PLANS FOR WATERWORKS
EXTENSION SUBMITTED
City Engineer Stoner Tells Council Of Scheme for Add
tional Mains.-Old Contractor Will Be Asked to
Rosubmit His Bid on Tank

At the regular meeting of the city
council held last evening that body
heard the report of M. D. Stoner,
city engineer, who submitted COM
prehensive plan for the extension of
the present waterworks system of
Bemidji. The proposed extension
is of large proportions, and if adop-
ted, a system that will give Bemidji
one of the most complete lines of
pipes of any city in northern Mime
sofa, and which will completely
cover all parts of the settled districts
of the city.
The plans were prepared at the
suggestion of the council, and the
mains will be laid with the money
secured from the sale of the $780,
600 waterworks bonds which were
voted by the city for the purpose of
extending the mains, erecting a new
waterworks plant and purchasing
some new fire apparatus.
Mr.. Stoner's plans for extension
are as follows:
One 10-inch pipe to extend from
the pumping station, at the foot of
Third street north on Park avenue
to Fourth street, thence east on
Fourth to Beltrami, thence north on
Beltrami to Twelfth, practically
extending to the northern extremity
of the improved district of the city.
From the said 1O-inch pipe at the
junction Of Fourth and Irwin, an g.
inch pipe will be run north on Irwin
to Fifteenth.
a 6-inch pipe will be run from
Fourth and America north on
America to Eighth, thence reduced
to 4-inch main and extended to
Twelfth.
& The present finch main on Min
nesota is to beextended from Tenth
to Twelfth.

BEMID,JI SAWMILLS ARE
TO BEGIN SAVING SEASON
Hoarse Whistles Welcome Announcement to Business
Interests of Bemidji.-Payroll of Mills Amounts to
$4,000 Per Month in Salaries.

The Bemidji Lumber company's
mill steamed up yesterday, and
everything about the place worked
nicely, indicating that all machin-
cry was in "apple-pie" order for
the beginning of the saving season.
The actual work of saving on the
regular schedule will begin tomorrow
morning, and the company expects
to put on full day and night crews
next Monday morning, when $50
men will be given employment.
No improvements were made in
the Bemidji mill, the mill having
been run here for the first time last
season, being brought from Mile
Laos to Bemidji a year ago this
past winter, at which time the
plant was given thorough over
hauling and placed in frst-class
condition, so that it is one of the
best mills in northern Minnesota.
The logs which will be sawed for
the present at the Bemidji mill are
being hauled to the city over the
M. & I. railway from Northome
and Funkley, where camps have
been maintained aud big crews
have cut timber all the present
winter, assuring a large supply of
raw material"
M. A. Hopkins, formerly of Prince
Albert, Saskatchewan, has been
engaged as superintendent of the
mill. r I.
The mill of the Douglass Lumber
company has been saving lath during
the past two months, and the plant
will began the cutting of lumber
just as soon as the ice goes out of
Lake Irving. :. This mill employs
about twenty men on a day shift.
The plant is not operated nights.
The operation of the sawmills in
Bemidji means an output of not less
than $4,000 per month in salaries
alone among the laboring classes,
which is a big figure in any COM
munity; and the resumption of bust
ness at the plants means increased
business all over the city.
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1909-03-30

The machinery of the two big saw
mills in this city have been running
at intervals during the past three or
four days a sort of preliminary
"limbering up" of the steel and iron
which has been idle since the close
down last fall, and before the end of
of the present week, both plants
will be running full blast" The
whistles on the two mills have been
blown for several mornings, and the
hoarse sound is welcome to the peo-
pie of Bemidji, as it announces the
beginningof another active season
of the principal industries of this
city. II
The machinery in the Crookston
mill was given final testing yester-
day, when everything worked
smoothly and without hitch. The
usual repairing has been done during
the winter lay-off, so that the plant
is in frst-class condition for the long
saving season that is just about to
begin.
The mill was to start this morn
ing, with full crews for both night
and day shifts. The logs which
will be used until the ice in Lake
Bemidji thaws are being brought by
rail to the city from the logging
camps at Fowlds, there being large
supply which were cut during the
past winter at that point.
Howard Dea is superintendent of
the mill, position which he has
filled very acceptably for several
years. Andy Larson, formerly head
millwright, is now general foreman
of the mill, succeeding "A. W. Dan
ard, who will this season have charge
of the Crookston mill, which is to
be operated again.
The usual army of men will be
employed this year, and as condi-
tons have always been favorable at
the Crookston company's mill, the
starting of the plant means that a
large number of families will be
maintained through this agency.

sofa and America avenues. Also,
from this 10-inch pipe an 8-inch pipe
will be laid east on Tenth to Doud
and there reduced to 6-inch pipe

of the way in which he voted on the
reorganization of the lower house of
congress at the opening of the
special session. When Mr.. Steiner
sons attention was called to this
article he said:
Yes, I have noticed magazine
article in which I am classified with
the boiling Democrats and criticised
for not abiding the decree Of the
Democratic caucus, but as I am
Republican and could not and did
not attend the Democratic caucus it
is obvious that cannot be blamed
for voting with the Republican ma
jority in this instance.
II did attend the Republican
caucus and they declared in favor
of adopting the old rules, but as !
had publicly declared in favor of
amending the rules, and had joined
in introducing a resolution to that
effect I refused to be bound by the
caucus on the rules question, and
therefore voted down the proposition
to adopt the old rules, and voted
for the only proposition to amend
the rules that was presented. The
proposition offered by Mr.. Clark on
behalf of part of the Democrats and
some insurgents was one to postpone
amending the rules till next Decem-
Der, and in the meantime to take
away the control of the house from
the republican majority and vest it
in the minority.
Such proposition was never
submitted to any meeting Of insur-
gents that / ever attended, and I
never approved Of it. That this pro-
position, if adopted, would have en-

Should a Preacher Attend Theatre?

That is a question that has sometimes
been raised. 1t is one which we are
not sure that we can answer CORRECTLY Dut
with due and proper respect for all those
who may differ from US, it may not be any
more amiss for US to talk OF the matter
than for others to do the same thing.
May a preacher attend a theatre:
That depends entirely upon the theatre
II the theatre is good enough for u.s. our
mothers, our wives, our sisters and our
daughters, it is good enough for any preach
er on this earth.
To condemn all theatres or to exclude
preachers from entertainments to which
we carry the members OF our families,
seems to US a little inconsistent.
Would any preacher claim to DO better
than the good women Of his congregation:
Wonld a reasonable a blame the preach
or for attending a proper theatre?
It all depends upon the kind Of theatre,
whether we, our women, or the preacher
should attend.
Long agoit was not thought very nice
for some people to attend a circus. Church
people demanded that Objectionable acts
or Objectionable speeches should be elimi-
mated.
We now hear Of no objection to the cir
Gus.
To condemn all theatres or operas is
on a par with condemning all books, be-
cause SOM Of them are bad.
The right way to do is correct the thea
tire, II evil exists.
In one OF the recent performances at
Abbeville, the word damn was used twice
during the play. We thought the use OF
the word was unnecessary, and added no
force to what the actor was saying, but
then We thought if we had been at church
for an hour instead Of in the theatre for
three hours, that we would have heard the
name Of the Almighty used, if not fiippant-
ly and irreverently, certainly unecessarl-
ly, anywhere from twenty to fifty times.
This, too, in the presence of pure women
and innocent children.
And again: There ia an express COM
mand against the profane or irrevent use
Of the name Of the Almighty. And one OF
the State courts is reported to have judged
that the word damn" is not ~profane, ex-
cept when used in connection with the
name of the Almighty,
Our pulpits may be too refined to say
hell or" devil" in the presence Of women
and children, but the holy temple may be
d~esecrated by the frequent, fippant or I'M
necessary use Of the name OF the Al
mighty, II a preacher may do this, it is
not clear to us why he may not attend a
theatre Of any kind OF a 'cussing' enter
tainment to which you might 60.

tically 81, 400. 90 on 10000 to be paid, with
nothing on hand to meet it. The claims OF
81, O47. so is due to some sixteen men, all OF
whom are doubtless in need of it.
Except for the payments of arrearages
from a few churches, which may bring in
from two three hundred dollars, we must
look solely to the special collections for
money to pay this 81, 10000 deficit. We
can only meet the present condition by
more than doubling our special December
collections. wish to ask, and to insist,
that all pastors bring this need OF Home
Missions to the attention Of their congre-
cations, and take this special collection.
They can either read this statement or
or make a briefor statement covering the
needs of their people. lsuggsst, too, That
the laymen Of every congregation, wheth-
er or not organized under the Laymen'S
Movement, take up the condition that o.
it. and decide what they can or will do to
relieve it.
Of course Mr.. Brice's suggestion to the
Home Mission preachers is equivalent to
an order which they must obey. But to
US it seems that the simplest way would
have been to ask the Synod to reduce it's
appropriations to a sum which would ap-
prOXimate the probable voluntary col
lections. Enforced collections are not
profitable to the church.
Another way to raise money for mis-.
sions would be to levy the same tax on
Mexican missions that is laid on Home
missions.
1t might be we'll for preachers, some
times, to state whether they take any of
the same medicine which they so freely
prescribe for us. AS a rule their salaries
are far above tho income eff a majority of
their ]parishioners to whom they make
such eloquent appeals in the name Of the
Lord for money, which money is really
for their own benefit, or to boost some
of their schemes. The Lord gets very
little Of the money that is raised in his
name.
