HENRY LOGAN TELLS OF LIFE IN LUMBER CAMPS Some of the Husky Artists of the Tall Pines Are Matrimonally Inclined. Henry Logan, who is traveling representative for the Benedictine Sisters’ hospital, has consented to furnish the Pioneer, from time to time, interesting articles concerning the doings among the lumberjacks who frequent the camps of the north country which he visits. Mr. Logan returned yesterday from an extended visit in the coun- try north of Bemidji, and he hands the Pioneer the following: Bemidji, Nuv 22: “I have taken in the camps in the lumbering districts, and I have vis- ited every camp northwest of Bemid- ji. T have seen to it that the men in the camps are well supplied with hospital tickets, good at the Bene- dictine Sisters’ hospital, which are the best protection in the state. “I note that the lumber compan- ies in this territory haye the best- equipped camps I have ever seen, and I have put in thirty-five yearsin the lumbering regions of Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. The camps are large, well ventilated, and are well supplied with literature, consisting of magazines, daily and weekly papers, and many books that are the very best. And the grub set on these tables would make a $2-a- day hotel look to me like a soup house. “I walked from Big Falls to J. A. Irvine’s camp at Pine Island and visited with the boys there. The Pine Island camp is certainly a credit to the lumbering region. They feed and house 140 working men, and there is plenty of room and comfort for every one that works in the camp. “I visited the Grand Forks Lum- ber company’s headquarters camp. When I came in sight of their camp I thought I was lost and had re- turned to Blackduck or Kelliher. These camps are certainly the finest I have ever seen. P. Sullivan is looking after the Grand Forks Lum- ber company’s interests in that sec- tion, and Alexander McIntosh is foreman of the headquarters camp. There is room there for 150 men and their chefs. It is certainly a “world-beater.” The boys say their chef can ‘make seven kinds of cake out of the same dough. “During my travels through the camps in my territory, I found Schneider Bros. and “Best Ever’ have ever had in boy: Also $6 50, $7.00 and $8.50 all colors and models, Clothing House Just by way of emphasis we've decided Children’s Clothing Depart- ~ ment an extra ,,;-boom by placing on sale for { exght days only our entlre \ line of boys’ \ Suits and Overcoats.

I would advise the women in this territory to select a helpmeet from the L. Regan camp, for the boys there are strong and healthy and far superior to the cigarette smokers you get around these towns and cities I will leave the number of the camp with the editor 3 the Bemidji Pioneer, so that the ladies can correspond with the boys. “R. McNichols and M. J. Enright of East Grand Forks have been hunting from the Grand Forks lumber camps, over which Pat Sullivan has jurisdiction. McNichols and Enright have been having great luck. They killed one moose and three deer and a goodly number of birds and rabbits, and they are having the time of their lives wnhl their Enends in the camps.” Where Is Van's Dog?

The finder will confer a big favor by notifying Charles Vanderluis, the commercial traveler, whose night address is Bemidji, Minnesota. Train Late; Freight Wreck. The G. N. east-bound night pas- city at 12:48, was an hour late ar- riving in this city last night. The cause of the aelay was a freight train wreck near Tilden, a station a few miles east of Crookston. Sev- eral of the cors of the freight train were ditched and it took some time to straighten out the wreck and make a clear p:ésa.ge through. An ocean of .candy at Peterson’s. HIGH PRESSURE GUN IS - HUMANE FOR BI6 GAME Success of 1907 Hunters Due Some- what to Soft-Nosed Bullets and Modern Powder. With the modern high’ pressure powder, soft-nosed bullets and guns that make a bee line up to three-quarters of a mile, it .is no wonder that the slaughter of big game this year ha®® been phenome- nal,” said a well-known deer hunter yesterday, who brought back from the north shore woods his full quota of big game. “It is not so much the overabund- ance of big game this year, although I will admit that there is more than for some time past, as it is the fact that nearly every. hunter who goes out is equipped in -such.a manner that it is almost impossible for him to come back without game. That is, providing he.is any kind of a shot at all. Once a deer or moose is hit with the bullet from the mod- ern rifle, it is all over with. him. The soft-nosed bullets -do . the busi- ness, and the high-pressure powder gives a velocity and power which certainly leaves its mark upon the carcasses. “We hear very few tales now-a- days of trailing injured game for miles and miles by the blood stains and finally killing with the knife. In a measure the new weapons and new ideas of sportsmanship are | humane, for they spare the unfortun- ate denizens of the forest much pain and misery which was caused by the old style bullets and low pressure 'powder.”—-Duluth News- Tribune. the use of the new weapons, but in the matter of game being killed this season is misleading. Owing to the extreme dryness of the woods and absence of “tracking” snow, not many deer or moose have been killed in the territory adjacent to Bemidji. ; Fruh oysters, fresh eggs, fresh senger train passing through this!

Clark Authority for State-|forest.” ment.—Says, However, Mill Will Not Be Dismantied. Hovey C. Clarke of the Crookston Lumber company passed through the city this morning and made the the following statement to the Jour- nal, the first authoritive statement {regarding the future of the Crooks-| |ton sawmill which is the first one that has been published. “The Crookston sawmill will not be operated next year. It will not be dismantled however, by any means, and will be operated later. You may state definitely, however, that the mill will not be operated next year. The planer will continue in operation.” While it will be learned with re- zret that the mill will not be | run next year, it is not surprising. There has been an over supply of lumber manufactured and it is not good business policy to continue the over production.—Crookston Jour- nal. The above is all well and good; but it is certain that the Crookston mill will not be operated much longer, as there is a lack of “raw material” adjacent to that city with which to operate the mill. The plant is needed in this vicinity for the purpose of cutting the large hold- ings of pine which the Crookston company owns in Beltrami, Hubbard, Cass, Itasca and Koockiching coun- ties. Got a Moose. C. W. Newbury, the land man who lives at Crookston, came down this morning from a huating trip along the Tamarac river. Mr. Newbury was in company with Charles Hughes, who is one of the best guides in the north country. | Mr. Newbury brought a moose down with him, which will be shipped to Crookston and exhibited to New- Peterson’s. INDIANS WANT GHANGE IN Chiefs of the Red Lake Tribe Held a Conference With Congressman Steenerson. Crookston, Journal: Two of the leading chiefs of the Red Lake tribe of Indians, Chief Gay-Bay-No-Ding, the head chief, and Chief Nay-Ai- Tah-Wube, a minor chief, arrived in the city last evening from the reser- vation, accompanied by Interpreter Nathan J. Head and spent the day in conference with Congressman Steenerson regarding some changes in the laws governing the disposal of their lands, and the laws regarding allotments and the sale of timber lands and discuss matters generally. The Indians have every confi- dence in Congressman Steenerson, who was adopted into théir tribe some time ago with great ceremony. They feel that they are entitled to still more liberal laws. It is claimed that the Indians are coming to realize more and more the value of money and the transient trader sharks find them less easy to victim- ize by worthless colored baubles. The Indians received a payment | from the government last week and | are generally in very good shape for the winter. This afternoon the two chiefs with their interpreter have been sight seeing about Crookston and the Indians are both dignified in appear- ance and evidently realize their tribal importance. - They display great interest in what they have seen in Crookston.

THOMAS JOHNSON Had Been Unconscious Since Last Sunday Noon. i | | Thomas Johnson, the contractor, idied last evening at 7:30 o’clock, lafter an illness lasting only four { days. Mrs. Johnson was taken very ill | on Sunday and at noon of that day became unconscious and has - re- mained in that condition ever since. All that human agencies could per- form was done to relieve Mrs. John- son, but she sank gradually until death relieved her sufferings last evening. Arrangements have not been com- pleted for the time of her funeral, as Mr. Johnson is in communication with relatives, ascertaining when they can be present. Besides her husband, Mrs. John- son is survived by five children. Mrs. Johnson’s maiden name was Bertha Hagen. She was born in Norway on Feb, 9, 1876. She came to America in 1896. 'She came to Bemidji about ten years ago and, on Oct. 6, 1900, was married to Thomas Johnson. Mrs. Johnson was a_ prominent member of the Bemidji Scandinavian Lutheran church, and many people who live 1n this city have reaséh to remember her many kind deeds. The sympathy of the entire com- munity is extended to the father and motherless children in their hour of sorrow. Naval oranges in at Petersoh’s. Chimney Sweep in Town.
