THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER PUBLISHED HVERY AFTERNOON, A A A A A A A A A AN A A AN BEMIDJI PIONEER PUBLISHING CO. C. J. PRYOR. @, E. CARSON. A. G. RUTLEDGE, News Editor. ®atered in the postoffice at Bemidji. Minx., second class matter. SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM Norman County Herald: Con- solidation seems to be the order of the day with Northwest newspapers. Last week the Bemidji News, Re- cord, Daily and Weekly Pioneer merged and will be known as the Pioneer. The Pioneer, always a good paper, will be better than ever. Moorhead Daily News: The Be- midji Pioneer has recently issued a special industrial edition, advertis- ing Bemidji and Beltrami county. The edition contains one hundred pages and is profusely illustrated. It is replete with inreresting reading pertaining to that district, and it is a first class typographical job. The people of Bemidji should appreciate the work of the Pioneer in thus bringing before the public the advant- ages of north-central Minnesota, The day is not far distant when “cards of thanks” will be a thing of the past. When death entersa home, neighbors never failto doall in their power to place a silver lining back of the dark cloud, and they do not expect or desire any thanks through the public press. One sub- scriber of a paper on which the writer was employed, however, not to be outdone, sent in the following: “Mr. Editor: I desire to thank the friends and neighbors most heartily in this manner for their co- operation during the illness and death of my late husband, who es- caped from me by the hand of death on last Friday, while eating break- fast. To my friends and all who contributed so willingly toward making the last moments and the funeral a success, I desire to remem- ber most kindly, hoping these lines will find them enjoying the same blessing. I have also a good milch cow and roan gelding horse, 8 years old, which I will sell cheap. ‘God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform. He plants His footsteps on the sea and rides upon the storm.” Also a black and white shoat, cheap.” Such effusions, or their kind, lead one to marvel at the great fullness of human nature in time of trouble. IRISHMEN FIGHT ITALIANS Many Persons Injured in Riot in New York City. New York, April 27.—Fifty or more Irishmen and Italians came together in a race riot at Tenth avenue and Thirty-second street. Order was not restored until an Italian saloon and an Italian grocery store had been wrecked, thirty combatants clubbed by the police and cighteen arrests made.

PAUL The Local Organization Will Be Given Use of Special Sleeper, Next Tuesday Night. - Elkanah Commandery, U. D., of Bemidji will attend the meeting of the Grand Commanderv of Minne- which will be held at St Paul next sota, Wednesday, and it is expected that nearly every member of the roster of thirty-eight will join the party that will leave here next Tuesday night. Arrangements have been made with the M. &I. and N. P. railways whereby a private sleeping car will be left in Bemidji Tuesday evening for the use of members of the Elkanah Commandery who desire to go to St. Paul that night. The train leaves Bemidji at 10:30 p. m., and will arrive at St. Paul at 7:25 Wednesday morning, and be on the ground early for the commandery meeting. Elkanah Commandery was or- ganized one year ago, under special dispensation from the grand com- mandery, and ever since that time the organization has increased in membership and standing until to- day it is a splendid condition. Recently a number of the grand officers inspected the commandery, and while it is not known what the report of this official inspection will be, it is believed that the document will be of a favorable character; at least, suchis opened by the very complimentary informal remarks that were made at the time of the inspection. The officers of Elkanah Command- ery are as follows: Ike Black, eminent commander; W. A. Gould, general- issimo; J. M. Richards, captain general; Rev. H. F, Parshall, prelate; W. R. Mackenzie, secretary; F. S. Lycan, treasurer. STATE LAND SALE HERE ON WEDNESDAY, JUNE 23 Continued from First Page There are also many improved farms in well settled communities that can be bought at very attrac- tive figures, These farms have usually complete sets of buildings and tor those who have the means to buy them, ranging from $20 to $50 per acre, they offer splendid bargains. Another important factor to the intending settler should not be overlooked. Minne- sota has been favored by an intelli gent and thrifty citizenship, It can be truthfully said that our people are by birth or descent representatives of the best types of American and European men and women. In every settlement the church and school house were early established, giving evidence of a God-fearing and enlightened people. “"There are evidences of material advancement and prosperity on every hand which are indeed grati- fying to contemplate, but they are not the sole end and aim of our ex- istence. The higher and better pur- pose of lite have not been neglected. On the contrary, our people have taken a leading partin all that makes for the betterment of human- ity. Our institutions of -learning, churches, schools and hospitals com- pare favorably wiah the best in the land. The Arts, Sciences, Indus- trial and Commercial life of "the state abound alsoin evidences of skill and advancement, and in both public and private life, our people are known to stand for that which is highest and truest, ever defending those principles and ideals which guarantee the safety and protection of the home and nation, “We, therefore, offer to the immigrant good farm lands at a fair price in the prosperous, State of Minnesota. - You add to that a climate absolutely unsurpassed; a soil unequaled in fertility; markets at your very door; all the modern conveniences which go. to make life pleasing and comfortable. You take no risk. You are work- mg for a certainty. The happiest, most contented, most prosperous people on earth are found in Minnesota. Remember that what man has done, man cando. Turn this practical situation over in your mind and act in accordance with your interests. Minnesota land offers honest, thrifty and industrious men unequaled oppor- tunities to secure prosperous homes for themselves and families, ¢“—Samuel G. Iverson, ¢State Auditor.
