The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1908-11-10

The need of a night train on the
Minnesota & International and
Northern Pacific railways, to be run
between the twin cities and inter-
mediate points over the N. P. to
Brainerd and from the latter place
over the M. & I. to International
Falls, was never more apparent
than at the present time, as people
who are bound snorthward from
Brainerd, after boarding the M. & I.
train at Brainerd, are unable to
secure seats or hardly can they be
crowded together so that standing
room in the coaches is not at a
premium. s-
For some time during the past
summer the railway, companies
jointly put on so-called weekend"
special train which was run from St.
Paul every Saturday evening to
International Falls, returning leav-
ing the Falls" Sunday evening and
arriving in St. Paul Monday fore
noon. The train was popular one,
from the start, and though but little
advertised, did much to relieve the
heavy travel at the end of the week.
That train has been taken of-and
at time when there is very heavy

Chairman Brown, of the Republi.
can State Central committee, has
announced that Jacob F. Jacobson
will probably not consent to again
become a candidate for governor,
and that suggestions for a republi-
can gubernatorial candidate for
1910 are now in order.
The Pioneer believes that Julius
A. Schmahl, the present secretary OF
state, would make very acceptable
candidate for governor on the repub
lican ticket-a man who would be
elected if nominated.
Mr.. Schmahl's home is at Red
wood Falls in the southern part of
the state, and he is very popular in
the southern counties.
During his term as secretary of
state, Mr.. Schmahl has become we'll
acquainted in the north half of the
state and has done much to better
the development of this part of the
country; he has been very active in
promoting drainage, and has been a
great help to George Welsh, state
commissioner of immigration, in the
matter of inducing settlers to locate
in the state. In fact, Mr.. Schmahl
has done much to assist in peopling
the broad acres of northern Mime
sofa with aggressive farmers.
Mr.. Schmahl is hustler" of
the thirty-th1rd degree, and as a
vote-getter is a peer of any man in
the state capitol.
The Pioneer has privately dis
cussed the candidacy of Mr.. Schmahl
with many north-country people
anu the sentiment Is uudullllooo I'LL
Mr.. Schmahl as a republican candi-
date for governor in 1910.
Asked by the Pioneer as to the
candidacy of Mr.. Schmahl for gov
ernor, Representative ]. J. Opsahl
of this city says:
Shall the Minnesota, republicans
continue for six more years to en-
dorse the democratic candidate for
governor?
IF not, the Republican State
Central Committee should get busy
at once to organize the counties

WATERW0RKS
 IN SPRINGDALE Material on the Ground ard the Work of Construction Now
 Under Way.

Sprlngdale is to have water works, the work on same now being under way. Although the plant will not be extensive and will not reach but little more than the business section of the town, 1t IS starter and can be enlarged as the towns finances will permit.
 The plant is being put in by the board appointed few years ago, consisting of Willard Berry, s. N. Haxton and J. F. Deaver. It will be remembered that one assessment on the taxable prop erty of the town was levied and collected, but complications arose and the board was never able to carry out it's plans. The money thus collected has been lying idle, and the members of the board, after consulting with some of the business men of the town, decided to put in such plant as the money thus collected would pay for.
 The tank will be located in the park east of the Auditorium and will have capacity of 5000 gallons. A contract has been made with the electric light peo- pie to pump the water into the tank, and the pump will be con- nected so as to pump directly into the main in case of fire Three thousand feet of four inch pipe has been purchased, and Is now on the ground.

FRUIT PROSPECTS BETTER
 THAN WAS REPORTED

Some exceptions have been taken to the statement of The News relative to fruit prospects Ill this locality, some claiming that the prospects for apples are good. The trees are now bloom ing out and most of them are fairly loaded with blooms. Some varieties, as is always the case, are shy of blooms. Jack Phillips, who owns one of the largest peach orchards in this section, tells The News that he has much better prospects for a crop this season than last year. H e Il as inspe 6 d other orchards and reports about the same condition. The berry crop will not be so large as last year. On account of the dry weather the new plants have not put forth as many runners as they should have done.

THE LIGHTS
 TURNED ON Electric Lights We're Shining in Springdale Wednesday Night
 for the First Time.

April 1, 1908. Remember the date, sonny, for 1t was on the night of this day when the first electric light shone in Spring dale.
 Some weeks ago NJ. C. and C. C. Martin promised that they would have electric lights i'll Springdale by the first of April, and they have made good. Sev- eral lights were on at the plant Wednesday night, and those who saw them pronounce them first class in every respect. It was a strong, white, steady light, and if the people of the town are fur nished such lights there will be no cause for complaint.
 The work of wiring the busi- ness houses IS going steadily for ward, and as soon as this Is eom- pleted work will begin on the residences. The business section of the town will probably have lights next week.

He was brought up and had his trial Monday i'll Squire Berry's court and was fined $50 in four cases, amount ing to S200. Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Homer Pearson con- ducted the case on behalf of the state. Constable ". l.. Stokes took Parish to Fayetteville Mon- day. and he will be placed on the county cham gang. NIT. Stokes informs The News that there are some others who have been in- terested in this whiskey traffic and that he has about enough evidence in hand to convict them as soon as he can lay hands on them.

TIE IN RACE FOR TREASURER Watson Withdraws and Race to be Run Again Two Years
 Hence.

The News expected to print the official returns by townships of the primary election held last week, but cannot do so until next issue. The official count made a few changes in the vote as given last week, but did not change the result in any but the treasurers race. It was found that Parks and Watson had tied for this place, each receiving S56 votes. A committee was selected by these gentlemen to recount the ballots of the various townships to see If any error had been made, but before the count had proceed ed far compromise was effected and the gentlemen signed and issued the following agreement:
 To whom 1t may concern: The vote for the undersigned for Treasurer of Washington County having been a tie, each receiving $50 votes, 1t has been agreed be- tween us that A. C. Watson shall withdraw from further contest and agrees that the name of w. D. Parks shall be certified by the chairman and secretary of the democratic committee as the nom- 1nee for county treasurer. 1t IS further understood and agreed that this race shall be run over by us two years from now, If we both live. and that W. D. Parks will not claim then that he IS running for second term, and that both shall be on equal foot ing Ill that respect. This IS a mutual and friendly understand ing and Is done to avoid second race at this time, which neither of us is physically or financially able to make.

 Of course this plant IS not what any of us would like to see but 1t will be much better than none at all, and will be a great protection to the business section of town.
 With her electric lights and waterworks, Springdale is up and coming. Let the good work go on.

KILLED 0N
 HIS ENGINE. Engineer D. B. Rathf0ne Meets Death Near Cement,
 Oklahoma.

D. B. Rathfon, an engineer or the Frisco, whose family resides in Springdale, and who calls this his home, was killed Saturday morning in wreck near Cement, Oklahoma. Mir. Rathfone's run was from Oklahoma City to Ouannah. The wreck was caus- ed by hange on one of the wheels of a flat car heavily load ed with rock, breaking off. The car was being pushed in front of the engine, and 1t IS said the train was going at the rate of about fifteen miles an hour. The accident came without warning, and the engine and finder were smashed to pieces. In the cab with Mir. Rathfone when the crash came were the conductor and two brakemen, besides the fireman. The conductor was al- so instantly killed and the other three gentlemen more or less in- jured.
 Mir. Rathfones body was taken to Oklahoma City, embalmed and prepared for burial. The first news here of the accident was a telegram to Mrs. Rathfone, and her son Roy and C. B. Limbaugh left on the train Saturday night for Oklahoma City. They arrlv- ed home Tuesday morning with the body, and accompanying them we're four members Of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En- gineers, of which deceased was a member. The remains were =in- tered in Bluff Cemetery Tuesday afternoon under tile auspices of the l. 0. 0. F.
 Mir. Rathfone was about forty years of age, and had been a To- comotive engineer for twenty years. For fourteen years he was employed on the Cotton Belt out of Pine Bluff, this state, and later on ran out of St. Louis on the (. P. X St. L. He had been in the employ of the Frisco for only few months. About four years ago Mir. Rathfone came to Springdale and purchased a fruit farm just at the north edge of town, and his family, composed of his wife and two sons and one daughter, have made their home here since. Mr. Rathfone was not very well known in Spring dale, as he spent but little of his time here, but those who knew him speak of him highly.
 Mrs. Rathfone and her child Ten have many friends here, all ot whom sympathize deeply with them in their sudden affliction.
