HOSPITAL IMPROVEMENTS.

An entire new heating plant will
be installed in St. Anthony's hos.
pital in this city, the work of putting
in the plant being started yesterday
under the supervision of Jerrard &
Covington.
Tie boiler room in the hospital is
being enlarged and two new boilers
will be installed in the room for use
in the new hot-water plant which
will be used, the management of the
hospital having decided to put in an
entire new heating system. It is ex-
pected that the new plant will be in
running order by Septembere IS.
There are at present twenty-five
patients who are being CHARTERED in
the hospital. Among these there

are three who have fever, the balance
for the most part, being confined to
the hospital with personal injuries.
During the past summer, a large
number of operations have been per.
formed at the hospital, and they
have been uniformly successful,
wherever there was the remotest
possible chance of success.
According to the sisters in charge
of the hospital, the majority of the
patients who submit to an operation
are afflicted with appendicitis and
local physicians have had wonderful
success in performing operations fol
this disease.
The installing of the new heating
plant will add greatly to the CONVEX.

THE SMALL-GAME SEASON
OPENS ON NEXT TUESDAY
No License Needed to Hunt In Ones Own County, but in
Order to Avoid Possible Complications Hunters
Should Procure License.

one time is fifty aquatic fowl; forty
five other game birds.
Every nonresident hunter is
required to secure a nonresident
license before shooting game of any
chacacter within the state of Mime
sofa. The fee for small-game license
is $40 and that for large game is SIS.
Only one license can be issued to
one person and it is not transferable.
It is also the duty of every hunter to
exhibit his license to any person, on
request.
There does not appear to be many
ducks in the immediate vicinity of
Bemidji, although hunters report a
good supply on the Mississippi river,
between Bemidji and Wolf lake, and
on the rice beds from there on to
Cass Lake.
In former years, but few prairie
chickens have made their appear
ance near Bemidji, although there
were a few coveys last year, near
the city, there being one near the
Blakeslee farm that was the pride of
every resident of the vicinity. How
ever, there are quite few conveys
at the present time. Most of the
hunters who hunt prairie chickens
near Bemidji 60 to Solway, Shevlin
and Bagley. >
Several local hunters intend going
to Hallock and other parts of the
Red River Valley to hunt chickens
and ducks, and no doubt there
will be a great scramble at the
county auditors office for licenses
within the next few days.
The State Game & Fish Commits
sion will make an especial effort to
protect chickens and prevent
"sooners'' from killing birds before
the season opens next Tuesday.

unable to join her husband until
later in the trip at some point
along the G.. N. in North Dakota.
- According to his. own accounts,
Mr.. Krohn was ESQ miles ahead of
his schedule when he reached Be-
midi yesterday afternoon. He met
old friends here whom he used to
know when he was printer working
, in newspaper office at Glencoe,
MINI.
He states that the employees of
the Great Northern know of his trip
and often throw him papers and
fruit from the train as they pass.
Colonial Jack" will arrive in
Crookston on Tuesday and in the
evening will deliver a lecture at
the Crookston Auditorium. -
The man who is making this
unique trip states that his course
will be west to Seattle from Bemidji,
going along. the G. N. line, and will
20 south from Seattle to Los Angeles.
He will then cross the southern
states to Jacksonville and go up
the Atlantic coast to Portland, Me-,
his original starting point. "
He is limited to 400 days in max
ing his trip, around the border from
Portland and return and the date
for the completion of the trip is Sep.
TENDER 9, 1909.
Mr.. Krohn is confident that he
will easily make the trip and win
the wager, which he has made.
Colonial Jack" is a newspaper
man and theatrical manager by pro-
fession and the strange adventure he
is now undertaking is merely recre-
alton from labor. He claims to be
enjoying the trip; has lost twelve
pounds in weight since he started on
June l, and has worn out five pairs
of shoes.
He is something of humorist and
suggests bestowing upon Governor
johnson the degree of L. L. D.
( long, lean democrat").

It is amusing to note that state
ment made by Mr.. Opsahl, in the
last issue of the Clearwater Crystal,
in which he says: y.
Our district has shared literally
in the state road funds, and the last
session made direct appropriation
of 100000 for roads and bridges,
of which Beltrami gets $4,850,
Clearwater $4,000, Red Lake $3.50
\ or $1,000 for my
part of the district, while my pro-
rata share if divided among 119
members would have been $780,"
The Pioneer humbly rises to ask
what became of the other $685., 800

fowl, turtle dove, snipe, prairie
chicken, pinnated, white-breasted or

= The law relative to licensing
hunters provides that no license is
necessary for a hunter to shoot small
game in the county in which he
resides, but if he desires to hunt out
OF his own county he must procure a
license, costing 81, from the county
auditor. The license permits a
hunter to shoot all kinds of game, in
season, and confers shipping privel-
eyes.

used for protection and propagation

It is we'll, however, for every per-
son who hunts either large or small
game to secure a license from the
auditor before going into the field,
AS licenses are now issued they are

81, so that hunters who get licenses

oPSlHL BEGINS MAKING :.
MUD-SL|NG|NG CAMPAIGN
=
Gets Control of Sentinel. Spreads
SeIt.Praise, and Throws Out Dirty
lnsinuations.

The Pioneer regrets that there is
mud-slinging resorted to in the legis-
lative fight. Mr.. Opsahl, is the last
issue of his paper, the Sentinel, takes
occasion to insinuate that Mr..
Funkley, his opponent, is dishonest,
a rascal and coward, and in every
way unfit to represent this district
in the legislature.
The people of northern Minnesota
have had abundant opportunity to
know what Henry Funkley is, and
on the strength of the. knowledge
they have of him, they will at the
primaries emphatically refute those
insinuations. .@.-
Was not Henry Funkley elected
county attorney less than two years
ago, when the country was running
rife with unpublished criminals?
The lives of men and women were of
such an uncertain quantity that
people coming into the country in
some instances actually took their
collins with them-and little wonder
when it is remembered that the
flesh and blood of the beautiful
Dahl girl was left to fertilize the
soil, after she and her father were
slain, for few paltry dollars?
Was it not Henry Funkley, who
three years after the commission of
this dastardly crime, within a month
after he qualified for county attorney
had Paul Fourier and James Wesley
securely in the tolls of the law?
And are not those culprits now
serving life sentences that for three
years after the commission of the
crime went unpublished until Mr..
Funkley took hold of the case?
Is not Mr.. Funkley the only
county attorney in Minnesota that
has the record for trying and con-
victing four murder cases in the
first degree" cases in one year
thus efectually stamping out law
Ilessness and crime so that there is
practically nothing more doing in
that line in this county? Not so in
other neighboring counties.
Where is there anything in the
record Of Mr.. Funkley that points
to dishonesty, rascality and coward
ice?

Such was the purpose of the

of Beltrami County, nearly hun

with hardly a mile of road in it fit
for an automobile, which the other
parts of the state abundantly sport,
getting only $4,850 out of direct"

reference to Clearwater and Red
Lake counties.
It is we'll that elections come

"C0L0NIAL JACK VISITS
BEMIDJI ON LONG TRAMP
His Visit Here Occasoned Considerable interests
Walking Around the Border Of the United States and
Pushing Wheelbarrow Called Sphinx

With the distinction of walking 4:
miles in one day, pushing a pecul
iarly-constructed wheelbarrow, THE
Sphinx, ahead of him, J. A. Krohn
known as Colonial Jack" arrived in
Bemidji at S o'clock Friday after
noon and rested in this city over
night. On Saturday morning resum.
ing his journey westward for his
trip around the border of the United
States.
Colonial Jack" is following the
border of the United States from
Portland, Me-, and return, a dis.
lance of 5000 miles, on a wager of
1000 books, which he has yet to
write, against $1,000. He is not
only walking the entire distance,
which, to win his wager he must
cover in 400 days; but is pushing
his wheelbarrow, covered with post
cards land suvenirs of the journey.
The arrival here of Colonial
jack created something of a sem
sation as his advent had been
heralded several days.
Mr.. Krohn left Deer River Thurs
day morning at I o'clock and walk
ed to Cass Lake a distance of 43
miles, before he stopped for the
night, this being the first time since
he struck Minnesota that he has
covered forty miles in single day.
His performance in covering the 43
miles was all the more remarkable
as he was i'll the entire distance of
his trip, but he pluckily continued
"hoofing" it, arriving at Cass Lake
at 10 o'clock Thursday evening.
He took it easy" Friday, walking
from Cass Lake to Bemidji. Mr..
Krohn left Bemidji at 7 o'clock this
morning and expects to arrive in
Bagley in the evening. 1t was his
intention to have passed Sunday at
that place with his wife, but Mrs.
Krohn was seized with illness at
Cloquet and is confined to the
hospital at that place. She will be

To Be Buried at. :Hibbinq.

Kalispel, Mont, Aug. 29:-(Spec-
ial to Bemidji Pioneer. )-"George
passed away at Ito Friday a. m.
did not suffer at all;s never expected
that he was about to 60; entertained
hopes right along. Shipping body
tonight; will arrive in Bemidji Sun
dav night or Monday noon. Funeral
at Bemidji. Joe Markham"
The above telegram was received
by the Pioneer this afternoon, and
indicates that Joe Markham, who is
at Kalispel with the body of his
brother, has not yet learned of the
arrangements for holding the funeral
at Hibbing.
1t has been definitely decided
that the body of George Markham,
who died at Kalispel, Mont, Fri
day morning, will be buried at Hib-
bling, instead of Bemidji as was at
first intended.
Walter Markham, cousin of the
deceased, received a telegram this
morning from Pauline Markham, a
sister of George Markham, in which
Miss Markham says:
Mother cannot travel. It must
be here, arrangements all made, and
it is better, so wire quick"
Walter Markham will probably
leave for Hibbing tonight and will
most likely be accompanied by his
mother, Mrs. J. M. Markham.
Just when the body will be
brought to Hibbing is not known,
as no word has been received from
Kalispel since yesterday.
George Markham was member
of the Hibbing lodge of Elks and it
is more than likely that that order
will have charge of all the funeral
arrangements and intermeut. S..
1t is probable that delegation
of Bemidji Elks will go to Hibbing
to attend the funeral. r.. $50

Big Men Aplenty.

A mass of fiub must inevitably be
published in the course of the campaign
now fairly opened. But it viii be less
in volume than has been published in
earlier quadrennial contests and the
party that IS on the job will use least
of all. Wherefore it ought to be plain
that Republican editors are not mira
cles of astuteness when they underrate
editorially the material at Mr. Bryan's
hand should the country give him op-
portunity to make a cabinet.
"How do Lentz, of Ohio; the recent
Senator Pettigrew, Tom johnson, the
S-cent-fare man, and the Cowboy
Mayor of OMAHA compare" asks one
organ, with Elihu Root, Charles J.
BOnaparte, James R. Garfield, and
George Won L. Meyer?" The answer,
of course, is easy. All the Democrats
have to do is to ask in return:
"How do Tom Platt, Billy Lorimer,
Boss Cox, and James P. McNicol, of
Philadelphia, compare with Richard
Olney, Judson Harmon, George Gray,
and Alton B. Parker?"
Let's be fair. Let's fight the cam
paign on the level and choose between
the things and men the two parties
actually represent. We shall find that
there are big men aplenty in Mr..
Bryan's party as well as in Judge
Taft's.
Here, for example, are some of the
names the Peerless must consider for
his Cabinet;
For Secretary of State-Richard Oh
ney, of Massachusetts, and Judson Har
mon, of Ohio.
For Secretary of the Treasury E.
