St. Paul, Feb. 6, 11:35 a. m.— (Special to Pioneer)—Chairman Gartside and Hinton, respectively of the house and senate normal sub- committees ‘which will visit the towns looking at the sites proposed for the location of the sixth state normal school, will get together Monday and arrange an intinery of the trip. Chairman Gartside has just stated to me that the trip will undoubtedly be commenced Thursday night and the sub-committees’ will visit Moor- bead, Warren, Thief River Falls, Bemidji, Cass Lake, Park Rapids and Wadena, in the order named, returning to St. Paul sometime Tues- day. It is not probable that the joint committee will accept the offer of Cass Lake to furnish a private car, although McGarry has said™ he would offer one free, as the accept- ance of such a proposition would create an impression that an attempt was beihg made to build up senti- ment in favor of Cass Lake. All we are asking for is an impartial investigation under equal conditions, believing in the integrity and fair- ness of the members who compose the committee. Get busy, Bemidji, and the re- maining towns in northern Minne- sota, and present a united front and clean clothes to the visiting com- mittee, —A. G. Rutledge. 1910 Calendars. The Pioneer - has -added to its large job department a complete line of 1910 calendar samples and merchants and business men of the city and surrounding towns are re quested to save their orders for us V. L. Ellis, who recently pur- chased an interest in the Pioneer, expects to “make” all the northern Minnesota towns in the interests of the paper and the Pioneer solicits of the business men their patronage in this line of work. The Pioneer also carries in stock a large line of office stationery, legal blanks, typewriter ribbons and paper, pencils, etc. The Pioneer job department is the best equipped job plant in north- ern Minnesota. The Pioneer sta- tionery stock s always complete and the business man who leaves his stationery orders with us never makes a mistake, but is assured of the best of work at reasonable prices. Notice to Theatre Goers. The theater goers of this city should not miss the opportunity of seeing the “Monetas Five” at the Brinkman Family theater, who will be here this week only and may never appear in the city again. This is one of the best companies that ever “made” the west and are meet- ing with great approval even among the most skeptical and are drawing packed houses nightly. The pro- gram changed Thursday night so those who attended the first of the week should not miss the program that is being put on the last of the week. Tonight and tomorrow pights being their last in the city you should bear this in mind and not miss this grand opportunity. E. E. McDonald Returns. Attorney E. E. McDonald returned to the city last night by way of Duluth from St. Paul where he has been doing some good work in the interest of northern Minnesota along the lines of establishing a sixth state normal school. Merchants’ Association Formed. Cass Lake, Feb. 6.—(Special to Pioneer.)—An enthusiastic meeting of the business men of the village was held last evening and an as- sociation to be known as ‘“The Business Mens’ Protective Associa- tion of Cass Lake” was formed. Che. object 3 protect the dealers from dishonest debtors. For some time it has been the habit of a large number of customers to run up a large bill at one store and then do the same at another. The business men have been una- ware of this and as a result have lost several hundred dollars. Their present system ' is so arranged that as soon as a customer becomes delinquent in hlis payments at one store, all of the association members are notified and he will be unable to get credit elsewhere until his previous debt is settled. The following were elected officers of the association; president, J. E. Tapley; vice-president, C. M. Taylor; treasurer, Geo. Birtch; secretary, R. H. McDonald. Exclusive Ladies’ Furnishing Store. Miss Caroline Hetland, who for the past ten years has been in the employ of A. L. Moody, the leading merchant of Fargo, has formed a co- partnership with her sister, Mrs. Hetland-Fallon in her large millinery establishment here, the new firm to be known as Hetland & Fallon. The rooms which they occupy have been remodelled, and it is their intention to carry a large line of ladies’ furnishings. Miss Hetland’s experience in this department will be proven to the ladies of Bemidji and vicinity when they examine the new and choice line of under-muslins and ladies’ fur- nishings which are now on display at their store rooms, 313 Minnesota avenue, Settlement of County Claims. Coanty Attorney Chester Mc- Kusick, has filed with the county auditor his report as to the dispo- sition of claims-presented to the board at their January meeting, in which he states the county attorney’s duties in regard to claims against the county. In his report, Mr., McKusick recommends the passage of a resolution that all bills be filed with the county auditor at least ten days before the meeting of the the board, and no doubt the board will, at their meeting March 9th, pass all bills as approved by the county attorney.
