The idea is that one “‘plane” could range over a vast extent of terri- tory and detect fires at a distance, where scores of rangers- -on foot could not get over the same ground.

JOE BUSH MARRIED. Star Pitcher of Athletics Weds Philadelphia Girl. Joseph Leslie Bush, the Brainerd product, who pitched on-Monday for the Mackmen, was married shortly after his return from Boston to Philadelphia yesterday, to Miss Syl- via E. McMahon of Bordertown, N. J. The ceremony was performed at the St. Columbus Roman Catholic church. James Walsh, one of Bush’s team-mates, was the best man.

During the summer months two'of the com- partments are filled with gasoline and one with kerosene, but during the winter this is reversed. John T. Roe, local agent of the company, now supplies Turtle River, Becida, Solway, Wilton and the town of Northern with oil, and until recently carried to Cass Lake, in which place a branch is now being located. NO ELECTION AT PIONEER. No Officers Named—Auditor Sending Out Necessary Supplies. James L. George, county auditor, and his assistants, are kept busy being dug by J. H. French on his farm west of Bemidji. The potato tract is three and a half acres large and the “spuds” produced are unmi- form in size and perfect. Several va- rieties are grown in the plot. The ground is covered with potatoes as they are dug. Mr. French says 400 bushels to the acre is being secured. Several bushels of Mr. French’s po- tatoes will be included in the Bel- trami county potato display of the Great Northern railroad in its Pa- nama-Pacific Exposition building. Allen Huck Killed. Mrs. William Hillgrove and daugh- ter, Miss Florence Huck, left last evening for Moose Jaw, Canada, where they were called by the death of Allen Huck, son of Mrs. Hill- grove.
