HAZEN MAKING YIGOROUS CAMPAIGN FOR SHERIFF Is Receiving Much Encouragement for the Republican Nnmination.— Is Hustling Votes. A. B. Hazen (whom everybody in Beltrami county knows as “Al”) has announced his candidacy for the re- B. HAZEN publican nomination for sheriff of tbls county——and Mr. Hazen has The program of the exercises were given as published below. Prof. Ritchie presented the diplomas to the mémbers of the class, and in a few well-chosen words complimented the scholars on their most excellent work during the past year and also urged them to already received a whole lol of en- couragement. Mr. Hazen ran for sheriff in the general election against Thomas Bailey, two years ago, and ke made a great fight, despite many gbstacles which would have disheartened most ordinary men, His run was such a phenominal one, and he has received so many encouraging assurances of support if he will be a candidate again, that he has decided to enter the field for the republican nomina- nation for sheriff. These requests have been so strong and' of so frequent reiteration that Mr. Hazen has come to the conclusion that he can be elected sheriff this fall, hence his announced candidacy. A. B. Hazen came to Bemidji when this city was but a “babe,” as it were, there being but few white settlers in the community 'at that time. Mr. Hazen has “grdwn up” with Bemidji and has been closely - |identified with every progressive movement for the benefit of the city and county at large. He hasa splendid insight into the public affairs of the county and, if elected to'the office, will undoubtedly make agood sheriff. He possesses all the qualifications for a first-class sheriff, EIGHTH GRADE COMMENCEMENT. The commencement exercises for the Eighth grade of the Bemidji city schools were held in the city hall last evening, and the hall was crowded to its utmost by the parents of the scholars of the schools Prof. A. P. Ritchie, superintendent of the Bemidji city schools presided and the members of the school board were present in the audience. The class roll consisted of thirty-two bright boys and girls, who are a credit to the schools of the PROGRAM EIGHTH GRADE CLASS ROLL. Chorus, Fleeting Days - - - Bailey iy Invocation - - - - Rev.

Mr. Hazen is a strong republican and has always labored for the wel- fare of the party and he is deserving of consideration at the hands of the republicans in the selection of cand1~ dates of the party for sheriff. May Have Biue Lodge at “‘Falls.” William P. Roberts of St. Paul, 4 grand commander of the Minnesota grard lodge of Masons, was at International T'alls Tuesday, look- ing over that place to form an opinion as to whether the applica- tion of «‘Falls” Masons for a dis- pensation to institute a blue lodge there was worthy of favorable con- sideration. It is understood that the grand master was very favor- ably impressed, and it is more than likely that the dispensation will be granted. A Correction. Inadvertantly we unintention- ally failed to mention the name of Mrs, Carver in the card of thanks published in the Pioneer yesterday. Mrs. Carver did much for which we are sincerely thankful. L. F. Johnson and family, The members of the Bemidji Jockey Club have finally decided that they will surely hold the pro- posed race meet in this city on June 20-21, in conjunction with the fourth annual meeting of the state Associa- tion of Elks, which meets here June 18-19-20, The Jockey club is planning for an elaborate program of races and already the promoters are assured of the speediest “goers” in the state. The program for the first day, June 20, includes the 2:22-class trot or pace, and the 3-minute class trot or pace. g On June 21 there will be a 2:28- class trot or pace and a free-for-all trot or pace. It is probable—that some running races will also be placed on the pro- gram both days. The last day of the races will undoubtedly see the state half-mile track record shattered as the dis- tance flag will be waved in the free for-all trot or pace and “Prince Hal” whose record is 2:0634, will be sent for a record-breaking mile heat. As the horse is in splendid condition the residents of this vicinity will undoubtedly see one of the fastest THE JOCKEY CLUB DECIDE - TO HOLD THE RACING MEET Some of Speediest Horses in Northwest Will Contest for Supremacy June 20-21,— “Little Jim” in Free-for-All “Prince Hal” and miles ever pulled ‘off in the north- west, as Bemidji undoubtedly pos- sesses the best half-mile track in Minnesota. There will be a good attendance of fast horses at this meet, among which will be “Little Jim,” the fast Hibbing pacer, who is the general favorite here. “Little Jim” will be driven by “Bob” Cherry, who is really about as much of an attrac- tion as his noted little horse. There will other horses here fast enough to give the two speedy ones a close race. The races will be called at 1:30 in the afternoon, so as not to interfere with the ball game which will prob- ably be played on those dates, al- though no game is at present sched- uled for Saturday, the 20th. It is the intention of the promotors of the horse races to induce the M. &I railway company to run a special train from International Falls to Bemidji. This could be easily done if the company were willing as the regular passenger train lays over Sunday at International Falls and could be run on its regular weekly schedule to this place and back to the “Falls.” P FIRST WEEK-END TRAIN . WILL BE RUN TONIGHT Train Will Start from St. Paul at 6.10.---Arrive Bemidji 3:40 in‘Morning. The initial week-end train from St.” Paul to International Falls will be run out of St., Paul this evening and will reach the ¢Falls” tomorrow morning, The train is run Friday night this week on account of Saturday being Decoration day and the officials of the N. P.and M. & L. railways believed that many of the twin city residents would like to go to some of the north-country towns to spend the day. Hereafter. the train will be run from St. Paul on Saturday even- ings, at 6:30, returning from Inter- national Falls Sunday evenings, leaving the border town at 7:30 p. m. Under the schedule, the train is due to arrive in Bemidji at 3:40 tomorrow morning, and it is hoped that the hotelkeepers of the city will be on hand to meet the train and care for any passengers who may come this way. Owing to the fact that the weather has been abomniable for the past four days, it is not thought that many will come on this first train, but it is believed that it the attractions are adver- tised fully, many twin city people will take advantage of the oppor- tunity offered hereafter of spend- ing a day among the lakes of the north half of the state.
