Fish, if perfectly fresh, is the least objectionable of all ani- mal foods. Those who find their rules of conduct in the Bible will note that while pork is es- pecially prohibited, and other flesh -food tolerated, only fruits and herbs are mentioned where man’s food is first prescribed (including nuts). Jesus fed the multitude with bread and fish, and while he allowed the drowning of a herd of swine, his chief disciples were fishers. Decayed fish is dangerous—and it must be admitted that this fact would indicate that where digestion or elimination is ir- regular or weak, caution should be used. The best food to eat with fish is the coarsest whole cereal bread, as dry as possible; fresh white bread, vegetables and fruits should not be eaten with fish. @@@@@@@@0@@@@@@9 PPPOPPPPPPOPOPPOPOPPOPOIOOOOOGOOOS® 0000000000000 000000000VOO® 06 We predict that the dog race at the Beltrami county fair here will| be a howling success. i Why use dynamite to blow safes vhen so many potato patches are Le'ng left unguarded?

A few days ago it announced that one or two, of our citizens would be apprehend- ed next day, but next day came and everybody was. enjoying his usual liberty and those. whom the detectives quietly pointed Qut are getting restive because of sheer neglect. Get up anoth- er scare, Bro. Wilson, we rather ¢njoy. them and the readers of the Pioneer are disappointed when taking up the paper and find nothing in that line. Frankly, we admit that the Times has some ground for the slight peev- ishness which it exhibits, but it s entirely wrong if it assumes that the Daily Pioneer seeks to invent “scares” at the expense of Cass Lake citizens. ; In the article to which the Times refers our information was furnisheq by Assistant State Fire Marshal Sam- uel Fullerton, who asserted that two Cass Lake business men were to be arrested—we did not say the next day—and that a federal warrant was out for the rearrest of Dr. Dumas. This information was corroborated by other officers and the Daily Pio- neer printed it in good faith. As a matter of fact we believe now, as we did then, that Dr. Dumas will be re-arrested and that at least two of Cass Lake's most prominent business men will be publicly drag- ged into the present unpleasant af- fair, and if it is any consolation to Cass Lake we will add that there are two or three persons in Bemidji who fare taking this “prominent citizen” noise most seriously, and they have good reason to do so. . ‘There unquestionably has been too much publicity and too much talk- ing about the case but in a matter .s0. fllled. with interest, the Daily Pio- neer has and will continue to print all the information it considers to be reliable and just to make it worth while we will wager the Times-a mew potato against Pike bay that'the worst is yet to come. JOHN W. GATES. John Warne Gates, who died Tues- day in Paris and whose daring specu- lations on Wall Street won for him the popular title of the “King of Plungers,” was a self-made man if there ever was one. Starting from practically nothing, he fought his way up until he became a man of enormous wealth, a power in the fin- ancial world and the controlling spirit of some of the largest business interests in the country. All this he accomplished by his untiring en- ergy, his shrewd business sense, his unlimited self-confidence and his pro- verbial ° recklessness in taking chances against tremendous odds. John W. Gates was born on a small farm Turner Junction, now West Chicago, I1l., on May 8, 1855, the son-of Asel A. and Mary Gates. He received his early schooling at the district school near his father's farm and then took courses at Whea- ton College, in Wheaton, Ill., and at Northwestern College, at Naperville. He had no liking for the monotony of farm life and decided to enter up- on a business career. His first busi- ness Venture was contracting to husk a mneighbor’s corn. With the money saved from this undertaking he bought a one-third interest in a threshing machine, then a new in- vention. near The crops were bountiful and the threshing business so profitable that partners. While traveling with his machine from farm to farm, Gates became acquainted and fell in love with Dellora R. Baker, the handsome daughter of a near St. Charles, I1l. He was but nineteen years of age and practically penni- less' when he married the girl. contracted to clear some timberland farmer hardware store at Turner Junction. tion was not satisfied. The possibil- ities of the barbed wire business, then something new, attracted his salesman for Col. pioneer in the barbed wire business. Gates soon made for himself a repu- salesman in the country. He earned large commissions, but that di@ not satisfy him. He decided. to start in the business of manufacturing barbed wire on his own, account and, after a short war of competition with Elwood, entered inte partnership with the latter. Other. barbed wire concerns sprang up and, to, prevent disastrous compe- tition, Gates and his partner bought up, ong. plant after the -other, form- ing a wire trust under the name of Southern Wire Company, with head- quagters in St. Louis, Stil] later he formed a combination with the Brad- dock Wire Co., near Pittsburg, Pa., and, having absorbed two other con- cerns in the following years, he formed the Congsolidated Steel and Wire Co. in 1892, Six years later he sold out to the Federal Steel Com- pany, after he had organized the American Steel and Wire Company, now part of the U, S. Steel Corpora- tion. It was originally. capitalized at $90,000,000. Two years later the big steel trust was formed by J. P. Morgan and the Gates companies were turned into the merger. Gates wanted to be one of the directors of the trust, but Mr. Morgan, fearing his recklessness, did not consider this advisable and kept Gates out of the board. A few years later Gates evened his score with Mr. Morgan, by buy- ing up the controlling interest in the Louisville & Nashville Railroad, which the Morgan forces were trying to obtain. -Gates sold out to Morgan and his share of the profits amount- ed 'to several million dollars. After a while Gates entered the southern field as a competitor of the big steel trust, and organized the Republic Iron & Steel Company. He bought up the controlling interest in: the after one year Gates bought out his et = He for a farmer and when he had ful- filled his contraet, he had $1,000 in| bank.

A For & number of ye&rfi Gates re- sided in Chicago, where he owned a fine mansion ‘on. Michigan Avenue. He sold the house in 1908 and re- moved to New. York, where for some, time he occupied apartments at the Plaza Hotel, paying $46,000 a.year rent for :the same. He had been: aj plunger and daring speculator in Chicago,sbut his career in New York -was even more speculating. Wall Street began to fear him and thel) public wondered at his extravagance {] and recklessness in gambling opera- | tions, whether at the card table, the:] race track or ‘the stock exchange. (] many millions by daring specula- tions, but recovered his losses and|)] accumulated ‘an enormous fortune, estimated at from $25,000,000 to $50,000,000. During the last few years he devoted a great deal of his attention to the development of his large business interests in Texas and in other parts of the South and the Southwest.
