The Ploneer has received many compliments, the sincerity of which we have noreason to doubt, on the excellence of the recent souvenir magazine of Beltrami County and Bemidji, which we recently printed and issued. % These complimentary expressions are greatly appreciated, and we are pleased that our efforts were the re- sult of giving general satisfaction. In aletter to the Pioneer, Con- gressman Steenerson says of the edition: “Washington, March 22, 1909. “I am in receipt of the special edition of the Pioneer and:to my mind a nicer boom of any city or surrounding country has never been written. I wish to compliment you, and your staff, upon the excellent work done.” Under the caption of “A Fine Edition,” the Tenstrike Tribune says of the Pioneer’s -souvenir edition: “A copy of the special edition just issued by the Bemidji Daily Pioneer reached us this week, and is the finest we have seen. The edition is neatly gottén up in magazine form and contains 108 pages of the very best material, devoted to the financial, industrial, agricultural and landed interestes of Beltrami and surround- ing counties, embellished with excel- lent half-tone cuts of business men, business buildings, public buildings, churches, and other interesting lake, timber, county and Indian scenes. It is a splendid advertisement for Bemidji and Beltrami county and shows up properly its great advant- ages. *“The Pioneer management is to be congratulated upon the success of such a great undertaking.” As this “boost edition” is a good thing to send away as showing the enterprise of Bemidji, the Pioneer has reserved a limited number of copies which will be sold at the office. As there was a large expense connected with issuing the magazine it has been found necessary to place the price at 50 cents per copy. Art Exhibit For Schools. The Horace K.
