SUGAR TRUST SAFE
(By United Press)

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 15.-
Declaring senate about to do "one
more favor for sugar trust" Sena-
tor Bristow of Kansas attacked the
Philippine paragraph in the tariff
bill. He said the paragraph would
give the trust 300 tons raw sugar
at a price lower than the one now
prevailing, but would be refined
and sold at the same price obtained
from higher priced raw sugar. The
discussion of the sugar question
arose when Senator Aldrich call
ed up the paragraph providing free
trade between Philippines and the
states.

Auditor Butler tells of an anus
ing incident that happened in the
application of the new marriage
license law. An elderly gentleman,
accompanied by his intended one,
presented himself before the audi
tor and asked for a marriage blank
application. The couple took the
blank with puzzled expression on
their faces and went out into the
hall to discuss the matter, when it
suddenly struck the auditor that
the woman, who looked to be over
the age of As, would not have to
submit to the ordeal of an exam
ination and he hurried out after
the couple.
Madam" said the auditor in his
usual polite way, eff you are"
and he hesitated little, well know
ing the sensitiveness of the gentle
sex as to age, madam, if you are
As you-you will not have to sub

Here he was met with a wither-
ing look, as that particular female
admitted to be just several months
on this side of As, and an examina-
ton in that case was required.
At North Yakima Samuel Te-
namsha of Toppenish and his BRIDE
elect, Emma Silatsee of Fort Sim
coe, full blooded Indians, presented
themselves for a license. They
were the first applicants under the
new law, and both passed the medi-
cal examination with clean bill
of health.

PROSPECTS BRIGHT FOR
SECURING THE 500 HERE
Subscriptions to the Right-ofWay Fund Have Been Lib
eral, but More Money Must Be Forthcoming. Mer-
rill, Wis.,, Paper Compliments Bemidi

The 500" railroad is building an
airline through the northern part
of Minnesota. The proposed air
line leaves Bemidji several miles oft
in the cold. The business men of
that hustline town would not have
it that way. They stormed the
offices of the 800" railroad company
and finally got a promise that
if Bemidji would raise 100000
to buy the rieht-of-way through the
town, the 800" company would de-
fleet it's line and build it's line as
wanted by the people. Now the
business men of Bemidji are raising
the money. Bemidji is a city of
1000, but leaving out the small
children the balance are all hustlers.
Bemidji would have the 500" if it
took 100000.
A little of that spirit here and we

Blind Lecturer COMING.

At the meeting of the local K. P.
lodge last evening, the final ar
engagements were made for the ap-
pearence here, on next Tuesday
evening, at the Masonic hall, of F.
S. Atwood, the famous blind
optomist, lecturer and orator, who
will deliver his famous lecture on
Happiness"
The following committee was ap-
pointed to take charge of Mr..
Atwood and arrange finally for the
lecture:
DR.. E. H. Smith, Charles DAILY
and A. G. Rutledge.
w. R. Hodges, editor of Sleepy
Eye Herald and president of the
Minnesota Safe Editorial association,
says of Mr.. Atwood.
To be happy is the desire and
ambition of every person. How to
look on the bright side of life in
the midst of disappointments Incl.
dent to human life is a virtue not
possessed by all. The lecture of F.
S. Atwood on Happiness touches
the heart and mind of everyone
who hears him. It is full of good
cheer and coming from a man whose
physical eyes are forever shut to the
light of day, it cannot fail to be help.
full to us on our journey through life.
I have known Mr.. Atwood since
September, 1904, as faithful
preacher of the gospel, as lecturer,
as citizen and friend. He is a
man of high intellectual attainments;
a speaker and orator of power, and a
gentleman of high character. His
lecture on Happiness should be
heard in every town and hamlet in
| the state"

PROPOSITION FOR COUNTY
BRIDGE is A WRONG ONE
County Board Should Reconsider Action Of Last Meeting
and Combine With City in Building Bridge Across
the Mississippi River.

the county at large should post
themselves on this proposition and
appear before the board at the meet
ing next Tuesday and ask for a
more complete discussion of the
facts in connection with the build
ing of a new steel bridge over the
Mississippi river east of Lake Be-
midi.
1t appears to the Pioneer as
though the county should join with
the city in building a good steel
structure which will answer the
same purpose as the one contemp-
lated by the county board five miles
east of this city.
1t is said, on good authority, that
a new bridge must be built very soon
by the city, as the old wooden bridge,
which now stands at the outlet of

wis., Daily Herald.

The work of securing subscriptions
to the fund with which to purchase
the right-of-way for the 500 railway
to build its line through the City of
Bemidji is progressing quite salts
factorily, but there is still large
sum which must be raised in order
to secure the road.
While most of the business men
have subscribed very literally to-
wards this fund, there are still
number of people in Bemidji who,
by right of the benefits that will
accrue to them in the building of
the 500, should come in" with
subscriptions of substantial pro-
portions.
The members of the commercial
club who form the soliciting CON-
mittee, have been doing everything
in their power to obtain subscrip-
tons to the 500 fund, but they are
of the opinion that citizens should
be as willing to hunt them up and
put down their names as their CON-
mittee is anxious to hunt up sub.
scriptions.
Any one who desires to subscribe
to the 500 fund and doesn't happen
to run across any of the members
of this committee should visit either
of the local banks and leave his or
her mite" to aid in securing the
great independent railway for this
city.
That people living adjacent to Be-
midi are anxious to see the road
enter the city is indicated by those
who are encouraging the movement.
AS an instance of this fact may be
cited the act of Messrs. Trondson
and Whiting of Blackjack who, this
morning, phoned to Mr.. Wedge to
put their names on the subscription
list for $50, saying that they had
some Interests here and believed the
entrance of the 500 would be
great benefit to Bemidji.
But a few days remain in which
to make up the amount required by
the 500 officials and those who
think they can subscribe should do
so at once.
A revised list of the subscriptions
raised to date will be published in
the Pioneer tomorrow or Friday.
Is your name written there"
and did you give as much as you
really ought to?

At the meeting of the board of
county commissioners, to be held next
Tuesday,bi will be received for the
construction of a steel bridge across
the Mississippi river, at the corner
of sections E and I, township 146,
range 81. and corner of sections 81
and 80, township 147, range 81, the
location being about five miles east
of the outlet of Lake Bemidji.
These bids will be submitted in
accordance with resolution adopted
at the last meeting of the board
Gust prior to the removal from
office of Commissioners Sibley,
Wright and Danaher) when it was
decided to call for bids for the con-
structior of the bridge, it being
claimed by Commissioner Wright
that the bridge was desired by
certain residents of the Town of
FROM, whom the construction of
the bridge would please.
When it had become generally
known that the commissioners
desired to span the Mississippi with
a bridge outside the city limits,
where it can be no better use than
the bridge constructed near the out
let of the Mississippi, and within
the city limits, there. has been much
objection to the proposition; and a
prominent resident of Bemidji says:
The site for the new county
bridge across the Mississippi river,
between sections 5 and 6.146-32,
being 2A miles down the river from
the M. & I. Railway bridge, near the
outlet, as recommended by the CON-
missioners, is placing a decidedly
unnecessary burden upon the tax
payers of the county and city.
1T is learned, on good authority,
that the site proposed by the COM
missioners will necessitate a bridge
at least 800 feet in length, on piers
rs feet high, which would cost in
the neighborhood of $4,000 to con.
struct it of steel and concrete.
This site is one mile outside OF
the city limits; and the cost of the
bridge would have to be paid by
the county.
At a point on the quarter-sectior
line, in section 2, which is abou
one-fourth of a mile down the rive
from the M. & I. bridge, there is =:
site within the city limits, where :
steel bridge could be built, $50 fee
long, and on 14-foot piers, to spa,
the river, at a possible cost o
$500.
AS the city of Bemidji must, il
any case, maintain bridge acros
the river at or near the site of tn
present old wooden bridge, near tn
outlet, to accommodate the peopl
around the lake shore, and for
future lake shore drive, there is n
reason why joint city-county bridg
could not be built inside the cit
limits, so that the cost would onl
be about S1,750 to the county an
the same cost to the city, and pract
cally all the travelling public woul
be we'll served.
The additional road constructio
by the county to get to the new sit
in the city limits would not amour
to over $1,000, so that the count
would still be saving at least S.

Climbed Water Tower

Dear Aunt Laurie:
During our residence in st Louis.
Mo, we often went TO spend the after
noon at Compton Hill park, which was
not far from our home.
One afternoon when we went to the
park we climbed the Compton Hill wa
ter tower, which is located in the park.
This tower is about two hundred feet
high and about twenty feet square.
Tc reach the summit it was necessary
to climb about two hundred steps of a
circular stairway. At the top was a
little square open room, from which
we could look out over the city.
Looking west we could see the con-
struction of the worlds fair buildings,
which were then being erected. Then
turning about and facing cast, we could
look out over the quiet water in the
reservoir, which took up most of the
park space.
Thus it was that any person who nae
the patience to climb the-toWer would
be well rewarded with a fine panoramic
view of the large city.
| could tell you of many other inter-
esting things l have seen in st. Louis
beautiful parks. Your loving niece,

FINDS INTERESTING
POINTS IN LAFAYETTE
(Honorable Mention)


Dear Aunt Laurie:
OF THE different parks l have Vls-
tied here. and elsewhere L think
" the prettiest and most interesting
one of the smaller parks Is Lafayette
park, st. Louis, Mo.
This park is several blocks square
and is inclosed with strong IRON renee;
Inside this fence are long sweeps Oh
beautiful green lawn, and pretty wilma
ing graveled walks. All through the
park are secluded hooks ana eozy cor
ners with pretty rustic seats
ON a slight rise of ground near the
middle of the park there Is large
statue of Lafayette. Just across from
this statue is a large lake, where peo-
pie go out boating on the hot summer
evenings, and enjoy skating on ITS sur
face in winter.
A partition divides the lake into. two
narts. The smaller part is devoted 20
ducks and swans In this division or
the lake'is a small island. Its grassy
banks and green trees make cool re
treat for the swans when they Wfsh 10
go on land. on one end of the little
island is a house where the black and
white swans and ducks are bred.
In the farthest end of the park is a
picturesque cave. Very near IL Is a
little spring of water bubbling out
from among the rocks, and flowing into
a small pond just opposite the mouth or
the cave. The pond is almost covered
with water lilies. over the pond is
pretty rustic hEidge from which anyone
who does not wish to descend the slip
perry moss s-covered rocks leading to the
cave can look into its cool recesses.
Besides all the beauties. natural and
artificial, of this park, there is also
something there of historic value. This
consists of three guns mounted on large
gun stands which are placed on green
knoll near Lafayette's statue.
These guns were recovered from the
British man n-of-war Acteon. which sank
in an attack on Sullivan's island, South
Carolina, on June 2S, 1875, and they are
in a somewhat battered condition.

stopped and was soon laughing with

funny.
Then as we were standing there a

us boys get away. The policeman
