APPRAISERS OF STATE
LAND COMPLETED WORK
/. H. Beagle, NeIs 0tterstad and Alex.
ander Cameron Have Worked
Faithfully and Efficiently.

]. H. Beagle of Duluth, .Nels
Otterstad of Turtle River and Alex.
Cameron of this city, who, as state
appraisers, have appraised the land
owned by the state of Minnesota
which will be sold at the public
auction in this city in July, have
completed their work and the final
report of their appraisment will be
taken to St. Paul tonight by Mr..
Beagle.
Nels Otterstad came down from
Turtle River this morning, where he,
yesterday, finished the last of the
lands in that vicinity completing
his labors in section eighteen, Town
of Port Hope.
Messrs. Beagle and Cameron
spent today in sec. 31-148-34, where
they finished appraising the state
land in that section, having com
pleted all that will be appraised
at this time.
The work of the appraisers was
undoubtedly performed in a very
able manner as}all three men are
competent judges of the value of
northern Minnesota lands.
Already hundreds of inquiries
have been received by the secretary
of the Bemidji Commercial Club
requesting information concerning
state lands which will be sold in
this city in July, all of which indi-
Gates that there will be a healthy
demand for the excellent Beltrami
county lands to be disposed of by
State Auditor Iverson.

much out Of the ordinary for their
money; better than you can see any
where else for double the money.
Kippy, the famous German COM
edy cartoonist, and Shaw & Clifton,
singing and dancing comedians,
made their initial appearance at the
Brinkman last evening, and they
made aahit with the audience.
The assurance given in yester-
days Pioneer that the show this
week was a good one was
productive of the desired result
and the theatre was crowded
at all three of the performances
given in the evening; in fact, several
were turned away, and Manager
Brinkman has today received many
applications for reserved seat tickets.
Mr.. Brinkman would like to accom-
modate those desiring reserved seats,
but he cannot do so with justice to
all, so he has refused to issue reserves;
first come, first served.
A feature of the program that
should not be missed is The Hoos-
Ter fighter" film that has made a
hit with Bemidji people. The plot
of the picture is very realistic, show
ing how the parents of the fighter
are about to be driven from their
home by grasping money-lender,
because they cannot pay off the
mortgage. The fighter determines
to pay of the mortgage and after
making personal, unsuccessful APP
peal to the money-lender, his at
tention is attracted by placard
announcing that Spider Kelley
will give $4,000 to anyone standing
before him four rounds.
The Hoosier decides to make the
attempt to stay the allotted time,
and goes into the ring with the
Spider" Then follows realistic
four-round glove contest, in which
the Hoosier knocks out til e
Spider" and wins the coveted
$4,000, finally paying off the mort
gage, and all is again happiness.
The contest as reproduced by the
film, is very .strenao us affair,
there not being loafng moment.
However, there is nothing objection
able to the affair, and its realism
made a hit last evening. It must
be seen to be appreciated.

Ditch Work Commenced.

The preliminary work for digging
the bitches ink oochichingcounty and
making the roads thatgo there with
is being done, and soon the actual
making of the bitches will be COM
menced.
The method of installing the
machinery is rather novel to one
who has not seen them in operation.
A large barge is used, and dams
are built behind the barges, in order
that the water will not interfere
with the digging.
One of the bitches is three miles
south of Big Falls, and the other
is three miles north of Littlefork.
The installing of the machines
and all preliminary work is about to
begin.

George II. Spear as their attorney.
On these points the court COM
missioner gave decision in favor
of the REALTORS, and they were at
once released by Sheriff Hoolihan.
County Attorney Thwing stated that
he would not undertake to appeal
from the action of the court commits
sioner.
Since the body of Holman was
disinterred last week it is under
stood that there have been no new
developments, though the prosecu-
ton still holds one suspect at the
county jail.
