For Use OF Patients.

Walker, Oct. S.(-Special to the
Pioneer. )-Three years ago the
legislature passed an act, estab-
fishing a sanitorium for the care of
tuberculosis cases, in the state of
Minnesota, and since that time, work
and plans for this institution have
been carried on.
The last session Of the legislature
appropriated sufficient funds to com
plete this, and work has been
steadily pushed during the entire
summer season.
Mr.. Waite, the contractor, has
just completed the last two houses
to be erected this year. These
buildings are to be used for extreme
cases, whereby air treatments in
winter is deemed necessary. They
are built in such manner that the
patient can get all the benefit of
camp life, without enduring many of
its hardships.
The sewer systems and water
works are completed and the entire
work will be turned over to the state
board of control, returning next
week for acceptance, as the only
thing left to be done is the install
ing of four baths and minor fix,

The institution has passed the
experimental stage and will prove q
boon to the many suffering patients,

Greeley Boosts for North Country,

A. M. Greeley, than whom there
is no better "plugger" for this north
country, attended the recent north
country development and drainage
meeting, which was held in Bemidji.
Concerning the meeting, Mr..
Greeley says, in his Big Falls Com

The most important meeting that
has taken place this year for the
relncarnation of Northern Minnesota

GRAND RAPIDS FOOTBALL
TEAM TO PLAY BEMIDJI
Local Team Will Try For Championship
Of Northwest -.Crookston Team
Here the 18th.

Next Saturday the local high
school football team will play their
second game of the season, on the
home grounds with the team of the
Grand Rapids high school.
The boys have been practicing
hard and will in all probability be
IN excellent shape.
Grand Rapids defeated Bemidji to
the tune of IL to O,last year but the
localboys expect to turn the table
this year.
There are several new players in
the local team, among whom is
Bunk" Spider, who is being tried
at end. Homdrom is being put in
at tackle. but this is just temporary
and the lot will be about the same
as the Cass Lake game.
A week from Saturday, the boys
will play Crookston and if they de-
feat the Rapids" and Crookston,
they have an excellent chance to
win the championship of northern
Minnesota. Everybody should buy
tickets to these games, as the prices
are reasonable and the expense of
getting visiting teams here is large.
The lineup will probably be as
follows:
Breneman, c; Jackson, T. G;
Roberts, r. t; Homdrom, T. e; Spider,
|. G; Lycan, |. t; Kruse, !. e; Shocks,
0. b; Getchell, r. h; Carter. |. h;

waters is a memorable sight. Antic-
ipating a large crowd, and with the
object of affording comfort to every
visitor next summer, the committee
expects to install on the lake shore
several hundred waterproof tents,
which will be equipped with kitchen,
dining and sleeping room accommo-
dations. There is not a delegate
who will not appreciate this splendid
idea, affording them, as it will, a
weeks outing where trees fringe the
water and where ] fishing is always
good.
Bemidjl is one#of the best pos
sible feeders for Duluth and Superior,
and every member and employe of all
the wholesale and manufacturing
houses in these cities should make
it a point to visit Bemidji IN August
and become acquainted with one of
their best customers. They will
also learn, while there, that the city
will within five or ten years be one
of the best distributing points in the
state. Rapidly the Koochiching,
upper Beltrami and Itas ca country is
being developed, and these people
look upon Bemidjl as their base OF
supplies. The vast territory to the
north, which is as yet in the pri.
mary stages of development, will
pile into Bemidji more wealth and
prosperity than it's most enthusiastic
friends can dream of in. this day
There is timber in abundance with
all its biproducts, farm land on
which anything can be raised in

there you will get clue on the per

Mizpah, Oct. T. Especial to

darkness she wandered for some

resigned to her fate and did the sen.

rather than continue to wander, and
become lost.
Her friends became alarmed at
her absence, but were unable to find

a search fruitless in the dark waited

She is very thankful that she had

experience and will always know the
feeling of those who are unfortunate
in getting lost in the swamps.

concert band played at the Grand
Opera House last night to one of
the largest audiences ever congre-
gated in Bemidji for an entertain
ment of this kind. The band num-
bered. about forty pieces outside of
the Scotch pipers, dancers, etc. The
entertainment was one of the best of
its kind ever seen here, and the
management of the Grand Opera
House is to be congratulated on
securing an attraction of this magni-
tude. ..-

Harry Sprague, who has been

to be found in the country, and both
conduct hotels that are an honor to
their towns. Nothing will so tend to
injure the future prospects Of a
bright young city than poor hotels,
from which the stranger gets his
first impressions, and Bemidji has
nothing to be desired so long as
Bro. Lycan is there. And for this
assertion we are backed by hundreds
of travelling men who make, Be-
midi.
Bro. Decker has returned from
Philadelphia after apprising hun
dreds of the big men in Elkdom that
Bemidji has one of the best lodges
in the West. His report, while brief,
was to the point, and if he will ex-
plain these black dots" the bunch
will call it square. And if Bro.
Decker declines to do so we shall
call on Bro. Billy Mccormick of
Duluth, who will deliver the goods.
Bro. Decker has passed out few
applications, and declares that Be-
midi lodge must have 200 members
by April /. Well, it can be done,
and there are some good ones up at
international Falls and vicinity that
need the kindly offices of Elkdom.
Bro. Abe Wyler visited the lodge
this month with his arm in a sling.
Various tales are told regarding the
cause of the accident, some attribut-
ing it to one thing and others to
another; but Abe is non-committal,
and we leave the facts to Old Scout
Rutledge, of-the Pioneer, who knows
how to get the story.
There will be plenty of work in
October. Some fifteen candidates
who have been elected are to be
fitted with the horns, and big times
are expected:
Discussion of Bemidji as. a state
convention town is going on, and it
is probable that Duluth and Superior
Elks will join in a special train
proposition. 1t has been stated by
several Duluth Elks that Bemid j
will draw larger attendance than
any city in. the state, and it will not
be surprising if Duluth alone sends
200 to 800. This can easily be done,
and during the winter meetings
more definite action will be taken.
It is estimated by Elks over the
north that the attendance at Bemidji
will average 1000 per day for every
day the state association is in ses-
sion. fhe boys have not yet cea sed
thanking Bros. Carter, Jester, Lycan,
Covington, Parker, George, Phillips
and Ives for their splendid work in
landing the association meeting.
Wait until the big crowds pour in
upon the city and they will thank
them more.
Bro. Martin Linden, at Bro. Ba.
ker's jewelry store, has originated a
brand new Elks' charm. 1t is in
the form of maltese cross, oval in
shape, and will have a clock face
with the hands at II, the elk's
head, embossed, and the letters B. P.
O.. E. in black enameled on a field
of gold. The design is beautiful,
and in view of the fact that the tooth
has been temporarily discarded, will
attract attention in Elkdom wherever
shown.

THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.

The following Christmas editorial
by Mrs. c. c. Van Orsdall, formerly
of Pendleton, grand guardian of the
Women Of Woodcraft and editor of
the Pacific Echo, official organ Of
that order, seems so pertinent at this
time, and strikes the key note Of the
true Christmas spirit so forcibly, that
the East Oregonian takes pleasure
in repeating It. Mrs. Van Orsdan
says:
The Christmas Of this year will not
be quite so lavish in gifts as It would
have been had the money strlngency
not hit the country such a sharp rap
On the knuckles. But IT, IN lieu Of
lavishness, there shall be an acces-
sion Of the Christmas spirit in the
giving. the spirit which gives Of self
and to children. or to those whom
gifts are rarity. and from whom no
sense OF returning obligation is at
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-12-21

tached-the real Christ spirit which
reaches out to confer benefit, pleas
ure and brlghtness-then there will
be at least one vital good from the
prosperity panic"
For several years there has been
movement among thinking people to
bring Christmas oack to some Of the
spiritual simplicity Of earlier times.
As prominent Chicago club woman
recently remarked we have gradual
y pushed the custom OF Christmas
gifts to preposterous limits. We have
degraded It, as a matter OF fact, to
a wholly material basis Of barter and
exchange-not Intentionally, but be-
cause by lmperceptible degrees the
limits OF individual Christmas obli-
cations have been carried beyond all
reason, and we have been forced by
the abuse of its custom to pay our
debts" in this respect.
No sense Of debt or obligation
should enter into Christmas giving.
All right thinking people, however,
cannot escape the uncomfortable
feeling of obligation when made the
recipient of costly gifts by acquaint-
ances. Simplicity in gifts, and con-
filming the circle to those to whom we
give the gift, not for its intrinsic
value, but because it expresses the
best of the giver to the recipient,
would help us out of the quagmire
into which, as a people, we have
blundered.
Let us get back to the spiritual sig
nificance of giving, back TO the point
where We dare to confine our gifts
not only within our means as indi-
but where also every gift
carries from our hearts to the hearts
Of those to whom it goes real and
genuine heart message; an expression
Of a genuine feeling, of warm per-
interest, and the best that is in
US.
Then shall the old joy of Christmas
be revived, and our gifts be glori-
fled.

WHEN WE SEE CLEARLY.

The one supreme object and aim Of
the New Thought doctrine as being
disseminated rapidly throughout the
world today, is to bring men into
conscious consciousness of their own
being: to make them understand that
God is within them; that heaven lies
within their reach and that majority
of the troubles and miseries of the
world are imaginary and self-imposed
and can We avoided and prevented by
thought. AK
When we come to see clearly that
we are the authors of our own trou-
bles, largely we can certainly avoid
those thoubles. When we understand
that the human is a part and parcel
of ...@ infinite mind, that nature has
prepared a royal path to happiness,
If we but recognize and follow it, what
greater human achievement can be
conceived?
We are now like the other in one
Of Anderson's fairy tales. We have
lost our eyes; but when our eyes are
given back to US and we look within
our own hearts and see the mission
of life clearly and understand its old
mysteries and its old problems, We
win wonder how we could have been
so blind before.
Man is invested with the dignity
and power of a very god, if he will
sust, in and develop them; there is
no limit to the power Of intelligence;
we can conquer self and destroy our
unfavorable environments if we will

SCHOOL FUNDS AND POLITICS.

The following editorial from the
Kansas City Star on the handling Of
Oklahoma's school fund will apply
directly to Oregon, in the light of a
recent adventure with a busted"
trust company and a state treasurer
in Portland. The Star says
The law passed by the Oklahoma
legislature giving the state treasurer
authority to deposit the s5,00O,O0O
school fund In the state banks, re-
quiring from the banks ample secur-
ity to protect the deposit, was adopt
ed as an emergency relief measure.
SO long as the school fund is not
endangered, the new state could prob
ably find no more profitable invest
ment for it, so far as the public is
concerned, than to place II in banks

THE END OF WRONG DOING.

When the high handed grafters in
public, state and school lands were
getting rich in oregon through
crooked work. they were a most af-
fable and congeniaI bunch They
held the political machinery of the
state in an iron grip, parcelled Off
ces, named candidates, dictated poll
cies and made money like any bucca-
neers.
That was the hey day and noon
tide of their prosperity and they
could not see the ominous warnings
of the future.
Now that they have been caught,
indicted, convicted. sentenced, chased
out of the state, killed politically and
ostracised by an indignant people,
they are a repentant and fearful
bunch.
This is the day of reckoning. This
IS pay day. They have enjoyed the
springtime and noon tide of plunder
now they must settle. Many of them
are past middle age. They are brok-
en- down in health and moral power
They are hanging on to every thread
of an excuse TO square" themselves
with the people, but they are doomed.
AS long as they were in power and
enjoyed the fruits of their dishonest
schemes, everything was pleasant and
serene. Now that their plans have
been upset and their wrong doing
exposed, they stand up in mock-hero-
ic dignity and denounce every accuser
as a malicious, v!llianous perse-
cutor"
It is the end Of wrong doing.
Wrong doing may be pleasant at the
time, but the aftermath is shocking.
Men should think Of this when they
are young and strong and capable.
They should not lay foundations for
heartaches, disgrace and odium.
"Time evens up all things"
There is not one Of the land thieves
who would not now be glad to cast
away all Of his ill-gotten wealth and
sacrifice all the property he has ac-
cumulated in a lifetime, If he could
recover his honor and self respect.

crops.
But Oklahoma should understand
that its school fund will always be
temptation to it's politicians. A sacred
trust Of this KIND should be safe
guarded from the boodlers and politi-
cal brokers, though the experience Of
other states has been that there is no
such thing as a sacred fund to the
average politician.
The first care of the new state
should be a safe investment for its
school fund that will remove it from
any possibility of successful attack
from public spoilsmen.
