M. & I IMPROVES ROAD 2 Mileage to Brainerd Imcreased But Safety of Passengers Doubled By the Change. S00 RATES ARE UNCHANGED Few changes in the rates will be made on the Soo Raiflway after to- day, owing to the fact that the ex- act two-cent rate was put into effect July 21. The fare to Winnipeg will remain at $5.38, as will all other rates except the fare to Duluth and Superior which. has been -reduced to: $3.32. The fare when charged at three cents per mile was $4.93, but was reduced to $4.10 after July 21. One effect the new rate change will have that will benefit Bemidji people is the enabling of the local agent to sell through tickets to points in other states. Since the two cent rate took effect anyone wishing to purchase a ticke: to another state where the mileage rate was either higher or lower than in Minnesota, the local agent would be forced charge three cents a mile throughout 0 the entire trip unless the traveler should wish to buy his ticket to the state line and then pay his fare to his destination at the rate charged per mile in that state. According to R. E. Fisher, he is now able to sell tickets to any point and charge the regular two-cent rate. Another change that will be made is the increase of the rate from Bem- idji to Brainerd. The rate is now $1.86, but will be increased to $1.90 after today. This change is due to the fact that the Minnesota & In- ternational Railway has eliminated several curves and changes in the road by building the line south of Pine River. Although the change makes the line two miles longer, it also improves the road as it'is now less hazardous and improves travel- ing. Whether or not this change will eftect the fare to the cities is not known at present. Twenty-Five Couples Dance Twenty five couples attended the Hallowe’en dance which was given by the young men of the city in the City hall last evening. Remfrey’s four piece orchestra furnished the music for the occasion. The hall was well decorated and the orchestra was partially hidden from view by black and orange streamers.

McCann is well known in Bemidji and has lived in this vicinity for the past 12 years. Accordiug to his friends he has wealthy relatives in Canada but he has never corresponded with them and has shosen a life of hardship in the woods rather than remain at home. McCaun is & habitual drunkard and several times has been on the point of death as the result of liquor.

Ice skating is now at it’s best and it is now perfectly safe to venture out a long distance. In the curse of a few days it will be possflbl‘e to skate the lake with out dangerias the ice s now nearly one inch thick. This out|. door sport’ promises- to become es- pecially popular this winter and all Bemidji young people will undoubted- ly take advantage of the clear ice be- fore the snow prevents good skating. BRINKMAN BILL GOOD Garrison Sisters in Posing Act Make = Big Hit One of the best bills of the season at the Brinkman theatre is being put on for the latter half of the week, continuing tonight and tomor- row evening. The headliner is the posing act of the Garrison Sisters. These two women are clever. The youngest of the two girls is recog- nized as being the most perfectly formed girl in the world. She is not yet twenty years of age. This young women has posed for all of the lead- ing artists of the United States and Europe. The Poshay Brothers in a whistling and imitaing act are clev- er, Loggers-Must Post Notices One of the laws passed at the last session of - the legislature provided that loggers must _post notices In their camps, giving a description of the lands on which timber is to be cut. A copy of the notice must also be filled with the state forester.’ One of the chief- objects of the law is to provide rangers information as to where cutting is going on so that they can give instructions for the disposal of the slash as the cutting proceeds. The expense is often there- by reduced for the logging compan- ies. Some of the most disastrous fires in the forest regions are due to lack of slash disposal. The law passed, providing for notifications of log- ging operations, was but one step in the campaign to protect the timber of Minnesota. QUIET HALLOWE EN Polioe Aud Special Offioers Had Little Trouble In Maintaining Order—No Damage Eepomd ALL WINDOWS WELL PAINTED Lads With Soap Furnish Much Excitement—O0ld Time Lake Shore Tricks Entirely Lacking Whether it was the vigilance of the Bemidji police force or whether Hallowe’en pranks have lost their attractiveness for tne young people of the city is Hard to ascertain but it has”been especially noticeable this year. that very little property was “destroyed and only jack-o-lan- terns and soap Were used In celebrat- ing. No arrests were made by the po- lice- and- mno reports have reached n_ollce headquarters of where young men have been unruly. Not a bell in the city was rung nor did the school nouses suffer any damage as the re- sult of the event. In former years much property wag destroyed and the police force asslsted by special officers werc gept busy keeping the unruly young men under control. “Gangs” could be seen in every block and out build- ings suffered at their hands. This year the officers éven forgot that it was Hallowe’en as no gangs could be found to be broken .up. Store win- dows about the down town district were well soaped but signs, gates, wagons and other loose objects were not disturbed and Bemidji tically as clean today as before. In years gone by, the lake shore on days following Halloween' was usually decorated with wagons and other property which the boys in their fun had rolled down the em- bankments. Last night the lake shore was a peaceful as on any Sunday af- ‘ternoon. G N. TO CHANGE TIME e A l:.uIyE;st Bound ?a‘ne‘nger To Leave Hour Earlier—Afternoon Train Changed.

C. Stiles, buttermaker for the Bemidji Creamery. This week Nick Nelson of Maltby received $8.71 for eight gallons of cream brought to the creamery. This is only one instance where farmers have received good money for their cream as every week similar amounts are given to the var- ious farmers. More cream can be used as the amount brought in is not suf- nicient to supply the large demand for the Bemidji product. Mr. Stiles churned this morning but only 310 pounds of butter which is a small amount in comparison to the amount of orders now placed with this con- cern.

LIMERICKS CAUSE MUCH FUN Rendering a program that was considered equal to any ever given by students of the Bemidji High school, the members of the Sopho- more-Senior Literary society won credit for that organization when they entertained a large number of their friends and relatives yesterday afternoon in the high school assemb- 1y room, Arvilla Kenfield opened the pro- gram with a piano solo. Miss Ken- field proved herself an excellent musi- clan and this number recelved a great deal of applause. -Ralph John- son followed with a talk on the his- tory of the day, and the manner in which he described the ancient cus- toms and beliefs won him credit. The third number was one of the secret selections that had aroused the curiosity of all the students. As soon” as James Sullivan, the chair- man of the association, ~had an- [nounced the number,:20-sixth grade bays, all clad in witch custumes or wrapped in sheets, dashed onto the stage and sang “Spirits of the Night.” Miss Margaret Newton had prepared the boys, and the number was con- sidered one of the features of the program. Ruth Miner read a carefully pre- pared paper on “Ghost and Goblin in Literature.” A quadruple recitation followed in which Florence Freeze, Jeanette Stechman, Robert Shaw and Arthur Breen took part. Each re- cited a different piece and all were speaking at the same time. To de- seribe the situation would be impos- sible but the audience showed their appreciation by forcing the students to return to the stage. This time each sang a different song and as a result pandemonium reigned su- preme. Just which one was making the most noise was nard to judge, but that the number made a hit with the audience was a certainty. Miss Helen Minnick gave a read- ing from the “Legend of Sleepy Hol- low.” Miss Minnick ‘displayed her ability in a creditable manner. The Freshman Girls' Glee Club sang “The Joys of Spring” This club is rapidly becoming popular and will probably take part in the ma- jority of the programs to be given throughout the school year. Miss Hazel Hulett gave a comic recitation entitled “Seein’ Things at Night,” and was followed by a special number prepared by Marjorie Shannon, Cor- raine-Carlson, Dolly Koors, Edna An- derson and Lucile Moritz. These young ladies, dressed as witches, danced about a large kettle and re- cited quotations from the Shakesper- ian play “Macbeth,” and recited lim- ericks pertaining to the 1914 gradu- ating class. This final number was prepared by the Bemidjl high school. The fol- lowing are the quotations: Jessie Dodge Here’s Jessie, who came from the Normal, START CAMPAIGN FOR MENBERSHIP At Important Meeting Of Commer- cial Club Tuesday “Hustling” Committee To Be Named P — FIFTY BOOSTERS ARE NEEDED —— Plans For Entertainmen 0f Develop- ment Association To.Be Completed —To Revise “Facts” On next Tuesday campaign which of being a evening a glves promise nummer will be started for the purpose of gain- ing new members for ‘the Be- midjl commercial club. Homer Q. Baer, secretary of the club this morning announced that officlals of the organization had decided to at the next meeting appoint a commit- tee which should have charge of the campaign for at least fifty mnew boosters At present the club has Just enough members to pay the current expense of operating the club rooms. The new members are required in order that the club may have a sur- plus, which is needed at various time. Club That “Gets Things” Bemidjl’s commercial club 18 known over the entire state as an organization which ‘“gets things.” Its club rooms are the talk of Min- nesota, for féw towns the size of Be- midji are as fortunate in providing its commercial clup members with 2s fine a home. The membership campaign committee should have lit- tle trouble in securing the fifty ap- plications for admission. This is by no means all of the busi- ness which will take up the atten- tion of the members at the meeting. Plans for the entertainment of the fourth annual meeting of the Nor- thern Minnesota Development as- sociation will be discussed and per- fected. Opinion of the press in this section of the state points to the largest convention ever held by the associa- tlon. Co-operation is to be the motto, Facts About Bemidji Since the organization of the club it has kept up a list comprising facts about Bemidji. At the meeting Tues- day tRISFIISt will be revised. Another thing which will be brought for discussion will be the preliminary plans for the entertain- ment of those who will come to Bem- idjl next September to attend the convention of the county commis- sioners of the state. It was because of work done by A. E. Rako, chair- man of the Beltrami county board of commissioners, and an invitation ex- tended by the Commercial.club that the meeting was landed for Bemidji and it will be the desire of the club to give them an entertainment which will be long remembered by each of the delegates. At least three hundred visitors will be brought to Bemidji for the convention. CLERKS TO SELL LICENSES Town Officials Provided With Big Game Hunting Permits—Is Ac- comodation To Hunters & CAN BE SECURED AFTER NOV. 7 James L. George, county auditor, in order to accomodate the hunters of -the county as much as possible has sent to each town clerk a block of big game hunting licenses, which may be secured after November 7.
