HEATED GONTROVERSY ON OVER RAISING LIGENSE Cass Lake Council would Put Licerse at $750.—Strenuous Objection to Ordinance. Cass Lake, June 6.—(Special to Pioneer.—After one of the most en- thusiastic and exciting pablic meet- ings ever held in Cass Lake the citizens of the town decided to ap- point a committee which should call on the village council and request them to reconsider a recent ordinance passed by that body. About three weeks ago the council passed an ordinance requiring all saloonkeepers to pay a licence of $750 per year. The license fee heretofore has been $500. The ordinance also forbade the granting of any licenses except to those at the present time in the saloon busi- ness and should any of those at the present time in the saloon business so long as the number of saloons was in excess of ten. This ordinance caused consider- able discussion both as to its merits and demerits. A petition request- ing the council to reconsider their action and signed by eighteen of the most prominent men in town was presented to that body and last night a meeting of the commercial club was called, so everyone might give his opinion. The meeting was attended by about four times as many men as were members of the club, which changed it into a mass meeting. After several eloquent and heavy addresses on both sides a vote was taken as to whether or not the coun- cil should be asked to reconsider their action as to limiting the num- ber of saloons. There were but six votes in favor of the ordinance. A vote was then taken to deter- mine whether or not it was the desire to increase the license fee. There were but six votes differ- ence between the two opinions the six majority being in favor of leaving the license at $500. A committee will appear at the next council meeting and present the vote of the citizens. OFFIGIAL TIME GARD 1S ISSUED FOR NEW GHANGE — Manager Gemmell Sends Out Schedule Which Goes Into Effect Next Monday. — The new time card for the M. & I. railway, which will be put into effect tomorrow, will allow the north and south-bound passenger trains to stop ten minntes in Bemidji, instead of thirty minutes, as heretofore. The new order of things calls for a faster scedule, both ways, and it was necessary to cut the time for stopping at Bemidji. B | > < St. Paul Minneapolis Ar. Brainerd Lv.

Education Progressing.- That education in Beltrami:&ounty is increasing is shown by the follow- ing facts given out this mor aing by County Superintendent of Schools W. B. Stewart: | There were twelve schools in the: county outside of the independent districts of Bemidji and Blackducl;, which took the state board examina- tions in May this year. These are the semi-graded and rural schools. Last year there were only three of these schools which took the examin- ations.

Bagley, June 6.—(Special to Pioneer,)—It was a sight good for sore eyes to see the number of farm rigs with cream at the creamery yesterday. Over 5,640 pounds of cream was delivered before 12m. A year ago this date, onmly 2,400 pounds were delivered. The creamery management expect before the end of this month to see at least 10,000 pounds of cream delivered three times a week. And this, at the creamery which was supposed to be located in the coun- try where it would be impossible to make a creamery pay. That the creamery is appreciated by the business man, is evidenced by the fact that they refuse to pay within four cents of creamery prices for the best of dairy butter which quickly teaches the farmer that it is to his best interest to help push along the local creamery, whether so inclined or not. Presbyterian—Morning worship at 11. Subject, “God’s Greater Blessing.” Bible class and Sunday school at 12:15, Jr. C. E. at 3, Sr. C. E. at 7. Evening service at 8. Sub- ject, “The Gatewayto Life.” All not worshiping elsewhere are cor- dially invited to these services. Strangers and visitors to . the city city are always welcome. “Week-End Train,” Tonight. The second of the so-called “week. end” special trains from St. Paul- will be run over the N. P. and M. & L roads tonight, leaving St. Paul at 6:30 o’clook, and arriving here at 3:40 tomorrow morning. Returning from the north, the train will leave International Falls at 7:30 in the evening, leavieg Bemidji at 11:45. As the train carries any and all passengers to the. twin cities, Sunday night, any person desiring to make a Monday ‘'morning trip to St. Paul can do so, arriving there at 10 o’clock in the morning. The train has been put into ser- vice as an experiment during the month of June, and whether it will continue will depend altogether on the amount of business obtained. ““Bob” and Eva in Town. “Bob” and Eva McGinley, the ever-popular entertainers, arrived in the city last night and will visit here over Sunday. They are en tour along the north line of the M. & I. railway, and will give entertainments at International Falls and other places, possibly reaching Bemidji on the return trip to play here on July 4th. There are probably no two people on the theatrical stage today who have more sincere friends than “Bob” and Eva McGinley. They Better Come Over, Iver. Shevlin Herald: A gentleman from Bemidji was here Monday hanging large posters and otherwise billing the town for two big celebra- tions which that town has in hand, vizz The Fourth Annual Meeting of the B. P. O. Elks on June 18-19-20, and Bemidji’s 4th of July celebration. Both of these bills carry an unusually large and interesting program and promises to give all visitors the time of their lives at the popular outing resort. They have had a very succeesful International Falls 6, Littlefork 1. One of the the best games of base- ball ever played in the country north of Bemidji was that at Little- fork yesterday afternoon, when the International Falls semi-professional team defeated Littlefork, by a score of 6 to 1. The game was much more evenly contested than the score would indi- cate, and the “going” was fast all the way through. Two errors by a new iman who was being tried out at short for Littlefork allowed Inter- national Falls to put four runs across the plate, which were enough alone to win the game. Wubbins pitched for the “Falls” and Wilson caught. But two hits were made off Wubbins, who twirles a fine game. Riggs was on the mound for Littlefork with Ritchie behind the willow. Riggs allowed but four hits, and did fine work. Died of Convulsions. Little Alfred Francis Cox, the two and one-half year old son of Charles Cox, who lives on the Foley farm west of this city, in Grant Valley township, died yes- terday of convulsions, after being ill for over a year. The body of the little boy was quietly laid to rest at the Green- wood cemetery this afternoon, Reverend White conducting the sevices. Tried This Afternoon. Frank Robinson, the man’ who so cruelly deserted his wife at Turtle River, was arrested last night at Kelliher by Deputy Sheriff Arne Solberg. He was' given a hearing this afternoon before Judge Simons. Committed to Asylum. Ole Eige oi Shotley was examined by the insanity board before Judge Clark this morning and committed to the state asylum for the insane at Fergus Falls. Eige’s insanity is not of a voilent character but to the contrary seems to be of a melancholy manner. To the Public. Clarence Shannon is now a regu- lar employe of the Pioneer, in the capacity of local news gatherer and solicitor and collector, and any news matter entrusted to him, or printing given him; will receive prompt atten- | tion of the office.

A field box has been made for each lieutenents and the captain, and a field desk for the first sergeant. Who Stole the Lilacs? Said D. H. Fisk to the Pioneer man this morning: “I've got a lilac bush, up at my house, which was about the best ever. It was full of blossoms. Last night some unprincipled, durned &gy § *Hkrx §8§8— stole all the blossoms. By the L — b ke QO Thiblb 11 tH1.” And D. H. sadly shook his head. Stoves For Sale.

Mrs. Charles Conger of McIntosh spent a few hours between trains at the the home of her cousin, J. J. Conger of this city. Mrs. Harry Koors and little son, John, have returned from Lake Plan- tagnet, where they spent a week at the popular “Jester Farm.” Mrs. Koors states that the fari is one of the cosiest summer resorts she has ever visited and she enjoyed her stay very much, Roosevelt to Leave for -Africa Some Time in April Next, EXPECTS TO BE GONE A YEAR Will Be Accompanied by His Son Ker mit, the Other Members of the Fam- ily Remaining at Sagamore Hill, Oyster Bay. ‘Washington, June 6.—Important sig- nificance in connection with Pregident Roosevelt’s determination against a third term is contained in the admis- sfon made for the first time that the president is making definite plans to leave the United States in April next year for Africa, where he will spend a year hunting big game. Rumors that Mr. Roosevelt was to leave the country at the conclusion of his term of office have been printed heretofore. When confirmation was sought at the White House the answer has been that no definite conclusion-had been reached as to the president’s plans. But now it is stated positively that Mr. Roosevelt, with his son Kermit, would sall from New York for Cairo in April, "1909—just as soon as the necessary arrangements for the de- parture could be made after March 4. It is the desire of the president to bring back at the end of the year from the wilds of Africa specimens of every species of big game to be had on the Dark Continent. He will visit no other country, it is stated, ¥ The outfit for the expedition will be obtained on reaching Africa, but an active correspondence in thie conmec- tion already is under way. The exaat size of the hunting party—number of guldes and retainers, animals, etc.— hag not been determined on, The pres- ident, however, will take with him an assortment of arms which he will re- quire in the variety of hunting con- templated. This outfit will inelude, of course, guns of the highest power. During the absefice of Mr. Roosevelt in Africa Mrs. ‘Roosevelt and other members of the family will remain at the family home at Sagamore Hill, Oyster Bay, 2 Later—Is is learned this after- | noon that Mr. Bixby will be in the | @ He will come in|% -fon the veek-end train which ar-|§ will meet wiih him tomorrow to talk | 3 Company K, Bemidji’s quota of the Minnesota National Guards, axrived | & and consists of a coat, trousers, leg- |} WILL HUNT BIG GAME| e ol Chi :'fi This Is The Weather that calls for flowing-end fourin-hands and big, rich, full batwings in neckwear; crushed fruit colorings - are something new.

RAIN STILL FALLING Flood Situation in Montana Con- ' linues to Grow Worse. RAILROAD TRAFFIC TIED UP Helena and Butte Also Cut Off From Wire Communication With the Out- side World and Butte Has No Light or Power. Salt Lake City, June 6.—Helena end Butte, Mont., are practically, cut off from the outside world. Rain is still falling heavily throughout that portion of Montana and traffic on the railroads, -already demoralized by washouts following a week’s almost continuous rain, will be tied up for several days. Every little trout stream and brook in Central Montana is a raging tor- rent, while the Big Hole, Clarks Ford and Missouri rivers are twice and three times their usual width and overflowing the lowlands, threatening bridges and causing serious washouts on the railroads in dozens of places. Bast and west of Helena on the Northern Pacific, north and south of Helena on the Great Northern and also on the Oregon Short Line north and south of Dillon passenger trains are stalled with no hope of getting through until the waters go down and 1 the work of repairing the tracks can be taken up. Out of Butte both the Northern Pacific and Great Northern are tied up by washouts. The Postal Telegraph had a wire into Butte long enough to learn that the power house supplying the elec- tric lighting and telegraph power was threatened by floods. The wire fafled a moment later and Butte therefore i8 practically without light or power. All the Western Union wires failed morth of Dillon, Mont, as a result elther of the power house at Butte or washouts along the Big Hole river. The latter stream is seriously threat- ening the big bridge a mile north of Dillon and Oregon Short Line passen- ger trains are tied up on either side with no prospects of resumption of traffic for at least twenty-four hours, GROWS MORE SERIOUS. Heavy Rain Continues to Fall in West- ern Montana. Missoula, Mont.,, June 6.—The flood situation in Western Montana is more serfous than it has been at any time siaee the thirty-day rain began. The rainfall for ‘the past twenty-four hours has been the heaviest of the month and the streams are at the damger polat. ‘Word has come to Missoula that the Moulten dam above Butte burst snd the flood had raised the river at @ar.. rison, seventy-five miles east of Mis- soula, four feet, There are two large dams in the river between Garrison and Missoula and their destruction is threatened. The largest of these, the power dam, is owned by W. A. Clark. If this goes out there will be great injury to the farms in the valley for miles. The railway situation east of Mis- soula is serious. The Northern Pa- cific has not moved a train between Missoula and Helena or Butte since Monday and it will probably be weeks before the damage to the track can fully be repaired. Miles of the new roadbed of the St. Paul road east of here have been swept away and it is estimated that it will require more than a month to repair the damage from this source. _— SEVERAL PERSONS HURT. “Millionaires’ Express” Wrecked Near Millington, N. J. New York, June 6.—A suburban train on the Passaic and Delaware branch of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad, known as the “Millionaires’ express,” was wrecked by spreading rails near Millington, N. J., and several persons were hurt, Three Dead, Twenty Injured.
