"A GOOD DAILY"

Messrs. Pryor aud Rutledge,
two able and we'll known news
paper men, have acquired the
control Of the Bemidjj Daily Pho
neer, and certainly they should
succeed IN making that paper in
huential and prosperous. Be-
midi has too many newspapers,
and there is no Legitimate reason
or sound sense in continuing
policies which make this possible.
A good daily newspaper like the
Pioneer, which has the i'm print
of success on every page, will do
more for the credit and growth
of Bemldji than a dozen weak
publications, issued irregularly
and with DO weighty excuse for
existence. In ali cities and
villages where the business men
get behind the credita bic and
honestly conducted paper, the
result has been highly salts
factory all around. When the
business men of Bemidji stop
oolsupport to a paper like the
Pioneer, which is the only pub
LEGATION in that county having
any outside standing, then they
will be moving in the right direc,
ton. -Wadena Pioneer. Journal.

RISING FROM ASHES
San Francisco Celebrates Ami
versary Of Great Disaster.
RAPID RECOVERY APPARENT

Volume OF Business Already More
Than Equals Twelve Months Ago
and the Population ls Fast Ap-
preaching Its Former Figures.
San Francisco, April 19.-Just one
year ago San Francisco was all but
wiped out of existence by fire sue
ceeding terrific earthquake shock.
Nearly 100000 people were rendered
homeless and the financial loss
amounted to about $5O0,OOO,OOO.
The city was left mass of smok-
ing ruins and rehabilitation seemed a
matter Of many years. Today the sun
rose from cloudless sky over busy
metropolis In which the volume of
business more than equals that of
twelve-month ago and whose popula-
ton is fast approaching its former fig
Tres. Such a record is said to be
without parallel.
During the year 100000 has been
expended in the work of reconstruct
ton, one-third of which was furnished
by the savings banks, which, in COM
mon with all the financial institutions,
withstood the disaster without sign
Of weakness. Over $30,000,000 has
been paid for labor, $4,000 men are
now engaged in the building industry,
while before the fire only 10000 were
at work. Temporary construction,
which for a while prevailed, has
ceased and permits for the erection of
first class fireproof structures to cost
over $50,000000 have been granted.
The restoration of old buildings which
survived the flames will require the
expenditure of many millions more.
About 200 miles of street railways,
rendered. useless, are now in running
order. Perhaps the most convincing
proof of the substantial rehabilitation
Of the city is shown by the bank
clearings, which for March exceeded
by nearly $2,5O0,000 the figures for
the same month of last year, just pre-
ceding the catastrophe.
In recognition and celebration of
what has been done services were
held in the various churches and
while not legal holiday work in
many places was suspended. In the
evening the Merchants association, a
prominent factor in the labor of re-
construction, fittingly commemorated
the uprising of the new San Francisco.
This commemoration took the form Of
a banquet at the splendid new Fair
mount hotel, many prominent citizens
being among it's invited guests.

NO TOBACCO CROP NEXT YEAR
Resolution Passed by Association Ap-
plies to Burlcy Tobacco Only.

Shelbyville, KY, Oct. 31.-The Ma
tiOnal Tobacco Growers Association
late today unanimously adopted res
Olutions declaring against the raising
OF a crop OF hurley tobacco next year,
thereby setting at rest all doubt as
to the attitudes of the national assOcia-
ton on this matter.
1t was pointed out that while there
is an over supply Of tobacco in the bur
ley district there is a scarcity of the
weed in the dark districts and non-
production would do no good there.
The same is due of the various other
parts Of the country to such an ex-
tent that the undnimity on the part
Of the members of the National TObac-
co Growers Association could be secur-
ed on the nOn-prOduction plan and
the project would be a failure as a
national movement.
AS the situation now stands without
prospect of change the only non-pro-
ducing district will be the hurley dis
trict, Comprising 1nore than THU t.

THE NEEDS OF THE SOUTH
New Orleans Bankers Views Of
the Situation
Suggests Two Measures of Relief.
Restoration OF Public Confidence
and Plan by Which Cotton Export
ers Can Get Prompt Cash Return.

Washington, Oct 31.-Sol WeAIey
| vice president OF the Whitney Central
National Bank Of New Orleans, who,
with other prominent New Orleans
bankers rave had a number of con
ferences with Secretary C~orteIyou IL
an effort to devise a plan by which
cotton exporters could get prompt cash
freturns from Gotten shipments today
said:
The present situation can 10 re-
lieved in two ways:
First, by the restoration OF conf
dence and the return of money which
has been withdrawn from the banks in
the east during the recent panic.
Second, by the rapid export of our
cotton, wheat, provisions and other
products to create a balance of trade
in our favor and make importation Of
gold in large quantities possible.
The prompt and wise action of Sec
rotary COrtelyou, aided by Mr.. Nor
gan and other prominent bankers has
gone very far toward restoring con
hdence and money is again being re-
deposited in the strong institutions OF
the country.
THE second situation is more diff
cult to solution owing to the necessary
delay in transmitting bills of exchange
to Europe and the time required FOR
purchase and shipment of gold to this
country.
Southern banks are doing their part
by largely increasing their circulation
with the assistance Of thecomptroller
and the secretary Of the treasury I
which will enable them to forward
their foreign bills to New York without
requiring currency for the entire
amount.
New York can, in turn as soon as
these bills reach the otherside import
gold and then transmit currency in
quantities throughout the agricultural
sections of the country"
