HARRIS BROTHER BROWNS
Bemidji Man Off for Portland, Moth.
er Being Seriously Affected BY
Sons Disappearance.
BROKEN RAFT TELLS OF DEATH

That Charles Harris, brother of J.
0. Harris, register of deeds of Beltra-
mi county, perished mysteriously
with his companion, Henry McCor-
mac, on the Clearwater river in Brit
ish Columbia, far from any human
habitation, is the conclusion of those
who have searched in vain for the
men who have been missing since
September 20. ~-..- =: -..
A telegram received by Mr.. Har-
ris here this morning from his broth
er-in-law, P. Stennick of Portland,
Oregon, reads:
Sure He Was Drowned.
Searching party has returned
from along the Clearwater and found
where the boys built raft and seven
miles below found pieces of the raft
scattered along the shore, but no
trace of bodies or their packs. Am
satisfied that both were drowned. Am
worried for your mother for she may
not survice the shock
In response to this telegram Mr..
Harris leaves Bemidji tonight for
Portland to lend what comfort he can
to his mother and sister who live in
that city. From there he will con-
tinue on into British Columbia in a
renewed effort to find more positive
trace of his lost brother, whom, he
believes, must have drowned.
Strangely Disappears.
At the time of his disappearance,
Charles Harris was out on cruising
trip through British Columbia. With
McCormac he left Kamloops on the
Canadian Pacific and with six pack
horses and two Indians started north
along the Clearwater. After a months
work they were forced to set out af-
ter supplies, 35 or 40 miles down
the river. ~ -'."., .-~.. 49,. =
| From the time the two men start
ed on this trip nothing was heard of
them. They did not reach the fort
they had hoped to get their supplies.
Cruisers with whom they were
working became suspicious and noti-
fed the missing mans relatives in
Portland and a searching party at
once was organized with the result
as shown by the telegram printed
above " IT.

Southern Senators With Us.

The Pioneer today is in a position
to say that such is not true for
it has in it's possession written COM
munications from southern senators
who voted against the Congdon bill
pledging themselves to vote for re-
apportionment measure fair to the
North.
Perhaps as remarkable a communi-
cation as has been received by this
newspaper since it suggested the cal
ling of an extra session this winter,
is the following from A. O.. .Lende,
who made a long and eloquent plea
against the passage of the Congdon
bill, whose district is the extreme
southwestern part of the state and
who has been pointed to as an op-
ponent to eapportionment:
Lende Pessimistic But Friendly.
editor Pioneer: How can you ex-
pect fair reapportionment at the
hands of this legislature which was
so generous last winter as to confer
upon the whole Northwestern part
of the state an additional represen-
tation of one-half of one senator? Be-
ing treated that way in the regular
session you still ask for an extra ses-
sion to reconsider, at the hands of
these same men, another bill to deal
justly by you. If you think that you
can get justice from these same men
who dealt with you so unjustly in
the regular session then you have
more faith in mankind than l have.
l am frank to say that I shall gladly
vote for reapportionment bill which
in my Judgment gives you square
deal.
''Very truly yours,
20. A. Lende"

When the Congdon bill, the only
reapportionment measure considered
by the senate, was up last winter SO
senators voted against it.
AS at present made up, 80 votes
are necessary to pass bill in the
senate.
1t has been said that the present
legislature if reconvened in extra
session would do the same thing it
did last winter-kill reapportion-
ment.

TO CONTINUE CREAMERY {, E
At Meeting Saturday, Feeling Pre-
walls That Institution Must Not
Close This Winter.
TO SUPPLY DEMAND FORBUTTER

~7 . e "r 4 Is, 4 80 .
Although creameries in other
towns are closing for the winter and
although the Bemidji creamery has
been in operation only since July,
the farmers behind the enterprise as
the result of meeting here Satur-
day. will keep the creamery here
running throughout the winter. -
Because of the falling off in the
amount of cream offered to the local
institution, it was feared that posi-
bly, the institution should have to
close down during the cold months,
and as a result call was issued for
a gathering to be held at the City
Hall on Saturday.
I'VE Need It." Says President.
. Several representative farmers
were present and it was the unanim-
Gus decision that the creamery
should be kept open. A. o. Rako
president of the creamery associa-
ton, presided. He said:
eff the creamery closes now it will
lose it's present patrons. All the
work which has been done up to
this time will have been useless. The
creamery will do much toward keep
ing the country alive. We need it,"
Manager F. M. Pendergast told of
the efforts to get the cream in and
he, too, believed the thing to do was
to arouse new interest and keep the
plant going. @i
.. To Sell Butter to All.
1t was decided that Buttermaker
Jones be continued in his present
position and the feeling predomi-
mated that with the indoor feeding
of the COWS the supply of cream
would again be Increased and that
by the first of the year that they
will be the largest yet. -, c@
A special effort from now is to be
made to supply the demand for
creamery butter. Up until now the
demand has more than exceeded the
supply. @ +
An active campaign to interest all
farmers in the creamery and to show
them how the institution will prove
lasting benefit to them will be
waged. The meeting adjourned with
all present much encouraged.

turned round and tried to pin me to

When | entered the car l knew the
elephant was cross and should have
kept my face toward him. Instead OF
doing so | turned round to look at
something, and at that moment the
brute went for me. He tried to pin
me to the wall, but fortunately for me
his tusks were too wide apart for him
to properly grip me. The tusks just
graZed my skin ON each side of my
back. One Of my men rushed to tie
rescue and pulled me down between
the animals head and the wall. They
then stood me on my feet to see If
my back was broken. With the ex-
ception of torn clothing and a grazed
skin was all right.-Wide World.
