THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEE VOLUME 5. NUMBER 108. BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 27, 1907. F ORTY CENTS PER MONTH COUNCIL APPROPRIATED $250 TO AID COUNTY FAIR Also Considered the Street Railway Proposition and Sev- eral Other Matters, at Meeting Last Evening.--- Will Amend Railway Ordinance. The regular meeting of the council was held at the council rooms last evening, and after the reading and approval of the minutes of the last meeting, and the allowance of the usual number of bills, the regular work was taken up. A resolution of the Nymore council was read wherein that body offered to appropriate $150 towards the lay- ing out of the road between this city and Nymore, the same to be paid provided a good passable road is built. The resolution was accepted and filed. ‘I'he ordinance requiring meters to be placed in all houses using city water was given its third reading and passed. This ordinance requires all users of city water to purchase and install meters before January 1, 1908. The matter of the reading of the ordinance granting a street railway was then taken up and discussed at length. A number of amendments were suggested, and it was finally agreed that a new ordinance would be drafted and presented at the next meeting. A committee of three | was authorized to be appointed to counfer with the railwvay committee. Chairman Gould appointed as such | committee, W. N. Bowser, J. P. Pogue and John F. Gibbons and a meeting will be arranged for some day this week. The report of Justice M. G. Slo- cum was accepted. The contract of S. N. Reeves for the lowering of the city hall was approved and the mayor instructed to sign same. The application of A. L. Wyler for transfer of the license was on motion approved, he to furnish a new bond. Major Bros. were granted a por- tion of the alley while they were con- constructing their new brick build- ing, between First and Second streets on Beltrami avenue. The council granted an appropria- tion of $250 to the use of the Bel- trami County Agricultnral associa- tion, to be expended for the 1907 county fair. The finance committee made a report recommending an amendment to the peddler’s ordinance. They recommend that the peddler’s license be changed from $20 per year to $10 per day; circuses from $25 per day for the first day and $10 for each subsequent day to $150 for the first day and $25 for each subsequent day; medicine shows from $5 for the first day and $2.50 for each subse- quent day to $25 and $15. The above recommendations are commendable, as during the past summer Bemidji has been an easy mark for fakirs, much to the disgust of the citizens, and they constitute financial loss to the merchants. -— Special Election Today.

O’Leary and Bowser The Leading Department Store Congressman Steenerson Not a Candidate for Governor The Pioneer yesterday contained a clipping from the Duluth News-Tribune relative to boost- ing Congressman Steenerson for Congress. The Crookston Journal of yesterday contains the fol- lowing statement from Mr. Steenerson relative to the actions of his friends in pushing his name to the front as-a gubernatorial candidate for governor on the republican ticket: “1 am compelled to turn a cold shoulder to any proposition having as its object my becoming Republican candidate for election as governor of Minnesota. 1 appreciate the high compliment involved in being mentioned as good timber for governor but | believe | can do more in my present position which suits my taste and satisfies my ambition exactly. The field of usefulness in congress is, to my notion, much broader than in the position of Governor of Minnesota.” —_— e ANACONDA STANDARD ON THE BRIGHT-DEA WEDDING Matt Bright Sends Pioneer an Account of Marriage of Local Couple. In a letter to the editor of the Pioneer, Matt Bright, who is now stationed at Butte, Mont., writes the following, enclosing a clipping taken from the Anaconda Standard, telling of the marriage of Miss A. Adelia Bright, sister of Mr. Bright: “Butte, Aug. 24. “Mr. Doc Rutledge, Bemidji, Minn. “Friend Doc:—Enclosed find a clipping from the ‘Anaconda Stand- ard, published in Butte, and taken from the society columns. I thought it might be of interest to the Be- - midji people. “I see where you are secretary of the county fair, and hope you make a success of it. They needed a live one to push it through. “Four of the mines shut down to- day, on account of the machinists’ strike, and more will have to. Haven’t had telephone service since I came, on account of the telephone strike here. ) “Hope everything is lovely. “Yours as ever, —"Matt Bright.” Anaconda Standard: Mr. and Mrs. P. F.

The ceremony took place at 9 o’clock Wednesday morning, Aug. 14, at St. Patrick’s church, with the Rev. Father De Siere as cele- brant of the nupital mass. The bride, attired in the typical wedding garment of white, wore a veil, her only ornament consisting of a rare gold cross and chain, the wedding gift of the groom. Miss Anna Dennison, also in white, with white picture hat, acted as bridesmaid. The groom, in conventional black, was supported by Matthew R. Bright, brother of the bride. All who have had the good fortune to come in contact with the bride, in either a social or a professional manner, agree 2s to her many lovable traits of character. She has most success- fully filled the position of principal of the high school of Bemidji, Minn., for the past four years, and both pupils and school board were loath to" relinquish her services. The groom holds the responsible position of superintendent of the milling plant of the Crookston Lumber company, located at Bemidji, Minn. He has all the sterling qualities that go to make a popular man. Both persons concerned are to be congratulated upon their choice of partners. Their standing among their 'friends was attested by the number of beautiful and valuable gifts received. After the ceremony a wedding breakfast was served at the home of Mr. and Mrs. P. F. Small. The happy pair ‘departed<on the North Coast limited for an extended trip in the East, and will be at home to their many friends at Bemidji, Minn., after Oct. 1. MAJOR BROS. WILL BUILD BLOCK ON THEIR LOTS Thomas Johnson Will Prepare Plans for $6,000 Structure to Be Built Immediately. And still another brick block is to be added to the list of business buildings erected in Bemidji during the summer and fall of 1907. Al- ready some five or six buildings of good dimensions have been added to the city’s substantial growth since the beginning of the year, and many more are in contemplation. Major Bros., the local dealers in feed and produce, are the latest to announce their intention of improv- ing their property and adding very materially to its value. The Major Bros. state that they have engaged the services of Thomas Johnson, the local architect and contractor, to furnish plans and specifications for a two-story brick building, 50x50 feet, the plans to be ready as soon as possible. The announced cost of the block, when completed, will be $6,000. Mr. Johnson annouces that he will have the plans ready for. approval in a very few days, and the Major Bros. will immediately let the con- tract for the erection of the bullding, which will be-built on the site of their presént store (on lower Minne- ‘sota avenue) and the frame building which now occupies the lots will be moved to the rear, to give room for the new block.

Herald: “Bemidji- ‘prob: ably does a larger -ammunition busi- ness than any town of its size in the state,” said L. L. Whitney of Be- midji, Minn, at the St. Louis. “St. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth are the only towns that beats her on sales. There is a vast area of forest to the north of Bemidji, where there Is very good hunting, and Bemidji is the starting point for practically all the hunting parties going into the region. They come from out- side points and stop in our town for a day or two to fit up for the trip. Most of them buy their ammunition there, thus saving the bother of carrying it long distances on the train. “The dealers expect this year, and make preparations accordingly. You would think there was - a war going on to see the number of boxes of ammunition coming into town along in the fall of the year. Even with the heavy supply on hand, I have known instances where the dealer in town has been out of some of the cartridges most commonly used. That was several years ago,however. They now take good care to see that there is no chance of their run- ning short, and a man may_safely put off his purchases until he hits Bemidji. The opening of the coun- try along the Minnesota & Interna- tional road is going to attracta good many additional big game hunters.” George Millard Goes North. George Millard, who until a few days ago was cashier of the First State Bank of Big Falls, and who visited with friends in this city over Sunday, left last evening for Big Falls. In afew days, Mr. Millard will leave Big Falls for International Falls, where he will officiate as cashier of the First State Bank of International Falls. Mr. Millard is one of the most conservative young business men in the north country, and his many Bemidji friends wish him success in his new field, in the border town. Mr. Reeves of Tenstrike is in the tity today. He is looking for a place for his 17-year-old boy to stay. the coming winter. The .young man will enter the Bemidji high school next Monday. 2 ' JAMES F. HAWKINS WILL REOPEN HIS MARKET HERE Popular Vendor of Meats Has Returned to Bemidji and Will Again Prepare Excellent Cuts of Steak.--- Alex. Doran Will Assist, The meat market which has been conducted for some time past under the management of Hawkins Bros. has been closed during the past ten days, owing to the death of Patrick Hawkins, who was the active mana- ger of the market. The people of Bemidji will be pleased to learn that the market will be reopened Saturday next,under the personal management and direction of James F. Hawkins, who made such a success of the market previous to going to Minot, N. D., last fall. James Hawkins, by his untiring efforts to please the public with the best the market afforded in the line of meats and provisions and every- thing kept in a first-class meat market, made many friends and secured a large patronage while he remained in the city and had per- sonal charge of the business. His removal to Minot was always regretted. Since he went to the “Flickertail” state, Mr. Hawkins has been the recipient of many requests to return to Bemidjl and again assume the management of the local market that was conducted by Patrick Hawkins, and he has at last listened to the requests, and on Saturday will again be behind the counter at the old stand, prepared to cut meats in the exceptional manner for which he is noted. And, by the way, Mr. Hawkins has no superior in the state of Minne- sota as a cutter of meats, a fact which many housewives of Bemidji can attest to, as a large majority of them have had reason to note his excellent work as a vendor of meats. Mr. Hawkins has engaged the services of Alexander Doran, one of the most poptlar young men who ever resided in Bemidji, to assist in conducting the market. Mr. Doran has had considerable experience in the meat business, and withal, is a courteous and efficient employe. Mr. Hawkins will undoubtedly make a big success of his present venture in the local meat market field, as his record while here prev- iously was of the best. e ———————— THE NORTHOME BASEBALL TEAM IS AGAIN A WINNER Defeated Tenstrike Sunday; Score, 810 7.--Has Not Lost a Game This Season, Northome, Minn., -Aug. 27th.— (Special to the Pioneer.)—In a very interesting and stubbornly contested game of ball the Northome team defeated a “framed-up” aggregation of ball tossers purported to be from Tenstrike, on the local diamond Sunday afternoon, by a score of 8 to 7. The Tenstrike team was com- posed ot the best players from all the towns along the line that have met defeat at the hands of the local team and came determined to hand the Northome team its first defeat of the season, but failed to accom- plish it, and thus the locals still have their first game to loose. Scribner,who has pitched winning ball for the locals all season, was on the firing line for the home team and pitched a good game, but was given poor support at various times during the game. Kirkpatrick pitched a fine ball for Tenstrike and was given good support throughout the entire game. The game belonged to Tenstrike up to the eight inning when the score stood 7 to 1 in favor of the visitors. Heavy hitting and good base run- ning by the locals in the last two innings, however, won the game for the home team. The score by innings: 7 Tenstrike...0 12000 1 3 0—7 Northome...0 010000 5 2—8 Batteries—Northome, Scribner and Oman; Tenstrike, Kirkpatrick and Cronk, Impressed with Bemidji. George W. Exstrand of St. Paul a brother of C. T. Extrand of this city, arrived in the city last evening and will remain here for a visit of several days. Mr. Eckstrand is discount teller of the Merchants National Bank of St. Paul, and a business man of no little discernment and shrewd- ness. He is being shown about the city by his brother and J. D. Lunn and others of this city, and is much impressed with the go-ahead air which sticks out all over Bemidji. Local news on last page Need "attention. It will cost you less now than after awhile.
