-y VOLUME 6. NUMBER 110. COUNTY BOARD GIVES THE FAIR ASSOCIATION $250 County Board, in Adjourned Special Session, Makes Same Appropriation as City Council.—Board Considers Several School Petitions. The board of county commis- sioners, at their adjourned session which convened yesterday, appropri- ated the sum of $250, the same to be used by the Beltrami County Agricultural association in paying the expenses of the county fair,which is to be held in Bemidji September 24.25-26. As the City of Bemidji has already appropriated $250 for the fair, this gives the fair associa- tion $500 as a starter for donations for the exhibition. This session of the county board was for the purpose of hearing pe- titions for the organization of new school distriets, the allowing of a big batch of bills and passing on some special matters of importance which had come up since the last regular meeting. The bonds of the First National Bank of Blackduck, the First National Bank of Cass Lake and the Security State Bank of Spooner were approved ds depositories for county funds. Petitions for the establishing of new school districts at different points in the county were considered by the board and the petitions allowed as follows: One district was petitioned for towns 157-158, range 31; a district for the east half of the Town of Lammers; one in 163-34, Town of Lakewood, being the north end of the county; also Township 155, ranges 27 and 38. A petition for the establishment of District No.- 120, known as the “Dodge” petition, was reapproved. This petition was at a former meet- ing approved, and later rejected. At this meeting the petition, as orginally submitted, was granted witb the exception that the two half- sections of land belonging to Dis- trict 51 were excluded from the territory assigned to this district, to be known as No. 120. A petition to add certain tracts of vacant territory to District 46, B. F. WRIGHT MAKES A - VISIT AMONG BEMIDJANS, Candidate for the Republican Nomina- tion for Judge Meets With a Very Hearty Reception. B. F. Wright of Park Rapids, candidate for the republican nomi- ration for judge of the Fifteenth Judicial district, was a visitor in Bemidji yesterday and spent the day among the voters in the city, by whom he was given a very hearty reception. Mr. Wrignt is making his cam- paign for the nomination for judge purely onhis merits and is making an excellent impression in Beltrami county. In speaking of his opponent, Mr. Thwing of Grand Rapids, Mr. Wright says nothing that is unfavor- able to that gentleman, despite the fact that Mr. Thwing’s Beltrami county manager has been very active in circulating stories derogo- tory to Mr. Wright. Mr, Wright is confident that he will receive the nomination at the primaries September 15, and his . view of the situation is hearlily coincided with by the residents of Beltrami county who are familiar with the sentiment which prevails. Methodist Sunday School Picnic. The Methodist Sunday school will hold its annual picnic next Thurs- day at the outlet across the lake. All members are requested to meet at the city dock Thursday morning at 9 o’clock with their lunches.

Arthur Walker, the 14—year old son of A P. Walker of Puposky, was released from custody Monday after- noon on the order of C. W. Stanton, judge of the Fifteenth Judical st~ trict. - Young Walker» was_ brought in from Puposky about two weeks: ago on a charge of smoking cigarettes, lad ‘was viciously incorrigible and addicted to the habit of smokmg tobacco. Judge Simons listened .to the evi- dence and came to the conclusion he was not viciously incorrigible as charged in the complaint. He certi- fied the case over to Judge Stanton, who rendered his decision as recorded above: The young lad’s mother died several years ago, and he played truant from school for ‘a week last spring; but the evidence plainly shows that the father islooking for a chance to get free board for his little son, who is only mischievous, like a great many other youngsters. his father having appeared before] Judge Simons and alleged that the| that while the boy was mischievous | AN EARLY-MORNING FIRE DESTROYS ROSE RESORT Bolmved Fire Wn inesr;dlary Origin. —Loss Was 56,500, With $3,800 Insurance‘ Fire, ‘which is believed to have been of icendiary origin, at 4 o’clock this morning, entitely destroyed the house and outbuildings owned be Ed.

We HARK ! -Great Future i Portland, Ore., August. 22. To the Editor of the Pioneer. A great city today, numbering 230,000 souls, the Greater Portland of tomorrow will have halfa million people, - if the growth is correctly shown by the census taken. Portland is growing at the rate of 20,000 people a year and the present generation of business men will live to see it pass the 500,000 mark. The city has 44 square miles of area, 185 ' miles of street railway, 315 miles of paved streets, 155 miles of sewers, 5 transcontinental railways one of the world’s greatest fresh water harbors for ocean vessels and the purest, coldest water in the world, being a gravity flow piped from the glaciers of Mount Hood, fifty miles away. The mighty Columbia,whose chan- nel at its lowest- reaches never was spanned by steel, has just been bridged to bring all railroads into Portland over continuous rails,doing away with the ponderous railroad ferry established by Villard thirty years ago. As a residence city its equal does not exist. Rosebuds unfolded on Portland .lawns in January and tropical plants weathered the winter without covering, People all too frequently fail to realize and appreciate the glories and beauties of the section in whic they live. 'Theré' may- be -grand lacanarn in Athas narta af tha far away, but none more varied, beautiful and picturesque than are to be found in our native land, where floats - the stars and stripes. Nowhere are there more attractive recreation places in the country than along the shores of .the Clackmas and Williamette rivers. Nowhere can one enjoy the picturesque beauties of Oregon scenery, which nature has provided in such prodigal abundance, than bya trip over.these suburban trolly lines. No matter desire, it can be found within easy distance of Portland. Snow-capped peaks, water falls, rock-ribbed streams, foot hills, lava beds, bays, caves, lakes,. incomparable rivers are at the choosing of the sight seer. These sublime environments were the inspiration of the hardy Ameri- can who, in a single century, has transformed an untrodden wilderness into a great state. No visitor in Portland should leave until he has visited the natural beauties to be found in such lavish profusion along the Portland railway, RESIDENT OF BEMIDJI WRI'I_-‘ES OF PORTLAND, ORE Interesting Description of the Elegant Metropolis of the Northern Pacific Portion of the United States.— what kind of scenery the visitor may‘ for Portland. some of which are a picturesque view of Portland’s great freshwater harbor, where may be seen ships of all maratine nations of the world; the Forestry buflding. on the Lewis & Clark Exposition grounds,—in all the world there exists no such a building. In all the world there never has been nor ever will be again such a building erected and in no city but Portland is it possible to build it. It is constructed eutirely of mammouth logs of Douglas fir, in their natural sfate. = They were cut in the forests of Oregon, floated down the Williamette river to within a short distance of the grounds, and from there hauled up and placed in position by powerful donkey engines, The supports of this building are massive trunks of . Douglas fir, 80 feet in length each one containing from seven to eight thousand feet of lumber. Within this building is the stump of a mammouth Douglas fir, whose Toots are entwined around the body . of the trunk of a cedar tree. This tree died a natural death, fell over and a seed of the Douglas fir dropped” onit and grew, this according to calculations made by counting the rings, occured 173 years - before Columbus discovered America. A flag staff, standing in front of the building, also a Douglas fir, measures 184% feet above the ground 2ed- twenty: feat bdow the e A3 it Amrsoe off when the tree was felled, and we have a tree 242 feet in height.

The Columbia and Williamette rivers wind their way through ‘the landscape, while in the distance may be seen the mighty snow capped peaks of Mount hood, eleva- tion 11,225 feet, fifty miles away; Mount St. Helens, elevation 9,739 feet; sixty-three miles away; Mount Adams, elevation 12,184 feet, eighty miles away; Mount Jefferson, eleva tion 10,567 feet, seventy-three miles away; the Sisters,” elevation 10,660 feet, 103 miles away and last the grand old Ranier,whose snow-capped peak glisteas in the morning sun like millions of sparkling diamonds, elevation 14,528 feet and 100 miles away. —“Bill.” WEEK-END TRAIN WILL BE RUN THROUGH SEPTEMBER Tried First as an Experiment, Train Has Proved to Be Surprising 3 Success. “The officials of the Northern Pacific and - Minnesota & Interna- tional Railway companies have de- cided to continue their ‘“‘week- end” passenger train from St. Paul to International Falls during the month of September, a request to that effect having been granted. This train leaves St. Paul every Saturday evening at 7:30 and goes to International Falls via the N. P. and M. & I. railways. The train was first put on May 29th, asan experiment for - one month. The results were gratifying to the rail- way officials and the train has been continued each month, with a grow- ing business. The original request made of the M. & I. and N. P. roads was.for a daily train to the twig cities which should’ leave International Fn.lls in the evening, arriving at St. Paul the foflwmfl forenoon, abuut 10 o'cloc install this train but instead granted he week-end train for Saturday and Sunday nights. ~This train, as an experiment, has proven a success and it is confidentally believed by the people of Bemidji that a night train each night to and from the city would also prove to be a success; and it is hoped that the railway company will install this night train Will Be Union Picnic. The Presbyterian church and Sun- day school picnic, which was to have been held today, has been postponed until tomorrow (Thm’s~ day) providing weather conditions do not interfere with the arrange- ments. If it is not favorable weather Thursday the picnic will be held Friday. The Presbyterian bell will be rung an. hour before the boat - leaves. 3 It was sugeested by some of the Methodist brethren. that a union picnic be -held, which, Rev. White states, he and his congregation will be happy to do. Listen for the bell. Issued a- Woli Bounty.
