It is reported that Bemidji's action, regardipg the pav'ing proposition, voted upon favorably at the municipal election, February 17, received most favorable comment among the officers and members of the Minnesota Highway Improvement association at a meeting held in St. Paul recently by that organ- ization. Bemidji was stated to be one of the first two cities in the state to proceed under the Babcock plan, known as Amendment No. 1, and make its own plans accordingly. This city’s progress in the matter to date is due in a great measure to the work accomplished by City Engineer E. J. Bourgeois, whose plans, when submitted in the rough to the highway association, were passed upon with prompt approval. The matter of working out plans in harmony with the Babcock system has been a hard one for the majority of the city en- gineers to complete, and when it was known by the engineers at the meeting of the association that Bemidji’s engineer had a set of plans nearly completed the fact was given great pub- licity among them. —_———— SUPREME COURT DECIDES AN INDIAN QUESTION. The Minnesota supreme court has decided that adult, mixed blood Indian allottees, living in Minnesota, are not sub- ject to federal guardianship and that probate courts of the state have jurisdiction to administer the estates and determine the heirs of such persons. Decision was rendered reversing the judgment of the Becker county district court in a land case. The supreme court ruled that the Clapp amendment of 1906 removed such mixed blood Indians from federal guardian- ship. ) —_ “TAGBLATT” SAID IT GRACEFULLY. ‘And now Berlin newspapers arecoming to bat on President Wilson, in referring to the Wilson-Lansing episode, and also the.attitude of the president on the Adriatic question, and did the first job gracefully. The Tageblatt declares that Mr. Lansing’s case has been “converted into Mr. Wilson’s case,” and that while it is a purely internal ‘affair of the United States, outsiders are “forced to make the somewhat depressing observation that the anointed of one great nation who was hailed as the herald of world democracy and liberty, is closing his career in open contradic- tion to the will of his people.” i o A bandit cleaned up a victim in Minneapolis after he had followed him home from a street car, and at the point of a gun robbed him of $175. Then it was learned that the victim of the holdup was the financial secretary of the Broom Makers union, -and was returning from a meeting of the local. Some “cleaning.” men and women, is depicted in ""Sun- down Trail,” Monroe Salisbury's newest Universal starring vehicle, which comes to the Rex, Friday. ° 'NEWS OF THE THEATERS “ACTION AND PEOPLE TRUE TO BOOK”"—SAYS AUTHOR “You have put the spirit, the ac- tion, and the truth of ‘Desert Gold’ upon the screen. My ideas, my wishes—even my hopes—have been fulfilled.” The foregoing is tae gist of a con- gratulatory letter written by that fa- mous novelist, Zane Grey, to Ben- “THE BROKEN BUTTERFLY A symphony of love and pathos— a drama that moves the heart with its overwhelming appeal—is ‘The Broken Butterfly,” at the Rex tomor- row, a production by that master- Prr:lf:il::? of the screen, Maurice | jopin B Hamilton, who, with EI- Dasrell Thorne (Lew Cody), a tinge F. Warner, produced for the screen the author's most wiedly-read story, “Desert Gold,” which W. W. HHodkinson Corporation announces for presentation at the Grand theatre tonight and tomorrow. Mr. Hampton’s picturization of “Desert Gold” is the Grey’s production to be produced in accordance with the author’s own views of what the characters he cre- ated in the story should be made to do for the screen—the first to be pro- duced under his personal supervi- sion and the first to receive his per- sonal approval when completed. “There is so far as I know not a lie in the picture,” wrote Mr. Grey. “By that I mean that the people, the scenes and the action are absolutely true to my book as I wrote it.” WELL VENTILATED In spite of the huge crowd that gathered at the Grand theatre last night, it was very noticeable that the entilation ‘system was in perfect working order. The big exhaust fans working continuously, drew in the clean fresh air, while other forced the stale atmosphere out, and the audience enjoyed to the full the pre- sentation of Zane Grey's seven part picturization of his book “Desert Gold,” which will be shown again to- night at that theatre. PILES OF MONEY Five thousand silver half dollars lay unguarded on a table in a motion picture studio recently while sleek moustached villains and unscrupul- ous vampires roamed around the set. The occasion of all this tempting dis- play of wealth was the filming of the scene in “Hawthorne of the U. S. A.” in which Wallace Reid breaks the bank at Monte Carlo. The picture concerns the adventures of two Am- young composer who goes to the Ca- nadian woods secking inspiration tor a symphony, is attracted by the naive gimplicity and beauty of ‘Marcene, whom he finds living with a misan- thropic ‘and revengeful woman who poses as the girl’s aunt, but who in reality has stolen Marcene as a child from her father who had jilted her. “The Broken Butterfly’ ’is an adaption of Penelope Knapp’s novel Marcene, which attained wide popu- larity. It is the story of the checker- ed life of a stolen heiress, whose brief” moments of happiness are blasted by the unmerciful machin- ations of a vengeful woman. NEAL HART THURSDAY The Rex theatre will show a real western photoplay next Thursday, with a real western star. Neal Hart is the star and the picture is called “When the Desert Smiled.” Neal Hart is a college bred cow- boy, who has lived in earnest life the life that he plays on the screen. Oth- er actors may portray the character of a cowboy, a’ deputy sheriff or marshall, a cowpuncher, a driver of a freight team across the Sioux res- ervation; the man who broke up a band of cattle rustlers, but Neal Hart has been each of these and in addition he was a star half-back on his college team. ‘“When the Desert Smiled,” is a gripping story of the plains and Near Hart is the screen’s exponent of true western character- izations. 5 REX THEATER FRIDAY “The west that was” with its pie- turesque lawlessness, its daily shoot- ing scrapes, its gaudy dance halls, its scarlet doves and the flerce un- tamed passions of its red-blooded first of Zane, PO VSR S Y| MRy R THE BEMIDJ1 Daily Fashion -Hint 4539 ¥ MODEL FOR HEAVY SILK.

HART AS “PETTIGOATS” “John Petticoats” is not only the name of the Parimount®Arteraft pic- ture which is coming to the Elko the- atre Tuesday, ‘Wednesday and Thurs- day. It's the name William S. Hart, who stars in the film, gave himself when he discovered that the modiste shop which he jnherited from his de: ceased uncle was not a saloon, as hé in his lumberjack fashion rather hoped, but was a dainty little estab- lishment selling ladies’ frocks and furbelows. According to the story, Bill is so put out by this knowledge that he poses as the store detective to hide his ownership of the place. But murder will out, and, after sev- eral exciting adventures and a tem- pestuous love affair, Bill admits his dephavity ond wins forgiveness and the girl. “John Petticoats” is declared to be a thoroly enjoyable Hart picture .aat presents the star in an extremely novel role and gives him an- oppor- tunity to provide the audience with lots of laughter as well as thrills, WOMEN SEEK WEALTH IN OIL Take Their Chances With Men Specu- lators in New Field Being Devel- oped in Pennsylvania. McKeesport, Pa.—Woman financiers have entered the natural gas fleld de- veloped during the last few months in Snake hollow, almost within the city limits, and are drilling their first well. The ploneers were Miss Isabelle Mil- moe, assistant to the city treasurer, and Miss Irma Atwater, assistant to the city solicitor. . They had heard so many storles of fortunes being made in the new devel- opment that they found a bit of land not under ledse, contracted for a der- rick and organized a company. Drill- ing 18 to be commenced as soon as the plant is on the ground. Development in the Snake hollow field is going on, with every evidence of the old-time “wildcat” oil and gas boom. Town lots on the edge of the city which three months ago were next: to worthless are selling for as much as $10,000 each, and. every time a new well comes in the price goes up. A number of important wells have been brought in by companies whose business it s to search for and find natural gas. But spectacular and pic- | turesque speculation and financing are not lacking. Painter’s Fame Came Slowly. August Renoir, seventy-eight years old, the famous French impressionist, died recently at Cagnes, France, on the day that his picture of the Pont Neff fetched 100,000 francs at an art sale. In his youth he often pald for his din- ner with a picture. Renoir was one of the first of the impressionists. He worked to the last, and died with his palette In his hands. “I feel I am just beginning to know my trade,” he said when he was well over seventy.

Todd, a stock- man near Paulsen ranch. reports catching a forked-horn deer that was held icebound in the middle of the Trinity river. Todd believes the deer was chased by coyotes and ran out on the ice, breaking through when near the middle of the stream. ' The deer could not get out and was frozen in during the night," 3 leaving only its liead dnd-a part’ of its back above the ice. The deer was pulled out and taken to a stable, where it is re- covering from the effects of the H cold. Todd will give the buck an @ earmark and brand before turn- & ing it loose. | “:File o J: Broken Bufterfly™ From the book “Marcene” by ' Penelope Knapp - Depressing “Flying Dream.” . In the flying dream, you suddehly leap off your feet and undergo the ex- | perience of rising *to great heights and skimming over innumerable ob- jects. If the dream énly embraces this and nothing more, it may be tak- en to augur some kind of a surprise, usually of a more or less pleasant na- ture; but if, as so often happens, one imagines one flies to escape some pe- culiarly evil presence, then the dream may be regarded as a warning against some sinister person or plot. Flying dreams generally occur to people with marked psychic tendencles. _ This is the masterpiece of a great, dra- matist. It is the soul of a genius poured into a most inspiring story of a great love and a great sacrifice. ' Subscribe for the Pioneer. Drs.
