Green, Member of Board, in City from IN ITASCA Visit to Park.—Forestry School to be Conducted in the Park Next Summer. Douglas Lodge, Itasca State Park. Prof. Samuel B. Green, who is a member of the State Forestry Board and professor of horticulture in the State Agricultural college, states that most excellent satisfaction is being given by M. Heinzelman and his wife who are in charge of the Itasca State Park; and that con- siderable work is being done in the park this winter. Professor Green was a visitor in Bemidji last evening while on his way home to 5t. Paul from a trip to the Douglas Lodge and other parts of the state park, leaving during the night for St. Paul. Professor Green stated that he bad leit St. Paul Monday morning on a trip to the park; that he had spent two entire days there. Ac- cording to the professor, consider- able dead and down timber is being logged in the southern portion of the park this winter—about one million feet being the estimate of the cut. This timber kas been purchased by the Douglass Lumber company of Bemidji, and the logs will be driven to Bemidji via the Mississippi and LaSalle rivers and Lake Irving. Nothing but timber which is surely “dead and down” is allowed to be logged, and every tree is marked with the letters “F. S.” before being cut into logs. This logging is being done under the per- sonal supervision of Martin Heinzel- man, the park superintendent. The proceeds of the logging on sections 16 and 36 will go to swell the school funds of the state, and the proceeds from the logging on the other sections will be devoted to the maintenance. fund of the park. Much of the dead and down tim- ber which is being logged is that which has been felled by making trails through the forest in the south- ern part of the park. None of the green growing timber is allowed to be cut. Professor Green states that a hot- air heating plant has been installed in Douglas Lodge and that the plant is working very nicely. A summer forestry school will again be conducted in the park, be- ginning sometime during the month of April. This school will be under the direct supervision of E. J. Cheyney and ]. P. Wentling, the latter having recently come to Minne- sota from Pennsylvania. Both Cheyney and Wentling are expert foresters, and the students will have the benefit of their advanced teach- ings in forestry. Pleasant Meeting Swedish Ladies’ Aid. One of the pleasant events of the week was the meeting of the mem- bers of the Swedish Ladies’ Aid society, at the home of Mrs. E. H. Cornwall, Thurday afternoon. The meeting was attended by the largest number of the members in the history of the society. The annual election of officers resulted in the selection of the fol- lowing: President, Mrs. Elmer Al- ton; vice president, Mrs. Kristen- sen; secretary, Mrs. J. Moberg; treasurer, Mrs. T. Thompson. Mrs. Cornwall proved herself a very entertaining hostess; and the lunch that was served was a most sumptuous affair. R ANGE BUYERS! Know what you are buying. Put aside all Prejudice.

The building was worth $2,000, insurance $1,000. The members of the fire depart- ment did heroic work in saving adjoining buildings. They piled snow between the walls and plied the flames with water, confining the fire to the two buildings that were destroyed, despite the fact that entire block of 300 feet on that side of the street was a solid wall of frame buildings. Moral: Insure with the T. J. Miller Insurance Agency. these services. - Everybody invited to attend, ‘and all will be welcomed. Slow Down Speed, You Autoists! “That “someone’s darling” of ten- der years, and even older folks, are in danger of losing life and limb through the somewhat reckless auto- mobiling through the streets of the city, is the gist of several complaints which have been made to the Pio- neer during the past two yeeks, and of which chaffeurs should take heed and reduce the rate of speed of their machines while within' the city limits. The attention of the police has been called to fast automobiling on the streets of the city, and the “boys” have been given instructions to begin the enforcement of the pro- visions of the city ordinance regu- lating the speed of automobiles. The ordiance -provides for. a speed limit not to exceed ten miles an hour; and this would be a snail's pace when compared to some of the hair-raising stunts which have been pulled off in the very heart of the city. The Pioneer is complaining of no one in particular; but ¢a word to the wise is sufficient.” 0dd Fellows Were Surprised. Last evening's meeting of the Bemidji- todge of Odd Fellows was an exceptionally pleasant affair, owing mainly to a. number of the members of the Rebekah lodge who perpetrated a surprise on their ¢‘three-link” brethren and served a splendid luach in the rear of the meetiug-hall The Odd Fellows had" one candi- date " for 'initiation and were kept pretty busily at work on the candi- date and neglected to-lock the out- side door, the Rebekahs taking advantage 'l of ~the situation . to covertly get into the back part of the bulldmg. build a fire and place on the table: some .tempting viands before the “bays” i hall knew what was "up.”. & The degree :team - of the 0dd Fellow lodge is beginning to “round to,” and last mght's work was very good. There -is good material for a| ““crackerjack® degree team and the local lodge will in a short time have a team that will be a credit to the lodge. Walker Folks Wed.

CALL FOR A CONVENTION IS AROUSING ENTHUSIASM Men of Prominence Write Chairman of Committee Assuring Co-operation in Making Development-Re-appor- tionment Convention Great Success. People of note trom all over Minnesota are taking cognizance of the development and re-appor- tionmentment convention which will be held in Bemidji - February 17-18, and W. R. Mackenzie, chairman of the Northern Minne- sota Development association, which is in charge of the conven- tion, is receiving many letters from different sections which in- dicate that the convention will be one of the most important getting- together meets in the history of any section of the states. Today Mr. Mackenzie received a letter from Senator Knute Nel- son, who is mow at Washington, which is as follows, “I have my bands more than - full with the work in connection with committee on public lands, and as chairman of the committee on the Ballinger-Pinchot matter. It will be utterly impossible for me to be present at your meeting as I other- wise would be very glad to do. I hope you will explain the matter to the other gentlemen on your com- mittee.” Charles B. Miller of Duluth, the congressman representing the Eighth district of Minnesota, writes as follows: “It would.give me pleasure to be with you on this occasion, but I will be obliged to remain in Washington all during the session. I send you my best wishes.” H. V. Eva, secretary of the Du- luth Commercial club, says: “will do all that I can to secure a strong delegation from . this sec- tion.” 3 S. J. Moran, cashier of the First National Bank of Deer 'River, in Itasca county, writes: “‘With reference to the Northern Minnesoia Development association, will say that the Business Men’s club are very much in favor of such anorganization: and will see that representatives are on hand at the proper time. It's a move in the right direction, and we feel that Bemidji is deserving of credit for the inspiration.” A. Kaiser, president of the Bagley Commercial club writes as follows: “Clearwater county will send delegates to help push the good work along.” Iver Krohn of Shevlin, chairman of the board of county commissioners of Clearwater county, boosts the meeting as follows: “I assure you that Iam heartily in favor of such a gathering and trust that it will result in great benefits.” Quite a number of the counties of northern Minnesota have sent in a list of names of the delegates who will attend the meeting to be held in Bemidji on February 17 and 18, under the supervision of SENATOR KNUTE NELSON. Writes regrets that he cannot attend Develop- opment-Reapportionment meeting. the Northern Minnesota Develop- ment dssociation, and indications are that at least 200 delegates will attend the convention, and this number is assured, night now, al- though the call for the convention was issued less than a week ago. W. R. Mackenzie, chairman of “Ithe development association, is daily receiving letters commending the calling of the convention and containing assurances from the writers that they will be present and assist in any wav possible to furtner the projectsof development and reapportionment of northern Minnesota, People in all walks of life in northern Minnesota are taking an active interest in the development meeting. This cannot be better in- ‘dicated than was shown by a letter received yesterday by Prof. A. P. Ritchie, superintendent of the Be- midj schools. The letter was written by J. A. Van Dyke, superintendent of the Coleraine schools, and con- tains reference to the convention as follows: “I note by the papers that there is to be a convention on the develop- ment of northern Minnesota 1n Be- midji in February. This is some- thing that I am greatly interested in and if possible I wish 10 attend. If there is anything that I can do to further the interests of the conven- tion, by advertising or assisting in any way, let me konow.” Have Savmgs of Béml of $1.00.
