A bill relieving registered pharma-
cfsts from the payment of an annual
fee of 50 was introduced by Senator H.
T. Witherstine Of Rochester. To make
up the deficiency in the funds used for
the maintenance of the state pharmacy
board, the bill carries an annual ap-
preparation of $5,000 The bill also
contains a few minor amendments to
present laws relating to pharmacists.
A bill to prevent the election Of a

without due consideration Of the quail.
fication of the candidates was intro

VIOLATED CAME LAWS:
FINED SIXTY DOLLARS
Charles Bjornson, a Logger North of
Deer River, Apprehended Yes
terday Afternoon.

Charles Bjornson, a cedar con-
tractor who is in charge of a
camp on the Peruna branch of
the Minneapolis & Rainy River
railway, some thirty miles north
of Deer River, paid a fine Of fifty
dollars and costs yesterday, for
having venison in his possession
and feeding the luscious wild
meat to his employees in lieu of
the regulation beef and pork.
Bjornson was apprehended by
A. G.. Rutledge, game warden of
Bemidji, who visited sBjornson's
camps and found that he had one
whole deer. which he had just
skinned, and the green hide of
another, and the meat was in the
kitchen, being prepared for the
regular evening meal of The lum-
berjacks. Bjornson was caught
red-handed, and after a heart
to-heart talk with the warden,
plead guilty to having deer IN his
possession out of season and liqui-
dated to the extent of $50, being
$50 fine and the costs and mil
cage of deputy sheriff.
Bjornson had been feeding
venison to his men for some time
past, it being the custom in the
wild country north of Deer River
to give little heed to the game
laws.
The conviction of Bjornson will
have a wholesome effect on the
better observance of the game
laws in and about Deer River. It
has been almost impossible, for
several years, to secure a con-
viction insItasca county for in
fractions of the game law, and
the present case augurs we'll for
the stopping of the traffic in veni-
son and moose meat which Is
carried on between some loggers
and unprincipled pot hunters in
that country.

CITY BASKETBALL TEAM
The Bemidji Five Will Clash With
Crookston Friday and Saturday
Evenings.

The Bemidji basketball team
will play two games this week
with the strong five which repre-.
sents the Queen City Business
College at Crookston. The first
game will be played on Friday
evening, and the management of
the Bemidji team is making prep
arations to royalty entertain the
visiting players and the friends
OF the game generally.
At the conclusion of the first
game Friday evening", a dance
will be given, the music for
which will be furnished by the
Bemidji orchestra. Professor
O. J. Hanson of the Queen City
college will referee the first
game. W..
The second game will be played
on Saturday evening, and it is
expected that large crowds will
witness both contests.
The Bemidji team has been
practicing diligently for these
games and expects toSgive the
visiting players a gruelling con-
test. The boys have improved
greatly since the game with Park
Rapids and it is believed that
they will win both of the games
played with the Crookstonites.

REWARD FOR INFORMING
ON The CAME v|oLAToRS
Representative Rowe Will Introduce a
General Game Bi|I.-But Few
Changes Contemplated.

Every man in the state will be
a deputy game warden if the
general game and fish bill, which
will be introduced in the house
this week, is passed. The bill
will be introduced by Represent
ative Alvin Rowe of Ramsey
county and will embody his sug-
gestion that a reward be given to
any person furnishing informa-
tion to the game and fish com.
mission which will lead to the
conviction of violators of the law.
In the case of moose and caribou
the reward will be $50, for deer
$25 and for game. birds $50.
This amount will be paid for
each bird or animal, but not
more than $3.50 can be paid to
any person at one time.
The bill will be a re-enactment
of the present game laws with
some amendments and correc-
tions. The date for the expira.
tion of hunting licenses will be
changed from Jan. 1 to Dec. Is.
The penalties for shipping game
will be made more severe.
The bill also will embody the
suggestion of Senator G. A.
Johnson of st. Peter making the
open season for muskrat from
Nov. Is to April 1, instead of
Nov. 1 to May 1, as at present,
and also the provision against
shooting muskrats. It is stated
that hunters shooting muskrats
in the spring occasionally shoot
ducks at the same time, and the
provision is intended to stop such
mistakes. Only trapping here
after will be allowed.
Spearing fish by artificial light
also will be prohibited in the bill
and the seining of minnows in
lakes where they have been
planted by the game and fish
commission will be stopped.
The date for the fishing season
on Lake Superior will be changed
to conform with the laws of other
states. At present Minnesota
sportsmen have fifteen days less
on the lake than the sportsmen
of other states.
Authority to arrest violators
of the law when caught IN the
act will be extended to the ex-
ecutive agent and wardens with
out warrants.

trami County Agricultural asso.
citation was taken up by the club
and the existing conditions rela-
tive to the holding of the next
fair were discussed. The asso.
citation held it's first fair last
summer, at Blackduck, the
agreement with the Blackduck
people being that the succeeding
fairs under the auspices of the
association should be held at the
county seat - Bemidji.. There
appears to have been an absence
OF activity in preparing for the
event, and the sense of the club
members was that the matter
should be looked into at once and
encouragement and assistance
given to the association in sget-
ting busy on the fair PROPOSE
tion, with the intention of making
this years fair q "hummer' in
every sense of the word. The
fair held at Elackduck last year
was a pronounced success, and
the farm and garden products
that were shown there were sent
to the twin cities and exhibited
to the memb bers of the present
legislature as being fine samples
of what the northern Minnesota
farmer can grow on cut-over
lands, which is a big ADVERTISE
ment as to the resources of this
county.
A committee of five members
of the club, consisting of G.. E.
Carson, b. A. Barker, Wes
Wright, W. G.. Schroeder and W.
=. Brooks, was appointed to con
fer with and act jointly with S,le
officers of the agricultural society
and ascertain just how matters
stood as to the fair and the best
methods to pursue to assure sue
cess of the next fair.
The report of Treasurer G.. E.
Carson showed that there was g
balance in the treasury of
$132.82.
New members are being added
to the club, and with the present
harmonious and concerted action
of the mem bers, much good can
be done for Bemidji.
The club will hold meeting
next Tuesday evening, when the
unfinished business of last
nights meeting will be completed
and several new matters taken
up and discussed.

DS0A ASlVOi, phd1C Cu -NoPeCAd-
to Pioneer. )-Deer River is about
the llveiest town along the line
of the Great Northern railway
from Duluth westward to Be-
midi, and the healthy business
condition that prevails here now is
a permanent thing, as the source
of Deer Rivers prosperity is al
most inexhaustible; and when the
country about this place is more
densely populated the present
timber industry will be sue
ceeded by farming and dairying,
which are always permanent fix
lures in any community, and a
sure means of prosperity.
During the present winter,
this village is the hub of logging
operations of a huge character in
the Big Fork country, the only
outlet of which is the Mime
apols & Rainy River railroad, an
enlargement of the old Itasca
Logging company's line, this
place being the terminus of the
road, which extends northward
about fifty miles to Big Fork,
with numerous branches which
run from the main line into the
stands of tim Der which are being
logged. The Itasca Logging
company, Dempsey & Dough-
erty, Pillsbury, Carpenter-Lamb,
and other jobbers have a large
mum ber of camps along this rail-
way and It's numerous branches,
and conservative estimate
places the mum Der of men en-
ployed in the camps at over
10000. Many millions Of feet Of
pine and other varieties Of tim
ber are being logged in the north
country, and the camps where
the logging is being done are
supplied from this village, which
is a great item in the business of
the place. Much of the tim Der
will be manufactured in the local
mill, while a large proportion of
the logs will be rallied to this
place, dumped into the Mississ.
ippi river and driven out of the
country, to be manufactured at
Minneapolis or some point
further down the river.
Besides the loggers, there are
a large number Of settlers ad-
jacent to this railroad who do
their trading in Deer River. The
land which is being cut over has
been proven to be among the
very best for agricultural pur.
poses to be found in the state,
and the future of this north ter
ritory as a farming center is of
the brightest.
The village of Deer River is
growing steadily in population,
and is improving greatly from a
moral standpoint. The popula-
tion of this place last May, ac-
cording to census which was
taken at that time, was $50, and
it is estimated that the mum Der
has been increased by fully a
hundred more since that time;
and this in addition to certain
floating class that call this place
their home, but are here only a
few months in the year.
The moral tone of Deer River
has improved much for the bet

UTEs GREATLY EXCITED.
Efforts Being Made to Get Them to
Return to Utah..

Sturgis, 8. D., March 6.-More ex-
citement is reported from the Ute In
dian camp near Fort Meade. Captain
Hall has arrived from the Uintah res
ervation in Utah for the purpose of
holding powwow to induce the Utes
to return to Utah. When the Utes
heard of the captains coming they
became greatly aroused. Chief Ap-
pah is said to have sent word to Hall
to hold the powwow at Fort Meade
and not to come to camp, fearing trou-
BILE If the young bucks saw him. Ac-
cordingly the powwow was held at
Fort Meade, only a few chiefs attend
Ing. The outcome is not yet known.
According to reports Hall is unpop-

ter during the past four years
Like all frontier towns, where
the country is unsettled, this
place was a rather lax commun
lity, morally, for several years
but this condition has given away
to a much healthier tone and the
village is a very desirable place
in which to live. The residents
of the village, for the most part,
own their homes, and are a
thrifty class.
The village owns it's own sys.
tenn of waterworks and has the
best of fire protection, with an
, up-to-date set of fire apparatus
and a well-organized fire depart
ment. There is a village hall
and an excellent pumping sta
ton.
The business men Of Deer Riv-
er are of the substantial kind,
who own their stores and places
of business and have demon
strated their confidence in the
place by investing liberally in
various lines.
Deer River can boast of two of
the best hotels in the north half
of the state, the European hotel
and the Hotel Mohr. The Europ-
can hotel is owned by A. Nor
rissey and represents an invest
ment of over $25,O00. The hotel
is three.story block, in the CEN
ter Of the village and a half block
from the G.. N. depot. Besides a
commodious Office room and
lobby, diningroom, kitchen and
elaborate bar, there are several
parlors and eighty. five comfort
able sleeping rooms. The build
ing is heated by steam and
lighted by electricity, Mr.. Nor
rissey owning his own heating
plant and electric lighting plant
and dynamo. The Hotel Mohr is
also a large building, with ample
office room, diningroom, bar, ETC.,
and seventy-fve sleeping rooms;
owned by Jacob Mohr. Both
hotels run restaurants in connec-
tion, and there are four other
hotels and restaurants in town.
The Deer River Lum Der COM
pany owns and operates a saw
mill on the banks of White Oak
lake, half mile from the bust.
ness center of the village. This
mill handles all kinds of timber,
including pine, tamarack, cedar
and all kinds of hardwood. There
is in the plant one large band
and resaw, a post-splitting ma
chine and a tie machine, and the
company makes a specially OF
