 And because most of us have left homes elsewhere in order to establish homes in Arizona, there Is, perhaps, no ether section of the union in which the day is more generally welcomed or its significance more appreciated

DEDICATION OF BAPTIST
CHURCH AT LITTLEFORK
Interesting Dedication Services Held There Sunday Rey
H. Robinson Mckee, of Baptist Church:of Bemidji,
Assisted in the Services

The dedication of the new Baptist
church at Little Fork, a new town
on the M. & !. between Big Falls
and International Falls, took place
last Sunday.
The story of the establishment of
the church at Little Fork is an in
teresting one. About four years
ago the now hustling village, with
all modem Accommodations, was but
a sparsely settled backwoods settle
ment, fifty miles from any railroad
and absolutely prohibitive for one to
travel there in the summer, except
by boat.
A few of the settlers who were
there at that time banded themselves
together and started Sunday school
in the old school house, and from
this grew the present organization
at that place, which has been instru-

mental in raising funds to erect this
church building.
The few workers who started this
movement four years ago, deserve a
great deal of credit for their earnest
ness in their work.
Rev. H. E. Fuller, pastor of the
Baptist church at international
Falls, and his wife, have held SER
vices regularly there for some time
past. The dedication services were
impressive and well attended. Ex-
cellent sermons were preached by
Rev. H. Robinson Mckee, pastor of
the Baptist church of Bemidji, and
Rev. E. R. Pope, superintendent of
State Mission,of Minneapolis. Excel
lent music was furnished for all the
sessions of the day.

best of prospects, it being almost

CHIPPEWA INDIANS IN
GOOD SHAPE FOR WINTER
Agent Frater Says Reds are Prepared
for Cold months..-.Logging
on Reservation.

John T. Frater, the Indian agent
at Onigum, the Leech Lake Indian
agency, says of the logging on the
Chippewa reservation and other
matters pertaining to the welfare of
the government wards:
The lumbermen hope to get out
as much timber and more if possible
than last winter on the reservation.
If the season is favorable they will
have aheavy output. The North Land
Pine company will Try and cut 49,
100000 feet. This company got an
extension of two years for the re-
moval of the timber which it pur-
chased and they hope to get out
100,00O,0O0 in three years.
The Burlington Lumber COM
pany is going to try and
clear up its Leech Lake timber
this year and is also operating
on the Bowstring. The lumber COM
panies that have obtained extensions
have from two to three years to clear
up their contracts.
The Indians are going into the
winter in better shape, I should say,
than year ago. They have had
good berry and rice crops and some
of them have earned sums of money
working. Liquor is the only draw
back with the Indians. get along
with them very nicely. 1t would
seem that the Indians are losing
ground as to population. They are
decreasing gradually instead of in.
creasing. There have been more
deaths than births the past year."

TWO BOYS AT CASS lake
ARE TAKEN FOR A DEER
Three Shots Fired at Them BY un.
known Man. ...Stranger Takes
to Woods.

Csss Lake, Nov. 27.-(Special to
the Pioneer. r.)-Hunting in this
vicinity is becoming somewhat dan
gerous, according to the experience
of John Fosvig and Eddie Hanson,
who were out hunting for deer Sun
day. They had an experience which
they will not soon forget.
Tne boys were returning from a
trip through the forest and when a
mile southwest of town, and as they
were passing short open space, bull
lets commenced to sing around them.
Young Fosvig had on duck coat
and some hunter from the thicket
Jumped to the conclusion that he
saw deer and commenced firing at
once.
Three shots were fired before the
boys could convince him of his
error, by their shouts. The hunter
mounted stump, and the boys were
by this time quite angry,in fact angry
enough to return the compliment
with some of his own medicine.
The offender, who was coward,
did not dare face the boys, but ran
away.
While neither of the boys were
hit, they could feel the bullets pass
ng by.

The proceeds of the dance will be
devoted to securing articles of wear
