Forest Fire Did Damage at Baqley.

Bagley April 23.-(Srecial to
Pioneer. 1.-THE forest fire which has
swept over the northern portion of
Clearwater county, destroyed the
farm buildings and other possessions
of many farmers adjacent to Baglpy,
and unless rain comes soon there
will undoubtedly be much more
damage.
The fire swept away the farm
buildings belonging to Tom Torgen-
son, in Town $50, range SO, and
the settlers in that town all report
narrow escapes from being burned
out. They fought..the fire for twelve
hours and were nearly exhausted
before the flames were stopped, and
diverted.
A large amount of cedar and
tamarac was destroyed.
About SIS worth of ties belonging
to the S. P. K. Lumber & Tie
company were destroyed.

JOHNSON WILL BE CKEERED
But Bryan Will Get the Delegates
From Illinois,

From Illinois.
Springfield, ILL.,, April ga prob
able demonstration in favor of John
son aud certain vote for Bryan in
structions are the developments
looked for in the Democratic state
convention.
1t is generally believed that when
Johnson's name is mentioned in the
convention there will be demonstra-
ton of approval, but it is not expected
that any practical use will be made of
the enthusiasm no matter how great
or small it may prove to be. From
present indications the convention
will certainly instruct for Bryan and
the party leaders are unit in declar-
ing that such action will be taken.
Roger c. Sullivan of Chicago, who
will practically dictate the work of
the convention, declared that there is
no possibility of any anti-Bryan in
structions.
The predicted contest from Cook
county to be headed by Robert E.
Burke and Carter H. Harrison is gen
orally regarded as a joke.

Bemidji P. O. Ranks High.

That there are but sixteen post
Offices in the state of Minnesota
that rank higher than the Bemid il
postofice in the matter of business
transacted, is fact which is some
thing of a surprise to the employees
at tn e local postoAice.
First in the list of salaried post
Offices come St. Paul and Minneapo-
lis, with $4,000 salary for the p. M,
then follows Duluth and other of the
larger cities in rotation, with Bemid-
j and several others ranking as the
sixteenth, with the salary at s2,4OO.
The Bemidji postoffice has ad-
vanced rapidly. The office was es-
tablished as fourth-class office in
1894, and was advanced to third
and then the second class, the
latter occurring in March 1904.

B. F. Wright Well Known Here.

B. F. Wright, the Park Rapids
attorney who is candidate for the
republican nomination for judge of
the Fifteenth Judicial district, and
who is at present in the city, is
we'll known to the pioneer residents
of Bemidji.
Mr.. Wright was the first village
attorney of Bemidji, at the time
when Bemidji was part of Hubbard
county. Mr.. Wright delivered the
first Fourth of July Grafton here,
and was quite prominently con-
nected with the old-timers of Be-
midi, and the friendships which
he then enjoyed have followed
through a term of years.

Wreck at AkeIeV.

On Tuesday there was collision
on the Great Northern at Akeley
that nearly resulted in the death of
all hands on the engines.
Engineer Mcknight was running
an engine forward on the same track
that Engineer Godson was backing
one, with the result that McKnight's
engine was badly demolished and he
was hurt quite sevelely.
Godson's engine was carrying 500
pounds of dynamite, so it is reported,
on the pilot of the engine and it is
next to miraculous that an explosion
did not take place with disastrous
results.

May lntr Oduce Another Power Bill,

Washington, April &C. /.
lockwood, attorney for the
Backus-Brooks company, and the
Rainy River improvement company
is here to look after matters in
connection with President Roose-
velt's recent veto of the bill to con-
struct dam at Internatio nal Falls.
Mr.. lockwood is in close con-
ference with ]. Adam Bede who
introduced the bill for the Rainy
River corporation.
1t was proposed to have the pre-
sident make a statement that he
erred in vetoing the bill but he
will do nothing of the kind. The
mos, that he will do is to consider
any other bill which congress may
pass meeting the requirements
which he laid down in his veto
message.

are being conducted. Colonel Kono-
valosef, the Russian chief of staff Of
the frontier guard, who for years has
been stationed on the Persian frontier,
believes that the struggle will not be
terminated until the Persians have re-
ceived a lesson like that of fifteen
years ago, when Russian punitive
expedition crossed the frontier and,
after extended operations, killed over
1000 tribesmen and compelled two
tribes to sue for peace.
The tribesmen are intensely hostile
to the Russians and they mutilate
savagely the wounded Russians that
fall into their hands The brigands
are we'll armed and the operations
against them consequently are made
difficult for the troops.
The frontier guard is inadequate to
cope with the situation and a military
expedition is required to assist them.
No aid is expected from Persia, as
the 'tribesmen neither acknowledge
nor fear the government at Teheran.

REITERATES CHARGE
Bryan Again Declares Money Is
Being Used to Defeat Him.
DISCUSSES RYAN TESTIMONY
Says Contribution of One New York
Corporation to Republican Campaign
Fund of 1900 Exceeded Entire
Amount Used by Democrats.

New York, April 23.-William J..
Bryan, who is at the Hoffman House,
saw a number of interviewers, who
questioned him relative to Thomas F.
Ryan's theory, expressed recently be-
fore the grand jury in this city, that
100000 taken from the Metropolitan
Securities company in connection with
the Wall and Cortlandt Streets Fer
ries railway transaction went to re-
fund an amount originally spent in
the preliminary of the McKinley-Bryan
campaign. 1T carries out your asser-
ton made several years ago that
money was used to defeat you, does
it not?'' he was asked.
1T gives us more of the details"
said Mr.. Bryan. when you stop to
consider that 100000 was given by
one corporation in one city, which
was more than we had from 100000
voters to run either campaign, you
can appreciate the influence that a
corporation can exert when it wants
to-
While it was not exactly campaign
fund Mr.. Bryan said some of it prob
ably was spent to block his nomina-
ton.
Mr.. Bryan reiterated a statement
made by him that money is being
used to prevent his nomination in the
present campaign.
Mr.. Bryan said that he had had no
conference with Charles F. Murphy of
Tammany Hall and did not expect to
see him; neither had he given any ad-
vice relative to the Democratic situa-
ton in New York state. He said that
the name OF Lieutenant Governor
Chanler was among those being con-
sidered as available candidates for the
vice presidential nomination.

OPPOSED BY CONGRESS.
Plan Of Drafting Legislation Through
Commissions


Commissions.
Washington, April 23.-Congress is
preparing to go on record against the
policy of drafting legislation through
commissions authorized for that pur-
pose. Three propositions for the es-
tablishment of important commissions
have been suggested in the present
session and may have to be disposed
of before adjournment. The principal
one of these commissions is that pro-
posed to Investigate tariff conditions
and plan the revision that will take
place next year. Another commiss ion
now in prospect is that before the
house in connection with financial leg
islation and third has been sug-
gested by the National Civic Fedora
ton. The last named would provide
for a general review of legislation af-
fecting capital and labor with the OBJ
ject of suggesting amendments to the
Sherman antitrust law after the man
ner provided by the Hepburn bill,
which was advocated by the president
in special message to congress.
The leaders of the senate and house
have given the subject of the appoint
ment of commissions considerable
thought recently and have reached
the conclusion that any such bodies
organized shall be composed solely of
members of congress. So far as cur
rency commission is concerned the
members seem to prefer one of ten
members, five from each body. If a
tariff commission is to be authorized,
which is not now thought probable,
the number might be increased to
twenty members, equally divided be-
tween the two houses. Congress lead
ers are almost unanimously opposed to
any commission to suggest amend
ments to the Sherman antitrust law.

Fought Forest Fire.

M. ]. Lehman of Lakeville, Mimi,
made a regular business trip to
Bemidji this week, and the Pioneer
acknowledges a pleasant call. Mr..
Lehman is the proprietor of the
Lakeville creamery, and reports
very nice business in our city. He
is also largely interested in farm
lands in this vicinity. He certainly
had the appearance of a fre-tried
veteran this morning, after coming
to town from one of his farms, at
which place he put in the night
fighting fire to save about 900
cords of wood which he had cut and
banked up on his place.
