Plain Business Suicide.

1t has not been many weeks since
the business men of Bemidji sub
scribed $4,000 in bonds to get the
box factory to locate here and bring;
in an industry which will employ
about sixty men. 1t has been the
steady effort of the Commercial club
for some time past to. secure for Be-
midi, industries that will furnish
employment for many people. By so
doing, they not only build up 'Bemid-
il but the surrounding country; with
no market in Bemidji the farmers
have trouble in disposing of: their
produce. .-.,
Now comes the board of equaliza-
ton and by raising the assessment of
one company out of all proportion to
other business concerns, threatens to
drive out of Bemidji and Beltrami
county, the biggest single business
here today. Of what avail is it to
use every inducement possible to
bring in an industry employing six
ty hands and then drive out by ex-
cessive. taxation, one already here
and employing 800 hands? 1t is plain
business suicide
If the assessment on personal
property of the Crookston Lumber
company of $387,2O0 appeared to the
Pioneer to be correct, it would not
advocate reduction in taxes simply
to bride the company to stay in Be-
midi. But it is uncomfortable that
any one company in the county, and
especially the Crookston mill which
is located here in Bemidji where it
is familiar to all, should be consid-
cred so large that it must pay one
third of all the countys personal
property taxes.
1t is a matter of common knowl-
edge in Bemidji, and throughout the
county, that the Crookston mill is
one of the largest in this part of the
state; but it is also a matter of COM
mon knowledge that one-third of the
personal property of this county is
not tied up in one concern.
People who are in touch with the
situation will not blame the Crook
ston Lumber company in the least if
it fights through the courts to keep
from being imposed upon. But these
same people realize that it will be q
severe blow to business in Bemidji,
and this will be reflected in other
county towns. It will deprive the
county of many thousands of dollars
when they are needed the most, and
it will cause financial embarrassment
to the Bemidji school board.
From all points of view, justice,
business, the farmer, the mill labor
er and the school children, the as
sessment should not stand.

TO PALE, THIN PEOPLE
Druggist At the Quaker Drug Co.
OGcr To Pay for Samosc If IL
Does Not Make Thin Pco-
pie fat.

Pale, thin people are simply suf-
mering from want of nourishment.
They may eat, but their food is not
properly dgested and does them no
good.
Samose. the remarkable flesh form
ing food should be used by all who are
weak and thin. 1t mingles with the
food and aids assimilation. so that
when taken for a short time, Nature
will soon assert her normal powers.
and the food that Is oHten will give
strength and good flesh.
The woman who longs for rosy
cheeks and the plumpness of beauty
should use Samose. The man who
wants to be strong and well and gain
health and good flesh will find his
desires accomplished by Samose.
Such remarkable results have fol-
lowed the use of Samose that Drug
gist at the Quaker Drug company is
willing to pay for the treatment If 1t
does not give the desired results. They
make this offer generally and want
all who are thin, weak and out of
health to get box OF Samose from
them on those terms.

As Soon As POSSIBLE.
SCHOOL BOARD DECLARES QUICK
ACTION NEEDED 70 COMPLETE
BUILDINGS BY FALL.

Contrary to expectation, the school
board in regular session last night did
not set a date for the proposed bond
election to build new school buildings
and buy additional grounds. The
matter was discussed, but 1t was de-
Cided to make an attempt to arrange
a suitable date before official action
was taken. 1t has been suggested
that the election be held in conjunc.
tion with the city primaries on March
IS, but the members Of the board
are inclined to believe that this date
is too distant, and that by the time the
bonds We're sold and the contract let
for the erection of the buildings. fol-
lowing a favorable election on that
date, the contractors would not have
enough time in which to finish the
buildings by the time the September
school term begins. 1t is desired to
hold the el&tion some time this
month and it is highly probable that
Mayor Martin will be asked to issue
q call for it some tEne this Week.
The board spent most of the even
ing in attending to minor business
matters and several hundred dollars
worth of bills were allowed.
The gas bills for the various build
ings for the month Of January were
allowed with the exception of Cen
tral school. The gas bill at this build
ing was rendered at $193, which was
considered excessive by the board, and
a committee was appointed to accom-
pany representative Of the gas COM
pany and re-read the meter at Central
building in an endeaVor to discover
a possible discrepancy. This Is the
largest monthly gas bill the board
has ever been presented with for one
building.
superintendent Downing was au-
thoriZed to select a delegation OF
teachers ana attend the teachers con-
vention at Wagner on February %

Tulsa has ever been represented at

number.
AS a reward of merit and eXcep-
tionally good work, Prof +. j. Katz,
principal of the high school for sew
eral years past was given raise in
salary of from 1880 year to $1,000
a year, effective at the beginning OF
the present semester. Prof Katz was
praised in the highest terms BY MEM
bers of the board.

OIL takes JUMP To
60 Cents A BARREL
AN ADVANCE OF THREE CENTS
YESTERDAY Is FOURTH OF
YEAR OF 1912.

Seventy-five cent oil before July
is the prediction Of well informed oil
men, as a result of yesterdays three
cent advance in the price of crude,
posted by the Prairie oil and Gas
company when the market opened
yesterday and quickly followed by the
other pipe line companies. The price
Of oklahoma crude has invariably
been following the trend Of eastern
oil, and when the price of eastern
grades is raised an advance is also
made here shortly afterwards. This
going up last week, so the jump hero
was not unexpected.
The theory is advanced by many
that the dissolution of the Standard
Oil company with the attendant high
er cost of operations through many
smaller companies is partly respon-
sibe for the jump but the daily pipe
line runs showing the heavy with
drawal from tankage show the real
reason for the raise.
The facts are that the consumption
is greater than the production and in
order to encourage production the
pipe lines are raising the price Of
oil.
With sixA cent oil a reality, wells
that formerly, that is, two years ego,
were not profitable, have now become
paying things.

night that he expected to see okla

With the opening of yesterdays >
market a three cent advance was post
ed, making the price now for okla
homa crude sixty cents. The advance
was anticipated since the recent ad-
vance in Pennsylvania, Illinois also
having advanced three cents Satur-
day. The price now is a trifle over
twice as much as the low point reach
ed during the flush times, some oil
having been sold at 20 cents, One OF
the eastern operators who Is in Tulsa
and who Is the owner OF both Penn
sylvania, Ohio and oklahoma pro-
duction, says that the advance OF ten
cents since Christmas is fully equal
to the 25 cent advance in Pennsyl-
vania, taking into consideration the
difference in the cost Of production
That the price will continue to ad-
vance will bring out "A lot of oil which
has heretofore been kept either in
storage or in pipe lines. Seventy
five cents is the price anticipated for
Oklahoma crude in short time.
