FARMERS SHOULD RAISE
REPRODUCING CHICKENS
Big Demand for Eggs, and Supply
Hardly Ever Equals Demand
. .-.-. $685.. .:--- -,
Good Prices. -.

Some merchants of Bemidji report
that there is somewhat of shortage
of eggs for domestic. use here, and
that the quantity of hen fruit" that
is marketed here is comparatively
limited, indicating that those. who
follow farming hereabouts are neglect
ing this most important industry
raising reproducing chickens.
Yesterday, one prominent local
firm telegraphed and, telephoned to
every nearby town, including as far
west as Mcintosh and Fosston,
actually begging for several cases of
fresh eggs with which to supply their
customers. The universal answer
was, None to spare; can use all we
have, and more"
The farmer who will raise good
breeds of chickens so that he may
supply the market with fresh eggs
and poultry is neglecting an industry
that ought to be a paying under,
taking in this section, if the present
demand and shortage of supply is
to be taken as any criterian. Fresh
eggs are retailing on the Bemidji
market at 80 cents per dozen-cer
tainly a good price for the product
of the feathered family.
This object lesson should be
taken to heart by those who are
farming or any who has the property
where they can raise chickens. The
Pioneer believes that there is good
money in this class of "farming," il
properly conducted.

DISASTROUS BRAINERD
FIRE; LOSS NEAR 100000
Fire Ragged All Morning and Has Probably Wiped Out an
Entire Block in the Business Section
OF That City.

Word was received from Brainerd
this morning that a disastrous fire
had wiped out the business portion
of that city, entirely destroying sew
eral fine business buildings and
covering an entire block.
While reports are meagre, it ap-
pears that the fire started in Swartz's
drug store, at the corner of Laurel
and Sixth, and burned north toward
the Ransford hotel building, destroy
ing that building and the saloon;
and also burning westward to the

The Grand Rapids players assert
they will not play if Peter Edd. one
of the locals, participates in the game.
AS Edd is one of the stars of the
Company K eleven, his services
could not we'll be dispensed with.
Every effort has been made to get a
game with Grand Rapids, but the
Rapids" team will give no satisfac-
tory answer 10 repeated challenges.
The local players have proposed
that the two elevens get together at
Cass Lake and play for the champ
ionship of northern Minnesota, with
suitable division of the receipts for
winner and loser.
About the only proposition that
seems anywhere near agreeable to
the Grand Rapids players is to pull
off a contest between Bemidji and
Grand Rapids at Grand Rapids, and
weakening the local team by taking
out .Edd, one of the best of the line
men.
In view of the fact that the Spald-
ing team of Duluth has given out a
statement thatthey were given a raw
deal' at Grand Rapids last Sunday
and not allowed the use of the field
while pulling off their plays, the
crowd continually interfering, it
would appear that visiting tea ms
have little chance to put up strong
game. against Grand Rapids, on
Grand Rapids grounds.
However, Company K disputes
Grand Rapids claim to the champ
ionship of northern Minnesota, and
is willing to show, by actual contest,
that they are the equals, if not the
superiors, of the Rapids" pigskin
chasers.

Lee HEBRON ACQUIRES
SOME DESIRABLE LAND
Will Drain the Property, Which Lies
Adjacent to Plated Portion
" of City.

Through a recent acquisition OF
seventy-fve acres of land, which was
purchased from M. G. Foley, to.
gether with property which he had
already acquired, Lee Hebron of
this city has become the owner OF
155 acres of land adjoining the City
of Bemidji that gives him property
of great value for residence purposes.
Mr.. Heffron's property lies dir
ectly west of Bailey's Addition to
the City of Bemidji and is between
Fourth and Twelfth streets, being
crossed by the new 500 survey.
The land includes what known
as the Hefron Eighty" which was
previously jointly owned by Clara,
Gussie and Lee Heffron. While
his sisters we're here, in August,
Lee bought the interest of both fol
1866.
Mr.. Heffron's recent acquisition
lies closer to the plated portion OF
Bemidji than any other unplatted
land in this section.
The desirability of the land for
residence purposes is indicated by
the fact that from the Bemidji city
postoffice to the nearest part of the
property is but six blocks, and it is
but twenty-one blocks to the farthest
point of the 155 acres.
AS the city limits of Bemidji ex.
pand, with the undoubted increase
of population which is expected, Mr..
Heffron's property will in time be
centrally located in the residence
district, as the growth of the city is
stopped eastward because of Lake
Bemidji and southwark because ot
Lake Irving, and the natural growth
will be toward the north and west
crowding the Heffron property,
greatly increasing the valuation Of
lots therein. II
This property presents a fine
opportunity for drainage. A portion
of the land is in swamp. The
lowest point of this property is 1 Il
feet above Lake, Irving at high
water; and the other end of the
swampy portion of the property is
ten feet above Lake Irving at high
water; and there is fall of twelve
feet to the mile. -
Mr.. Heffron contemplates putting
in system Of editching which will
drain the land and give him mos,
desirable tract. It is his intention
to extend numerous laterels from
the proposed judicial ditch which
cuts through the center of this trac
and which alone is considered sufh
Gent by most engineers.
Mr.. -Heffron has been advised BY
drainage experts that the system 0
ditching which he contemplate
putting in will thoroughly drain tn,
lowest lands of his property within
six months from the time the ditche
are completed.
Mr.. Hebron states that there ar,
4 some 100 acres of his tract which
are not cleared, but that he i
beginning to clear this land ant
expects to have the property cleared
of all timber, brush and stump!
within years time. The draining
and clearing of the property vii
make it one of the most desirable
