Those who reason that all lumber is alike beeause it looks alike, have several more guesses coming. There's as much difference in lumber as there is in shoes or clothes, and you don't buy those with your eyes shut, do you? As lumber is supposed to last a long time, quality should be the first consideration in buying. Your money talks here, of course, but what you get for your money, talks more yet, Our rule of quality first—then price—satisfaction always—doesn’t leave any chance of blindfold lumber buying at this yard.

Bemidji Townsite and Im- = provement Company. e St. Pa.ul Minnesota SPEAKERS OF REPUTE T0 SPEAK AT GOUNTY FAIR Tuesday, September 16th , Is *‘Farm- ers’ Day” at the Beltrami County Annual Fair. September 16 (the second day of the fair) has been designated as “Farmers’ Day,” and an especially attractive program has been arranged for that day. Ransom A. Moore, professor of agronomy in the University of Wis* consin, has been engaged to speak on that day. Mr. Moore is an ac- cepted authority on agronomy and he is so recognized by agricultural authorities all over the oountry. Mr. Moore was given special mention by J. J. Hill in the famous address which the railroad magnate de- livered before the Minnesota legis- lature last winter, at which time Mr. Hill called particular attention to thie development of the agricultural sources of the northwest. Mr. Moore’s speech will teem with valu- able information on agronomy. Professor A. J. McGuire of Grand Rapids, superintendent of the North- east Experimental farm, has also been engaged to speak. No man in the state of Minnesota is better qualified to tell the farmers what are the proper methods to pursue in profitable dairying and farming in northern Minnesota. Mr. McGuire has achieved phenominal success at the experimental farm and he has given valuable assistance in develop- ing this section of the state. Prof. Thomas A. Cooper, professor agricultural at the University of Minnesota, and A. D. Wilson, super- intendent of Minnesota Farmers’ Institutes, have been engaged to be present on “‘Farmers Day,” and will deliver speeches on farming, enrich- ing soil, animal husbandry, etc. While these two gentlemen are, personally, very little known in this section, they are thoroughly con- versant with farm conditions here- abouts and will have something good to give fair attendants. All of these speakers will welcome questioning on farm pursuits, and have readily consented to come to Bemidji and assist in making the fair of 09 a big success. Additional Locals White Jacket is pure. T. R. Symons, local agent for the Minneapolis Brewing company, went to Tenstrike last evening on busi- ness for his company. G. F. Ross, the senior member of the logging firm of Ross & Ross, was a visitor in the city yesterday, coming to the city from his home at Duluth. Mrs. A. Gilmour returned to her home at Kelliher last evening. She spent yesterday in Bemidji visiting with old friends whom she had not seen for several months. D. G. Miller, the rustling junior member of the T. J. Miller Insur- ance agency, went to Blackduck last evening, to look after some “biz” which the Miller agency has at that place. F. R. Smithand wife arrived in the city last evening from Minne- apolis and will visit for a week or more at the home of Mrs. Smith’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Kemp. Miss Gladys Kreatz left last night ¥ | for St. Paul, where she will visit until Tuesday, when she will return home in company with her mother, Mrs. G. E. Kreatz, who has been visiting in the twin cities for the past two weeks. Thomas Tedford had no sooner returned home yesterday morning from visiting the state fair than he was ordered to go to Kelliher and take cbarge of the work of establish- ing some camps for the Crookston Lumber compony at a point where they will cut considerable timber this winter, near Kelliher. “Tom” went to Kelliher last evening to pro- ceed with the locating. Pat Kennedy and his crew of three. compass men and three topographers came to the city yester- day from Red lake, where they have been examining and classifying the timber and agricultural lands of the Red Lake reservation, mention of which was made in last evening’s Pioneer. They have finished their work there and Mr. Kennedy’s re- port has gone tq the Indian depart- ment at Washington. Now the depart- ment can act intelligently, ‘accord- ing to information given by Kennedy and his crew, as to how to allot the Red lake lands, if the department sees fit so to do. Police After Reckless Shooters. The police of the city are deter- mined to put a stop to the discharge of firearms within the city limits; and owners of guns of any descrip- tion will do well to consult a plat of the city to know just how far ‘out from “civilization” ihey should jour- ney before “pulling the trigger.” There has been. considerable com- plaint that firearms had been reck- lessly discharged in- the vicinity of Diamond Point; and yesterday the police gathered in four young men of the city who were shooting target rifles near the “Point.” The young men were taken before Municipal Judge Bailey, who fined them $5 and costs for their display of markman- ship. There has been altogether too much of this sort of thing, and the practice has not been conflned to boys, by any means, men of the city who are prominent in business circles have “fractured” this ordin- ance with impunity, and the police should show no favors in dealing with those who persist in using fire- arms witnin the city limits. It is both annoying and dangerous for an unarmed traveler to be compelled to dodge bullets in order to evade hav- ing his “hide” perforated. “A word to the wise is sufficient.” Repairing the ‘‘Yankee Doodle.” W. B. McLachlan, who owns and operates the ‘‘Yankee Doodle,” the staunch gasoline boat that has plied the waters of Lake Bemidji all sum- mer, has laid his boat up fora few daysof rest, during which he will make necessary repairs to the “works.” Mr. “Mac.” is reboring and refit- ting the engine and will give ita thorough overhauling. W. B. states that the ‘‘Yankee Doodle” has been kept “‘on the go,” and has traveled over 6,000 miles during the season, making an aver- age of seventy miles per day, closing the regular mail and passenger ser- vice to Lakeside and Grand Forks Bay September i. The “Yankee Doodle” will be in commission again for freight traffic on the lake early next week. 1. M. Fuller ““Some” Gardner. While J. M. Fuller of this city may not have exactly the very largest vegetables, he has, nevertheless, this summer raised a lot of vegetables that would do credit to the best professional gardner in the U. S. Mr. Fuller has a fine lot of varities and all matured in nice shape. As proof of his superiority as a gardner, Mr. Fuller brought to the writer, a few days ago, a very well developed ripe tomato that scaled the weights at 19 ounces; and Mr. Fuller states that the tomato was not the largest one in the patch, either. This is but another “lie nailed” as to the soil around Bemidji being unfit for agricultural purpose; we raise the best vegetables in the state, right in the city limits of Bemidji.

George Washington Martin .has returned to the city from Alexandria, where he has been for several weeks awaiting the outcome of the charge for horse stealing for which he was arrested here some time ago by Sheriff Hazen and was later taken to Alexandria by Sheriff Lundgren of Douglass County. Martin was acquitted of the charge, in fact when he pleaded not guilty the case was dissmissed by the county attorney of Douglass county and he was set at liberty, last Tuesday. Considerable publicity was given to the fact that Martin had been ar- rested on the charge of horse steal- ing and, considering- the fact that there was apparently no ground for his arrest, Mr. Martin demanis that publicity be given to the fact, also, that the case was dismissed against him. The Pioneer hopes that Mr. Mar- tin will not be seriously damaged by the undue notariety given him throughh is connection with'the case “Why Smith Left Home.” Dr. C. J. Larson, of Drs. Larson & Larson, handed us the following as his contribution to “help fill up the paper.” Just where he got the article, the writer does not know, but it is pretty good, and we reproduce it hoping none will take offence: “A Missouri woman recently rushed into a telegraph office and informed the operator that her hus- band had gone to St. Louis to get a banner for the Sunday school, but she had forgotten to tell him how large the banner was to be or the inscription to be placed upon it. “She then wrote a telegram con- taining the needed information and handed it to the operator. It read: ‘My dear James, Savoy hotel, St. Louis. Unto us a child is born, eight feet long and two feet wide.’ The husband is still in St. Louis and it is rumored that he isn’t coming back.” To Detroit and Return $12.00.

Fritch is the only person under arrest 80 far in connection with the death of Maybelle Millman of Ann Arbor, whose mutilated body was found in a creek near this city. Dr. Fritch is alleged to have performed a criminal operation on the girl and the police are looking for the man responsible for her condition and who furnished her the money to come to this city. The police obtained the information upon which Dr. Fritch wes appre- hended from Miss Martha Henning, Miss Millman’s chum and constant companion, who was brought here from Ann Arbor. The young woman admitted after a vigorous questioning that her previous statements concern- ing Maybelle Millman’s disappearance had been untrue. She it was who sug- gested that Maybelle consult Dr. Fritch and she went with Maybelle to Dr. Fritch’s office after talking to him over the telephone. Miss Henning, it is asserted, left Miss Millman in the doctor’s office and never saw her again. Several days later, Worried be- cause she had heard nothing from Maybelle, Miss Henning inquired for her at Dr. Fritch’s office, but could learn nothing of her whereabouts.

REJUVENATION OF DEMOCRACY Subject Discussed in Con- ference at Saratoga. ALTON B. PARKER PRESENT Organization “Bosses” of New York State Were Not Invited, Although It Was Declared That the Gathering _ Was Not Against Any Leader, State or National, but Was Intended to Furtner True Interests of Party. Saratoga, N.

The shooting occurred in the sleep- ing room occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Sprague. The bullet entered Sprague’s right side, penetrating his liver and lung. The location of the wound is said to be an unusual one to be self- inflicted. Mrs. Sprague said she was awak- ened by the shot and found her hus- band lying huddled up in a corner of the bedroom in his night clothes.

Many of the larger marshes are completely ruined and no attempt will be made at picking. Others have suf- fered a loss of 50 per cent. In the vicinity of Norway Ridge enough dam- age has been done to throw 2,000 peo- ple out of employment in the picking season.
