Project on Foot to Transfer
Northern League Team
to Bemidji.
DULUTH WOULD GET MILWAU.
KEE LEAGUE TEAM,
Claimed that Players in Latter
Team will Be Sold Out
at Auction.

BemIdji may be in the North.
ern league next year. There is a
project on foot to put Duluth in
the American league by trans
ferring the Milwaukee team,
which is liable to be sold off at
auction for lack of patronage, to
Duluth-players, franchise and
all. If this is done the Duluth
Evening Herald asserts that the
Duluth Northern league fran
chise and players will be trans
ferred to Bemidji
Bemid j is considered a good
base ball town and it is generally
believed that she can support a
league team as well or better
than some of the towns now in
the Northern circuit. The local
grounds are equal to any In the
state outside the Twin Cities.
Bemidjji in the league would do
muchtoward advertising the city,
and it has been suggested that
the Commercial club give the
matter some attention
The Herald stoutly maintains
that the scheme is not an idle
dream or an impossibility. IN
less the Milwaukee team receives
better support the players are to
be sold to the highest bidder.
Duluth is base ball crazy, and, it
is claimed, draws bigger crowds
to it's games than. either ST. Paul,
Minneapolis, indianapolis, Kan
sas City or Toledo.

CONDITION
The Banks of the Northwest
We're Never More
Prosperous.
BUSINESS In ALL LINES ISVERY
SUCCESSFUL.
Volume of Commercial Operations
Is Greater Than Ever
Before.

Bankers and leading business
men assert that there has never
been a time when the banks of
the Northwest We're more pros-
porous OF their business more
solidly conducted than now, or
when the value of commercial
transactions was greater and
general business operations car
ried on in more conservative
and successful manner. A ST.
Paul paper says that st. Paul
banks have never lent more
money or made more prompt coll
lections than this year. They
have never witnessed time
when the ordinary commercial
paper was better security.
G. "A. hubbard, one of the best
known bankers Of the state and
Interested in the Lake City banls
said: s'The Northwest is pros
porous, and financial conditions
are good. The uneasiness of the
east and especially of New York
does not extend to this section.
| We are able to paddle our own
canoe and have the money TO do
it. My opinion is that is the east

STRAWBERRIES
st. Paul Man SAYS They Could Be
Raised Here With
Profit.

"Strawberry farming on an
extensive scale near Bemidj j
would be paying proposition, :
said G. z. Anderson, of st. Paul,
today. q have just come from
Aitkin, where | had a talk with
G. H. Way, a strawberry farmer
of Spirit Lake. I believe berries
coald be grown as we'll, or better,
about Bemidji than they can at
Spirit Lake, for the conditions
are ideal.
"Mr. Way is still comparatively
new at the business, but has one
third of an acre of plants, and
from these has marketed between
L, 800 and 5000 boxes of berries.
Some of the berries have been
very large. and in some instances
ten of them filled a box. One
berry that has been preserved
for exhibition at the state fair
measures 1Oa inches in circum-
ference, and from 5 to 8 inches is
very ordinary. Mr.. Way says he
can raise more strawberries to
the acre than he can potatoes.
If they can do that in Aitkin
county a man could do equally
we'll hore.

Beltrami County Is a Leader
in the Agricultural
Line.
VEGETABLES ARE A SURPRISE
T0AN IONA MAN.
Says Bemidji Will Become Me.
tropolis of Prosperous
Farming Region.

s'The variety. of vegeta bles
growing in Beltrami county and
the luXuriance of its grasses is
surprising, I said [. ID. Good, of
Iowa, this morning. Mr. Good
is looking over Beltrami county
lands with aview of purchasing a
farm. Il have been over this
portion of the county pretty thor
oughly," he continued, ''and
wherever there is farming or
gardening, even on a small scale,
[ find a remarkab BILE growth of
vegetables. | believe, from what
/ have observed, that any vegeta-
BILE known to Wisconsin and Min
nesota can be grown here with
ease and profit. The timothy and
clover, wherever it has had a
chance to grow, is no less re-
markable.
"The scheme suggested by the
Pioneer a few days ago relative
to the sowing of grass seed over
the vacant lands by settlers of
the county is a good one, and the
result of such action on. the part
of farmers and others would be
beneficial to the country. 1t
would not only improve the APP
pearanceof the landsand increase
their value in the eyes Of the pur-
chaser, but the hay which could
be cut by the settlers would more
than repay them for the little
time spent in scattering the-seed.
The money consideration would
be too small to be considered.
Northern Minnesota is bound
to develop into a great country,
and this county will be among
the leaders. Bemidj will be-
come the metropolis Of the whole
section. and, being at the juno
ton Of the two roads, will be the
distributing point for northern
Minnesota. AS the county set
tiles up, wholesale houses and
other business institutions will
be established here. This will
become necessary as the demand
for all classes of goods increases.
Il also believe that it is a matter
of only a short time before the
talked of summer hotel is built
here.
1.-The increase in value of lands
in this section will be REPETITION
Of what occurred in Iowa, Hi
nois and all the older farming
states Lands that could once
be purchased for S. an acre
there is now bringing 1925 and
$3.50 an acre, and in many sec
tons 1t is hard to get it at that.
The prices of lands in Beltra1ni
county and in other fertile parts
of northern Minnesota will stead
lily increase and a man who IN
vests now, according to my judg-
ment, is dead sure Of good re-
turns later on.

The sword Should %.

In the recent military manuyers at Fort
Riley, Kan. Col. Wagner, of the Adju-
tant Generals Department, who acted as
umpire, says the sword was a positive
detriment to the success of plans and op-
erations, as it was the means of revealing
the presence of troops whose position it
was desired to conceal.
'In many cases." said Col Wagner,
'the first indication of the opposing force
was given by the flashing Of bright scab-
bard in the sunlight. The sword is a pic
turesque adjunct for mysterious officials
of secret societies, convenient and conf
paratively harmless weapon for the duel
lists of the German universities, and a
darling accessory for dramatic star, but

Cincinnati Physicians Experiment with New
Cure for Consumption with Mar
velous Results.
Special to The National Tribune.
CINCINNATI, O., Jan. 15.-For the
benefit of the local medical fraternity. DR..
Marshal Beatty, principal of the National
Dispensary at PIG West Ninth street, who
has become world famous through his re-
cent discovery of the antiseptic air cure
for consumption, has just completed a
series of test treatments on ten patients
specially selected to cover every degree
of tuberculosis from incipient catarrh to
consumption in the lowest emaciated
stages.
The result has been series of revela-
tons to the local physicians, who have
watched with interest every stage of the
treatment. The local papers have devoted
columns to the progress of the treatment,
and DIR. Beatty is the hero of the hour One
of the most interesting features of the
treatment was the rapid Increase in the
weight of the patients. One, woman
whose case had been considered hopeless
by other local physicians, gained thirty
pounds in weight within four weeks. In
DIR. Beaty's mail each day are hundreds
of letters from all parts of the country
requesting treatment. In speaking of this
today he said: 1.-THE duty of every ply
stefan is to alleviate as much suffering as
he can, and will reply TO every bona fide
request made to me for treatment am
too busy with my practice. however, to an
swer letters which ask Tor autographs or

THE PRIMITIVE HORSE.
Discovery of Another Ancestor Of the Equine
Family.

Prof. Ewart has recently described a
new species of horse from the Western
Islands of Great Britain. Until recently
it has been the accepted theory that all
living horses belong to one and the same
species, and that all the breeds of Euro
pean horses were descendants of domestic
varieties from the Orient. The etchings
the horse may have been domesticated in
Europe before the arrival of neolithic man.
Horses. donkeys and zebras differ marked.
ly in that the two latter have no callOs-
tiles such as the horse possesses. The dis.
covery of new variety of small horse in
Central Asia by Col. Przeyalsky will be
remembered, and now Prof. Ewart de-
scribes still another variety. 1t was o
pony, not a dwarf horse with no callosi-
ties on the hind legs and resembling the
wild horse of Central Asia in having only
short hairs on the upper part of the tail.
AS the most typical specimen of the new
variety was found in an out-of-the-way
part of Iceland there is no chance that it
is the result of cross with the Prevail
sky horse, though it was exactly of the
color of the Central Asian horse. Not
having callosities, it agreed with the asses
and zebras, and, like them, 1t was highly
specialized in the size, form of the head,
cars and under lip and in the position of
the eyes.
The Celtic pony differed decidedly from
the Przevalsky horse. The limbs were
slender, with small joints and narrow
hoofs. The Celtic pony was found in Ire
land and on the Hebrides, probably in Ice
land, and in the New Forest. There is no
evidence, however, that it exists anywhere
in the Orient. All of the Oriental ponies
have the characteristics of the Arab horse
-callosities. long. pointed ears, tails COW
cred with long hairs. 1t is conceivable
that the Celtic pony in its present form
never existed in the East and that it is
the modified descendant of a small horse
which left the ancestral home in Central
Asia and reached Europe before the ad-
ings in caves suggest the existence of a
small horse which may very well CORE
spond to the Celtic pony.

CAUTIOUS PIGEONS.
Knew When They Had Enough and Went
Home With Their Jags.


New Orleans Times Democracy
Speaking of pigeons and the queer an
tics they sometimes play, reminds me of a
funny thing that happened to we'll
known fancier in this city, said man
who lives uptown, 'and may say right
here that the man who doesn't believe the
pigeon is q cunning member when it comes
to the business of regulating its own af-
fairs is very much mistaken.
"The man in question had q few birds
in his flock he wanted to get rid of. He
could not get close enough to put his hands
on them, SO he resOrted to a little expe-
dent to catch the willy members. He got
a lot Of rice and soaked it in whisky. By
getting them to eat a lot of this whisky
soaked stuff he thought he would make
them drunk, and then it would be an easy
matter to catch them. He thought they
would eat until they were drunk and then
keel over ID the yard, SO he would have
nothing to do but pick them up. He
shelled out ten6ugh rice to make a drove
of hogs drunk and he began to think his
little experiment. was going to prove a fail.
effects of the whisky. They were decided
ly booty, and Seemed to be having a deal
of fun out of The game. They would hog
around on the ground quite merrily, and
would nowiland then take a little whirl
up in the air just for the fun of the thing.
Directly one Of the pigeons flew up to the
little house lnhthe rear of the yard. Soon
another followed. This thing kept up un-
til the lastp one of the birds had flown
into the pigeon house. There was a noisy
clatter in tile house which had been taken
charge of BY the birds for awhile, and then
suddenly the noise died out. The pigeons
all went tolsieep and did not venture out
until they had slept their jag off.
'"The little expedient had proved a fail
ure, and up to this good day the man has
never been able to get rid of the bad lot
of pigeons, and the chances are that he
will not get rid of them until he shoots
them"
