county auditor, and the work of ex-
tending the taxes will be commenced
after the meeting of the county
board of equalization, which will be
held at the court house July Is. At
this time the board will hear appli-
cations for reductions, make such
raises as it sees fit, in cases where
the assessments returned by the
assessors appears to be too low.
Most of the assessment returns
are being brought to the auditors
office by the assessors personally,
except from the remote townships of
the north western part of the county
where the total tax extended would
not pay the expense incurred in
bringing the assessments in. These
are returned by registered mail.

Grand Forks ,BaV.

Mrs. T. D. Casey of Grafton, will
be the guest of Mrs. John Lorley,
for a short time at Grand Forks Bay.
Mr.. S. Hey erdahl of Grand Forks
has rented one of the Jester cottages
at Lake Plantagenet, where he will
spend the summer. Some large fish
will surely be caught as Mr.. H. is
an expert.
Mrs. Charles Cooley of Grand
Forks, with her mother, Mrs. Wood
ruff, will arrive today and open their
cottage at Grand Forks Bay. Mrs.
Coolers sister, Mrs. w. A. Gordon,
will join them the first of the week.
Willie Holmes of Lake Side is to
have as his guest Wellington Corliss
of Grand Forks. The boys will no
doubt have a jolly time on Lake
Bemidji, and Wellington will most
probably be reluctant to go back to
the city.

BASEBALL GAME SUNDAY;
BEMIDJI VS.. DEER RIVER
Local Manager Expects to Have Sew
eraI New Men in the
Bemidji Lineup.

Adam Otto, manager of the Be-
midi baseball team, announces that
the Deer River team will play
against Bemidji, in this city Sunday
afternoon, arrangements for the
game having been completed today.
Deer River and Bemidji came to-
gether twice last year, and the
Bemidjians won both contests. 1t
is claimed that Deer River has fast
bunch this year, and hopes to win in
the game here Sunday.
Manager Otto states that he has
at least three new players who will
be in Sundays game. One is a
catcher, whose name is not given
out at present. He is from Inter
national Falls, and is said to be a
good one, Truedell, a pitcher, is
also on the roll, and A. A. Andrews
of Minneapolis, is also a candidate
for the team. It is safe to predict
that Sundays game will be a good
one, and that the playing will be
much better than last Sunday.

THEIR DREAM COMES true
Shippers to Secure a Uniform
Bill of Lading.

Chicago, June 2S-A binding agree
ment between shippers and the rail
roads, the dream Of American com
MERGE, in the form of uniform bill
Of lading, practically has been agreed
upon. Representatives of commercial
interests and all the trunk lines Of
the country have settled upon the
form of the new bill and the inter
state commerce commission has con-
Cured. 1t will be submitted for the
ratification of the railroads and COM
mercial interests of the country early
in July.
The effect Of the ratification will be
to make the new bill of lading a part
of the interstate commerce law. The
shippers then will have the thing for
which they have clamored for the last
decade-a railroad receipt binding on
the carriers. The negotiations have
been thus far carried on by railroad
representatives and members of the
facturers' association.
The new bill will hold the initial
road and its connections liable for
shipment from the time it is delivered
to the company until it is delivered to
the consignee at it's destination.
The Illinois Manufacturers associa-
ton and the American Shippers asso-
citation have pressed the matter be-
fore the interstate commerce commits
sion for three years. The conditions
were agreed upon at a conference May
"a and 25 in Chicago. The conditions
were placed before the Interstate
commerce commission with the view
of having them incorporated into a
law that would be mutually protective
and it was agreed that draft of the
bill of lading and conditions would be
submitted to the railroads and com
mercial interests Of the country early
in Univ

", H, WHALEN LOSES LIFE
IN RAINY RIVER TUESDAY
While Enjoying Favorite Pastime, Boat
Capsizes and He and Companion
are Thrown Into River.

Spooner, Mimi, June 26.-(Spec-
ial to Pioneer. "A canoe ride on
Baudette river yesterday afternoon,
came to a tragic ending when one
of the two occupants of the frail
craft lost his life.
1t was about 4:3O in the after
noon, when w. H. Whalen and
William Higgins, two young men
employed by the Shevlin- Matthew
Lumber company, started out on
the river in their canoe. About a
mile from the mouth of the river the
canoe upset. Higgins could swim,
but Whalen could not. Higgins en-
deavored to keep his companion up
but being disabled by kick, had to
drop him and look out for himself.
Whalens body sank from sihgt.

STRANGE EVIDENCE WILL
PROBABLY CONVICT HIM
A Broken Hat Pin Will Probably Solve
the Mystery of Murder Of Two
Years ago.

The old adage that murder will
out will soon have strange exempli-
fication at Little Falls. When a
certain young man patient, who was
operated upon short time ago for
appendicitis, RECEIVERS sufficiently to
be arrested, he will be lodged in jail
on the charge of murder. The mans
name is Withheld for the present.
While the doctors were operating
for appendicitis, they took from the
mans abdomen a piece of a hat pin,
and it is reasonably certain that the
young man is the murderer of a girl
who was killed near Little Falls two
years ago. It was disclosed that
when attacked the girl used her hat
pin upon her assailant, breaking it.
Now the broken piece of the hat pin
has been found lodged in the sup
posed murderer's abdomen. .--
About two years ago a girl living
at Randall, Morrison county, was
brutality attacked and killed while
on her way home from the railway
station. In the struggle she had
stabbed her assailant with a hat pin
that had broken in the encounter.
At the time of the murder the girl
had lover, and the two we're seen
together shortly before the murder.
The young man was most strenuous
in his efforts to hunt down the muir.
derer and accompanied the sheriff
west to identify two suspects.
Two weeks ago he was taken sick
with appendicitis and while the
doctors were digging around in his
abdomen they found the broken
piece of the hat pin. -
AS soon as the young man re.
covers he will be arrested on the
charge of murder and it is expected
that in view of the strong evidence
furnished by the hat pin he will
break down and confess.

Higgins succeeded in getting hold
of the canoe and finally drifting with
the boat to the shore. He hurried
to town and told of the fatality.
A party fastened to the river and
spent the balance of the day, and
worked late into the night dragging
for the body. The search was re-
sumed today.

VALUE OF ADVERTISING.

q NEW YORK candy manufactures of the
L name of Loft, who does business of one
million dollars year, has been telling how he
succeeded in amassing his fortune. lie attrb
utes his success to advertising and in his
marks are encouragement to timid business men
who are afraid to use the newspaper columns in
legitimately calling the attention of the public to
what they have to SELL One of the important
points he brings out is that perseverance is nee
essary. you don't expect to work one or two
days and then stop do your" asks Mr.. Lott
Mr. Loft was one of the most timid of adver-
tisers. He says that he first put his card in
New York paper one day in the. week and for
three or four weeks he got no apparent results.
The fifth time brought better hck and he
ticed an unmistakable increase in the sales, and
the sixth doubled his business AT the end of
the year he found that his income had doubled.
Then he branched out and used other papers,
with the result OF great increase in his business.
There is lesson in this for live business men
and for those who want to try advertising in
modest way What Mr.. Lott did in New York
city can be accomplished elsewhere on a smaller
scale.
The experience of this New York merchant is
worth considering.
