twenty years, however, it has been the

THE PIONEER PRINTERY
ABOUT OURSELVES.

This newspaper and printing and
stationery plant has been established for
the past thirteen years-from the time
when Bemidji was hamlet. During it's
six years of existence as a daily publica-
ton and thirteen years as weekly, it
has exploited every real advantage, both
natural and creative, that Bemidji and Bel
trami county has to offer and for which they
are noted.
During it's tenure of service The
Pioneer has been loyal, patriotic, clean,
neatly printed and public spirited. At
no time has it condescended to stultify it's
neither can it be accused of the sins of
commission or commission. The legion
friends of the Pioneer concede that The
Pioneer is the most influential and the
best-gOtten-up newspaper in North Central
Minnesota, and that the matter contained
in it's columns daily tend to benefit. the
locality. They confess that The Pioneer
has served as a potent factor in bringing
prospective home-seekers to Bemidji and
Beltrami county; that it has built up
men who were deserving and relegated
those who were not worthy of public
esteem. Withal, The Pioneer has been
loyal public servant, doing yeOman serv-
ice whenever called upon, and rejecting
news in manner which has won for it
widespread notice.
The Pioneer Printery employs from 20
to rs persons, constantly, seven of whom
support families, and the balance are all
home people who are firm believers in
patronizing home Industries and home in
situations.
During the past year, The Pioneer paid
out in salaries for labor alone over
$4,000, all of which sum went to sup
port these patrons of home Industries and
home institutions.
The Pioneer is exceedingly loyal to it's
home city and to the merchants of Be-
midi. The Daily and Weekly Pioneer
are much sought after by foreign adver-
Users, many of whom produce articles
and goods which come in direct contest
with local concerns. Such class of adver-
Users are firmly refused space in The
Pioneer, although we have frequently
been offered as high as SO cents per inch
for advertisements.
The Pioneer carries the largest stock
of stationery, supplies of all kinds, print
ers' stock, etc., of any similar concern in
northern Minnesota, and is always pre-
pared to furnish all classes of stock to
it's patrons.
The Pioneer Printery is unexcelled in
latest in the line of presses, and are
type faces, with the result that our print
prices are right Satisfaction goes with
every order for printing which is done at
the Bemidji Pioneer Printery.

forest service was used in forest in
vestigation costing $685., S55.14, and
in diffusion of forest information and
federal cooperation.
The forest service is one of the
branches of the government where
everything is not outgo. Last year
the receipts from sales of timber,
grazing fees, and permits for special
uses of forest resources amounted to
an increase of $271,-
222.43 over the 1907 figures. The
per acre receipts from the national
forests were little more than one
cents, less than five mills under the
per acre cost of administration and
protection of the forests.
The amounts paid the states and
territories, to be expended for roads
and public schools from the years
receipts, amounted to 447,063.79
Chiefly because of increasing the rev
enue to the states from 10 per cent
in 1907 to 25 per cent last year
there was a total increase of 1924,
O31.62 in the amounts payable to the
states.
In addition, the national forest!
yielded heavily to the public in fret
use. There we're 30,714 permits
granted for the free use of timber b!
settlers, schools and churches, during
the year, against 1899 in 1907
The number of board feet used il
this way by the public amounted t.
131,582,0O0, valued at $16S,720
compared to 63,00O,O00 feet, valued
at $4,000 in 1907.

BASKETBALL
GAME SATURDAY NIGHT
To BE FAST one

The manager of the Tonopah
Basketball club yesterday received
word from Goldfield that the game
between the local club and the Blue
Diamonds of the southern city,
which takes place Saturday night at
the Nevada theater, should be far
better than the last game played
here. The Blue Diamonds have
strengthened their team and are
practicing daily. The Tonopah Bas-
ketball club is also doing little
practicing, and they will leave moth
ing undone as they desire to keep the
championship in this city.
A team from the Ladies' Audi
tori club of Goldfield will play the
girls of the TOnopah club. This
game should also be interesting as
the Tonopah girls are playing fast
ball and have a number of coaches
who are rapidly perfecting the weak
spots. The admittance to both games
has been placed at SO cents.

pENsIoNING DISABLED MINERS.

Il
A bill was introduced at the pres
ent session of the Indiana legislature,
by James Epperson, state
mine inspector, providing for a pen
sion fund for the benefit of disabled
miners, to be maintained jointly by
the miners and operators, and to
which the state shall be the trustee.
The purpose of the fund to be so
created, is to provide relief for the
wives and dependents of men who
are killed or permanently injured in
and about mines of the state; also
relief for aged mine employees. The
plan is to assess. tax of stated
number of mills for each ton of coal
produced, this tax to be paid by the
operators, and a small percentage tax
on wages earned by the employees.
The money, according to the plan,
will be, paid nto the state treasury
and distributed to those entitled to a
benefit in sums proportionate to the
extent of injury. The law will pro-
vide that in each case the benefits
will be paid without question as to
contributary negligence of the EN-.
ploye injured or killed.

MAY PUT THE
ELKS' MINSTREL
ON The bum /?

Help! Helpl Listen to this. An
thony Comstock is coming from New
York to put the Elks' minstrels on
the bum. He has heard that the
members of that organization were
going to give ballet dance and that
the costumes they would wear
would be somewhat abbreviated. In
fact that the dancers would appear
in tights-real tights, mind you; and
then Tony was shocked and even now
he may be enroute to this city.
Curses! Let him come! Haven't we
got just as good men here as he is?
There is Ed Malley for instance.
Say, if anybody wants to stop that
beauty chorus from doing their little
stunt, just let them apply to Ed. We
would sign him against Sylvest, the
peanut boy.
There is also another cause for
alarm in the camp of the Elks. They
have been rehearsing morning, noon
and night and last evening at the re-
hearsal Puddy Grimes showed signs
of over training. He formerly
weighed 210 pounds and last night
at the Hannah baths he just tipped
the waiter a quarter-excuse me, for
l mean he just tipped the scales q
trifle under 249. His friends are be-
ginning to get worried over his con.

FOREST SERVICE
REPORT IS full
OF INTEREST

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-Listing
receipts and expenditures and ex-.
planning them in plain English much
as a railroad president reports to his
board of directors, Clifford Pinchot,
forester, has just made retrospect
of the work of the United States for
est service for the fiscal year 1908. !
For the administration and pro-
lection of 1872 national forests in
seventeen states and territories and
Alaska, the government spent ST.
526,09S.02, or about one and one
half cents at acre. Permanent i'm
provements, including the construc-
tion of 3400 miles of trails, 100
miles of wagon roads, 3299 miles of
telephone lines, $50 cabins and
barns, 600 miles of pasture and drift
fences, ESQ bridges, and forty miles
of fire lines cost $592,169.19. Tele-
phone wire to build approximately
400 miles of additional lines was
shipped to the forester, but with the
funds available before the close of
the year the work of construction
could not be completed. Some of this
work was done on each of the for
ests in the United States.
Although many needed improve.
ments could not be undertaken, the
benefits of what has been accomplish.
ed are seen in the more convenient
and economical manner in which the
forest officers are enabled to carry
on their work and in the opening III

 When the university Scient1hc expedition was made up it was de- cided to unite professional work with pleasure. Some of the professors took their wives, some their daughters, and among the bachelors and young ladies were one or two incipient love affairs. For instance. Miss Nellie Marchand, whose father occupied the chair of the French language and literature had been attracted to young Professor Stewart. curator of the university mu- scum. Professor Stewart was so in tent upon stones, bones and bugs that he had no eye for the charms of the young lady, who, by the bye, was very pretty
 Having reached a far western spot rich in geological and other specimens, the party settled for the summer in camp, making fOrays in parties, in couples or individually. When they left the east the Indians on a not far distant reservation were as peaceful as a litter of kittens Before the univer sity party had been in camp q fort night the red men had broken their linn it's and were ready to tomahawk any white man, woman or child they met One morning a. cowboy rode into the camp and announced the fact to the startled intellectuals. What added to the terror occasioned by the news was that there were several small groups at the time out looking for specimens
 Among those who were out and did not come in was the curator. Miss Nellie Marchand took note of this fact before any one else. Although she was in agony at his danger, she said nothing, but started out in the direc- ton she had seen the professor go an hour before to warn him. She walked mile, regardless of her own danger, in her effort to warn the man she loved, when, coming to rise in the ground, she saw a sight that para lyzed her. Barely 200 yards from her was Professor Stewart cracking stone with a hammer, and not a hundred yards from the professor were dozen Indians on ponies dashing toward him with blood in their eyes.
 The first thing Miss Marchand did was to faint. This was blind luck. for,

 Meanwhile the red men swooped down on the professor, who on hear ing a chatter looked up to behold im- mediate redhot death. However, since he was one white man against their dozen they were not in hurry. Tor ture or murder might wait. What they were first absorbed in was their cap tive's possessions. They knew enough of civilization to appreciate the value of his watch. hammer, loose change and penknife. They plunged their hands in his other pockets and took out stones. Every receptacle was filled with them-stones, stones, nothing but stones But fin his inside vest pocket were some decayed bones. The Indians looked at one another in won der.
 A tiny box lay near. Suddenly mo- ticing 1t, they made a rush for it. Here at last must be something they could exchange for fire water, for pow der lead. blankets. Opening it, their wonder was tenfold. It was full of bugs
 Suddenly an explanation came to the leader. He tapped his forehead with his finger. The others saw his mean ing and assented. The professor was an imbecile.
 One of the redeeming features of the North American Indian has always been kindness for the feebeminded. Any injury to such persons they con- slider sure to be visited upon them. They closed the bug box and handed it to their captive. They picked up the stones they had scattered about and placed them again in the profess or's pockets. They restored his watch and other useful articles Then, their march for definite purpose having been interrupted, they mounted their ponies and rode hurriedly away. Pro lessor Stewart turned his face straight toward the camp and began to triangu- late in that direction.
 Miss Marchand recovered conscious ness. crawled forward and, looking over the crest, saw the Indians rifling what she supposed to be the curator's dead body She tainted again. When the professor came that way with his stones and bones and his box of bugs he saw sight that astonlshed him the body of Miss Marchand. Perhaps it was an exuberance of feeling at his escape; perhaps 1t was the girls con- ditien. At any rate. it struck him that there was something in her dearer than stones. bones and bugs.

 Now. 1t happened that after Miss Marchand started out to warn Profess or Stewart not only she, but the pro- lessor, was missed. Every one in camp started out in a different direc- tion to hunt for them.

 'I should think SO" said Mrs. Mar chand severely.
 This recalled the professor to him self. and while the four were hurrying ,o camp he explained what had occa- stoned his apparently idiotic remark.
 Professor Stewart says it was Miss Marchand's brave act in going to look for him that settled matters between them ANNA BENTLEY.
