DANGER OF FOREST FIRES
IN VICINITY OF BEM|DJ|
Small Fires South Of the City Have
Burned Over Some Little
Territory.

The forest fires, which are prevail
ent nearly everywhere in northern
Minnesota, are very liable to cause
considerable damage in the vicinity
of Bemidji, if some of the incipient
blazes in the woods hereabouts are
not extinguished, and the spreading
of the flames stopped.
During the past two days two
or three small blazes bave been
noticed in the woods south of Be-
midi and these blazes have been
growing and have not been extin-
guished.
No doubt, some careless hun
ter, or other party strolling through
the woods, has dropped a match or
knocked the fire from his pipe
onto the ground, thereby causing
flames amongst the powder-like ma
terial with which the woods are now
carpeted.
Too much care cannot be excer-
cized by those traversing the woods
these days in the handling of matches
and small flames.
A big conhagration can easily be
started in the dry timber.
There is state law which makes
punishable by fine and imprisonment
the starting of any fire in the timber
without extinguishing the flames
before the party who lights the fire
leaves the premises.

for which they are elected, to be
paid in the manner now provided by
law, two hundred and fifty. dollars
theoeot to be paid on the first day of
February, and two hundred and fifty
dollars on the fifteenth day of March,
of each year. :. I
This was an increase of the COM
pensation Heretofore given to the
members of the legislature, and the
act is so entitled.
:Section 9 of Article 4 of the
State Constitution provides that no
senator or representative shall hold
an office under the State which has
been created
or the emoluments Of which
have been increased during the
session of, the legislature Of
which he was a member, until
one year after the expiration of
his term of office in the legisIa-
ture.
There can be no doubt as to
when the term of office of our pre-
sent Representatives expire. They
were elected for two years, namely,
for the years 1907 and 1908, and
will continue to hold their office un-
til the first Monday in January 1909.
This is the declared effect of the
legislative provision relating to that
office as announced in the case of
State VS.. Sutton, 63 Mimi, 147.
I'm the face of the positive pro-
vision prohibiting the members of
the legislature from holding an office

time ago, revoked by the city coun-
Gil, it being claimed that he was not
conducting his place as the law re-
quired.
Mr.. Spillet, in making his appli-
cation, assures the Pioneer that he
will conduct his place in every
way conforming to the ordinances of
this city.
There is no reason to doubt the
gentleman's word, as he has been a
resident of Cass Lake and Bemid il
for the past seven years and dur
ing that time no complaint of any
nature has ever been made against
him relative to his moral character
or has his integrity as business
man, ever been questioned.

Prince Hal Was F0uled.

Reports from Rhinelander, Wis.,,
are to the effect that Prince Hal,
the speedy PAGER, owned by Begs-
ley & Gunsalus of this city, won
second money in the free-for-all
special pace at the Rhinelander fair
Thursday.
Reports printed in the Twin city
papers indicate that Prince Hal was
fouled, or he would have won the
the race. 1t was supposed that
Thomas Newly would drive Prince
Hal, but instead Mr.. Newly entered
Bessie Barolite in the race, leaving
Prince Hal to be driven by an mex
perienced reinsman, who has been
acting as wiper.
The Prince won the third and
fourth heats and would have won
the fifth had it not been for the fact
that the horse was fouled by Newly
and Bessie Barolite, in which Bessie
was set back to third place, leaving
Prince second.
It is more than likely that Mr..
Begsley will 60 to Rhinelander and
will personally drive Prince Hal in
the remainder of the races through
the Wisconsin Michigan circuit.
Just why Mr.. Newly did not
drive Prince Hal instead of enter.
ing and driving Bessie Barolite in
the race is not known.

SEVERAL LOCAL PARTIES
WILL RAISE MANY SHEEP
W. G. Schroeder Heads Party that Will Engage in Sheep
Raising Near Schoolcraft.-Prizes Offered for Best
Sheep Shown at Fair

w. c.. Schroeder and a number
of business men who are associ-
ated with him, will engage extern
sively in raising sheep in Hubbard
county during the coming year,
and they expect to make the sheep
raising business a profitable indus
try in this part of northern Min.
nesota.
Mr.. Schroeder and his associates
have been quietly securing posses
sion of many hundred acres of land
near schoolcraft postofice, about
twenty miles south of Bemidji. They
have number of forties which are
adjacent to each other and which,
they believe, will make most excel
lent ranging grounds for the sheep.
1t is their intention to furnish a
number of these forties for use as
stockades and corrals in which to
keep the sheep and from which
they can be taken to other forties
for grazing purposes. They will
also put in silos and raise corn fod-
der, which will be part of the feed
for the sheep.
It has already been demonstrated
that sheep can be raised in north
ern Minnesota with considerable

profit. The sandy jack-pine soil
which is abundant in northern
Hubbard county, is just right for
grazing purposes.
Sheep can be used for assisting in
clearing the land.
Mr.. Schroeder states that the
sheep will be procured in Montana
and shipped here in large numbers
to be put on the ranges near
Schoolcraft, The sheep will be
given the best care and their pro-
gress will be carefully watched so
that the industry may be noted in
an intelligent manner.
Mr.. Schroeder is an enthusiast in
sheep raising, and in order to incite
the farmers to raising the best vari-
ETY. of sheep he has offered the fol-
lowing prizes to be contested for at
the Beltrami County fair, which will
be held in Bemidji September 24-25-

leave Bemidji at $50 a. M, and
returning from Red Lake will arrive
in Bemidji at about 9 o'clock in the
evening. The new gasoline boat
which the railway company owns
and which is operated on Red
Lake, will be at the disposal of
the excursionists, and where the
crowd will be taken depends upon
the weather. Should the lake be
stormy, it is more than likely that
but short trip will be taken on
the boat. If the weather is fair, the
crowd will be taken to any point
on the lake desired.
There are so many interesting
points to visit on this trip that no
one who can should miss the excur-
sion. There is the old church and
burial ground at Redby, where the
Indians for years worshipped &C
cording to their abort inal ideas;
and the Indian agency. a short dis
lance up the shore from Redby is
always a place of interest.
The fare for the round trip from
Bemidji is but 81.

Many Bemidji people are looking
forward with anticipated pleasure
to the excursion to Red Lake
which will be given under the aus
pieces of the Minneapolis, Red Lake
& Manitoba Railway company, next
Sunday, when a special train will
leave Bemidji for Redby, and
from that place a crowd will be
taken to most any point desired on
the shores of the famous Red Lake,
the largest body of fresh water
wholly within the boundaries of the
United States.

have given a previous excursion
this year, and the affair was very
we'll patronized, the people of the
city and many transcients who we're

A startling complication has arisen
in connection with the contests for
representatives to the legislature
which the voters of this (the Sixty
first Legislative district) would do
we'll to ponder over and take into
consideration before casting their
ballots at the primary election next
Tuesday.
The Crookston Daily Journal has
raised the point that no member of
the last legislature is eligible to re-
election for a period of one year
after the term expires during which
an increase of salary was voted for
the members, which would mean one
year after January 1st, 1909.
The Journal, in it's issue of yester-
day, says:
Are Representatives Holton and
Saugstad Ineligible to succeed
themselves in the next legislature?
The ineligible, or disqualification,
of our present representatives to sue
coed themselves, according to four
we'll known local attorneys, would
appear to arise by reason of the Act
of the last legislature, of which
Holton and Saugstad were members,
in raising their own salaries. This
Act is found in Chapter 229, page
3O7, Laws of 1907, approved April
10 of the same year Section l of
which is as follows:
" COMPENSATION Section l..
After the period for which the men,

sentatives have been elected, the

sentatives of the legislature of the

i Jens J. Opsahl of this city was a
member of the legislature which
voted an increase of salaries of the
members thereof; and if the condi-
tons in Polk county are as repre-
sented by the Journal in the above
article, the same condition prevails
in regard to Mr.. Opsahl.
Mr.. Opsahl is candidate for the
republican nomination to succee d
himself in the legislature. If the
contention of the Journa! is good,
Mr.. Opsahl, should he be nominated
and reelected, could not serve as a
member of the legislature until JAM
uary /, 1912 year after the next
legislature adjourns- Beltrami

tative in the legislature.

under the State, the salary of which
has been increased, for a period of
one year after their term of office
has been expired, it must be con:
coded that we're the present men,
