The Caroline is 2O5 feet high and is
25O feet Ions. 1t is almost a perfect
arch, although not so pleasing to the
eye as the Edwin.
The natural bridges are the result OF
the action of the waters o. the Great
White Canyon river. that in ages gone

hour, second by second. the barrier
which held them in check. The pound

complete and the waters were given
the freedom which they had. for count
less years, impatiently sought.
The country where the natural bridges
are situated is wild in the extreme.
Great precipitOus cliffs rise on either
side of the. canyons. forbidding heights
everywhere meet the eye. Many spots
are impossible of access and may never
be reached except on the day when the
aerial machine is brought to a degree
of perfection further than now it is adj

The country is practically without
water and the explorer who would ac-
quaint himself with these evidences of
the giant forces of nature must be

work, extremely hard, work. There are
no trails to speak of. and those which
there are lead nowhere in particular.
Last summer a party of scientists,
headed by Professor Byron Cummings
of the University of Utah and Profess
sor Edgar L. Hewett of the depart
ment of the interior, explored the re-
gion. They left Thompson's Springs,
on the Rio Grande. on June IA, went
thirty-five miles by stage to Moab and
there took horses and crossed sixty
five miles of desert to Monticello. The
nearest point of supply to the cliff
dwellings is Bluff, fifty-five miles to
the south of Monticello and seventy
five miles west of Mancos, in Colorado,
the nearest railroad point.
Valuable data was gathered and sur
veys and maps were made. Official
measurements were taken and notes of
inestimable value were made. The party
was absent about six weeks.

By proclamation of the president Utah
now has a national park. The presi-
dent has set aside as a national mon
ument the natural bridges in San Juan
county, one of which, at least, is the
largest freak of nature of its kind in
the world. There are three of these
bridges, situated, with reference to one
another, as the points of a triangle are
related. Surrounding each of these
bridges the president has set apart
forty acres as a government reserve.
and, included in his proclamation, there
is a warning to all persons that these
monuments are sacred and must not
suffer trespass nor injury.
The prettiest and most symmetrical
of the natural arches is the Edwin.

At the meeting of the city coun.
Gil, held last evening, bids were
opened for the construction of a
new 10O,OOO-gallon watertank, to be
used in connection with the Bemidji
city waterworks system, the bids
being as follows:
w. S. Lowell of Minneapolis,
S6,927; Chicago Bridge & Iron
company, $3.50; DesMoines Bridge
& Iron company, $3.50; Mime
apolis Steel & Machinery company,
$3.50.
AS the Des Moines company had
taken exceptions to some of the
specifications for the tank, the bid
of the Chicago Bridge & Iron COM
pany, which was the next lowest,
was accepted by the council, and
that company was awarded the con-
tract, upon signing the necessary
papers.
This new tank will be erected
within three months, on a site to be
sele cted by the city council.
The report of the board of tax
levy was filed and given its first

TAFT HAS STRENUOUS DAY
Makes Dozen Speeches in Minnesota
and North Dakota.

Makes Dozen Speeches in Minnesota
and North Dakota.
Fargo, N. D., Sept. 29.-With his
voice once more resonant and all
suggestion of hoarseness gone Judge
Taft made the first speech of the day
at st. Cloud, MIMI, in which state the
greater part of the day was spent.
North Dakota, where there has been
Republican trouble over the senator
ship, was reached early in the even
ing. At Fargo there was big rally
and barbecue, the feast consisting of
lambs. Excursion trains were run to
Fargo from a distance of $50 miles
and fourteen bands we're in the line
of the big parade.
At st. Cloud Mr.. Taft spoke on the
labor question, saying with tinge of
sarcasm that he believed few crumbs
from the Gompers table would fall to
him. as he did not believe that Com.
pers could deliver, as he had said he
should, the entire labor vote of the
country. The record of the two par:
ties was then reviewed briefly and the
conclusion drawn that the Republican
and not the Democratic party had
been the party of real action in behalf
of the laboring man.
The Taft special plunged into real
cold weather as it rushed northward
and snow was falling lightly when Mr.
Taft was making a speech at Alexan
dria, MINI. At Alexandria the candi
date paid his respects to Mr.. Bryan.

George Kirk appeared before the

for the laying of two blocke of sewer
pipe on Dewey avenue, where there
is no water service. Mr.. Kirk was
assured that there would be water

BOYS GET fine PLAYER
Will Have Services of 'Dick"O' ConneII.
Crack Player, Formerly Of st.

The members o., the big Bemidg"
basketball team are literally patting
themselves on the back over the
acquisition of new player whose
services they have secured for the
season of 10000, in the person of
Dick" O'Connell of Lime Creek,

O'Connell, who is considered one
of the very best basketball players
in the state, has been corresponding
with Lee Heffron, manager for the
Big Bemidg" team, for a month
past, relative to coming to this city
and playing with the local five this
winter.
The Lime Creek man was anxious
to come to Bemidji, as he had heard
of the proves of the team which
won the championship of northern
Minnesota last winter. A position
has been secured for him, with a
local finn, and he will play center
with the Big Bemidg" five.
O'Connell, who is 6 feet, two
inches tall, was center of the ia st
St. Thomas college five last season.
which organization was very fast
and of which O'Conneil was the
blight, particular star, being classed
by twin city experts as the peer of
any college center in the state. He
is very fast, has splendid head,
and is an all-around athlete. He
has played center on some. other
very fast teams in the northwest.
and is but % years of age.
With the acquisition of O'Connell,
and all of last seasons PLAYERS to
select from, the big Bemidpo

like the real champions of at least
the north half of the state, and DOS.

SAID DEMOCRATS WILL
TRY TO UNSEAT 'REPUBS.'
Story to Effect that National Democrat
tic Committee Will Test ''IneIig-
ible" Legislators.

Before the recent primaries, the
Pioneer gave space to the question
which has been raised as to the eligi-
bility of members of the last legis-
lature to serve if they were reelected,
prior to one year after their present
terms expired. For doing this, we
we're accused by odd Allen" J. J.
Opsahl and Brown, the :carpet-
bagger," with being nearly every
thing short of murderer.
Apparently, the Pioneer is not the
only newspaper published in the
state which has misgiving as to
the ruling placed on this question
by Attorney General Young, who
decided that the members in
question would be eligable.
1t now appears that there is a
grave doubt as to eligibility, and
that the democrats think the chance
so good that they intend to contest
the courts, where, if successful in
maintaining in the supreme court
that reelected members are inelig-
able to serve, they will attempt to
seat democratic members of the
legislature who are candidates at the
general election for legislative
honors, but who will be defeated by
republicans, members of last legis-
lature.
The Minneapolis Journal, in a
recent issue, contained the follow
ing:
"A story that the national demo-
cratic committee intends to unseat
every reelected republican legislator
in Minnesota this year, threw a
scare into the republican camp to-
day.
The state democratic committee,
according to the story, has ascer'
tanned through nationally famous
attorneys, hired by the national
democratic committee, that legis.
lators who voted to increase their
own salaries last year cannot serve
this year.
In spite of the attorney general:
ruling that these men can serve, .
said prominent republican, laying
bare the alleged plot. today, the
national committee intends to take
the fight into the courts"
This will not be done until aftel
election, however. When the re
elected republican legislators TAXI
their seats the court action will
begin.
If the courts hold that the Min
