DISASTROUS RUNAWAY
(Bv Correspondent.)

Pinewood, Nov. 12.-With all
the excitement of a Roman chariot
race coming down the street Fri
day evening, W. R. Wendt went
around the corner of the Pinewood
Mercantile company store and
over the scales, where his sins
were quickly weighed. Down the
road at a gait that would make
Dan Patch turn green with envy.
Passing the village church a
fluttering of wings and a vision
of angels appeared; on down the
road, another turn and collision
with jackpine, disastrous col
lsion, a bad wreck, driver with
out horses, with a badly discom-
bobelated equilibrium, a new Wis
ion of how near he came meeting
the Old Fellow. And thus endeth
the most disastrous runaway in
this vicinity.

Not Merely a Grim Spector,
But Center of All That Pro-
notes Bemidji Welfare
a.
ideal CONVENTION HALL;
WINTER SPORTS CENTER
Equipped With Chairs and
Stage and Large Gallery
for Spectators

If Bemidji secures a National
Guard unit and with it the armory
that would be made possible by the
state appropriations to both the in
fantry and naval militia organizations
this city will be able to establish a
recreational center that will supply
a long felt want. .
Plans for the armory are not COM
plete but concrete ideas have been
secured on what the building will
contain. The site has already been
established at the foot Of Third
street off Bemidji avenue. The deed
is in the hands of the states
Site 5Ox140 Feet.
The lot is fifty feet by one hum
,dred and forty with unlimited field
for extension over the lake, a project
that has been pronounced feasible; by
contractors. Facilities for athletic
features will predominate in plan
ming the structure. There will be
curling rinks, a warming house for
skaters, a toboggan slide extending
from the top of the building out over
the lake so that it can be used both
in summer and winter, athletic ap=
paratus in the big drill room: and an
indoor shooting gallery.
Hall Of Varied Uses.
The large drill hall which will
practically cover the first floor will
be equipped with chairs and a stage,
it will have a gallery for spectators
and will be capable Of being used as
a dance hall, gymnasium, drill hall
and auditorium as the need may
arise. =.
In the front of the building will
be rooms for the officers, a recrea-
tional room and library for the men,
band room and kitchen:
Suitable provisions will be. made
for the boats of the naval militia,
with storage room and landing plat
form.' - 49, ''- ~~
What Bemidji Needs. 4
From the point of view Of the Be-
midi citizen the drill hall is by far
the most important feature. Of the
! building as it will supply the need
that has. existed here for a suitable
; meeting place for: conventions, large
gatherings and community meetings.
: The large hall in the armory will be
: distinctly designed for that purpose.
Much will be made of the athletic
> features. An athletic organization
whose membership will probably not
be. limited to militia men will un-
<doubtedly be organized and will
prove source of revenue if outsid
ers are charged a membership fee.
Curling, basket ball, indoor baseball,
hockey, football and other sports can
be well handled under competent di-
rectorship. The band will have head
quarters in this building and will be
able to work with both units.
From a social standpoint the arm
, ory will prove especially desirable
owing to it's splendid facilities for
large dances.

Another Death Overseas

Due to accidental drowning, the
/! name of Rembert Eagle is added to
Highlands honor roll, boys who
lave lost their lives in the service of
Jur country.
The sad news came Friday last in
he form of a cablegram from his
two brothers, Russell and Josiah Ea-
l gle, stating simply that Rembert had
been drowned, and that letter CIV
ng particulars would follow.
In the absence of details it is reas
Enable to assume that he was acct
lentally drowned when Paris was in
Undated by the river Seine early in
January, accounts of which were
given in the foreign dispatches.
Rembert was son Of the late
Sam'l C. and Mrs. Matte Eagle, OF
Doe Hill, and was one of six broth
ers, three of whom were with the A.
9. F. in France. He and his brother
Josiah, belonged to he University
Virginia Hospital Unit, and went to
france last summer.
He is survived by his mother and
sister, Miss Martha, at home, one bro
her, Randolph, also of Doe Hill, and
Two other brothers on this side the
Atlantic-Roy, of Pennsylvania, and
Alfred, who at the close of the war
vas taking the S. A. T. c. at the
University of Virginia.
One married sister, Mrs. Cecil, liv-
IS at Radford.
The family has the sincere sympa
,hy of all their friends.

Our Mail Route

The report is current here today
that the government will contract
with Mrs. Laura Cross to carry the
mail on the MISREPRESENTATION route
for the unexpired term of the Neils,
and it is we'll received by the patrons.
With but two or three interruptions
the Cross people have rendered SER
vice on this route for approximately
thirty years, and the character OF
that service has been excellent. AS
stated in our last issue, this is "a
mans job" calling for an equipment,
energy and business capacity too Of
ten overlooked and ignored in the
bidding. As a mater of course there
are others besides the Cross people
who could fill the bill, but is due
them to say that they have always
kept in mind the responsibility as
5umed and have not lost sight of the
fact that the peoples claim for regu-
lar and dependable service. There
is perhaps no more arduous, trying
branch of government service, and,
since the days of Trotter and his
four-horse stage, this mountain route
has been regarded as hard one, the
exposure and long hours calling for
the best there is in manhood and en-
durance.
From a-tri-weekly in the eighties,
when it was carried in one pouch on
horseback, the bulk and weight have
increased to a ton day, reqiur-
ing auto trucks to handle it, but, to
balance this increased demand, there
is a corresponding change in COM
pensation, almost ten fold.
Our Uncle Samuel can we'll afford
to give this isolated section an effici-
ent mail service. In all the noun
tain region, from Staunton to Elkins,
there isn't a government postoffice or
building of any sort, all we get in re-
urn for our loyalty is along this one
inc. This fact, as we'll as our pecu-
liar geographical location entities us
20 a satisfactory service, approaching
as nearlyas possible 100 per cent
efficiency.

Saved by Their Horses.

An Australian Amaze writing home
describes the sagacity Of his horse:
"It's wonderful how horse knows
danger in the firing line. During a
recent push in Palestine my horse, for
instance, understood exactly the diff
ference between a shell coming over
and one likely to land anywhere near
our lines. When the buzzing Of a
Taube's engines has been heard in the
distance I've known them to stampede
and race for miles before they halted.
But when the machine disappeared
they turned back. I've patrolled close
to Turkish positions on dark nights,
and although there has been no sign
Of hidden enemy my horse has sud-
denly reared, and the next second
shot from a nearby bush or cactus
grove has rang out. Many a Light
Horseman owes bis life to this strange
instinct amongst the hoofed Austria
Hans."
