These terminals will be known as district terminals, where all freight handled north and south in Bemidji will be “made up.” There will be a new frame round house, which will have but eight stalls at present with a possibility of being gréatly of the M. & I. railway company, while here yesterday, announced that the M. & I. had decided to run a special train Saturday night, July 3, from International Falls to the Twin Cities in order that all people living along the M. & I. might go to the cities to spend the Fourth. An effort will be made by the executive committee having charge of the Fifth of July celebration here to have the M. &I railway company run a special train north on Sunday night, July 4, so that people living south of Bemidji may come to this to be present, as _|co-operation is necessary to make tLe coming cele- bration a success. | By Order of —THE COMMITTEE.

Davidson and Bert McCauley; civil engireer and assistant of the M. & I, were in the city yesterday and were looking over the site of the old terminals and also the grounds that will be used for the new terminals, The new terminals will be located on the ground north of the wagon road running east from this city towards the poor farm and right directly east of the south shore of Lake Bemidji. There are several acres here which belong to the M. tank, a good-sized machine shop and, in fact, everything needed for on up-to-date district terminal. Mr. Gemmall, in speaking of the improvements said that they would necessitate the expenditure of $28,000 to $30,000; and that the work of installing the terminals will begin just as soon as the plans, which are being prepared, will be eomffleted, which will be in a few days. The installing of these terminals means a whole lot towards the advancement of Bemidji as the rail- way hub of north-central Minnesota. Big Case in Probate Court. Judge of Probate Clark was wrest- ling today with a rather complicated estate which has come up for probate in Iowa, and includes among the assets of the estate 100 acres of land in Beltrami county.

Later(March 10, 1908) Mrs Elvira Clarke, wife of Elisha, also died, leaving an estate. Now, Albert Clarke makes appli- cation to be appointed administrator of the state as it-has bearing in Bel- trami county.

Bemidji Commer’c'ul.Cl\lb and the citizens of Bemidji generally will stand loyally by the Bemidji band under the new leadership of Prof. Harry Masten, and will give the band the financial support and moral encouragement that is neces- arry to sustaina first class musical organization of this kind." This sentiment was amply demon- strated at a meeting of the commer- cial club held yesterday afternoon when A. R. Erickson was appoiated a committee of one to have charge of the monthly subscriptions of the citizens who donate to the support of the band. The Commercial club is also plan- ning an elaborate reception to be tendered to the members of the Great Northern Editorial associa- tion who will visit Bemidji, Thurs- day, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, July IS5, 16,17 and 18;and it is their intention to set aside one ‘The club appointed the following committee to have charge of the banquet: T.

Friends of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Pogue and their family will regret to learn that Mrs. Pogue has been quite ill for two weeks past, and that her condition became worse yesterday; also, her mother, Mrs. Kellogg, is now on a sickbed. What is more, the mayor can’t get a “hired girl,” and is attaining wrinkles on bhis usually placid countenance. If anyone knows of a girl that is willing o do general house work for fair pay, they will confer an everlasting favor by calling up the Pogue home and notifying some member of the family to that effect. Andrew Johnson, deputy sheriff, went to Tenstrike last evening on an official trip. .

McKinnon for license to sell intoxicating . The baseball game last evening between the locals and the Colored Gophers was one of those affairs concerning which it is but charitable on the part of the Pioneer to speak gently of the shortcomings of the Bemidji players, whose lack of practice made them (at least most of them) perform like a scared lot of school boys. The Gophers won the game, with- out half trying, by a score of 10 to 5, and with anything like fair sup- port to the pitcher, the locals could have made the contest an exceeding- ly interesting one to the visiting colored men, who played altogether different from the snappy game which they put up Sunday afternoon. ‘The final score was 10 to 5, in favor of the Gophers, and . the visitors had nothing to “swell “up aboat in getting the'long end of the score. “Monte” Brown vitched most of the game for Bemidji. This was his first appearance in the “box” in two years, and he had thrown but half a dozen balls prior to' the game. He liquors was granted and his bondc,l)had fair control, and when the balls with' J. Streeter, Thomas Moore an Joseph Hummer as sureties, was accepted. The report of the municipal court for the week ending June 26, with $8.70 paid the city treasurer, was accepted. 3 The bill of J. E. Cahill, in the “broke right”” for him, the colored boys had some trouble connecting with the horsehide. = With anything like fair support he would have held the darky sluggers to but few scores. Gallagher, the much-touted ex-Northern league catcher, was affected by the heat of the sun yes- sum of $275, for assessing the city, was allowed, as well as the city payroll for the month of June. ‘Through its secretary, W. R. Mackenzie, the Beltrami County Agricultural association made appli- cation for the privelege of use- ing the streets of Bemidji on September 15-16-17 for the pur- sensational acts during the. three days of the Fourth Annual Fair . of the agricultural association. The application was granted with the proviso that the carnival company would enter into the usual contract with the city, the company to leave the streets in a clean condition and to conduct nothing but orderly shows. 2 The council also granted to the celebration committee the free use of the streets, together with the collection of money for street priv- leges during celebration day, July 5th. “Nabbed” for Disorderly Conduct. The police last evening, at about 8 o’clock, took into their custody a man who gave the name of “Ole Olson” and a woman known as Emma Bowman, together - with a young fellow whose name was unknown at the time, on the charge of disorderly conduct, and lodged the party in jail. They were taken from rooms over a building on Minnesota avenue, while “entertain- ment” is said to have been at’a high stage. ‘ The woman plead guilty this morn- ing and paid a fine, and the two men were to have been given a hearing at 4 o’clock this afternoon. terday and was unable to catch, Eckel going in behind the- plate. “The kid”, caught a fair game, but was, like the majority of the other players, frightened, and his work was slow. Garrison pitched for the Gophers, and he was given rather a warm reception, the locals getting eleven hits off his delivery, one atwo-bagger by Collins. But for a heart-rending ~ exhibition of “bonehead” base run- ning, Bemidji would have had at least four more runs. It was painful to the loyal fan. Garrison struck out five, while Brown and Baum- gardner “fanned” nineof the darkies. The Bemidji “fans” are somewhat disgruntled over the poor showing which the Bemidji team, as a whole, has made durng the two games played against the Gophers, and in all kinduness to the players who wear uniforms for Bemidji, we are entitled to better ball. The Pioneer does not desire to “roast” any individual player, but we are informed that the players have been paid for the most part for their playing each game, and if that is true patrons of of the games are entitled to better exhibitions. The lack of team work and heady playing is due in a large measure to the fact that the players simply will not‘practice. But few of the mem- bers of the team go near the ball ground at any time during the week. They are on hand when the game is called and when the uniforms are removed they keep away from the park. Brace up, boys, and show the “fans” what you can do. There are some excellent players in Bemidii, and with practice no team hereabouts has any licence to get away with any game.
