TAL O BEMIDJI
Northern League Promoters Are
Anxious to Take in Several
Mew Towns in Circuit.
The gentlemen interested in
the Northern League are agita
ting a scheme to take in several
new towns in that league next
season and Bemidji has been
mentioned as a likely town for
this circuit. It is thought that
with the addition of Brainerd,
St Cloud and Bemidji, dropping
Crookston and Superior the
league would be a much better
one. Then too, it is proposed to
cut the salary limit down to
about SjH5 so that it would make
better for all managers in the
matter of salaries. Various
papers aie authority tor the
statement that Brainerd is an
applicant for a place in the league
but so far as known locally there
is no one who has such aspira
tions.

Complaint Made That Fuel Is Be
ing Stolen From Wood Piles
Down Town.
amine in the land of plenty
seems to be the condition of
some people who live in Bemidji,
and it is not often that the owner
oi a pile of wood wakes up the
next morning to find it consider
ably diminished as a result ot
the visitations oi nocturnal
maurauders. Complaint has of
ten been made that wood stealing
has been earned on, but up to to
day little notic has been taken
of the diminishing wood piles.
Today, however, L. O. Solberg,
proprietor of a shoe shop on
Beltrami avenue, publishes a
notice in another column of thelegislature
Pioneer, in which he gives due
to certain residents of
one of the business blocks of the
city to the effect that if his wood
is again molested he will cer
tainly make it hot for them. De
velopments are pending.
SCARLETFEVER
Turtle River Children Afflicted
With Disease And
Schools Close.
Dr. P. A, Blakeslee left this af
ternoon for Tui tie River in
rechot
sponse to a message from there
to the effect that a number of
families were afflicted with scar
let fever. The schools have been
closed to check the spread of the
disease, and every precaution will
be taken to guard against conta
gion. Upon Mr Blakeslee's ar
rival at Turtle River he will dis
infect all the building where the
disease has appeared and take all
other preeautionary measures
Paul Well Again.
Paul Poucault, who accident
ally shot himself the arm
about a month ago anJ has been
under a doctor's care at St.
Anthony's hospital ever since
the accident is so far recovered
as to be around on the streets
again. The wound was much
worse than had been first sup
posed, about four inches of the
lle^h, and the bono on the upper
part of the arm being entirely
torn away, and that amputation
was not necessary is almost
miraculous.
No Court Sept. 20.
Little business will be done
by Judge Spooner on Sept. 20, as
the day is a legal holiday and it
is probable that as soon as court
sets it will be ad]curned until the
following- day. Judge Spooner
authorizes the Pioneer to state
that no blame will be laid upon
grand jurors who do not attend
the first day, as many will prob
ably wish to remain at home to
vote at the primary election.
Men Scarce.
T. J. Miller & Co. report that
they haye been receiving orders
almost daily for men for the
woods, but at present the orders
are hard to fill, as men are yery
scarce. The wages are good and
the demand at this time is for
sawyers and swampers. The
exodus from northern Minnesota
to the Dakota harvest fields is
large and this is probably the
cause of scarcity.
Notice.
To Saloonkeepers in the Lum
bermen State Bank Block: If
you are not able to furnish your
own wood let the undersigned
know. I would like to have my
private wood uninterfered with.
If this is not complied with you
will suffer the consequences.
Yours truly,
L. O. Solberg.
Cloquet Next Sunday.
The local base ball team will
cross bats with the fast Cloquet

worth seeing. Cloquet has de

in fact they claim this title.

REVISE CODE
Judge Clark Back From State
Meeting of the Judge
of Probate.
Judge Clark has returned
from the annual convention of
the judges of probate of the state
held at St Paul last week. The
attendance was the largest in the
history of the association and the
meeting proved a very profitable
and pleasant one. Speaking of
the results of the meeting Judge
Clark said that one of the most
important matters taken up was
the decision of the convention
to move for a revision of the pro
bate code. A committee was ap
pointed to raises the code and to
report the matter to the state
for action.
ucige Clark visited the state
fair and declares that it was bet
ter and bigger than ever.
WILL HELP S
Chief Forestor Pinchot Thinks
Forest Reserve Good Thing
For Us.
Chief Forestor Pinchot has
just completed a visit to the for
est reserve at Osiss. Lake and left
yesterday for Washington. In
regard to the reserve Mr. Pin
said:
The principal object of the re
serve are chiefly: To keep tim
ber land growing timber and to
prevent waste and destruction
by fire. Both of these objects it
promises to accomplish thor
oughly well. Northern Minne
sota will be richer be richer not
only in timber and watei because
of the reseave, but the towns in
the neighborhood of it will bene
fit constantly more and more,
both from the industries and
from the summer travel which
the reserve will create. Since
there arc 12.0r 0,000 acres of un
occupied agiicuitural land in
northern Minnesota, it can
scarcely be claimed that the 231
000 acres, mainly of timber land
in the reserve, is hindering the
development of the state.
It can hardly be said that Mr,
Pinchot views are shared by the
people of this vicinity.
Circulates Petition.
A. M. Crowell of Turtle River
well known in Bemidji is in the
city today circulating his petition
as an independent candidate for
county attorney. Mr Crowell
will oppose the nominee of the
republican party and is not with
out hope of success.
Dr and Mrs. E Marcum
returned today from Crookston,
where Dr. Marcum has been
having some excellent spoit
chicken hunting for the past few
days and where Mrs. Marcum
has been visiting relatives for
three weeks past.
Tips of the Tongue
T. Miller -'The past three
months have been the best
months I have ever bad in Be
midji in the real estate business.
The demand ior men at present
is very great but none are to be
had. I have demands for more
than 250 mn and it is hard to
obtain a single one."
E. S. Straw: "We shall soon
be ready for business, the bal
ance of our shoe stock being- ex
pected every day. I have faith
in Bemidji and believe that this
will prove and advantageous
point for an exclusive shoe
house."
J. P. Dunealf: -'Chicken shoot
ing this year is not what the real
thing has been cracked up to be.
Nevertheless despite the wet
weather the first few days we
got a string bigger than any
I have seen. But if I had
to live in Lambert or go to jail I
would lake* the latter right
qu'ek."
A Mayo: "We are not fully
decided about going to Califor
nia, but will probably have all ar
rangements concluded soon. -It
will be difficult
