the country, and will, it is
claimed, inevitably bring about
the predicted scarcity and pro-

The steamer Liban left ,Marseilles

witnessed by the pilot boat Blechamp,
which was about two miles distant.
The Blechamp Immediately repaired to

later she had entirely disappeared.
In the meantime the Blechamp, the

has suffered as a result OF the recent
floods more than any other state. No
actual figures to sustain this can be
given. but those acquainted with the
extent and amount of the damage
have been making estimates and their
conclusions may be considered fairly
reliable The damage done in the
principal cites and towns 1t is esti-
mated will aggregate over S12,000,GOO.
No account has been taken of the
smaller towns, although nearly 200 Of
these were affected by the foods. The
very lowest estimate that can be made
of the loss done to crops is S5,000,000.
Owing to the lateness of the season
and the condition of the soil it is very
doubtful ii any profit will be derived
during the remainder of the year from
the farms which were inundated. AS

BASEBALL TALK.

a H. y. az-14E
The players in Sundays bal
game received everything calcu=
lated to please a base runners
heart except money. This prime
requisite to the support OF a
creditable baseball team was
sadly lacking. It is estimated
that 500 people Witnessed the
contest which, though not a
metropolitan exhibition in itself,
was way head Of no game at all,
and better than the financial as
sistance rendered would war
rant. From this assemblage OF
rooters only S17 was collected,
hardly half enough to defray the
expenses of the eighteen ball
tossers, and an average Of a little
less than six cents for each OF
the 500 onlookers.
Everything considered, the
turnout was a very good one Tor
the size of the town, and is crl-
terion of what Bemidji and the
surrounding country could do in
the way of raising interest in a
series of high class games. Judg-
ing by the cash donations at the
contest Sunday, however, the
majority Of enthusiasts have a
wrong idea Of the manner in
which such a series may be insti-
tuted.
Bemidjji needs good ball team.
Her citizens want it. This was
demonstrated in a practical man
ner by the size Of the crowd at
the last game, merely an anna
. teur performance. Aside from
the pleasure attached to witness
ING first class exhibition OF the
great American game, there IS
the fact that an Al team is a big
factor in advertising it's home
town. An aggregation Of this
class not only makes money for
it's promoters if given the proper
support, but results protitablv to
the business men. Beyond ques-
ton a ball team is a good thing
for a town, and the better the
team the better tits for the town.
1t should be given at least rea-
sonable support.
Local fans can never expect
good games to be played on the
home grounds if they do not in
the future do better in the way
of financial aid. The money thus
expended promotes the best in
terests of the town to a certain
extent, and is; spent here for the
most part.
If the game Sunday shad.. been
financial success news of the
affair would have spread, and
might be expected to result In a
series of high class games. Good
teams would be ready and
anxious to come andMplay the
locals. AS the quality Of the
games improved the crowds at
tending would grow in 0propor-
ton. Bemidji would be spoken
of as a good baseball town. PEG
pie coming here would likewise
take note of her manifold ad-
vantages as a place OF residence
and her name would become
familiar in the surrounding states.
BemidI can support as good
a team as some of the towns in
the circuit of northern league.
The business men in the past
have been liberal enough in THEN
support; now let the ordinary
citizen take a personal interest il
the matter, as he does in the
games, to the extent OF at leas'
paying an admissirn fee.

SOME OTHER A. SMITH.

Four men sat around a gaming
table in the booming lumber. town
of Boomapolis. Angry words
were heard, then a pistol shot,
and a young man staggered from
the table and fell backward, dead.
A local paper gave the story in a
ten-line local the following week.
It was a case of chad luck at
cards, followed by suicide. " The
affair was forgotten long before
the paper came out, and the
gamblers had reloaded their
cards while the goddess of justice
wrapped a fresh bandage around
her eyes.
But one there was in a nearby
lumber camp who read the
account without forgetting. He
came TO the city and SOugnJ OUT

the grave beneath the stunted
jack pines. The early moon
beams fell upon a face that
looked hideous with it's lines of
steel around the mouth. AS he
raised his arm aloft and swore
an oath, there was the spring Of
a tiger in his eyes.
Three months have passed, and
of the three gamblers who sent
Smith to his grave, two have fol
lowed him. One was shot through
an open window while dealing
cards; the other fell from a train,
the papers said. The third
