The total estimate for city expenses for the year 1910 amounts to..$30,180 00 The present city clerk has been in office for the past three years and his judgment in the matter of esti- mating the cost for the city is per- haps better than any one man.

The following report was sub- mitted to the council by the commit- tee on salaries: *Bemidji, Minn. Jan. 7, 1910. “To the Honorable City Council, City of Bemidji, Minn. “Gentlemen:—We, the under- signed, committee on salaries, do hereby respectfully recommend that the following salaries be paid to the persons who shall fill the fcllowing named appointive offices for the year 1910. ‘City Attorney... “City Treasure “City Clerk.... . “Superintendent of Water Works, and Clerk of Water Works—one man.... 1*Judge of Munici- $60 per month 30 per month 60 per month 60 per month pal.

It is very incon- venient for parties desiring the ser- vice of the clerk to not be ab'e to find out whether he is in his office or not and being obliged to call at his office It will also be a great convenience for the clerk in answering questions and calling up parties when it is necessary to talk on subjects per- taining to his office. Referring to the office of city physician which, in our opinion, is an appointive office, we recommend that the salary for this office be placed at $1,000 per year; that when said officer is about to be appointed and on his acceptance of office he agrees to furnish, free of charge, transportation of all persons who are city charges and infected with contagious diseases to a place within said city, provided for said persons. In view of the fact that our water system has become so extensive we believe that it requires constant attention from some one person, and that the city will be aided financially in paying a little larger salary to one man than to let water rents go by default. We therefore suggest that this new officer be appointed superintendent of water works and clerk of water works but will consist of one man and he be paid $60 per month. Respectfully submitted, —]J.

OTHERS ARE DUNN OF BRAINERD AND JOHNSTONE OF CROOKSTON Bemidji Representatives Make Many Friends at St. Paul Gathering. St. Paul, Jan. 11. — Special to Pionee.)—Northern Minnesota was the very prominent at second annual meeting of the Minnesota State Fede‘ration of County Fair associations, which was held at the Merchants Hotel Monday, and which was one of the most enthusiastic gatherings of the kind ever held in the state. Thirty-six county fair .associations participated, and the meeting was a most harmonious one, all motions being carried unanimously and the speeches being of the kind that engender enthusiasm, The meeting was called to order by President J. J. Furlong of Owa- tonna, vice president of the Minne- sota State Agricultural society, and whose election as president of the big state fair is confidently predicted by those of the more active delegates who claim to have canvassed the situation thoroughly. J. M. Under wood, ‘Mr. Furlong’s opponent for the presidency of the state fair, was present and patticipated in the meeting. o Headed by the fesoftition com- mitted diplomacy reigned and there was no reference to the fight being waged for presidency of the state fair, although the member- ship was five to one favorable to Furlong. Addresses were made by many of the delegates on topics timely to the successful conducts of fairs, and the following up-country delegates par- ticipated: A. J. McGuire, superin- tendent of the Northeast Experiment Farm at. Grand Rapids; Daniel O’Neil of Thief River Falls, Thomas R. Johnstone of Crookston, W. R. Mackenzie and A. G. Rutledge of Bemidji. The committee on resolutions was composed of the following: J. S. Maloney, W. W. Siviright, C. J. Crowley, A. W. Thompson, W. Clark, A. G. Rutledge, secretary. The resolutions pledged the as- sociation to concerted effort to have doubled amount now appropriated by the state to county fairs and to use every effort to- that effect; thanked Senators "A. D. Stephens and John Zelch, the legislative com- mittee, for past efforts; pledeed allegiance to the Minnesota State Fair and requested that all parts of state be represented on fair board; thanked the officers and recom- mended their re-election. The resolutions were unanimously adopted and the committee given vote of thanks. Officers were re-elected for 1910: President, J. J. Furlong; Vice Presi- dent,- A. S. Maloney; Secretary, John H. Brown; Treasurer, Thos R. Johnstone. A. D. Stephens holds over as Ninth district members of board of John O'Neill of Park Rapids was elected Sixth district representative.

The “All Stars” of Little Falls, one of the strongest independent teams of Northern Minnesota is to meet “‘Big Bemidg’’ Thursday and Friday at Bemidji in .a regular championship game for the honors in Northern Minnesota. The “All Star” team is composed of ex-college men and have always putup a strong fight for its title. Will Collins, formerly of Bemidji played last year with the “All Stars” and it was through his influence that they were matched with “Big Bemidg.” The Bemidji boys are verv confi- dent of victory as they always are and they have generally proved themselves justified in their confi- dence. There seems to be a general senti- ment about town that owing to the loss of Joe Markham and Garnet Peterson the “Big Bemidg” squad would be so demorilized as to be out of their old championship class, but the boys think different. The management is positive in the assertion that the team will be stronger this year than ever though they miss Garnet Peterson especially, who is one of the fastest guards in defensive work in the state, By the way the firemen are backing the team it would seem there must be something to it. Manager Heff- ron insists that there is a sufprise in store for those'who think the team has weakened and he backs up the statement. However it is evident that the team will need all its strength for after the games of next Thursday and Friday with the husky “All Stars” they are booked to meet the much tooted “Triple B’s” of Billings, Montana, with Joe Markhman as their captain, as well as the N. D, University, Co. I. of Superior and all claiments for Northern, Minne- sota championship — Duluth Y. M. C. A. not excepted. For the past two weeks the boys bave been practicing regularly with one or two exceptions. They are lamenting the fact that Brown is not getting out with them but are far from discouraged. . At last nights practice the team showed up remarkably strong and took and kept possession of the ball at will, against the H. S. five. Heffron has five good men who W. | play forwards, five who make good guards and three first class men for center, viz. Forwards, H. Geil, Clark Dick, Heffron, Nord and Gill; guards, Brown, Gill, E. Geil, Gould and McElmeel; center, McElmeel, Brown and Nord. . For Thursday’s game against the *““All Stars,” “Big Bemidg” will line up as follows: Forwards, Nord, Heffron; McElmeel; guards, Brgwn. referee, Prof. Robinson. . ° center, Gill; A. W. Smith With Pierce Chemical Company. Mr. A. W. Smith, 1313 Irvine avenue, will represent the Pierce Chemical company of Chicago. This concern manufactures toilet articles. soap, etc’ of every descrip- tion. Mr. Smith has lived in the city for.ten- years and is well known among Bemidji residents. He ex- pects to make Bemidji a’shipping point for the Pierce Chemical com- pany'and will fill orders for the pres- ent from 1313 Irvine avenue. There are three men out on the road taking orders for this house, under the direction of Mr. He has been in this business for a great many years and is thoroughly. familiar wnth &very detail of the work, It may not be long before Mr. Smith will open up town quarters for both office’and jobbing purposse. George T. Baker, the local jeweler, returned this morning ffrom a tour of the villages to the north of us in | the interest of his jewelery business. Smith. | New Yard Master for M. & I. The Minnesota & International Railway company have appointed as their yardmaster C. N. Shannon of Bemidji. Owing to the great increase in business since the new district ter- minals were built in this city, the M. & L. road is being taxed to the limit. Mr. Shannon is well-known in railroad circles and is capable of fil- ling this position in first-class style.) He was formerly conductor on the | north-end local and is thoroughly familiar with railroad work. Last Night for ““Monkey Shines.” Those who have not attended the Brinkman Family Theater as yet this week should not fail to attend tonight for it will be the last appearance of M’lle Doloras & Co., in one of the leading features of the program, which has been packing the house nightly, pre- senting their novelty jungle act, “Monkey Shines” which has been the talk of the town of late.

BOOZE AND BOTTLES SMASHED BY LARSON Laporte Sbane of Rumpus.—Whiskey Flows Freely at Place of A. M. Jones. RAID MADE BY H. A. LARSON, N. J. SERO AND C. T. JOHNSON. Uncle Sam Means Business When He Gives Orders For Saloons _to ““Dry Up.” The government Indian officials are stlll on the war path. It should be about time that the localities the ‘“dry list” by Uncle Sam be convinced that they cannot “monkey with the booze wagon,” and that the water wagon is the only resort. A tribe of handsome fellows too good to be seen in “gin mills,” raided the place of A. M. Jones at LaPorte the other night and with malicious intent and fiendish glee pounced upon booze and bottles, and smashed them into “nothing- ness.” What a shame it must have been to see the precious stuff flow- ing freely in the dirty gutter. This band of raiders conmsisted of H. A. Larson, leader, and his two assistants, N. J. Sero and C. J. John- son. If the law breakers think it a pleasure for these officials to make these raids they are much mistaken. When TUncle Sam learns that whiskey was shipped- into a certain unforbiden community of this sec- tion, he sends his officers under the able leadership of one H. A. Larson to find the “‘goods” or the “‘empties” Larson generally has the ‘“‘goods” with which to find the “goods” and he seldom fails. Most of the saloon men have learned to know and like him and when they consider the fact that he’s here to do his duty, be it pleasant or otherwise, they should have all the more regard for him. Mr. Larson and his understudies were also busy in Deer River last week. The Itasca News devoted nearly a column to the recent raid upon Walt. Johnson and Jack Jones and McDonald. It stated, that in regard to an inquiry as to the safety of “bitters,” Mr. Larson re- plied that they were safe as he was not after that kind of goods, but peddlers or boot leggers are what he was after. ’ Mr. Larson left for Duluth Mon- day. ordered on Rev. T. S. Kolste, pastor of the Swedish Lutheran church of this city, Jeft last night for his farm nesr Turtle River where he will remain until the last of te week.
