FIFTEEN ASK STATE
TEACHERS PENSIONS

Fifteen applications for annuities
under the new statute creating state
teachers insurance and retirement
fund were considered at the first
meeting of the board of trustees
Tuesday at the state capitol. The
trustees are Dr. G.. c. Schulz, state
superintendent of education, Lyndon
A. Smith, attorney general, and J. A.
O. Preus, state auditor, but two adj
ditional members will be elected at
the annual meeting of the Minnesota
Educational association. With about
$4,000 public school teachers in the
state outside of the three cities of
the first class the trustees realize
that they will have a big task before
them to establish the retirement
fund. All teachers receiving appoint
ment for the coming school year and
after are required to become assO-
ciated with the fund and to pay the
assessments which will range from SIS
to $40 a year. The state will con-
tribute the revenue from a tax levy
of one-twentieth of mill. The an
nuities will range from $3.50 to $500.

"DRYS" WIN K0OCHICHING
Country Precincts Cut Down Big Ma
jority of Town Vote and 'Wets"
Are Defeated by 81 Votes.
VICTORY CONCEDED, SAYS LANG

With practically every precinct of
the country districts registering ma
jorities in favor of the "drys," Koo-
chiching county's "wet" lead of yes
terday has been wiped away and the
prohibitionists are conceded victory
by the small total of 81 votes.
At noon yesterday the "drys" ap-
peared to have lost the race, which
had been bitterly fought during the
entire campaign. But during the
afternoon the country returns began
to arrive and the 800 early majority
was steadily decreased until this
morning the "drys" were found to
have a majority of but FL votes
when the last precinct, Norden, cast
ing SO wet and two wet, was heard
from. @----- - - -s'---7- - = ~1-~~4~-@"F So

sage to the Pioneer this afternoon,

VETS concede that they have been
defeated. I do not believe that the
official canvass will result in any
change"
L. w. Wilson, who has taken an
active part in the fight to retain sa-
looms, congratulated George Watson,
at one time of Bemidji, and "dry"
leader, this afternoon on the victory.
About 1890 votes were cast, this
being a larger number than that
registered for governor last fall.
Another. remarkable fact was that
the "Falls' more than doubled it's ma
jority for the vets, 131 majority go
ing to that faction in the spring elec-
ton and 263 Tuesday. Last spring
the Third ward went dry two to one.
Tuesday, with only six more votes
cast, the vets came out with four
majority. Last spring the Second

it went wet 181 to "a.

BEMIDJI HAS ENTERPRISE
Olin D. Wheeler, Editor of "The First
Methodist" After Spending Day
Here, Praises Beauty Of City.
SAYS BIRCHMONT HOTEL DANDY

DIN D. Wheeler, editor of "The
First Methodist" published in st.
Paul, recently spent Sabbath in Be-
midi, and in the current issue of his
publication he makes the following
complimentary comment concerning
this city and surroundings:
II was more than ever impressed
with the fact that Minnesota cannot
be beat in it's own peculiar field Of
out-of-do recreation. We have no
Yellowstone, Yosemite, Grand Can
yon, etc., but we have the most beau-
tiful prairies, streams, woods, lakes
and many mighty good outing re-
sorts. The Bemidji lake is six miles
long, by two by three wide-an ex-
pansion of our own Mississippi river.
There are dozens of-other lakes there
about, beautiful drives, fine forests,
a good country and splendid fishing.
1.-The Mississippi, from the lake
outlet to the power dam twelve miles
below, affords one of the most unique
and enjoyable river trips in the coun-
try. The town is enterprising and
has concrete paved streets and side
walks and one of the best hotels in
the state. A new outing hotel at
Birchmont Beach on the lake shore,
is, in slang phrase, dandy" and no
mistake. The beach is particularly
good and it is all fresh and new. Our
church there is a credit to our de-
nomination.
"Bemidji is but one of hundreds of
beautiful lakes and outing spots in
Northern Minnesota. And more and
more the out-of-state people are
learning of this and are coming and
camping, and buying and building
summer cottages on their shores.
1--WE have a great state in more
ways than one and we may we'll be
proud of it,"
