VOLUME 6. NUMBER 39. » MAYOR POGUE AND OTHERS WILL REVIVE MARKET DAY The First Market Day Will Be Held June 13th, and on Every First and Last Saturday of Each Month Thereafter. Mayor Pogue and several others are promoting the revival of ‘‘Mar- ket Day” for Bemidji and the inten- tion is to hold “Market Day” every second and last Saturdays of each month during the present summer and comiug fall. The first “Market Day” will be held on Saturday, June 13, and dispite the prevelant ‘“hoodoo” whicb surrounds the 13, the promot- ers are assured of the success of the undertaking. The services of A. A.T. Wheelock “Buck” Wheelock “sellin’ things.” have been secured as auctioneer, and the genial “Buck” has agreed to sell things without renumeration of any kind, kindly donating his services absolutely free of charge. It is the intention of the mayor and his associates to provide three boxes, to be placed in the drug stores of the city, wherein every busi- ness man is expected ‘to deposit twenty-five cents, together with his name, for the purpose of defraying the expenses of the ‘““Market Day.” By this method the cost will be small to each individual and the names of the contributors will be published in the local papers, The farmers of the vicinity of Be. midji are especially urged to bring any live stock which they may want to sell, or in fact any article which they wish to dispose of. It is more than likely that the merhcants will make special prices on certain classes of goods on ‘“Market Day,” which will make it an object for the farmers to visit the city on “Market Day.” E. F. Kellogg will act as trea.surer for what little funds will be used in defraying the expenses of -“Market Day.” Concerning Tennis. » A. A. Andrews, who is promoting a tennis club for Bemidji, states that already sixteen players have been enrolled as members of the club, and that but four more players will be added to the roster, as it is the intention to limit the membership to twenty. A new court has been laid out, on Jrving avenue, where the members will practice and engage in playing games. It is the intention of Mr. Andrews and the other members of the club to hold a tournament here sometime during the summer. Pleasant Picnic. Rev. White and his Sunday School class of fifteen girls held a picnic yesterdey on Rocky Point. With the aid of a tender, Rev. White con- veyed his class up the lake in his launch, the “West Minister.” Although there were occasional showers yesterday, the girls remained for dinner and for supper, returning home about 9 o’clock inthe even- ing. All report a good time, in spite of the unfavorable weather. E. M. Stanton Here. E. M. Stanton, a former resident of Cass Lake who is now living at Thief River Falls, came in yester- day noon from his home. He spent Iyesterday afternoon and last night visiting with his son, Edwin, who is night clerk at the Markham hotel. Mr. Stanton is doing very well at Thief River Falls and his many friends in_this part of the state trust that his good fortune will continug.

THIS WEEK'S PROGRAM AT BRINKMAN IS BEST EVER New Song and Dance Comedians Mak- ing a Hit.—Other Features Are Very Good. Raymond & La Mont made one of the greatest hits of the season as singing and dancing comedians at the Brinkman _Family Theater last evening, and Manager Brinkman is certainly to be congratulated on se- curing the services of such talented artists for so small a city. - Miss Anna Hager did full justice to the beautifully illustrated song, “For The Red, White and Blue,” and was loudly applauded. The new films were excellent, each one being a new and decided novelty. Raymond and La Mont will ap- pear every night this week at the Brinkman Family Theater. If you likea good entertainment, do not miss the opportunity of seeing these artists. Will Return for Outing. A. W. Scott, a plumber of Minne- apolis, and Alex V. Ostrom, cashier of the Swedish National Bank of Minneapolis have broken camp on the island at Big Turtle Lake and returned to Minneapolis. They had been there for a week getting things into shape on the island for an out- ing to be taken later in the summer. It is the intention of the gentle- men to return in about two weeks and spend the balance of the summer on the island fishing and boating and generally enjoying the good things that may be had in the north country. Rev. J. P. Johnson, pastor of the Gethsemane Episcopal church of Minneapolis, who came from Minne- apolis with Messrs. Scott and Ostrom, returned to Minneapolis the latter part of last week. He will come back with the other two members of the party and spend his outing here with them. Estray Notice.

The funeral procession left the house at 2 o’clock and proceeded to the Congregational church, where an impressive service was held. The singing was beautiful, About 3:30 o’clock the procession left the church and moved to the cemetery. The band, militia, firemen and lawyers attended in a body. The procession was about a half mile long. Notice. All members of the Bemidji Club are requested to meet at the council rooms in the City Hall on the even- ing of Friday June Sth, at eight o’clock for the purpose of completing the organization of the club. MOSHER AND INGRAM ARE PREPARED FOR THE GLUB Will Be at Blackduck in August, Pre- pared for the Handcar Bunch Ceremonies. Curtis L. Mosher, secretary of the Minnesota State Federation of Com- mercial clubs, and W. R. Ingram, traffic manager at the South St. Paul Stockyards, have responded to the invitation extended to them to take the “Shollygoster” degree of the Blackduck Handcar Club, and -will come up from the Saintly City in August, prepared for the worst—or the winewurst, as the case may be. The two gentlemen visited Black- duck and Bemidji recently, and they were much impressed with the ex- treme popularity of the Handcar club members: they “bit,” and the consequences fall upon their own heads. In a private letter to the writer hereof, Mr. Mosher says: “My Dear ‘Doc’:—I see by the morning paper that Ingram and my- self have been slated for initiation by the Handcar Club during the annual outing in August. - Tell the boys for us that we will be there and ready to- participate in anything that looks right to them.” Yours very truly, Mosher. ) College Graduate Goes to Prison., 8an Francisco, June 8.—Four years in San Quentin prison was the sen- tence imposed by Judge Ogden of Oak- land upon David F. Wythe, Columbia university graduate, former private secretary to B. Fay Mills and apart- ‘, Wythe was sen- tenced after he had made a dramatic plea for lenfency. BODY-OF ALEX. KITTSON - IS FOUND IN CASS LAKE He and a Companion, Joe North, Were Drowned While on Fish- ing Trip. Cass Lake, June 3.—(Special te Pioneer.)—After searching the lake for eight days, a party today found the body of Alex Kittson, who, with Joe North, embarked on the lake five weeks ago and was drowned. The body of North was found about a week ago, near the mouth of Turtle river. The boat was found near Cedar Island a few days later. Kittson’s body was found on the northeast point of Star island. The finding of Kittson’s body recalled to the minds of the sport- ing fraternity of Cass Lake the many admirable qualities of the deceased. Alex. was known as the sportsman’s friend. There w1s not a, corner of the forest that he was not acquainted with. - Whenever a party of hunters desired game he was the man they consulted. The sporting fraternity of this place, as a token of respect and love for the deceased, has taken up a subscrip- tion to pay for the burial of Kittson’s body. Kittson has lived in this section for the last twenty years. He leaves a squaw wife and many fnends to mourn his loss. 2 Kittson always took pride in say- ing that he was a member of the family of the late Com- modore Kittson of St. Paul, but reports from that place seem to clearly indicate that there was no relationship between the two fami- lies. J. P. Lahr, assistant county coroner, went to Cass Lake last night to investigate the circum- stances in connection with the finding of the body of Alexander Kittson, who was drowned in Cass Lake, in company with his partner, Joe North. The point: where the body was found is in Beltrami county,although close to the village "of Cass Lake, and the authorities of this county have charge of the body. A large barge iaden with Chinese prisoners capsized in the Amu' river and eighty-nine persons drowned. .

L. & M. railway company (better known as the Red Lake railway company). willlaunch on Red lake a big new gasoline boat, which will eclipse, in the point of efficiency for the .pur- pose desired, any boat ever con- structed in the northern “part of the state. For several years the old Red Lake Transportation company, and later, the M, R. L. & M. railway ‘company, have used the “Micheal Kelly” big steamboat for the purpose of towing logs, handling freight and to do general transportation bnsiness on Red lake. The Micheal Kelly is “out of commission” this year and the railway company is to replace tne old boat with a new and more modern craft. John W. Kelsey of this city, who enjoys an enviable reputation as a designer and builder of boats, was secured to design and build a new boat for the Red lake, to take the place of the Micheal Kelly. Mr. Kelsey has completed the boat, which is in’the round house of the railway company in this city. The new boat presents a very neat and trim appearance and all who have seen the craft unhesitatingly declare it to be the finest specimen of an up-to-date boat that they ever saw. ° The new boat is a catvel-built, being planked and. corker to the water line, and the boat draws but thirty-six-inches of water to the load-line. . The timber usedin the construc- tion of the boat was white oak and white pine and was especially se- lected for the purpose of building the boat. The ribs of the boat are placed in six-inch center and are of 1% inchésby 1% inch oak. The boat has a ten-foot beam and FORTY CENTS PER MONTH FOR RED LAKE 2 Builder, Has Built an Excep- for the Company.—Will d Next Week. is fifteen feet over all. The lines are vesy symeterical, The boat is of a new type and model with tor- pedo stern, making it especially sea- worthy and able to “stand on its own legs” in any kind of a sea. The boat is suppled with a seam- less steel 60-gallon gasoline tank, which will fora run of ten hours of steady work. This tank is connected to two 30-horse power Roberts 3-cylin- der motors, which are said to be decidely the best motor in the mar- ket today. It is estimated that the speed of the new boat will be fifteen miles an hour, which is very fast for a craft of this kind. The boat is surmounted by a cabin thirty feet long with anes- pecial provided place for the steers- man in front. The cabin is a neatly arranged affair. and is in keeping with the general efficiency of the entire boat. Tne railway company has the boat in such condition that it may be easily launched on flatcars and taken to Redby, from which place it will be launched on Red lake. The entire cost of the boat is estimated at $3,500. Considering the fact that the very best timber was used in the construction of the boat, this price is considered very modern for a finished up-to-date vessel. The launching of the boat on Red Lake will be an event of consider- able importance and the Aborigines that- inhabit_the reservation and other residents of Redby will pro- bably see to it that the launching of the boat is properly- celebarted. The boat isa credit alike to the railroad and Mr. Kelsey, the latter has established the fact that he can equal, if not excell, any. of the boat builders in the Twin cities, or in any part of the northwest. Purchased Fine Stallion. The horsemen of Bemidji and Beltrami county generally are pleased at the action of Dr. .Warn- inger of this city, who has added another pure-bred sire to the high- priced animals already owned in this city. * Dr. Warninger announces that he has purchashed “Hamnut,” whose trotting record is 2:29, and will keep the animal her for breeding purposes. “Hamnut” is the sire of Roy B, which ammal has a pacing record of 2:09 1-4'on a_half-mile track. Roy B. recently, in England, lowered the world’s five-mile pacing record to 12:25 3-5, being 4 2-5 seconds faster than any American record. “Hamnut” was purchased . from Mr. Kipperstrom of Crookston; and Dr. Warninger is justly proud of the fact that he now owns two fine stallions; in “Hamnut” and “General Blackford.” Local news on last page WE SHOE CHILDREN CORRECTLY e've shoes for Boys and Girls of all ages.
