SCHOOL SITE ACCEPTED
DR.. Henderson's Gift to Board May
Have Building on 1t Soon.

DR.. Henderson's offer to the
school board to provide site for a
school back of the Bemidji mill was
accepted at the board meeting last
night. This offer was made some
time ago but was not acted upon be.
canse the school election was 50
close at hand.
Another election will soon be
called for the purpose of voting in
the school, and if the people decide
that they want it, bids for the build
ing will be advertised at once. At
present, twenty-three children live
in the neiehborhood. Some come
over here and other 60 to Nymore.
One room off the kitchen off the old
poor house has been used to house
the remainder.
The district back of the mill has
been hampered in its growth by lack
of school facilities for the children
and it is hoped that the new school
will overcome that obstacle.

alumni MEET TONIGHT
Will Consider Revised Constitution
of Old Association.

Alumni of the high school are
invited to meet with the new asso-
citation in the Library this evening.
Last week, the classes of 1908, 1909
and 1910 met and formed a new
organization as the old one was con-
sidered dead, no meeting having
been held for some time. All gradu-
ates of the high school who care to
join the new association are invited
to the meeting tonight.
When the classes met last week,
the constitution of the old associa-
ton was adopted temporarily as a
working basis for the meeting. 1t
has been revised by committee
appointed by President Peterson
and the new draft will be submitted
this evening by the committee for
adoption.
BY forming a new association,
the students hope to awaken a live
interest in the high school activities.
The meeting tonight will be called
at 8 p. m.

RIVER Low AT KE0KUK.
Man Able to Walk Across Without
Swimming Level of Lake Here.

Travellers who are coming into the
city from down the river report that
it is the lowest it has ever been in
thirty years. Last week at Keokuk,
Iowa, where the river is usually wide
and deep, man walked across with
out having to swim at any time. For
safety, he pushed row boat ahead
as he was afraid of holes.
Some time ago, the government
engineers ordered the water let out
of the reservoirs between here and
Brainerd, but they report that the
water evaporates before it can get
to the larger cities. There is hardly
enough water in the river at the
Twin Cities to carry off the sewage.
The 1ivs r here has backed up from
the power dam and is now level
with the lake. Little water is being
let through the dam as the company
is using steam to run the city dyna-
mo.

COMMERCIAL CLUB AND
FARMERS MEET AUGUST 20
Expect to Discuss Warehouse PROPOSE.
Together Town Clubs May
Be Organized.

Business men of Bemidji and
farmers of this community will meet
together Saturday, August 20, to
consider plans for the warehouse
which has been needed and wanted
in Bemidji for so long. The place
for the meeting has not been selected,
but will be announced in time so
that all out of town men can attend.
The meeting will start at 1:30 and
will take about about an hour.
Many of the farmers clubs near
the city have elected delegates to
represent them officially at the meet
ing, while the members will also
attend unoficially. The farmers
are vitality interested in the ware
house proposition and those who
have been approached say that they
will attend the meeting if it is pos
sible for them to get away.
Harry Reynolds. secretary of the
Commercial club, has sent out
letters to each individual farmer
asking that he attend the meeting
and telling of the propositions to
be considered. The mailing list was
made up of names sent in answer
to the add in the Pioneer, so it is
possible that some farmers may not
be reached. Secretary Reynolds
says that he wishes them to come
as invited by public invitation.
This will be the first time that the
farmers and Commercial club have
ever met together and it is expected
that it will lead to a closer feeling
of community interest. The farmers
want a warehouse and the business
men think they should have 1t. 1t
this scheme goes through, it will be
q stepping stone to combined action
in the future.
Farmers in some localities have
organized business clubs of their
own and at this meeting it be will
suggested that men in each town
ship, or some such division, or
ganize for the betterment of their
commercial interests. Such clubs,
acting with the city business men
through the Commercial club, are
expected to prove strong ties in
uniting the present scattered forces
of both farmers and business men.

COMMERCIAL CLUB ASKS
FOR new TAX ASSESSMENT
Wants State Commission to 20 Over
Entire County-Nebish Taxis
Thought High.

The Commercial club and county
commissioners met for short ses-
sion in the club rooms this morning.
The club asked the commissioners to
reconsider the assessment of the
Crookston Lumber company, espec-
tally in the town of Nebish. 1t also
asked the board to urge the state
tax commission to reassess the tim.
Der in the entire county of Beltrami.
The Crookston Lumber company
Claimed that its taxes in the town of
Nebish had beeh raised too much.
The company said that it realized
that the assessment had been too
small on the last tax list, but that in
other parts of the county the assess
ment had been too high. The CON-
pany wanted just valuation put on
all of the land or else the valuation
left alone. 1t did not want a high
valuation on all of the land.
1t appeared at the meeting that
the valuations on timber land
throughout the entire county are
unsatisfactory and that the timber
men want the state commission to 90
over the county as soon as possible.
The commissioners who are meeting
as board of equalization, did not
action but took the matter under
advisement.
Harry Reynolds, secretary of the
Commercial club, presented the fol-
lowing resolutions to the board this
afternoon: r.
BE it resolved, that the Bemidli
COMMERCIAL club7request-etttAe-beaFd:
of equalization to place a stumpage
valuation of timber in the town of
Nebish at $500 per thousand;
BE it further resolved; that the
board urge the state tax commission
to reassess the timber in the entire
county of Beltrami.
Respectfully,

MORE GOVERNORS MAY
VISIT ST. PAUL CONGRESS
President Taffs Note to Coverno,
Eberhart Used as a Basis Of
Urging Letters.

St. Paul, August 1O-(Special to
the Pioneer president Taft's inter.
est in the second National Conser.
walton Congress to be held in St.
Paul, September S, 6, 7,8 and 9 is
shown in a letter to Governor Eber'
hart of Minnesota.
His letter has been used as the
heads of letters to the governors who
have given excuses for not attending
the congress, urging them to recon.
slider the matter and come to St,
Paul:
beverly, Mass, August 6.
Hon. A. O. Eberhart,
Governor of Minnesota, St. Paul.
Dear Governor:-I acknowledge
your letter of the End written from
Boston, in which you request me to
issue an invitation to the governors
of all the states to visit the Con.
servation Congress. l feel that !
ought not to issue such an invitation
since that matter is entirely in the
hands of Mr.. Baker, Mr.. White and
yourself and should remain there;
but am glad to say to you that it
is my sincere hope that the
governors of the various states, by
their attencance at the congress, will
express the interest which 1 know
they all feel in securing full and
valuable discussion of this great
problem, which so much interests
every American.
william H. Taft"
1t is believed in St. Paul that this
letter from the president will be the
means of bringing more governors to
congress than otherwise would have
attended. 1t is recognized here that
the time is not really the best for
some of the governors. There are
hot campaigns in some of the states
and several of the governors are can
didates for reelection. The presi-
dents letter however is expected to
show just where he stands on the
conservation question and since he
has agreed to come himself and urges
the governors to do the same, there
no doubt will be a larger attendance
of state executives than has been
expected.

Timetable CHANGED
To Lessen Running Time Between
international Falls and Brainerd.

Starting Sunday morning, a new
time card will 20 into effect on the
M. 81. The Northern Pacific has
taken off the train from Little Falls
to Brainerd with which the train
from Bemidji used to connect and
they will now q eet later train.
G. H. Warner, of Brainerd, said
that the reason for the change was
that the trains were being run too
fast over the new line and that the
officials thought it advisable to cut
down the running time. The trains
will arrive and depart at the terminals
at the same time, the difference being
between International Falls and
Brainerd.
Following is the change:
Train 80 will arrive from Inter.
national Falls at sos a. m. and de.
part at 8:15 instead of arriving at
Sis and departing at 8:25.
Tram 81 will arrive from St.
Paul at Goo P. m. and depart at
8: 10 instead of arriving at $40
and departing at $3.50.
Train "a will arrive from Inter
national Falls at 1925 p. m. and de-
part at 1885 instead Of arriving at
1;35 and departing at 1:45.
Train SO will arrive from St.
Paul at 4;1o a, m. and depart at
4:2o instead Of arriving at 4:2o
and leaving at AGO.

Baltimore, August 1o-(Special
to the PioneeD-Joe Cans, former
lightweight boxing champion of
the world, died here this morning
at the home of his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Camp.
Joe Cans was champion of the
world until he lost to Battling
Nelson at Reno. Since that fight,
he has never been in good health
and consumption soon took hold
of him. A few months ago,
he went to Arizona to try to regain
his health, but found he had lived
in Baltimore too long. This week,
he raced across country to see his
parents once more before he died.
BY administering oxygen, the
doctors were able to keep him
alive until he reached Baltimore.

story. 1t is simply this. The op-

will sell you seven. room house,

location, only small payment down
and the balance at $4,000 per
month. You can make the place
pay for itself, and in a short time
you will have deed to a nice piece
of residence, property and won't
realize how you got it. I'll bet that
if you do this once and see how nice
it works out that you will get the
habit and do the same thing over
again because you will then realize
how nice it is to have little money

work with hands and head.
