MINNESOTA lost q sun-soul

when to his Maker. Mr.. Evans
was one Of the most cheerful and
kindly men in the world, affec-
.tionate and considerate to a de-
gree, and what men would call a
poor prosecutor AS United
States district attorney for
Minnesota he had yet to acquire
a reputation for harshness, but
had established that q public
prosecutor could be wise without
hardness Of heart AS d candi-
date for United States senator he
conducted a campaign that was
dignifed, manly and courteous,
clean and commanding Of respect.
And when he missed the prize
BY a mere scratch, he was still
manly and cheerful to the victor.
Minnesota could well have spared
other politicians.

In order to abolish trusts,

In order to abolish trusts, it
would be necessary to abolish
the laws on corporations. Who
is there to undertake that Job?
If Ito giant-handed Messiah il on

benefit is ii to mankind to howl
and cry out like a beWildered

council could at any rate see that
the hospital sewer is extended
far enough into the lake to re-
move its present offensiveness,
even if the village has to stand a
part Of the expense, which IT
ought to do anyway. The condi-
ton of the lake front at the point
where the hospital is demon
strates what can be done by pri-
waite parties towards demolishing
beauty spots when they under
take to perform what should be
done by the corporation, and it's
not reasonable to suppose that
the hospital people would reform
their ways if compelled to put
further expense into their sewer
system, unless compelled by the
power Of the corporation.
Cannot the council or the Bust
ness Mems Union take this mat
ter no and make something Of a
record for themselves?

another road northWard from the.

ern part Of the big county to
their county seat town. for q line
is Inevitable from here or near
here towards Warroad or Roseau.
With all of Beltrami and Itasca
counties pouring their travel into
or through Bemidji, il is but g
natural conclusion that hundreds
Of railroad men, not to speak OF
the general public, will make
their homes in Belnidji, # indeed
the railroad companies do not
find il the Wisest thing to do to
make this the combined head
quarters for the two great sys-
TENS.
Bemidji's attractions as q place
Of residence are conceded BY all,
and that is a remarkable guam
!, tity III the upbuilding Of small
city; vet every citizen ought to-
realize that there il more than
that essential. Manufactures are
what maintain healthfnl towns,
even Ia agricnlturM counties, and
Bemidii should not be blind to
that side Of the future. What
will she do?

Another SailbOat.

"A
Kelsey & Reynolds have just
turned out from their factory a
|sailboat which for beauty and
speed is a triumph Its shape
lis somewhat different from other
boats on the lake, butts designer
and builder, ]. w. Kelsey, has
made several previous boats Of
the same pattern which are doing
service on Lake Minnetonka.
The boat is z feet long with a
body of Minnesota white cedar
and ribbed and finished with oak.
The mast and rigging sof spruce.
It carries 800 feet Of canvas. The
boat was built with an object Of
obtaining the greatest possible
speed, in harmony with safety
and comfort, and in the estima-
Stion of the PIONEER man who
rode on it's trial trip Monday, the
aFugative' IS a great success.
Nothing but the best material
has been used in its makeup.
And its weight has been SO
guarded that the whole rig only
weighs about 800 pounds, and
will travel in as shallow water as
a roWboat. For safety it carries
air tanks capable Of floating 1,5o0
pounds.

A recommendation from this
column that his admirers better
send w. r. Street to the legisla-
tnre for a little preparatory work
Induces the Bemidji PIONEER to
respond in this wise: THE
whole of Beltraml county is ia
earnest about it. AS nearly as
1.-THE PIONEER can ascertain, Mr..
| Street has no desire to attend
the legislature, and his Beltrami
county constituents have never
found him wanting in prepared
mess for any sort of work on any
occasion. & The PIONEER is right.
Send him to congress. He will
bring up the average materially.
Mr.. Street has no more sincere
admirer than the writer Of this
column Duluth News Tribune.
The PIONEER is frank to say
that the News Tribune has been
very complimentary to Mr..
Street, which he no doubt appre-
.ciates: but what was meant by
the PIONEER comment was that
Mr.. Street IS too busy making
money to care to be distracted
By an ordinary legislative expert
ence. He is not seeking the con
gressional honor, but would
naturally deem il an honor to be
even considered in connection
with the office, realizing, per-
haps, as well as any man, that
the exigencies Of party may
easily demand the nomination Of
some better known man In the
district some better vote getter
outside Beltrami county, where
he is just now the unanimous
thing.

Brainerd Excursion

The Company f excursion from
Brainerd last Sunday was tow
ering colossal success, as. a
circus hand bill would say. AS
was the Sunday before, the
weather looked squally about
noon, and then the storm God
gracefully withdrew and left the
finest weather imaginable for the
Excursion. The train arrived
about noon from Brainerd over
the M. &. /. railroad. The Is
coaches were crowded with about
], 800 people the best people in
the world. The Brainerd City
band furnished the music Of the
day. Very few of the several
hundred Bemidii people who met
the train at the depot but what
found some friend or acquaint-
anee among the visitors whom
they took in charge as their
guest.
Many of the visitors brought
their lunch baskets and they scat
tered along the lake shore and
spread their tables on the grass.
Others besieged the hotels and
restaurants, and the boWery dim
.ner prepared by the ladies Of the
Spiritualist church were well
patronNed. After dinner a gen
eral rush was made for some
kind Of q boat. Log rolling and
other water sports entertained
the crowd at the landing.
The big event Of the day, Of
course, was the ball game be-
tween the Brainerd and Aitkin
teams. This was the closest and
best balanced game ever seen on
our diamond, we believe. Baldy"
Murphy Of the Brainerd team
was the star Of the game, grab
bling flies outof the treetops and
batting three home runs. The
score at the beginning Of the last
inning was a tie, but Aitkin
finally won, the score standing 8
to IL. The purse was only S25,
although the Brainerd team
wished to play for $500.
One source Of disapp ointment
to the visitors and our own peo-
pie was that the Bemidji band.
did not play as usual. Two hum
,dred dollars was raised hereto Sc
cure the excursion, but none to
secure our band. Tt should be
different. .
