sufferers are taken into DR.. Pierce's full

Is the Business Mems Club
Dead?

The business mems club Of
Bemidji has not had a meeting
since the Fourth of July and the
failure of that body to meet and
discuss ways and means for the
upbuilding of the city has caused
some of the citizens who are
striving to get new industries
started here to stop and consider
whether or not it is worth the
while.
An incident illustrating the
urgent need in every city Of a
live commercial club happened
the other day. A number of
gentlemen from the southern
part of the state arrived in Be
midi looking for a location for a
lath and shingle mill and a handle
factory. Happening to have an
acquaintance with one of the
business men of the city, they
requested him to give them
pointers about the conditions
existing here with regard to the
business in which they were
about to engage. The gentleman
gave them all the information he.
possessed showed them the ad.
vantages Of Bemidji as a railroad
center, told them Of the almost
boundless areas of pine and
hardwood that surround us, and,
in fact, did everything that he
could to convince them that Be
midi was the only logical point
for factory of this kind.
"Well,'' said one of the gentle
men, syou have about convinced
US that this is good place for US,
but how about a site?"
The Bemidii man replied that
good locations within the city
limits we're numerous and de-
scribed several Of those that
came to his mind.
Selecting one of the pieces of
land described, one Of the men
asked about the price.
"That site,'' replied the Be-
midi man, ''can be bought for
s naming the price.
"WhewH exclaimed the intend
ing purchaser, 1--WE had an offer
from the commercial club of
town not far from here the other
day TO obtain a site equally as
good for one third the price, and
although it is probable that it
would be to our advantage,
eventual, to locate here. we
cannot consider paying that
much for a location. y
These gentlemen left the city
the next morning and will prob
ably locate their plant elsewhere.
Had there been a meeting Of
the Business Mems club that
evening, the matter would have
been reported, the gentlemen in
tending to build the plant could
have been invited and general
discussion among the business
men of the city might have been
the means of securing the loca-
tiOn IF tho nlant here.

admiration for the work done by the
congress when 1t enacted the law
under which the island is now being

experience in connection with its ad-

who devised this law to say that 1t

Washington, Dec. 11.-Senator Bur
rows, chairman of the senate COM
mittee on privileges and elections
called up Tuesday the resolution de-
claring that Hon. Reed Smoot is not
entitled to a seat as senator from
Utah and addressed the senate on that
subject
Senator Burrows said there had been
no proof submitted to sustain the allie
cation that Mr.. Smoot is a polygamist,
adding that the recommendation of the
committee on privileges and elections
In favor of declaring vacant the seat
of the Utah senator is not based on
such charges.
Mr.. Burrows impeachment was
based entirely upon the connection Of
Mr. Smoot with the governing body Of
the church consisting of the presi
dency and the twelve apostles. He
referred to this body as a hierarchy,
and said 1t dominates the state Of
Utah. holding practically every Of
fetal position in the state govern
ment.
Senator Burrows concluded as fol
