The Crookston and Bemidji Lum-| ber companies began operations in the local sawmills yesterday morning, and will soon be running steadily; and the hoarse announce- ments from the throats of the big whistles on the two plants is a welcome sound to residents of this place, as it announces the begin- ning of an active season of work of the principal industries in this community. Both comparies raun their mills temporarily on Tuesday and tried out their machinery, preparatory to beginning the season’s work yesterday. Everything moved along nicely and the machinery gave entire satisfaction, indicating that the repairing done during the win- ter had the desired result. This season’s work has been commenced three days later than the time the Crookston mill started last year, which was on the 28 of March. The Bemidji Lumber company is a newly-organized concern, the mill having been erecting here last fall, and thisis their initial season of operating here. It is the intention of those in con- trol of the two mills to run only one ten-hour shift (days) during the summer. This leaves the laboring men in this vicinity in about the same condition as last year, so far as securing work is concerned, since the Crookston company ran both a night and day shift then, and now each mill is using only one shift. The Crookston Lumber company has about 130 men working in the sawmill and seventy in the planer, and the Bemidji mill is running with about 100 men. When these em- ployes are paid, considerable money is brought into the city, and the prosperity of the community is materially increased, thereby. The following are the heads in various departments of the two mills: In the Crookston mill, E. H. Dea is superintendent; Knute Nelson, fore- man of the sawmill; John Weinam, chief engineer; Andy Larson, head millwright; John Coleman, foreman of planing mill, and James Foss, shipping clerk. For the Bemidji company W. A. Gould is treasurer and manager; J. M. Richards, secretary; V. .R. Method, superintendent of sawmill. All of the above men are experi- enced and unsually efficient along their respective lines. The Bemidji Lumber company is receiving about ten carloads of logs every day by rail from the vicinity of Northome. JUDIGIAL BANQTET WAS SUGGESSFUL AFFAIR Continued from First Page Clenahan, said the speaker, administered well. have Mec- and who wished that Judge Spooner would retire from the bench. The two judges of the Fif- teenth Judicial district were con- sidered as being among the best, if not the very best, judges in the state. Lawyers in other districts, who have practiced here, were unani- mous in their complimentary re- marks and expressions of sur- prise that the district possessed such splendid jurists; and the home law- yers were of the same opinion No other person could equal a lawyer in reasoning power. When a judge states on the bench his reasons for ruling, you listen to his reasoning and can determine the conditions of his mind. When the bar as a unit Senator Carthy has heard of no one, knew of none, make pronouncement that the bench of this district is unequaled in the state, you can depend on the asser- tion that the stands among the best. Senator McCarthy spoke very earnestly concerning the attempt that has been made in the legisla- ture to secure larger salaries for the judges of this district, and asserted that it was a shame that learned men who sat on the bench listened to lawyers who were receiving much more money for their services than the judges. He was not surprised that an energetic young man should quit the bench for the bar, under such conditions. In closing, Senator McCarthy said that the intended departure of J udée Spooner was regretted by the bar and the people alike. He could only say that he hoped that in the new field the judge would take the strong position he should at the bar in the state of Washington, and he would not be greatly surprised if the judge would some day be elected to serve on the federal bench, a fitting com- judge now retiring BUY A GOOD LOT With the growth of Bemidji good lots scarcer and scarcer. are becoming - We still have a number of good lots in the residence part of town which will be sold on easy terms.

He knew that in his halt. ing way he could not fully express the wishes of the bar, himself, and the people generally, but that one who possessed so sound a mind as did Judge Spooner would fully ap- preciate the situation. The next toast on the program was “‘Should Old Acquaintance Be Forgot,” which had been assigned to Judge Spooner, as a farewell talk to the members of the bar and others present at the banquet. When the judge arose to speak, there was a sign of dimness in his eyes and a suspicion of huskiness in his voice. He was greeted with pro- longed applause, attesting his im- mense popularity among the mem- bers of the bar. Judge Spooner stated that he had been given but little time to prepare any speech, but 'that he knew of no more fitting subject than the sug- gested one, ‘“‘Should -Old Acquaint- ance Be Forgot.”} “Old” used in a comparative sense in connection with the Fif- teenth Judicial district seemed rather odd. It had only been six years, on April 1, that he had made his advent in this district. At that time, outside of Judge Mc- Clenahan, he had not known more than six people in the entire dis- trict, and only four of these six were present at the banquet, they being, Messrs. McDonald, Fisk, Gibbons and Stanton. “Old acquaintance,” after a lapse of five years, seemed peculiar. The speaker had known Mr. Fisk for the past twenty-fiye years. He knew the others later, although their acquaintance ~dated back fifteen years. During the past five years great progress has been made in northern Minresota. When the judge came to the district there were few practicing attorneys in the district. The five years that have elasped have been so progressive in char- acter in this district as to equal many terms of years -in a well- sattled community. During that time the bar of the Fifteenth district had made such progress that the speaker would willingly set it against any other bar in the state of Minnesota. “Go to the city,” said the speaker, “and pick out the four best lawyers there. They began in the country. The best Jawyers came from the country. Young lawyers in - thé country study hard and rely on themselves while the young men in the city mostly rely on others. The best of the good lawyers began in the country, by relying on them- selves. Judge Spoooner stated that he was proud of the voung lawyers in this district, and he commended them to learn the law thoroughly when they were young. He could not say too much in favor of the young lawyers in this district; they were workers. Judge Spooner said he appreciated the esteem and confidence the bar had displayed toward him. The last five years of his life have been the most satisfactery in his exist- ance. At times his duties seemed very weighty. No time would ever come when the joy and happiness experienced in his work among the bar of the Fifteenth judicial district would be forgotten. There had not been any time in which he had not felt that he was under obligations to the county officials in the district for their many acts of kindness and courtesies to- ward him, The speaker stated that in again taking his place among the ranks of the bar he had no regret except that he was sorry that he was going to remove from among those present at the banquet. He was delighted to lay aside his official position and re- sume the practice of law. “Never, so long as-life shall last, shall I forget this demonstration of regret and respect on the part of you gentlemen assembled here' to- night. I thank you again most heartilly for this expression.” When the Judge resummed his seat the applause was -defening and the speaker was very much affected. E. E. McDonald responded to the toast, “His Successor.” According to Mr. McDonald, it was possible that when the toastmaster alotted to him the toast of “His Successor” he -(Mr. McKusick) was not aware as to who would be named as a succes- sor to Judge Spooner. Those who had not been a candidate as successor to Judge Spooner are not in a posi- tion to say who would be judge and all could not have their opinions affirmed. In speaking of the bar of the Fif- teenth judicial district: Mr. Mc- Donald believed that were it not for the fact that the election of Supreme Court justice was deferred, it would be possible that a banquet might in the near future be tendered the Honorable Judge McClenahan, who would be on his way to supreme court. Mr. McDonald stated that he had known Mr. Stanton many years, and the speaker related an amusing inci- dent of the liberality of the successor to Judge Spooner. Mr. Stanton, as judge of probate court, issued a de- cree whereby four children were each to receive one-third of an estate. He believed, from this incident, that the new judge would be liberal and fair in his findings. Mr.- McDonald believed that most of the city lawyers began their life in the country, the same as Mr. Stanton. He remember Judge Stan- ton as clerk in the office of Attorney General Young, and that Judge Stanton was at that time judge of probate; but despite the fact that he was employed by the attorney gen- eral, he often ruled against that gentleman, - which showed that he was always fearless and fair. Mr. McDonald retold the Russell Sage litigation, in which Mr. Stanton took an important part, and also his mov- ing to St. Paul and thence to Inter- national Falls. He stated that Judge Stanton would bring to the bench a well-balanced mind and hon- esty of purpose. Mr. McDonald said he could as- sure the judge the Same loyalty from the bar as had been given his pre- deccessor, and that he could always remember that the bar stood ready to support him in every act. At the conclusion of Mr. McDon- ald’s speech, the oath of office was administered to Mr. Stanton, by Judge Spooner, and as the latter grasped the hand of the former in warm congratulations, the applause was deafening. Judge Stanton was called upon to respond. to “My First Opinion,” jand his response was given with such fervor and splendid force that he at once made a hit with all those pres- ent. Judge Stanton was exceeding de- sirous that his first opinion should stand for all time, without change or modification, and this opinion was that the Fifteenth Judicial dis- trict would.never have a 'more pains- taking, more loyal, more com- petent judge than the retiring judge, Marshall A, .Spooner. % 9 The speaker joined in ' the regret that Judge Spooner had deemed it|- for the best that he (Judge Spooner) should retire. He had known Judge Spooner- for the past twenty’ years, The judge during all that time had been known and recognized as a lawyer.. of splendid ability, and a man of superior attainments. He congratulated the city of Spokane in acquiring so conspicuous an addition to .its already brilliant bar.. The Fifteenth Judicial district sustains a great loss; and the sentiment ex- pressed by those present was the universal sentiment of the whole people of the district. Mr. Stanton wished that Judge Spooner’s hopes of success in his new. field would be far surpassed, and that he would have a brilliant future. = As Judge Spooner’s successor, Judge Stanton said he was not un- mindful of the great responsibilities attending the position. - While real- izing the full import of the situation 'he requested the indulgence, co-oper- ation and assistance of the attorneys present. ‘“The bar makes the judge, not the judge makes the bar,” de- clared the speaker. He was keenly conscious, and would try to emulate his brilliant predecessor, and main- tain the high standard set by him. “I thank you for this hearty wel- come,” said Judge Stanton. “I shall start with a determination to do everything possible to perform my :duties impartially and intelli- gently.” association and G. M. Torrance of this city was elected secretary. President McKusick was author- ized to appoint a committe of one from each of the eight counties in the district, which ‘ committee will prepare the constitution and by laws and necessary articles. It is the unanimous decision of the attorneys that the first meet- ing of the new district bar associa- tion will be held in Bemidji in the month .of . July, the exact date of which was to be decided later. Extended Thanks. Bemidji, April 2, To The Bemidji Pioneer: - Gentlemen—Through the columns of your paper I would like to thank the members of the Bar association for the courtesy extended to me, by an invitation from Mr. E. E. Mc- Donald, to attend the banquet given Judge Spooner, last evening, at Hotel Markham. ; 3 It is true'that I could have read, through the columns of your paper, what was said, but to be present, and listen to the words of love, and watch the expressions of sincerity on the faces of those delivering the many fitting remarks, to-me was something grand. Those giving the banquet I am sure will never regret, and am satisfied the judge will never forget it. Gentlemen, now is the time to carry flowers to, and tell, those that are dear to you that you love them. —J. H. Beagle. Services at Baptist Church.

After the crowd had dispensed from the banquet last evening, the members of the bar of the Fifteenth judicial district, who were present, discussed the advisability of organ- izing a district bar association for the Fifteenth judicial district. It was decided to form a temporary organization and appoint a com- mittee on constitution and by-laws, and draw up the necessary articles.

I had heartburn, bloat- ing after eating, gas on stomach and bowels, palpitation of the heart, pain| in the lower part of my back, and varjous other symptoms, and was a victim of much distress.
