MONEY PAID OVER FOR
WATERWORkS BONDS.
Commercial Investment Co. of Duluth
"Put Up the $50, 900, in Chi.
cago Yesterday.

The bonds of the city of Bemidji
in the sum of $4,000, known as the
/ waterworks bonds" were sold in
Chicago yesterday, the Commercial
Investment company of Duluth be-
ing the purchasers, according to G..
M. Torrance, of the firm of Gibbons
& Torrance, who received telegram
yesterday afternoon from G.. A.
Elder of the Investment company,
who stated that he had paid the
money and received the bonds.
1t is stated that the money real
lied from the sale of the bonds will
be in the hands of City Treasurer
Earl Cell, within few days, and it is
expected that the city council will
Immediately get busy" with the
work of getting the plans and begin
ing the work of installing the new
waterworks system, erecting the
new tank and purchasing the ne
chemical engine, etc, which is author
lied by the resolution authorizing
the issuing of the bonds.
Speaking of the installing of the
proposed new system of waterworks
and fire protection, w. L. Brooks
said today:
The city council ought to secure
the services of an expert for the
purpose of giving advice as to
what would be the best kind of a
water system to put in, in Bemidji.
Insurance rates are higher here
than in Grand Rapids and several
other towns hereabouts, on account
of the water system. A rate man
for some insurance company would
make fine advisor.

WILL HAVE TO RESTORE
LANDS TO The INDIAN
Land Office at Washington Claims Land
Was Secured by H. H. Martin
Through Fraud.

;, Cass Lake, March Especial to
the Pioneer. The property which
was purchased from Nah-gah-nah-
cumig-ish- kung, an Indian, by H. H.
Martin of Minneapolis two years ago
will most likely be turned over to
the Indian again. Word was re-
!ceived here yesterday from Washing
ton that the land was obtained from,
the Indian in fraudulent manner
and that a suit would be commenced
in the very near future to recover
the land for the Indian.
All the particulars of the matter
have not yet been learned, but it is
stated that some government official
is mixed up in the alleged crooked
work.
The land constitutes about seventy
acres and is in the vicinity of the
boat landing. MI. Martin has eS
pended con siderable amount Of
time and money in fixing up the
ground but it now looks as if he
will be forced to give it up or make
different arrangements with the gov.
eminent for the purchase Of the
land.

Gus Emil Engels, first; Olive Cum

second place.
At the conclusion of the contest,
the speakers received many con-
gratulations from the townspeople
on the excellent showing that had
been made.

Miss Clara Fisk won first place fol
the serious selections and Emil
Engels was awarded first for the
humorous, and these two students
will represent the Bemidji High
school in the declamatory contest
between the high schools of Bemidji,
Grand Rapids, Park Rapids, Eagle
Bend, Cass Lake and Akeley, which
will be held at Grand Rapids Friday
evening, March 10th. 1t is worthy
of note that Miss Fisk won first
place in the humorous, in last years
preliminary contest.
In the contest held last evening,
Miss Fisk was given a marking of
286 points, which was the highest,
for the serious selections. Grant
Gill was second, with 272; Elmer
billiard, third, 200; Ethel Knox,
155. Elmer Engalls was marked at
2S3 points, first place in the humor-
Gus; Olive Cunningham and James

281 points each.
The judges of the contest we're

indicative of the great interest that
is taken in educational matters in
Bemidji, and the different parts of
the program were we'll received.
The stage was prettily decorated
with blue and white pennants and
with streamers of the colors of the
different classes, as we'll as a liberal
sprinkling of maroon and gold, in
dicative of the "Gophers," the I'm
iversity of Minnesota, the whole
lending very bright and pleasant
coloring.
Professor Thornton, science
teacher in the Bemidii City Schools,
presided at the contest, and made
an exceptionally good chairman.
The musical feature of the pro-
gram was of high order of merit.
Miss Hanson had charge of that
feature, and the different numbers
were rendered in such manner
as to reflect great credit on her
ability. Especially was this true of
the Boys Glee Club of the high
school, it being their first appear
ance since the organization was
formed, but a few days ago; and
the Girls Glee Club also acquitted
with honors.
