MAYOR PARKER TALKS
Discusses Future Welfare of City of
Bemidji

l have made it a point to bring all
factions in as close touch with one
another as possible and l Will venture
to say there was never a time in the
history of Bemidji that there was as
little factional strife as there has
been in the past year and our NUM-
cipal affairs have been carried on
strictly harmonious and 1 only regret
that our city affairs are trying to be
thrown into party lines, which is one
of the first and main objects of the
Commission form of government, to
get your municipal affairs out of par
ty politics, and I only hope we may
go along as harmonious as in the past
year and all pull together which will
be one of the best things that ever
happened our city.
The secret of success is to be ready
when the opportunity comes.
Our opportunity is now here to
make Bemidji the recognized center
for distribution for all material for
this great northwest.
Much will come to us naturally
but we must also make an individual
effort to get that which will only
come in pulling together and in har-
mony with one another.
The more agreeable we are the
more can be accomplished.
All the larger questions of the
county today are being settled more
amicable every year.
Capital realizes that it must have
the best quality of labor obtainable
and is willing to pay for it.
Labor also realizes this and it is
one of the main objects of good
unionism, to deliver the best quality
of labor obtainable.
Their interests are and should
continue to be identical.
Our interests in the welfare of
our city are all Identical and for this
reason we should all work and pull
| together for the best interests of the
| best city in Northern Minnesota.
| (Signed) &c. PARKER.

THROUGH THE CLOUDS

Judge Grey wins out. Through
the Clouds" is the title of the first
picture shown at the Majestic thea
tire, and is very interesting from
start to finish, showing a fair repre-
sentation of American politics. The
most interesting part of this picture
is the fight of an aeroplane which
everybody delights to see.
sEfecting a Cure" the second pic
ture, is one of those good old comedie;
that make everyone feel good and
hold their sides with laughter. These
pictures will be shown tonight for
the last time.

MAY APPOINT McCLENAHAN
Urge Governor Eberhart to Name
Him Supreme Court Judge.

Advices from Brainerd today are
that all of the attorneys of Grow
Wing county have joined in petit
ton to Governor Eberhart to ap-
point Judge McClenahan of this
judicial district to the place on the
supreme bench made vacant by the
death Of E. A. Jaggard. Every at
torney of this judicial district will
doubtless add his name to the pet;-
Among the many eminent jurists
and able attorneys of the state, 1t is
not probable that there is one who
would fill this vacancy more credit
ably than Judge McClenahan.

CRooksToM CRAFT CHARGES
President Of Council Says There Is
Rottenness Somewhere.

There was dress rehearsal of Bull
Run in~the city council chambers of
Crookston Tuesday night when Presi-
dent Husey took the floor and made
sweeping charges that Crookston was
reputed to have disorderly houses on
every corner and that someone was
getting graft. He declared that Chief
of Police Dreamer, Captain Eek and
some of the patrolmen had been told
of the conditions, and replied they
received no orders.
President Husey said: Someone
is getting a fat graft and that the
money should come into the Golfers of
the city through the municipal court.
He also said that young man who
had received a legacy had been
squandering it in riotous living at
these places and in gambling. The
young mans name was not given.
Mayor McKinnon was purple with
anger and denied the charges in a
heated address.
Alderman Christensen, Snyder and
Harris were named as committee to
conduct an investigation and report.
The affair has created great excite
ment.
After the meeting of the council
several city officials made a raid on
the Columbia Hotel and discovered
four young men of the city and O.
Osmonson of Fertile in the place with
as many girls who had been serving
beer and were sitting on their laps.
| Grace Campbell, who runs the ho-
tel, was arrested charged with sell
ing beer without a license.

Will Be Presented By Thief River
Falls Man, But Probably Can't
Pass Senate.
FIRE REPORTS ARE PLANNED
Kerry Conley Would Have All Blazes
Investigated and Reported to
State Marshall.
(By z. A. Wi1son)
Bemidji Pioneer Legislative Bureau

Bsmidji Pioneer Legislative Bureau
st. Paul, Feb. LIT now seems
likely that the old normal school con-
troversy will be revived at the pres
ent session of the legislature. Rep
resentative D. P. O'Neil Of Thief
River Falls has been requested to in
troduce a normal school bill.
''The bill is being prepared" said
Mr.. c'Neii, "and will be introduced
at the present session."
1t is not likely that such a measure
can pass the senate although Mr..
O'Neil probably would be able to get
1t through the house.
The house played joke on Rep
resentative O'Neil yesterday. Mr..
O'Neil put in bill regulating the
mayors contingent fund, whereupon
Representative Orr introduced the
following resolution:
whereas, several members of the
legislature attended the Republican
Lincoln club banquet at the Mer-
chants hotel last evening and where
as, the Honorable Mayor Keller was
among the principal speakers Of the
evening, and all members were royal
" entertained, and whereas, there
appears in the records of today a
new house bill introduced by D. P.
O'Neill of the new Pennington coun-
ty, providing for a mayors contin-
gent fund in cities;
Be it resolved that the Speaker ap-
point a committee to investigate in
to the conduct of the gentleman from
Pennington, also why the aforesaid
gentleman should be interested in
mayors contingent funds and report
to this House it's finding immedi-
ately."
The resolution was unanimously
adopted. Representative O'Neill
joined in the laugh which followed.
Kerry Conley, representative from
Rochester, has bill for the appoint
ment of state fire marshall and two
assistants. The measure calls upon
the mayors, presidents of village
councils, clerks of town boards to re-
port all fires to the state fire mar
shall where the loss is more than
$50. Investigation is to be made
within two days after fire and the
report sent within weeks time.
Fire chiefs who do not receive more
than $50 a year compensation are to
be given 81 for each fire reported.

The Lord has been good to Hop
kinsville this year. He has likewise
been good to the farmers who have
tobacco to sell.
The rains of last week brought
tobacco in season and as no tobacco
is received on Saturday the farmers
had Saturday-and perhaps some of
them included Sunday-for loading
the wagons, with the result that the
caravan began to arrive by daylight
Monday morning. H.
There has seldom been such Push
seen in the tobacco market of Hop
kinsville. At the loose floor of r
E. Cooper & Co. $50 wagons were
unloaded during the day and So were
stored for the night that could not
be unloaded. The four other loose
floors. with less room, were just as
busy and it is estimated that 500
loads of 1000 lbs each on an average
were received in all, making a mil
lion pounds Tuesday was another
great day and despite the rain yes
terday scores of loads were brought
in, Some who took a desperate
chance on the weather were unpre-

wet before reaching town and the

A careful estimate puts the loose
floor receipts in three days at $780,

This takes no account Of the heavy

been bought privately. Long rows
Of wagons have waited their turn
before each Of these and another

these deliveries. swelling the golden
stream $50. 600 more.
The ability of the city to provide
accommodations for man and beast
has been taxed to the utmost. Many
have secured shelter with the great
est difficulty and on clear nights
scores of wagons were left in the
streets with their loads while the
drivers slept in, livery stables or
wherever they could get any sort of
accommodations.
The boarding houses are doing a
land Office business and the mer-
chants are having the greatest holi-
day trade of their lives.
And it had to go and rain.
