When the northbound train reach- es Bemidji it appears that all the passengers are leaving the train. “One ‘would think that Bemidji was the terminus of the road,” said a traveling man standing near the de- pot last evening when the Minnesota and International north bound train pulled into the new Union depot. The train going south gives the same im- pression. The Given Hardware Company are making a unique offer in their adver- tisement in today’s issue, offering fif- ty cents and a dollar for old wash boilers, tin and copper respectively. They have a fine window display of boilers, all fine new copper, which have a combination soap shaver and hook handle, for $4.00 less the offer for the old boilers. Many are taking advantage of this opportunity in se- curing something for their old boil- ers and receiving a new one. Prof. Hays’ statement, that North- ern Minnesota is destined to become the greatest dairying country in the world, is becoming a reality much faster than formerly believed pos- sible. During the present summer the following farmers are building silos, a practical necessity for the profitable conducting of a dairy farm, A. P. Ritchie, J. P. Duncalf, Frank Gagnon, John Schmidt, George Mil- ler and Harry Powers. These, and including the W. G. Schroeder silo, which was the first in this vicinity, are all on ideal farms, conducted by men who know the farming business. One hundred carloads of gravel and clay are to be brought to Bemidji to be used in rebuilding the Nymore road. This road leading from Bemid- ji to Nymore, has been in poor con- dition for some time, but with the use of shavings which have been sprinkled upon it from time to time it has been made possible for use. Several of the railroads have an- nounced _that they would haul the gravel .and clay to the city free of charge, if the city would pay for the ‘This the loading and unloading." city felt unable to do at this time, but suggested that the railroads be requested to -hold their offer good un- til next year. W. L. Brooks, cashier of the Lumberman’s National Bank, and W. A. Gould, of the Bemidji Lumber company- attended the coun- cil meeting last evening as represen- tatives of the: Commercial club, an- nouncing that the club would take N Heporter BABRKTTE, Socloty Heporier a city warrant for a reasonable length of time, if the city would have the dirt hauled. The council gccept- ed the offer, and the dirt will be hauled as soon as arrangements can be made. In tonight's fssue of the Pioneer appears an . advertisement of the Crookston Lumber Company. A map showing the lands owned and for sale by them gives the reader an idea where the much talked of sales are daily taking place. Many of the cit- izens in and about Bemidji are avail- ing themselves of the opportunity-of selecting a forty or eighty or even an entire section of this'popular priced land. The Crookston Lumber Com- pany bought the land for the timber on it. Now that the timber has been cut the company desires to dispose of it at terms and prices that are with- in the reach of all. A large party including some of the employes and representatives of the company are planning to go up to Island Lake next Saturday with a view of selecting some of the choicest spots. There are thousands of acres all considered choice and the people in and about Bemidji should be wise enough to make their selections before outsid- ers grab it up. All the company asks is $1.50 per acre down and the bal- ance in twenty years. The finest land in the world for farming pur- poses can be found among the Crook- ston cut over lands and at from $5.00 to $11.00 per acre.

They say that the pros-| perity’ of ‘the ‘manufacturers ‘and dealers in dress goods demands & de- cided change in the fashionable ‘sil- houette. It is claimed that only by such a radical change can the busi- articles, but if they are kept in a dry and cool place, they will remain un- tarnished for a long time. Phynicilni claim that sleep is more refreshing in a darkened room. It is: well to accustom children from in- fancy to sleep in-the dark. ‘Wet shoes should be stuffed “with paper before they are put away. The paper. will absorb the moisture and keep the shoes from becoming hard. Brass polished only with rotter- stone and oil will have a deep, rich yellow tone, while the acid polishes leaves it whiter and more brilliant. A flannel dipped in spirits of tur- pentine will be found very useful in cleaning the porcelain tub or sink. Kerosene will answer almost as well. Cold water with but little soap should be used for washing silks. If the color runs, vinegar should be stir- red into the water, until the color sets. ‘When packing, tie in bottle corks well and put the bottles in the mid- dle of the trunk. If packed solidly in this way they will carry around the world: When coal is needed on the fire in the sickroom, it should be brought into the room in paper bags, which should be laid gently on the fire- to prevent noise. A teaspoonful of glycerine added to a gill of glue makes a cement that is a great convenience .in the kitchen, and is especially good for fastening feather, paper or wood to metal. - Dampers should be placed in all pipes leading from heaters and kept closed in summer, as air from the fur- nace should not be allowed to flow into the house when the fire is out. Town of Nebish Orders Payable. Mr. Andrew Edwards, treasurer of the Town of Nebish, has made ar- rangements with the Northern Na- tional Bank of Bemidji to cash any and all orders on the Town of Nebish, with interest from date of registra- tion.

The depression in the - business of the manufacturers and.dealers was due not only to the fact that the fash- ionable dresses required an unusual= 1y small amount of material, but al- 80 to the fact that owing to the re- tention of the slender-silhouette for a number of seasons women were en- abled to wear their old frocks for several seasons without being actual- ly out of style. Sudden change Unlikely. The ‘same authorfties admit, that a sudden radical change of . the sil- houette is not probable, as the wom- en seem to like the present style with its straight and narrow lines. The designers have been experimenting lately with introdueing certain mod- ifications of the prevailing style which will eventually lead to a change of the silhouette. Here and there one has seen a skirt with a trifle more amplitude than the ma- Jjority, a noticably smart frock with the natural waistline defined. Flounec- es and platings have crept into use, though so flat and llmp are they that they do not seem aggressive. The, Marie “Antoinette fichu has| been used upon tHe narrow, scant, high-waisted ‘models of 1911, but perhaps it may be an entering wedge for the long walst: and skirt ampli- tude of its own perlnd The revival of taffeta and’ '.hefiimmlngn of the early Victorian p@rlod ruchings, shirred cords, puffing, etc., may be another opening wedge, though now all this is set in tune with the sil-| houette of last spring. What Sleeves and Skirts. The fashion struggle of the au- tumn will undoubtedly rage most hot- ly around the sleeves and skirts, al- though coat lengths are a burning topic at present. The general opin- ion seems to be that the kimona sleeve must go. To be sure, that battle cry was raised last summer and everybody knows how far the probabilities seems to be in favor of carrying out the decree this time. It is safe to predict that the autumn will bring a change in the sleeves, but-how radical.that dmnge will be| there is no telling:as; “Just what the populnr sleeve will be remains to be seen, but it would not be advisable to have a new frock, intended for autumn use, made on the kimona lines' which -dominate er’s Drug Store. gone. 316 Minhasota Ave. Cents on Your Oid Tin Boiler Regardléss of Condition Give summer costumes.

Summer ‘cloaks and ‘wraps of “all kinds ‘are more than usublly good this year, and they run the gamut from the severest:amd -most conven- tional of tailored -dust-coats to the most -fantastic of little manties ‘and short . 'coats. ' The : reversible’ cosat, ‘which-was ‘an unusual thing at"the ‘beginning of the season, is often seen ‘now ‘both ‘in satin ‘and in wool snd has its practical value. The woolen ‘models are invarlably of. two-faced cloth, each material being supplied in great variety. and beauty by the foreign ‘manufacturers.’ The ‘revers- ible coat of satin is‘made both in the double: ‘faced -satin ‘and in satin of one color lined with satin of con- trasting' color, the latter being, of course, considerably the warmer of the two and therefore less satisfac- tory for hot weather purposes. 3 Velvet appears upon many of the coats in satin, marquisette, chiffon, etc., but is as a rule used sparingly merely to give effective relief. The white double-faced satin with soft collar on the under side makes up into delightful coats, the big collars and cuffs showing the colored side and touches of black velvet or heavy lace serving as additional trimming. Doubled-faced Fine Broadcloth. Double-faced- fine broadcloth is lovely too in white and color. In place of black satin, which used to be exrtemely fashionable for - long coats, French makers now ofter use various shades of night blue, taupe, bronze .green, raisin, etc. Semi-transparent long coats of ‘col- Ored marquisette or chiffon embroid- ered in self color or bordered by self color or velvet are good looking when ‘worn over white or harmonizing col- ors, and one of the novelties of the season is the lingerie long coat, ‘whose fine foundation is usually al- most hidden by inset laces and em- broidery. Tawney Brown is Favorite. “Some of the summer wraps touch the floor, while others are diminu- tive affairs that are merely thrown over the shoulders. Usually the ma- terial is transparent, or, if not trans- parent, sosgoft, thin ‘and limp - that it gives the suggestion of transpar- ency. Tawny brown is a favorite color . for -handsome wraps for-wear over smart afternoon frocks. Last ‘summer brown was as dead as a last year’s fashion magazine. Brown lin- ens and foulards could be picked up for a song. Brown in a garment costing over three figures was un- heard of.” But now all the bréwn WE WILL ALLO or $1.00 On the purchase of a famous $4.00 Savage extra heavy all copper Boiler.

It'1s usually: of a vivid color, either solld or irldescent. 'The skirt 1s usually of white serge-or lingerie, pongee or rajah. Usunally the plain ‘White is chosen, but' often ‘there is a stripe in‘it. * The coats are in'all the fruit reds, in the purple of the plume, in ‘deaf greens and tobacco brown. It is an attractive idea for the wom- an who has a separate white skirt and does not wish to get a short coat that can be worn only as a part of a suit. The tunics are becoming longer as the season advances, and in some cases very nearly reach the hem of the underskirt. Beneath these tun- ics at times a kind of quaint cuirass of old-time lace may be descried, with the -upper portion of the: cors- age and enwrapping hip piece of sim- ilar lace. Sleeves to the elbow are finished with a trio. of silken muslin bias folds of three shades or differ- ent.colors matching those of the dress, or they are turned back with a reverse of lace and edged with a narrow line of velvet. There is a decided preference for evening gowns of gray, the shades being, of course, those that are at their best under artificial light. Stone gray is not favored, though combined with cerise in various ways and em- broidered in silver it has found some admirers. Wide Jap Sash Used. The wide Japanese sash is a pi- quant ‘and charming finish for dainty summer frocks. It is fastened high in the back, has enormous lcops or bows and is usually of some contrast- ing or deeper colored silk or satin than the gown itself. Many of the new - parasols are in bordered effects—pongee silks with bands of Persian or Dresden -satins or perhaps a border of plain' colored taffeta. Girls are showing again a fancy for low-neck dresses completed with second empire collars of muslin- lace or embroidery.
