A. T. Wheelock of this city has been secured to act as auctioneer, and has agreed to sell the things without remuneration of *any kind, donating his services absolutely free of charge. The farmers in the vicinity of Bemidji are lespecially 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 tbat the merchants will make special prices on certain goods on ‘“Market Day,” which will make it an object for the farmers to visit the city on Market day. Drop ina “Buck” Wheelock Will Act as Auctioneer. E. N. Kellogg will act as treasurer for what litttle funds will be used in defraying the expense of Market day. Articles for sale will be listed as early as possible in the morning and the sales will be started before The auction will be conducted on the vacant lot opposite Pogue’s barn. noon if it is possible to do so. “CLEANING UP” IS THE SLOGAN OF BEMIDJITES Taking Refuse from the Streeis and Alleys, and Removing Logs from Lakeshore. The work of cleaning up the streets, private lots, alleys, lake- shore and other parts of Bemidji is being carried on in a thorough man- ner that indicates that a sincere desire on the part of every Bemidjian (with one or two exceptions) to make the city look beautiful during the balance of the summer. A few days ago the Pioneer had occasion to call attention to the disgusting conditions of some parts of the city and the publicity appar- ently had good effect. Under the direction of Mayor Pogue and Street Commissioner Miller a gang of men has been working industriously to get things into good shape. The lumber companies are start* ing to take the logs from the lake shore, bordering the city and also many of the deadheads in the lake, with the result that if the work is kept up the lake will be entirely free from logs which are not boomed. However, there is much more clean- ing up to be done and everybody should co-operate in finishing the work so as to be ready for the visi- tors next week. Popular Lake Trips. ‘The Duluth, South Shore and At- lantic, as has been the usual custom, are offering a special inducement to those in search of lake trips. The second excursion will leave Duluth June 11 and returning, leave Detroit July 8." There will also be two other trips, leaving Duluth June 17 and June 19, returning leave Detroit July 15. Arrangements have also been made with the Duluth and Buffalo Steamships to convey people desir- ing to see the lower lake points from Duluthto Toledo at the rate of $12.50; to Cleveland and return, $13.50; to Buffalo and return. §$14. Reservations for berths on steamer -and trains should be made as early as possible. Apply to A. J. Perim, General Agent, Duluth,. Minn. or Mart Adson, General Passenger Agent, Duluth, Minn.

The members of the Chautauqua Beach Association will immediately place lots in the platted portion of the Beach on the market for sale and it is possible that these very desir- able locations for summer homes will be speedily disposed of. A meeting of the directors of the association was held last evening at which it was decided to at once be- gin a sale of lots. A. G. Rutledge of this city was elected president of the association to succeed A. A. Carter, resigned. The matter of choosing lots was settled by a vote of the directors and it was decided to improve the prop- erty and advertise the desirability of the lots. The Chautauqua Beach Associa- tion owns fitty-one acres of very desirable land bordering on the northwest shore of Lake Bemidji. This property adjoins:the premises of F. A. Mayo on the north and A. Clavin on the south. It is the first platted high ground rorth of Grand Forks Bay and is located in the the northwest arm of the lake, where there is a bay which is always pro- tected from the winds which sweep over the lake. The beach is sandy and very prettily located. The very best fish- ing grounds are but a few feet from the shore of this property. Several people living at Grand Forks, N. D. have made requests for lots and no doubt as soon as the property is placed on the market it will be speedily sold to persons desiring locations for summer homes. s R e Meeting Red Men Tonight. Members of the Bemidge Lodge of Red Men should not forget the meeting of the lodge which will be held this evening. All should attend as there will be business of im- protance. Take Notice.

Bemidji Will Play Brainerd Sunday The fast Brainerd ball team will play against the Bemidji team at the down-town park in this city Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock and it is expected that the game will be a closely-contested one. The Brainerd team will arrive in the city on the week-end train from Brainerd early Sunday morning and will, undoubtedly, bring a bunch of “rooters” with them, as the people of Brainerd believe ‘that they have a very fast team. Hall and Parker will be the bat- tery for the Brainerd team, and are said to be very good. Hall, the pitcher, is working in the N. P. When Bush Played With Bralnerd. Shops in Brainerd.

Dampier and come from the south and is said to be a crackerjack “heaver.” The fans at Brainerd think he is about the best that they have had in for several years. The line-up of the Bemidji team will be about the same as it was last Sunday, with the exception that “Reddy” Hazen will probably play if he is in the city. Fred Baumgartner will pitch, with Louie Roy catching. Charles Roy will also play in the game,-and may possible pitch a part of the time. The local team will be strenghten- ed considerably for the game with Hibbing. GLOQUET HAS MEET NEXT YEAR; ALEXANDRIA 1910 State Firemen’s” Association Will Not Meet in Bemidji.—Local Dele- gates Not'in It. Mankato, June 12—The next Con- vention of the Minnesota State Fire Department association will be held at Cloquet. This was first decided two years ago, when its fire chief was elected second vice president, but since then he has been let out of his office at Cloquet and a move was started yesterday to pass the town by and have the next conven- tion at Alexandria, A fever heat was reached when the contest was on yesterday after- noon and many speeches and pleas were made on the relative claims of the two cities. After half an hour of roll calling it was found the ballot stood} 306 for Chief Charles Wendall of Cloquet for president and 84 for Chief L. S. Kent of Alex- andria. This decided it for Cloquet, ‘The suggestion to hold future con- ventions in towns of not less than 5,000 was coldly received. Kent was chosen first vice - presi- dent, and the 1910 convention goes to Alexandria. E.M. Twiford, Owa- onna, was chosen second vice presi- dent, and the latter city gets the convention in 1911, The candidates were Hibbing, St. Peter and Fair- mont. Twiford received 133 votes or three less than needed for a choice. All other candidates withdrew in his favor and made his election unani- mous. Chief J. R. Cantetbury, Minneapo- lis, was chosen third vice president. Capt. D. L. Kane, Minneapolis, re- elected secretary, Andrew Myler, St. Paul, re-elected statistican. Delegates—Earl Geil, Bemidji, G. W. Cotterell, Luverne. Judging from .the above, it would appear -that Bemidji delegation of firemen who went to Mankato to try and get some future meeting of the state firemen for this city, had not been very successful in bringing the name of Bemidji to the front, ‘as has also been the case at’ past conventions. - A few leather-lunged war horses who have had the'experience in getting con- ventions should go along with the boys and do the “rooting.” This might bring about desired results.

The race track at the fair grounds presents an animated scene these days, with the horsemen of this city conditioning their steppers and putting them through some fast miles. Most any forenoon a visitor to the track can see some real inter- esting brushes and miles reeled off inside the 2:30 mark. “Bill” Begsley, who is up behind Prince Hal this season, has got the grand pacer in an excellent con- dition. “Hal” has jogged several miles close to 2:20 and is impa- tient to go much faster. He is ome of the most gentle horses that hauls a bike on the race track in the country and is very easily handled. He is a willing worker, has an excellent temper and is easily put into condition. In fact, he is working fine right now and would be ready for a bruising race tomorrow. Thomas Newby has been. doing some fine work with his splendid little mare, ‘“Bessie Barolite,” record 2:21%. She is also going very fast for this time of the year. Mr. New- by also has Brownie and Doris, horses which will go in the slow races. Dan Fullerton will probably drive Bemidji Belle in the races this- year. The little pacing mare was never in better condition. Her present record is 2:27%: and itis predicted that she will pace close to the 2:20 mark this season. Prince Hal and Bessie Barolite were put through three fast heats, yesterday, Bessie taking the pole with Prince Hal -on the outside. These conditions made the heats very pretty ones and both horses are working fast, considering the early season of the year. Thomas Newby left last night for Fargo where he will - consult the horsemen who are racing in that city and induce a number of them to make entries for the races here on June 20 and 21, when Bemidji will undoubtedly have some very good contests of speed.

Washington, June 12.—Members of the Winnibigoshish and Leech Lake Indian tribes who are to be called together in council tor the purpose of naming one representa- tive to look after their interests on a commission authorized by congress in the new federal forest reserve bill, will soon be summoned by John Frater, the agent at Leech Lake.

Under the provisions of bill one member of the new commission is to be appointed by the president one by secretary of interior and one by the Indians in council. Senator Clapp has recommended A. G. Bernard formerly of Cass Lake as one member of commission and the president will designate some man from the Indian office. The commission will have a short job as under the terms of the bill it is provided they shall receive pay for only ten days, but if they cannot get through in that time their terms of compensation may be taken care of by congress. : Their work will be to estimate the amount of standing timber on the ten sections left intact for the reserve and also the timber on the island and on Sugar Point which are in- cluded in reservation. They will also estimate amount in value of all timber left standing on the new reservation and certify the. same to the secretery of the treasury who will place it to the credit of the Indians.
