LANG is BACK
FOR SHORT STAY
Bemidji Real Estate Man Re
turns From Indian
Territory.

3 NJ. Lang, Of the firm of Lang
4 Carter Of this city, has re-
turned to Bemidji after an alb
sence in the Indian Territory for
9 year and a half. His stay here
will be short, however, as he is
planning on returning south
within a week or two.
Mr.. Lang is the picture of
health and vigor and declares
that there is no country like the
Territory. Not only is the climate
there Of the best, he says, but
business conditions are picking
up and be prophesies a big move.
ment in land, in which he is ex-
tensively interested, within the
next few months, or the next
year.
ssConditions in the Territory
have been a little backward, " he
explained, ION account of the old
law forbidding the Indians to
sell their lands. But the new
law provides that each Indian
may sell his surplus land, which
in most cases amounts to about
a half Of his holdings.
FsThe government, when it
divided the territory, appraised
the land and gave each man, WON
an and child $1O42 worth. Half of
this was taken out in homestead
land, which the Indian cannot
dispose of, and half in what is
called surplus land. The number
Of acres each was given varied
according to the soils value" :
Mr.. Lang thinks that the.
Indian Territory IS destined to
become a rich and prosperous
country. He says the soil is of
the best and that there are some
immensely valuable coal deposits
there. =@.- .

LOCAL BAND FOR
TOURNAMENT
"Bemidji Day" at Cass Lake,
June Fl, Will Be a
Hummer.

Il, presenting the local tourna.
ment committee of Cass Lake, A.
G. Rutledge, secretary of the
Northern Minnesota Firemen' s
Tournament association, closed a
deal today whereby the services
of the Bemidji band have been
secured to play at Cass: Lake on
"Bemidji Day" Thursday, June
81. ~
Thomas Symington, leader of
the band, says that he will have
his best musicians out on that
occasion, and that if the crowd of
Bemidjites will follow the band,
there will be something doing at
Cass Lake every minute during
the day.
Mr.. Rutledge is also arranging
a ball game between the Bemidji
team and possibly Cass Lake or
some team from the range towns,
which, together with the annual
parade of the fire companies and
association championship hose
race, will make "Bemidji Day"
the banner day of the entire
meet. -.
The finance committee at Cass
Lake has been very successful,
and their selections for sub
scriptions have met with very
liberal responses on the part of
the residents of Cass Lake.
Sufficient funds have already
been secured to guarantee all
purses and prizes, so all that re-
mains is to provide the program
of fremen's races and contests,
and other amusement features,
which is being done and all will
be in readiness for the event in
ample time.

SHOULD OBSERVE
MEMORIAL DAY
Citizens Ought to Turn in.
and Help G. A. r. With
Preparations.

But three weeks remain be-
tween now and Memorial Day
and the Pioneer believes it but
fitting is at this time to sug-
gest the proprlety of observing
the day at Bemidji with appro-
pirate services and sacredness.
While it is paramount that the
initial step should be taken by
the mem bership of the G.. A. r.
we believe that it is the proper
course for the citizens to shoulder
this responsibility and treat the
remnant Of that once magnifi-
cent and patriotic army as their
guests.
AS they advance in years
their activity ceases and the
once stalwart army becomes
weaker, and rapidly fades away.
The remaining members still
harbor the same patriotic spirit,
The Pioneer would suggest
that the citizens take hold of this
matter at once and thereby AVOID
any misunderstanding that
might afterwards come up. The
G.. A. R. post is making prepare
tons for an appropriate cele ra-
ton and citizens desiring to help
can do no better than to com.
municate with the G.. A. r. and
offer what help they can.
1t is not necessary to urge
upon the citizens of Bemidji the
celebration of this day, as we all
know it is our duty to do what
we can to honor the graves of
our departed heroes, and show
the living the reverence we be-
stow on the men. who sacrificed
their lives that we might stand
as a united nation.

The Philosophy of Thunder.

Thunder is caused by the lightning
spark heating the air in it's path, caus-
Ing sudden expansion and compression
all around, followed by as sudden a
rush of air into the partial vacuum
thus produced. If the spark be straight
and short the clap will be short and
sharp; if it's path be long and crook
ed one succession of sounds, one aft
er the other, with characteristic. rat
tie, will be heard, followed by the
echoes from other clouds. The echoes
have rolling and rumbling sound.

he could not find Mr.. Johnson
anywhere around the place and
after scaling the logs, left the
scale on the table of the shanty.
He reported this to one Of the
neighbors.
No search was made at that
time as it was thought that John
son had gone for supplies or was
visiting some neighbor.
Last week when L. G.. Beach
was bringing down his raft to
the Sherman mill he found it
necessary to pass through lot
OF logs on Johnson's place. He
noticed a small raft with a cant

MANILA FREE TO
SHIPS OF WORLD
THE PHILIPPINE COMMISSION
WILL COLLECT no MORE PORT
CHARGES

WASHINGTON, Sept. ALI tom
mage and navigation duties in the Phil
ippines have been abolished by an act
of the Philippine commission passed
August 81, Of which notice has just
been received. In announcing the
change the bureau of insular affairs
says
THE government of the Philippine
islands was authorized to modify, sus-
pend or repeal the publication quoted
respecting tonnage dues by section II
of an act approved February 6, 1905,
which was continued i'm effect by Sec
ton 20 of the act of March 3, 1905,
above referred to.
by this act of the Philippine COM
mission Manila becomes, in fact, the
only free port, in so far as tonnage and
navigation dues are concerned, in the
Orient Hongkong, which is usually
referred to as a free port, imposes a
tax designated Light dues of one cent
Mexican, per ton. Singapore light dues
of cents per ton; Saigon, is cents per
ton; Shanghai 20 cents per ton, which
includes all tonnage dues at that and
other open ports of China for four
months; Yokohama and other japanese
ports 21a cents per ton for each entry,
or TX cents per ton for a period Of
twelve months without additional
charges.
1.-THE vessels most favorably affected
by this will be those from the United
States and other places remote from
the Philippine islands, which in gen.
eral had to pay the full six cents per
ton under section IA, of the act of
March 8, 1905, heretofore in force. The
vessels least affected will be those sail
ing between Manila a~d Hongkong
which, making from "a to 40 entries in
Manila in one year, by taking advan-
tage of the 80 cents maximum per ton
per annum, paid little over 1 cent per
ton on each entry. This, it is thought,
with the very greatly Improved port
facilities in Manila, will remove the
last complaint against that port.
THE income to the Philippine gov
eminent from the above source, which
is by this act given up for the future,
was between $50, 900 and $4,000.
