Pioneer NORTHERN MINNESOTA-IS NOW BEING REGOGNIZED A Reapportionment Plank Is First Sec- tion of Resolutions at the Con- servation Congress. St. Paul, March 19.—12 M. (Special to Pioneer.)—The last day of the great conservation congress has been fraught with much that is of vital interest to northern Minne- sota; and through the efforts of delegates of this section, the con- gress has been compelled to grace- fully and even heartily concur in de- mands made by northern people. H. V. Eva of Duluth, as chairman, W. R. Mackenzie of Bemidii, as secretary, of the committe on rese- lutions, succeeded in getting into the resolutions for final report to the convention, very strong planks on reaportionment and the consolida- tion and help for rural schools. Thr plank on reapportionment is as follows, and is the very first sec- tion; Be it resolved, that this con- gress recommend and respectfully urge that a reapportionment be made at the coming session of the legislature that shall give to all parts of the state equal representa- tion, both in the senate and the house, according to the population as shown by the United States cen- sus of 1910.” The congress recommends a one- fourth mill tax be adopted by the legislature for roads and bridges, as the constitution now provides, and that the next legislature pass a law providing for a 1 mill tax for that purpose, IS ““SAGE OF TAMARACK” JOINT HEIR TO BIG SUM Possible that Frank Lyon May Get a “Slice” of $50,000,000 Inheritance. There is every probability that Frank Lyon, known, as the “Sage of the Tamarac,” and who lives at the mouth of the Tamarac river, this county, is 2 member of the Lyon family which are the direct descend- ants of the Lyon family in England, a member of which has left a for- tune of something like $50,000,000 to the American branch of the family. Frank Lyon has received a letter from a cousin in New York city who is positive that Mr. Lzon and his immediate relatives are members of the “American branch of the Lyon family,” of which mention is made in the advices from England, as the Lyons were former residents of Connecticut, where it is claimed the original members of the American branch of the family, which came from England, settled and made their homss in Connecticut. In thisletter, Frank Lyon is urged to go back to New York and Con- necticut and trace up his ancestry, as the writer is certain that the “Sage of the Tamarack” is rightfully entitled to a piece of the $50,000,000. A telegram published in a New York paper was enclosed in the letter, in which it was stated that diligent efforts were being made to trace the family that lived in Con- necticut, and asked for information concerning any descendants who may have moved to other parts of the United States. Frank Lyon, the “Sage of the Tamarack,” has long been known as a peculiar character who has lived almost the life of a hermit. He settled at the mouth of the Tamarack river, on the eastern shore of Upper Red lake, far re- moved from any white settlement, at that time, and his only associates were Indians, with an occasional white man as .a transient visitor. There was much logging done in that section, later, and steamboats plied the Red lakes, Lyon getting into touch with the outside world by meaus of these boats and their operators. Always just and kind to the Indians, -he has always been well liked by the Red Lake band, and he today has hundreds of friends among them. Although many settlers have taken up homesteads in the vicinity of the Upper Red Lake, Lyon still lives alone and is as much of hermit as ever.

An exceptionally fine program is now being shown at the Majestic Theatre composed of the following subjects: “Married Over The Wire,” an exceedingly funny comedy. “‘In The Shade of Old Mt.

Bad Luck. “Mother,” said five-year-old Jack, ‘how much older than you is father.” “Just thirteen years,” replied the un- suspecting parent. “Well, mother,” seriously continued the child, “the next time you marry, don’t marry a man thirteen years older than you. Don’t you know it Is bad luck ?”’—Delineator. A Strong Pull. Two men were having an argument as to their respective strengths. “Why,” said the first, “every morn- ing before breakfast I get a bucket and pull up ninety gallons from the well.” “T'hat’s nothing,” retorted the other. “I get a boat every morning and pull up the river.” EMPLOYMENT Able-bodied young men of steady habits can secure good, permanent positions as Motormen and Conductors on the Electric Car Lines in Minneapolis and St. Paul Pay $60 to $80 per month and increasing each year MOTORMEN and CONDUCTORS Healthy, interesting work that a man enjoys.

Hoyle was not really the Inventor of whist, although often so stated to be, but he was the first who introduced sclentific whist to the public. A recent authority says that very little is known of Hoyle’s personal history except that he was a barrister by profession and held the post of registrar of the pre: rogative in Ireland. He was born in 1670 and dled in Cavendish square In 1767 at the advanced age of ninety-sev- en years. He recelved the sum of £1,- 000 from his publisher for his treatise on whist, which ran through five edi- tions in one year and was extensively pirated. Hoyle Is sald to have given lessons in whist at a guinea a lesson. One of his great polnts was the calcu- lation of probabilities at various stages of the rubber. This at first was deem- ed so important in guiding players that a famous mathematiclan used to fre- quent the coffee houses (the old sub- stitute for the modern clubs) and give his opinion on the state of the odds at any stage in a game of whist In return for a small fee from the players.— Glasgow Times. Crossing the Ocean. The following bits of conversation may be heard several thousand times each day: “I think those people down in the steerage have a much better time than we do. But don’t they look just like so many animals?’ “Don’t those clouds over there look Just like land?” “Somebody said we aren’t far from an iceberg, but I don’t know whether 1t’s so or not. You hear so many false reports on shipboard.” “Have you met the captain yet? I hope you didn’t ask him any foolsh questions, poor man!” “No; I haven’t seen a whale yet, but there were lots of porpoises around the ship today.” “Who is that man? I haven’t seen bhim before. He must have come on board-during the night”” (Always fun- ny.) “Did the postman bring you any- thing this morning?” (Sure of a howl) “Is this your first trip to Europe? My, but you have a treat in storel”— Princeton Tiger. As Arranged For Older Children. Miss Mary was the possessor of a diminutive and immature specimen of the Ovis aires, a wool bearing and ru- minant quadruped, whose flesh is high- ly esteemed by persons to whose gus- tatory organs its flavor is agreeable. The shaggy and agglomerated fila- ments constituting in their collective capacity its natural outer covering, in- tegument or garment presented to the vislon a surface absolutely etlolated and albified and rivaling in immacu- lateness the lustrous mantle of crystal- lized vapor that commonly character 1zes the winter landscape. And to whatsoever locality, contigu- ous or remote, whither Mary's vagrant fancy, the call of duty or, perchance, the parental mandate impelled her, when not otherwise engaged, to betake herself, this juvénescent representative of the genus‘OVjs aires, with a fidelity remarkable in one so immature and in- experienced, could be counted upon with absolute and entire certainty to accompany her.—Chicago Tribune, Fortune For Forgers. The last person to suffer death for forgery in London was a Thomas May- nard, who was executed on Dec. 81, 1829. It was not, however, until 1832 that the death penalty for the crime ‘was replaced by transportation, though even then an exception was made in the case of forging or altering. a will. This exception was not removed from the statute book untll 1837. In the days of good Queen Bess a forger of deeds was very severely dealt with. He had to stand in the pillory; his ears were cut off, his nose slit, and he was branded with hot irons. If he survived these ordeals he was doomed to im- prisonment for the rest of his days, and everything he possessed In the world was forfeited to the crown. Burely death would have been far more merciful. Waifs Who Became Famous. ~ The list of waifs who have become famous, says the Delineator, is a long one. It includes Sir Henry Stanley, Queen Catherine the Good, Alexander Hamlilton, Rosa Bonheur, Edgar Allan Poe, Rachel, Leonardo da Vincl and dates back as far as Moses. All these were homeless children—children who 2 left to their fate would undoubtedly have drifted into evil ways. Instead they have lived to add glory to their names and have contributed to the knowledge of the world at large through the fruits of their genius. Smartness. Do not be “smart.” Whenever you See any of your mates showing signs of “smartness” in his work, his talk or his play take him by the hand, or both hands, or by the back of the neck, if necessary, and. lovingly, playfully, but firmly, lead him to a knowledge of higher and more interesting things.

It is almost a trulsm among physi- cians that the intractability of a dis- ease may be measured by the number of “infallible” remedies for it which from time to time have been recom- mended.—London Times.

Manufacturing Jewelers Near the Lake i The Power of Habit. After having been a faithful devotee of the automobile two years or more Mr. Bragdon suddenly was seized with a violent fancy for motor boats, “A beautiful river runs by this town,” he said. “Why not have some enjoyment out of it? In a motor boat you don’t have to dodge policemen: and rural con- stables.” So he bought one, took a day’s ifi- struction in the art of managing it and keeping the machinery In running or- der and started out on his first trip ‘with It one bright morning in July. It was late in 'the afternoon when he returned home. He came in by the back way. His clothes were water soaked, and he had a generally limp and bedraggled appearance. “For pity’s sake, Alfred!” exclaimed his wife. “What has happened to you? Did the boat upset?” “No, Lucy,” he answered. “Don’t say anything about it and I'll tell you. The boat’s all right, but when I had. been out on the water an hour or two something went wrong with the mo- tor.” “Well?” 4 “Well, before I—er—knew what I was dolng I was over the side of the boat and trying to get under it to fix the thing.” A Shrewd Doctor. “This'incident,” said a doctor, “hap- pened in France two or three centu- rles ago, in the days when public criers were always in evidence. There was a physician of Montpelier who used to go from place to place to prac- tice the, healing art. He employed a very ingenious trick to help him on his way. When he came to a town where he was not known he pretended to haye lost his dog, which he de- clared was a very valuable animal, and ovdered the public crier to roam about, beat loud on his drum and offer a reward of 25 louls to whoever should bring, the dog to him. /At the same time the crier was directed to mention all the titles and academic honors of the doctor as well as his place of resi- dence. Of course it happened that the doctor was not long in becoming al- most the sole topie of talk in the town. The people made up their minds that he must be a famous physician as well as a very rich one, as he could of- fer 25 louis for finding his dog. You might reasonably judge that the dog was never found, but plenty of pa- tients were.” ‘Walking on Your Hat. “Nothing is wasted in this house” s the proud remark which you may often hear from the lips of an expert housekeeper. It is a boast, however, that few people could really justify. Take the case of a wornout derby hat. In the majority of instances this dis carded srticle of headgear finds its way to the rubbish heap or perhaps into the hands of a passing tramp.

But how rare is the man who can turn out an article of firsi-class quality at a small price. He is worth his weight in gold. Mr. R. E. Olds is thisman. IIe has done thiskind of work' successfully all his life. For 25 years he has built high grade gasoline motors at a low price. For 10 years he has built reliable autoinobiles and each year has lowered the price, brought up the standard, until today he has placed a car before the people at $1250.00, that stands in a class by its self. Come to our garage and inspect this car. It has. seen hard road service, and today the finish is as fine as any brand new machine. Why?
