HE BEMIDJI D. VOLUME 6. NUMBER 83. BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 25, 1908. FORTY CENTS PER MONTH MILLS WILL BE OPERATED NIGHTS REST OF SEASON Bemidji Lumber Company Will Begin Night Sawing Mon- day Night, and Crookston Company Will Begin Night Operations About August First. It is announced that the Bemidji Lumber company will start running their local mills nights on next Monday. Following the announcement of the Bemidji Lumber company it is also stated that the Crookston Lum- ber company will also start their mills nights beginning August 1. Both lumber companies have large quantities of logs which they desire to manufacture into lumber which will necessitate the running of a day and night shift from the present time until probably fall freezing. The result of sawing nights in the mills will necessitate the employing of sixty-five more men at the Bemidji Lumber company’s plant and 125 in the Crookston company’s plant. This means considerable addition to the payrolls of both companies, bringing more money in circulation among the local business men. It is interesting to note that the big sawmill of the Red River Lum- ber company at Akeley will shut down tomorrow night, which will mean throwing several hundred men out of employment, most of whom will come to Bemidji. - The lumber companies do not fear lack of men for their night operations. Red River Valley wheat belt in Dakota and western Minnesota is overcrowded with laborers so that men who have formerly gone from here west to harvest will return to seek work here.

Dare, editor of the Walker Pilot, came up from his home last evening and spent the night in the city, returning to Walker this morn- ing. We are worried about Dare. Al though the latch string at the Pio- neer office was out a foot, we failed to see Bro. Dare. He being a married man, and a devout member of a religious denomination at Walker, we fear he fell into unde- sirable hands while here. However, we hope all is well with him. He’s a dare-ing fellow. Pleasant Bridge Party. A bridge party was given at the home of Mrs. A. P. White yesterday afternoon, at which, besides the hostess, were present Mrs. Hender- son Mrs. Marcum, Mrs. Lycan, Mrs. Brooks, Mrs. Black and Miss Donald- son. Refreshments were served at 5:30 and bridge was played. The ladies report a very enjoyable time. Cement Sidewalks.

" Cass Lake July 25.—(Special to Pioneer.)—Despondent over the fact that he had been ill for a year past with but little prospect of recovery, DOUGLASS LUMBER GO.'Y WILL SELL AT RETAIL Popular Company Owns a Local Mill and Planer and Will Undoubtedly Do Well. The Douglass Lumber company of this city, which has manufac- tured lumber, lath and shingles here for some time past, has decided to engage in the retail lumber business and with that end in view, ises- tablishing yards in this city. The Douglass Lumber company purchased land on Lake Irving dur- erected a mill for the manafacture of lath and shingles. The venture was very successful, and last fall the company decided to enlarge their plant. They put in a considerable quantity of new machinery and for several months past have manu- factured all kinds of lumber, includ- ing the finished product from their planing mill. The demand for their output was such that the company decided to engage in the retail business and has already established a nice trade throughout North Dakota and north- ern Minnesota. The company has a large quaintity of lumber on hand and is adding to this stock in order to supply the demand which will undoubtedly be made through the company’s retail trade. . H. N. Douglass is president of the Douglass Lumber company, with F. R. Patterson treasurer and J. J. Anderson secretary, all of whom make their homes in Bemidji. The company has an enviable reputation for square dealing, which undoubtedly has much to do with the large patronage they enijoy. The Douglass company will handle all kinds of lumber, lath, shingles, siding—in fact everything in the building line. Realistic Pictures. Manager Brinkman is now pre- senting some very realistic pictures at his place of amusement and you will do well to go and spend an evening there. 'The picture “In a Submarine” is a very imstructive and pretty screen and is well worth the price of admission alone, but besides this they are presenting a very reliable vaudeville act, in fact a double act, the DeLoys and Mans field Bros. The vaudeville acts wil be changed this evening and the theater goers are promised some- Three in Police Court. Three vagabonds were brought up in police court before Judge Simons this morning. James Kirk, although a maker of soap was evidently not a user of soap, and he was fined $10and costs or thirty days in jail for vagrancy. Sentenced was sespended and Kirk left the city. 2 Lewis Freehouse was also up for vagrancy. He was given $5 and costs or ten days in jail, but sen- tence was suspended on condition that he leave the city at once. Ed. Luther was drunk and was allowed by Judge Simons to leave the city on payment of the costs. : Parcel Shower., A number of friends of Miss Ethel Kelly of this city, surprised her at the Bailey home on Minnesota ave- nue last evening with a parcel shower. Miss Kelly is engaged to John Hanson of this city. There were about twenty-three present and lall reported a delightful evening, making the hours “skidoo” quickly. NORTHOME BALL TEAM WON FROM KELLIHER I1-6 The North-Line Baseball Players Played Fast Game at Kelliher Yesterday Afternoon. Kelliher,. July 25.—(Special to Pioneer.)—In game of ball played here yesterday between the Kelliher and Northome teams, the latter defeated the home team, by a score of 11 to 6. The game was an exhibition of poor playing, marked with occas- ional good work, both teams making inexcusable erorors, and’ at times playing sensational ball. Hermann, for Kelliher, and Scribner, for Northome, did the pitching for their respective teams and divided honors, but the visitors hit the ball when hits meant runs, Kelliher falling down in this respect The Kelliher team started off like a sure winner, getting three hits in the first inning, and, these, inter- mixed with two errors by the visit- ing players, gave Kelliher four scores. The Northome ‘players secured a run in each of the first two innings, and got two more in the third, tieing the score, the Northome players tak- ing every advantage of the misplays of Kelliher and also running bases finely. Northome forged a score ahead in, thing well worth their money at any time. report a very good time.

J. W. Irwin’s Great Little Pacing Mare Has Been Showing Great Form This Season. The friends of J. W. Irwin, who has made his home in this city for the last ten years, are congratulat- ing him on the fine showing which is being made by his fast little pac- ing mare, “Isinetta.” “Isinetta” was bought by Irwin from W.
