- THE BEMIDJI HINNESGTA H'STGRICM. VOLUME 8 NUMBER 76. BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, SATURDAY EVEN]NG, JULY 16, 1910. NEW SO0 BRIDGE IS BEING STAKED OUT Birdsell Started Running Lines for Crossing Yesterday Afterncon. Resident Engineer TWO MACHINES LAYING OVER THREE MILES OF TRACK DAILY One Working East From Plummer and the Other West From Moose Lake. Resident Engineer Birdsell, of the new Soo line going through here, started to stake out the Soo bridge over the Mississippi yesterday after- noon. As the track laying machine is expected through here in a little more than a month, work will have to be started on the bridge within ashort time. The site was looked by Chief Engineer Thomas Green when here the first of the week. Yesterday, the new track laying machine which is working east from Plummer was two and a half miles out of town. It has been working a little over two days and as soon as the men have become more accustomed to the work, will make nearly two miles a day. It will be taken off the line after the crew has laid about thirty-five miles of track. The working from Moose Lake is now sixty miles out of the town and is averaging near- ly two miles per day. Better time cannot be made as the men cannot over machine stand the heat. At its- present speed, it will take a little over a month to make the seventy miles between it and Bemidji. This will will bring it here about the first of September if there is no delay. George M. Huss, the engineer of this division, has direct charge of the new line and also has charge of two Soo lines on the Iron Range that were built last year. Heisa graduate of Cornell and has built railroads for many years. He came to the Soo from England where he had been engaged for some time in building an English railroad, He has also built roads in Mexico and built the one from Acre to Damascus in the Holy land. It is the present plan of the Soo line to fill in the hollow at the end on Beltrami and Minnesota avenues at grade to where the telephone poles stand on the north side. The south side will be graded for as many tracks as will be needed at once and the rest filled in with whatever dirt is left over. Trains will be running here this fall, but through passenger service from Winnipeg will not be established until early next year. Just at present, the Soo engineers are planning to cut off in North Dakota that will allow Canadian freight and passengers to be shipped direct to Chicago without having to go through the congested yards of the Twin Cities. The Moose Lake-Plummer line, which is the one building through Bemidji will be the direct line from Winnipeg to Duluth and Chicago. ‘As the Great Northern and the Minnesota and International, a branch of the Northern Pacific, go tbrough Bemidji now, it will make this city the distributing point for all Canadian products for points north and south of here, The division point for this line has been established at Federal Dam at the head of Leech Lake. The engineers would have placed it at Bemidji, but it is the policy of the road to make freight hauls as near to one hundred miles long as possible, and as the dam comes right in the middle of the road, it was established there. Branch of M. & I. Sued. Judge Spooner was called to International Falls last week to de- fend the Big Fork & International Falls railway in a suit brought up by the settlers along the line to- H. G, Hodson. The plaintiffs al- leged thas the road had not used spark arresters on its engines and that they were the cause of some of the recent forest fires, The case was thrown out of court because of faulty presentation, but it |is understood that it will be taken up again, Warrants Payable. Notice is hereby given that there is money in the city treasurer to pay all outstanding warrants registered against the general fund prior to April 1, 1910. All warrants registered against the poor fund prior to Jan: 1, 1910. Dated July 14, 1910. & Earl Geil, City Treasurer.

We found Aitken a village of about 2,000 in- habitants, pleasantly situated on the east or south bank of the Mississippi river. The Northern Pacific rail- road runs thf’nugh the center of the town and the Soo railroad passes through the north end near the river. The 2nd Division bf Carr Post, with the colors, Captdin Titus in command, arrived on the afternoon train and were assigned quarters. PIGNIC JULY 24 Rev. George E.

Hongkong, July 16.—The pirates on Colowan island hoisted a flag of truce in order that they might remove their ‘wounded. The Chinese authorities have sent ten gunboats and 1,200 soldiers to the scene from a neighboring island so that they may be ready to assist the Portuguese soldiers, if necessary, in exterminating the outlaws. Several Chinese students have been rescued after months#of captivity. It was the Portuguese campaign to free the students which brought about the fighting. The hospital at Macao is filled with wounded pirates. and sol- diers. DRIVEN TO A SANITARIUM Dr. Pearsons Exhausted by Flood of Begging Letters, Chicago, July 16.—After twenty- four years devoted to philanthropy Dr. H. K.

Hehas a wide reputation throughout the state as an able and” eloguent speaker and|; his-talk at the picnic will probably have a direct bearing on the coming election campaign.

Lattimer, M. A., will give a lecture ow‘bcialism and |- the labor problem ™~ n the evening. He is spoken of'as a college man who spends his summers working for socialism. Just now heis in Minnesota and is scheduled for about twenty-five speeches. Speaking of socialism and Mr. Lattimer’s work, the Saturday Ever- ing Post says: “Whatever one believes about it, he must inform himself. To fight against gocialism you mnst under- stand it. To fight for it you must understand it. While Mark Han- na’s prediction that socialism would be the storm-center of the next great political battle in this country seemed exaggarated when 'he made it a few years ago, his farsighted- ness is already vindicated,” The general public is invited to the picnic and the committee in charge of the arrangements wants everyone to feel free to come. - BEMIDJI MAY BE IN NEW DRY TERRITORY Changed Boundaries are Expected to Include All Land in Indian Treaty of 1855. “Bemidji will probably be in the new dry belt decided upon recently by the Bureau of Indian Affairs in Washington,” said N. J. Sero this morning. Mr. Sero is an agent of the bureau and works under “Pussy- foot” Johnson in Denver. “I have not yet received any official notifi- cation of the change in the territory, but was advised some time ago that a change was coming and I presume that this is the one meant.” The dispatch printed yesterday from Washington has not caused much apprehension among Be- midji.saloonkeepers as the dispatch said the mew dry territory was souithwestern portions ot Beltrami county, Mr. Sero, however, be- lieves that the new territory will include all that which came under the treaty of 1855, If this is the case, it will put Bemidji well within, the dry' terri- tory.

The The Armour Packing company is expected to put in a cold storage plant in Bemidji in the near future, The local agent, M. F. Wilson, says that he has not heard of ‘any such move and that if it was contem- plated, he would be notified, but 2|since the new hotelry has been the rumor that the company will put the plant in soon will not down. It is understood that a temporary plant will bé located on the lake shore near the Swift house. The building there is old and it is not known whether the company will build on an addition or erect a new brick plant which will be equally near the three railroads. If the Armour people put in such a plant here, it will mean a big boost for Bemidji as a distributing point. Swift's have a plant here now and with two meat and one grocery ‘| houses, the city will attract other concerns, prices are 10c-20e-30c.- Seats are now on sale at Hanson’s Drug Store. Rules That Lead to Success. For an Emplovee. Take as much -interest in your employer’s business as if it were your own, Do not expect to get all you can and give nothing. Do a little more work than is demanded. Be prompt. Show that you have an interest in your work above a desire for an extra half hour in] bed in the morning. You can’t come down a half-hour late every morning and impress your employer with the idea that you are a wide-awake active man or woman with an interest in your work. Do your work well today, you won’t have to do any of ‘it over again tomorrow. Be cheerul and willing. A sul- len countenance is jnot pleasant to look upon by either employer ora customer, Remember your pulling power with a customer is one of your assets. The reverse will be] your loss, Be curteous.
