THE OPPOSITION
SUBSIDING
Confidence as to Ability of
J. J. Hill's Plan is Grow
ing in the East.
NORTHERN SECURITIES COM-
PANY VIEWED IN NEW LIGHT.
People Who Bitterly A&sai led Com
bination Short Time Ago Now
Favorable to it.
New York, Sept. 2.The private
advices received here by railroad
officials concerning crops in the
Northwest, show such decided
progress that the officials of the
roads embraced by the Northern
Securities company, now look
for a considerably larger traffic
even than they anticipated a few
weeks ago. The expectation is
now generally held by them that
corn will turn out a good crop
and that the roads will have a
very heavy tonnage of grain this
year.
It is claimed that one of the
most satisfactory recent develop
ments is the alleged subsidence
of opposition to the merger and
the growing confidence as to the
ability of the plan carried through
by James J. Hill. It is asserted
that some of the people who
most bitterly assailed the com
bination no more than a few
months ago, have assumed an en
tirely different attitude, and are
now quite favorable disposed to
ward the Northern Securities
company.
It is pointed out that evidence
of the growing confidence, that
notwithstanding the legal ques
tion overwhelming the form of
combination which holds the
Great Northern, Nor I hern Pacific
and Burlington together in the
Northern Securities company,
and the belief that the benefits
conferred by the combination
can be conserved, even though
the form should be changed, is
furnished by the fact that there
has been for some time a satis
factory amount of investment
buying of Northern" Securities
stock.
It is said that this has led to
a considerable increase in the
number of registered stockhold
ers, while it is also asserted that
some of the original ones have
been taking on additional stock.
The investment demand is said
to have come from all sections of
the country and from abroad.
According to trustworthy in
formation received here, this
character of buying has been
particularly noticeable in the
last three weeks, and it is said
that some of the names represent
important new interests.
Pessimists have been ac
customed to argue that an in
crease in the number of stock
holders in corporations signifies
conversely a reduction in the size
of the large holdings and that in
a way the position of the com
pany is weakened thereb3T.
seems, however, that in the case
of the Northern Securities com
pany the selling practically all
conies from the same source and
does not reflect any change of
sentiment on the part of leading
interests. Everybody connected
with the company here is con
fident, and this confidence is
gradually being shared to an in
creasing extent by the general
public.

SHORTEN IT
Duluth Sportsmen Think That
Trout Season is Too
Long.
The close of the brook trout
season in Minnesota brings up
again the well-known need ,.of a
change in the open season of this
delicate and lively species of the
salmon family.
For several years Duluth
sportsmen have been agitating
the need of a shorter trout
season. The north shore trout
begin to spawn in August, and
fish caught during the latter
half of the month are full of
spawn as a rule.
This is why Duluth sportsmen
have been insisting that the
season ought to end Aug. 13 in
stead of Aug. 31. It makes no
difference how early the season
is opened in the spring, so long
as the fish are given a chance to
spawn in peace.

Bemidji, Sept. 1, 1903.
Powdered Milk.
Chemists in the department of
agriculture are experimenting
with a new process for powder
ing milk. It is reduced to a
flour like substance that still re
tains the nourishment of milk
and can be kept indefinitely.
Skimmed milk, which has been a
waste product on the farm, will
assume new economic import
ance, as it makes splendid
powdered milk. If you are mere
ly attempting to sustain life,
powdered milk will serve very
well, but if you want to enjoy
life you will use golden grain
belt beer. It nourishes the body
completely and besides is ex
ceedingly delicious as a table
beverage. You will be glad to
have a case at home. Order of
your nearest dealer or be sup
plied by John Essler. Bemidji.
In view of the passing of the
old time lumber camps and log
ging operations, due to the ad
vent of the newer and more
practical methods, machinery to
take the place of men and teams
and various other improvements
which have made the old time
lumberjack seek other occupa
tions, the announcement that
one of the novel exhibits at the
St. Louis exposition will be a
representation 61 life in the lum
ber camp, as it was years ago,
will be of special in.erest to the
logging and lumber interests of
the Northwest.
The'plan is now being worked
out by a Michigan man. who has
obtained concessions at the ex
position and will run the lumber
camp scene in connection with a
"midway." The exhibit will
show a logging camp manned by
a crew of the typical lumber
jacks of a number of years ago
in full operation. At stated
times the men will be seen at
play, among their sports being
the lu mberjack's favorite pastime
of log rolling.
Kirsch Won Colt.
The colt raffled off some time
ago by Joe Taggart was won by
J. N. Kirsch of Crookston. The
reason of this (the second notice)
is to satisfy the minds of several
who are so anxious to know who
won the colt.
Special Rates.
The Minnesota & International
railway has announced a special
rate of one fare plus 50 cents for

count of the state fair. Tickets

As to the Game Laws and Ship
ping Game Outside of
the State.
There seems to be a general
misunderstanding among sports
men as to which of the game
birds of Minnesota' may bo shot
Before October. The open season
lor all game birds in this state,
except for quail, partridge, ruffed
grouse anil pheasant, opened
Tuesday. It is unlawful to shoot
the above named varieties until
October 15.
Some confusion has arisen in
regard to the shipping of game
under the new code. Xon-res-j
idetits who obtain licenses toj
hunt small game may ship be
yond the borders of the state, to
himself at his place of residence,
not more than 25 game birds, at
taching to the game the coupon
which is a part of the license.
In the same way non-residents
who obtain big game licenses
nlay ship two deer, one male
moose and one*male caribou, at
taching thereto the four coupons
which go with big game licenses.
Why is it that Daily Pioneer
want ads bring such good results?

bridge here for the Ohio River Bridge

Trouble is now anticipated. The

MINNESOTA'S FAIR OPENS.
Senator Fairbanks of Indiana the Ora
tor of the Day.
St. Paul, Sept. L'. The fort) fourth
Minnesota State fair was formallj
opened yesterday morning by Senator
Charles A, Fairbanks of Indiana. Sen
ator Fairbanks spoke interestingly
of the sigriticar.ee of a great exhibi
tion designed to encourage agricul
ture and to display the products of
agriculture. He also talked at son:1
length on matters of national int r
est.
The state fair exhibits have broken
the record, and In class and variety
excel anything the state agricultural
society has ever been able to show.
Secretary Randall estimates that
there is an increase of 25 per cent in
the amount of goods shown and in
the number of animals entered in the
big live stock show.
A good program of races was pulled
off. the principal attraction being the
effort of Dan Patch to lower his rec
ord. The great pacer made the mile
in two minutes flat, just one second
slower that his record. The attend
ance for the opening day broke all
previous re. ^rds.

The number would be larger if sev
