Congressman Mann and His Associates
investigating Timber Supply Of
This North Country.

A portion of the committee of
congress, which is digging up facts
relating to the timber supply of the
United States and of which James
Mann is the chairman. passed through
Bemidji last night on the north
bound M. & I. passenger train to
International Falls, where they will
inspect big power dam which is be.
ing erected at that place, and also
look over connections in relation to
the timber supply with special
reference to spruce and other timber
used in the manufacture of pulp and
paper.
This committee has been examin-

interests.

Held Pleasant MEETING.

The Brotherhood of David, Mrs.
Cunningham's class of the Methodist
Sunday School, met Wednesday even,
ing at the home of Mrs. S. Cutter
of this city, there being very large
attendance.
One new member was taken into
the brotherhood and the boys
certainly enjoyed the fun of bring
ing him in" An excellent lunch
was served to which the youngsters
did full justice.
Great interest is being displayed
among the younger lads in the
growth of the membership of this
organization and with out doubt
the meetings will be held in some
place other than the homes of men,
bers, owing to the large and increas-
ing attendance.

and seven women from Nymore in

wells to the state bacteriologist to
determine which one I shall con-
demn.''
I then asked: us there anything
else?" r..
DR.. Blakeslee replied: mo.
Nothing beside the Brosie case"
The above, or words to that effect
were printed in the Pioneer of yester-
day evening. We understand that
DR.. Blakeslee says that he did not
say that the Nymore people had
diptheria. Above we give our repor-
ter's version of the interview.
-. We have found the young man to
be pretty accurate in getting his
news matter, and we leave it to the
public as to the correctness of his
version or that of DR.. Blakeslee.
However it is very evident that
there was no diphtheria, but prob
ably fever, aud we regret that the
article was printed at all. We trust
that the reference to diphtheria will
result in no injury to the hospital.

CAUSES Wild PANIC
AMONG HOMESEEKERS
Dallas, S. d. Threatened by a
Prairie Fire..

Dallas, S. D., Oct 1 This town is
seriously threatened by a prairie fire.
Several buildings have caught and
others are in danger. A general panic
among the homeseekers prevails.
Every resident and visitor turned
out to fight the fire with wet blankets.
Flows were put into service digging
trenches. Several small residences
caught fire, it is thought from the
back fire.
The fire came in from Trip county.
A panic reigned in the town. Many
left as soon as possible, some of them
going on foot, carrying their hand bag
gage. The largest crowd for the reg
istration was in town. The wind was
terrific. It started from the north
west, changing to the southwest.
Trains were held at the station hav-
ing instructions to carry as many peo-
pie out as possible. The fire protec-
ton Of the town is confined to two
small hand chemical wagons, manned
by the citizens. The water supply
would have been fairly good, but the
pressure was insufficient to force the
water through the hose

Was Our Reporter ''Stung"?

Through =. information given
Clarence Shannon, who assists in
getting news matter for the Pioneer,
we last night quoted DR.. Blakeslee
relative to alleged cases of diphteria
which had their origin at Nymore,
also stating that the patients had
been taken in at the st. Anthony's
hospital. 4:
When our reporter first told of this
interview, he was instructed by the
manager of the paper to be very
careful and ascertain for a certainty
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1908-10-16
he truth Of the statement as he had

the truth OF the statement as he had
secured it.
Mr.. Shannon then telephoned to
the st. Anthony hospital-and it is
very evident that the person at the
other end Of the phone misunder-
stood Shannon, as the latter says
that the hospital folks admitted that
there were diptheria cases in that
institution. No doubt the person in
charge of the phone at the hospital
misunderstood the young man and
thought it related to fever patients,
as there are several in the hospital.
The local hospital never accepted
an inmate who is afflicted with
diphtheria. The Pioneer makes this
statement on the authority of the
hospital people and to rectify the
mistake made in last nights paper,
which it is evident was not alto
gether the fault of the Pioneer.
In explaining the interview with
DR.. Blakeslee our reporter says that
he was talking with the doctor on
other matters and then asked him if
there was any other news.
DR.. Blakeslee replied: You
might put it in that I went over to
Nymore yesterday afternoon and
padlocked all of the wells" Then
he laughed and said, You ought to
have seen the people. -but
they we're mad," and he laughed

BROKEN BY MISS ELKINs
Latest Story Of International Engage
n1ent.

Latest Story Of international Engage
Rome, Oct. 1j.-Following the an.
nouncement that the engagement be-
tween the Duke of Abruzzi and Kath-
crime Elkins no longer existed it was
strongly tntimated that the duke had
obtained an extended leave of alb
sence and that he has made a post
haste departure for America.
1t was declared that the duke faced
a dilemma that can only be compared
in history to that of Napoleon's Young
er brother and his "Betty of Balti-
more" 1t is said that he is struggling
between the dictates of his heart and
the call of his country.
It is admitted in Rome that the en-
gagement was. cancelled by Miss FL
kins herself, although the only an
nouncement has so far been made by
the duke. Miss Elkins' American
spirit, her dislike for the notoriety at
tending upon the engagement and her
disappointment at the obstacles raised
by the family of the duke caused her
so summarily to deliver to Abruzzi his
congo, it is said.

BIG PROJECT FOR VIENNA
System Of Underground Railways for
Letters and Parcels Planned.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
VIENNA. July IA project for the
construction OF a system Of electric I'M
derground railways for the conveyance Of
letters and small parcels to connect the
sixty-four largest post offices. the central
parcels office and the principal railway
termini of Vienna, is under consideration.
The tunneling Is to be carried out at
such a depth that the water and gas pipes
and the telephone cables will in no way
be interfered with. The railway will have
total length of forty-seven miles and
will be partly circular, but the principal
stations will be connected by direct lines.
The tunnels will only be sufficiently
large to accommodate the mail trucks,
which are about five feet high. The trucks
will run either singly or in trains made
up Of four trucks. The loading and un-
loading Is to take place in the cellars Of
the stations. and one mail cart will hold
eighty parcels.
The trains will have speed of twenty
one miles an hour and will run regularly
at twenty minutes interval from am.
to 10 pm, but should necessity arise they
could be dispatched every three minutes.
The new system will relieve traffic con-
gestion. as 450 mail vans, with zoo horses,
making about $500 Journeys a day in all,
will be taken OF the streets.
