fair of Last Evening.


A larger or more enjoyable dance
than that given by The Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen. was never held
in Bemidji. More than three hun
dred couples crowded the City hall,
which had been elaborately decor
ated for the occasion, red, white and
green, the trainmen colors being used.
Electric bells were placed at various
places throughout the hall and were
played during several of the dances
by Robert Larson, the trap-drummer.
The music, furnished by Long Broth
sers Union orchestra, was fine. Light
refreshments were served during the
evening. Similar affairs are given
by the local order every year, and are
proving most enjoyable social func-
ftions.s J. Carter, Roy Rice and Dan
O'Conner planned the dance, and are
largely responsible for its success.

lay plans for the working out Of de-

cessity of more stock for the farmers
is becoming more and more promin-
ent each day. He said that the
bankers should take added interest
nZthis matter, not for the conyefl-
ience of the farmers only, but for
the reason that the faster, Beltrami,

the lack OF cooperation on the part
of the bankers, and urged them to
institute some method whereby they

Anderson--Has Taken Possession
IS CONSIDERED EXPERT BAKER

After an absence Of three years,
w; A. Gray has returned to Bemidji
and yesterday completed transac-
tion whereby he becomes the propri-
etor of the Home Bakery, owned and
operated by him for three years be-
fore his departure for Wheaton
where he has since been engaged in
a similar business. II
Three years ago Mr.. Gray sold the
bakery to- George Anderson, who has
been in charge since that time, at all
times equaling the high standard es-
tablished by Mr. Gray. It is the in
tention of Mr.. Grayto operate first
class bakery In every Wy and as lie
is considered an expert baker and
one who thoroughly understands the
business, it is believed that he, will
be successful. / - 8.
In speaking of his leaving Whea-
ton, the Gazette-Reporter says:
"Mr. Gray has been proprietor of
the Home Bakery sof: this city during
his residence here and he has con-
Quoted a first class bakery and one
that would have been credit to a
much larger city, and as a result he
enjoyed a steadily increasing patron
age We believe we voice the senti-
ment of the people in general when
we say his departure is regretted, but
our loss will be Bemidji's gain and
they will find Mr.. Gray pleasant
and accommodating gentleman and
a capable baker," :" "
Mr.. Anderson will = continue = to
make his residence in this city. He
has been resident of Bemidji for
about twelve years, during which
time he spent several years with the
crookston Lumber company, direct

Of lumber while doing the yard piling
under contract. He also owned the
Bemidji Ice company until selling to
Smart & Getchell. Mr.. Anderson

business entirely in the future.

London, Jan. 2.-After five months
OF hostility in the great war the land
hshting both in the eastern and the
western arenas is going on without
decisive result for either side. There
has been no material letup with the
advent of severe winter weather in
the determination and severity of en-
counters.
In Poland there are today active
hostilities between Germans and Rus
SLAMS on cne front from the Lower
V1stula to the Pilica river, and be-
tween German-Austria and Russian
troops from the Pilica river to the
Upper Vistula river. In the western
theater from the sea to the Swiss
frontier there are almost continuous
exchanges of artillery fire or infantry
charges against trenches, followed by
desperate counter attacks.
The latest official communication
says no important fighting occurred
during the day on the left bank OF
the Vistula river, but between this
stream and the Pilica river the Rus.
slams repulsed day and night attacks
made by the Germans to the south OF
the road from Bolimow to Mednevice.
10 the north of the River Rawka a
German offensive was repulsed by a
counter attack.
German Column Disner.ad
Near Jesergatz, east of the Pilica
river, German column attempting
night attack was dispersed. To the
east of Tomaszow the German often
s1ve has shifted in the direction OF
Opoczno, where the Russians say Ger
man attacks were repulsed. Opoczno
is several miles east of points men,
toned in Russian statements as the
scene of fighting last week, indicating
the German center in Poland has
made some gains.
The French official statement, refer
ring to the situation in the western
theater OF the war, says from the sea
to Rheims there was hardly anything
more than artillery engagements. The
Germans bombarded, without result,
the village of st. George, recently oc-
cupied by the allies. French aviators
have, made night. attacks on the ra1i-
way stations at Metz and at Arnavi.le.
Further progress, marked by feet, is
reported in Steinbach, Upper Alsace
French artillery fire, according to
the statement, gained advantages be-
tween La Bassee and Carency, be-
tween Albert and Roye, in the region
of Verneetil, and in theneighborhood
Of Blanc Sablon.
