SOLDIERS BONUS BILL
NOW LAW: BURN0UlST
SIGNS THE MEASURE
Twenty Million Voted to Pay
State Men and Women
War Bonus

|: St. Paul. Mimi, Sept. 24.-The SOL
diers' bonus bill in which the state
|.legislatures.v voted $2O,OOO,OOO to pay
gratuities Of SIS to Minnesota men
and women for each month Of serv-
ice in the world war, has become a
law. The state bonus board is to
meet to effect a staff organization and
prepare application forms which may
be ready for distribution in ten days.
When actual payments may start
probably will depend upon the period
necessary to sell certificates of in
debtedness, probably from sixty to
ninety days, according to the Off
cialS.
Governor BurnQuist officially sign
ed the bill before cameras that rec
orded the historic event and julius
A. Schmahl, secretary of state, i'm
mediately made out the official filing
Harrison Fuller. St. Paul, chairman
Of the Minnesota branch OF the
American Legion was presented with
the pen used to sign the bill and 1t
will be treasured by the organization
as all Interesting keepsake.
Secretary Schmahl then pocketed
the law with the explanations: ut
would be Chapter No. 13 If filed now,
so that there may be no possibility
of jinx for this law, some other
will have to take that number"
Those in Picture.
With Governor Burnquist, Secre-
tary ,Schmahl and Chairman Fuller in
the pictures were George G. Chapin,
St. Paul, temporary secretary Of the
state legion, Horace c. Whitemore,
Minneapolis, now the state secretary,
DR.. A. A. Van Dyke, St. Paul, chair
man of the legion committee on leg
islation, and one of Minnsota's most
distinguished service men.
Scores Of returned soldiers who
went to the capitol to collect bonus
claims were disappointed. They were
told that in two or three weeks their
formal application will be received
but that payments will not be made
before November. Inc bonus board
made up of State Auditor J. A. o.
Preus, State Treasurer Henry Rines
and Adjt.-Gen. W. F. Rhinow, plans
to perfect its initial office organiza-
ton and to draw forms for applica-
tion and other blanks. Another
meeting will be called later to con-
slider the most promising method OF
selling certificates to advantage.

Only One of Its Calibre II
This Part of the State;
~
Modern in Detail t4}E
IMPORTANCE TO BUSINESS
CIRCLES MARKED FACTOR
New Structure Double in Ca.
.~ pacity of Old Familiar
Landmark That Burned

Bemidji is given to sounding her
advantages and also in glowing terms
telling what she possesses in the way
Of modern improvements, industries
and business interests, but few seem
to be aware of the fact that the Bell
trami Elevator & Milling company's
splendid plant is the only one of its
calibre in this jobbing center of Min
nesota and one Of the most modern
in the entire state. r. ;
The old elevator, with it's familiar
red coat was one of the pioneers OF
the city and when destroyed by fire,
the city missed fimiliar land mark.
No time was lost, however, in re-
building and when completed the
capacity was much greater and the
equipment had been largely augment
ed for handling the business with dis
patch.
Elevator Double Capacity. T.
The warehouse occupies ground
space 5Oxl58 and the elevator is
36x36 feet with q height of 81 1-2
feet. Unlike the former elevator the
new structure is solidly built and
covered with heavy galvanized iron
sheeting, being twice the size Of the
one it replaced. The warehouse is
of the same size as the former struc-
ture. The elevator is now of $4,000
bushels capacity of all kinds Of grain
and every bit: that goes into the
eleven different bins goes through a
thorough dusting. Mechanically, the
carrier is operated from the ground
floor; to any one of the bins desired,
and from an unseen spout the grain
is poured into it's allotted bin. A
wagon load or car load can be easily
unloaded and in fact little over an
hour is all that's necessary to trans
fer car load from the spur track
to it's bin in the elevator, and giant
scales can weigh either with the ut
most ease.
Every Grain Cleaned.
Every sack of oats put up in the
elevator goes through a thorough
cleaning for the jobbing trade.
Ground feed, oats, corn, barley and
rye all receive the same treatment
and the company buys and ships all
varieties of grains, and handles the
-four product of the St. Cloud Flour
mill of which H. C. Erwin & Co. are
the owners, the favorite brands be-
ing Ervin's Best and Gold Bond.
List of Officers.
The offices of the new elevator are
spacious and equipped modern in de-
tail, and the officers of the Beltrami
Milling company are:
President-Thomas S. Erwin, Be-
midi
Vice pres.-H. C. Erwin, Jr, St.
Cloud
Secretary-George Refs, St. Cloud.
'~ Observation-Disclosures Hughes, Be-
midi.
The elevator is located on the
M. & l. railroad, at the Bemidji end
of the concrete bridge that spans the
Mississippi, and is monument to the
enterprise of this business concern,
and valued asset to the business in
terests of Bemidji

ADDED TO QUOTATIONS

The community market quotations,
which appear daily in The Pioneer,
are attracting attention from far and
near, and much favorable comment is
being received by The Pioneer from
both merchant and farmer. The
neigh boring towns, within radius OF
fifty miles, are receiving The Pioneer
and are looking to this paper as the
medium for world and county news
Market Meets Demand.
Now, a word about the daily mar
ket quotations. They are being pub
lished because of the urgent request
of both merchant and farmer and be-
cause they give information that is OF
real value to the citizens of this COM
munity.
The fact that in some instances
Saltwater quotations seem higher
than the prices paid in Bemidji
should not De SO construed, because
in each instance the freight between
lBemidji and Saltwater should be de-
Quoted.
Potato Price Equal.
In yesterdays issue, the Saltwater
market quoted potatoes at 81 per cwt.
This means that Al graded white
stock must be furnished. If Bemidji
buyers paid $1.65 the price would be
equal to 81 in Saltwater, because the
freight in small quantities (less than
car lots) is approximately IS cents
per cwt. In car lots the freight
would be about Is cents per cwt.
This would mean that $1.85 equalled
50 in Saltwater. Then, of course,
the nuisance Of waiting for your
money and other delays should be
taken into consideration, which is
not necessary when selling to local
dealers.
Report Increased.
The Pioneer is very anxious to
start Belnidji market and in to-
days issue may be found quotations
on Al potatoes and general sum-
ary of prices paid for other produce.
The columns Of the Daily and Weekly
Pioneer are open to all, and mer-
chants and buyers who desire to fur
nish market quotations may do so,
and they will be published free OF
any cost.
