RIVER AND-HARBOR BILL MAY PASS SENATE TODAY Senator F. M. Simmons Believes That the Bill Will Receive General Endorsement. Washington; D. C. April 7th.— (Special to Pioneer)—The River and Harbor appropriation bill is virtually made up and w'ill, in all probability be reported to the Senate today or Friday at the farthest. The bill will carry in the neighbor- hood of $52,000,000, but of this amount between $7,000,000 and $10,- 000,000 are not properly chargeable to the revenue collected during the present fiscal year. Senator F, M. Simmons, of North Carolina, and a member of the Committee on Commerce, be- lieves that the bill will receive most general endorsement and that it represents in its make-up the very best thought on the: part ot both committees ot the Senate and House and that it is a step forward in the interest of a broad and comprehensive policy for the improvement of the rivers and harbors of continental United States. “There was a general feeling in the Committee”, said Senator Sim- mons, “that an annual River and Harbor bill was essentially necessary to put our waterways in condition to handle our growing commerce, In a way the bill is carrying out one of the platforms of the National Rivers and Harbors Congress, that there should be a bond issue to take care of these improvements in the event that current revenues that were not sufficient to provide for an annual water way bill of sufficient amount to make an appropriation of $50,000,000 annually for ten years, possible. While we have not issued bonds we have recognized in the Committee the necessity for an annual River and Harbor bill. The bill recognizes weritorious projects and appropria- tes liberally for them to the end that they may be completed within reasonable time and until they are completed the annual feature of the bill will continue. s “One of the first fruits of this new system will be a more liberal treat- ment of the waterways and a well defined plan for their improvement conditioned upon a favorable report from the Board of Engineers of the War Department. Under this new plan projects will be pressed to completion, something wholly impos- sible under the bi-ennial and tri- ennial bills of former years. “I think much of the credit of this measure is due Col, Alexander of Buffalo, N. Y., chairman of the House committes on Rivers and Harbors and withcut any desire to detract from the reputation of Chairman. I am convinced that this bill will prove to be a most scientifically prepared measure, and in every way worthy.” Masons Attended Funeral Today. W. B.

RED LAKE HOMESTEADERS GIVEN YEAR'S EXTENSION Other Homesteaders Are Given More Time In Which To Settle for Homestead Lands. The homesteads in parts of this state and North Dakota have been extended. The bill extending the time for the payment to be made by the Rosebud Indian reservation in North Da- kota, the Red Lake reservation, Minnesota, and the Comanche, Oklahoma, passed the house. The settlers on the Rosebud reservation received the extension of one year without interest; while those on the other reservations will be required to pay five per cent. This is welcome news to the settlers on the Red Lake reservation in this state. The time of one year, with interest at five per cent, are the conditions granted the homesteaders on the Red Lake reservation. homesteaders on | BEMIDJI ICE C .l ANDERSON & BLLOCKER, Props.

Masten’s full orchestra, nine pieces strong, will leave for Black- duck tomorrow (Friday) evening. The orchestra will give a-concert and dance in the Blackduck opera house. Accompanying the orchestra will be Andrew Rood, who will also take part in the program, It is expected that over 100 peo- ple will accompany the orchestra to Blackduck. Many people in that thriving little city are making preparations to attend the dance and concert and the hall will doubtless be packed. Cities the size of Blackduck sel- dom have the privilege and oppor- tunity to dance to music such as it furnished by the popular Masten orchestra. It is an organization of which Bemidji feels proud and can well do so as much larger cities have organizations that do not com- pare with the Bemidji aggregation. ORANGES FOR GRIPPB, Frequent Eating of This Fruit Is De clared to Ward Oft Possible Epldemie. Few people realize what an exceed- Ingly valuable medicinal food they have in the orange, Aside from the delicious flavor of the fruit, it has been desig- nated by physiclans as highly effective in warding off disease, “Anyone who makes a practice,” quot- ing from the Family Physician, “of par- p taking freely of citric acld, eating at least three “oranges a .day—morning, noon, and night—taking a little lemon juice'in water between times, need fear no epidemie of grippe or other dis- eage.” Fresh picked oranges, it is declared, are richest in medicinal virtues. “Sun- kist” oranges are always shipped from California the day they are picked, while tests _show California oranges are richest in citric acid, so the medicinal value of these oranges is very high. $ [+5] CANGELS VISIT T0 INDIANAPOLIS President Tat Will Keep Ont of Indiana Fight. DESIRES PARTY -SUCCESS Fears a Reiteration' of His Well Known Views Might Be Interpreted Adversely to Senator Beveridge and Endanger Victory at the Polls—Trip to Middle West Will Be Curtailed 8everal Days. ‘Washington, April = 7.—President Taft has cancelled his engagement to, visit Indianapolis on May 6. While no statement has been issued in re- gard to this decision it is believed to be the direct result of the events at the Indiana state Republican conven- tion. It is not even admitted at the White House that the president had a defi- nite engagement to visit Indianapolis, although dispatches from that city several days ago announced that the |- president would be there from 2:15 P. m. until midnight on May 5. In view of the circumstances sur- rounding the convention of the In- diana Republicans it was said by friends of the administration that if the president spoke at Indianapolis at all he would more than likely feel compelled to express again his well known views regarding the Payne- Aldrich tariff bill. . It was argued that if the president should do this it might be interpreted adversely to Senator Beveridge and, rather than be put in that attitude, the president will give Indiana a wide berth in his forthcoming visit to the Middle West.~ Desires to Avoid Fight. No matter what Senator Beveridge's attitude toward the administration may be—and the president told sev- eral of his callers, it 18 said, that he had no doubt in his own mind on that subject—he did not care to be drawn into the Indiana fight in any way. The president is anxious for Republican Success in Indiana and hopes that the Republicans, under whatever leader- ship they choose, may be able to turn the tide against the Democrats. It was said at the White House that the president’s trip West, which be- gins April 29, probably will be cur- tailed several days and it was intimat- ed that this was likely responsible for the failure to visit Indianapolis.” The president had planned to spend three or four days in. Cincinnati, but it is now likely that he will be theré only on May 3. He will be in St. Louis on May 4, according to the revised plan _ | and be back in Washington the morn- ing of May 6. - INSURGENTS WELL PLEASED Elated Over Action of Indiana Repub- lican Convention. ‘Washington, April 7.—The Indiana Republican convention, with its im- iplied criticism of the Payne tariff law and its endorsement’ of the non-parti- san tariff commission ‘idea, has in- spired joy in the hearts of the West- insurgent sennior‘s‘ They profess to see in the speech of Beveridge and in the action of the Republican con- vention in supporting him the founda- tion of the campaign. that can be car- {nsurgency against the tarift bill has been an issue. “The insurgent fight from this time forth will be a fight for a tariff com- mission,” sald a Northwestern senator. “Beveridge has started the fight in In- diana and the insurgent forces will carry it forward in other states.” “The people of Indiana are to be congratulated,” said Senator Dolliver of Iowa. “Senator Beveridge now stands on the firing line of the battle, which has become nationwide, for the defense of public rights against the ovil influences which are seeking to capture the government. His success cohcerns every man, woman and child in Indiana regardless of politics.” PITTSBURG FAGES COAL FAMINE No Immediate Hope of Settling Miners’ Strike. .

We carry all the American makes. ors of Western Pennsylvania will prob- ably remain on strike for the next thirty days at least. After a two days’ conference the wage scale committees in District No. 5, United Mine Work- ers of America, agreed to adjourn sine die, the miners refusing to carry on further negotiations looking to- ward arbitration regarding explosives. There is only a scant supply of coal in the Pittsburg district. With no wage agreement in’sight between the coal diggers and mine operators a coal famine is threatened before the end of the month.
