installed extensive yards and build

the Brainerd- international Falls

In the neighborhood Of $50, 600

LEADERS ARE CROWDED IN
SOME OF THE DISTRICTS

Today Miss Ruth Wightman
Heads the List Of Candidates in
the Pioneers Mammoth Prize
Contest for the Ladies of the
Northland With. 1865 Votes.
The special ballot offer has be-
gan to bear fruit and not a few
of the candidates have received one
Those who have the head scores
seem to be among the lucky ones.
This is an evidence of the speedy
manner in which they have
worked and are still working.
What are you doing about this
special ballot offer of 1000 votes
as a bonus for five new six months
prepaid subscriptions to the Daily
Pioneer, one years subscriptions
to count as two for six months
and two years as four? This
offer stands open to all contes-
tants until next Saturday at 10

Inside and Out
side the City Are Pushing
to the Front and Votes Are
Piling Up in the Country
District.-The Contest is
Growing Keener as Time
Goes On.

Once more the airship men have
furnished inspiration to the candi-
dates in the Pioneers Mammoth
$4,000 Prize Contest. For the past
six months it has been the fashion
to poke fun at John Bull aud to joke
about the scare that the Germans
and French have thrown in" to
Great Britain. But along comes a
beef-eating Briton and out flies
them all at Rheims, while the Ger
man terror, the Zeppelin. failed in
its much footed trial trip. This
seems to bear out the saying that
the last shall be the first and the
first last.
So it may be with this contest.
You who are now back among the
tailenders may show up suddenly in
the race and distance all the other
contestants. Who knows? 1t all
rests with yourself.
The special bonus offer made by
the contest management should be
taken advantage of in this very
case. If you win this it will sweeten
your score that you will not be
satisfied until you get another of
these seductive ballots. Those who
have won one of these 1000 ballots
are all surprised at the ease with
which they get the five new six
months subscriptions. 1t was the
novelty of the thing thai evidently
Influenced the subscribers. It looks
as if it would make the candidate a
winner, and the average person likes
to be on the winning side, as it adds
little to his self-esteem and makes
him think himself farsighted and he
would be right in this case as the
winning of one or more of these
ballots would certainly be as the
miners say, when climbing the shaft
ladders "A mighty good shove up
behind"
How Do 700 Like Il?
How do you personally feel about
the special offer of 1000 votes in
return for five new six months SUBJ
scriptions to the Daily Pioneer, one
year to count two, and two years for
four six months subscriptions, good
until 10 o'clock tomorrow night?
Do you not find it a great help in
,obtaining votes? Does it not clinch

Marriage in Haste.

different from the Old Story.
An amusing incident occurred re-
Gently in connection with the elop-
ment and marriage of a prominent
financier's daughter.
The young couple had taken an
automobile and during the early
moving sped towards the Minister'S
house, but shortly after starting the
father discovered the flight and in
order to prevent the marriage tele-
phoned the police to stop the clippers,
he starting in pursuit with an
other car. But the police getting
the message mixed arrested the father
while the young couple sped on
their way to happiness.
The above incident is adequately
shown at the Majestic theater to-
night. ~

make the half promiser come to
time? This is the experience of all
the successful candidates, that have
already won on special ballot aud it
has inspired them to try to get
enough subscriptions to win a
second one. You can do the same
as these others have done. You
have the same chance. Dig up
people who will give you a SUBJ
scription. Do not be afraid. You
are breaking no law in asking a man
to subscribe for the paper and you
are not asking something for
nothing, MIND THAT. Fair
exchange is no robbery. If you put
up the price of an article in a store
you are not under any obligation to
the storekeeper nor is he to you, but
you are mutually benefited. It is
the same with subscription for the
Pioneer. The subscriber wants the
news and you give it to him and by
so doing you are privileged to
acquire so many votes which the
Pioneer gives you in the contest.
In some cases the element of per-
sonal regard comes in, in which case
you are the gamer yourself as
nothing is more to be priced on
earth as the good will of your
friends.

Weekly Review Of Trade and
Market Reports.

r. 9. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review
OF Trade says: Ps
mot in 4 dali decade has a year
opened with the business outlook SO
generally suspicious as the year
1910. Some of the per2lexing issues
which contributed to the crisis of
1907 still remain unsolved, while the
question Of high prices has become
more acute, but 1t would seem as
IL business confidence were not going
to permit these things to interfere
with the farther progress Of industry
and commerce.
THE optimism which usually pre-
walls at this season is this time APP
parently well supported by the facts
Of the economic situation. In ths
great iron and steel trade, which Is
80 basic. this spirit OF optimism is
particularly conspicuous.
Advances are made in heavy cot
ton goods this week. such as dpck
tickings, brown sheetings and some
other lines. Trading Is on a mod
crate sca-c, which is to be expected
in the first part of January but ship
ments of merchai lise on old orders

Bradstreet's says:
"The<yea opens with a perceptible
lull in trade, though with optimism
as the nnderlying element in all
tines. Severe cold weather and heavy
snow. sleet or transforms have check

immediate benefit to retail trade
in cities has accrued from the
stimulus given to demand for sea-

ing to the fact that statesmen as yet
are not fully in their fields of ac-
