Wise Young Women Give
Genial Landlord the
Zig Tag Cross.
LEFT HOTEL WITHOUT ADlOS
OR COURTEOUS TRALALA
HiredFor Domestics They Wished
to Be "Loidies in Waiting
With All Privileges.

Landlord Hannifan, of the
Markham hotel, is an even
tempered man but if it is pos
sible for him to land two young
ladies who let their trunk out of
a third story window at the
Markham last night and left
without the courtesy Of an adios,
or a promise to pay some money
they owe the house, they will
find their visit to Bemidji more
prolific of incident than they
probably anticipated when they
left Duluth several days ago.
Friday Of last week Mr.. Han
nifan went to Duluth to hire some
help for the hotel. He was not
looking for Vassar graduates,
ladies in waiting or anything Of
the sort, but just ordinary help,
the kind that is willing to work
and is necessary to every we'll
regulated hotel. Mr. Hannifan
visited an emplOYmento ounce anu
sent two young ladies to Bemidji.
They received their railroad fare
from Duluth and were guaran-
teed good wages as long as they
cared to stay. They duly arrived
but suddenly decided, however,
that they would not remain.
They wanted steam heated rooms
on the first floor handy to the
fire escape, must have the parlor
to entertain their friends every
other evening during the week
and Sunday night. The bell hop
must be at their beck and call
and they must eat at the pear
table with the travelling men.
Finding that all these conditions
could not be complied with, they
let their trunk out Of the third
story window and took to the
tall timber. They cannot be
found today and no doubt sue
ceeded in getting out OF town
last night.

A meeting will be held at Pet
erson,s hall tonight at 8 o'clock
for the purpose of formally or
ganizing the Bemidji literary SO
.ciety. The constitution and by
laws will be considered among
other things. Ladies as we'll as
gentlemen are eligible to mem
bership and much interest is al
ready displayed. The society
plans to have debates, to read
and review a number of thelatest
stories and to have social pro-
grams from time to time that
will be highly enjoyable. The So
ciety is very desirable feature
as planned and should have the
most substantial encouragement.

Bad Scamp Makes Bluff.

"Red" White, alias s'Brainerd
Red, land a pal named Howard,
who are known to the police as
all around bad men, were in the
municipal court yesterday
charged with yagrancy. They
entered pleas of not guilty and
when given the option Of taking
thirty days in the county jail or
getting out of town chose the lat
ter alternative. White has the
reputation Of being a pickpocket,
highway man and burglar and in
the past has figured in escapades
in this city sufficient to establish
his reputation as a very neryy
crook. He has announced that
he will get even with the police
department but as soon as his
time at the county jail has ex-
pired his case will be taken in
hand and the officers will see
what can be done via the boot
route toward getting White out
of town.

ONE ON COLLINS
Why the St. Cloud Man Will Get no
Delegates at Mcintosh,
Minnesota.

Representative Bennett of Polk
county accompanied the Fosston
football team to this city Satur- ],
day. When approached as to his
views upon the gubernatorial
situation he declared that his
only safety lay in silence since
the Pioneer had some weeks ago
basely given to the world his con-
fdential views upon the proper
mode of raising turnips. In an
unguasrdaed moment, however, =
Mr.. Bennett delivered himself Of
the opinion that Judge Collins
would get few votes from McIn-
tosh. Mcintosh and Fosston1
have long been rival towns and
we're the respective county seats
of counties which it was pro
posed to carve out of Polk county
last year. "If it is possible for
Mcintosh ohate anything worse
than it hates Fosston, said Mr..
Bennett, that thing must be the
supreme court of Minnesota.
Since the court rendered it's de-
'cision knocking out the organiza
ton of Columbia county McIn-
tosh has had but one desire-to
annihilate the whole court. It's
pretty safe to say that Judge
Collins will find it poor picking
there"

STARTLING
FIGURES
Another Way to Get Rich Aside
From Farming and Lum-
bering.

In view of the fact that a min,
ing company has sent its repre-
sentative here to offer block Of
it's stock to our local investors, il
may be we'll to drawacomparisor
between profits arising from the
mining industry and that in
which the vast majority of Min
nesota are engaged namely
farming.
The Bassic mine of Colorado
from FIVE acres sold over 50, coo,
600 worth of ore which equals
5, 100000 bushels of wheat, which
} would require not less than
285, 900 acres of land to produce;
and compared to corn would re.
quire 100000 Minnesota acres
yielding 40 bushels per acre at
5Ocents per bushel.
The Calumet and Hecla mine
from 200 acres has paid over
$50, OOO,O 900 to it's stockholders in
dividends which equals 100000
900 bushels of corn aud equals
ia, 100000 bushels of wheat at
70 cents per bushel, represent
ing 100000 acres.
Six acres of ground owned by
the Independence mine of Grip
pie Creek, Colorado, produced
over SIS, 100000 in gold which
valued in corn represents 30, OO0,-
600 bushels which would require
$50, 900 acres of land and an army
Of farmers.
The above statistics are copied
from the Daily Mining Record
which is the only exclusive daily
mining journal in the world, and
as it also warmly endorses the
Ethel Gold Mining Company in
it's editorials as a legitimate and
progressive mining company, it
may be we'll for our local people
to look into the merits of this
company. If the Ethel makes as
good a showing as is represented
there is no telling what it's 400
acres of mineral lands will pro
duce in comparison to Minnesota
farm lands. And if there is any
thing good offered in this neck
of the woods that will increase
the wealth of our local citizens it
would be we'll not to pass it by.

| City Attorney Russell vester.
day received letter from Attor-
ney General Douglas which final
~ disposes of all the points in
controversy as to the method to
be adopted in organizing the city
Of Bemidji. Mr.. Douglas last
and final opinion is to the effect
that the adoption Of a city char
ter by a four seventies vote ofthe
legal voters after the charter
commission has concluded it's
|labors constitutes the organiza-
ton of a city under that chatter.
The petition to organize the
city under the general law which
was withdrawn some time ago
will be abandoned and the plan
to organize under a charter will
be allowed to proceed without
opposition AS soon as the sig
nature OF the district Judge is
affixed to the petition appointing
the charter commission named
the first step will have been
taken. The commission will
then have thirty days in which to
qualify and will begin the work
of draughtlng a charter for the
government of the city. The
commission has six months in
which to complete it's labors.
It's duties are to frame char
ter for the government of a city.
The charter establishes the
boundaries of the city, provides
Cor officers, the manner of their
election and prescribes the man
ner of general government Of the
city. It must be adopted by the
commission by clauses. 1t is
probable that the commission
will have a number of charters
now operative in the government
of cities in this vicinity up for
consideration. From these the
city charter of Bemidji will be
framed with especial regard to
the local conditions be covered.
1t must then be published and
ratified by a four-sevenths vote
of the legal voters.

School Board Meeting.

The City School Board met Fri.
day afternoon for the transaction of
regular business and to open the bids
for the school bonds.
Several out of town bids were open
ed, but no action was taken and no
information as to the nature of the
bids is being given out, owing to the
fact that one of the bids lacks defnlt-
ness in an important particular. The
firm making this bid will be COM
municated with and upon the reply
received the future action of the
board is believed to depend. The fail
ure of the Board to take immediate
action as to the disposition OF the
bonds can be construed but in one
way-that the out of town bidders on
the 4 per cent proposition advertised,
make better bids than can be figured
out on the proposed sale of ~ per
cent bonds at par to the First Nation
al Bank.
The Board accepted the complete
plans and specifications for the new
school building prepared by Architect
c. G. Wilson. The secretary was
directed to advertise for bids from con-
