THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEE MINNESOTA HISTORICAL 1ETY, VOLUME 7. NUMBER 281. BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 17, 1910. TEN CENTS PER WEEK. INITIAL LIST OF NOMINEES IN THE MAMMOTH RACE Biggest Competition of Its Kind Ever Held in This Part of the State, Starts With a Rush.—Race will Be Tre- mendous.—Room for More Candidates. Never before has a newspaper contest ever excited such general and universal interest among the people of the Northland as has the Bemidji Pioneer’s present $2,500 Prize Contest. The value of the prizes offered is immense and genuine. The $1050 Buick Touring Car is a treasure that, prorerly used and cared for, will last a lifetime and then some. The use and pleasure to be derived from a machine of this character is simply incalculable. There is no pleasure that is so cheap or varied as motoring. Then there are so many uses to which it may be put for business as well as pleasure. This car is not a toy, but is of more use to a family than a horse and buggy, as a rule, and is also a very valuable possession. A Little Trip. This morning the Contest Manager enjoyed the pleasure of a trip to the country with Mr. Jewett in the White Streak, and to say the trip was enjoyable is to put it mildly. The Buick isa real comfort to the motorists because it is specially designed and proportioned for speed, comfort and durance. Speed is the requirement of which the Buick people are justly proud, as the owner of any of the cars can always pass the other machines and, if they like, beat any one in a race. The Contest Manager when asked about the roads, this morning, and how he liked thems said some are good and some are not. However, he could not judge very much from riding in the Buick because one does not mind a rough road, asthe car is such an easy- riding one; then it does not stall in the mud but runs cheerfully on through the very worst ruts. The public has long wanted a car with such dependable qualities and the Buick people have solved the question in the Model 10, and it so fine it seems faultless. Grand Prize. Every lady needs a piano, and here - the chance is offered to you for nothing. The amount of amuse- ment and delight to be derived for oneself and her friends from a fine musical instrument such as the one to be given in this Contest will more than tully repay you for the amount of energy that you may ex- pend in its acquisition. District Prize. The beautiful blue-white diamond ring, valued at $100, that will be given as the DISTRICT PRIZE in District B to some young lady of the Northland, is one of the finest stones of its character ever set or seen in a ring in Bemidji. Cut by a master hand so that the beautiful hues of blue, red and gold, the property of none but the perfect diamond, flashes with effervescent glow that one is unable to describe. Tnough a small stone in compari- son with the many large diamonds one sees now-a-days, it is, neverthe- less, a beauty. No better stone ever came from the Kimberly district of South Africa than that on display now at George T. Baker’s store. Don’t take our word for it; call and see it. It is guaranteed and backed by Mr. Baker. Sub-District Prizes. The acknowledged worth and need of 2 musical education today by ladies is becoming more and more The Store for Young Men We have aimed to deserve this title, by showing distinciive appuarel for the young man who is not satis- fied with ordinary clothes. Our success cannot be doubted. You realize that we are absolute head- quarters for “nobby” apparel, and nowhere else in town will you ever find clothes which possess that same air of elegance which you always find in the clothes exhibited by this store. We specialize ADLER’S Collegian Clothes because we are con- vinced, from actual experience, that no other make possess- es the same amount of character, nor the same high stand- ard of quality. It pleases us to so suc- cessfully cater to the wants of our particular young men. You will be delighted- with the new Spring suits, which are now being shown. by us. 0’Leary-Bowser Co. BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA Basement Basement an established fact. No lady’s edu- cation and social training is com- plete without a knowledge of music. This is a splendid chance to se- cure your long-cherished desires, to obtain your first elementary step or the finishing touches of your musical career. Do not let this opportunity pass by. Opportunity knocks at your door but once in a lifetime. It is knocking now. Are you going to take it in? After careful consideration on the part of the manager of the Bemidj: Pioneer, these scholarships were obtaained of Masten’s Conservatory of Music from the offerings of the entire Northland. The many courses laid out in the various departments and the knowledge of the instructors are invaluable to the student”de- siring to broaden her musical education. There are four of these scholarships, valued at $60 each, which is really worth the best efforts of any young lady in Bemidji to win, Six Gold Watches for Sub-District Prizes. “Aren’t they beauties?” That’s the comment that was overheard by one young lady examining the dis- play of gold watches that are to be given away as sub-district prizes in this Mammoth Contest, at George T. Baker’s store, yesterday. That’s what everyone says; that’s what you will say when you see them. To possess a watch is to possess the treasure ofa lifetime and is the desire of every young lady who is not possessor of one now. Are Worth Trying For. Such valuable prizes are worth a year of industrious, energetic work, let alone five short weeks or so to win, and those who have already entered must bend their energies to accomplish these results. Those who have not already entered this contest are losing valuable time -and you will regret when you find some- one has mnosedout winner ahead of you. Scan the list pub. lished through carefully and see if yourn ame and your sub-district is correctly enrolled and if it should not notify the contest Manager at once. If your nomination blank has not been sent or brought in do not dis- pair but send it at once. Some CONTESTANTS are so eager that they have wired from outside dis- trict making sure that their names are correctly enrolled. This is the proper spirit. You can be sure that these contestants are earnestly at work and do not intend to overlook any opportunity. Nominations Published Today. Today the first list of candidates are published, with the number of votes their nominations entitle them to. Today the first of the votes will be presented. Is Absolutely Fair and Square. And now a word to our friends who live outside the city of Bemidji. Some people are so sceptical by nature that they cannot or will not understand that ABSOLUTE FAIR- NESES is the keynote of the Bemidji Pioneer in this contest. They say, “What's the use; Bemidji people will see that all prizes will stay in the Eity.” That is what "the boys call Tommy-rot.” Such a thing is impossible. Every- one is under the system of dis- tricts and sub-districts and has the same chance. The CAPITAL and GRAND PRIZES will be ‘rewarded, one to the contestant obtaining the largest number of votes in all dis- tricts, one to the contestant obtain- ing the second largest amount of votes in all the districts, The DIS- TRICT prizes will be awarded to the candidate getting the most votes in District Band the scholarship and watches to those who are high- and second highest _in the race in the sub-districts. The Bemidji Pioneer in this con- test, as in everything, is without fear or favor for any person and a Blackduck lady has the same show as the lady at Tenstrike or any other town or village in' the North. land. Noone need fear that they BANK SENDS MONEY DUE ON THE SALE OF BONDS County Treasurer French, by Persist- ent Effort, Forces the Capital National to ““Come In.” Through the persistent efforts of County Treasurer G. H. French, the county of Beltrami has received the balance of the money which 'was on deposit at the. Capital National Bank of St. Paul, funds for taking up certain outstanding warrants, being a part of the original bonding money, which was some $195,000. For some time past Mr. French has been trying to secure the balance of the money, but for one reason or another the bank people at St. Paul would not “come. in,” stating that they had received crders from the trust company which bid for the bonds to check all warrants separ- ately as they were paid and to see to it that no warrants of Beltrami county were - paid that were not “O. k.” The money originally secured for the bonds was to beused for the purpose of funding the outstanding indebtedness; and from the time the bonds were issued until now, there has been more or less “monkeying” on the part of the bond company and the officials of the Capital National Bank of St. Paul, relative to the money. County Treasurer French deserves much credit for securing the balance of the funds, after a series of letter writing that was somewhat caustic at times, difficult to imagine how a prize will not be awarded her. List of Honoz: The list published in this paper today is the honor list. The names that appear there are the names of those who are not afraid, they are the names of the fighters, who jump into the contest; and they are the the names of the wise ones who recognize that the time is too short to waste if they want to win one of the liberal prizes offered by the Bemidji Pioneer.

FIREMEN WELL PLEASED WITH THE NEW HORSES The Animals Are Rapidly Adapting Themselves to the Requirements of a Fire Team. The members of the Bemidji fire department are exceedingly well pleased with the manher in which the team which was r}é&ntly pur- chased for the use of the depart- ment is accustoming themselves to the work of handling the apparatus in case of fire. There have been several alarms to answer since the team was pur- chased, and in every instance the team has acted like veterans, and the animals are fast becoming im- bued with the spirit of hustle when the bell rings. Garry Brennan has been driving the horses; and every day he has hitched them to the hose wagon and given. them runs of a block and more in practice for responses to fires. At the Dickey tailor shop fire, Tuesday morning, the team had the hose wagon back of the burning shop, in exactly four minutes after the bell rang. This was a splendid effort, and the team is being admired for its work. The horses are called “Charlie” and “Major,” and they readily ans- wer to their names. The are beautiful animals; and the fire boys are proud of them. Notice.

Your money’s worth COMPANY K TO GIVE THEIR ANNUAL BALL ON APRIL 1 Soldier Boys Will Have Something New in the Line of Decorations and Arrangements that Will Eclipse All Former Efforts. ‘The members of Company K, M. N, G., of Bemidji, will give their third annual ball, at the armory Friday night, April 1; and the attempt will. be made to eclipse all previous brilliant affairs of the com- pany in their principal function of the year. A feature of the ball will be the decorations in the Armory, and in naming Scott Stewart as chairman of the decorating committee, the company chose wisely, as Scott isa hustler and a worker. Mr. Stewart will have associated with him as the committee on decorations Warren Gill, William Russell, Hallon Huff- man, Raymond Kreatz, Alex. Doran, Ceorge T. Baker and several others whom he can call upon, which will insure hearty co-operation in trans- forming the Armory into a bower of national colors, the scheme of which will be worked out in secret, to be sprung on the dancers for the first time the night of the ball. The chairmen of the other com- mittees are as follows: Printing, Ralph Lycan; music, Will McDon- ald; finance, Hallon Huffman; re- social freshments, Levi King; reception, Alex Doran; floor, L. E. Lloyd. The boys have employed Profes- sor Harry Masten and his Bemidji orchestra of ten pieces to furnish the music for the ball; and Pro- fessor Masten will get all new music, direct from the publishers, both for the concert numbers prior to the opening dance, and for the different numbers on the dancing program. Professor Masten has promised something out of the ordinary for Captain Otto and his soldier boys. The members of- the company will attend the ball clad in full-dress uniform; and during the night they will give a “musicial drill,” being accompanied in their maneuvers by the orchestra, and giving some- thing unique for the spectators, in the form of a drill with arms. The annual balls heretofore given by the company have been pro- nounced social and financial suc- cesses; and the committees will put forth every effort to surpass previous dances, both in the matter of deco- rations and attendance as well as high class music and the best of attention and courtesy to all. ELK MEETING TONIGHT, A regular meeting of Bemidji Lodge, No. 1052, B. P. O. E,, will be held Thursday night, March 17, when the Annual -Election of Officers will be held; and there will be initiations. Much important business will be transacted; and all members are urged to be present. —F. S. Lycan, E. R. Local news on last page. New Nozzles for Firemen. A number of new nozzles have been received for theuse of the fire department, which are greatly appreciated by the fire laddies, as, with the new water service and much new hose, new and up-to-date noz- zles were a necessity. There are six nozzles in the sup- ply received, four of which are shut- off nozzles and two are not, whlle two are of the small pattern and will allow a much larger stream of water to be thrown.
