FIRST CIRCUS OF SEASON IN BEMIDJI Dode Fiske and His Performers Arrived Early This Morning and Pitched Tents Quickly. PRESENT SHOW THE RESULT | OF A SMALL BOY’S DREAM Owner Always Hoped to Have One; Himself and Has Satisfied Longing at Last. Dode Iiske's circus is in town the big top and smaller tents on the ball grounds near the Great Northern depot. The show came in early this morning over the Great Northern from Wadena and the canvassmen got to work immediately, By break- fast time, the main tents were up and the cooks bad the morning meal ready. At poon, the parade started from the main gate and, lead by Dode Fiske, traversed the main streets. Mr. Fiske carries three bands with the circus and the last one in the parade, the colored family, proved to be the most popular. The menagerie is not large, but the speci- mens are the best of their kind. Dode Fiske was born on a farm in central Wisconsin. When a boy, a one tent circus came to town and he then resolved that some day he would own one of the best in the business. He was always fond of animals and early proved that he wasa good trainer. For many years, he had a dog and pony show and be- came well known throughout the northwest and central states. A few years ago, he felt that he|. could afford to start a real circus, so he sold his dog and pony outfit and bought the present circus, then a small one-ringed affair. Since then today and has set up he has added to it little by little un- til it has reached its present size. The dogs that used to travel with him are now on the vaudeville stage with Madame Colgrove. Mr. Fiske, however, kept two of his favorites, and they are living out their old age down on the Wisconsin farm at Wonewoc. The circus today travels in a special train of its own. The per- formers occupy three standard sleeping cars. Mr. Fiske has secured the best circus talent obtainable for the circus, and while there is not such a large quantity of acts as in some of the larger circuses of the country, the quality and variety are better. One thing that is especially notice- able about the Fiske circus is the excellent horses. Every one used is big, sleek and powerful. They are well kept and given the best food that can be bought. It takes 40 bushels of oats and one ton of hay to feed these animals every day. 150 pounds of meat and 10 bushels of potatoes are bought daily for the cook. ‘The winter quarters of the circus are at Wonewoc, Wisconsin, just thirty miles from Baraboo, made famous as the winter quarters of the Ringling Brothers ciicus. It is here that ‘the new acts are rehearsed through the winter, and the canvass and rigging put in shape for the summer pilgrimage. Mr. Fiske has a fine modern residence at Wonewoc, but when on the road, he and his wife travel as common circus people, After the parade this noon, there was a free show out on the street by two acrobates, and then ‘‘Ballyhoo Bill” started urging the people assembled to pay two bits to see the side show. The main tent and menagerie were opened at 1 o’clock and the performance started at 2:15. It was through in time for the out of town people to catch their trains, ‘The evening performance will start ‘at 8:15 tonight. Many people have come in from the towns along the railroads to see the circus. The trains coming CLARENCE DINEHART DEAD. 8t. Paul, June 8—(Special telegram to the Pioneer)—State Treasurer Clarence E.

Floor—Is Well Equipped. The building occupied by the George Baker & Company, jewelers, and City Drug Store is being com- pletely moderized and the Jewelry company- have leased the second story of -the building. It is being fitted up with modern machinery and conveniences for the repair of watches, clocks and jewelry, etc., and the manufacturing of gold and silver jewelry for the wholesale and retail trade. This concern is fast becoming one of the most prominent makers of jewelry in northern Minnesota. They are receiving orders from more than a dozen states and will do the more difficult |« repair work, engraving, diamond and other stone setting for a large number of jewelers in North and South Dakota and Montana. Being. the official-watch-inspectors forthe M. & I, B. F. & I. F. and G. N. railroad companies, they have the care of many watches carried on these lines which requires the most exacting attention and the services of high skilled mechanics are neces- sary. Olaf Steenstrupp, who has been with the Baker Company for the past two years, has purchased an interest in the repair and manufac- turing department and will be its director and manager. Mr. Steen- strupp’s wide experience in the timing and adjusting of fine watches as well as the manufacturing of gold jewelry, places him in a position to meet any demand that patrons might ask in this line of work. Mr. Baker informs us that they are purchasing the diamonds and other precious stones direct from the importer, which makes this store jobbing quarters as well as a re- tailer. As they are manufacturing the mountings in their workshop it places them in a position to make prices far below those given by retail stores in larger cities. Bemidji can well be proud of this wide-awake concern. They are'a part of Bemidji and they help advertise Bemidji. The surrounding towns and villages recognize this concern as superior-to those in the larger cities.

R. Mackenzie, secretary of the associa- tion, to give it publicity later. The resolution reads as follows: ““We recommend that the Federal Government turn its attention to- ward encouraging the commercial development over a vast area by opening the natural water course for transportation purposes, between the Great Lakes and the Lake of the Woods.” » The water course mentioned is the Rainy River, which now forms the boundary line between the United States and Canada in north- ern and northeastern Minnesota. Be- cause of this fact, the question be- comes one of international import- ance. ‘The Rainy River has its source in Cook county, flows west through the lake region of upper Minnesota, through Rainy lake and thence to the Lake of the Woods,its outlet being finally Hudson Bay. This river is the only means of transportation that many of the settlers of northern Minnesota have at their command. The Canadian Pacific ‘and the Minnesota and In- ternational railroads are the only ones that tap this district. The Canadian lines are branches and the International serves Beltrami and Koochiching counties, so the district covered is small. Six of Minnesota’s largest coun- ties will derive direct benefit from the opening of the Rainy River. Roseau, Beltrami, Koochiching, St. Louis, Lake and Cook counties all border on the river and the Canad- ian boundary. The northern part of the counties are heavily timbered and are thinly settled. The tim- ber is being cut off rapidly and experiments show that the cutover land is suited for agricultural pur- poses, especially grazing and dair- ing. Secretary Mackenzie has sent copies of the resolution to the Minnesota congressman urging them toact on the matter and see that the river is opened as soon as possi- ble. The resolution, backed by the thirty-one counties of the north, is sure to have some weight. An effort is to be made to have the .Canadian government act with our Federal government in this matter. If Congress decides to take definite action on the matter, it is probable that a canal with three locks will be built connecting the Rainy and Pigeon rivers. The Pigeon rises but a shqrt way over the divide from the Rainy and flows into Lake Superior. Its source is 700 feet above the lake and it always has plenty of water. This 'would give a big waterway from Hudson B;y on the north to New Vork City via the Great Lakes, Exie canal and' Hud:on river; and to New Orleans via the Great lees and Ch‘eue canal. < DAN MALONEY COMING.
