ST T Historial Soclety N % E BEMIDJI D. "~ WINNESOTA | TORICAL VOLUME 10. NUMBER 40. BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 13, 1912, BEMIDJI BUTTER IS SOLD IN NEW YORK Product of Local Creamery Graded Above Average and Brings a Higher Price. EASTERNERS PAY A PREMIUM Are Charged One Cent a Pound More For Article Made From Northern Minnesota Cieam. BIG RUN THIS WEEK Peterson Expects to Have Made Over 1900 Pounds When Saturday Night Comes, Bemidji butter is heing sold on the New York market at a premium of one cent a pound. The butter buyers have decided that because of its high grade that it is worth more/ than ordinary butter. The butter is shipped in tubs averaging sixty-three; pounds. Since its establishment several weeks ago, the Bemidii creamery has been making rapid strides to the front as a producer of t class but- ter. About 180 pounds were made the first week, but last week the but- termaker, Mr. Peterson, turned out close to 1300 pounds. He says that the product this week will run close to 1900 pounds as a new station has just been opened at Pinewood. Mr. Peterson is at present alone in the creamery, but states that if the amount of cream shipped in keeps increasing as fast as it hae done the past two weeks, that he will have to have an assistant at omce. Mr. Peterson makes a personal test of each can of cream received, computes its amount of butterfat and pays the farmer oy that basis unly. Thus the farmer who witers hls cream in the hope of getting more for it is fooled. But three or four {ubs of butter are consumed locally per week is the statement made by Mr. Peterson to- day. He said that the butter was of a much higher grade than a lot that is shipped in here as the fact that it brings the highest New York price proves. An effort is being made to have more of the butter consumed by home people and so keep that money in circulation in this part of the state. During the month of May, accord- ing to figures prepared by Mr. Peter- son and R. L. Given, who is secre- tary of the company, the creamery paid $478.29 to farmers for eream At the end of the month, thers was 645 pounds of butter in stock which at a market value of thirty cents a pound was worth $191.50. The following figures are taken from the monthly report to the state dairy and food department: Number of May patrons. . Cream received, pounds .. Test of cream ..............

BOTH THREATEN BOLT. Chicago, June 13.—Apparent ir- reconcilability of differences between Taft and Roosevelt leaders in the Republican party borne on the rising tide of charges of bribery, theft and other accusations tonight threatened to precipitate decisive developments before the opening of the national convention next Tuesdky. Charges of corruption were made in an open statement given to the press last night by Director McKinley of the Feit bureau which- directly accuses Roosevelt managers of an effort to capture the convention by force. Prominent men on both side to- night admitted the situation had be- come so acute that almost anything might happen within the next few ays: Bolt talk was ever bresent during the day and once in a meeting Roose- velt leaders rose to the point where William Flinn of Pittsburgh, who was presiding, refused to let it go further. States that loomed large in the calculations of Roosevelt leaders in the case of bolt are California, Oregon, Kansas, Nebraska, Pennsyl- vania, New Jersey, West Virginia, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, land North Dakota. ARMY OF VISITORS IN CHICAGO. Chicago, 11, June 15—An army of visitors that is expected to surpass all records for a national political convention week in Chicago already is marching into the city by compa- nies and regiments, and by Saturday the hoteis in the downtown section will be filled to capacity.

No matter how great the throngs, however, Chicago expects to be able to give them accommorations. More than 15,000 visitors are expected to be cared for in the big lotels and the larger rooming-houses will take care of almost as many more, according to the statements of hotel experts, while thousands of other visitors will be quartered in private homes with friends and relatives.

FLINN VOICES PROTEST Chicago, Ill., June 13.—Recourse to the Roosevelt men who have been selected as presidential electors in different states is the announced plan of Wm. Flinn of Pittsburgh should the"eonvention . nominate President Taft. -#ha Roosevelt leader ¢made this statement yesterday in'a vigorous attack on the national committee, in which he declared that such a move- ment, while it might defeat the Re- publican nominee for president, would save the party in the big Re- publican states. His position was indorsed by Gov- ernor W. E. Glasscock of West Vir- ginia, who declared all the West Vir- ginia ‘Republican electors are for Roosevelt pnd would vote for him in the electdral college, regardless of the action of the national conven- tion. . Senator Jos. M. Dixon listened to Mr. Flinn and Governor Glasscock and said: “I don’t think there will be any need“for such action. In my opinion Col. Roosevelt surely will be nominated. The Taft forces will not dare to steal the nomination.” Mr. Flinn and Governor Glasscock declared the state conventions in Pennsylvania and West Virginia had not been adjourned and would be re- convened, if necessary, and theelec- tors given ‘positive instructions to vote for Col. Roosevelt if the circum- stances warranted. “We are not going to allow the na- tional committee to destroy the Re- publican ‘party in Pennsylvania,” said Mr. Flinn. “We don’t intend to stand idly by and lose ten or fifteen congressmen and the legislature. We Dropose to protect ourselves at home. Thirty of the thirty-eight presiden- tial electors are for Roosevelt and if they are elected and the nomination s ‘stolen and given to Taft those thirty will vote in the electoral col- lege for Col. Roosevelt. Chauffeur Examinations. . Examinations for = lcenses for chauffeurs will be given at the fol- lowing places, and on the following dates: .

THREE DOLLARS FOR COURSE Season Tickets at $1 Will Cover All Six Attractions at a Material Saving. THIRTY-TWO BOYS ARE COMING Have Signed Applications For the Camp to Be Pitched at the Fair Grounds. Fifty cents has been decided npon as the price of single admissions to the evening entertainments of Uni- versity week. This action was taken today by the committee in charge of the week after a conference with members of the Commercial club, Season tickets have been left at $1 so that by buying a season ticket, the purchaser saves $2 on the week. It is hardly probable that any luncheon will be served to the busi- ness men on Business Men’s Day but the committee looks with favor on the idea of having a luncheon for business men Saturday noon with President 'Vincent as the guest of honor. As Dr. Vincent’s public ad- P. m., many of the business men will be unable to hear him at that time. If the com- mittee finds enough sentiment in fav- or of the noonday luncheon, the nec- essary arrangements will be mlds at once. Press reports from the southerf part-of the state say that the meet: ings are belng well attended and that the people are especially enthusias- tic over the entertainments put on evenings. It is said that the “Mer- chant of Venice” as played by the Dramatic club is proving one of the strongest attractions of the week. Not a little interest is also being cen- tered on the exhibition and demon- stration of the gyroscope as few peo- ple have ever seen one of the ma- chines in action. Thirty-two boys have signed with Profeseor Stewart for the boys camp to date. This number insures the success of the camp and every effort is being made to, plan a good time for the boys while they are in Be- midji. The camp will probably be pitched at the fair grounds where it will be close to the High school farm. The boys will hold stock judging contests, will have baseball games, foot races, swimming contests and other athletic sports which will ap- Deal to them. About eighteen of the boys will come to the city as the- guests of the Crookston Lumber com- pany as they live on land formerly owned by that company. Some changes are cxpected in the program as published in the Ploneer last night but these will be princi- pally in the Farmers’ Day and Busi- ness Men’s Day progrems and will be announced as made.
