THE BE VOLUME 6. NUMBER 119. MARGARET BO YD DROWNED NORTH SHORE CASS LAKE Little Indian Girl Attempts Turtle River and Per in That Part Cass Lake, Sept. 5.—(Special to Pioneer.)—Margaret Boyd, a 9-year old pupil in the Indian school, located on the north shore of Allen’s Bay, a few miles north of Cass Lake was drowned early this m_oming, i while attempting to cross Turtle| river, near where the stream flows into Cass lake. The little girl desired to go to her home which was on the opposite side of the river. There being no other avialable means of crossing the stream, Margarst started to wade through the water. When the girl hae reached a point about the middle of the river, she sank in a deep hole and was drowned. Only a few small children were present when the drowning occured and before they could summon aid Margaret was dead. There is great need of a bridge at the point where the little Indian girl met her death. There are many settlers residing in that part of Bel- trami county, and they have been to Wade Across Mouth’ of ishes.—Bridge Needed of County. pleading for a bridge across the Turtle river for several years, but their plea is in vain. There is quite a number of farmers in the vicinity, and the fact that considerable land near there is soon to be opened for settlement would appear to appeal more strongly to the right of the claim of the settlers for a bridge, so that they could get their teams across. At the present time the settlers in that part of the county are forced to travel many unnecessary miles in order to reach a market to do their trading. In addition to the demand from the settlers there is a need fora bridge for the use of the scholars of the Indian school, many of whom reside on the opposite side of the river from the school. If the department of Indian affairs would co-operate with the Beltrami county officials, it is likely that a bridge would be erected where desired. WAS SNATCHED FROM | THE JAWS OF DEATH A MONSTER TAPE WORM DESTROYED. Mr. W. M. Washington of Bemidji Tells Wonderful Story. # Office at 411 Bemidji Ave., Will Be| Kept Open Sunday. The tremendous crowds that are attending the free lectures and enter- ment given by the Great Vur- pillat on show grounds, Bemidji avenue and Fourth street, are increasing and at the office at 411 Bemidji Ave., testimonials from local people are pouring in. If anyone should doubt the popu- larity and ability of this young man, a visit to his open air lectures will dispel all doubt. He welcomes “The man from Missouri” and is always willing to “show him.” All day long visitors come in streams to tell what the remedies have done for them in the quiet of their homes. One happy caller was Mr. W. M. Washington, who lives on the Park Rapids road, who brought with him a tin wash basin containing a live tape worm, which he said had passed from his system. In speaking of his case at the office, before fully fifty people, Mr. Washington said: “At times I felt sick all over. I cannot describe with words the awful feeling that came over me. Some mornings I would get up with a bad taste in my mouth. I had a dull, sick headache and pains in the small ot my back, and would some- times feel as if T had a lump in my stomach. “I have been told by physicians that I had a bad case of stomach trouble, and have been taking medi- cine for years, but have never found anything to help me. Inthe last three or four years I have lost in weight over fifty pounds. “I was advised by Mr. Streeter, the laundryman, to try Vurpillat’s New Discovery, and after taking a few doses, I passed this large tape worm, “I feel greatly relieved already and am convinced that this parasite was the cause of my stomach trouble. “I shall always be thankful for the doctor’s visit to Bemidji. yond a doubt he has the most wonderful remedies in the world and I can truthfully recommend them to anyone suffering as I did.” In an interview Vurpillat stated corner of Be.! that his office would be kept open Sunday, for the benefit of working people, from 10 a. m. until 4 p. m. Consultation and advice free to all who care to call. Funkley Being Well Received. Henry Funkley of Bemidji, candi- date for the Republican nomination for Representative of the 61st! district, was a visitor in Shevlin Wednesday on his return from a drive thru the country to Mallard and Alida. Mr., Funldey has make good as'county attorney of Beltrami county and would make a good legis- lator. He is a hustler and we pre- dict that his visit here will be re- warded with a large vote at the primaries. He went over to Bagley from here.—Shevlin Advocate. That is one of the strong points about Mr. Funkley. He is a man of action, and of but few words. He can tell people what he desires them to know without going into five or six columns of harranguing on “hot air,” like his opponent, who is cer- tainly the limit on tiresome talk, in which there is but little that is to the point. “Brevity is the soul of wit;” and our friend Opshal is heavy on @ e long-windedness.” Fine Boy for C. F. Schroeder. C. F. Schroeder, the staunch agri- culturist who tills the soil in Grant Valley township, called up the Pioneer man over the telephome yesterday and was simply boiling over with good nature as the result of the arrival at his place, yesterday, of a nice bouncing fat baby boy that weighed ten pounds. “There is nothing too good for “Charley” and his most estimable better half and the Pioneer will join with the many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Schroeder in wishing the latest addition to the House of Schroeder the best of everything that can come his way in the future. In Municipal Court. Two drunks by the names of Joe McGraw and Ed. Tobin were arraigned this morning before Judge Bailey in municipal court. They were fined $10 and costs or ten days in the county jail but Judge Bailey was merciful and suspended sen- tence on the condition that they leave the city. Postoffice Will Be Closed. As Monday is Labor Day and a legal holiday, the general delivery at the Bemidji postoffice will be 1 closed all day except from the hours of 10 a. m. 12 m. But one delivery will be made by the mail carriers who visit the differe nt parts of the city. Additional local matter will be found on fourth page. [COMPANY: K WILL HoLD ITS SHOOT TOMORROW Fifteen Members of the Company Have Already Qualified as Marksmen, With Score of 98. Company K, of Bemidji’s soldiers in the Minnesota National Gaurd, will hold a shoot tomorrow on the new rifle range at the foot of “Old Baldy” a hill on the west shore of Lake Marquette, about two and one-half miles south of the city. The shoot will be for the purpose of giving the members of the com- pany a chance to qualify as marks- men. The distances which the marksmen will fire targets will be from the 200, 300 and 500 yard marks. In order to qualify as marksmen it is necessary for those participat- ing in the shoot to secure a score of ninety-eight points out of a possible 150. The members of tbe company will wear their Khaki uniforms with belts and rifles and will meet at the armory at 8 o’clock tomorrow morning. Vehicles will be provided for the comissary department and to transport the ladies who wish to accompany the boys to the range. Tomorrow’s shoot will probably be the last practice this season on the range. There. are sixty-seven members enrolled on the Company K’s roster, but about one-third of these mem- bers are absent from the city, either in the North Dakota harvest fields, or visiting at other points. Fifteen members of the company have qualified as marksmen and have made scores as follows: Kelly, 2nd lieutenant, 125; Hillaby, 1st lieutenant; 117; Tardy, private, i17; Halleday, private, 116; Otto, captain, 107; Carlton, private, 106; Meeks, private, 106; Cassler, private, 105; Carson, corporal and company clerk, 103; Preble, corporal, 103; Web; private, 102; C. Johnson, pri- vate, 101; Fisk, quartermaster sergeant, 100; Donaldson, private, 100; Lloyd, artificer, 99. It is expected that the shoot will result in adding several members as marksmen to the company, as undoubtedly several will make better scores than the - required 98 points. N. Netson of LaCrosse, Wis., went to Kelliher last evening to get one of the fine claims which Beltrami county offers to the indus- trious citizen. Satisfaction Guaranteed for now .

S REFORESTATION ADVICE Forestry Commissioner Makes Suggestion to the People of Minnesota as to Method He Would Empley in Conserving the;Natural Forests. STATE SUMMER SCHOOL IN FORESTRY IN ITASCA PARK, Where Advanced Forestry Is Taught, and Where Practical Demonstrations Are Made for the Benefit of Students. The Pioneer has received the fol- lowing communication from Gen. C. C. Andrews, state forestry com- missioner, wherein the latter recom- mends a scheme for reforestation: “St. Paul, Sept. 4. “To The Editor:— “I would ask the insertion in your paper and careful perusal by your readers of the following plan of reforestation, and if it meets their approval that they endeavor to have their senator and representatives in the legislature committed to its sup- port. “The consumption of the pine forests in Minnesota has been going on for over sixty years without adequate measures for reproduction. In about ten years the remaining original pine timber will be gone; and as it requires eighty years for pine to grow to merchantable size on land which would be used for its production, the present generation would be culpable if it longer neglected suitable measures for reforestation. The ordinary revenue has not admitted of adopt- ing such measures. Although the subject has been discussed many years, and there seems to be a friendly sentiment, all that the State of Minnesota has done towards reforestation is the planting of 200 acres. “If the proposed constitutional amendment be submitted to the people it will lead to a discussion of the whole subject, and if the amend- ment should be adopted the tax of three-tenths of a mill, equivalent to only thirty cents on each $1,000 of taxable property, would yield $300,000 annually, and Minnesota would in eighty years have 3,000,000 acres of normal forest, which would be sufficient for her needs. I must make this communication short and cannot enlarge on the many benefits the people of our state would derive therefrom. Your read.rs must think of them and then ask themselves what their posterity will think if they longer delay taking suitable steps for reforestation. “The following is the proposed amendment: “To secure a sustained yield of timber for the use of the people of this State the proper officers shall this State, the proceeds of which shall be used for the purchase of land for the State adopted for forest at not over $5.060 per acre, and for the production and mainten- ance thereon of forest according to forestry principles. Unexpended balances shall not lapse but consti- tute a fund for forestry purposes. The timber produced thereon shall be sold at a fair valuation and the revenue therefrom be paid into the State treasury, except that one: quarter of the net revenue shall be paid to the towns in which the” Tand is situated, in aid of the public schools and roads. Should any tract acquired be found better adap- ted for any other purpose than the production of timber, it may be sold or leased and the proceeds used for acquiring or developing forestry land. Until otherwise directed bv the legislature, which may supple- ment these provisions with necessary enactments, the State Forestry Board shall draw and disburse the money hereby provided and purchase manage and control the lands and forests. No money shall be paid for any tract until the attorney general shall certify to the validity of the title. It shall be competent for two successive regular legislatures, by a two-thirds vote of each house, to alter or repeal any of those pro- visions. “There are some people who think it would be a good policy to (encourage the production of timber by private owners by reducing the tax onland soused. I would not object to an additional amendment to the constitution of a clause in substance like the following to form a part and follow the amendment above recommended: but as the state would have to watch that the ex- empted Jand was being properly forested, I am not inclined to favor exempting more than 80 acres from tax for any seperate owner. “To encourage the production of | timber by private parties, the legis- lature may provide that not ex- ceeding 80 acres of land belonging to any seperate owner and used for the production of timber ina manner which the legislature shall prescribe, shall be taxed only for its value as land; the tim- annually levy and collect a tax of | ber to be exempt from tax until cut. three-tenthsof one mill on each dollar of taxable property within “—C. C. Andrews, ““Forestry Commissioner.” —_— Mayor Pogue Won't Sign Warrants. At 2:35 this aftsrnoon Charles Fisk, clerk of municipal court of this city, approached Mayor Pogue, in front of Frank Lane’s saloon, and said: ~“Mr. Pogue, I have Mr. Bailey’s and my warrants, here. Will you sign them?” ‘Mr. Pogue replied: “No, sir. As I just told these gentlemen I'd be—if I did.” I said that I wouldn’t, and I won’t. ‘neer office. I’'m not sore at you, but this thing was passed right over my head and I was ignored all along.” 2 Mr. Pogue then repeated that he had no ill feeling toward Mr. Fisk personally but he would not sign them. : Mr. Fisk then said: “Well, I had to present them to you, any- way.” Souvenir post cards at the Pio-
