WOULD YOU ACCEPT PRESENT OF A $100 DIAMOND RING? We Are Going to Make Some Lady in the Northland the Present of One in Return for a Few Minutes of Her Spare Time Each Day for the Next Five Weeks. Would You Like to Be Her? We Are Offering You Ladies of the Northland, Who Reside Outside the City of Bemidji, This Opportunity. You ladies of the Northland who reside outside of the City of Bemidji you are overlooking something: An opportunity that does not come every day—yea, sometimes not even once in a lifetime. To get a beauti- ful blue white diamond, regarded for centuries as the earths most priceless gem. This beautiful, sparkling car- bon lays today on display in the window of Geo. T. Baker, the well- known jeweler of Bemidji, awaiting the outcome of the Bemidji Pioneer’s Mammoth Contsst. Some lady residing outside of the city limits of Bemidji is going to get this ring, :and as yet the competation for it is :scar ~ly perceptible. Are you aware of the fact? For if you have not been you are nmow. This beautiful $100 Diamond ring is a District Prize for the District B which includes all the territory outside the «city limits of Bemidji. No lady who resides in Bemidji and who is in the Bemidji Pioneer’s Mammoth Contest can win this valuable treasure as District B does not include any por- tion of the City of Bemidji, therefore this beautiful diamond ring is wholly and solely a prize for the ladies outside of Bemidji. You can win this beautiful ring if you want to. It is simply up to you. A few moments of your time each day during the next five weeks will doit. Gotoa few of your friends; tell them about the Contest; tell them about the diamond and how to win it; and then tell them you're go- ing to and get them to give you their subscriptions to aid you to supremacy in this battle of votes. Imitate The Beaver. The expression “Work like a Beaver” is asold as America. This industrious animal accomplishes more perhaps than any other twenty species of the animal kingdom -combined. It cuts down trees and dams Are you trying to land the Easy Profit Week Eastor Prize? This is " your chance. Are you going to avail yourself of it? Kill two birds with one stone. Win the Easy Profit Week Easter Prize and pile up your votes for the Capital, Grand, District or Sub-District Prizes. This is an opportunity that will not be repeated. “‘Strike now while the iron is hot.”” Get busy and the rest is easy. This very handsome, usefuland valuable prize is now on display in the window of Schneider Brothers, the well-known clothiers of Be- midji. Itis a natural tan calf, leather lined suit case, with straps, shirt waist folds and full brass trimmings, a perfect beauty. Money does not buy any better in a calf case tham this. With a little ordinary care it will last a life time. _It is of the finest workmanship and finest leather obtainable.” A siit case is really a necessity now-a-days and everyone should be the possessor of a good one; that is the reason Mr. Schneider selected this one as it is, and as' we desired it to be, the best that could be had. It is the latest and most up-to-date case on the market today at this price. Call and see it. 4 ] rivers with them. Sometimes it finds it hard to get trees around its home to repair it’s dam. Does it hang around idle waiting for some one else to do it? Not for a minute. Mrs. Beaver goes up stream, chews down a few trees and floats them down toits damm and then gets busy. If you find it hard at first to find votes, do not despair and sit around idle. Do as the beaver does: Go out where there are votes and I give free one package Almonds. than in ordinary candy.

If you find it hard to get them close around you, go abroad; invade the enemie’s country; get votes from her own citadel. The more votes you get the fewer she will have. Let yonr motto be “Get Votes”. That is what you want and that is what you will get if you but make up your mind. Remember that diligence is the mother of good luck. Do Not Be a Dreamer. Day-dreams are nice things but they never materialize. If you want anything in this world you must go after it. Do not be like the Absenthe drinker, full of ever-vesant dreams. A hotel manager in Palm Beach, Florida, tells a little story on one of this class. Here it is: Hotel managers sometimes have to listen w a lot of things that do not interest them. It is a part of their “An absenthy drinker once undertook.to explain to me what T ought to do.fo perfect the advertising of my hostelry. What you ought to do,” he said (as he flicked the .ashes off his cigarette as if to spring something new) is to arrange for a sea-serpent to show downon the beach. It could be done for a few hundred and the advertising in the Northern papers would give it (at $1.75 a line which he did’nt mention): would double the number of tourists coming here. Get the idea? Ain’t I right? Leave it to me, I know. I looked about me carefully to see that no one would overhear what 1 had to say to the fellow. Then] Ireplied: “Old man your idea is great, but I have got one that would knock the spots off of that, and since you have been so kind I am going to tell you something. I have ar- ranged to have a battalion of trained lobsters down on that beach every day this season. I promised an old pal of mine up in New Port not to compete with him in the sea-serpent game, so I arrangted with one of Barnum & Bailey’s men to get me a battalion of trained lobsters, but don’t breathe a word of it to any body.” The fellow replied: ‘‘Holy Smoke thats got the other backed off the map half a mile hasn’t it? Thats sure going some.” Be Careful. Do not not get hallucinations like this. They are bad for you mentally and bad for you physically. If you want a thing make up your mind to have it and the restis easy. Do not sit and think how nice it would be to have it, but just go ‘out and get busy. Tell your friends you want it; that you are after it and that: you are going to get it and you are sure to come out right. Two Other Prizes. Besides the $100 diamond ring there are two other prizes for District B. District B is devided into two sub-districts, 5 and 6. All that territory east of the line dividing Range 32 and’ 33 is sub-district 5. All that territory west of the line dividing Ranges 32:and 33 is sub- district 6. . After the diamond ring is awardea to the lady. getting the highest num- ber of votes in District B, the lady having the highest number of votes in. Sub-districts 5 and 6 will each; receive one of the gold watches. now on display in the win- dow of ‘Geo. T. Baker of Bemidji.

It is something that is handed down from generation to generation with reminiscences of one gone before and the associations she had with it. There is nothing that is treasured like a watch. Are not these two prizes worthy of the best efforts of any lady to win? Enter your name and write the Contest Manager for further information and the rest will be easy. Chances in Other Sub-Districts. There is one suprising feature in the Pioneer’s Mammoth Prize Con- test and that is the magnificent chances that are being neglected in some of the out-lying sub-districts. There are two prizes which will go to each sub-district and in two of these at least there are only two contestants. Would you like to know if you live in this sub-district? Well you can soon find out. Just get the Pioneer of this evening and make a careful scrutiny of the Districts and you will see where your chance is. If it is in your District make a running leap to get your name on the list and insure yourself of one of the musical scholarships or the gold watches. To be frank and honest with you there are two or three spots of a similiar sort that can be detected if you look care- fully, and if you cannot pick them out yourself - just drop a line to the Contest Manager and ask him to post you. Cut the coupon out of the paper and send it along with your nomination blank, and you will find that you have never in- vested two cents in a postage stamp to better advantage. More Motor Fun, Less Motor Trouble. More motor fun, less motor trouble, thats what every owner of an autombile desires, thats why we chose the “White Streak” Model 10 Buick as a Capital Prize in the Pio- neer’s Mammoth Contest. If you want to last up a hill, you will have tothink about the kind and class of machine you are driving. You must have a well constructed powerful and staunch machine to stand the strain that is put on it in such critical crises as hill-climbing or a heavy sandy road. This is where the Buick shines. Why the Buick Wins. Some people ask: “Why is it the Buick cars always seem to win the majority of the races they enter over higher priced cars of Inter- national reputation?”’ From a mechanical standpoint this is very easily explained: The Buick engine is constructed with the valves in the center of the cylinder head; the intake, in the exhaust valves being so placed that the charge of the gas is taken directly over the piston; the ignition taking place in the center of the charge. This gives the Buick ‘Engine twenty per cent more power than it is posible to get out of any other engine of the same cubic contents of other valve con- struction. Power means SPEED. 1t is also possible by this construction to get a mere flexible engine. This is why you see the Buick car driven about the streets with the same ease as one driven by electricity. © It being possible to throttle the engine down to a very low speed without killing the power. It is not necessary to change the gears in order to bring your car down in speed so that it can be driven through traffic. Ninety per cent of Automobile trouble generates in the lubricating system. This is where the Buick shines. Its oiling being a feature in itself. - It is not possible to make it feed more or feed less and any one that can fill a bottle full of water can fill the oil reservoir and the working of the machine will take care of the rest. Ten Year Old Girl Drives Streak.” The proof that the Buick is sim- plici:y itself, was proven Sunday morning when Margarite Stoner the ten year old daughter of M. D. Stoner drove the “White Streak,” “‘White important’ the Pioneer’s Capital Prize, from the Pioneer Office through the streets of Bemidji to the County Fair grounds and back, without a single bit of aid. Many saw her, did you? Is this consise enough proof that the car is simple as we say? Music is the Soul of Harmony. Music is the Soul of Harmony. It acts on the human mind and heart as an emotional elixir reaching into the very soul of the inner being and enwafting our emotions too and fro’ like reeds in a wind." There is music in all things if we had but the ears to hear it, or the soul to find it. Music whose weird charms Soothes the niost savage. The whole world at times seems to forget itself when moved with a concord of sweet sounds, so enanimated are we to it that without it, it would seem a dull and dreary world. The, Kimball Piano, the Pioneer is going to give to some lady of the Northland is a musical instrument of the mellowest of tones. If you love good music you must have a good instrument to obtain it and if you want to hearit as you have never heard it before- with a beauty and _expression of toné entirely new be sure and hear the Kimball Piano the Pioneer is going to give away. Go to Bisiar and Murphy’s who have it on display and they will gladly play on it any music you want to hear, If you are fond of Grand Opera, ask to have the “El Travador” played. Treasure of a Life Time. Back six thousand years ago to the reign of Remni in Egypt, the beautitul blue white diamond has been regarded as the most scared of treasures. Even then lives were lost, whole countries devasted in the greedy desire for the sparkling white carbons. In recent yeaf; we have the more familiar example of that greedy, powerful nation, Great Britain, reaching out hun- gry hands to crush a mere handful of people in the Orange Free State and Transval; into submission, for the earth’s most priceless gem, the diamond. The beautiful white water dia- mond, valued at $100 and selected by G, T. Baker from his stock cjf selected stones, is one of the most perfect stones of its size ever seen in Bemidji. Mr. Baker, who selected this stone and set it and of whom it was puy- chased, backs it up with his absolute guarantee, Musicial Education Essential. One of the requisites of every ladie’s education is her musical training. No lady is really equipped for the social world or private life today without having mastered the rudimentary principles of music. The four musical scholarships that are valued at $60 each in Masten’s Conservatory of Music are worth the best efforts of every one to obtain, 4 Mr. and Mrs Harry Masten, who superintend the teaching of the violin ahd piano are acknowledged everywhere to be accomplished musicians of the highest order. Under the supervision of two such able instructors one may obtain an insight into music that cannot be found elsewhere in the Northland. This is a splendid opportunity the Pioneer is offering vou to get the final touches or the first elementary steps of your musical career. Are you going to pass it by? Do not? It is the opportunity of a life time that is knocking at your door. A Beautiful Keep-Sake. Is there anything one values so and that has so many associations with happenings and events in life as a watch. On display in the wip- dow of George T. Baker are six gold watches, which the Pioneer is 2oing to award to six ladies of the Northland. Each one is a treasure in itself. Beautiful to look at and of real substantial value. The kind of a watch any lady can be proud of and willing to display at any time or any place. A watch that will last you a life-time. One that you can hand down to the future genera- tion with a reminiscence of former days. 4 The Way the Prizes Will Be Awarded. First, The lady receiving the highest number of votes in the con- test whether she reside in District A or B will receive the Streak” Model 10 Buick. The P neer is going to give asa Capitol Prize in this Contest. g The lady receiving the second highest number of votes in the Con- test, whether she reside in District A or B will receive the $450 "[Continued on Page 3.] CITY REVOKES LICENSES OF BURKE AND HANSON Attorney Funkley Ably Represents Defendants.—Iatro- duces Considerable Evidence to Show That Liquor Sold Wak Malt and Not Beer.—Sero Testifies. Again the council chambers were packed from door to door, this time to listen to the arguments advanced by both the city attorney and Attorney Henry Funkley, counsel for the defendants, Jens Hanson and A Burke, who were given an oppor- tunitty to show cause why their licenses should not be revoked, both having been charged with selling liquor to persons of Indian blood. The defendants, were ably repre- sentgd in Mr. Funkley and many thought that the council would not revoke the licenses after hearing his arguments. Both defendants, how- ever, were deprived of their licenses to sell intoxicating liquor by the unanimous vote of the councilmen present. The charges against these two parties were made by N. J. Sero, special United States Indian officer. He was also present and was one of the witnesses in the case. The other witnesses were M. A. Carl, the person to whom the liquors in both cases were sold; A. Burke, | Albert Valliare, Bert Perry, Nels Anderson and Gilbert Lien. Mr. Lien was a witness in the Jens Han- son case and testified that he did not remember seeing this man Carl before last evening. In the case against A. Burke, the defendant made a strong argument, | stating that the liquor drank by Mr. Carl and Mr: Sero was malt and not beer. The defendant also presented as evidence three empty bottles, two| of which were discovered in the room occupied by Mr. Carl and one from the stock in the dining room. Mr. Carl testified that all the labels were scratched off the bottles served him, but could not positively state whether it was beer that he drank, Mr. Sero was positive that the liquid was beer. ' The. council members called on Mayor Parker for his opinion in the matter before taking vote on the revocation of these licenses, and Mr. Parker clearly .and emphatically stated that if the council members believed that both the defendants bad done anything that did not comply with the law to the letter, he believed it was the council’s duty to revoke the licenses, That was practically all the coun- cil did outside of allowing the bills. All bills presented, except that of M. D. Stoner, were allowed. Mr. Stoner’s - bill was presented in itemized form and stated clearly the time put in for extra work in preparing the specifications, plans and reports during the year 1908 and 1909, which also included some items for supplies and railroad expense, amounting to $504. This bill was laid over until the mnext meeting night. Thé bills allowed were as follows: The total interest allowed on the sums of $50,000, $7,000, $8,000and $10,- 000 Was.....cceereeennnannn $1981 68 Public Library Subscrip- tions to News-Tribune, Record-Herald, twelve periodicals and Minne- apolis Journal. 37 45 Northwestern - Tel.
