THE fact that the sentiments ex-
pressed were those of Mr.. Cleveland

with other friends. He often wrote for
pay while he was president of the ad-
vlsory board OF the Equitable Life As
surance society, and it was in his office
that I met him and talked about the

Collapse of Wheat Corner Caused Re-
Vival of Confidence.

New York, April 24.-The favorable
progress of events overbore the
doubts induced by the fear of a weak
ened technical position in the stock
market, and shaped the movement of
prices upwards after a wavering ten

lapse of the wheat corner improved
conditions, the growing demand for
street products, increased buying of
refined copper and the good showings
of railroad earnings served in COM

rates grew firmer with the withdraw

day evening play its first regular
game of the season against an out
side basketball organization, when
the local five will line up against the
Cass Lake team, at the Armory in
this city.
The big Bemidg" team as now
organized is picked from the best
players of the Fire Department and
Co. K. 6ves, and this will be the
first try-out for the big" boys.
They have been playing together for
several evenings and should be in
fair condition for Saturday nights

The Cass Lake team is an un-
known quantity, having never
played here. Yesterday, the mana

asked permission to play two of the
members of the fast Deer River team
with the Cass Lake five, which was
assented to-, so that it is pretty
certain that the visiting team will
be strong one.
Prior to the game with the Cass
Lake five, the big Bemidg" players
will take on the Bemidji High School
for game; and it is expected that
the school boys will give the regulars
a hard game, as the kids" are
desirious of making good showing
against their older opponents.

Splendid Testimonial.

Naish McKinnon of this city has
received work from Denver, Colo.

condition of his brother, William
McKinnon, prominent employe OF
the U. S. forest service, who was
recently stricken blind as the result
of some strange affection which
baf1ed many physicians, but which
has now been diagnosed as cancer
on the brain. with other complica.
tions.
Dan McKinnon, another brother
of William McKinnon, has gone to
Denver, accompanied by his wife,
and word has been sent to Bemidji
that it is the intention to bring
William back to Cass Lake, where
his parents and brother Dan reside;
and that they expect to arrive here
with William, about next Tuesday.
The word received from Dan
McKinnon has been very cheering
and is to the effect that the wonder
full constitution and optomism of the
sick man has been such that he is
literally mastering the disease which
has at times before this last crisis
caused him much trouble.

u. S. forest service and his popu-

MY Dear Mac:-On behalf of
the men who have known you best
and who have been most closely
associated with you in your work
here in the Forest Service, I want to
tell you of the intense feeling of
sorrow which comes to us all when

I want you to know that no man in
the Service, to my knowledge, has
been more respected, has done more
valuable and conscientious work, or
has been better liked by the men
who worked with him, than yourself.
1t is because the Forest Service

crowd out too late; and. the Cass
Lake. Big Bemidg" game will be
called on Immediately following the
preliminary contest.
The new big Bemidg" team will
line up tomorrow evening, and as it
will probably play the season through
will be as follows: H. Cell and
Dick, forwards; Brown, (captain)
center; Heffron and Gill guards.
This team bas three members of
the old champion big Bemidg"
team, in Brown, Cell and Hebron.
Cell and Brown are playing in their
old positions, but Hebron has been
switched from his former position
as forward and sub center to guard,
in which position it is believed he
will prove to be star.
The most important games
scheduled for the season are those
which will be played with Billings,
Montana, team, January 17-18. The
Billings team claims the champion
ship of the west, and is said to be
very fast quint. The Billings team
has as captain and forward Joe
Markham, who was the star of the
Big Bemidg" team when the locals
were cleaning up" everything in
the north half of the state, two
years ago. Will Collins, another ex-
Bemidji player, is also a member of
the, Billings team. The locals will
do their best to win from the fast

We have watched this section grow
from a timbered wilderness into q

the development of the silk worm,
the worm is said to become silk,

Along this line, the following,
taken from the ST.. Paul Pioneer
Press, will be of much interest to
readers of the Pioneer:
1T is a little early to report signs
of spring, but it is a fact that the
first butterfly is out. It is a real
1910 creation, intended for next
summer, but for some reason known
only to itself, it came out a little
early.
Mrs. C.. L. Sheire is the possessor
of the creature, and possibly the
act that the chrysalis was kept in a
warm, sunny room may have had
some effect in causing it to lose track
of the date. When the family was
camping at Island Lake, near Be-
midi, last August, little Leni Sheire
picked up green worm as big as
her thumb, with two horns, under a
birch tree. 1t was put upon piece
of birch bark, in which it Immediate
ly proceeded to wrap up for the
winter, lining it with a silk cocoon.
when the Sheires returned to
to town, the birch bark cylinder
came along, and was duly ensconced
on shelf and forgotten. Yester-
day morning there was hole in the
cocoon, and a beautiful green moth
was sitting on the roll of bark. It
refused to speak for publication, but
most of its family history was
sleuthed out from it's Bertillion
measurements.
1t is beautiful pale green, and
three or four inches long. The front
edges of the wings are trimmed with
bronze, and the back wings end in
two long green tails, which project

Determined Effort to FIJI Places
Of Striking Switchmen

st. Paul, Dec. 31.-Twenty-fve non
union switchmen from points south
and east were brought into st. Paul
and assigned to duty in Twin City
terminal yards. It is reported that
fifty more are on their way. Presi-
dent Frank T. Hawley of the Switch.
mems union said that he personally
knew Of the twenty-five arriving. A
dispatch from Chicago says that the
Northwestern railroads are going to
work Systematically to relieve mex
perienced strikebreakers and new men
by the employment of as many switch
men as they can find throughout the
country.
This all follows the automatic with.
drawal of the proposition made by the
railroads through Governor Eberhart
to employ old men as they were need
ed and abide by the decision of the
Chicago conference as to terms. This
proposition ceased to exist after noon
Wednesday, the switchmen as a body
failing to take advantage of it and the
proposition itself being coupled to a
clause making it an ultimatum.
Meantime, there is an indication in
Chicago, so union men say there, that
the conferences in that city will not
accomplish anything and among strike
officials the belief is growing, as ex-
pressed by Chairman H. B. Perham of
the railway department, American
Federation of Labor, that the Ameri-
