Pittsburg R H E a Batteries—Detroit, Mullin and Schmldt Pittsburg, Adams and Gibson. Umpires—Frahk 0’Laughlin of the American League, and J. E. Johnston of the National League. Pittsburg, Oct. 8.—(Special to Pioneer.)—The Detroit, American league champions, and Pittsburg, winners of the National league pennant, met here this afternoon in the opening game of the series which will de- cide the baseball championship of the world of 1909. It was Detroit’s third attempt in as many years to win the greatest honors in organized baseball, as Hughey Jenning’s champions have been defeated by the Chicago Nationals in the last two world’s series. Pittsburg has ot bad an opportunity for contesting for the world’s championship since 1903, when it won the National league pennant and was defeated by the Boston Americans in the big series. There was an enormous crowd at the umpires called *‘play.” Forbes Field, this afternoon, when Every seat had been taken several days ago, and there were thousands turned away who could not be accommodated in the park. Pittsburg is baseball crazy and everv man, woman and child in the “Smoky City” is a ““fan” of the thirty-third degree. A second game will be played here Saturday, when the field of battle will be transferred to Detroit.

MONIES DUE FROM STATE FOR ROAD IMPROVEMENT County Board Informed of Substantial Amounts “Coming”’ from Both the State Auditor’s Office and the Minne- sota State Highway Commission. At a meeting of the board of county commissioners, yesterday afternoon, County Auditor Wilmann reported that it had been discovered by the state auditor and himself that there was the sum of $1,000 due to the county of Beltrami from an appropriation of $1,500 made in 1903 by the state to be used in the construction of roads and bridges in the county. It appears that only $500 of this amount was used and that the unused $1,000 is available. The board authorized Roy K. Bliler, county surveyor and super- intendent of roads, to certify that the amount of $1,000 had been expended on the Kelliher-Shotley road under the contract awarded to 0. B. Olson, which would place the county in a position to draw on the state for the $1,000 balance due on the $1,500 appropriation. ‘The county auditor also submitted a letter from the state highway com- mission in which it was stated that the sum of $1,853 was due Beltrami county from a state appropriation for roads and bridges for the present year. In order to obtain this amount the county must expend three times the $1,853; and it is believed that by November 20, when all county road contracts are required to be completed, it will be shown that Beltrami county has expended the sum of $5,559 (three times the amount of the appropriation) and that the $1,853 will be forthcoming. The county surveyor was instruct- ed to examine the road work done by John Phillips in the Town of Frohn and report to the board at the re- gular meeting in December. The board also appropriated $200 to Quiring township for road improve- ments under the supervision of the town board; $300 to the Town of Spooner ($1,000 was requested); $300 to Grant Valley; $200 to the Town of Bemidji, the latter sum to be expended on the road to begin at the southwest corner of Section 33 and extending tothe east a half a mile. The board also instructed the auditor to advertise for bids for the furnishing of 100 cords of green-cut seasoned jack pine wood and 200 cords of green-cut seasoned birch. The purchasing committee (County Auditor Wilmann and der) were authorized to repair the stone fence around the court house, the dilapidated condition of which has caused so much unfavorable comment. The county board then adjourned until 3 o’clock this afternoon; and this forenoon they took a trip down to the proper location for possible ippi river and which may be built in the near future. Fire at Lengby Was Disastrous One. Further particulars of the disas- trous fire at Lengby would indicate that the sway and, aided by the strong wind which was blowing at the time, literally “licked up” everything burn- able, with the exception of a few minor buildings that stood on the village townsite. It is difficult to estimate the loss at the present time, which is shown to be more that $50,000, about half of ‘which will be covered by insur- ance. When the large gasoline tank in the railway yard was reached by the flames a teriffic explosion occurred, but outside of enlarging the flames to a greater extent, no damage was “fiery element” had full done by the explosion. The conflagration carried burn- ing cinders and embers to a dis- tance of two miles north of Lengby, starting many small fires in the woods thereabouts. Senny LeMars, who fell from one of the burning buildings and was severely injured, has been taken from Bagley to the hospital at Fosston. At last accounts he was getting along nicely and it was not expected that his injuries would terminate fatally. Moral: Insure with Miller Agency. the T.]J. FOR SALE—A business netting a good income.

Before long they were renewing their former friend- Jaques, a Fin- O|ship; and when Jaques’ bed time came he invited Anderson to room with him. Anderson accepted the invitation and both retired. About 2:30 in the morning, Jaques awoke and was surprised to find that his partner had disappeared. His first thought wasof his money. After searching his clothes he found that the “coin” was gone. Jaques hurriedly dressed and within a short while had officer Kennedy on the trail of Anderson, his partner of the night. Just as the last-bound passenger was pnlling out Anderson was spied and brought to the village lock-up. His clothes were thoroughly searched, but to the surprise of the officer and Jaques no money was found. Anderson was kept in jail pend- ing an investigation, and yesterday when officer Brouliette questioned him he broke down and “fessed up.” He said he took the money, all right, but as soon as he learned that an officer was on his trail he grabbed the roll of bills and threw them be- tween two buildings. He gave a description of the buildings and the officer journeyed there to investigate. After a brief search, a number of bills, agrregating almost $100 was found, Anderson was given a hearing yes- terday and bound over to the grand jury.

The committee of the Bemidji Commercial club, which has had charge of the matter of securing the Soo for Bemldji, has worked indefat- igably, and from the outset of their labors were determined that nothing should stand in the way of getting this great independent rail- road for Bemidji. There are still some pieces of land on which final options have not been secured, but it is expected that these will be gotten within a very few days. The committee h»s been hustling in every conceivable way to secure funds and, with the usual Bemidji spirit, the members of the committee are determined that every citizen, whatever his walk in life, shall do- nate his mite:and the result is indeed flattering. This city,whichis one of the young. est of the smaller progressive cities of the state, will have to its credit the act of raising about $20,000 for the securing of a right-of-way through a busy city for an independ- ent railway, giving to its citizens the very best railway facilities of any place in north-central Minnesota. No doubt the actual work of staking out the exact route of the Soo approaching and leaving Be- midji will be completed within the next ten days and ere snow flies Soo operations will be very evident here. The Grand Rapids Herald-Review says of some work which the Soo is doing in the vicinity of Cohasset: “Cohasset is assuming great im- portance asa shipping point, both by rail and water. The Soo line, who are commencing to build a new railroad from Thief River Falls to Duluth, have shipped in dump cars and other tools and material, which will be shipped by boat to McCor- micks ‘logan.’ Some two hundred cars of other equipment will also be shipped in the same ‘manner. *Arriving at the ‘logan’ the mater- ial will be unloaded and hauled over- land to the point where they will begin operations, which is about twenty miles distance from the logan. Capt. Wards steamer, the Undine, has the contract for the hauling. “Sutton & Mackey are unloading several carloads of their big camp outfit, which they are putting in west of ‘Sherry’s arm’ of Pokegama lake. Capt. Ward also has the contract for hauling this out-fit by boat from Co- hasset.” The Subscriptions. Previously acknowledged....$16,605 Bemidji Lodge, No. 1052, B.P. 0.

Archer, the famous dramatic critic says, “It is with A Doll House that Ibsen enters upon his kingdom as a world’s poet.” Those who have read the story or seen the play will agree with Mr. Archer. It isa play of varied emotions and absorbing interest. Miss Nielsen in her portrayal of Nora Helmer has no equal. Others have tried the role and failed. Miss Nielsen brings with her a strong support; her leading man Mr. Norval MacGreagor was for several seasons the leading support of Florence Roberts. Miss Nielsen will play at the City Opera House, Bemidji, on Tuesday Oct. 12. EXCHANGE—160-acre farm, 3% miles from Park Rapids, 50 acres under plow, balance pasture. Mail route and ’phone.
