WANTS TO BRING SHOPS FROM MENOMINIE, WIS. Charles J. Anderson Writes He Is Im- pressed With Bemidji's Commer- cial Advantages. Charles J. Anderson, proprietor of the Menomonie (Wis.) Iron Works is desirious of locating his shops in Bemidji, and is corresponding with local parties relative thereto. Mr. Anderson was a visitor in Bemidji, early last spring, and met with representatives of the Bemidji Commercial club, at which time the matter of moving the shops to this city was discussed. Nothing tang- ible came of the meeting, and Mr. Anderson returned to Menominie. Mr. Anderson was a visitor in Bemidji, and the very apparant solidity and business energy of Bemidji struck him forcibly, for he has written the following letter to C. W. Warfield: “C. W. Warfield, Bemidji “Dear Sir and Friend: writing you a word this morning to inquire how things are coming along Are things picking I have your, town up at Bemidji. up any up there? a good bit on my mind and oft times wish I was up there with my shop, as this town is certainly getting on the bum. “I had an offer yesterday from Chippewa Falls, 35 miles from here, of a free site if I would come there. It is a very good town, about 11,000 inhabitants; no shops there. “Eau Claire has also offered me a site at any part of the town. There are three large shops there, but they want some one who can and will do the custom work as it comes along, which the large shops won’t do, as they have their regular work. “Now both these towns know me. I was born and lived in Eau Claire thirty years. They both have said: ‘If you wantus to, we will give you more than the site.” But somehow, I like Bemidji. “Now why won’t they do some- thing up there? It certainly would be a great benefit to the town; and I am sure.I would not ask anything too much. “Bring this matter before the boys again, and let me hear from you.” i the natural increase that would be 1909 diaries at the Pioneer office|expected, for the most part. (The fall and would be glad to negotiate | pleted the abstract of personal prop-| regarding this abstract, later.) The county auditor this morning received an application for a wolf bounty of $7.50, the application being made by L. D. Guthrie of the village of Turtle River. The board of county commission- ers will meet in special session next Tuesday. The board will at that time consider bids for the construc- tion of two county roads,'one being what is known as the Kelliher- Battle River road, the other being between the Towns of Cormant and Batttle. There will also be a large amount of routine business to trans- act, including the consideration of a big batch of bills against the county. Hunting licenses had not been in any great demand, up to noon today. The last number taken, at noon was the “speculative 13, regarded by some as a “jonah.” This was taken by D. L. Stanton, without a quiver, and he smiled when his attention was called to it, asserting that 13 was his lucky number. Captain A. E. Otto made the first applica- tion for 4 license and his is No. 1. Judge Stanton has had several motions, etc., this week, the particu- lars of which will be given in Mon- day’s Pioneer. An estimate of the expense in- curred by the holding the recent term of court at Baudette shows that about $588 was expended for expenses of jurors, etc.; that the expense of the court officers was about $100 additional—making a sum total of about $700. The north- country people were saved a large sum by the holding of the term at Baudette, the expense in the twenty- two naturalization cases that were allowed being an instance, each being saved an expense of $30 by not having to come to Bemidiji. There were fifteen cases disposed of, 22 naturalization papers were issued, and eleven applications for naturali- zation papers were made that will be considered at the next term. Clerk of Court Rhoda this morn- ing issued a marriage license to Frank Brooks to marry Cora M. Borden. Both are residents of Hines, and the marriage will be at half-price.

JAPANESE COMMISSION WILL PASS THROUGH CITY So Says Pioneer Correspondent at Spokane.—Their Visit to United States Means Much to Commercial Interests of This Country. Spokane, Wash., Sept. 2.—(Special Correspondence of Pioneer.)—Baron Eiichi Shibusawa, who has just reached Puget Sound at the head of the honorary commercial commis- sioners, including bankers, merch- ants and legislators of Tokyo, Yoko- hama, Kyoto, Kobe and Nagoya, is spoken of in the orient as “‘the grand old man of Japanese finance,” and “'the nester of business.” He is ac- companied by the Baroness Shibu- sawa. The party will arrive in Spo- kane the morning of September 11 to remain two days, then continu- ing its journey eastward. The tour will occupy 80 days. The party will pass through Be- midji about the 20th of September. Before his retirement from active Lusiness on his 70th birthday, re. cently, Baron Shibusawa was presi- dent of ten boards of directors, dir- ector of eight companies, adviser of seven, chairman of council of one and counnected with thirty three com- mercial concerns. He formed the first banking company in Japan in 1868, when the present emperor ascended the throne after the war of restoration. As a youth he took service with the last of the Tokugawa Shoguns, and visited Europe in 1867-8, in com- pany with a Tokugawa prince. After the fall of the Shoguns he was called to the service of the emperor and in the first year of the monarch’s reign formed the Kawase Kaisha, a banking company, and Kaik-on Kaisha; a company for bringing the land under cultivation, in obedience to the imperial command, but, owing to the conservatism of the time, neither venture was successful.

Marvelous Bargains in Odd Lots of Summer Goods BERMAN EMPORIUM is now honorary president of the Daiichi Bank of Tokyo. Speaking of the significance of the tour of the Japanese commissioners, Frederick E. Goodall, president of the Spokane chamber of commerce, said. “Important trade results, profit- able to both countries, should come from this tour. The Pacific country has not paid the attention it should have given to the great possibilities for extended commercial relations with the orient, nor have the com- mercial bodies shown the interest naturally expected in efforts to pre- sent statistics of such trade, shipping facilities needed, how to pack, bill and ship goods so as to get the best results, together with comparative freights, ports used and competitors of other countries. On the other hand, Japan has for years made exhaustive study and comprehensive compilation o f statistics to aid the exporters of that country, and it is safe to say that this visit will add materially to the information already gained. “We believe the visit of our dis- tinguished guests from across the Pacific will awaken throughout the United States a realization of what can be accomplished in the upbuild- ing of our foreign commerce, as well as result in continuing the friendly relations now obtaining between the two countries.” The party is making the tour under the auspices of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of the Pacific Coast who some time ago sent Tepre- sentatives to Japan and extended an invitation. for a return visit. The visitors will be accompanied on the trip by fifteen trade experts and these officials of commercial orgaunizatsons; J. D. Lowman and E. F. Blaine, Seattle, F. E. Goodall, Spokane; O. M. Clark. Portland; William Bunker | San Francisco, and Frank Wiggins, Los Angeles. Stealing Bemidji Scenery. The extreme beauty of scenes about Lake Bemidji has become so universally recognized that any imi- tation of our beauty spots or the “stealing” of any of our scenes can be at once detected. And when the Laurence Sanatorium of Minneapolis takes a fine scene at Rocky Point, on the shores of Lake Bemidji, and labels it “Beautiful Lake Minne- tonka,” it is high time we protested. This morning a card came through the mail, on which was printed the advertisement of the Laurence Sanatorium. On thereverse side is the scene at Rocky Point, labeled “Beautiful Lake Minnetonka.” If it is necessary for the drunks, etc.,, in order to be cured of their bad habits, that they shall have to be on the shores of the ‘‘Beautiful Lake Minnetonka” described on the card, then they will be brought to this famous region, where leather lungs are made soft and pliable, and where all desire to put the visible supply of “booze” under one’s belt is done away with through the health-giving ozone of the pines. Christian Endeavor Notable Here. Walter D. Howell, Christian En- deavor field secretary, is in the city and will officiate 2t services which will be held in the Presbyterian church Saturday and Sunday even- ings. Mr. Howell has been highly com- mended by the Presbyterian Synod of Minnesota for his very efficient work in behali of the Endeavor societies, and no doubt the services this evening and Sunday will be largely attended. 1909 Diaries. The Pioneer still has a few 1909 diariesleft which will be closed out at half price. The assortment includes some of the best aswell as the cheap er books. WMINNESOTA | HISTORICAL | SOGIETY. b s iz
