The county auditor this morning
received an application for wolf
bounty of $3.50, the application being
made by L. D. Guthrie of the village
of Turtle River. .-<-
=, The board of county commission
ers will meet in special session next
Tuesday. The board will at that
time consider bids for the construc-
ton of two county roads, one being
what is known as the Kelliher-
Battle River road, the other being
between the Towns of Dormant and
Battle. There will also be large
amount of routine business to trans
act, including the consideration of a
big batch of bills against the
county. 49,. +
Hunting licenses had not been in
any great demand, up to noon today.
The last number taken, at noon
was the speculative 10, regarded by
some as a jonah" This was taken
by D. L. Stanton, without a culver,
and he smiled when his attention
was called to it, asserting that
10 was his lucky number. Captain
A. E. Otto made the first applica-
ton for license and his is No. 1.
Judge Stanton has had several
motions, etc., this week, the particu-
lars of which will be given in Mon
days Pioneer.
An estimate of the expense in
cured by the holding the recent
term of court at .Baudette shows
that about $3.50 was expended for
expenses of jurors, etc.; that the
expense of the court officers was
about 800 additional-making a
sum total of about 500. The north
country people were saved large
sum by the holding of the term at
Baudette, the expense in the twenty
two naturalization cases that were
allowed being an instance, each
being saved an expense Of $50 by
not having to come to .sBemidii.
There were fifteen cases disposed Of,
% naturalization papers were issued,
and eleven applications for na,urali-
cation papers we're made that will
be considered at the next term.
Clerk of Court Rhoda this morn
ing issued a marriage license TO
Frank Brooks to marry Cora M.
Borden. Both are residents of

is now honorary president of the
Daiichi Bank of Tokyo. -
Speaking of the significance of the
tour of the Japanese commissioners,
Frederick E. Goodall. president of
the Spokane chamber of commerce,
said.
Important trade results, profit
able to both countries, should come
from this tour. The Pacific country
has not paid the attention it should
have given to the great possibilities
for extended commercial relations
with the orient, nor have the CON-
mercial bodies shown the interest
naturally expected in efforts to pre-
sent statistics of such trade, shipping
facilities needed, how to pack, bill
and ship goods so as to get the best
results, together with comparative
freights, ports used and competitors
of other countries.
On the other hand, Japan has for
years made exhaustive study and
comprehensive compilation Of
statistics to aid the exporters of that
country, and it is safe to say that
this visit will add materially to the
information already gained.
We believe the visit of our dis
tinguished guests from across the
Pacific will awaken throughout the
United States a realization of what
can be accomplished in the upbuild-
ing of our foreign commerce, as we'll
as result in continuing the friendly
relations now obtaining between the
two countries"
The party is making the tour
under the auspices of the Associated
Chambers of Commerce of the Pacific
Coast who some time ago sent repre-
sentatives to Japan and extended an
| invitation for a return visit. The
visitors will be accompanied on the
trip by fifteen trade experts and these
officials of commercial organizations;
J. D. Lowman and E. F. Blaine,
Seattle, F. E. Goodall, Spokane; o.
M. Clark. Portland; William Bunker
San Francisco, and Frank Virgins,
Los Angeles.

Stealing Bemidji Scenery.

The extreme beauty of scenes
about Lake Bemidji has become so
universally recognized that any imi-
tation of our beauty spots or the
stealing" of any of our scenes can
be at once detected. And when the
Laurence Sanatorium of Minneapolis
takes fine scene at Rocky Point,
on the shores of Lake Bemidji, and
labels it beautiful Lake Mime
tonka," it is high time we protested.
This morning a card came through
the mail, on which was printed the
advertisement of the Laurence
Sanatorium. On thereverse side is
the scene at Rocky Point, labeled
Beautiful Lake Minnetonka.
If it is necessary for the DRINKS,
etc., in order to be cured of their
bad habits, that they shall have to
be on the shores of the Beautiful
Lake Minnetonka" described on the
card, then they will be brought to
this famous region, where leather
lungs are made soft and pliable, and
where all desire to put the visible
supply of booze" under ones belt
is done away with through the
health-giving ozone of the pines.

A number of the members of the
squad have already been out tc
practice and interest is becoming
awakened to the Importance of prac
ticing.
Of the new men, most of them are
high school graduates, who were
members of last years fast eleven.
Hallon Huffman was quarter and
captain of last years local high
school team, and he is very fast, he
at one time played with the South
Side High of Minneapolis; Lycan
was fullback for the same eleven, and
was very strong; Claude Breneman
played a fine center for the school
team for three years past; Warren
Gill was the star halfback of the
school team; Babe" Kreatz also
starred with Gill, on the high eleven;
Gill is one of the speediest sprinters
in the north half of the state; Lind
say formerly played in Minneapolis.
1t has not yet been fully decided
as to who will be secured as coach.
A former University of Minnesota
player who made fine record on the
u" eleven is resident of Bemidji,
and an effort will be made to have
the gentleman give the boys a few
pointers" With such heavy and
fast material to select from, a strong
and aggressive eleven can be chosen
from the squad of players.
Manager lullaby is arranging a
schedule of games. to be played this
fall and would be glad to negotiate
with all fast semi-professional elevens
of the northwest, this being es
pecially true of teams in the twin
cities, and Duluth.

COMMISSION
WILL PASS THROUGH CITY
So Says Pioneer Correspondent at SpokaneTheir Visit
to United States Means Much to Commercial
Interests Of This Country

Spokane, WASH, Sept. 2.-(Special
Correspondence of Pioneer. )-Baron
Eiichi Shibusawa, who has just
reached Puget Sound at the head of
the honorary commercial commits
sioners, including bankers, merch.
ants and legislators of Tokyo, Yoko-
hama, Kyoto, Kobe and Nagoya, is
spoken of in the orient as the grand
old man of Japanese finance" and
the hester of business. He is &C.
companied by the Baroness Shibu-
sawa. The party will arrive in Spo-
kane the morning of September II
to remain two days, then continu-
ing it's journey eastward. The tour
will occupy 80 days.
The party will pass through Be-
midi about the goth of September.
Before his retirement from active

Gently, Baron Shibusawa was presi-
dent of ten boards of directors, dir
ector of eight companies, adviser of
seven, chairman of council of one

reign formed the Kawase Kaisha, a

to the conservatism of the time,
neither venture was successful. He

COMPANY K ORGANIZING A
STRONG FOOTBALL TEAM
John Hillary Is Chosen Manager and Ted Getche Cap
tan.-Soldier Boys Will Have Stronger Lineup
Than Last Years Team.

Company K. M. N. c., of Be.
midi will this year have strong
football team in the field to play
against all semi-professional elevens
of the northwest, and already the
claim is made that the present
aggregation of pigskin chasers will
be faster and more formidable than
was the heavy team which the
militia boys had last season.
While one or two members of last
years, eleven will be missing, the new
material which will be available
will undoubtedly more than make
up for the losses; and some of the
new players are faster than those
who will be absent.
The company has chosen First
Lieutenant John lullaby as manager,
and Ted Getchell, fourth duty
sergeant, will act as captain; and
the squad from which the team will
be chosen are the following players:
A. E. Otto, captain of the COM
pany; George Lucas, Frank Getchell,
Gill" Mantor, Ralph Lycan, Claude
Breneman, Roy Lindsay, Warren
Gill, Harry Cell, Scott Stewart,
Hallon Huffman, Kin Kelley, Carl
Mitchell, Babe" Kreatz, Walter
Bremen and several others.
Hillary, Otto, the two Getchell's,
Lucas, Mantor, Stewart, Kelley and
Bremen were members of last years
Co. K team. Mantor was captain
and halfback; Otto, F. and T. Getch-
ell and Lucas played in the line;
Stewart (who has a record of 10 rs
as 1OO-yard sprinter) played end;
Bremen was halfback; Kelly was
fullback, while lullaby alternated at
halfback and fulIback.

WANTS TO BRING SHOPS
FROM MEN0M|NIE, Wis.
Charles J. Anderson Writes He Is In
pressed With BemidjIs CONNER
ciaI Advantages.

Charles J. Anderson, proprietor of
the Menomonie (Wis.) Iron Works
is desirious of locating his shops in
Bemidji, and is corresponding with
local parties relative thereto.
Mr.. Anderson was visitor in
Bemidji, early last spring, and met
with representatives of the Bemidji
Commercial club, at which time the
matter of moving the shops to this
city was discussed. Nothing tang
IDLE came of the meeting, and Mr..
Anderson returned to Menominie.
Mr.. Anderson was a visitor in
Bemidji, and the very apparent
solidity and business energy of
Bemidji struck him forcibly, for he
has written the following letter to
C.. w. Warfeld:
&C. w. Warfeld, Bemidji, MINI.
Dear Sir and Friend:-I felt like
writing you word this morning to
inquire how things are coming along
up at Bemidji. Are things picking
up any up there? I have your town
good bit on my mind and oft
times wish 1 was up there with my
shop, as this town is certainly getting
on the bum.
II had an offer yesterday from
Chippewa Falls, IS miles from here,
of free site if I would come there.
It is very good town, about 1900
inhabitants; no shops there.
Eau Claire has also offered me a
site at any part of the town. There
are three large shops there, but they
want some one who can and will do
the custom work as it comes along,
which the large shops won't do, as
they have their regular work.
Now both these towns know me.
I was born and lived in Eau Claire
thirty years. They both have said:
If you want US to, we will give you
more than the Site" But somehow,
I like Bemidji.
Now why won't they do some
thing up there? 1t certainly would
be great benefit to the town; and I
am sure. would not ask anything
too much. s........ ...-s .--~-
Bring this matter before the boys
again, and letme hear from you"

MANUFACTURERS ADVERTISE
 FOR 100 ABLE MACHINlSTS
Officer of International Ass ocaton Declares Purpose Is 70 Flood City With Surplus Help, But M. E. Brew ster- Greene Says Men Are Badly Needed and Can Be Put to Work at Once.

.sIt Is very evident that the manu- facturers are trying to flood the city with any kind of men, As for this being a nine hour city there are only six factories running nine hours here There is no manufacturing city in the country of over 5000 inhabitants where the cost of living is any high CT than in Bridgeport have work ed in a number of them and know this to be a fact"
 Secretary NJ. F. Brewster-Greene of the Manufacturers Association said this morning that it was absurd to think that the Manufacturers are try iEg to flood the city with men because there are no good machinists out Of work in any part of the country and none are going to leave good jobs un- til they are located here He said that it was also unreasonable to think that the Manufacturers Association was going to give employment to men unless they were assured through their references that they were competent and the kind of men they wanted He added: ''It is wholly a matter of per sonal application. We might get 5000 answers but none will get employment unless they convince us they are good machinists. We could put 100 good machinists to work at once at Bridge bort without displacing a single man now employed. At present the factor ies are squeezing along the best they can. In some cases very poor help, men who drink and work only a few days are kept on in order to get the work cut to say nothing of others who spoil wcrk-"

The showers and threatening wealth CT made a light vote to-day. unless there should be an unusual rush of voters between 2:30 and o'clock All appearances pointed to Democratic success. Among these appearances was the great number of Buckingham buttons worn by men who have all ways voted the Republican ticket and the small number of volunteer work CTS for the Republican candidates.
 At the polling places both sides ad- mitted a lighter vote than had been looked forward to. The threatening weather was blamed for this by many.
 In the First district at one o'clock total of 631 votes yas boiled. Of these the Democrats claimed 263 bal lots. the Republicans 36s. In the Sec ond district at 12:45 o'clock 500 votes were cast. The Democrats claimed 800 and the Republicans 360. At 12:20. 2s2 votes had been cast in the Third dis trict- The Democratic committee were very confident. They claimed 147 of the total The Republican committee was just as sure of winning and pre- dicted a majority of 41. At 12:30 they claimed about 35 votes. At 12 o'clock. in the Fourth district the voters had boiled GOA votes of which the Repub- hcans claimed BOT. leaving 2e7 for the Democrats In nearly all of the dis tricts each committee was sure of ulti- mate victory. The Republicans in the Second district practically admitted their defeat at 1 o'clock.
 What is the sentiment fin the shop?'' was asked of many of the men who came from the plants of the Bridge port Brass CO, the Singer Mfg. Co. the Union Metallic Cartridge Co.,. and out of twenty all said that the senti- ment in the factories was for the Dem ocratic ticket with Buckingham being unanimously the favorite and here and there an exception to some of the candidates

BODY OF GIRL
 FOUND IN POND
Headaches Drive Daughter of President of Southing ton Water Company to Suicide.
(speciaI from United Press.)


 Southington. Nov. 2-After an all night search for the missing girl. the body of Miss Florence Hamlin. 9 years old. daughter of Charles W. Hamlin. president Of the Southington Water Company. was found in a pond not far from her home this morning. A party of searchers. headed by the father and friends of the family made their grue- some find shortly after o'clock
 Miss Hamlin. together with a friend. had been visiting the home of the local Baptist minister and shortly after 10 o'clock she started for home. Miss Hamlin was accompanied by her friend for several blocks until her friend bade her good night and went in another direction toward her home
 When Miss Hamlin failed to appear by midnight the family became alarm ed and organized a searching party. The hunt was continued all night. This morning a few feet out in the pond, not far from a small boat landing, the body was found together with all the clothing The hat alone was mysteri- ously missing and has not yet been found.
 Miss Hamlia had recently suffered from extreme headache. which at times caused her great pain. While the authorities have not yet attributed cause for the tragedy. 1t is believed that the woman, attacked suddenly by a headache last night lost her reason and wandered aimlessly about until she stepped off the boat landing into the pond.
 The tragedy has caused great ex- citement here as the victim was one of the most popular vo,lng women in the city.
