This newspaper and printing and stationary plant has been established for the past thirteen years—from the time when Bemidji was a hamlet. During its six years’ of existence as a daily publication and thirteen years as a weekly, it has exploited every real advantage, both natural and creative, that Bemidji and Bel- trami county- has to offer and for which they are noted.

They confess that The Pioneer has served as a potent factor in bringing prospective home-seekers to Bemidji and Beltrami county; that it has built up men who were deserving and relegated those who were not worthy of public esteem. Withal, The Pioneer has been a loyal public servant, doing yeoman service whenever called upon, and reflecting news ina manner which has won for it widespread notice. * The Pioneer Printery employes from 20 to 25 persons, constantly, seven of whom support families, and the balance are all home people who are firm believers in patronizing home industries.and home institu- tions. During the past year, The Pioneer paid out in salaries for labor alone over $10,000, all of which sum went to support these patrons of home in- dustires and home institutions. The Pioneer is exceedingly loyal to its home city and to the merchants of Bemidji. The Daily and Weekly Pioneer are much sought after by foreign advertisers, many of whom produce articles and goods which come in direct contest with local concerns. Such class of advertisers are firmly retused space in.The Pio- neer, although we have been offered as high as 50 cents per inch for advertisements. The Pioneer carries the largest stock of stationery, supplies of all kinds, printers’ stock, etc., of any similiar concern in northern Minne- sota, and is always prepared to fur- nish all classes of stock to its pa- trons. In the matter of commercial print- ing, The Pioneer Printery is un- excelled in northern Minnesota.

FOOTBALL SATURDAY Grand Rapids and Bemidji High School Elevens Will Battle Here, The Bemidji and Grand Rapids High School football elevens will play their second game of the sea- son in the city Saturday afternoon, at 4 o’clock; and it is expected that the game will be one of the hardest-fought schoo§ gridiron con- tests ever played in . this section of the state. i The first game of the season, which was played at;Grand Rarids an October 2. resulted in a victory for Grand Rapids by a score of 17 “Bill" McDonald-Is Sure Bemidji Will Win from the “Rapids." to 11. The game was very close and it has been claimed that Be- midji should have had the game; however, this is a matter of opinion and Saturday’s game will be played absolutely “on the square” and only the best teams will win—as fair play will be given to both elevens. The Grand Rapids and Bemidji High School football elevens have always played hard games. Last year the first game of the season ended in favor of Grand Rapids, by ascore of 21 to 0. Later in the season Bemidji got back at the Grand Rapids champions and de- feated them, 12 to 6. The Bemidji .High boys claim they will duplicate last year’s feat and defeat Grand Rapids in the return game. No doubt a good-sized crowd will be out to see the game as there is no doubt that the contest will be a close one from beginning to end. The Bemidji High school boys will line up as follows: Brenneman, center; Russell and Hilliard; guards; McDonald and Larson, tackles; Neumann and D. Gould, ends; Kreatz, quarterback (captain) ; Stanton and Gill, half- backs; Lycan, fullback. Grand Rapids will oppose Bemidji in the following positions: Webster Tyndall, center; George O’Brien and Ross McLennan or Ed: Erskine, guards; Ernest O’Toole and Howard Reussvig, tackles; Hugh | Logan and Edward Murphy, ends; Will Powers, quarterback; Ralph Brandon and Tom Erskine, half- backs; Roy Blood (captain) fullback; Hepfel, Graffam and Costello, sub. stitutes. To Pioneer Patrons. Owing to the fact that the Nebraska-Minnesota football game will be played at Nebraska tomorrow afternoon, it will be impossible for the Pioneer to give the score of the game in its Saturday evening’s issue, as the game will not be concluded in time for the paper to get the returns so as to print the results. The Grand Rapids-Bemidji high school game will not be called un- til 4 o’clock and it will be im- possible for the Pioneer to print the score of this game. However, all baseball “fans” who read the Pioneer should not fail to get tomorrow evening’s paper as we shall print the results of the decid- ing game for the baseball cham- pionship of the world which will be played at Detroit tomorrow afternoon between the Pittsburg National League champions and the Detroit Tigers, ‘the pre-eminent American League nine. Company K Will Play at Grand Forks. The Company K football team will play the first game of the season at Grand Forks on Sunday, October 24, when they will line up against the strong Grand Forks Tigers, admittedly one of the most formidable independent football elevens in the northwest. The Company K team, beginning with Sunday morning’s practice, will practice every -evening until the game with the Tigers at the “Forx,” a week from Sunday. Company K has been unable to arrange any games despite the fact that the Grand Rapids team has expressed (on paper) that they would welcome an opportunity to wipe up the gridiron with the Be- midji giants. “JAGK” PETERSON GETS HONORARY OFFIGE AT U, Is Elected President of Junior Class of Dentistry for Second Term. University of Minnesota, Minne- apolis, Oct. 14.—(Special corre- spondence Pioneer.)—One of the ‘cleverest political schemes ever framed in college was executed this morning at the University of Min- nesota when the 1911 “barbarians” elected J. F. Peterson of Bemidji president of the junior class of the college of dentistry -for: -a’second term. Considerable excitement has prevailed among the middle “dents’’ since the beginning of the school year as to whether a fraternity man or a “‘barb” should be placed at the head of the class to succeed Peter- son, a non-fraternity men elected last fall. The air on the campus has been hazy with plots and counterplots. The “barbs” among the junior dental students went into caucus Saturday morning, 41 members out of the class of 70 being present. J. F. Peterson of Bemidji was chosen to be run for president and Frank Hartle of North Dakota was decided upon for vice president. The caucus pledged to support these men. In the mean time three fraternities had picked men to run for office and were working hard for their candidates. When the election was called this morning one of the “frats” saw that they were not strong enough to elect their own candidate and, rather than see one of the other organizations in power, swing over to the “barbarians” and Peterson was elected; receiving 44 votes. His opponent was Fairchilds with 8 votes. Theremaining ballots were scattered. Hartle waselected vice president, as planned, and Paul Hagen of Crooks- ton -was made secretary and treasurer; R. E. Williams, surgeant- at-arms. Encampment Installed Officers. Bemidji Encampment, No. 24, I. 0. O.F., on Wednesday evening in- stalled the following officers of the camp: C. P., Ben Erickson; S. W., A. Huntosh; H. P., Iver Ungstad;Scribe, D. D. Miller; J. W., John Hakkerup. N. Hakkerup, d. d. g. p., acted as installing officer and did his work well. 3 The local encampment is In a prosperous condition and has a large membership.e 5 Wolf Killed Up North. County Auditor Wilmann today issued a wolf bounty to Halvor Nelson, who lives at Wabanica, in the extreme north end of Beltrami county. “Varmints” appear to be plentiful up in the north end of the county; and the $7.50 allowed by the state as wolf bounty is greatly appreciated by the settlers in that section. Bagley, Oct. 15.—(Special to Pio- neer.)—From an authoritive scurce comes information of a somewhat startling character concerning the real intentions of and objectsto be attained through the~work of the corps of railroad surveyors who have been working in the northern part of Clearwater county, and who are at present waiting at their Eamps near Weme postoffice, northwest of Bagley; and this information is to the effect that the surveyors are not in the employ of the Great Northern Railway, as was at first supposed, with intentions of cutting off Soo competition with the Great Northern line running through Bagley, but that these surveyors are really in the employ of the Grand Truank Pacific railway, and are running a line from the international boundary in almost a direct line south to New Ulm, connecting at Bagley with a survey made many years ago from Bagley to New Ulm, According to this latest informa- tion, the line on which the surveyors arenow working connects at Sprague, Manitoba, with the Canadian North- ern Railway, which has but recently been leased by the Grand Trunk Pacific company. Extending directly south, this alleged Grand Trunk survey has been made through Roseau county, striking the- section line between Beltrami 'and Marshal counties, and further south between Beltrami and Red Lake counties to the northwest corner of Clearwater county, thence between Clearwater and Red Lake counties, passing Winsor and Gonvick and going to Weme post- office, in Clearwater county, near which place the surveyors are now “taking it easy,” for the purpose, so it is ‘said, of watching the Soo surveyors and noting the line the Soo will,decide upon in’building its road through Red Lake, and Clear- water counties from Plummer to Bemidji and Moose lake. The reason given for this cut-off of the Grand Trunk railway into U. S. territory is that the Grand Trunk is engaged in a deathly struggle with the Canadian Pacific and the Soo railways for the - trade of Western Canada; that much of the traffic in that section is in American-produced goods and the successful railway must have Ameri- can goods to supply the demand. In its scheme to have a short line from Winnipeg to Chicago, the information concerning the Grand FORTY CENTS PER MONTH. ARE NEW SURVEYS MADE ‘BY GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC Rumors Are Rife that Surveyors Who Are in Clearwater County Are Running Line from Sprague, Mani- toba, to New Ulm. Trunk is that the Grand Trunk, by building a line of railway from Sprague, Manitoba, connecting there with its leased Canadian Northern railway, and running the line to New Ulm, would there be enabled to use the M. & St. L. through arrangement with the Hawley inter- ests,with that railway’s lines running in all directions toward Chicago, Omabha, etc.,, and could -also con- nect at Albert Lea with the Illinois Central, running directly into Chicago, thus giving to the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway a better “air- line” from Winnipeg to Chicago than would be possessed by the com- bined lines of the Canadian Pacific and Soo railways. Thus the war between the two great systems of railway would be extended to United States territory, and with much desirable territory in north-central Minnesota, includ- ing much in Clearwater and Bel- trami counties, as an object of contention. In this connection, it is intimated that the Great Northern officials are not unfriendly to the new element in railway circles in this section(the Grand Trunk Pacific) in its fight against the Canadian Pacific and the Soo. The surveyors have stated to Bagley people that their instructions are to survey no line that is not practically a “surface” road, so as to especially-avoird deep cuts with attendant snow blockades in the winter time, and different grades. They have been given orders to run the line into Bagley if possible, but that three small hills to the north- west of here have interferred. These hills are being overcome, and there is little doubt that the sur- veyors will stake out a line running through Bagley and directly south, touching the west side of Itasca State Park, thence southward towards New Ulm. From a local standpoint, the building of the proposed road would bring Bagley into closer connection with the dairying and farming dis- trict north of here, and would cut the new Soo Plummer-Moose Lake extension off from that section, which at present has no railway outlet and which isadjacent to Bagley business interests. That there is much foundation to the rumor is shown by the activity in real estate here, many lots on the lake having changed hands for the purpose of being on the proposed right-of-way. Married by Rev. H. R. McKee Rev. R. H. McKee, pastor of the local Baptist church, officiated this morning at-the marriage of Thomas Grashaw and Ida Hopper, the wedding ceremony being performed in the polished and finished manner for which Rev. McKee is famous. The marriage occurred at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bolton on Twelfth street, Mr. and Mrs. Grashaw are both residents of Beltrami county. French and Barker Lucky. George French and Albert Barker returned last night from a hunt at Three Island Lake, west of Turtle River. They encountered much bad weather, but did not mind that, as they secured a good bunch of ducks as a reward for their perseverance. They say that there are many ‘hunters in the section which they visited, but not all are as lucky as were Messrs. French and Barker. Local news on last page. 2. Bottled in France. No short measure.
