BEN BARNES HAD NARROW
ESCAPE; FELL FROM CAR
Face Badly Scratched and Neck and
Shoulders Bruised---Rendered
Unconscious BY Fall.

While Ben Barnes was on top
of a boxcar on the NJ, R. L. & M.
sidetrack near the Douglass Lath
mill yesterday, he accidentally
fell from the top of the Car to the
track below and was severely in.
jured.
The fall rendered Barnes un.
conscious, and those who rushed
to his assistance thought he had
been instantly killed by the fall.
Barnes was revived, and an ex.
animation showed that his face
had been quite badly scratched,
and his neck and shoulders were
bruised, but the accident-resulted
in no injury that is considered of
a very serious character.
Barnes is thankful that he did
not fall on some vital portion OF
his body, from which he would
have received fatal injuries. He
is an employe of the Douglass
Lum ber company and works at
the lath mill.

MILL. PARK RESIDENTS
WANT SCHOOL BUILDING
Petition Submitted to Board---B0ard
Will Provide Rigs for the
Scholars.

At the last meeting of the board
of education, a petition was sub
mitted from the residents of
Mill Park addition, which re.
quested the board to act on the
proposition of erecting school
house in Mill Park.
AS it would be necessary to
hold an election before such a
building could be erected, the
board discussed the proposition,
pro and con, and finally laid it on
the table.
The Pioneer is informed that
at the next meeting of the board
it will be decided to hire rigs
that will take the children re-
siding in Mill Park to and from
the schools during the cold
weather, so that the inconven-
ience Of travelling back and forth
during winter will be overcome,
to a great extent.

cit is claimed that the older
counties in the southern and cen
trail sections do not realize the
needs and demands of the north
ern half Of the state because
people in the thickly settled por-
tions are not personally inter
ested in the above questions.
IA prominent citizen from
northern Minnesota, now in
Washington, said yesterday:
North of the forty~sixth par
allel is an empire with resources
to develop the greatest state in
the Union.
while we are all friends and
good neighbors to the southern
section, it is only fair to say that
neither in congress nor in the
state legislature do we get the
square deal such as President
Roosevelt exempliies.'
"While it may provoke much
discussion before division is &C.
complished, still it is regarded
as by no means impossible with
in the next ten years."

The sale made this week is a
direct result of desire to invest
in northern Minnesota lands.
Mr.. Whitmer, the owner of the
lands transferred, has held them
for some time, and he has sold
them to party who believes
that he can realize handsomely
on his investment, by holding
the lands for a year or two be-
fore disposing of them.
All of the 6,619 acres lie in
Town 146, ranges "a and IS, and
is south and west of the village
OF Wilton, all being within a
radius of fifteen miles of the city
of Bemidji. The land is very de-
sirable for farming purposes;
considerable of it lies along the
banks of the Mississippi river,
and but little is of swampy
nature.
While he was here, Mr.. Whit
mer also sold to Mr.. Towne
eighty-four lots in the townsite
of Wilton (the plat of which
is owned by the former)
and about sixty acres adjoining
the townsite. For this last trans
fer, Mr.. Towne paid $4,000.
The deeds in the transaction,
together with the other papers,
have been filed with Register of
Deeds Harris and recorded in
the books in the Office. Mr..
Whitmer, in recording the mort.
cages, paid $107 into the county
treasury, as mortgage tax, as per
the new tax law.

PATRIOTIC SPEECHES STIRRED
CHILDREN AND OLDER PEOPLE
H. W. Bailey, 1. G. and r. H. Pender-

Were the Speakers.

In accordance with a custom
which has prevailed in Grand
Army circles for several years
yesterday was set aside for the
comrades of R. H. Carr Post,
No. ia, Of Bemidji, to visit the
schools of the city and address
the students on the matters
pertaining to patriotism and 10y
atty to our country.
A number of the old vets and
their ladies visited the different
schools and made addresses te
the scholars, the occasion being
one greatly enjoyed alike by the
"old boys" and the newer gen

H. W. Bailey, commander OF
R. H. Carr post, visited School
Building No. 8 and delivered an
address 1neach of the rooms
Mr.. Bailey took for his subject
the cost of the civil war, and
spoke feelingly of the terrible
loss of life occasioned by the
great struggle between the
north and south, and the enor.
nous amount of money that was
expended before the great strug
gle was ended. Mr.. Bailey's ad
dress was a very able one.
At the central school building,
L.G. and T. H.Pendergast spoke
to the students IN all five rooms.
L. G. Pendergast oficiated in
two of the rooms on the lower
floor, T. II. having charge in the
other two. Both gentlemen
spoke to a large audience in the
high school room. The brothers
are both excellent speakers, and
they gave very interesting talks
on the cost of the civil war and
it's terrible loss of life. Their
speeches were replete with pat.
riotic sentences that stirred
their auditors to prolonged ap-
plause.

LARGE AREA OF BELTRAMI
LANDS SOLD FOR 81 ACRE
g. r. Whitmer Of Sioux City, Iowa, Sells 6619 Acres of
Cu-OYer Lands to NJ. C. Towne Also of Iowa..
Lands Are Near Bemidii

Six thousand, six hundred
and nineteen acres of Beltrami
county cut over lands we're sold
and transferred this week, the
total consideration for the land
being between$45, 900 andS5O, 900,
the owner of the lands and the
buyer both being residents of
Iowa.
G. r. Whitmer, a resident of
Sioux Falls, S. D., sold the land
to M. G. Towne, who lives in
Polk county, Iowa.
The fact that the cut-over lands
of northern Minnesota are among
the best in the entire state for
agricultural purposes is a fact
which the people who do not re.
side in the northern tier of coun-
ties have been chary to admit,
it having for many years been
the accepted belief that the soil
somewhat mixed with sand (com-
monty called jackpine land)was
unfit for agricultural purposes.
During the past three years,
the hardy settlers of this com.
munity have demonstrated that
all kinds of cereals can be raised
here, with excellent results, both
as to quality, quantity and profit
for labor expended. This fact
is being spread broadcast thru
out the country at large, with the
result that landseekers from all
northwestern states are turning
their attention to northern MINI
esota.

Recently, Frank Ives, editor

Gated the division of the state,
from east to west, cutting the
