The date was not) fixed, but it probably will be some time in the latter part of Febru-| ary or early part of March. i At present, the men employed by | | the commission are little wcq\nmted\ with each other, and it is thought that a meeting at which they could all get together and offer sugges- tions and give their impressions | with reference to any particular features of the work would be of mutual benefit. No definite plans been made as yet the meeting, but it is probable that papers on certain phases of the work of the game wardens will be read, which will be followed by discussions in which all will parti- | cipate. ‘The commission also decided toi order the fish car, mauufac- | tured in Chicago last summer for the commission, shipped to St. Paul. The spur track which was to be built by the Burlington running up to the fish hatchery below the Indian Mounds Park has not been put in yet, and while this will make it less convenient for loading the | car it is needed and will be put into commission as soon as received. The old officers of the board were re-elected as follows: O. E.JohnSon, Glenwood, president; John H. Grill, have for new Sherburn, first vice president; C.

Lee Heffron, manager of the “Big Bemidg” . basketball team, has received the line-up of the Duluth Y. M. C. A. basketball team, which will play against the iocal team in this city next Friday evening.” In the letter to Mr. Heffron, Earnest G. Morse, manager of the Duluth team, says: “We shall be on hand next Friday night, sure.” The line-up of our team as near as we can now tell, will be as follows: “Ballou and McLean, forwards; Dinham, center; Skelton and Smith, guards. “We have won the following vic- tories this winter: Y. M. C. A,, 76, Company C, 3; Y. M. C. A, 109, Lincoln Park, 8; Y. M. C. A., 66, Nelson-Dewey, 20; Y. M. C. A., 44, All-Stars, 13.” The above scores would indicate that the Duluth V. M. C. A. team is a very fast bunch. The Bemidji team will line up as follows: H. Geil and J. Markham, forwards; Brown, center; Peterson and Collins or Biddinger, guards. Can Be Made to Pay for Paper. | On Manday three was a case in Justice Cutting’s court which we deem worthy of mention, not with a view of giving publicity to what might be called a private affair, but fol che instruction and information of the newspaper patroons who thiuk they can continue to receive, read and obtain the benefits of a paper for time either long or short and evade payment for same. The case was one brought against Julius Doo- | little by Mrs. Adams, former publish- er of the Times, who claimed $10 due her on subscription account for 11 years, one year of which had been paid. Mr. Doolittle set up the claim that he never subscribed for the Times but that soon after the paper was bought by Mr. and Mrs. Adams, his father ‘'on his own motion paid a dollar for one year’s subscription to his address, and that the paper was continued hereafter without author- ity. paper from office and received its benefits. Trial was had to a jury which took but little time to render a verdict giving Mrs. Adams judg- ment for the full amount of her claim with interest and costs.—Cresco (Iowa) Plaindealer. THE REVENUE COLLEGTOR INVENTORING FAGTORIES Guy A. Aubole Takes Stock Cigar and Tobacco Factories Located in His District. Guy A. Aubole of Crookston, de- puty revenue collector for this dis- trict of Minnesota, was an official visitor in Bemidji today. Mr. Aubole has just completed taking inventory of all cigar factories and tobacco factories in the district upon the order of the inter- nal reveuue officials. The orders received by Mr. Aubole were to complete taking Jin- ventory of all factories before Jan- uary 20th. There : are twenty-four cigar factories and two tobacco fac- tories in the district. As these - fac- tories are scattered over a wide terri- tory, the task of completing the in- ventory of each before January 20th; was a difficult one;’but Mr. Aubole “hustled”, and finished his work within the time prescribed m the order. Mr. Aubole. states that. he was obliged to cover some 2,000 miles in traveling over the territory covered by the factories, and that he was at his- home* in Crookston but once since he commenced the inventoxies | Mdnionll local matter wnll be !ouM on fourth page.

Thaw reached the story of Thaw's at- tempt to take his life by drinking a bottle of laudanum at Monte Carlo in 1004. Rarlier in that ‘year he had threatened to do the same thing in New York and had wanted her to join him. She humored. him and diverted. ‘his attention. .When he swallowed the. poison at Monte Carlo he was alone. Physiolsns worked over him all night.. and saved his life. IS CROWDED| huvn bad no | GREAMERY ASSOGIATION AT BAGLEY A SUGGESS Reports at Annual Meeting Held Yester- ery, Were Very Flattering.-tireat Dairy Country. Bagley, Jan. 21.—(Special to Pio- neer.)—The Clearwater County Creamery association held its annual meeting yesterday. The secretary’s report showed that there had been nearly $6000 taken in for butter during the six months beginning with the latter part of June. E. H. Reff was elected president; H. Pehrson, vice president; H.C. Peterson, secretary; B. T. Sorenson, treasurer; J. H. Sommervold, mana- ger; C. Sorenson, S. Eliason and B. E. Grinde, directors. About forty shareholders were present at the meeting. Much satisfaction was shown, and the condition of the association showed that business had been conducted on an economical, yet sound basis. The year 1908 promises to be a banner dairy era for Clearwater county, and it is the universal opin- ion that the output of butter will be at least. double what it was 1907. N. P. Jensen was re-hired as buttermaker, and it was unanimously conceded that he has been a first- class man for the position he holds. Mr. Jensen has bought a farm three mlles from Bagley, where he will make his home in the future, | Itis estimated that the butter- sold in the four creameries in 'Clearwater county for the year 1907, brought to the farmers $25,000. in Fine Masquerade Dance.

Purchased New Bank. F. P. Sheldon, formerly of this city, and president of the - First National Bank of this city and of numerous other banks in the north country, came up - from Minneapolis Monday to attend the annual meet- ing of the First National Bank of this place. 4 In an interview with the Inde- pendent, Mr. Sheldon stated that he had purchased of-the Backus- Brooks people the First National Bank at lnternational Falls, and that this recent acquisition was age in the capital city of Kooch- 1 Guerade ball that wis given ‘at ‘the] soon to be merged with the First State Bank -of International Falls, which has been. owned by Mr. Sheldon and his associates, and known as the First National. G. N. Millard, at one _time a resi- dent of this city, who has been cash- ier of the First State Bank of the border city, will be cashier of the new institution, and Mr. Sheldon is tobe president.. This will give the Sheldon line of banks a great advant- iching county, even should competi- tion again encroach on them there.— Grand Rapids Independent. . Mr. Sheldon is well known in Be- midji, being president of the First National bank of this city. Art Kirsch’s Troublesome Toe. Arthur Kirsch, one of the clerks of the postoffice, is laid up at the present -time with what threatens! to be serious trouble.. Mr. Kirsch hurt his toe about two weeks ago| and it has bothered nim consider- | ably, the entire foot swelling up.J A short time ago the foot was lanced and the swelling went down | so that Mr. Kirsch -went back to work yesterday, but the irritation was evidently bad for the foot, for the swelling returned worse than ever and it was necessary to lance his leg last night. It is hoped that if he continues to keep indoors for a time the injury will be healed —Crookston Journal. Art Kirsch is well - known in Bemidji, and his local friends hope that nothing of a serious nature will result from his present trouble. Special Notice.

Squire’s Irish Terriers In Front Rank at the Dog Show in Minneapolis. W. H. Squier of Blackduck, today received a telegram- from Minne. apolis to the effect that his two Irish terriers, “Pat” and “Biddy,” had each been awarded first prize at the dog .show, which has been held at Minneapolis during the past week. “Pat” and “Biddy” are full-blood terriers. Mr. Squier brought . the dogs to the United States with him when he returned from a visit to Ireland, last September. The dogs were consideregd as being the very best pedigreed animals in the city of Dublin, and" it is no sur- prise that they won prizes at the bench show in Minneapolis. Shortly after the opening of ' the. afternoon: session the diréct. examina rthe witness turned’ oVer to District. Attorney Jerome for cross-examina-- tion. In the loudest veice at his cont, mand: the prosecutor, without mincing words, plunged immediately into tha. most . igtiate details of the tes mony. His manner brought fire in the, replies.of the witness, who ralsed her, voice involuntarily; Mr. Jerome probed into the young: woman’s ideas as to virtue and moral- ity at great length. After be had oon- cluded this line iof' examination he -Lmed in to interrdgate the witness a8 to her relations with White other than already testified to, when .Mr.; Littleton objeot ying he had been., allowed to ask the: witness only as to the story she told Thaw.

BAD FOR LOGGERS Roads Are Wearing Out and Operations in the Woods Are Seriously Menaced. The unreasonably mild weather yesterday put the finishing touches on the logging operations in many parts of northern Minnesota. The roads were so worn yesterday that it was necessary for the loggers to haul snow in many cases to patch up the sleighing, and now it is said that more snow must fall, or colder weather come, or the logging busi- ness will quickly be at a standstill. The loggers and the tie and cedar people are all experiencing the same trouble concerning the lack of snow. One tie dealer said yesterday that if the conditions for gétting the ties out of the woods do not improve soon the price of them will advance 30 per cent by spring. The unfavorable conditions for logging in many parts of northern Minnesota will work more harm than might have been expected earlier in the winter, for the reason that some of the loggers would like to increase their output beyond what they had planned in November. The lumber business is picking up and there has been a marked improvement since Jan. 1. In some instances the lumbermen would increase their log output 25 per cent more if they could without making the werk too difficult and expensive. But if the weather im- proves they will have time yet to make their increase, providing the spring breakup does not come ahead of time. The conditions have been very good until lately, but more snow is now needed badly. Since the aboye _was wntten, the editor of the Pioneer had a tnlk with Rev. Frank Higgins, the “lumber- jack sky pilot”, and the latter, this noon, agreed to use his influence with the celestial weather man who handles the atmospheric conditions under the sky pilot’s jurisdiction, for cold weather. _Since this petition was' made- by the sky pilot, a cold north wind _has started to blow, and we think that the loggers owe a vote of thanks to Rev Higgins." Barid Concert Date-Changed.. Professor Thomas Symington this forenoon announced that it had been decided to change the date of the band concert and dance to be given by the orchestra from Friday even- ing, January 24th to Tuesday January 28th, for the reason that a basketball game has been scheduled to be played at the- roller rink in this city on the 24th inst. The forthcoming concert promises to eclipse any yet given under the direction of Professor Symington. 0'’LEARY & BOWSER | 6 7 BEMIDJI, MINNRSQTA Just look at our Dry Goods window, then come ~in Wednesday morning and take your choice of any piece of Silk displayed,at - - - - 67 Cents a.
