The work of erecting the new

putting in foundation will be COM

The block will be of solid brick,
one story high, 100 feet long by rs
feet wide, with basement running
the entire length of the building.
There will be an elegant plate
glass front and the walls of the
front will be finished in a light
color. There will be two elegant
show windows in front, with double
plate glass mirrors, which will give
Mr.. Barker splendid opportunity
to display his goods.
The Barker block will be COM
pleted and ready for occupancy
about December 1st. The building
will add very materially to the solid
appearance of the business center oil

river (outside of Lake Bemidji) by
boat servicel And if left undisturbed
for the next ten years, which will
serve the public interest the most,
the roads and bridges or the river?
Which of those different highways
are doing the most for the develop
ment of Bemidji and vicinity?
Leaving it to the people of the
towns of Bass Lake, FROM, Bemidji,
Grant Valley and Jones, to vote on
which public highways to choose be-
tween either the Mississippi river
and boats or the public highway
bridges across the river and roads
to Bemidji and between communities,
l believe the majority will choose
roads and bridges, and the majority,
under our form of government, rules.
Departments of either national
or local government are only machin.
cry to carry out the will of the
people.
Let US consider. If the war de-
partment issued and enforced a rule
that none except swing or lift bridges
could be maintained in those five
towns, across the Mississippi, and
granting that the railroads could
afford to build and maintain such
bridges, with constant tenders day
and night, during the open season.
The tax payers would have TO bear
the burden, if it was done, or the
settlers in the country would be
without bridges.
Therefore, let us strike a balance
of the benefits or disadvantages to
the general community from these
two sides, and use the motto that
what is good for the country around
US, is good for Bemidji and her
people,"

SWeet.voiced Singers.

The Williams Jubilee Singers gave
an entertainment at the city opera
house last evening. There was a
fair sized crowd in attendance, and
the work of the singers was enthus-
iastically received.
The Williams singers have visited
this city on several occasions here
tofore, and they have always given a
fine performance. Last evening
they were better than ever, and
their solos and choruses we're re-
peatedly encored, the members of
the company being quite generous
with responses.
The entertainment was given un-
der the auspices of the Ladies' Aid
Society of the Presbyterian church,
and the ladies are to be congratu-
lated on their enterprise in bringing
to the city such high-class cam
pany.

WOULD CHANGE BRIDGES
ALL ALONG MISSISSIPPI
If War Department Orders Draw or Lift Bridges, All
Existing Bridges in Towns East and South Would
Be Effected Thereby

Representative J. J. Opsahl hands
the Pioneer the following commune
cation on the proposition of the
government ordering draw or lift
bridges placed on the Mississippi
river where the present bridges
are now located:
At the hearing Wednesday before
Major Skunk, relative to obstruc-
tons to navigation on the Missis-
sippi river, between Wolf and Itasca
Lakes. The facts at issue seemed
to be: Shall the war department
promulgate orders, forbidding any
but draw or lift bridges across the
Mississippi, in Towns of FROM, 49,
80; Bass Lake, 1872; Town of
Bemidji, 1868: Grant Valley, 146-
"a; Town of Jones, 1865; and if
such orders are issued and enforced
what will be the benefits and dam.
age or draw back balances at the
end of each year on the credit or
debit side for the general welfare of
Bemidji and vicinity?
Under existing conditions of
bridges, all boats that are owned
here for use on Lake Bemidji and
the Mississippi river, can pass
under all the present bridges; and
during the seven or eight years
of active boating business here how
much actual permanent business has
been built up by freight or passenger
traffic per year by the boat men, up
or down river, outside of Lake
Bemidji?

This is a day of independent
careers. Men are launching out for
themselves. The employees are be-
coming the employers, the servants
the masters, the workmen the owners.
This is not only so in the business
world, but in the ministerial world
as we'll. Ministers are withdrawing
from their denominations and launch.
ing out into independent careers. |
have decided to follow suit and from
now on will conduct a Peoples
church in the City Opera house every
Sunday morning and evening. The
following will be few of the char.
acteristics of the Peoples church:
No denominationalism, no creed, no
oficialism.
3. The church will minister to the
body as we'll as to the soul, will live
for this world as we'll as for the next.
And the pastor will not be found up
in the clouds, but down among the
people, not few of tina people but
all of the people, irrespective of
nationality, color, rank or social con-
dition. The doors will swing open
for all classes of humanity.
4. There will be no membership
in the Peoples church. Hence: in
the nature of the case, there can be
no bossism, no oficialism. It will
be place of worship, minus that
dictation as to what way you must
worship God. All persons will be
on the same level. There will be no
superiors, hence no interiors. There
fore, misunderstanding, jealousies,
hard feelings and quarrels are hardly
possible in the Peoples church.
The pastor will have a we'll
equipped office down town, where
the people may drop in and talk with
him and among themselves. He
will also conduct a free information
bureau, keeping a list of houses that
are for rent and by whom, also list
of those who want help, and so on.
All this will be free.
The pastor and wife will be found
at either the Markham or Brinkman
hotel. The first service will begin
tomorrow evening at 8 o'clock. The
subject of the pastors sermon will
be lust what a Sensible Person
Might Expect"

ElkS Growing.
Onward, for 200 members"

"Onward, for 200 MEMBERS"
The above is the slogan of Chas.
L. Decker, exalted ruler of Bemid il
Lodge, No. 1852, B. P. o. E., and
his brother members of the local
lodge, who are determined to have
a big bunch" of good fellows
horned" as Elks, in order to
properly care for the annual meeting
of the State Association of Elks,
which will be held in Bemidji next
summer.
With this watchword ever in view,
however, much attention is also being
given the quality of those who are
being proposed for membership, as
we'll as the number, with the result
that Bemidji lodge is rapidly push
ing to the front as one of the very
strongest lodges in the state, con-
sidering the size of the city.
Thursday evening last, nine can
didates we're initiated into the order.
The work of the degrees was done
by DR.. ]. T. Tuomy, who was ably
assisted by ]. T. Dolan, of Duluth
Lodge, No. 4O3.
The following were the candidates
who were initiated: J. F. Gibbons,
John A. Mcdonald, Kennith H..
Kelley, James H. Foss and John
Simm of Bemidji; E. E. Smiley of
Nary; Charles Trondson of Black

At the conclusion of the business

hall, and there was general social
gathering.

demand for this or a better service?
Is it practicable or impracticable
to improve the present build of boats
to care for the up and down-river
trade-boats that can pass under
bridges of present height? And if
business demands large double deck
cabin boats on Lake Bemidji, will
this increased volume of business,
by up or down-river service of those
large cabin boats, be enough to
offset the expense of dredging and
keeping open river channels, let
alone the cost of the building and
maintenance in ten or twelve coun-
try villages or townships, of swing
or draw bridges?
Consider and figure matters over
carefully and impartially.
