Price Loyal to Grand RAPIDS.

Frank F. Price, county attorney
OF ltasca county, accompanied by
Mrs. Price, was a visitor in the city
yesterday. Mr.. Price was here for
the purpose of arguing several mo-
tons before Judge Stanton, with
relation to some Itasca county
matters. Frank is one of the most
popular Of Itasca county's limbs of
the law" and he has many friends
in big Bemidg" who are always
glad to extend to him the genial
hand.
Mr.. Price is intensely loyal to his
home town of Grand Rapids, and he
never loses an opportunity to extol
the greatness Of that community.
He is enthusiastic over the future
prospects of Grand Rapids and
believes that the Itasca county seat
will eventually lead all of the range
towns because of the rapid develop
ment of the iron ore industry around
the town.
Mr.. Price states that Brother
Kiley, presiding elder" of the Grand
Rapids Herald-Review, is wallowing
in prosperity and is giving to the
people of the Rapids" the very
best newspaper the place ever had.
Bemidji people are pleased to know,
from Mr.. Price, that Grand Rapids
IS thriving, and the Pioneer congrat-
ulates Brother Kiley on his getting
into the plutocracy.

The little Clermont, shown in the
background, was able in its original
form to attain speed of five miles

first journey of Importance ever
performed through the power of a

best developed farms in the state,
in northern Clearwater and the
northeastern part of Polk counties.
The farmers residing in this terri
tory have always patronized Fosston
as their market and shipping point
and all wagon roads in that section
lead to Fosston.
The building of the 500 will be a
great boon to these farmers. It
will not be necessary for them to
make the long, tiresome journeys by
wagon to Fosston; they can come to
Bemidji, transact their business and
return the same day. This will
mean (providing the necessary
money is raised to secure the right
of-way and the 500 is built through
Bemidji) a great augmenting of Be-
midii's commercial Importance, and
all lines of trade will flourish.
In addition to this desirable far
mer trade, the 500 will have an
immense traffic in hauling wheat.
The road taps many of the best
grain fields in North Dakota; and
the 500 will haul its wheat over the
Plummer- Moose Lakeline through Be-
midi to Duluth. In fact, the 500 line
through this city will be. crowded
with both freight and passenger
traffic.
The building of the 500 through
Bemidji would be the most important
factor in the development of this city
of any proposition which has been
placed before our people; and every
citizen who has the real welfare of
Bemjdji at heart should not bubble,
but should stretch point to give as
much as he possibly can in buying
the right-of-way which the company
absolutely requires before it will
run its line through our city.

The 500 is coming into Bemid il
anyway; we don't need to subscribe
a cent for the purchase of right-of-
way"
The Pioneer representative has
heard the above remark made by
a few well-meanlng but misguided
residents of this city who are not
posted as to what the 500 intends
to do, and what that road is in the
habit of doing with relation to
building its air lines SO that it
can successfully complete with any
rival IN the matter of bidding on
mail contracts, hauling government
supplies and handling local freight
and passenger traffic.
Above is reproduced an article
taken from the Little Falls Trans
cript, wherein is stated the habit"
of the 500. The 500 passed up
Little Falls and Royalton, and the
result was brought about mainly
through the same kind of talk that
is being INDUCED in by few citizens
of Bemidji at the present time, who
really believe that the 500 thinks so
much of Bemidji that it will build
here anyway.

OPENING FOOTBALL TO

Bem'dji High School Eleven Will Con-

The opening game of the footba l.

For guards there will be Charles
Gerlinger, a new player here, and
Will Russell, who will be playing

Some Years ago. Fargo and Grand
Forks offered the 500 some valuab bic
concessions, together with a sub
stantial bonus to build their line
into those cities The 500 did not
construct into either Fargo or Grand
Forks-to have done so would have
necessitated a curvature in their line
and they did not deviate.
When the 500 was running it's
survey from Greenwood to Thief
River Falls, the citizens of Crook
ston made overtures to the officials
of the railway and tried to secure
the road; but, as everyone knows,
the railway magnates had a deaf
ear"-Crookston was also passed
up"
And now, judging from the re-
marks being made BY few local
people who do not know of 500 in
dependence, Bemidii is in line for a
pass up" unless this kind of talk is
stopped and subscriptions are forth
coming for the purchase of the nee
essary right-of-way.
The 500 did not approach any
one in Bemldij, stating that the
company wanted to build it's line
through this city. On the con-
trary, it has been only by the most
strenuous kind of argument, per

influences in touch with the 500

made, and then only when the
company made the fat statement
that it would follow its usual
custom of not DEPRESSING from an
air line, unless it was put to no
trouble or expense in the matter
of right of.way into and out of

that was practicable and in accord
ance with its rule of not building

This is the proposition, given as

"Bemidji must furnish the

the north of Bemidji.'

Don't dodge the committee when

Since there is possibility of Undue

the Plummer-Moose Lake branch of
its Winnipeg Chicago line through
the City of Bemidji, great benefits
that will accrue to this city from the
construction of the road are becom-

The building of the 500 will, in
large measure, assist in furnishing
prosperity to this section, after the
timber has been cut and manufact-
ured and the lumber industry has
waned.
The construction of the line from
Plummer to Bemldji will give to the
farmers of western Beltrami county,
