The candidacy of A.Kaiser of Bagley as delegate from the Ninth Congressional District to the Republican. convention is being re- ceived very favorably from all parts of the district. It is argued that Mr. Kaiser has been a‘life-long republican, and has never a ked any favor at the hands i of the party, and that he should be given the chance to represent his | district at the national convention. For several years Mr. Kaiser |owned and conducted the “Thirteen ’Iowns,” a newspaper published at Fosston. During Mr. Kaiser’s “Thirteen Towns” was aggressively republican and did much goed for the party throughout the Ninth District. Mr. Kaiser owned the “Thirteen Towns” when populism took a strong grip on the Ninth district and there was a landslide that engulfed every republican candidate for office in Polk county. This wasin 1890, and for a number of years after that, running for office in Polk county on the republican ticket was a joke— you couldn’t be elected. However, Mr. Kaiser and some of his associ- ates stuck steadfastly to the party, and brought disorder in the ranks of the populists at a time when a number of men, now high in the republican party of this district, were flirting with the populists and threatening to go over, bag and baggage, to the enemy. Since that time there has been’ much change in the Ninth district, and the fact that the republican party is again in power in the Ninth is due in a great measure to the work done by Mr. Kaiser and his associates. other laws within the jurisdiction of —J. BISIAR; i comjetitor, county ani state news, tising space brings larger returns. Thé republicans ‘of cb"e Ninth' dis trict owe it to Mr. Kai§er\ that he is chosen as a delegate’ from the vention. * additional local mattér will be found on fourth ‘page. BAND AND ORGRESTRA CONGERT WAS VERY 600D Crowd at Last Night's Entertainment| i " Was Small en Account of Cold Weather. ‘The Bemidji band and orchestra gave a very successful concert at the city hall last evening, before a dis- appointingly small crowd, the size of { which was undoubtedly due to the | extremely cold weather. From a musical standpoint, how- ever, the concert was a huge success the members of both the band and the orchestra acquitting themselves with honors, the various numbers on the program being very well received. The regular program, as previously announced, was carried out, with one excption, that being the vocal solo which was to have been given by Mr. Rood. The latter failed to pat in an appearance, and the number was of necessity omitted from the program. Otherwise, the program was pro- duced, as follows: ORCHESTRA. March—"Arabia” ...

In the report made by Mr. Wold, a table has been prepared showing the loss and gain in butter produc- tions between 1904 and 1906. All of the counties mentioned in the table are in the southern part of the state, except Beltrami, Morrison and Mille Lacs. This table shows that there was a gain in butter production in Bel- trami county of 561,600. The abpve figures show to what extent “bossie” is the boss money- earner on the farm, and is an ex- pressive argument in favor of dairy- ing in the north country.

Edward Fandrie, who is undoubt- edly the champion middleweight fighter of the northwest, is in Be- midji, resting here for two days, prior to engaging in a bout at Fargo | Thursday evening, with “Dutch” Johnson, a heavyweight pugilist of Minneapolis. The fight at Fargo is for $100 a side and gate receipts. The “go” will be for twenty rounds, and al- “KID” FANDRIE. though Johnson weighs twenty-nine pounds more than Fandrie, the lat- ter is a very hard hitter, and is con- fident that he will put the “Mill City” man away within the twenty rounds. The fight will be under the auspices of the Eagles. Fandrie has been putting up some exceptionally good fights, during the past six months, and he has knocked out everyone of his mén, in short order. He was to have fought Rudolph | p: Hines of Culbertson, Mont., at Wil liston, N. D., on the 25th inst., but although Hines had posted a for- feit of $50 that he would appear in the ring, he failed to show up, and Fandrie was given the for- feit. The most important fight,perhaps, of Fandrie’s career will be pulled off in the near future, when he will meet the famous “Billy” Rhoades, well known in Bemidji, at Culbert- son, Montana. The fight will go twenty rounds, and is for a sub- stantial purse and a side bet of considerable proportions. Rhoades is a fast and clever pugilist and possesses a hard “wallop” in either “mitt,” but Fandrie’s friends believe that the latter will put him away. Fandrie leaves in the morning for Fargo, for his fight with“Dutch” Johnson. Fandrie Married. Edward Fandrie was married, on Monday, by Justice M. G. Slocum, when he took for his life partner, Miss Mable Ward. Friends of the couple are congratulating them on their venture in matrimony. Announcement to Candidates. The Pioneer will print the an- nouncements of candidates for the forthcoming city election at the uni- form rate of 5 cents per line, each insertion, with favors to nome, and payable stiictly in-advance.
