TO HAVE CASH MARKET
Gamble Robinson Co. an Onion Grow
ers' Association Prepare to Pur-
chase Crops of Farmers.
MUST BE OF LIKE VARIETIES

That the farmers will have a cash
market for their potatoes as we'll as
other root vegetables, now seems to
be certainty, and that the market
will be open for business when the
crops are ready in the fall is also
practically assured.
F. G. Halgren, local manager of the
Gamble-Robinson company, believes
this arrangement can be satisfactory
ly effected with his company, and this
without a special storage warehouse.
If the farmers will grow like var
cities of potatoes, so that shipments
can be made in car lots, this cem-
pany will make every effort to handle
the entire crops raised in this VIC
Unity, and ship them out to foreign
markets as fast as, they are brought
in. The farmer will get the cash
market price for his potatoes in this
way and will not be compelled to
trade for them.
The Bemidji Onion Growers asso-
citation, which made such a tremen-
dous success of all root vegetables,
potatoes excepted) last year, will be
in far better shape this season to
handle the crops than last year.
Manager John Lunn is in touch with
the best markets in the country and
will be in position to secure the
best prices at all times. III
This association has already estab-
ished reputation for standardized
vegetables. 1t grades everything
that comes into it's care, and sells
according to grade. It will pay the
farmers to grade their vegetables at
home and then bring them to this
associations warehouse in such
shape so that they will be graded

Gives ployment to $50 Men,
:: Monthly Pay Roll of $4,000.
RECORD TIME IN CONSTRUCTION

Work on the construction of the
new Bemidji mill of the Crookston
Lumber company, was begun
on March II, it being on that day
that the first piling was driven, on
next Saturday the 100000 estab-
lishment will be ready for work and
on Monday morning at O'Clock the
cutting will begin, this is the record
made by Andy Larson, who suterin-
tended the building. 90, -
The mill has been constructed in
less than three months, and men
most familiar with the work claim
it is one of the most substantial lum-
Der manufacturing establishments in
the northwest: Mr.. Larson, who has
had charge of the Crookston mill for
eight years, and who is considered
an authority on mill construction,
has had one hundred men working
on its erection and while he has
pushed the work that cutting might
begin Monday as originally planned,
the new plant Dis modern in every de-
tail and capable of turning out an
annual cut of about 100000 feet,
the same as the mill which was
destroyed by fire ..... =.
Two band saws and resaw have
been installed and with the excep-
ton of the latter, everything will be
in readiness for the saving of the
first log next Saturday, which is the
date selected for the initial trial.
Three hundred and fifty men will
be given employment at the Bemidji
mill, calling for a monthly pay roll
of approximately $4,000. 4z

steamed out of her berth.
Backing out under her own steam

GRAIN INSPECTION
SYSTEM MAKES GOOD.
Is Example of Service Under Contra
dictory Plan and Meets With APP
prevail of State Efficiency Board
BOARD OF APPEALS FAVORED
Logical Program Recommended If
Starting Over Legislature Would
Assign Routine Inspection.

St. Paul, May 27.-(Special to The
Pioneer. )-Grain inspection in Min
nesota is fine example of good serv-
ice under contradictory system.
From the very beginning inspection
has been attached to the railroad
and warehouse commission. The
commission was for time appointed
by the governor but more recently
has been elective. The legislature
in it's wisdom decided that that office
should be Independent of the execu-
tive department.
. But because there was some COM
plant of the inspection-there al
ways has been been and there always
will be one-the legislature decided
to create q board of grain appeals
independent of the commission. So
the board of grain appeals is appoint
ed by the governor. AS though the
legislature decided that the commits
sion should he elected SO that the
people might have entire confidence
in officers of their own choosing and
then decided that the appeal board
should be appointed by the governor,
so that the people might have conf
dence in a body appointed by an Of
ticer of their own choosing.
The inspectors are under civil ser
vice regulation. This is an ar
rangement the railroad and ware
house commission got up of it's own
notion. After a man has been in
the service as car inspector, he IS
promoted to be sampler and after he
learns the business in that way, an
opportunity is given him to pass an
examination for grain inspection.
Now the members of the board of
grain appeals do not pass through
any such test. Whether it ever did
happen or not, it might happen for
all anyone knows to the contrary,
that a member of this appeal board
wouldn't know the difference between
barley and oats. And yet the sYs1
tenn has worked we'll.
If it was to be started now prob
ably no one would dream of organ
izing it in this way. The railroad
and warehouse commission has du-
ties that are essentially legislative
or judicial. The inspection of grain
is essentially the work of an execu-
tive officer. The board of grain ap-
peals has duties essentially judicial
and legislative. It establishes the
grades and it reviews the grading.
If the legislature was starting with
a clean sheet, it would undoubtedly
assign the routine inspection to an
executive department and the legis-
lative duty of establishing grades
along with the judicial duty of pass
ing on appeals to non-executive
board. That would be logical.
The efficiency commission recon-
mends the logical program. Under
this plan the executive work will he
handled by the executive officers as
a branch of labor and commerce, and
the judicial duty will be attached to
the jurisdiction of the railroad and
warehouse commission.

day. -. 8; 81 -, -

Confident of Nomination.
Mr.. Lindbergh is confident that he
will be re-nominated at the June pri-
maries, believing that his accom-
plishme,ats are deserving of another
term. On Saturday he will deliver
a Memorial day address at Aitkin,
and the day following will leave for

Shows Interest in Beltrami.
Not for twelve years has Mr.. Lind
bergh been in Bemidji, and this
morning he was surprised to see the
rapid manner in which the city has
advanced and prospered. Congress-
man aLindbergh realizes the oppor-
tunities which: are offered here, and
the legislation which is most needed
to assist in the continual progress
Of this territory. He is an urgent
supporter of good roads, which are
absolutely necessary for the proper
marketing of farm products, and of
drainage. ~ s1-
- Has Fulfilled Duties.
During his term in congress Mr..
'Lindbergh has been recognized as an
efficient and capable law maker. His
work on national problems has been
done without neglect of local de-
Smands: He:has assisted veterans,
and community, : citizen or
party who had just claims to make in
Washingto attending to all mat
ters promptly. He has always been
an enemy of the special interests and
special favors and repeatedly has he
been the cause of legislation which
has been to their dislike, and for
which they would willingly see him
busted from congress.
