Théy are not permitted to as- semble in the city and therefore are menting in suburban towns, where 100 soldiers were detailed to disperse them. On account of the prevalling heat, drought and disquiet the financial archives of the government and also the correspondence of the various government departments have been | removed to the Japanese city to in- sure thelr safety from destruction by fire. Wholesale arrests of subordinates leaving the palace have begun, the object being to intercept possible com- munications from the former emperor which might throw light on alleged plots. Russlan Papers Heavily Fined. Moscow, July 25.—The Viedomosti and the Slovoj, two of the most liberal newspapers in the country, again have been heavily fined.
