THE BEMIDJI D VOLUME 6. NUMBER 295. BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 13, 1909. FORTY CENTS PER MONTH “PIONEER PRINTERY” IS SPLENDIDLY EQUIPPED Consolodation of Record, News and Pioneer Plants Makes Best Printing Plant in North-Central Minnesota.— Big Circulation for Advertisers. Through consolidation with the Bemidji Record, and also by ob- taining the plant of the Beltrami County News, the Pioneer has acquired additional machinery, type, etc., which gives the Pioneer Print- ery the best-equipped printing office in northern Minnesota, outside of Duluth and Crookston, and will enable us to execute commercial printing of all kinds with much better results, both as to the quality of the work and the quantity that can be turned out of the office. By the combining of the printing plants, the Pioneer Printery secures a large amount of new material which is the very best that the type foundries and press manu- facturers are placing on the market. There are two of the best and larg- est cylinder presses owned in north- central Minnesota, together with several different makes of job presses that enable the printer to turn out the finest class of work, from a calling card to a full-sheet poster or a big book. In type, there are many job faces that are cast on the latest-approved plan and are the acme of commercial typography, allowing our patrons a wide variety to select from, assuring satisfaction in this line of work. In the matter of labor-saving material, the Pioneer Printery will be well equipped, there being hun- | entire north-central portion of Min- dreds of pounds of leads and slugs, furniture and other labor saving devices. The Printery will be in charge of competent men who have gained reputations as advanced printers who are ever endeavoring to please the public. As an advertising medium, the! Daily and Weekly Pioneer will have a circulation that will cover the nesota, the paper reaches no less than 3,000 homes of people who purchase their supplies and necessi- ties of life from merchants in their home towns. This means that the business man who desires to reach the buying people can do so to a larger extent through the Pioneer than any other medium in this sec- tion. ‘The Bemidji Weekly Pioneer is the official paper of Beltrami county and the city of Bemidji, wherein are published all of the official pro- ceedings, notices, etc., of the county and city. In this connection we wish to state that advertising rates in the Pioneer will be_reasonable and com- mensurate with the large circulation which is afforded patrons of this company. Those who transact business with the Pioneer will be guaranteed square treatment and the best service avail- able. Motorboat Meeting Friday Night. All those who are interested in in this are requested to meet Friday in the! lobby of the Hotel Markham for the purpose of forming a motorboat club. It is the intention of a large num- ber of local enthusiasts to form this club for the purpose of using meas- ures to keep deadheads and logs out of Lake Bemidji, with the ex- ception of near the mills, and to otherwise improve the conditions in this vicinity for this popular sport. In all probability a clubhouse using motorboats vicinity | gasoline launch. be promoted by the followers of the Such a club would be of great benefit to Bemidji in attracting summer visitors to this ideal outing resort.

A Billings, Montana, paper gives the following account of an injury which was recently sustained by George Fleming, the well-known Bemidji boy who moved to Billings to make his home: “George Fleming, proprietor of the Fleming hardware store, receiveda painful injury Sunday afternoon and is now confined to his home witha broken leg. “Mr. Fleming had just entered the stable to turn his horses loose in the corral, when a broncho, which had been in from the range but'two weeks, kicked him, the hoof striking Mr. Fleming onthe inside of his left leg just above the kneecap. “The blow broke the bone, but Mr. Fleming was able to get out of the way of the animal before it could do him any further injury, Dr. Watkins dressed the injured member and Mr. Fleming is re- ported to be resting easily, although it will be 2 matter of two months before he will be able to be out on crutches. Fortunately the kneecap was not fractured and it is expected that little trouble will be encountered in getting the bones to knit.” Prospective Change in G. N. Time Card. According to the Crookston pa- pers, a slight change is to be made in the time of the arrival and de- parture of both day trains, which run on the Great Northern throuzh Bemidji from Crookston. to Duluth. The Crookston paper -states that the train coming east from Duluth each morning will leave Crookston at 8:35 o’clock, being fifteen minutes later than the time card which is at present in vogue. If the same run- ning time is maintained between Crookston and Bemidji 7it would change the time of the departure of the east-bound train from 12:05 p. m. to 12:20 p. m. By the same-time card the west- bound day passenger train on the G.N. will arrive in Crookston at 6:60 instead of 6:50, as at present, and maintaining the same runing time as now, the train would Jeave here at 3 o’clock, a half an hour earlier than the present time, which is 3:30, E. E. Chamberlain, local agent for the Great Northern, says he knows nothing of any contemplated change of the present time card. K. P. Meeting This Evening. Regular meeting Bemidji Lodge, K.

With the advent of the first bum- ble bee and the man who has seen a “sure-enough” robin, there comes that incurable epidemic, the base-|;; ball fever, which attacks in more or less aggravated form every lover of the great national game in these parts, and the symptons have been greatly aggravated today by the! apperance on the scene of Captatn Charles Kelley, who has been hiber- nating at Fergus Falls during the past winter while he was hatching schemes for this season’s run among fandom. Captain Kelley is known all over the baseball.playing portion of the United States and our foreign pos- sessions as the “‘Diamond King,” because as he truthfuuly says, he has it on most of the ball heavers in the matter of ability to make op- pouents bite the dust while in strenuous battle with bat, ball and mask, - According to what is believed to be authoritive information, Kelley is one of the shrewdest and most efficient baseball managers in the northwest, and his work with Fergus Falls last vear, according to these teports, was little short of marvelous. The noted visitor has a proposition to offer Bemidji “fans” and business men that certainly looks good on the surface. Mr. Kelley says that he is willing to come to Bemidji for this seasion and putin a baseball team that he guarantees will be able to “clean up” any team in this section of the _state, even stating his aggregation would be able to ‘wallop” the strong Hibbing « i bunch.” Kelley states that he wants no sist that his team be furnished the baseball park, free of charge; this is the only co-operation of local business men that he desires—assur- ances that he will have the park at bis disposal. In return for this privilege, Kelley agrees to put inan independent team of ball tossers that will include some of the men who are at the present time playing “out- law” balls, players who cannot play in the leagues of “organized” ball because of some imaginary grievance on the part of the “magnates.” Kelly has furnished newspaper clippings, etc., indicating that he is “some ball player,” and he speaks of having such players as Keister and others of repute. intention to thoroughly advertise Bemidji through the medium of his team, should his scheme be adopted, and it is more than likely that the team will be givera trial to wear Bemidji uniforms. Mr. Kelly will present his propo- sition to those interested in baseball at a regular meeting to be held at the council chambers tomorrow evening; and all “fans” are requested to be present. — Brinkman Bill 1s Strong. The Brinkman Family Theater was crowded last night with a large num- | ber of local people who had read in last evening’s Pioneer that the ‘“‘Sis- ters Batchelor” had returned to Be-| midji for another week’s performance commencing yesterday. The “Sisters,” who appeared here a year ago, were greeted with vocifer- ous applause last evening when they again appeared before .the local public in’their quaint comedy sketch. Drako and his twelve dogs delight- ed the audience with the tricks and intelligence which the animals show- ed. The dogs range from large bloodhounds to the smallest of poodle and Spitz dogs and show a remarkable degree of education and training. Lodged in County Jail. Deputy Sheriff Devereaux of Clear-! water county came in last evening from Bagley with Fredericka Sever- son in custody and lodged the woman in the Beltrami county jail, which is the official “bastile” who was sentenced for fornica- tion to ten years in the state penitentiary ‘during the February term of district court at Bagley. She was sentenced by Judge Mec- Clenahan but a stay of sixty days was granted. The time of the stay having expired yesterday, she was re-arrested and brought to the county jail here. Two More Children in Frohn. Albert Brewer, a well known far- mer living in the Town of Frohn, came in this morning and spent the day-on business in the city.
