THE BEMIDJI D VOLUME 6. NUMBER 291. BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, THUB-SDA]? EVENING, APRIL 8, 1909. PIONEER.. THE VETO MESSAGE WAS VERY POINTED DOCUMENT Governor Johnson Did Not “Mince Matters” in Giving His Reasons for Refusing to Sign the Bill to Establish a Normal Schoo! In issuing his message to the lieu- tenant governor vetoing the Cass Lake normal school bill, Governor Johnson said that many of the legis- lators, who voted for the bill under pressure came to him to ask that he veto the measure. He also said the superintendent of public instruction does not approve of Cass Lake as a desirable location for a new normal school. Governor Johnson’s self-explana- tory veto message is as follows: “April 6, 1909. “Hon. A. O. Eberhart, President of the Senate: “Sir:—T have the honor to return herewith, without my approval, sen- | 1 at Cass Lake. 1ate file No. 53, an act to establish a istate normal school at the village of | Cass Lake, in the county of Cass. { “In my judgement there is no }pressinz need for the establishment Eof an additional normal school at | this time. A study of the geographi- | ical condition of the normal schools already established also indicates to a certainty that there is no sufficient reason for the_ establishment of a | school in the immediate section pro- posed. | “Minnesota now has a pedagog- |ical school for the training of teach- lers at the state university. It also has five normal schools; two in Continued on page two. A NIGHT TRAINON M. & L TO TWIN CITIES ASSURED Will Be Installed Next Week, and First Train Will Come North Monday Night.—Necessitated by Increased Bus- iness at International Falls. “Beginning Monday night, April 12th, the M. & I. railway, in con- junction with the N. P., will com- mence the installing of a daily night train between the twin cities and International Falls and intermediate | The exact time card has not been points, including Bemidji,” says G. A. Walker, agent at Bemidji for the Minnesota & International Railway company. For some time past, there have been rumors that a daily night train would be installed on the M. & L. to the twin cities, and the date for the service was generally set for April 1. It was known that increased busi- ness for the road had been necessi- tated by the great activity of the work of installing the big power dam and paper mills at International Falls and much pressure has been brought to bear on the company to put on the night train. It is announced now that the offi- cials of the M. & I. and N. P. recog- nize the necessity for better service for the boundary town and the train | will be put on next Monday evening, runaing north from St. Paul that night as a special and starting the |regular schedule Tuesday night. issued, but it is generally understood that the train will leave Internation- al Falls in time to arrive in Bemidji | between 10 and 11 o’clock in the | evening and will return through this city at about the same time that the week-end special of last year was pulled through here—at 3:40 a. m. It is the intention to bring the train through Bemidji in time to reach the twin cities early the fol- lowing morning so that an entire day can be given for any . north-country merchant to transact his business and return that same night. While the train is installed pri- marly to benefit the International Falls interests, the service will in- directly be a great convenience to Bemidji people, as well.

Reed, the photographer whose views of northern Minnesota | “beauty spots” have made him fam- ous, has decided to make his home in Montana for some time to come. He departed for the west last night and will devote the next few months to looking over Montana with a view to adding to his valuable collection of northwestern views. Mr. Reed has been a resident of Bemidji for the past eight years. From the day of his arrival here, he { began to collect views of the many beautiful lake and wooded scenes, and it was but a brief time until his work began to attract attention and much favorable comment. His photos of summer attractions in and about Bemidji were widely sought for, and Reed’s work has always been in demand. During the past four years, Mr. Reed has been devoting nearly all of his time to a collection of Indian views, and he has succeeded in getting a collection of photographs of Indians, in all manner of cos- tumes and situations. These photos have attracted the attention of art dealers all over the United States, with the result that Mr. Reed deter- mined to dispose of his studio in Bemidji and devote his entire time to collecting Indian views, in which he has been assured of a large income. Chicago people have at- tempted to secure a contract with Mr. Reed for his entire output, but the artist bas determined - to give no person or firm the exclusive right to handle his- “aboriginal” photos. The trip to Montana is for the purpose of securing photos of the reds out there. 2 C. C. Crippen and H. E. Reese have purchased the Reed studio in this city. Both gentlemen are high- class artists, and are worthy suc- cessors to Mr. Reed; and they are fast gaining an enviable reputation for high-class photography.
