"HE BEMIDJ1 D. ILY PIONE P "VOLUME 9. NUMBER 278. MANY SETTLERS ATTRACTED HERE W. R. Mackenzie Says 700 Out of 2,000 Coming to Northern Minnesota. MINNEAPOLIS EXHIBIT GOOD Says Development Association Room is Visited By Hundreds Daily. NEXT MEETING TO BE IN JUNE Will Be Held at International Falls But the Date Has Not Yet Been Set. “ft will be a great year for North- ern Minnesota,” said W. R. Macken- zie, secretary of the Northern Min- | nesota Development association, who | is in Duluth today. “One evening 2,000 settlers passed through St. Paul and 700 of them had | tickets to Northern Minnesota points. The proportion is often greater. We | have inquiries from all over the United States, and I prediet that the immigration into Northern Minneso- ta will be greater this year than the combined immigration for several years past.” Mr. Mackenzie is also immigration | commissioner of the association and has charge of the exhibit at 29 South Third street, Minneapolis. He says that the exhibit is a great show point itors to Minneapolis and is vis- ited by hundreds of people every day. Twenty-nine counties of the thirty- three in the association are repre- sented in the agricultural exhibit. Files of ninety-one papers published in Northern Minnesota are kept. “I find that the counties that do some advertising on their own ac- count are at an advantage,” said Mr. Mackenzie. “Some of the counties have failed to send in any literature and those that have literature there for distribution get attention more readily. [ would recommend that all | counties send in literature advertis- ing their lands.” Mr. Mackenzie is looking forward to the meeting of the Northern Min- nesota Development association at International Falls in June. He says that the dates will be selected soon and advertising begun. In order not to conflict with the Democratic state convention, which will be held here June 6, Mr. Mackenzie says that the meeting ‘at International Falls will probably be set for the following week. tle is anxious to avoid con- flicting dates with any big meeting so that the largest attendance pos- sible may be obtained. A contract was let this week for the clearing of a tract of land at this week Blackberry, Itasca county, for the| reclamation board of which Mr.| Mackenzie is also secretary. Six tracts ave now being cleared and the contracts for the other four will be let within three weeks. The recla- mation board will be ready with a report at the next session of the leg-| islature.—Duluth Herald. Maid’s One Good Quality. Servant girls know their own good points and they take care that every- body else shall know them. One maid who was obliged to look for a new sit- uation because her employers were leaving town listened critically to the enumeratfon of her virtues as set down in the recommendation that had Just been written by her former mis. tress. “There’s one thing you've left out, ma’am,’ she sald. “I pever cut my fin- gers. I wish you'd put that right up st the head of the list. Ladles will like that. Some girls cut their fin- gers terrible and it looks bad.” “Why, that is true; you never do,”" pald her mistress, ard the unusual polnt of efficlency, “She never cuts her fingers,” was inserted as request: ed.

IS DISTRIBUTING FREE SEED E. D. Ryan, of Minneapolis, .will build a potato warehouse in Bemidji if present plans mature. As yet the matter is not settled but those in close touch with the situation be- lieve that such action will be taken sometime before next fall. Mr. Ryan is in the wholesale bus- | iness handling potatoes only in car- lots. He has been buying in Bemid- ji for some time and believes that this vicinity will furnish a big crop next year. If it is decided to build, the warehouse will be made cold proof and large ‘enough to handle ocher products. In order to assist the farmers in this vieinity in the raising of the best kind of potatoes, Mr. Ryan for some time past has been distributing seed for no present payment. Every farmer taking the seed agrees to re- turn to Mr. Ryan next fall two bush- els of potatoes for every bushel of seed taken. In this manner the farmer is able to obtain his seed on the strength of the next year erop. Some, of the potato yields in this vicinity last season surprised even the most hopeful and it has been pre- dicted that Beltrami county will eventually be as good a market for potato buyers as the counties farther south and east. .

W. Foley. Sunday School Lesson—Outline Study—March 31—Review. Golden Text—Matt. 4:16. Topic —*“Jesus Christ is the light of the world.” The Golden Text in its setting de- mands our first attention, after which we will view the lessons.of the quarter in the light of it. The Golden Text. Verses 12-16 must be read for ap- preciation of this text. The mar- velous truth appears—“Brightest heaven did shine in darkest earth.” When the Lifter-up of humanity came, He came first to the deepest ruin. Weigh these words—“Zebu- lum and Naphtali.” “Gallilee of the Gentiles,” All this speaks of the ruin into which God’s people had sunk. Such is Grace. But not only 80, in just such a place only can Grace work. The Light from heaven could shine in outcast Gallilee as it could not in Jerusalem. Legal pre- tension, empty profession and self- righteousness #ad blinded the eyes of- Jerusalem, so that the greatest light was to them the most dense darkness. What a solemn warning against merely reforming and mor- alizing the people. We may make “whited sepulchers” out of them, but only God’s Son believed in and en- throned in the heart can save from _|euilt and cleanse from inward un- cleanness. The Lessons in their Relation to this Text. Lesson 1. Golden Text—Heb. 11:6. Topic—“Faith in God gives life.”” Truth—God’s Life coming in- to the world does not save, we may reject and remain lost. Faith, ac- ceptance of Him who is Life, saves. Lesson ‘2. Golden Text—Luke 1:68. Topic—¥God redeeming man.” Truth—God has fully provided re- TEN CENTS PER WEEK. FOR COUNTY BANKS Mh of Treasurer French Show an Excess of $200,000 Over the Legal Limit. LEFAVE CASE TO THE JURY Arguments of Attorneys Closed This Morning and the Judge De- livers Charge. MAKI NEXT ON TRIAL Case of Williams Robbery on Calen- dar for Monday—Followed by William Sly. George French has too much mon- ey! This morning, his books of the county treasury, showed that the county had $440,727.60 in cash. The legal limit of the amount which can be deposited with the county deposi- tories, which is the amount of capi- tal stock and surplus in all of the county banks combined, is $238,500. Consequently Mr. French has a little over $200,000 on his hands for which there is no legal depository. No place has been provided in the courthouse for the storage of money 50 Mr. French has allowed the banks to be over-deposited rather than risk the loss of the money. To remedy the conditions, the county is adver- demption, but only such as accept it are redeemed. Lesson 3. Golden Text—Luke 2:11. - Topic—“A Divine Saviour.” CAUSED BY POOR STOVE PIPE Pinewood, March 23.—(Special to] ‘the Pionder).—Fire destroyed the home of Marcus Malie, in the town of Buzzle, early Friday morning. The fire was discovered by Mrs. Malie but could not be controlled and the en- tire building and contents were de- stroyed. It is though to have start- ed from a defective stove pipe. Mr. Malie was attending the town meeting and his wife was home alone. She was milking and happened to see the flames coming from the sec- ond story. Running to the house, she opened the door, but the flames had reached the first floor and drove her back. The fire attracted many of the neighbors and they were able to save the granary and milk house. Mr. Malie is said to have had one of the best homes in the town of Buzzle. There was no insurance on the building. Town of Baudette. Supervisor—John P. Rust. Treasurer—G. L. Matson. Clerk—John Wolden. Justice—P. - Krogseng. Constable—Peter Christofferson. SELECTING THE GOOD ONES Truth—All the greater the condem- nation if He has not saved me. He is God’s Saviour by way of provision, i8 he mine by way of salvation, by way of acceptance, for acceptance is salvation. e Lesson -4.7 Golden - Text—Luke 2:30, 31. Topic—“Salvation provid- ed through Christ.” Truth—Sim- eon is known only by his character —simple faith and unselfish desire. He rejoiced in Christ personally, and as the hope of all the people of God. Do we thus rejoice. We may all rejoice in Him, but there is only gloom apart from Him, Lesson 5. Goldest Text—Isa. 45:22, Topic-—“The wise seek Christ.” Truth'—The Christ lifted up is the way of salvation only, it remains for us to look. We can not escape the personal responsibility. Many have crossed this desert world after the mirage of life, but how few that they might have what is in the water of life, Lesson 6. Golden Text—Luke 2:49. Topic—“Doing God’s will in youth.”. Truth—Youth is the time of ductility of mind and impression- ability of heart. Youth, at whose feet are you sitting? Lesson '7. Golden Text—Matt. 3:2. Topic—“Repentance and the kingdom.” Truth—Jesus came to set up His Kingdom, but impostors who were would-be subjects were scathingly rébuked by John. Mere form is hateful to God. He saves from sin, not in sin. ® Lesson 8. Golden Text—Heb. 2:18. Topic—“Overcoming tempta- tion.”" Truth—He overcame in Him- self, wé can not. - He who overcame for us will overcome in us. Lesson 9. Golden Text—Matt. 9:37, 38. Topic—“God’s call for workers.” Truth—In the light of our review golden text what a re- sponsibility rests upon God’s work- ers, “None other Name.” “Ye must be born azain.” Lesson 10.

Arguments by the attorneys in the case of the state versus Lefave, of Baudette, were completed this morn- ing. After dinner, Judge Stanton de- livered his charge to the jury and it retired for the consideration of a verdict. George Erickson, of Spoon- er, delivered the argument for the de- fense and Graham Torrance for the state. Following the Lafave case, the state expects to call the case of Isaac Maki, the third one of the trio of Williams men accused of robbery. Arthur Jacobson was tried first and ‘was acquitted. John Kivel was tried second-and convicted but Judge Stan- ton has not yet passed sentence. Af- ter the Maki case, the state plans to call William Sly for trial’ He is charged with robbery in the second degree. Iver Iverson is then sched- uled for trial on an adultery charge and Fred Cook on a charge of carpal knowledge of a child under the age of consent. - This will finish the jail cases.
