Plumbers have completed installing a steam heatinz plant and the building will be kept warm al winter so that it will be un- necessary for car owners to drain the the raditors to prevent freezing other improvements are now being planned and will be completed early this winter. The interior of the en- tire building will be white washed and decorated and several modern machines will be installed. A crane will be installed in the work shop which will enable the workmen to remove engines from the cars men to do the repairing much more quickly. New cars are being received for the trade together with a demonstrating Buick which is now on exhibition. The machine is of the latest model and is equippel with all modern convinences.

THANKSGIVING FAITH. 3 Here is a story apropos of Thauksgiving for which George Ade, the humorist, is directly re- sponsible. *‘The only time T ever believed in the transmigration of souls was one frosty November after- noou on my Indiana farm," he said to sone friends not long ago. “It was a day or two before Thanksgiving. The trees were bare. The fields were a russet brown color. Toward me ove those russet fields strutted a yery plump, very large, very turkey. “Then it was that an ardent belief in the doetrine of metemp- sychosis seized me. “You 1 said to the superb bird—'you are now a turkey. And you will die tomorrow. But cheer up. Your mnext transmi- gration will be into the body of a bumorist not unknown to fame.’ ** young Beltrami Looses Five Postoffices and Two New Ones are Established— 48 Opened In State | THIRTY-NINE AREDISCONTINUED Thirty-nine postoffices in Minneso- |ta have been discontinued and 48 new offices established in the northern | this year.

The fleecy white which dead- ens the noises of the brush and en- ables the nimrod to track the wound- ed game has threatened several times but in each instance the weather man failed to produce. Many who went out at the begin- ning of thé season returned with the avowed intention of remaining until they should be able to hunt with snow. The seasons is nearly goae and the ground is still bare. Many are doomed to disappointment in this re- spect and some of them are taking to the pines in the hoye that they will be able to bag their game without snow or that it will fall by the time they get located in their camps. Large Number Killed Large numbers of deer and moose | are being killed but the slaughter is| much less than would have been the: hunters claim that as many deer, are | killed without snow as with it, but| that scores of deer are wonded and | die in the woods without being found. | iThe suggestion that the opening of | the season be made later has met| with much favor among the. large| army which each fall takes to the woods for deer and moose. H Enjoyable Outings | The weather thus far has been | ideal and many who have mot suc-| ceeded in landing game have had en- Jjoyable outings in the outdoors dur- ing the finest time of the year. The hunters would prefer- a lower tem- perature with snow, especially those who have moose in the woods. They are often shot in swamps; 4 long Wiy from roads and railroads, and which are almost inaccessible until they| freeze. Very often they are obliged to | leave their moose for weeks, until they can get a road swamped out.!| | point the game is in great danger of spoiling. The majority of these will cut up their moose and pack out as order to save them from total loss. The deer hunters are hurrying in their game faster than they would in many cases for the same reason. Make “Drives” The larger parties have as a rule had better success than the smaller ones. They have been able to make “drives,” some of them stationing themselves on runways about small swales and thickets while other mem- bers went through them chasing out the deer for the watchers to shoot. By repeating this operation they have “worked” ‘the woods in- their vieinity thoroughly and in almost every case the large parties have come back with their fill quota. ‘l May Play High School Team. Arrangements are now being made for a basket ball game to be played between the Bemidji Athletic Club and the High school basket ball teams. The contest will be played the first part of next week and will be played merely for practice. This will be the first opportunity for the Bemidji rooters who are showing an interest in basket ball to see the city team in action. Games are now be- ing arranged for the Season but ow- ing to the early date no game could be arranged for this week. i Rev. J. J. T. Philippe was call- ed to Blackduck this morning at four thirty to administer the last Sacra- ments to Mrs, Spielman of that vil- lage who is now in a critical eondi- ‘on. Father Philippe returned tc Bemidji on- the eight o’clock train. Photo by American s Association. SLAUGHTER 1S IMNENSE More Big Game Arriving in Bemidji Than Ever Before—No Moose Yet Shipped Here. OUTSIDERS GET . MANY DEER With four more days of the big game season, Thomas Lloyd of the Great Northern express office re- ports the largest number of deer ever shipped into Bemidji, been the two ~ weeks. Official reports day that 181 deer and no moose have been shipped into Be- midji. The shipments are increas- ing daily and the law allows hunters five days after the season closes for shipping game. While the record of number of deer shipped last year is not available Manager Lloyd says that the shipping this year is a large per cent over that of last season. Hunters returning from the woods say that large numbers of deer and moose that have been shot are still in the woods awaiting cooler weath- er for handling and shipment. Much of the game has been shot in places where transportation is next to im- possible until the lakes freeze over. The cooler weather of the . last several days has made shipping con- ditions much better. While have last to- received during show passed through the city. A large] number of deer. have also been brought into Bemidji which have not ‘been handled by express. Mr. Lloyd said that it would be impossible to say how many deer have been ship- ped through Bemidji but that the total would probably pass the two hundred mark. Many of the deer which have been killed have been secured by mon-residents of the state, persons being from Illinois, Iowa and THE CUB REPORTER BOSS WaNTS A THANKSGWING— POH-UM Indiana. no | moose have been shipped into the| Bemidji express office several have| KK KX H K KKK KK KKK KK * In order that employes of the % X Pioneer Publishing company % % giving day, there will be no is- %! * sue of the paper tomorrow * KKK KKK KKK KKK KKK HOUSE CAUSES COMMENT W. B. MacLachlan’s Residence Inter- ests Prospective Builders- W. B. MacLachlan has ceased work upon his residence at the cor- ner of eleventh and Bemidji avenue for the winter-but will commence ac- tive work again in the spring. The building promises to be one of the‘ most modern and up-to-date resi- dences in the city and is causing a great deal of interest among the pro- spective home builders of the city who have been watching the con- struction work. The exterior of the building is being covered with a heavy layer of cobble stones set in mortar and-a special preparation. Mr. MacLachlan plans on building a large wall around his lots of the same material and build a drive way through his yard. The improvements on this corner make it especially attractive and many visitors have consulted w’th Mr. MacLachlan about the work. Very few cities can boast of build- ings erected from this material and Mr. MacLachlan is credited with the most unique plan of home building ever attempted-in this city. Blackduck Priest Leaves. Reverend Father Von Ville has left Blackduck for points in Ohio after spending the' past month as pastor of the Catholic church of that village. Father Von Ville for the past few years has been a missionary in African missions and was unable |to cope with cool temperature of Northern Minnesota. Blackduck will be without a priest for several weeks until Bishop Timothy Corbett of Crookston can appoint another pas- tor. Tt is probable that an appoint- ment will be'made about New Years. % may properly observe Thanks=+% - TOMORROW IN CHURCHES ;ogeste;t.chuiél;es To Hold Union Services in Baptist Church— Catholic High Mass P REV.

DENOTIN MORE wPeed THAN DIENTY N BT FORTY CEN CRARTER DEFEATED BY LARGE VOTE Only Half of Voting Strength of City Turns Out at Special Election and Commission Form Loses 183 FAVOR IT283 AGAINST Carries in Only One Ward of The City, The First—Third and Fourth Vote Heavy in Opposing it With but half of the voting strength of the city entering the Doles yesterday the proposed new charter for Bemidji, which would have placed this city on the list of towns of the state governed by the |commission form, went down to de- feat by more than one hundred votes. Carries in One Ward But 466 votes were cast in four wards of the city. The largest vote was recorded in the first where 132 ballots were cast. This ward was also the only one in the ecity in which the charter received the majority of votes, 75 being for it and 57 against. An extremely light vote was cast in the fourth ward, in which the business district of Bemidji is locat- ed, only 85 voters visiting the polls. But 22 voters favored the charter here. How the Votes Went The result of the election in the four wards of the city follow: Yes No Total ~ 75 57 132 50 78 122 36 85 121 22 63 85 283 466 . First Ward Second Ward Third Ward Fourth Ward Total 183 Heavy Opposition The wards in which the vote was heaviest in opposition to the char- ter were the third and fourth. Another fact which makes the de- feat of the proposed charter all the more great is that it not only failed to receive a majority of the votes, but would have had to have four-sevenths of the total vote cast in favor of it to become in force. Why It Was Defeated Several of the chief points used against the charter as it was put up to the voters were the following; gen- eral objection to the clause refering to the duties of mayor; the clause regarding franchises; not making it necessary that the proceedings of the council be published; the fact that the voters had nothing to say con- cerning which commissioners would have charge of the department of public affairs, finance or public safe- ty, and that the commissioners would have the authority of placing them- selves on whatever committees so desired.
