THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER VOLUME 9. NUMBER 1. BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 29, 1911. INTERNATIONAL FALLS IS PROGRESSING County Seat of Koochiching Gives Promise of Great Future—Much Building Being Done. BRIDGE WILL SPAN RIVER Saw Mill, Which Will be Third Larg- est in United States, Is Nearing Completion. That International Falls, the coun- Ty seat of Koochiching county, has a very bright future, there is no ques- ton. Already the residents of that little city predict that in five years they will have over 6,000 population. Every busines man in the border town is a booster, and a good one. New buildings are continually be- ing erected, and in the current issue of the International Falls Press, the official paper of Koochiching county, that publication says, concerning the building of the new saw mill and the <onstruction of a bridge across the Rainy: “The big saw mill of the Interna- tienal Lumber company is nearing <completion in our city. The roof has been completed and the mammotb building painted; over a hundred men are now busy completing the interior and lnstéllluz the machin- ery. When completed this will be the third largest saw miH in the United States. The capacity will be 62,- 000,000 feet per year. It will con- tain three large band saws, a gang and re-saw. It is the determination of the owners to have this mill all completed so that it will be in full operation by July 1st. At least four hundred men will be required to operate it. Many of these men are men of family and will need to hring their families with them. All the louses in our city are now occupied which means that new homes will have to be built this summer to ac- comodate the new arrivals, thus all indications point to an exceedingly busy summer and a phenominal in- crease in population. Toward the fall it is the intention of the company to erect monster plan- ning mills to the west of the same mill, for the manufacture of finished The forty south of the mill has been cleared for use as lumber yards. Another magnificient structure is about to be added to those already erected in our city and around this world renown water power by President E. W. Backus and his as- sociates, by the erection of a mon- strous combination foot, vehicle and wagon bridge across the head of the and Fort lumber products. falls between this city Frances. According to the specifications the bridge will be a steel structure erect- ed upon the cement piers, which were built, on solid rock which forms the bed of the river, over a year ago. The steel part will be 900 feet long and with the approaches it will be 1,784 feet long and the width will be fifty feet. The plan is to have the two outside sections for the use of pedesterians, the next section for vehicle traffic, while the middle por- tion will be arranged for railroad traffic. The Canadian Northern railway has already made application to the company for the privilege to cross the bridge with their passenger and freight trains and also for the use of the passenger and freight depots which the Minnesota, Dakota gnd ‘Onta o Western Railway company is build-| ing on their tracks near the Minne- sota and International railway depots. The completion of this structure and the granting of these privileges will make this city an important place on the main line of the Cana- dian Northern Railway between Du- luth and Winnipeg.” Yosterday Baseball Scores AMERICAN LEAGUE.

Stones. have: endeavored to make artificial because diamonds are infusible. heated a little less than one thousand velop a heat far greater than hard coal. This important principle in the re- construction of gems was demon- strated by Verneuil, one of the most matureand learned of thepresent day French scientists, who, by means of his invention, the oxohydrogen blow- pipe, has supplied the world during the last four years with beautiful synthetic rubies and white and blue sapphires. These artificial precious stones have all the richness and de- sirability of the mine stones, being fused at a temperature of seven fun- dred degrees and _being of exactly the same chemical composition of mine stone and having all the hard- ness and the same specific gravity as the latter. These new scientific stones are be- ing shown in quantity in Bemidji at the present time by the well known jewelry firm of George T. Baker & Co., who have a beautiful window display of the artificial gems and a very large stock of fine white dia- monds. Mr. Baker has developed his trade in precious stones to such an extent that he is now able to buy in quantities directly from the im- porters and thus save his customers all the profits that usually go to middlemen or jobbers. When a retail jeweler is able to buy thus, directly from the import- ers, it is the last word. No large dealer of the cities is able to buy diamonds any cheaper than Mr. Baker and here they can be retailed at a smaller margin of pro- fit than in the cities because the quantity sold is in larger proportion to the stock carried. It is also true that store expenses and rents are much cheaper in Bemidji than in the cities. Vacant Houses. There is no need of your house being vacant. I furnish good ten- ants promptly—John G.

Mr. Crane has installed a complete line of babe’s and childs clothes and in this book, he takes opportunity of telling the purchasers of Bemidji just what they may expect to find at his store in this particular line. There is, perhaps, no other mer- chant in northern Minnesota who places as much faith in good live ad- vertising, as does Mr. Crane. His ads are always up to the minute, and that he wants the public to fully un- derstand the true value of looking over his stock before purchasing, is made evident by the handsome style book that he is now sending to over 1,000 patrons.

GOES TO THE JURY Walker, April 29.—3:30 p. m.— (Daily Pioneer Special Wire Service ) —After a trial lasting only a little more than a day and a half, the case of the State of Minnesota versus 1 Smith, charged with murder in the first degree, went to the jury, at 3 o’clock this afternoon. Smith is charged with the mur- der of Deputy Sheriff Harry McCabe, { while the latter was about to place the defendant under arrest for lar- ceny. ’ The arguments for the defense and prosecution were both made before noon today, and Judge Stanton began his charge to the jury at 2 o'clock. Charles Scrutchin, Bemidji's color- ed attorney, who is defending Smith, made a strong argument for the ac- quittal of the defendant, one which, no doubt, will be much considered by the jurors before finding a verdict. County Attorney Funck, has con- ducted the state’s case, in a very ef- fecient manner, and many in the court room believe that a verdict of guilty will be soon reached. Smith claims that the killing was accidental. | Many Enjoy Dance. One of the largest crowds that has ever attended a dance Bemidji was present last evening at the first social event to be given by the new- ly organized Knights of Columbus lodge. The Knights proved them- selves royal entertainers. in Doings of the Municipal Court. Two men were arraigned in muni- cipal court this morning on charges of vagrancy, they being Lester Doyle and Pat Blaney. Doyle was released, but Blaney must spend the next ten |days asgisting Street Commissioner Carter. pr German Band Visits Bemidji.

DJI MERCHANT | WEMORIALSERVICES SUNDAY L 0CATION OF SCHOOL T0 BE DISCUSSED Members of the Agricultural Commit- tee of the Commercial Club and Board of Education to Meet. AT CLUB ROOMS THIS EVENING Will Thoroughly Investigate Sites Which Have Been Recommended For New Department. This evening in the Commerciak club rooms the members of the agri- cultural committee of the Commerciak club and the Board of Ed\;catlon, will meet for the purpose of thoroughly going over. the present situation in regard to the establishing and loca- tion of the new agricultural depart- ment, which the state high schoot board recently voted Bemidji as one of the 20 cities to receive aid of $2,500 from the state, as was author- ized by the recent legislature. . Ever since the news reached Be- midji that this city had been decided upon as the proper location for onme of the schools, every owner of land in the city, has been of the opinion thgt.,h,lu-propérty was the one and only place for the establishing of the department. Thé meeting this evening is for the burpdse of thoroughly going over the situation, and while it I&'very likely that no definite understanding’ will be arrived at, it is probable thai the board will fully understand the view which the agricultural mittee takes on the matter. Several days ago this committee visited several proposed sites, and it is understood that one of them is very likely to be recommended by them. It is very important that a con- clusion be reached in the near future as to where the school should be lo- cated as an endeavor will be made to seed a crop of potatoes and corn, be- fore the present term of school is closed.
