THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER PUBLISHED NVEBY AFTERNOON, BEMIDJI PIONEER PUBLISHING CO. By CLYDE J._PRYOR. Tntered in the postofice at Bemidjl. Minn., as second class matter. SUBSCRIPTION-~$5.00 PER ANNUM BEMIDJI MERCHANTS SHOULD REMEMBER DULUTH. Duluth jobbbing houses enjoy a lucrative patronage from Bemidji. Duluth has antagonized Bemidji’s prospects for securing the location of the proposed sixth normal school, its delegation in the legislature from the Eighth district having gone on record as favoring the village of Cass Lake, in preference to the city of Bemidji, as the proper location for the proposed school. Inasmuch asit is a recognized commercial principle that harmony of action and reciprocity constitute the success of all business houses, it should appear clear fo the mer- chants of Bemidji that Duluth has openly violated these unwritten obligations. While retaliation is not authorized by scriptural injunction, it is, never- theless, a quantity which obtains in all quarters, especially when a city which is receiving a handsome annual business from a given point avails itself of the first opportunity to “bite the hand that fed it.” “A word to the wise is sufficient.” The merchants of Bemidji are not in duty bound to place their orders with Duluth jobbers; and there is no law compelling them to do so. COME ON, BOYS. From the exchanges printed by the editors whoare members of the Great Northern Editorial association, the Pioneer notes mention of the annual outing which the association will enjoy in Bemidji, for an entire week during the month of June, 1909; and allthe “boys” express vleasure in anticipation of a good time. Well, fellows, come on, The Pioneer, the mayor the commercial club and evenybody else who lives and has their being in this metropo- lis of the north-central portion of the| state will unite in a2 welcome; and we will cash every draft on our hos- pitality without the murmur of a protest. Come on, boys—and don’t forget to bring the “girls.” It's just pos- sible that we may be able to get Sister Mary McFadden of the News “Tribune and “Granny” Pease of the Anoka Union to come over for a day or two. CAUSTIC COMMENT. (A. G. Rutledge.] WHEN THE FIGHT STARTS. A man may overlook a lie, But he goes at it, nail and tooth, And you will see how fur will fiy When some one stabs him With the truth. Not only do your Christmas shop- ping early, but make your New Year’s resolution early. A few more war correspondents and there will not be room on Haiti for the revolution to revolute. Count Boni is unquestionably a sorry spectacle; but it must be con- sidered that he needs the money. Putting .the fourth-class post- masters under civil service is merely a move toward getting first-class men for fourth-class jobs. Up to the hour of going to press ex-President Nord Alexis of Haiti had not been approached with an offer of vaudeville bookings. No wonder the French novelists complain of reduced sales. The lat- est airing of the De Sagan-Castellane soiled linen makes even Zola’s thrillers appear bromidic. DECIDES TO MAKE THE TRIP House Committee Will Visit Panama Canal Zone. ‘Washington, Dec. 12.—A trip will be made to the isthmian canal zone by the interstate and foreign com- merce committee, according to a de- zision reached by that committee. It will sail on Dec. 28, probably from Miami; Fla, on a government tug, returning to Washington Jan. 13. The trip is to be made to allow the members to become more thoroughly acquainted with the governmental conditions in the zone. The present government of the zone s regarded as temporary only and the committee may decide that the time has arrived when a permanent code of laws should be drafted for that tarritary TO CURE A'COLD IN ONE DAY, Take LAXATIVE BROMO Quinine Tablets. g 4 d money KQI‘: fails to cure 1909 Dairies at the Pioneer office.

It was necessary to play over time at the end of the half and the visitors were able, through the good work of Lemieux, who threw a field basket, to win the game, the score being I3 to 11 in favor of the visitors. The score should have been 11 to 9, with “Big Bemidg” at the long end of the score. The game was by far the most exciting ever played on the local floor. It was evident that the visit- ing players had counted on “show- ing up” the locals, and when they were held more than even, at the beginning of the game, they resorted to every fine point of the game of which they had knowledge. The visiting captain {Ryan) began “roughing it” from the start, and his especial efforts seemed directed against Brown. The result was a from Blackduck, near where he has been spending the last few days in the company’s camps and attending to the operations in that locality. Reverend H. F. Parshall of Cass Lake, archdeacon of the Episcopal church, returned to the “Lake” this morning on the Bemidji-Sauk Center Great Northern passenger train after attending a Masonic meeting in this city last evening. Mr. and Mrs. Louis Bennington of Cass Lake came over yesterday afternoon and spent a few hours at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. McDonald of this city. Mr.and Mrs. Bennington left on the north- bound passenger train for Northome where they will visit a few days with relatives. Notice of Special Election of Independent School District of Bemidji Whereas a petition has been pre- sented to the undersigned, as Clerk of said District, requesting that a special meeting of the legal voters of said District be called at the time and place, and for the purposes hereinatter set forth, Now therefore, notice is hereby given, That a special meeting of the legal voters of Independent School District of Bemidji will be held at the Central School House located in block four (4) of the First Addition to Bemidji, in the city of Bemidji, Beltrami county, Minnesota, on Wednesday, the 23rd day of Decem- ber, 1908, at four o’clock p. m., the polls to be kept open until eight o’clock p. m. of that day, for the purpose of voting upon the proposi- tion of authorizing the School Board of said District to issue the bonds of said District in the sum of Thirty- five Thousand Dollars ($35,000), in denominations of $1,000, each, bear- ing interest at the rate of five (5) per cent per annum, payable in fif- teen years from date of issue, in- continual “mix-up,” in which Brown was given decidedly the worst of it from the officiating judge of plays. Ryan kept up his tactics all through the game, and was seldom cautioned by the referee. The locals were weakened by the absence of Garnet Peterson, the crack guard, his place being taken hy Brown, who was brought over from center, Heffron going to the middle station. Brown was un- acquainted with the position. Geil(for Bemidji) was unfortunate in attempting to throw free baskets from fouls, missing no less than six in succession, in the - first half. It is sincerely regretted that Referee Gregory allowed his judg- ment to be warped by the captain of his team, and deprived “Big Bemidg” of the two hard-earned scores, and caused the locals the loss of the game, which they de- served by outplaying the visitors. The following was the line-up last evening: Superior Normal—Lemieux and Ryan, forwards; Clarke, center; Johnson and Currie, guards. “Big Bemidge”—Geil and Mark- ham, forwards; Heffron; center: Brown and Biddinger, guards, STATE OF OHI0, CITY OF TOLEDO, Lucas CounTy. .

L — S GETCHELL RE-ASSESSED TOWNS ON WHITE EARTH Continued from First Page auditor issued a wattant' Tuesday. He will now certify the matter up to the- county- auditor and the amount will be figured in the general levy for the operating expenses of the county and when collected paid back to the state. Of ‘course the amount will eventually come out of the lands assessed for under the new rating - the county will receive in additional taxes the sum of $4,148.60 or an amount of $994.90 in excess of the actual cost of obtain- ing the re-assessment. These figures are based upon the the 1908 rate and are of course for but one year, as no additional expense will be necessary in the future. “The adding of this additional valuation to the assembled property of the county, together with the other reservation lands which have been sold by the Indians to specula- tors, and which Auditor Dahlem placed on the books this year, has raised havoc with the county levy, and whereas the rate in 1906 was 8.09, and ‘in 1907 it was 7.36, this year it is but 6.6. **The summing up of theentire mat- ter shows that the board and county auditor have performed their duty in a very creditable manner in so faras listing all the taxable property is concerned, and also in their efforts to secure upon this as fair and equit- able a valuation as possible. “Mr. Getchell is also entitled to commendation for the rapidity and accuracy with which he performed his duties, and it is said by those familiar with the task he has just completed, that the time and money spent will be fully repaid a hundred fold in the years to come. It was not thought that the work would be completed much before the first of the year, so Mr. Getchell exceeded the tax commission’s estimation by almost six weeks. “The taxpayers of the county cannot but be gratified at the results attained by this important action of connty officials, and we trust that they will receive the credit to which they are entitled. “The revision of the figures in the auditor’s office according to the valu- ation as set by Mr. Getchell now show taxable property on the reser- vation amounting to $1,629.406, while the county at large totals $7,159,184™ Dissolution of Partnership. Notice is hereby given that the co-partnership heretofore existing between Thomas Kerrick and F. E. Segar has this day been dissolved by mutual consent.

Harrisburg, Pa, Dec. 12.—A new trial was refused to four of the de- fendants in the capitol conspiracy cases by Judge George Kunkle in the Dauphin county oourt, before whieh the men had been tried. Tle defend- ants are John H. Sanderson, Phila- delphia, the contragtor for the furnish- ings and decorations in the $13,000,000 capitol; James M. Shumaker, Johns- town, who was superintendent of the board of public grounds and buildings during the period of the furnishing of the building; William ' P. Snyder, Spring City, former auditor general of the state, and Willlam L. Mathues, former state treasurer. These men, with Joseph M. Huston, Philadelphia, the architect of the great building, were charged with conspiracy to cheat and defraud the state.in con- nection with furnishing and decorat- ing the capitol, but Huston secured a severance and his trial has not yet come up. The four defendants were tried last spring and were convicted as charged. FORCE LANDS AT GONAIVES New Haytian Government Takes Con- trol of That Place. ‘Washington, Dec. 12—A force of 200 men which landed from a Haytian gunboat took without resistance the town of Gonaives, Hayti, and estab- lished authority there in the name of General 8imon, according to the latest information received by the navy de- partment from Commander Shipley of the cruiser Des Moines, now at Port au Prince, who is in charge of the American naval forces in Haytian wa- ters. The former commander of the Haytlan forces on shore at Gonaives, it is stated, went on board a Ham- burg-American Steam Packet com- pany’s steamer then in the harbor, un- der the combined protection of the consulate corps. A landing party from the gunboat Dolphin was at the wharf at the time, but it was unnec- essary to land, as the United States consulate was in no danger and the American citizens were not being mo- lested.
