OLD SOLDIERS HAD A
FINE time AT A|TkEN
Have Returned Full of Praise for
Entertainment Given Them by
Their Hosts.

The following was written for the
Pioneer by one of the Bemidji G.
A. R. men at the Aitkin encamp'
ment this week;
The advance guard of r. H. Carr
Post No. ia of Bemidji arrived in
Aitkin at $40 Wednesday morning
and were met'by the Sons of Veterans
and escorted to Headquarters where
they registered and were assigned
quarters by the ladies of the Relief
Corps. We then made requisition
on the commissary and we found
it ample and of the best.
We then started out on an ex-
plora ton expedition. We found
Aitken village of about 1000 in
habitants. pleasantly situated on the
east or south bank of the Mississippi
river. The Northern Pacific rail-
road runs through the center of the
town and the 500 railroad passes
through the north end near the
river.
The End Division of Carr Post,
with the colors, Captain Titus in
command, arrived on the afternoon
train and were assigned quarters.
An impromptu camp. fire took place
at the pavilion in the evening. It
rained for about two hours during
the evening and left the streets in
fine condition for the parade which
took place the second day. Represent
i've Miller, of the eighth district, was
present Thursday and delivered an
eloquent address. The Dode Fisk
Show was in the town Thursday
and gave public exhibition.
At 2:30 p. m. Friday the business
meeting of the Encampment was
called to order by commander Harri,
son. The Encampment was voted
to Moose Lake for 1911. G.. w.
Shelton of the same place was
elected Commander. Senator M. E.
Clapp was present Friday and de-
livered very impressive address in
the evening.
The Odd Fellows Band of Ait
ken, the Morgan Drum Corps OF
Minneapolis and the Fife Drum
Corps of Staples made every thing
lively with their music during the
Encampment.
There is a warm place in our
hearts for Aitken and specially do
we feel thankful toward the ladies
of the Relief Corps and the Sons of
Veterans for doing so much to
make our visit one to be remem.

HOIST THE WHITE FLAG

Chinese Pirates Seek Truce to Re-
move Their Wounded.
Hongkong, July 16.-The pirates on
Colowan island hoisted a flag of truce
in order that they might remove their
wounded. '
The Chinese authorities have sent
ten gunboats and 1900 soldiers to the
scene from neighboring island so
that they may be ready to assist the
Portuguese soldiers, if necessary, in
discriminating the outlaws.
Several Chinese students have been
rescued after months~of captivity. It
was the Portuguese campaign to free
the students which brought about the
fighting. The hospital at Macao is
filled with wounded pirates and sol
diers. -

Resident Engineer Birdsell Started
Running Lines for Crossing
Yesterday Afternoon.
TWO MACHINES LAYING OVER
THREE MILES OF TRACK DAILY
One Working East From Plummer and
the Other West From
Moose Lake.

Resident Engineer Birdsell, of the
new 500 line going through here.
started to stake out the 500 bridge
over the Mississippi yesterday after
noon. AS the track laying machine
is expected through here in a little
more than month, work will have
to be started on the bridge within
q short time. The site was looked
over by Chief Engineer Thomas
Green when here the first of the
week.
Yesterday, the new track laying
machine which is wo rking east from
Plummer was two and a half miles
out of town. 1t has been working
little over two days and as soon
as the men have become more
accustomed to the work, will make
nearly two miles day. 1t will be
taken off the line after the crew
has laid about thirty-five miles of
track.
The machine working from
Moose Lake is now sixty miles out
Of the town and is averaging near
ly two miles per day. Better time
cannot be made as the men cannot
stand the heat. AT Its present
speed, it will take a little over
month to make the seventy miles
between it and Bemidji. This will
will bring it here about the first of
September if there is no delay.
George M. Huss, the engineer
of this division, has direct charge
Of the new line and also has charge
of two 500 lines on the Iron Range
that were built last year. He is
graduate of Cornell and has built
railroads for many years. He came
to the 500 from England where he
had been engaged for some time
in building an English railroad,
He has also built roads in Mexico
and built the one from Acre to
Damascus in the Holy land.
1t is the present plan of the 500
line to fill in the hollow at the end
on Beltrami and Minnesota avenues
at grade to where the telephone
poles stand on the north side. The
south side will be graded for as many
tracks as will be needed at once and
the rest filled in with whatever dirt
is left over. Trains will be running
here this fall, but through passenger
service from Winnipeg will not be
established until early next year.
Just at present, the 500 engineers
are planning to cut off in North
Dakota that will allow Canadian
freight and passengers to be shipped
direct to Chicago without having to
go through the congested yards of
the Twin Cities.
The Moose Lake Plummer line,
which is the one building through
Bemidji will be the direct line from
Winnipeg to Duluth and Chicago.
AS the Great Northern and the
Minnesota and International, a
branch of the Northern Pacific, 20
through Bemidji now, it will make
this city the distributing point for
all Canadian products for points
north and south of here.
The division point for this line has
been established at Federal Dam at
the head of Leech Lake. The
engineers would have placed it at
Bemidji, but it is the policy of the
road to make freight hauls as near
to one hundred miles long as possible,
and as the dam comes right in the
middle of the road, it was established
there.

RETAIN JUDGE LYONS

As the time draws near for the departure of Judge T. k, Lyons, the citizens of the Fourth Judicial district are beginning to realize how much the pres ence of the judge means to the Panama valley. Judge Lyons occupies an enviable place in the hearts of the people of this district. His integrity Is unqucs- toned, and the prompt manner in which he has dealt with the many cases that have come be fore him is a rebuke to his pre- dccessors and an example to those who may come after. His decisions have been universally approved, and even those who lost most by them admit the ab- sOIute impartiality of the judge. The Panama valley can ill-atford to lose a man of such calibre, and the Citizen knows that it is but voicing the opinion of the whole community when it re- spactfuIy asks Judge Lyons to reconsider his decision to leave us, and allow the people of this section to show their high ap- preciation of his moral worth and legal qualifications by peti- tioning for his retention here. Unless Judge Lyons expresses himself as willing to remain ii k useless for us to try to pre- vent his departure, but we are sure that if he realized the ab- Solute confidence which the peo- pie have in him he would hosi- tate no longer. The Citizen would suggest that a committee of representative citizens wait upon Judge Lyons; show him that the sentiment of the people is in favor of h,s retention here, and ask him to remain. We be lieVe he would.

TRAGEDY OF TIE SEA

Passengers from the Victoria tell about an impressive ceremony which took place during the voy- age, says the Cordova North Star of recent date, when the body ot q stoWaWay was buried at sea.
 The dead man was a young Ger man, and his brother was a passen- ger on tn. same ship. The latter did not know his brother was aboard until the body was found in the Coal-bunkers.
 As the brother had no funds 1t Was decided to bury the body at sea, but the vessel being then i'll Canadian waters it was not until several days later that the ceremony could be performed.
 Captain O'Brien read the burial service, and then led i'll the singing of an appropriate hymn. He has a fine voice, and the solemnity of the occasion with the throbbing engines and the view stretching away on all sides made deep impression on the group. The vessel then slowed down.
 The coffin was covered with the American flag, and six sailors, three on each side, raised one end and allowed the weighted body to slide gently into the sea.
 The group then broke up with the shadow of death still vividy impressed upon their minds,

H0NOAAIL FOR ALASKA

Valdez Prospector of April 12: William II. Moves is expected to arrive at Valdez at an early date, to begin construction on d monorail line from Valdez 10 the interior. The first section will run as far as Wortman, on Val dez trail, and if satisfactory the construction will be continued northWard.
 The Moves car is not on the gyrosope principle. The rail fits a groove in the car big enough to prevent OVerturning MT. Moves proposes to set it high enough above ground to avoid drifting snow, so that snow ploWS viii be unnecessary. Both rail and wheels can be made of wood.
 Mr. Moves is all eminent en- gineer and electrician and has been associated for many years with Edison.

THE LABOR VOTE

In almost Every community the labor v is the deciding element Fxsssctions. Whethe4 the vote be cast for a labor man or for a representative of one of the great parties, its factor which has to be recognized by every aspirant for congressional honors, whose election or defeat depends in a greatmeasure upon his attitude towards union labor. The Democratic party's policy in this direction was clearly de- fined in the party platform be- fore the presidential election, and legislation satisfactory to organized labor will be a feature of the next congress. Labor men in the Panama know well that the presence of a dema- g0gue like Vim. O'COnnor in the capitol would retard rather than aid such legislation so far as it applied to Alaska, and they are not likely to allow him the Op- portnnity of exhibiting himself in the role of a delegate. The news that Major Strong has sig nifed his willingness to run if he received the Democratic nOmin- ation, will, on the other hand, be heartily welcomed by local labor men. During the whole of the twelve years or more that he has been 6 resident of the North Major Strong has been a warm supporter of the trade-union movement, and has earned the trust and respect of the working men wherever he has been lOcat- ed. In Nome, in Juneau, in Katal- la, and in CordOva he is highly thought of by men of all shades of political opinion, and there is not the least doubt that or ganized labor will have a warm champion at Washington if Major Strong should receive the nomination and be successful at the polls. Given the nomina- ton his election should follow as a matter of course, for there is no man in the territory who has a cleaner record, or who is so fitted for the duties of del egate. He should certainly be
