Mooney came to Bemidji on the
9TH inst, and was making his head
quarters at Dudley's place. He
drank very heavily, but was, a few
days ago, induced to taper off, some
what.
Last night, about 1880, Mooney
sat in a chair in the rear of the
saloon, and it was noticed that he
was snoring quite heavily, in fact,
attention was called to his audible
slumbering, and later when he was
approached it was found that he had
ceased to breathe, and was dead.
The coroner was notified and took
charge of the body, placing in in

A. {. HARRIS HAS LEASED
BEMIDJ| STEAM LAUNDRY
Popular Young Business Man Secures
Five-Year Lease From John Gra-
ham, the Owner.

A. E. Harris of this city, who has
acted as manager of the local ex.
change of the Northwestern Tele.
phone Exchange for the past three
years, has severed his connection
with the telephone company and has
leased the Bemidji Steam Laundry
for term of five years, from the
owner of the laundry, John Graham.
Mr.. Harris lease became effective
today, and he took possession of the
laundry this morning, the deal for
the lease having been closed last
night.
The work of repairing the interior
of the laundry and renovating the
premises is about completed, and
Mr.. Harris will open the same for
business next Tuesday morning, the
plant having been closed since the
recent fire, which damaged the
laundry to a considerable extent.
Mr.. Graham has been repairing the
damage done by the fire and replac-
ing machinery, so that but a small
amount of additional work is required
to place the laundry in first,class
condition.
Mr.. Harris will have the personal
management of the laundry, and
will have associated with him only
the very best help procurable. He
has engaged the services of ]. w.
Spaulding as washer. Mr.. Spauld-
ing has had many years experience
in the laundry business, and was in
the employ of C. A. AIbrant when
that gentleman conducted the laun.

1t is the intention of the new man
ager to do everything in his power to
please the public, ,and with that end in
view will work diligently to give sat
isfaction and will undoubtedly soon
have the Bemedji Steam Laundry
second to none in the northwest.
Mr.. Harris is one of the most
favorably known young men in this
city. He is reliable business mar
and will assuredly do we'll in his
new field.

A MILITIA COMPANY CAN
BE SECURED FOR BEMID,U
No Doubt that With Concerted Effort and Complying With
Certain Requirements, Company Of the
National Guard Can Be Located

By taking the necessary steps to
secure suitable quarters, and keep
ing the same in good condition, it
is probable that the city of Bemidji
can secure company of militia as
a member of the Minnesota National
Guard.
Deputy Postmaster Adam Otto,
ex-sergeant of the U. S. army SER
vice, assisted by several others in
the city, have been quietly investi-
eating the matter, since report
was recently published that the
state would organize new regiment
of the National Guard which would
include eight new companies. from
as many cities in different parts of
the state.
The legislature of .19O5.O6 pro-
vided for the organization of new
regiment of eight companies. Ad-
jutant General Wood, who is in COM
mand of the National Guards, states
that these new companies have
already been apportioned, but have
not yet been fully assigned.
It is known that General Wood is
very favorably inclined tow d
Bemidji and that if the citizens take
the proper steps, Bemidji may be
named as one of the successful cities

and their desires will be ascertained,
before the body is disposed of.
Irwin Logging on the Range.

]. w. Irwin of this city is logging
on an extensive scale this winter, on
the Net Indian reservation, where
he has a large amount of timber to
get out.
There are about twelve million
feet in the bunch of. timber which
Mr.. Irwin has secured, and he ex-
poets to cut and bank all of it this
season. The timber is located about
sixty miles from Virginia, where
Mr.. Irwin has established two camps.
The logs are being hauled from the
camps to point on the Mississippi
river below Swan river, where they
will be dumped on the ice for driv-
ing south in the spring.
Mr.. Irwin left last evening for
Virginia to visit the camps and note
how work is progressing there.
The Bemidji daily pioneer., 1907-12-14

for company of the new regiment.
The principal requirement inn
posed by the state is that the city
furnish an armory for the use of the
company, by either purchasing a
building outright, or renting one.
The state equips the company with
uniforms, arms and other parapher-
MALTA, the cost of which is claimed
to be approximately $1,000. In
order that the equipment furnished
by the state can be properly cared
for, the furnishing of the armory
is one of the requirements of the
company made by the state.
Mr.. Otto and others interested in
the formation of the company have
been looking it up and they state
that the skating rink can be secured
for use of the tobe'' soldiers.
1t is more than likely that
proposition will be made to the city
council at its meeting to be held on
Monday night for the city to pro-
vide for the rent of the rink at
certain given times for the use of the
company.
The is no question but what
company of the state militia can be
located here, if the proper require
mentS are fulfilled.

Now With Carpenter Lamb Company

]. A. Mcdonald left yesterday for
Pequot and from that place will go
to Gull lake to visit the logging
camps of the Carpenter-Lamb Lum-
Der company.
Mr.. Mcdonald, who has been. in
the employ of Backus and Brooks
for some time past, has severed his
connection with that company, and
has been engaged to work with A..
A. Goodrich, the local representative
of the Carpenter-Lamb company.
That company is logging at Gull
lake and hauling the logs twelve
miles to Fitzpatrick lake, where the
timber is being banked for driving
next spring.

John Mooney, better known as

about II o'clock last night, while
sitting in a chair in F. M. Dndley's

American Merchants May Be Allowed
to Trade in Manchuria.

Washington, July 22.-The customs
houses at Antung and Tatungkou upon
the Chinese-Kor frontier and at Dali
ny, within the Japanese leased territory
on Lao Tung peninsula, are In operation,
the latter since July l. A cablegram has
been received from the American legation
at Pekin informing the department of
state that Chinese imperial customs
houses are about to be opened upon the
Chinese RussiOn frontier.
The agreement as to Dalny was made
on May 80 by the Japanese minister at
Pekin and Sir Robert Hart, the inspector
general of the imperial customs. In brief
it provides for the establishment of the
custom house and pTescribes rules for
the navigation of the waters within the
Japanese leased territories, being framed
upon the agreement made in 1889 between
China and Germany for the regulation of
commerce within the German territory of
Kiao Chou. The new agreement is to
be revised next spring after local cOndi-
tons and needs are more fully ascer-
tanned
The state department feels that these
practical steps toward the restoration of
the open door in Manchuria, in which the
United States is so deeply interested,
should be encouraging and gratifying to
American merchants.

NO WRECKS ON THIS RAILROAD.

The Great Western railroad of Ken
lucky has never had a collision. 1t
does not use the block system nor cleo
trio nor pneumatic signals. 1t has no
double track and does not run trains
by telegraph. The road is able to eff
feet these economics by having only
one train on the road-and but one
engine. 1t runs from Harrodsburg TO
HarrOdsburg Junction. There is no
brakeman on the system. The presi-
dent of the road is the conductor. He
is also the board of directors. treasuT-
er. secretary, general manager. super
intendent, paymaster, trackmaster
general passenger agent, general
freight agent, master mechanic, ticket
agent and boss. He even runs the en-
gineer. The engineer does his own FIR
ing and runs the repair shop and
rOundhOuse all by himself, He and
the conductor are the railway. II
keeps them pretty busy, but they like
it. The road pays dividends and some
times the conductOr-presioent gets to-
gether and declares himself an extra
dividend and a cigar. But, after all,
the great charm about riding on the
Kentucky Great Western is that there
is nothing to collide with except the
terminal, and that's fixed so little harm
is done.
