Will Run Specia Train Leaving Bemidji at 9 in the Forenoon. — Many Bemidji people are looking forward with™ anticipated pleasure to the excursion to Red Lake which will be given under the aus- pices of the Minneapolis, Red Lake & Manitoba Railway company, next Sunday, when a special train will leave Bemidji for Redby, and from that place a crowd will be taken to most any point desired on the shores of the famous Red Lake, the largest body of fresh water wholly within the boundaries of the United States. 5 The Red Lake railroad people have given a previous excursion this year, and the affair was very well patronized, the people of the city and many transcients who were Bemidji guests at that time taking advantage of the opportunity to visit one of the most interesting places in the entire state. That excursion was so well enjoyed that the management of the railroad has been prevailed upon to run another excursion. The special train to Redby will leave Bemidji at 9:30 a. m., and returning from Red Lake will arrive in Bemidji at about 9 o’clock in the evening. The new gasoline boat which the railway company owns and which is operated on Red Lake, will be at the disposal of the excursionists, and where the crowd will be taken depends upon the weather. Should the lake be stormy, it is more than likely that but a short trip will be taken on the boat. If the weather is fair, the crowd will be taken to any point on the lake desired. There are so many interesting points to visit on this trip that no one who can should miss the excur- sion. There is the old church and burial groundat Redby, where the Indians for years worshipped ac- cording to their aboriginal ideas; and the Indian agency. a short dis- ltance up the shore f rom Redby is always a place of interest. The fare for the round trip from Bemidji is but $1. Estray Notice. Estrayed from Nebish, Minn, ore lively bay pony. .

DOINGS AMONG BEMIDJI'S COUNTRY NEIGHBORS Live Correspondents of the Pioneer Write the News from Their Localities. Spaulding. A. Harklau of Buzzle vistted with M. Rygg Sunday.

Charley Seaburn, Bill Adams and THE LOGAL RECRUITING OFFIGE 1S ABOLISHED Rather Difficult to Secure Recruits.— Bemidji Was for Years Leading Recruiting Station. Sergeant Eilek, who was in com- mand of the local army recuriting offices, has received orders from Lieutenant Watts of Duluth to abolish the offices here for time being, owing to the lack of tran- scients at present. Sergeant Eilek and Private Head will leave tonight for a posting trip to Cass Lake and Deer River and will then go on to Duluth. Privates Brown and Thompson, also of the local office, will go dir- ectly to Duluth on tonight’s train. Bemidji was, for many years, one of the very best points in ‘the United States, considering its size, for obtaining recruits for the army and the navy. This place was headquarters for a large army of lumberjacks who were employed throughout northern Minnesota. During the winter months these “Jacks” worked in the woods, and in the early spring many of them were induced to enlist. They were fine specimens of man- hood, and the recruits taken from Bemidji were among the very best in the service of “Uncle Sam.” Of late, the army has been recruited so rapidly that the require- ments for enlistment were so string- ent that many who made applica- tions were rejected. This had a tendency to lessen the number of applications. The pay given by the government for service as private in the army is so small that it is no inducement to a man who can make good money in the lumber camps of northern Minn- esota or the harvest fields of the Dakotas. This undoubtedly had much to do ing office. CAMPAIGN BY WATER. Excursion Steamer Manned by Repub- lican Speakers.
