N. This generally north- westerly work was commenced Aug- ust 1st. From the government dam at Lake Winnibigoshish, the direction followed was generally westward, entering Beltrami county at the ex- treme southeasterly end, crossing the Turtle river near its entrance into Cass lake; thence westerly south of Big lake and northwest, touching the north end of Long lake;thence taking a curve westward and passing be- tween Big and Little Bass lakes, directly west and reaching the Minnesota & International railway grade at a point but a few rods below a big fill-in, at the westerly end of Little Bass lake and directly east of a point but a short distance from the north shore of Lake Bemidji. county, and on to the south shore of Pine lake, avoiding the low lands and “taking to” the ridges. From Pine lake the route pursued will be direct inan almost straight line to Plummer, connecting with the Glenwood-Winnipeg line ten miles south of Thief River Falls. The survey being made by the Bass lake party would complete the northern “air line” from northern Leech lake to Plummer and is a very feasible route. Little difficulty was found locating a good line, with but little grading and filling east of Lake Bemidji to Winnibigoshish dam, al- though there will be several curvesto avoid hills. But the grade proposed does not vary- from the system adopted by the Soo of a three-tenths grade and a small degree of curvature; in fact Soo grades are one- tenth less grade than G. N. grades, the country over, and the Soo has less degree of curvature, making fast time and comparatively easy hauls a feature of the road. DOINGS AMONG BEMIDJI'S COUNTRY NEIGHBORS Live Correspondents of the Pioneer Write the News from Their Clever Western Play Coming. “In Wyoming,” H. E. Pierce & Co.’s great play of western ranch life, will be the attraction at the City Opera House soon.

The new place is neatly finished inside with good fixtures and no doubt a person can get a " good short order meal at any hour. “Mr. Lindeberg expects to secure the old pool hall for his business where he will have ample room to open an up-to-date restaurant. The place now occupied will be removed to the rear of the pool hall making the building all in one.” Subscribe for The Pioneer. DR. FREDERICK A. COOK.

THE GRAND MILLINERY OPENING , GRAND MILLINERY OPENING Pattern Hats THE MILITIA BALL LAST NIGHT WAS A SWELL ONE Armory Was Beautifully Decorated With National Colors.—Splendid Music and Good Crowd. The opening ball given at the Armory last night under the auspices of Company K, Bemidji’s crack com- pany of state militia, was one of the enjoyable social affairs which are remembered afterwards as being es- pecially noteworthy. The ball was given as a sort.of “glad time” because of the securing of the old Coliseum as an Armory for the company; and the committee which had the affair in charge, as well as every member of the com- pany who could possibly be present, put forth every effort to make the occassion a leader of the many “swell” functions which the com- pany has given in the past. The hall was decorated in a beautiful manner, and one could scarcely withhold an involuntary “‘oh” when first gazing at the interior of the Armory.
