With the warm weather fast ap- proaching the Sunday saloon lounger will at least have the summer months to find a new Sunday home. The Warren Register is taking a straw vote similar to the one taken by the Pioneer during the past two weeks and has adopted the Pioneer blank for its own use, Was it the fine weather or the n«-w’ that filled the streets about the city’s business section Sunday, or was it a trainload of “lumberjacks” Better ask the mayor imported into town? mayor. : Poor Lo, the Indian, has come into s a band of Indians cleaned out a eaver colony that had located on one of the rivers. Beavers are already| a curiosity in the country where they were a common sight thirty years ago. Stillwater is befoaning the fact that its Company K has disbanded and that the town is now without a| drilled body of men for additional police protection when necessary. Be- midji is in the same plight. Our own Company K, of the Third regiment, has been disbanded and the equip- ment shipped away. While there is little chance of a company being, needed for protection from invasion, there are times, such as the Baudette fire, when a trained body of disci- plined men is a necessity. Bemidji should have a militia company and if the work under present conditions is intolerable, the conditions should be changed. it At this season of the year, cities of this size are pestered with peddlers and_agents selling practically every- thing from a needle to a load of hay. tatives of womens’ wearing apparel are especially numerous. en should beware of this class of ped-! dlers. They are after the money and take it out of town where it never 1t is reported that Bemidji has one of this class in its midst this week. There is no doubt but that any of our local merchants can supply. your wants and at a better price than you would have to pay the agent. If he does not have it in stock he will gladly secure for your inspection any number of samples: that will be far superior to what the peddler can show ! The wom- returns. you. In the first place the peddler is put to considerable more - expense than is the local merchant., He must pay his hotel bills, railroad fare, and a hundred and one other things which the local dealer does mot. If he comes to you this week and shows you a fine line of samples, turn hfm down. Go to your dealer and com- pare what he has to offer you. —_— The Roosevelt Record.
