Lakeside Bakery Changes Hands. A deal has recently been closed whereby W. A. McDonald of the Model Bakery has become interested in and assumed the management of the Lakeside Bakery, formerly owned and operated by E. L. Naylor. When seen by the Pioneer repre- sentative today Mr. McDonald inti- mated that there were other parties interested with him in the deal whose names he did not care to give at present, but stated the chief object in view was to put the bakery busi- ness on a paying basis. Owing to the very high fixed expense in this line of business the two bakeries in Bemidji have never been operated at a profit at the same time and Mr. McDonald hopes by running the two places in unison to eliminate many itcms of expense and thereby make the proposition a pay-| ing one as well as giving the patrons better service and better values. Several new pieces of machinery will be installed at the Model and the services of an expert cake and | pastry baker has been procured. The ovens at the Lakeside will not operated at present unless the trade increaues enough to warfant the expense of maintaining the two shops. Bliler Baby Dead.

The Beltrami and Koochiching county summer school held in this city, closed Saturday evening and it goes without saying that this was the largest and best attended sum- mer school ever held in this section of the state, the attendance reach- ing 100. The school was a six-weeks term and the course of study was so well planned that many have attended this school from a distance, some from other counties even passing up their own summer school to attend the Bemidji Summer school. From the statistics in the hands of County Superintendent W. B. Stewart we take the following: "Total enrollment. . . 100 Average daily attendance. . +.76 Average age of those attending..20 Average beginning teaching....17 Number holding second grade cer- tificates. - .

P. Harring- ton, of the Crookston School of Agriculture, Mr. Harrington being in attendance at the Summer school for one week, and during each day gave special work in agriculture. The school was also favored with a lecture by Dr. L. N. Sperry of Oberlin, Ohio; Assistant State Sup- erintendent C. G. Schultz of St. Paul and Dr. J. G. Shelland of the Miz- pah Congregational church of Min- neapolis. At the conclusion of the term the following resolutions were adopted: RESOLUTIONS.

Stanley and Scanlon, who closed their engagement at the Brinkman last evening, have been forced, through their great popularity, to remain in this city the balance of the week. They are certainly putting on some of the best vaudeville there has ever been seen in the city and manager Brinkman is for- tunate in securing them for the balance of the week. Their sketch which they will present tonight is a very laughable obserdity entitled “Alright.” The moving pictrés are the some as last evening and they are very creditable to the house. N.B.

G. Lyon. Relief Association Gets $861.12. City Treasurer Earl Geil has re- ceived from the state treasurer the sum of $861.12, being the city’s share of fire insurance policies written in this city during the year 1907. The state places a tax of 2 per cent on all policies written in each municipality. At the end of the year, and after all insurance com- paunies have made their reports, this is figured out for each municipality and mailed to their treasurer. This fund goes to the Relief Association of the Fire Department being a fund for the sick, injured or disabled members of the department and widows and orphans. The amount received is somewhat larger than that of last year and has been placed to the credit of the Firemen’s Relief Association. Plenty of Work Here. Men need not go to the Dakotas this fall in search of work as there is plenty to do right at home and at good wages. The two big mills have put on night shifts, employing a‘large num- ber of extra men. The big dam east of Bemidji, on the Mississippi, will require more men from now on, so no one need to go away to find work, The wages in Dakota are not as high this year, and in some parts of the state the crops are not turning out well It looks as though the man who stays at home will be the winner this year as he will not be out his expenses to the Dakotas and back and all the lost time.

WILL SPEAK ONLY IN LARGE GITIES Bryan Plans Tour of the En- tire Gountry. Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 6.—William J. Bryan will make several campaign tours which will embrace nearly all parts of the country, speaking in most of the principal cities between the At- lantic and Pacific coasts: The candi- date’s itinerary is now under prepara- tion by Norman E. Mack, chairman of the Demosratic national ‘committee, ‘who made known the general plan for the tours. John W. Kern, the Demo- cratic vice presidential candidate, will likely accompany Mr. Bryan on part of the trip and Chairman Mack hopes to arrange to have Mr. Kern speak with Mr. Bryan when he makes his visit to New York state. Mr. Mack said: “While the present plans are tenta- tive and subject to change Mr. Bryan will make several tours, which will take in practically the whole United States. He will speak only in large cities and will not attempt {o do the exhaustive work that he has done in other of his campaigns. Soon after the notification of Mr. Bryan in Lin- coln he will speak in the middle sec- tion of the country, visiting Chicago, Cleveland, Cincinnati, St. Louis and other cities. Later Mr. Bryan will go East and on this trip I am planning to have Mr. Kern make a joint speaking tour with him. “The Pacific coast states also will be visited by Mr. Bryan, probably after the trip in the Bast. No definite dates for any of the cities have been set and will not be for some little time. “Mr. Kern will be actively engaged during the campaign with speechmak- ing trips through the principal parts of the country.” BAND CONGERT AT GITY- DOCK FRIDAY EVENING An Excellent Program Has Been Pra- pared for the Occasion.—Concert Starts at 8 o'clock.
