Judges To Award Easter Prize.

nesday, April 9th, 1910, when the
Committee of Judges will make the
final count of all the votes cast
during the Pioneers Mammoth
Prize Contest, they will count the

Candidate during Easy Profit

Subscriptions from Monday morning,
March 21st, to ten o'clock Saturday
night, March 10th as stated in the
rules and conditions published gov
erning the awarding of the Easy
Profit Week Easter Prize.
| The reason the Pioneer did not
award the prize Saturday night at
the close of Easy Profit Week was
because they wanted disinterested
parties to mrke the award. Also
because so many of the Candidates
who worked for the Easy Profit
Week Easter Prize did not want
the number of New Subscriptions
they turned in made public as it
would give the other candidates
such an accurate estimate of the
probable number of votes they were
able to secure during the week.

eddy safe to say in this great onward
march of PROCESS the science of me-
chanics as applied to automobiles

march of PROCESS the science of me-
chanics as applied to automobiles
has been among the most notable.
Compare the present cars with those
produced just ten years ago, and the
growth and perfection is almost be-
yond comprehension.
One of the earliest pioneers in
automobile building was a Buick.
It took its place with the Ameri
can public as the Standard of ex-
cellence and exemplifcation of ad-
vanced science in automobile con-
struction.
No greater reward can be had
for any Car than having won the
confidence and approval of the
greatest people on earth, namely,
the American Public. This ques-
ton as to whether the Buick has
succeeded in gaining this reward
can be answered best by the fol-
lowing facts: In 1904 the output
was thirty-seven cars; in 1908,
eight thousand eight hundred and
twenty were manufactured and
sold, while in 1909 the production
was fourteen thousand six hundred
and three. Great as has been the
business increase of the Buick line,
it is estimated that during the
season of 1910, the Buick Motor
company will manufacture and
sell between forty and forty-one
thousand cars. The orders to
date calling for forty thousand one
hundred cars.
An inspection of the 1910 line of
Buick cars shows little change in
outline owing to the advanced ideas
incorporated in their standard
models. A close study. of the
mechanical features; however, will
show a perfection of equipment
which enables the Buick to give it's
thousands of patrons, a car still at
the head of the long list of Auto
mobiles manufactured today. =
The Buick Model 10 The Pho
.neer" is a winner and everybody
knows it. That's why the Bemidji
Pioneer chose it, and here are some
additional reasons for it: First, be.
cause it is not an assembled car.
Second, because it has a special
steel frame with reinforce SUBJ
frames. Third, the motor has the
special valve and head construction,
improved splashed system of lubrica.
ton, new transmission and differen-
tial gears; all examples of perfect
mechanism
This !. magnificent car has been
run but once, that being the day
it arrived in Bemidji when it was
tested for adjustment (Which proved
entirely Unnecessary. The car is

OHIO ROAD IN TROUBLE
COURT NAMES RECEIVERS FOR
HOOKING VALLEY.
Minority Stockholders Object to Con.
troll by the Chesapeake
and Ohio.

COLUMBUS. Ohio. May 17-Ex-Attor-
ney General J. NJ. Sheets and Henry J.
Booth. an attorney, were appointed re-
ceivers OF the Hooking Valley Railway
Company by Judge Kinkead in the COM
mon pleas court yesterday. The receivers
qualified by giving bond in the sum Of
$4,000 each. which was furnished by a
bonding company.
Before appointing the receivers the court
denied motion of the defendant for a
modification Of the temporary restrain
ing order. recently granted. enjoining the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company
from voting any Of the capital stock Of
the Hooking Valley, and entoining the re-
tirement Of $4,000 600 preferred stock.
The court dec.de that while the Chesa
peake and Ohio may hold the stock as an
investment. it may not exercise the rights
Of q stockholder In voting It, 1t is held
that the proposed retirement OF SIS, OOO. 600
preferred stock Of the company is illegal
in the method In which 1t is proposed to
be done.
The action of the court was made In
Ralph E.. Westfall, stockholders, are
plaintiffs. 1t is the result of fight
against the Hooking Valley railway in-
stituted year or more ago by indepen-
ent coal operators or the Hooking valley,
OF whose organization. the Ohio Coal OPP
orators Association, Mr.. Warrington is
commissioner and secretary.
The operators complained that the
Hooking Valley has been discriminating
against them In various ways. and that
its ownership and control Of the Toledo
and Ohio Central railroad. the GAINESVILLE
and Western. the Kanawha and Michi-
gan and the Sunday Creek Coal Company
and its subsidiary companies constituted
an illegal monopoly 1t was contended.
among other things, that rebates were
given. that money had been misappro-
priated. and that certain coal companies
had been favored In the shipment Of
coal.
Several suits had been brought against
the road. as wei as against other roads
concerned In the deal put through recently
by Edwin Hawley for the sale Of the
Hooking Valley by the trunk lines to the
Chesapeake and Ohio. while the Lake
Shore purchased the Toledo and Ohio
Central and divided with the Chesap cake
control Of the Kanawha and NJ chigan.
Some OF these suits were brought at the
instance of Kanawha and Michigan MI
nority stockholders, Of which Samuel I'm
termeyer is one, and others were brought
by Ohio men. Receivers we're asked for
In them. but the general belief was that
this was a formaiity, and that at all
events receivership would not occur I'M
til the questions raised by the plaintiffs
had been tried out In the courts.
