PRINTED MATTER AT THE STATE MEET ATTRACTIVE Brochure of Bemidji and Comic Cards Furnished By Pioneer Created Favorable Comment The Stillwater Gazette says of the work of the Pemidji delegation to the state convention of the Elks and the manner in which they boomed Bemidji: With a big “B” and the alitera- tive announcement on neat cards Boosting, Booming Bemidji Baby, 1052 B. P. O. E. with boomers to the number of a score were on the ground early with literature and in- ducements for the convention next year. The delegates were Frank S. Lycan, John C. Parker, A. H.

The “brochure” mentioned in the above article was gotten out at the Pioneer Printery, and is one of the best pieces of printing ever issued in this part of the state, the cover, especially, being a piece of art work. The Pioneer does good printing. Poor printing is dear at any price; we are not doing that kind of'‘cheap” printing, but are prepared to prove that we do the best, which is the cheapest in the long run. Strife as to Baseball Supremacy. There promises to be “something doing” when the county-city ball game is played. Alderman Anton Erickson has hurled defiance at Deputy Sheriff Arne Solberg and intimates that the deputy knows nothing whatever of the great American national game and that the city nine will wipe up | the diamond with the county repre- sentatives. Wherefore Umpire Tke Black will be compelled to use considerable diplomacy to prevent bloodshed. Don’t forget that the game will be played August 21. Mr. and Mrs. Phibbs. Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Phibbs returned last evening from a visit to relatives and friends at Niagara Falls, Buffalo, Cleveland and other eastern points. They also visited Mr. Phibbs’ old home at Hagersville, Canada.

Mr. Phibbs states that the crops in this state, corn included, are two weeks ahead of that of Ohio and the great corn belt. ’Nother Boy.

To Mr. Gale of the Northland Produce company, Mr Reeves said of his work: “In spring of 1906, I started to milk six cows and clear forty acrés of land near Tenstrike, Minn. Hav- ing farmed for ten years in north- western part of Iowa, I knew some- thing about cattle and the raising of feed. ‘“This year I have sown about twentyfive acres of my own and about 100 acres of other land to clover and timothy, and have added twenty more cows, thirteen hogs, and so far had twenty calves. Hav ing plenty of good feed and about thirty tons for the winter I am- able to ship about twenty gallons of cream to the Bemidji Creamery every six days, and am getting at this time a test of forty per cent to fifty per cent butter fat. My hogs net me about as much as the cream, and are only being fed the skimmed milk from ”:4)3-3‘39‘3413‘!‘!5%iiiiiiéiaéiééé lthe separator but later on wnll recelve IE MAKES A SUGGESS OF A. P. Reeves of Tenstrike Tells of the |: some grain. “Next year I expect to add more cows and build a silo and have plenty of winter food so as to keep over a larger number of cows the following winter. “This is certainly the natural dairy country and an excellent clover country and there are plenty of wild pea and grasses which make excellent cattle food" ‘At the price that lands ars selling for in Beltrami county, it should certainly be a great inducement for any farmer to come up and own his own farm at a price that he can very soon pay for it entirely.” Sam'Simpson, Successful Logger. Sam Simpson, the Chippewa reser- vation logger who makes Bena- his headquarters, came over from that place yesterday afternoon and spent the night here. Mr. Simpson is a heavy operator on the Cass Lake reservation, under the provisions of the Morris Chip- pewa law.
