In our domestic affairs, In whatever

belongs the extremely valuable faculty
OF eliminating the non essential from

as one invariably actuated By that
Democratic spirit which should char

Cold Storage Enthusiasm.
II would have been thought that

threatened for a while that there
would have been some unloosenlng OF

Mrs. H. w. Baily, president of the

place at the organ.
The open meeting was more than
of ordinary interest.
H. w. Baily, commander of the

a response was made by Mr.. Fender
CAST, followed by remarks by T. H.
Pendergast and several other men,

To the People,

In Saturdays Pioneer appeared an
article covering the schedule played
by the Big Bemidg Basket Ball team,
and in this article it inferred that
the management of the rink had
handicapped the boys by charging
them exorbant prices for the use of
the hall to practice in.
Now the management of the rink
wishes the people to know the truth
of the matter, in order that they may
not set us down as hold-ups,
The fact is the highest price ever
charged for a practice of basket
ball at the rink was $1.75 and this
was all that was charged for the use
of the hall, fifty electric lights,
steam heat and a mans time getting
ready for them and cleaning up
after they were gone.

APPOINTMENT OF ANTON
ERICKSON IS CONFIRMED
The Congressional Record SubstantI.
ates the Statement Published in
Pioneer Last Thursday.

On Thursday last the Pioneer
printed an article stating that the
name of A. R. Erickson of this city
had been ratified by the U. S.
senate on the day previous and
that the name had been Sc mt to
the senate the previous Saturday.
How we obtained the information
is of no consequence to the general
public, but that it was authentic
is proved by the Congressional
Record of Wednesday, March 18th,
which contains official notice of the
truth of the statement made by the
Pioneer. X
On page 1868 of the Record, un-
der heading Combinations Execu-
tive nominations confirmed by the
Senate March II, 1905" for Mime
sofa, there appears the following.
Anton R. Erickson to be post
master at Bemidji, Beltrami county,
Minn."
For some unknown reason, the
confirmation was not given out to
the Washington correspondents of
the twin cities dailies,so that no news
of the confirmation was not printed
in any northwestern paper. The
Pioneer was the very first news
paper to publish the fact of the con-
frmation.
