in the opera house room last evening,
the council was anxious to adjourn
to allow its members to attend this
meeting. W.. 2
The new officers for the coming
year were chosen as follows:
City attorney, Graham M. Tor
rance; city. physician, DR.. LA.
Ward; street commissioner, William
:Hazen; chief of police. Allen Benner;
partolmen, Julius Dahl, George
Denley and D. E. Smith.
The clerk of the water and light
commission was not chosen owing
to a tie vote between E. ]. Gould and
Louis Eckstrom. This matter will
be taken up at the council meeting
next Monday night.
The new mayor, John c. Parker,
was present at the meeting and
gave decidedly interesting talk to
the council. The council chamber
was packed from door to door.
Mr.. Parker stated that he stood
for the future up-building of the
City of Bemidji; that he was in
favor Of boulevarding the lakeshore
drive and sincerely hoped that the
city council would work in harmony
with the commercial club. He
mentioned the fact that there were a
number of 'hell-holes" in the city,

two of which were our depots. He
stated it was shame to take lady
to either of these stations to board
any of the night trains and that one
thing we need, and need badly, was
new railroad stations.
Mayor Parker wished it under
stood that the saloons in this city
would all be treated alike, and
expected each and every one of
them to live up to the state laws,
closing their places of business on
Sunday and at II o'clock of each
week day.
One thing we must do in this city
is to prohibit the splitting on side
walks. We must have cleaner and
better city. In connection with this,
Mr.. Parker gave several illustrations
and stated that this must be strictly
adhered to. He touched upon the SUBJ
ject of new appointments, ETC., and
stated that perhaps some thought
that the appointments might have
been different and better, but in his

judgment he did what he deemed
best and would continue to conduct
the affairs of this city in this manner.
He stated:
Il have made mistakes in hiring
lumberjacks and when I find that I
have mistaken the man, I fire. him,
and I intend to conduct the city's
affairs on this same plan. I am for
Bemidji first, last and all the time,
and trust that I may work in har.
mony with its representatives.
Mr.. Parker made many friends
and gained the confidence of all who
heard him and will without doubt
make one of the best mayors Be-
midi has ever had.

Bemidji band were on hand and fur
nished some stirring up-to.date
music for the meeting; and the band
boys also showed their booster
spirit in marked degree.
w. L. Brooks, president of the
commercial club, called the meeting
to order and stated the object of the
gathering.
Mr.. Brooks stated he was pleased
to note the get-together spirit that
was being displayed in the city; il
augured we'll for the future cooper.
alton and unity of all interests to
the common end of a greater Be.
midi. The directors of the club
were ready to explain what had
been done and how the money which
they had handled had been received
and expended.
Mr.. Brooks told of the hard work
which the directors had in inducing
the 500 company to change its
original plans and build its line in
to Bemidji and the diligent efforts
that were necessary to raise the
money demanded for purchase of
right-of-way, and how he finally made
personal trip to Minneapolis and
interviewed President Pennington of
the 500 and secured an agreement
from him that the sum to be
raised for purchase of right-of-way
should be less than was at first
thought.
Mr.. Brooks told of the sum of
$1,28O.O9 remaining in the funds
secured by subscription for purchas-
ing right-of-way for the 500, and
thought it wise to get an expression
from those who had donated as to
what disposition to make of that
sum; and read letter indicating

With a spirit of "get.together''
that was born in Bemidji some time
ago, and which was more fully
accentuated at the recent meeting of
the Northwestern Development
association, the members of the
Bemidji Commercial club and other
residents of Bemidji who were not
members of the club met in public
gathering last night and listened to
reports given by the board of
directors, through President Brooks,
of the affairs of the commercial club
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1910-03-09

and accounts of what had been done
by the directors during the past
year, more especially in connection
with the successful effort put forth
to induce the 500 Railway company
to build it's Plummer- Moose Lake
line through this city. And the
report showed that the board of
directors had done remarkably we'll;
and their efforts deserve, and they
received last night, the very warmest
commentator.

midi Townsite company, suggested
that that the money be devoted to
advertising and boosting Bemidji;
and that he thought the wisest
thing to do was not to distrub the
funds, but to use them for promot-
ing the best interests of the city.
AL. H. Jester, secretary of the
commercial club, spoke at some
length along the line of getting
together, and took a strong stand
against what he termed "knocker. y
He said he had no object in view in
being secretary of the Bemidji Com.
mercial club except to GENERALLY
boost Bemidji and Beltrami county
which would benefit his own property,
on Lake Plantagnet, where he oper-
ated a summer resort. Get together
and push the knocker off the board"
was Mr.. TESTERS advice.
T. ]. Burke thought every citizen
of Bemidji should be member of
the commercial club, and all should
be a self-constituted committee of
boosters" and get into the club
and have a say as to what should be
done.
It was decided that a membership
soliciting committee of five should
be selected by the club at the an
nual meeting, which will be held in
the near future; and President
Brooks stated that it would be the
aim of the club to hold regular
meetings every thirty days hereafter.
Mayor J. C. Parker (who had
just been sworn into ofice) came
into the meeting and was called on
for talk.
The new mayor said he was for
cooperation and getting together of
everyone and every interest in the
city, to the mutual benefit of all.
He was confident that when the
sawmills had csased to cut timber in
Bemidji, they would never be missed,
as the city would have advanced as
a leading manufacturing and
shipping center, and a central mar
ket for agricultural and diary pro.
ducts that would insure the perman-
ent, prosperous growth of the entire
community.
He wanted the city council and
the commercial club to get more
closely together. and the result
would be the very best city in the
state outside of the twin cities and
Duluth, because of the natural loca-
ton and having for inhabitants a
class of boosters and hustlers that
would push the city forward.
The mayor predicted that Lake
Bemidji would soon be boulevarded
around its entire shore length; and
that it would be but few years, at
the longest, when paying street
railway would encircle the lake
shore, giving this place the premier
advantages for a splendid summer
resort.
Prof. Harry Masten spoke word
concerning the band and his efforts
to give Bemidji an up-to-date musical
organization, and the desire to get
new uniforms; and told the meeting
that he was receiving all kinds of
substantial encouragement in his
efforts. which was duly appreciated
| by the band members and himself
The meeting adjourned, after
there had been general expression
of loyalty to the commercial club
and several new members had been

The best method of combating cholera is To practice sanitary methods as regards cleanliness and dislnfection of the henhouse and grounds. Droppings should be frequently removed and mixed with soil where the chickens do not work, or aisinGected with a lG per cent solution of carbolic acid. Houses, nest boxes and GOODS should be sprayed with a .0 per cent solution of carEolic acid, and spraying and white washing in general should be frequent and thoroagh.

Washington, July 2.-Briga dier General William l..

The position was created by Ballinger to as sist him in solving the engineer ing problems involved in com pleting the engineering projects under way.
 It is said at the interior depart ment that the new officer does not supplant F. H.

It is explicitly stated that the appointment does not indicate a change in the personnel of the reclamation service.

The Poultry House

A good roof is the essential part of the building, and when ever a poultry house roof be- .comes leaky it should be immedi- ately repaired or replaced by a new one.
 If the house has an earth floor it should be filled with earth or 6 inches above the surround ing ground and a good trench dug around tlre house to lead surface water away. Where the beassee is Quilt en a -hhlIlltslope an extra em bankment or trench on the upper side will aid in divert ing surface water from above away from the building. Keep the floor dry by surface draining or under drainage, or build a board or concrete floor in it. Plenty of straw and other dry litter soulp be on the poultry house floor at all times to keep the feet of the fowls warm. - Journal of Agriculture.
