alleged, recently stabbed John Cole
man, a saloon-keeper in that village,
was arraigned yesterday afternoon
before Justice Slocum of this city on
a. charge of assault in the first degree
and pleaded not guilty. being bound
over to the next term of the district

John Coleman and Marshal Gid
den of Nymore testified as witnesses,
after which Palm, through his attor-

waived further examination and was
bound over to the grand jury at the
next term of the district court which

Was Logging ION His Own Hook"

The Pioneer erred, some time
ago, in printing an article relative
to the the logging operations which
County Commissioner Hello Glenn
entson has conducted, near Glen.
entson, during this winter.
Through natural error, we were
led to think that Mr.. Clementson
had been logging for the J. Neils
Lumber company of Cass Lake,
when he had, in fact, been cutting
his own timber, which he bought
from the government at one of the
sales at the Cass Lake land Office.
When he was here, Mr.. Clement
son stated that he was going to
Cass Lake to see Neils, we supposing
that he was going to interview J.
Neils of the Neils Lumber company,
who lives at the Lake." Instead,
Mr.. Clementson was going to see
William O'Neil, the superintendent
of logging on the Indian reserva-
tions, under the terms of the Morris
Chippewa law.
We gladly make the correction,
that Mr.. Clementson was cutting
his own timber, and was not en-
gagged in logging for any lumber
company, and we trust that the
natural error has caused the north
country commissioner no inconven-
fence.

TRY TO SAVE THE
A0MESTEADER HIS LAND
Congressman Stevenson Goes to the
Aid Of Frederick NJ. LoveIess, a r.
Clearwater County Farmer.

In the classification of the lands
on the coded RedyLake Indian reser-
walton under the Act of January,
1889, only that land classified as
agricultural land was subject to
homestead entry. The timber must
be sold off of the timber land before
it could be entered. IL
In 1907 Frederick M. Loveless
made an application for homestead
near Mallard, Clearwater county,
and the same was accepted. He
moved his family on the land,
made valuable improvements and
cultivated several acres, living there
for the required fourteen months,
and offered his proof at the Land
Office. It was then found that the
land was classified as timber land,
and that the department had no
right to allow his entry in the first
place, and that under the existing
law he could not secure the land as
homestead. Neither does the
existing law permit him to buy the
timber, which is not very valuable,
there being very little timber on this
quarter.
MI. Loveless made a trip to Crooks
ston, last November to interview
Congressman STEVENSON, with the
result that bill has been introduced
to permit Mr.. Loveless to purchase
the timber on his quarter, at private
sale, paying for the government esti.
mate of the timber. If this can be
done Mr.. Loveless' home will be
protected and he> can secure his
land,
Congressman Stevenson advises
Mr.. Loveless that he will do his
best to secure favorable action on
the bill. Mr.. Loyeless is poor man
and is raising his family on the home
stead, and is Observing of the efforts
Mr.. Stevenson is giving him.

In the employment of rangers pre-
ference is to be given to cruisers and
woodsmen, game wardens and for

setting of fires may be fined $500 or
punished by Imprisonment for ten
years or less. Campers who set camp
fires in the woods are required to
clear the ground for ten feet around
and carefully put out the fire before
leaving.
People or corporations who cut
timber must pile and burn the slash
ings when the timber is cut, except
that if the cutting is done between
March and November the slashings
shall be piled and burned during
the following winter.

road track. IhlS arrangement
simplifies the handling of large
packages, conforming to the general
idea of convenience in handling
goods. =.
A brick vault has been erected in
the building which reaches from the
bottom of the basement to the third
floor. This vault is used as hum
idor for storing cigars, and is pro-
vided with the proper ventilation,
including dead air space, which
gives perfect temperature for the
cigars.
There are elevators in the build
ing, which are operated by the Arm
strong system, which give easy
access to all floors.
The floors above the basement
are built in a very solid and SUBJ
stantial manner, and T. ]. Burke,
president of the company, asserts
that a railroad train could be run
over the floors without damaging
them in the least.
On the ground, or second floor
of the block, there is large plat
form scale of ten-ton capacity,
which is located close to the eleva-
tor and but few feet from the
door on the west, from which goods
are shipped to outside points, and
but a few feet removed from the
door on the north which is used
for delivery to local merchants.
This arrangement is very convenient
and reduces the usual complica-
tons encountered in making whole
sale shipments. --e p.
On the second floor, in the north
east corner, is located the main
offices of the firm, which are 5Ox5O
feet, commodious and we'll lighted,
and fully equipped with quarter
sawed oak fixtures. Here is trans
acted the main business of the COM
pany, and the clerical force has it's
headquarters here. In the rear of
the office is a packing room. Here
are exhibited open packages of
samples of the different lines of
goods which. are handled by the
| Northern Grocery company. In
this room all packages are wrapped
and prepared for shipment.
Between the office and the packing
room there is vault SKIS, which is
absolutely fre-proof and burglar
proof. Where are placed the books
and records of the company, and
other valuable documents of the
company.
T. J. Burke, as president and gen.
eral manager of the company presides
over the office force which consists
of the following: T.. N. Ebert, secre-
tary, Pauline Markham, assistant
secretary; E. R. Renner, auditor, and

NEW WHOLESALE GROCERY
HAS STARTED BUSINESS
Northern Grocery Company Has Most Complete Building
in Northwest; Has Every Modern Convenience Large
Stocks, Backed by Unlimited Capital.

The Northern Grocery company
Bemidii's newest and biggest whole
sale enterprise, has formerly entered
the commercial field in Minnesota,
and is now prepared to fill al
wants on the shortest notice.
A visit to tine headquarters Of
the new company shows a large and
commodious brick building, filled
from the basement to the roof
with generous quantity of the
very best of the well-established
stocks that are required of whole.
sale concern; and the supply is OF
such quantity as to enable the
company to expeditiously fill the
wants of the local merchants of
Bemidji as we'll as those of other
cities and towns adjacent thereto.
The brick building owned by
the Northern Grocery company is
one of the very best arranged
wholesale establishments in the
state, every part of the structure
having been constructed along
original, practical lines, with special
regard to commodiousness and con-
veniency and economy in the work
of handling goods.
The building is of solid brick, the
dimensions being 75x1OO feet, two
stories and a basement, giving three
complete floors.
The building is located opposite
the M. & I. depot, and special spur
has been built from the M. & L.
main tracks to the building for the
purpose of handling shipments to
and from the company. A substan-
TALLY erected platform has been con-
structed from the southern door of
the warehouse, on an average height
with the floor of the freight cars,
which expedites the handling of all
shipments of goods.
The walls of the building are COM
posed of brick, and are sixteen inch
es in thickness and are absolutely
frost-proof.
The basement, or first floor, is
built in very original manner and
is especially we'll arranged as regards
to light. The floor is of solid con-
crete. The basement is provided
with an automatic pump, which is
one of the features of the building.
This pump is so arranged that in
case the waters of Lake Bemid il
reach high-water point the pump
will automatically remove the water
from the basement and deposite the
same in the sewer, thus procluding
any possibilities of the basement
ever being flooded with water.
One of the innovations of the
building is the chute by which
shipments of goods are sent to the
basement of the building from the
outside platform adjoining the rail.

manager for the Northern Grocery
company and will have charge of the
travelling men who will be in the
employ of the company and make"
the cities and towns east, west, north
and south of Bemidji.
Mr.. Currie was until recently in
the employ of the Gowan-Peyton-
Twohy company of Duluth, having
been commercial traveller for that
company from the time of its organ
ization until about month ago,
when he severed his connection
with the Duluth company and
became stakeholder in the North
ern Grocery compony.
Mr.. Currie is one of the most
popular and efficient commercial
travellers in the state of Minnesota,
and the Northern Grocery company.
is indeed fortunate in having Mr..
Cur1ie for its sales department.
Bemidji has been made terminal
point, and terminal rates have been
granted to this city, effective Dec.
10, 1908, for state shipments, and
Jan. rs, 1909, for interstate traffic.
This desirable concession was secur-
ed by the Northern Grocery COM
pany. w. H. Cleary and T. ]. Burke
of the grocery company appearing
in person before the State Railroad
and warehouse commission on Dec
ember 3, 1908, and showing conclu-
sively that Bemidji was one of the
principal shipping points in the north
half of the state, with the result that
the commission, the same day, issued
an order declaring Bemioji a termi-
nal and giving this hub of north
central Minnesota terminal rates
(that is in" rates) on carload ship
ments should be the same as those
prevailing at Crookston, Brainerd,
St. Cloud, Fergus Falls and other
points. The securing of these
TERMINAL rates, gives to the mer-
chants Of Bemidji a reduction of
twenty per cents on all incoming
freight which is received in carload
lots. .,...:.-.---- 3d..
The locating of the Northern
Grocery company in Bemidji was
decided upon by the members of
the company after they had thor
oughly looked over the ground at
all points in northern Minnesota,
being convinced that Bemidji was
destined to become the general dis
trlbutlon point and intact the hub
of northern Minnesota" This city
is the geographically logical point
for just such an institution as a
wholesale establishment. Railroad
facilities are the best and as
shipping point Bemidji is unexcelled
anywhere north of Brainerd. .
The Northern Grocery company
has capital of $50, 1000, all paid-in,
with unlimited capital at the COM
mand of the company, and Bemidji
is indeed fortunate in securing such
a solid and substantial institution.
Mr.. Burke, the president of the
Northern Grocery company, states
that business starts out very good
and that merchants of Bemidji and
in this vicinity have been very loyal
to the new enterprise.
