THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEE VOLUME 6. NUMBER 298. —— BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 16, 1909. PROSPECTS OF MINING ORE AT MALLARD, VERY BRIGHT ELKS ADD TWO MEMBERS; FINE MEET LAST NIGHT Bemidji Lodge Now Numbers 133 Act- Several Drills Are Being Gperated Within a Few Miles of| veMembers.—Subordinate Officers Mallard.—Logging and Progressiug at Mallard. The possibility that iron ore may be discovered in paying quantities near the northern boundary of the Itasca State Park, coupled with | great activity in logging -and other industries, has created something of | a “boom” at Mallard, some twenty- five miles south of Bagley, and pros- pecting for ore has already com-| menced, on a moderate scale, with a possibility that there will be a general “digging” for the ore in the very near future. Harry Sinker, who owns seven farms in the vicinity of Mallard, and who is heavily interésted in Mallard, was in Bemidji yesterday and told of the ore excitement at Mallard and! the boom that would undoubtedly result. A drill bhas been placed on one of Mr. Sinker’s farms, a half mile east of Mallard and several drills are already ‘‘pounding gravel” south of Mallard toward the park. Itis claimed that the tests which have already been made show that there is a strata of ore which will run at Jeast 15 per cent pure ore. This mineral is found in some places near Mallard within a foot of the surface of the ground, and the prediction is freely made that (if the investigations are continued with the intention of operating mines if the ore “pans out” well) open pits will be operated in the Mallard country ere long. But if | ihe steel interests have succeeded in obtaining the mineral rights of]| these lands it is more than likely that the general public will not for years know what is really con- tained in the “bowels of the earth” | near the state park, in the matter of | minerals. There are other enterprises which;‘ Farming Operations Are Mallard among are tending. to make the country thrive, at present, which are extensive logging opera- tions which were pursued the past winter, with the result that there will be driving and shipping of logs and timber of all kinds during the summer months. The Wild Rice, Commonwealth, Weyerhaeuser and Walker & Akeley companies logged near Mallard during the winter, and six more years of logging, at the conclusion of which the farmers in the vicinity will have advanced to the stage where the raising of agricultural products and dairying will place the country on a solid Mallard is reached by a branch line of the Great Northern railway, which extends from a point one miles east of Shevlin through Mal- lard to Long lake, four miles south of Mallard, and which has been used almost exclusively as a logging road. This road will be used to transport many thousands of feet of logs which have been cut and banked on the ice at Long lake, and also logs that farmers have banked along the right-of-way north of Long lake. A large amount of logs will also be taken out of the Mallard district by means of the Mississippi drive, | the logs being driven down the river l from near Lake Irving and Bemidji. | Much of this timber was logged un- | der the supervision of L. Amadon. Mr. Sinker will leave in the near future, in company with his wife, for a visit at his old home in Canada, and expects to return within a month, fully prepared to engage in the busi- ness which increased activity will bring to Mallard. POPULAR BAGLEY YOUNG PEOPLE WERE MARRIED | | Mr. Frank Lohn and Miss Gunda Hough Joined in Wedlock, at Bagley, | Yesterday Noon. Bagley, Pioneer.)—At high noon yesterday was solemnized the marriage of two | 8 of Bagley’s most popular and prom- | inent young people, when Miss Gunda Hough and Mr. Frank Lohn were united in the holy bonds of wedlock. The wedding was a quiet affair, i and only a few of the relatives and close personal friends of the bride and groom were present. At the conclusion of the wedding, the bride and groom departed on their honey- moon trip, which will include visits |§ to many important citiés of the east, Washington (the national capital) being on the itinerary of the newly-wedded pair. While but few were present at the wedding, quite 2 number of Bagley people were at the depot to wish Mr. and Mrs. Lohn godspeed on their jour- ney and all kinds-of happy re- turns. Both the bride and groom are very popular among the residents of Bag- |# ley. Miss Hough has for some time past been a leader among the young people of Bagley in all social matters. She possesses a rare voice and is a singer of much ability and local fame. Mr. Lohn is the paying teller of the First Na- tional Bank of Bagley, and isa son of Lewis Lohn of Fosston, who is heavily interested in banking busi- ness at Fosston, Bagley and other points throughout northern Minn- esota. The groom is a qniet, indus- trious young man of spledid moral habits; and although his contem- plated marriage to Miss Hongh was not generally known prior to the wedding, Mr. Lohn has been heartily congratulated on his good fortune.

Bemidji is to have a dry-cleaning establishment equal to any in the twin cities, according to a statement made this morning by O. A. Hogan- son of Minneapolis. i Messrs. A. O. and J. O. Hoganson, who have been working in the North Star Dye House of Minneapolis for the last five years, have arrived in Bemidji and are making preparations for going into the French dry-clean- ing business in this city. The Hogapson brothers —have leased the stone building between the Reed studio and the Lakeshore hotel for the location of their dye house. One half of their machinery is already here and the remainder will arrive in a few days. They expect to have the entire establish- ment in running order within three weeks. Messrs. Hoganson have learned | the business completely during the five years in which they have been connected with the North Star Dye House of Minneapolis and will doubtless fiil a much-needed want in i this vicinity. Balf Was A Big Success. Company D of the North Dakota National Guard, gave a very suc- cessful ball Wednesday night in the Opera House at Minot. Governor and Mrs. Burk were present and led the Grand March. The function was attended by the leading citizens We solicit the assistance of every | plMinobend eI ownuk as solicit tk o Vi well as a few guests from the twin cities. The proceeds will be added to the fund for the erection of a new |armory. The company is rapidly improv- {ing under their commander, Major Pierson, formerly of the Minnesota i NationalGuard,but who nowis a res- ident of Minot. The governor and his party were entertained at supper uificers, Colonels Scarlet and Mul- I lick. The above will interest local | members of the militia, because of the fact that Major Piersonm, com- the Minot company, was at one time one of the most popular members of the M. N.

A proposition has been made to the Bemidji Commercial club for the establishment here of oneof the largest machine foundries in the northwest, the offer being submitted as their instructor a capable and enterprising musician who will bring the Bemidji band up to the stand- ard of being among the best in this section of the state. A letter was received from Frank Fruend, SOGIETY. | 3t 10c 2 bundle, at Peterson’s.. Wis., who appeared at a meeting of the commericial club held last eve- ning and explained his proposition. Mr. Anderssn stated that he owns a large foundary at Meno- minie. Wis., the machinery being worth not less than $8,000, and as desires to remove from that city, he knew of no more progressive and up-to-date community in which to locate than Bemidji, and he wanted to bring his plant here, if suitable arrangements could be entered into with the commercial club. Accord- ing to Mr. Anderson, the foundry is | equipped to do better work than any similiar enterprise in Crookston or Grand Forks, and the installation of the plant would give employment to a large number of laborers and skilled mechanics. The proposition was taken under advisement, and Mr. Anderson has been looking over the city and this immediate vicinity until a final decision is reached in the matter. Another matter considered by the commercial club is the securing of a competent leader for the Bemidji band, and there is every prospect that the local band boys will in the near future have by C.J. Anderson of Menominie, |leader of the Red Lake Falls band, wherein that gentleman signifies his willingness to “come to Bemidji and assume control of the local band. Fruend has led the Red Lake Falls band for fifteen years past and mide that band one of the very best in the state. Cor- respondence will be had with Fruend and if satisfactory arrangements can be entered into he will be engaged to come here. 5 Mr. Anderson stated that there were two men in Menominie, either of whom, he thought, could be secur- ed to lead the Bemidji band. Mr. Anderson was requested to write these gentlemen, on behalf of the club. A committee of three members of the commercial club was appointed to solicit funds with which to pay the balance due on the Chief Be- midji monument. A communication was read where- ina St. Paul company made a proposition to erect an opera house here and pay for the same out of the receipts from the sale of seats at the opening night. The scheme hardly looked feasible, and the com- munication was laid on the table, for the present. Pupils’ Recital Tonight. Miss Lindeke will give a pupils’ recital at the home of J.

The pictures are all new tonight, and among the excellent subjects to be shown are: “Love is Blind,” “Educating the Blind,” educational; and “The Iron Worker,” dramatic. These are among the world’s greatest productions in film features and add materially to the excellent program put on at that place of amusement.

D., accompanied by his son a nd daughter, arrived in the city yester- day noon, and are forerunners of the several hundred visitors from Fargo, Grand Forks and other points who spend the summer months at beauti- ful Lake Bemidji, and who will be “hieing” this way, shortly. Mr. Chandler was the last member of the summer colony to leave the lake last fall and the first one to arrive this season. Mrs. Chandler will come from Fargo next Monday and the family will occupy their res- idence at Lavinia, on the northeast shore of Lake Bemidji, where they own a splendid summer home. Speaking of Bemidji as a summer resort, Mr. Chandler said to a rep- res entative of the Pioneer yesterday afternoon: “Lake Bemidji is certainly a beautiful summer resort, and I can never seem to get enough of it. I had quite a time in getting to Be midji this season before Dr. J. D. Taylor, the mayor of Grand Forks, who was determined to ‘beat’ me here, but I have managed to get ahead of him and expect to pick out all the good fishing holes before the doctor arrives.” Mr. Chandler has purchased a $2,000 Dingle gasoline launch for use on Lake Bemidji this summer in place of tke steel launch which he used last year. The new boat is thirty-two feet long and one of the most approved makes. It isexpected that the boat will arrive in a month. Interesting Subject. Reverend H. R. McKee of the local Baptist Church will discuss the subject of “Should Christians Keep the Seventh Day?” Sunday even- ing at his church. The public is inyited. All the Sunday papers at Peter- son’s.
