THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEE Z tistorteal Society: m : X VOLUME 7. NUMBER 158. BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 21, 1909. FORTY CENTS PER MONTH. SO0 SURYEY C OMPLETED TO BEMIDJI FROM EAST M. D. Stoner, City Engineer of Bemidji, Is Official Soo Surveyor Who Has Run the Line Through - Cass Lake to Bemidji. The survey of the line which the Soo railway will in all probability use as its right-of-way through the village of Cass Lake and on west- ward to Bemidji has been completed by M. D. Stoner of this city, whois officially authorized by the Soo com- pany to survey that portion of its Plummer-Moose Lake branch froma point east of Cass Lake to connect with the survey already made in northern Clearwater county, extend- ing to Plummer. Mr. Stoner began his work of surveying on the west shore of Cass lake and ran a line through the vil- lage of Cass Lake from a point north of the Niels sawmill plant, almost due west. This line was continued, parallel- ing the Great Northern railroad and running westward a short dis- tance south of Wolf Lake, almost touching Farris. From this point the line deviates considerably to the north, passing between Midge and Grace lakes and touching the Town of Frohn, thence extending west- ward, still paralleling the G. N. rail-| way,and just missing the low ground west of Rosby,continuing on through the township of Bemidji, passing through the village of Nymore and extending westward through the city of Bemidji, using the south twenty feet of the public highway known as the “Mill Road.” Mr. Stoner had survey yesterday and he stated that the righ-of-way to be used through the City of Bemidiji would necessitate crossing the M. & IL. bridge; the road then extending through the city towards the west. Mr. Stoner stated that it was the intention to have the Soo tracks pass under tke tracks of the M., R. L. & M. railway (Red Lake line) at the same point used by the G. N. railway. Mr. Stoner will continue the sur- vey of the line north and west from Bemidji, toward Plummer, and will join the surveying crew which has already surveyed the line through Clearwater county toward Plummer. The actnal territory through which the line will be run leaving the trestle west of Bemidji has not been definitely settled, but it is more than likeley that the line will continue to parallel the Great Northern for sev- compléted this Douglass Lumber Co.

Francis, has been working in southeastern Beltrami county, for several days past, survey- ing on the so-called national forest reserve, among the crew being S. E. Greeg of this city. This crew is running lines and classifying the land and estimating the timber, for the u:e of the Indian department in determining the choice of allottees who have taken allotments within the confines of the Minnesota national forest reserve, but who have agreed to take other lands in lieu of the “reserve” lands. This crew is subject to orders of John T. Frater, Indian agent at Onigum (the Leech Lake Indian Agency), and has nearly completed its labors. Football Practice Tonight, at Armory. The members of Co. K football team are requested to meet at the Armory this evening, 7:30, to prac- tice for the game at Grand Forks next Sunday. There will be practice every evening, at the same place. —John Hillaby, Mgr. G0. K FOOTBALLISTS T0- PLAY AT “FORKS” SUNDAY Will Go Against Strong Grand Forks ““Tigers.”—Bemidji High Will Play Crookston. The Company K football team will engage in its initial contest of the season at Grand Forks next Sunday, when they will clash with the strongest team' of independent players the “Flickertail” metropolis can get together. While the local players are rather modest as to the result of the game to be played at the “Forx,” yet they are confident that they will make a very good showing, with hopes of winning the contest. It has been impossible to arrange games with any northern Minnesota teams, Grand Rapids refusing to play here and none of the remainder of the teams wanting any of the “game” of the heavy soldier boys. The team has practiced consist- ently and every playér is in excellent condition, and they should give a very good account of themselves at Grand Forks, The players will line up. as fol- lows: > Brenneman, center; Ken Kelly rg. Snelling lg, Edd rt, Lucas It, Stewart re, Lindsey or F. Getchell le; T. Getchell rh, Hanson or Mantor lh, Hoffman or Shook qr, Hillaby fb. The Bemidji High school football team goes to Crookston Friday night-to play a game in the “Queen City” against the Crookston High School eleven. This is the first game which Bemidji has played against Crookston for several years, Three years ago Bemidji defeated Crookston on the local grounds by a small score, but the game was a fair contest. It is expected that Satur- day’s game will be a gruelling one. Judging by relative scores, Be- midji should defeat Crookston. The Bemidji High School team defeated the Fosston High School team by a score o£&11 to 5. Last Sunday the Fosston team won from Crookston by a score of 19 to0. However, comparative scores are “mighty on- sartin,” and are not to be relied up- on in guessing the outcome of a football game. DR. DENTON'S Sleeping Garments us and see if it isn’t so.

The Custom Tailor would charge her $10 or $15 more than our price and the tailor is hard to find who can turn out the workmanship, quality and style that meets ours. Moreover, it is our experience that after a cus- tomer has tried on a few models she invariably selects a style quite different, but fat more becom- ing to her than the one she had in mind.

G. Slocum of this city will not at once be called upon to answer as to hisguilt or innocence of the charges made against him in three indict- ments returned by the late grand jurg, as John F.- Gibbons attorney for Mr. Slocum, has appealed to the supreme court from the decision made by Judge Wright, of the dis- trict court, who decided adversely on the motion of Mr. Gibbons to set aside the indictments. Judge Wright had originally set today as the date when Mr. Slocum should plead to the indictments. In the meantime Attorney Gib- bons gave notice that, pursuant to Section 4509, Revised Laws of Minnesota for the year 1905 and Slocum requested and consented that the court repoyt the Slocum cases and all the proceedings thereto to the supreme court; and that further proceedings by the district court be stayed until the decision of the Supreme court is made, and this request included the proceedings in all three of the indictments. This request was agreed to also by Gounty Attorney McKusick, who stated at the time of the hearing of the motion to set aside the in- dictments that he would refuse to prosecute the cases unless specifically instructed so to do by the court. In granting the request to cer- tify. the proceedings to the supreme court; Judge Wright said, “It, being amendments thereto, the defendant | Higher Tribunal. the opinion‘of the court that the questions of law which have arisen are so important or doubtful asto require the decision of the supreme court.” The‘aflidavits and arguments sub- mitted by Attorney Gibbons in sup- port of his motion to set aside the indictments wetfé of a very sensa- tional eharacter,” charging conspir- acy on the part of the grand jury land a disregard of the rights of Mr. Slocum; and the decision of the supreme court is awaited with much interest. Court was yesterday evening ad- journed until December 14th, when Judge Wright will return to complete some court cases, the jury being dis- charged. Judge Wright remained in Be- midji today to consider a case which it was thought might possibly be settled and there be no need of his services. Judge Wright goes to Park Rapids tomorrow morning, where he will remain over Sunday; and on Tuesday next he will sit in Minneapolis and consider the remaining “boom cases” that are on the calendar. The week following, Judge Wright will relieve ]u‘dge Taylor, and he expects to be there two weeks, at the end of which bhe will relieve Judge Stanton at Grand Rapids, the latter taking charge of the term to be held at Walker-at that time. BIG SOGIAL SESSION OF BEMIDJI ELKS TONIGHT There Will Be Vaudeville, ‘“‘Hand Out” Lunch, and the Usual Good Time. All Elks should be on hand early, tonight, as it is the intention to start the meeting as near 8:15 as possible. —F. §. Lycan, E. R. Bemidii Lodge, No. 1052 B. P. O. Elks, has prepared a lot of good things which will be turned loose this evening for the special bene- fit of those new members who came into the order of late and who are not just acquainted with the manner in whicha good Elk should “browse.” A committee has prepared the “fatted calf” and other things for.a social session; and it is expected that Br’er John G. Morrison, Jr., wlll be present from Red Lake agency to participate in the feast. There will be an interesting pro- gram of vaudeville, impromptu speeches and a possible song by that noted soloist, Br’er John. C.Parker, ‘who has consented, if possible to be present, to sing “‘Asleep in the Deep.” All of these good things will be reeled off after the close of the regular business session. A number of invitations haye been extended to friends of the order who do not belong; and visiting brethren will be welcomed with the ‘‘glad hand” and a “smile”—not the kind that won’t rub off, but that other kind—that rubs in. Report of Death was “‘Garbled.” Mrs. Chas. W. Bunker left this morning for Akeley, having received word that her brother had been killed in the sawmill at that place. A telephone message from Akeley this forenoon explained that the word sent last evening was very much erroneous, the facts being that Leslie Graham, the 3-year-old son of Manley Graham, brother of Mrs. Bunker, had died of scarlet fever, at Akeley last evening. It was unfortunate that the report of the death was so “garbled,” as Mrs. Bunker was nearly prostrated by the report that her brother had been accidentally killed. RAISED FINE POTATOES AT THE “VALLEY FARM” W. A. Cassler Had a Fine Yield This Fall.—Dug and Stored *‘Spuds” Very Rapidly. W. A. Cassler, proprietor of the “Valley Farm,” tells of the fine yield of potatoes which he harvested on his farm this fall. According to Mr. Cassler he re- ceived 2,500 bushels of fine potatoes from a 15-acre field, which were of the New York and Carmen No. 3 varieties. It took thirty-seven hours to dig 2,200 bushels of these potatoes, con- tinued Mr. Cassler. He used a potatoe digger and there were six boys picking potatoes. The “Valley Farm” cousists of 160 acres of land, 90 acres of which is cleared and cropped. Mr. Cass- ler has raised })atatocs, oats, hay and clover on his farm. He states that be is going to en- gage in dairying quite extensively, and will build a large silo for use in his dairying. e MINNESOT; ° HISTORICAL SOCIETY. —iiodis
