Who Was Seriously Wounded by Discharged City Employe. Travelers who are coming into the city from down the river report that it is the lowest it has ever been in thirty years. Last week at Keokuk, Iowa, where the river is usually wide and deep, a man walked across with- out having to swim at any time. For safety, he pushed 2 row boat ahead as he was afraid of holes. Some time ago, the government engineers ordered the water let out of the reservoirs between here and Brainerd, but they report that the water evaporates before it can get to the larger cities. There is hardly enough water in the river at the Twin Cities to carry off the sewage. The 1iv.r here has backed up from the power dam and is now level with the lake. Little water is being let through the dam as the company is using steam to run the city dyna- mo. New York, Aug. 10.—Mayor William J. Gaynor was siot and dangerously wounded as he stood on the deck of the steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse at the steamship pier in Hobo- ken, N. J., about to start on a month’s vacation in Kurope. The shooting was done by a stranger who later gave his name as James J. Gallagher. He was later identified as a former city employe who was recent- ly discharged. Three shots were fired at the mayor. Two of them missed and the third lodged in the fleshy part of the left slde of the neck. Blood gushed from the wound and the first hasty exam- ination led to the belief of serious [Continued on Page 4.] TELEGRAPHS Announcement.

BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 1 MORE GOVERNORS MAY - VISIT ST. PAUL GONGRESS President Taft's Note to Governor Eberhart Used as a Basis of Urging Letters. St. Paul, August 10—(Special to the Pioneer)—President Taft’s inter- est in the second National Conser- vation Congress to be held in St. Paul, September 5,6, 7,8 and 9 is shown in a letter to Governor Eber- hart of Minnesota. His letter has been used as the heads of letters to the governors who have given excuses for not attending the congress, urging them to recon- sider the matter and come to St. Paul: “Beverly, Mass., August 6. “Hon. A. O. Eberhart, “Governor of Minnesta, St. Paul. “Dear Governor:—I acknowledge your letter of the 2nd written from Boston, in which you request me to issue an invitation to the governors of all the states to visit the Con- servation Congress. 1 feel that I ought not to issue such an invitation since that matter is entirely in the hands of Mr. Baker, Mr. White and yourself and should remain there; but [ am glad to say to you that it is my sinceye hope that the governors of the various states, by their attencance at the congress, will express the interest which I know they all feel in securing a full and valuable discussion of this great problem, which so much interests every American. “William H. Taft.” 1t is believed in St. Paul that this letter from the president will be the means of bringing more governors to congress than otherwise would have attended. It is recognized here that the time is not really the best for some of the governors. There are hot campaigns in some of the states and several of the governors are can- didates for re-election. The presi- dents letter however is expected to show just where he stands on the conservation question and since he has agreed to come himself and urges the governors to do the same, there no doubt will be a larger attendance Baltimore, August 10—(Special ’ 8 >p Hailen, Mr. Perry, Kelley, W.

GOMMERGIAL GLUB AND FARMERS MEET AUGUST 20 Expect to Discuss Warehouse Proposi- Together—Town Clubs May Be Organized. Business men of Bemidji and farmers of this community will meet together Saturday, August 20, to consider plans for the warehouse which has been needed and wanted in Bemidji for so long. The place for the meeting has not been selected, but will be announced in time so that all out of town men can attend. The meeting will start at 1:30 and will take about about an hour. Many of the farmers clubs near the city have elected delegates to represent them officially at the meet- ing, while the members will also attend unofficially. The farmers are vitally interested in the ware- house proposition and those who have been approached say that they | will attend the meeting if it is pos- sible for them to get away. Harry Reynolds. secretary of the Commercial club, has sent out letters to each individual farmer asking that he attend the meeting and telling of the propositions to be considered. The mailing list was made up of names sent in answer to the add in the Pioneer, so itis possible that some farmers may not be reached. Secretary Reynolds says that he wishes them to come as invited by public invitation. This will be the first time that the farmers and Commercial club have ever met together and it is expected that it will lead to a closer feeling of community interest. The farmers want a warehouse and the business men think they should have it. If this scheme goes through, it will be & stepping stone to combined action in the future. Farmers in some localities. have organized business clubs of their own and at this. meetng it be will suggested that men in each town- ship, orsome such division, or- ganize for the betterment of their commercial interests. Such clubs, acting with the city business men through the Commercial club, are expected to prove strong ties in uniting the present scattered forces of both farmers and business men. SGHOOL SITE AGGEPTED Dr. Henderson’s Gift to Board May Have Building on It Soon. Dr. Henderson’s offer to the school board to provide a site for a school back of the Bemidji mill was accepted at the board meeting last night. This offer was made some time ago but was not acted upon be- canse the school election was so close at hand. Another election - will soon - be called for the purpose of voting in the school, and if the people decide that they want it, bids for the build- ing will be advertised at once. At present, twenty-three children live in the neighborhood. Some come over here and other go to Nymore. One room off the kitchen off the old poor house has been wused to house the remainder. The district back of the mill has been hampered in its growth by lack of school facilities for the children and it is hoped that the new school will overcome that obstacle. MUGH MONEY LOST AND. WON IN REAL ESTATE Are you aware of the fact that more people have made -money through small investments in real estate, than in any other line of business? It is true and it is the best habit that ever existed. and talk with most any one you met, and they will tell you of the great opportunities they have missed. years ago that Bemidji would be a TEN CENTS PER WEEK. have purchased such and such property and today they would be independent. That is the story of the majority of the people here today that are paying rent. I am going to tell you a different story. It issimply this. The op- portunities for making - profitable investments in real estate is greater today than they have been through- out this section of the great north- west and especially in the City of Bemidji. Call at my office and let me tell you why. Look through this list and you will understand part of the story: I will sell youa seven-room house, on a fifty foot lot S. E. corner, fine location, only a small payment down and the balance at $20.00 per month. Youcan make the place pay for itself, and in a short time you will have a deed to a nice piece of residence. property and won’t realize how you got it. I'll bet that if you do this once and see how nice it works out that you will get the habit and do the same thing over again because you will then realize how nice it is to have a little money coming in without the extreme hard work with hands and head. And here are some more,—A six room cottage on Bixby avenue; An eight room house on Irvine avenue; 3 A six room cottage on corner of Tenth and Am erica avenue; A six room cottage between Ninth and Tenth on America avenue; A ten room house Beltrami ave- nue and Tenth street.

TIMETABLE GHANGED To Lessen Ruming Time Between International Falls and Brainerd. Starting Sunday morning, a new time card will go 1nto effect on the M. & 1. The Northern Pacific has taken off the train from Little Falls to Brainerd with which the train from Bemidji used to connect and they will now weet a later train. G. H. Warner, of Brainerd, said that the reason for the change was that the trains were being run too fast over the new line and that the officials thought it advisable to cut down the running time. The trains will arrive and depart at the terminals atthe same time, the difference being between Ipternational Falls and Brainerd, Following is the change: Train 32 will arrive from Inter- national Falls at 8:05 a. m. and de- part at 8:15 instead of arriving at 8:15 and departing at 8:25. Tram 31 will arrive from St Paul at 6:00 p, m. and depart at 6: 10 instead of arriving at s5:40 and departing at 5:50, Train 34 will arrive from Inter- national Falls at 1:25 p, m, and de- part at.1:35 instead of arriving at 1:35 and departing at 1:45.

The Commercial club and county ) commissioners met for a short ses- sion in the club rooms this morning. The club asked the commissioners to reconsider the assessment of the Crookston Lumber company, espec- ially in the town of Nebish, It also asked the board to urge the state tax commission to reassess the tim- ber in the entire county of Beltrami. - The Crookston Lumber company claimed that its taxes in the town of Nebish had beeh raised too much. The company said that it realized that the assessment had been too ° small on the last tax list, but that in other parts of the county the assess- ment had been too high, The com- pany wanted a just valuation put on allof the land or else the valuation left alone. It did not want a high valuation on all of the land. It appeared at the meeting that the land throughout the entire county are unsatistactory and that the timber men want the state commission to go over the county as soon as possible. The commissioners who are meeting as a board of equalization, did not action but took the matter under advisement. Harry Reynolds, secretary of the Commercial club, presented the fol- lowing resolutions to the board this afternoon: “Be it resolved, that the Bemid)i Commercial clubrequest~the-beard-—=-— +*~—— of equalization to place a stumpage valuation of timber in the town of Nebish at $3.00 per thousand; “Be it further resolved; that the board urge the state tax commission to reassess the timber in the entire county of Beltrami. Respectfully, The Bemidji Commercial Club.” "ALUMNI MEET TONIGHT valuations on timber Will Consider Revised Constitution of Old Association. Alumni of the high school are invited to meet with the new asso- ciation in the Library this evening. Last week, the classes of 1908, 1909 and 1910 met and formed a new organization as the old one was con- sidered dead, no meeting having been held for some time. All gradu- ates of the high school who care to join the new association are invited to the meeting tonight. When the classess met last week, the constitution of the old associa- tion was adopted temporarily as a working basis for the meeting. It has been revised by a committee appointed by President Peterson and the new draft will be submitted this evening by the committee for adoption. By forming a new association, the students hope to awaken a live interest in the high school activities.
