DORIAN BROS.

While we are mentioning many of the
live business houses of Bemidji which
go to make up the city's greatness, it
is imperative that we enumerate the wide
Doran Bros, who are equipped and quail
fed to perform any work in the line of
plumbing, steam and hot water heating,
and repair work of every description.
Doran Bros. are popular with the trade
as experts in their line, and the class
of fixtures and connections, globes, lamps
and general requisites they handle are
always up-to-date and embody what is
needed. The charges imposed for serv-
character, while the character of work
done is par excellent in every respect.
Doran Bros, it should be remembered,
are especially entitled to the vast trade
they claim for the good reason that they
have always done their share toward
elevating Bemidji. At all times their
purse and individual services have been
al lalong been among those who per-
ceived the possibility of a greater Be-
midi, and they are made of the stuff
which goes to make up city of the
first class.
Their work is not confined to Bemidji
and vicinity. They have taken and filled
large plumbing and heating contracts
throughout LnlS pOTLlOu VI MluueSOLd duu
the great demand for their services at
distant points is one of the best indica-
lions of the high class of work which
they are capable of and which they per-
form.
Doran Bros, aside from being recog
nized as expert plumbers and timers, are
also rated among our first business men,
both as to financial standing and general
recognition. AS citizens they are loyal
and enterprising, and these facts, taken
into conjunction witheir business acumen
and worth, lend to them the names of
usefulness and value as beneficial deni-
zens.

CRANE & GOULD.

This firm of young rustlers are truly
indicative Of the energy and progressive
spirit which permeates the town of Be-
midi and which are accountable for the
phenomenal strides the city has made in
relation to both growth and prosperity.
Prior to their advent in business, both
Mr.. Crane and Mr.. Gould were clerking
for regular hire.
Being possessed of universal business
instinct, and perceiving propitious open
ing for the business in which they are
now engaged, they seized time by the
fOrelOck and got busy. That they have
been exceedingly successful can best be
Judged by the magnificent place of bust
ness they maintain. They handle all the
popular brands of cigars and tobacco.
news and stationery, an endless line of
post cards, candies and other sweets.
They specialize, however, on Indian curios

and colors which the savage mind has
been able to conceive, and embodying
every size and priced stuff made of limp

$4,000 and $6,000-all earned by hard
work. persistent effort and popularity
and The Pioneer is indeed inclined to be
generous in rejecting the business Of
Messrs. Crane and Gold. two young citi-
zens who are responsible for much of
the every day business push to be OBJ
served in Bemidji.
Mr. Gould Is we'll known in this vicin-
ity, as he had made his home here for
number of years. Mr.. Crane halls
from Hurley, Wis., He. too, has become
one of us, and taking both these gentle
men together, they go to make up one
of the most popular business firms in
Bemidji.

LUKEN'S STORE.

This business fills an imperative need
in Bemfdii, and is one which has enabled
our people to keep their money at home
by reason of the fact that they carry a
diversified line of wares including crock
cry, French china. domestic and imported
glassware, school supplies, toys, tinware,
and ename1ed ware. novelties, opauues
and antiques, and a dozen and one other
articles too numerous to mention. They
also maintain five and ten cent counter
which contains al 1articles of use and
ornamentatfon usually to be had from
such.
Luken's store was established In 1906.
The firm went into business here because
they realized that this city gives COM
mensurate returns to all who invest their
money in Bemidj and Beltrami county.
The members Of the company are graft
fed over the returns which have come
to them, and they are to be congratulated
upon their decision locate here.
Mr. Floyd Brown serves as manager
of the Luken Store, and by virtue Of
this fact it is foregone conclusion that
he is man of advanced ideas, business
acumen and recognized rating, both in
commercial and financial circles. His
acquaintance is widespread and his name
is a synonym for squareness and enter
prise He believes with all our busy
merchants that Bemfdji IS conner, and
never fails to speak his little piece in
the interests of his home town. Our
thousands Of readers should consider this
firm when the gentleman representing it
can be Of service to them.

chosen field, and that he is sufficiently
trained and adept to complete any contract
with which he may be entrusted.
Mr.. Johnson is always open to estimates,
and he promises to compete with any bid
received, high-grade material and skilled
workmanship considered. He never sub
ordinates skill to cost. He does not pose as
a bidder for third-rate work. and his repu-
tation throughout this section of Mime
sofa conveys an idea as to how highly he is
rated in his craft. He constructed the
Charles Nangle building the Northland
Cold Storage Plant, and of residences he
has built as many as would count to hun
dreds in number, the same costing from
$1,000 to $4,000.

CLAY ON
THE TARIFF

Washington, D. c., May 20.-Severe
ly arraigning the So-called sugar trust
and urging material reduction in the
duty on refined sugar, Mr.. Clay OF
Georgia yesterday afternoon discussed
at great length the various phases of
the beet and cane sugar industries.
He argued that the consumer is discri
minated against in favor OF the Anne
rican Refining Company and that the
sugar grower gets no benefit of the diff
ferential between the duties On raw
and refined sugar. He criticised most
severely the manner in which the SUI
gar schedule of the Payne bill was
framed.
Contending that the American Su-
gar Refining Company owns the prin-
cipal refineries in the United States
and is almost without competition in
refining sugar, Mr.. Clay declared that
the duty on refined sugar almost pro-
hibits the Importation OF foreign ,sl-
gar into tbs country. He said that
the beet grower and the cane grower
of sugar both are compelled to sell
to the sugar trust at the price which
it fixes.
Comparing the wholesale price of
granulated sugar in Hamburg and in
New York which he said was 2.31 cts.
per pound cheaper in Hamburg, Mr..
Clay figured that the American con-
sumner pays difference of $136, ,08O, 900
for it's refined sugar. OF this, he said
the government gets $53,OOO,0O0 in
customs duties, while he said the su-
gar trust gets the other 500 ,000, 900.
The American consumers of sugar
have paid to the American Sugar Re-
fning Company, commonly called the
Sugar Trust, at least fifty+fve mil
lions per year in profit, said Mr. Clay,
amounting in twelve years to $780,
100000. The American people are not
aware of the fact that If the sugar
we import came into this country free
of any duty, both raw and refined, the
cost of sugar to the American con-
sumner would ibe reduced nearly one
half. I am not insisting that both
refined and raw, Or either, should
come to this country free of duty, but
there ought to be substantial reduc-
tion over the rates fixed in the Ding
ley law.
Replying to the argument that sug-
ar is a great revenue producer, Mr..
Clay desired to know why one of the
necessities of life, used by the Ameri-
can people should fbe taken and IT'S
cost increased to the consumer, one
half when, he contended, the amount
of the revenue now produced by sugar
could easily be supplied (by an income
tax.
Let us give to the American peo-
pie cheap sugar." continued Mr.. Clay,
Let us grasp the sugar trust by the
throat and strangle it to death, and
keep in view the interest, the happi-
ness, and welfare of THE plain people

'this trust has constantly violated
both criminal and civil laws of our
country. 1t Is inconscionable and has
continually robbed the American peo-
pile since its organization. Instead
of knocking at tine door of Congress
seeking to increase Its fortunes at the

Mr.. Clay reviewed the establishmen emit
of the so-called sugar trust which was
formed he said in 1887 by the consoh-
dation Of twenty OF the leading refln-
cries. While the actual value of the
property of the trust was not greater
than 10000, 900 according to Mr.. Clay
the sugar trust stocked the company
at $50, 1000 100000. He said that the
concessions in the duty on raw sugar
from the Hawaiian Islands, Porto Ri
CO, Cuba and the Philippine Islands
during the last ten years amounted to
1912 ,22O,773 of which he said, the
Treasury OF the United States or the
American people had received no bene
fit "The most grasping and uncon-
scionable trust to be found anywhere
is the American Sugar Refining Com
pany" add Mr.. Clay, Commonly call
ed the Sugar Trust The steel trust
and the Standard Oil, in point of dis
honesty and INSCRIPTIONS conduct. are
sucking babes in comparison with the
Sugar Trust"
Mr. Clay reviewed the various
cases and claims of the government
pending against the sugar trust. Oh
icials representing the government
who have made an investigation into
| these fraudulent transaction, he con
tinued, '4beheve that the American Su
gar Refining Company has robbed the
Treasury OF more than $4,000, 900 just

orously enforced against 1t. and the
best way to destroy 1t is to give ID

Of America. We must remember that
sugar is an important article Of food
daily consumed by every man, woman
and child in the country"
Saying that the American working
man, during the last few years has
had a hard time to earn living, Mr
Clay deprecated the fact that the duty
on refined sugar remained in the
Payne bill substantially the same as
it is in the Dingley law. He said that
the sugar trust had no representative
before the tariff framing committees
of either the House or the Senate and
added Judging from the treatment
which the sugar trust has received,
this corporation needed no represen-
tative before either committee"
Taking into account the reciprocity
and duty on raw sugar from Cuba,
the reduced duty on Philippine sugar
and the free sugar from the Hawaiian
Islands and Porto Rico under the Ding
ley law, Mr.. Clay declared that the
average tariff duty paid on sugar by
the sugar trust amounts to 1.O4 cents
per pound instead of being 1!6Sk cents
per hundred. He said that the differ
ential of .215 per hundred pounds on
refined sugar should be added to the
average duty Of 1.04 cents per hundred
instead of to 1905 cents as Is done
in the Payne bill
He said the sugar growers of Cuba,
Porto Rico. the Philippines. or the Ha-
waiian Islands or the consumers In the
United States received no benefit from
the concessions made in the duty on
raw sugar from those Islands. Mr..
Clay declared that the price of refin-
ed sugar was not reduced because of
the reductions in the rates on raw su-
gar.
Reiterating that the American Su-
gar Refining Company commonly call

the friends of the school who came

names of all cadets who had made a

he was thoroughly in touch with the
school, from start to finish. His Of
fee as President of the Board of Re.
gents which he held from the first Or
ganization of the board until two years
ago when he moved to Santa Fe, had
given him a thorough knowledge of
his subject, and he was undoubtedly
the man for the place last night.
Passing from. the historical part of
his address, Mr.. Jaffa took UP THE
class itself, seated in the front row
just beneath the roStrum. He advised
them in the affairs of life in a manner
that inspired every hearer. He told
them what success means, and then
pointed out the way as clear as day
how this success can ibe secured by ey-

any step to the right or left of the
right way will detract just that much
from the success they hope to attain.
