THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER PUBLISHED HVERY AFTNRNOOK, BEMID!I PIONEER PUBLISHING CO. C. J. PRYOR. G, B. CARSON. Tntered in the postoffice at Bomidjl. Minn., second class matter. SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM —_—_— ADVERTISE IN A MEDIUM THAT WILL BRING RESULTS. The average business man does not advertise his business simply for the purpose of giving the printer and publisher a few dollars as a donation to the.paper, because the editor is poor and “‘needs the money.” While there are a few (fortunately, there are very few) men in business who look upon newspapers as a charitable institutions, yet there is too much of this sentiment exisiting over northern Minnesota. Advertising should be regarded as a business proposition, pure and simple—being a method of telling the public what you have, what it sells for and where it can be secured. And, Mr. Business Man, you want to use a2 medium that reaches the most people, that is subscribed for and read purely for its worth asa disseminater of mews, and which reaches the largest number of read- ers. Such a medium is the Bemidji Pioneer. The circulation of the Pioneer exceeds that of any three papers published in Beltrami county, and the paper is read because it publishes the news, completely and WHEN IT ISNEWS. The Pioneer has readers in every part of the county, and is, therefore, an excel- lent advertising medium. If you want to reach all of the people through a newspaper that the people read, and which has many more readers than any contemporary, you will do well to investigate as to the circulation of the Pioneer, which, through its recent merger with the Record, has a fine list of subscribers. BEMIDJI IS ALL RIGHT. We direct the attention of those who have said naughty words about Beltrami county officials to the fact that the Bible conference is in ses- sion in Bemidji and it is an annual occurrence,—Duluth News Tribune. Yes; and the noted divines from a distance who are attending the Bible conference are actually going about our streets without a_body- guard, and are apparently contented with the belief that we (with special reference to the editorial “WE”) are a God-fearing and highly moral people. Just investigate properly, brother, and you will find that Bemidji and her, people have been grossly maligned by certain St. Paul news- paper folks. CARRIES $8,000,000 IN GOLD Steamer Verdi Sails From New York for Buenos Ayres. New York, July 2:.—Mechanics la- bored all night reinforcing the strong room on board the steamer Verdi, which sailed later with $8,000,000 in gold for the banks in Buenos Ayres and for the Argentine Republic. While no piratical crews are known to be flving the black flag on the Spanish Main at this time the shippers of the treasure arc not taking any chances. Besides the reinforced strong room in which the gold will be sealed during the entire voyage there will be sev- eral heavily armed guards on watch continuously. This is the heaviest single ship ment of gold which has ever been made to South America. The fact that Buenos Ayres has engaged near 1y $40,000,000 from American banks since the first of the year has'led to speculation that perhaps the South’ American republic was preparing it- self for any military emergency which might be presented. IN BEHALF AMERICAN CLAIM Personal Telegram From Taft to Chi- nese Regent. Peking, July 2i—The personal tel- egram sent by Presidenf Taft to Prince Chun, the Chinese regent, in behalf of the American claim for equal participation in the Hankow- Szechuen railroad loan of $27,500,000, has created a sensation among the foreign bankers and members of the legations here. The legations con- cerned affirm that the loan question until now was not recognized diplo- matically, but the impression prevails that the matter now becomes polit- ical. The German financiers threaten to break the concert of bankers. FOREIGN INFLUX ON WANE June Jmmigration Twenty Per Cent Less Than May.
