Such information will be confidential : if desired. Address, Bemidii Pioneer Bureau, Staté Capitol, St. Paul, Minn, I THIS IS FOR YOU. The Bemidji Pioneer will, in the course of the next thirty days in- augurate a plan by which the people can secure a subscription to this paper without cost to them. _Ar- rangements have been made with the chief manufacturers of staplc grocer- ies and provisions of the United States, to place a coupon in each package sold and those who buy the goods can have the coupons redeemed at the Bemidji Pioneer office in pay- ment for one years subscription. The plan is this, when you have col- lected coupons to the amount of a year’s subscription, they will be tak- en on subscription. After you have become a subscriber, the Pioneer of- fice will still redeem the coupons, by giving an order on stores for the amount represented by the coupons in you possession, but you must be a subscriber to get this concession. We have signed contracts covering this territory, hence will be in a posi- tion to give the people exactly what we promise. We will make furth- er explanation by advertisement in the course of the next thirty days. Keep your eyes open for further ad- vertisement. THE SPIRIT OF THE NORTH. Charles S. Carter, the Hines farm- er, logger, merchant and Beltrami county boomer, exemplified the spirit of the north when, a few days ago, he said: “Despite terrible forest fires and other drawbacks during the past year, there is a roseate.hue to our outlook, and I predict that the next two years will see a great migration to Beltrami and adjoining counties.” And then Mr. Carter goes on to ex- plain the perfection of the present winter, so far as logging operations are concerned and with the optimism characteristic of the men of the north, paints a picture of great pros- perity from this time on. The best part of Mr. Carter’s hap- pily expressed thoughts is that he builds his poetic expressions on facts and that all his prophecies are com- ing true. 5 There is every indication that nor- thern Minnesota in genars;l and Bel- eve of the: greatest Industrial ac- tivity in its history. ‘With the readjustment of the here- tofore cumbersome state laws re- garding the sale of state lands, to- gether with the construction of more roads and the digging of proper drains, is sure to come an endless stream of settlers who will find the advantages of the north far in ex- ces of their most cherished hopes. This-awakening is due primarily to the continued boosting of those who know this country’s virtues and the expressions of Mr. Carter| are splendid examples of the ever- lasting loyalty to the greatest part of the great North Star State. AREAL FIGHT. Not a day goes by but that Mayor/ Parker, the aldermen, leading busi- ness men, lawyers, doctors, ministers do not receive from New Orleans or San Francisco, or both, entreaties. to. take sides in the now- spectacular fight for the Panama exposition. This exposition is to be held in 1915 to commenorate the “Nuptials of the Atlantic and Pacific,” or, in less poetical words, the opening of the big diteh. New Orleans and San Francisco are appealing to. congress for gov- ernment aid, each declaring she was the first in the field and that each, for every reason that the mind can conceive, is entitled to Uncle Sam’s 0. K. It probably dosen’t make so very much difference to the people of Minnesota which ecity lands the prize. If San Francisco wins it will mean a long and expensive journey for persons residing here to see the exposition, while the trip to New Orleans would be comparitive- ly cheap. The middle west might profit by the crowds that would swarm westward, but if the show goes to the Queen of the South, it would seem more satisfactory to the river states, who have been loudly urging “Inland Waterways,” which, of course, means a better channel for the Mississippi. Anyhow the fight is interesting and just now the clash of arms is the loudest in Washington and when- ever the boosters for the California city make a special move to engage the attention of the congressmen the Louisiana delegation tries to “go them one better.” San Francisco headquarters is in the new Willard hotel at Fourteenth and F streets. New Orleans head- quarters are just across the street in the New Ebbett. Gaudy banners swung over the two business thor- oughfares flaunt the claims of the contesting cities; page advertise- ments in the newspapers set forth the same in blackface type; and al- luring literature, elaborating senti- mental and practical exposition ar- guments, is sent out from both head- quarters daily. During the holiday season the San Franciscans brought to the national capitol several carloads of oranges and large quantities of California wine. A note accompanied each case of fruit and sample of wine ex- plaining that these were two of Cal- ifornia’s principal products. It was pointed out that visitors to the exposition would find lots more of the same there in 1915, This boom caused some gloom to appear at the New Orleans head- quarters. But not for long. The boomers from Louisiana got busy. “Paul” and “Aunt Emma’” were sent’ for at once. Paul is head bartend- er in Ramos’ saloon in New Orleans. Aunt Emma is an elderly negress, heralded as the best coffee dripper and praline maker in Louisiana. They are now at the New Orleans headquarters, where a miniature New Orleans exposition has been opened. There are great shocks of sugar cane and bunches of native rice. The parlors have been transform- ed. There are growing trees laden with oranges, mandarins, tangarines, and grapefruit, and a grove of big palms, representing twenty differ- ent varieties that grow in Louis- iana. “But the most popular feature of this show,” said Sam Blum, public- ity agent, “are the sections presided over by Paul and Aunt Emma. “Paul can mix a cocktail it is in- sulting to call a poem. It is as smooth as a secluded bayou and' as mellow as distilled moonlight. “And as for his gin fizz. It was in- vented in a moment of inspiration and perfected in hours of leisure. When mixed by the master hand it is the acme of coordinated ' liquids, combining in one grand hurmons' the || elusiveness of lime, the corregtive sweetness of the .cane, the life t’l carbonated water, and the elevating influence of the spirits.” “What is Aunt Emma’s specialty?” a stout person inquired. ‘“Aunt Emma,” said Mr. Blum, “has a state wide:reputation ag""“n coffee dripper. ~ Her coffee is in.a class by itself. . - To say more would be superfluous. And her parlines! “The parline is a small cake, made in a special and particular way, with nuts on top of it. Aunt Emma’s parlines are wonderful.”’ STORE WRECKED ~ BY EXPLOSION Number of Persons- Killed| and Many Injured. |'WORK OF RESCUE DELAYED Front Wall Is Hurled Into the Street, | Carrying With It.a Large Number of Wires, Preventing Any Attempt to Reach the -imprisoned People—A Search of the Ruins Is Necessary to Complete Total List of Casualties. Connellsville, Pa, Jan. 13.—Three young women. missing, four persons se- verely burned and about a dozen girls more or less seriously burned, repre- sent the known casualties attending| an explosion and fire which destroyéd] McCrory’s Five and Ten-Cent store here, with a property loss of about $75,000. The assistant manager of the store, a store carpenter and two clerks are the most seriously injured of those who escaped from the burning struc ture. It cannot be determined whether the list of missing will be increased until the ruins have been searched. There were about twenty customers in the store whe the explosion occurred, but the exact number is not known, nor have their names been learned. The front wall was thrown into the street and in falling carried with it a large number of electric wires. These were tangled in a mass and prevented for a time the rescue of those impris. oned in the wrecked structure. | Escaping Gas the. Cause. Ada Mitchell, a piano player, com: plained to Manager Poff of the strong odor of gas and he went to investigate. Before his return the explosion had oc- curred. Miss Mitchell; who was sitting at the piano, was hurled with the in- strument from the back of the build- ing through its entire length and into Apple street. Four carpenters were at work in the basement. Three of them escaped with slight burns, while the fourth will probably die. Fire broke out in all parts of the building and within a few minutes walls began to fall. Merchandise was scattered, many clerks being buried beneath it. Rescuers organized and, clearing away the wires, forced a pas- sage into the store. They carried out many of the employes and customers. Uniontown responded to the call for help with fire fighting apparatus and a large force of men. SIX MEN ARE STILL MISSING Work of Searching Ruins Begun at Cincinnati. Cincinnati, Jan. 13.—A corps of six- ty diggers has begun a hunt in the de- bris. of the Chamber of Commerce building for the bodies of six men who, it is almost certain, were killed by falling walls in the fire that swept the .building. Debris is piled as high as. the sec ond floor and it may be days before the bodies are found. George~Hayman, mnewspaper : man, who was.assigned to the fire, is: be- lieved to be one of those dead. Oth: ers still' missing are Charles Sibbold, secretary of ‘the Early & Daniel Co., grain dealers; Brent. Marshall,. vice president of the same concern; Fred Selm, night engineer of the building; Christ Meeks; fireman, and Lester Bu- chanan, a negro porter. TWENTY. FIREMEN ARE HURT Many - Casualties “Attend Series of Blazes.in ‘New York. New. York, Jan. 13 —Twenty fire- men were injured, one perhaps fatally, and damage aggregating $150,000 was caused by a series of fires. Fireman Leo: Hackbarth fell four stories down an airshaft.and through a skylight in a burning Harlem tenement. Physi- cians say he cannot recover. He fell while assisting a:-woman tenant to escape. The woman was not hu nor were any of the occupants. Five firemen were severely burned. when a liquor and: drug importing house on: Pine street canght fire and twelve were injured, five seriously, in: building-on Duane street. Two other small blazes caused slight injuries to two more firemen. t Well Known Chicago Priest Dead.! :Chicago, Jan. 13.—Father Hugh Cre- vier, one of the best known Catholic cer.
