[Continued from Fisst Page.] with donations towards furnishing or purchasing right-of-way, the following, from the Bemidji Town- site & Improvement company, is indicative of what those who are informed in the matter think of the prospect of the Soo entering Bemidji, even if the cilizens are compelled to furnish valuable right-of-way: “St. Paul, Sept. 18. “W. L. Brooks, Esq., President Com- mercial Club, Bemidji. “Dear Sir—In view of the great benefit which will be secured to the City of Bemidji and its commercial interests if the Soo railroad is in- duced to build its line into the city, and in conjunction with the work being done by your special com- mittee and the citizens generally to bring about this result, the Bemidji Townsite & Improvement company agree to donate to the Soo railroad company for its use as right-of-way, a certain strip 200 feet wide, across what we consider our most valuable properities; providing, your special committee devise ways and means for securing the additional land re- quired by the Soo railroad company for its right-of-way, without any additional expense to this company other than the donation cited. “We believe if the Soo railroad can be induced to build its line into Bemidji at this time, the population of the city will be greatly increased, and its commercial interests will, within a period of ten years, be exceeded by but few cities in the state of Minnesota. *Bemidji Townsite Tmprovement Co, “By E. L. Calihan.” Citizens of Bemidji should not hesitate in their donations to- wards securing the mecessary funds to buy the right-of-way. Don’t wait to find out how much your neighbor is giving; consult your own interests, and realize fully how much the city as a whole will be benefitted by the adventof an independent railway, and give as liberally as your eir- cumstances will permit you to. “Get Busy.” GLEARWATER FAIR AT BAGLEY [Continued from Page 1] W. Foss, Martin Randklev and John Stephenson. C. A. Covey will catch for Bag- ley. Dr. A. W. Falk, he of the 350 pounds avoirdupois in. the human flesh, will pitch. The doctor will oppose Louis Lohn, and as they both became absolutely fearless through chasing ¢‘tigers” in the jungles ot Caledonia, there will be a battle royal between these heavers of the horse hide. E. H. Reff, clerk of court, and who has learned something of the ball through managing the Bagley team, will play with Bagley, as will also the tollowing: Gilbert Olson, P, H. Pederson, A. Kaiser, Arne Higdem, Ole G, Lee, and Charles Heizer. After wrangling for three days, it has finally been decided that John C. Parker of this city shall officiate as “ump.” He was the only honest man whom the contending factions could agree upon, it being a well- known fact that Mr. Parker has for years been assistant editor of Spauld- ing’s Guide. John is absolutely fearless, it beiug related of him that he is the original lumberjack who fought the goat on Grass island. The detonations which have been distinctly heard from the direction of Bagley were not discharges of dynamite. It was only A. Kaiser, of the First National Bank, lining out some of Dr. Falk’s curves with a resounding whack, that sounded like the crack of doom. That will be a great game of ball. "Council Meeting. Beyond the reading of the new ordinance for the electric light franchise, which was submitted for the consideration of the council, and the vacating by the council of part of the “mill road” to Nymore, in order to furnish right-of-way for the contemplated route of the Soo through Bemidji, there was but little “doing” \at the meeting held last evening. The new franchise ordinance, as read last evening, will be given in full in the Pioneer of tomorrow, so that all may read it Card of Thanks. We take this opportunity ot thanking: the many kind friends and neighbors for the help given and sympathy shown, during the last sickness and death of our little daughter, Gretchen. Kind- nesses shown at these times are appreciated and never forgotten, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Sullivan. 1909 Diaries. The Pioneer still has a few 1909 diariesleft which will be closed out at half price.

REGULATION OF CARRIERS Would Prevent One Interstate Rall- road From Owning Stock in a Com- peting Line and Proposes to Put an End to Overissue of Stocks—Favors Glving Shippers the Cholce of Routes in the Shipment of Freight. Des Moines, Ia., Sept. 21.—President, Taft spent a little more than four hours in Des Moines and during that time breakfasted with United States Senator Cummins, one of the “insur- gont” leaders in congress, reviewed an imposing parade of more than 8,000 federal troops and made an open alr address to an immense crowd gathered from all the surrounding country. In the speech he discussed in detail the changes he will recom- mend to congress in the interstate commerce and anti-trust laws. The troops which the president reviewed are engaged in a military tournament here. The president announced that he ‘would urge an Interstate commerce court of five members to consider ap- peals from rates fixed by the inter state commerce commission. He will also recommend legislation to prevent one interstate railroad com- pany from owning stock in a compet- ing line and compelling roads thus owning stock to dispose of their hold- ings within a given time. Legislation to prevent the overissue of stocks and bonds and the watering of stocks will be strongly urged, the president’s propcsition being that no stocks or bonds shall be fssued ex- cept by permission of the interstate commerce commission after an in- quiry has been made into their neces- sity. . Shippers to Choose Route. Glving to shippers the choice of routes in the shipment of freight is another important provision which the president favors. In taking up the anti-trust law Pres- |’ ident Taft declared that he knew of: no way in which a distinction: could be made between “good” and *bad”. trusts, for he regarded all combina- tions to suppress competition and to maintain a monopoly to be in the same category, whether the terms of the illegal contract should be regarded in some instances as “reasonable” or “unreasonable.” The president also discussed at some length the proposal to -except labor unions and farmers’ organiza- tions from the operation of the anti- trust law. To specifically except these organizations, he declared, ‘would be vicious legislation, but he pointed a way in which they could be relieved of some of the onerous re- strictions now placed upon them, but at the same time be held amenable to. injunctions, which form of procedure he believes adequate to deal with any violations by the unions. Lafayette Young joined the presi- dent’s party at St. Paul and accom- panied Mr. Taft to Des Moines. CONTROVERSY IS SUSPENDED No Effort to Run Street Cars While Taft Is in Omaha. Omaha, Sept. 21.—By special re- quest of the president, through his private secretary, no effort will be made to run stret cars during the time the chief executive and party are in the city. A telegram from Private Secretary Carpenter was received by Mayor Dahlman asking whether it was posgl- ble’ that a suspension of the strike controversy be arranged during the president’s visit. _ The mayor consulted President Wat- ‘ties of the street car company, who readily agreed to the proposal. Nonunion conductors and motormen to the number of 125 have arrived from Chicago. It is understood that about 300 more are one the way here. No special effort was made to resume car service. There have been no dis- orders. BLAZE ON PRESIDENT'S CAR Doss No Damage Beyond 8corching the Woodwork. Des Moines, Ia., Sept. 21.—An in- ciplent blaze in the kitchem of the Mayflower, President Taf's car, eaused some little commotion among those on the car who were aware of the presence of the blaze.
