signally to put these properties on a
paying basis, but Mr.. Hartman, fol-
lowing the reorganization of the I'm
ion Pacific in 1897, began a systematic
plan to place the properties in the
best possible condition for their main
tenance at high standard of eff
cheney. It was his policy to keep his
railroads in the best workable condi-
ton, confident that sooner or later the
question of dividends would take care

taken Mr.. Hartman gave unf1agging
industry and it was his constant work
that brought on the final breakdown
In his health. Stomach trouble devel-
oped more than year ago and med
ical treatment gave no relief. This
summer he went to Europe to consult
the greatest specialists there, but he
was not benefited. On his return to
this country he went at once to his
magnificent country home at Arden,
where death occurred.

man securities in the days when their
master lay i'll at Arden they merely
advertised that they had been afraid
Of the man and showed what they

There are many popular misconcep-
lions concerning Hartman. One is
that he was a man with an abnor-
mally large brain, which Slapped the
life from his understood body. Harri-
mans head was not large. It was un-
der rather than over the normal size.
It was quite well proportioned to his
small stature. His body gave the i'm
preston Of slightness, it is true, but it
was not emaciated, except in his last
illness. 1t was wiry and quick as a
steel spring. He was stopped, as are
most men who think much. He was
never a careful dresser and was quite
commonplace in appearance. But the
idea that his brain ate up his body is
mere flight of fancy. 1t might be
said as truly Of any man who is at the
head Of big things in this day Of gil
gantic undertakings.

Another mistaken notion is that Mr.
Hartman was born in New Jersey

land, in the state Of New York, Feb
Is, 1S48. He was the fourth child OF
4 poor Episcopalian minister whose
salary sometimes amounted to as
much as 5000 a year. It was after

the family moved to Jersey, settling

SPEAKERS OF REPUTE TO
SPEAK AT COUNTY FAIR
Tuesday, September 18th Is Farm
ers' Day. at the Beltrami County
Annual Fair. -

September 16 (the second day
of the fair) has been designated as
"Farmers' Day." and an especially
attractive program has been
arranged for that day.
Ransom A. Moore, professor Of
agronomy in the University of Wis
consin, has been engaged to speak
on that day. Mr.. Moore is an &C.
cepted authority on agronomy and
he is so recognized by agricultural
authorities all over the country. Mr..
Moore was given special mention by
J. J. Hill in the famous address
which the railroad magnate de-
livered before the Minnesota legis-
lature last winter, at which time Mr..
Hill called particular attention to
the development of the agricultural
sources of the northwest. Mr..
Moore's speech will TEEN with valu-
able information on agronomy.
Professor A. J. Mcclure of Grand
Rapids, superintendent of the North
east Experimental farm, has also
been engaged to speak. No man in
the state of Minnesota is better
qualified to tell the farmers what are
the proper methods to pursue in
profitable dairying and farming in
northern Minnesota. Mr.. Mcclure
has achieved phenomenal success at
the experimental farm and he has
given valuable assistance in develop
ing this section of the state.
Prof. Thomas A. Cooper, professor
agricultural at the University of
Minnesota, and A. D. Wilson, super
intendent of Minnesota Farmers
Institutes, have been engaged to be
present on Farmers Day." and will
deliver speeches on farming, enrich
ing soil, animal husbandry, etc:
While these two gentlemen are,
personally, very little known in this
section, they are thoroughly con-
versant with farm conditions here
abouts and will have something good
to give fair attendants.
All of these speakers will welcome
questioning on farm pursuits, and
have readily consented to come to
Bemidji and assist in making the
fair of '09 big success.

ago before Justice F. L. Patton of
Wilton, and the lumber company was
found guilty and fined SIS and costs.
At the trial it was alleged that the
lumber company had failed to
properly patrol It's logging road from
Wilton to Fowlds and by reason of
such failure several bad fires
resulted, which originated from
sparks from the engine hauling the
logging train on this road.
The order was made returnable
the first day of district court, which
will be held in this city Tuesday.

BIG GAME PLENTIFUL in
UPPER RED LAKE COUNTRY
Carlos Avery Executive Agent State Game and Fish Com.
mission, Visited Spots Where Caribou ROAM
Indian Not Naturally Game Hog.

That there are many caribou, as
we'll as moose, ranging in the coun-
try north and northeast of Red
Rake is a fact which has been proven
by actual observations during the
past six months.
While it is not generally known
throughout the state that there are
many caribou in the low lands north
of Upper Red lake, still the settlers
adjacent to the lake have known for
some time that large herds of carl.
bous have roamed from the Rainy
river, south to Red lake.
Recently, Carlos Avery of St.
Paul, executive agent for the Game
& Fish commission, made personal
visit to both Upper and Lower Red
lakes and traversed the Deer river
al the north shore to the big bog
north of the lake.
We ran across thousands of
caribou tracks, and in many places
there were paths beaten into the
earth, showing that hundreds of the
animals had been passing to and fro;
and the marks were all fresh.
am satisfied that these animals will
remain there for long time, or at
least until that country is drained,
as it is a natural feeding ground
for them.
There is large quantity of what
is known as reindeer moss which
is the one food they like.
Mr.. Avery was accompanied by
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1909-09-10

Albert Smith. an old trapper and
hunter, and was givenIevery oppor-
tunity to note game conditions in
that section.
When he returned to Bemidji, Mr..
Avery said concerning his observa-
tions at Red lake:
There are large numbers of
caribou as we'll as moose inhabit-
ing the woods and the bog north
of Red lake, a fact which I am fully
convinced from what I saw up there.
1T is to be hoped that the Indians
and north-country settlers will CO.
operate with the Game and Fish
commission in preserving these herds
of caribou, as there are not many of
these animals left in the United
States"
While Mr.. Avery was at Red Lake
Indian agency, he was assured by
w. H. Bishop, superintendent in
charge of the agency, that the
Indian was not game hog" in
the sense that the State Game and
Fish commission had been lead to
believe.
Mr.. Bishop stated that the Indians
rarely killed many deer or moose
unless they used the same for food;
that they did not make a practice of
selling venison and moose meat, and
it would be no trouble to induce the
Indians to be one of the best observ-
ers of the game laws in the State of
Minnesota.

CLASSIFYING LANDS ON
RED LAKE RESERVATION
Pat Kennedy and His Corps Of Men
Have About Completed Their
Lab0rs.

The work of examining and CLASH
flying the timber and agricultural
lands on the diminished Red Lake
Indian reservation has been CON-
pleted, and soon the department at
Washington will have reliable
estimates on which they can base
the allotting of lands to those of the
Red Lake tribe who have made
application for allotment.
This estimation and classification
of the land on the Red Lake reser-
walton was necessitated by applica-
ton for allottments which began a
year ago and were made by members
of the Red Lake band under the
provision of the Stevenson law.
A suggestion has been made, and
will probably eventually be followed,
showing that these allotments would
divide into two parts, each contain
ing equal tracts of timber and agri-
culture land, and it is for the purpose
of definitely determining just which
is agriculture and which are timber
lands that the present estimating
corps have performed this work
during the past summer.
Pat Kennedy has been in charge
of this work and he has had three
cruisers and three compass men in
his employ. There are some $780,
900 acres of land which have been
examined. The examination began
on July 1.
At last winters session of congress
an appropriation of 100000 was
made, to be used in the preservation
of timber of all the Indians in the
United States; and the paying for
the work of estimating and classify
ing the land of Red Lake reserva-
ton will be made from this sum of
100000.

GOVERNOR LISTENED TO
ARGUMENTS IN CHARGE
Arguments Were Made Yesterday, and
Governor Took the Matter Un-
der Amusement.

Gov. Johnson sat in Judgment"
as it were, at the state capitol, yes
terday, when he heard the arguments
of Lynden A. Smith, as attorney for
the state, in the charges preferred
against County Auditor Wilmann,
Commissioners Sibley, Wright and
Danaher, E. E. Mcdonald appear
ing for Mr.. Wilmann, and P. J.
Russell representing sibley and
Wright.
The hearing was commenced at
10 o'clock in the forenoon and was
not concluded until 2 p. m.
Mr.. Mcdonald stated that he had
withdrawn from the case. of A. w.
Danaher, but he desired that that
fact should not in the least be pre-
judicial to the guilt or innocence of
Mr.. Danaher, in so far as he had
appeared. He argued the charges
preferred against Mr.. Wilmann at
considerable length.
Mr.. Russell argued the defense of
Messrs. Sibley and Wright, making
his points as brief and concise as
possible.
Assistant Attorney General Smith
appeared on behalf of the state and
stated the charges and what he con-
sidered were the main points con-
nected Herewith.
Governor Johnson took the cases
under advisenent, and will probably
not render decision for week or
ten days. The governor has the
power to remove any or all of the
officials mentioned.

OBITUARY OF THE LATE

Special Arrangement With American

" HERE have been few single fig
ures in the world of finance the
mere rumors Of whose illness
would radically affect so many
stocks as did that Of the late Edward
Henry Hartman. On his recent re-
turn from Europe the great Stock Ex-
change in Wall street spent nearly
one whole day in suspense. Buying
and selling were at a standstill. Ev-
erything depended upon the health Of
the little man coming up the bay. If
he should prove to be on the road to
recovery, up would go Union Pacific,
Central Pacific, New York Central and
other securities under his control. If
he was seen to be in bad way, they
would tumble. Until one or the other
was definitely known there was moth
ing doing.
His arrival satisfied the brokers that
the railroad king was far from a well
man. After his retreat to Arden the
rumor was noised about that he in
tended virtually to retire. On this
mere breath his stocks we're hammered
down, down till Union Pacific fell off
or points, Southern Pacific, New
York Central and others sharing In
the decline. It was striking tribute
to the mans power, testimonial to
the estimate put upon his financial
mastery by Wall street. There was no
sentiment in it. There never is in these
bull and bear raids. They are as ut
terly merciless as an earthquake or a
cyclone. There is not a heart beat in
the whole high finance body, how.
ever many there may be in the indi.
yiduals who compose it. And when

GOVERNMENT SCHOOL At
RED LAKE is NOW OPEN
Young Aboriginees Show Much Interest
in Studies. -lndian Parents Co.
operate With Authorities.

The government school at Red
Lake agency opened last week for
the fall term, under most suspicious
conditions, and everything indicates
that there will be large attendance
and much interest taken in the work
at the school.
: w. H. Bishop, superintendent at
the agency and Distributing officer,
is in charge of the school. There
are two.class teachers, Miss. A. c.
Goddard, principal Teacher, and
Miss Patrick, assistant.
The capacity of the school is SO,
but the enrolment at the school has
always exdeeded the official capacity.
Last year los scholars were en-
rolled in the school and the average
attendance ranged from 80 to IS,
indicating healthy interest among
the Indian children in securing an
education.
Mr.. Bishop, the superintendent
of the school, states that the In
dian parents have taken great in
terest in the efforts of the govern
ment to educate their children and,
although they were at first rather
"ofhsh," towards the school. OF
late years, they cooperate with the
superintendent and the teachers with
the result that the attendance is at
all times very fattering.

school although we'll advanced in

Hartman, the railway magnate, is
dead at his home at Arden, N. Y,
after long illness. Mr.. Harriman's
death had been expected for several
days. On last Sunday he suffered a
serious relapse, due to an attack of
ecute Indigestion, and he was unable
to rally from the critical condition
which then threatened his life. With
him at the time of death we're all the
members Of his immediate family and

The great achievement of Mr.. Harri-

RAILROAD COMMISSION
TO HEAR RED LAKE CASE
NJ, R. 1. M. Claims It was Unable to
Place Automatic CoupIers on
Its Trains.

St. Paul Pioneer Press: A busy
month is ahead of the state railroad
commissioners. Hearings on CON-
plants of almost every kind, such as
depot facilities, dangerous crossings,
platforms and everything else except
class and commodity rates, will be
held almost every day. One of the
commissioners in looking at the cal
endar remarked that the work ahead
almost made him wish they were
back holding hearings on the rate
cases.
Next Monday hearing will be
held on the application of the
Minneapolis, Red Lake & Mani
toba for an extension of the time
when it must begin obeying the
automatic coupler law. This law,
passed by the last legislature,
requires the equipment of all trains
with automatic couplers, but this
road insists that it was unable to
comply with the law The law
became effective July 81.
The next day the commission
will have a hearing at Grand
Rapids on the complaint of the
Itasca Lumber company that rates
on ties and other forest products
are too high.
