Relief Association Gets $861.12.

City Treasurer Earl Cell has re-
ceived from the state treasurer the
sum of $S61.12, being the city's
share of fire insurance policies
written in this city during the year
1907.
The state places a tax of 2 per
cent on all policies written in each
municipality. At the end of the
year, and after all insurance COM
panies have made their reports, this
is figured out for each municipality
and mailed to their treasurer.
This fund goes to the Relief
Association of the Fire Department
being a fund for the sick, injured or
disabled members of the department
and widows and orphans.
The amount received is somewhat
larger than that of last year and
has been placed to the credit of the

Lakeside Bakery Changes Hands.

A deal has recently been closed
whereby w. A. Mcdonald of the
Model Bakery has become interested
in and assumed the management
of the Lakeside Bakery, formerly
owned and operated by E. L. Naylor.
When seen by the Pioneer repre-
sentative today Mr.. Mcdonald init
mated that there were other parties
interested with him in the deal whose
names he did not care to give at
present, but stated the chief object
in view was to put the bakery bust
ness on a paying basis.
Owing to the very high fixed
expense in this line of business the
two bakeries in Bemidji have never
been operated at profit at the same
time and Mr.. Mcdonald hopes by
running the two places in unison to
eliminate many items of expense and
thereby make the proposition pay
ing one as we'll as giving the patrons
better service and better values.
Several new pieces of machinery
will be installed at the Model and
the services of an expert cake and
pastry baker has been procured.
The ovens at the Lakeside will
not operated at present unless the
trade increaues enough to warrant
the expense of maintaining the two
shops.

Plenty of Work Here.

Men need not 60 TO the Dakotas
this fall in search of work as there
is plenty to do right at home and at
good wages.
The two big mills have put on
night shifts. employing a large num-
Der of extra men. The big dam
east of Bemidji, on the Mississippi,
will require more men from now on,
so no one need to go away to find
work. -1~ -
The wages in Dakota are not as
high this year, and in some parts of
the state the crops are not turning

It looks as though the man who
stays at home will be the winner
this year he will not be out his
expenses to the Dakotas and back
and all the lost time.
