one-half Of twelve appointments for city
positions made by Mayor Moores. Those
that found favor included only the charter
offices. With two exceptions in the cases
of Electrician Patton and Prosecutor Lee,
Councllmen Dyball. OBrien and Nicholson
stood by the mayor. while Huntington also
opposed the confirmation Of Lee. The ma

President Zimman, Back, Evans, Schroeder
and Hoye. Nothing was said for or against
any Of the men selected by the mayor.

A FRUIT FARM
One Will Be Started In Bemidii
By A. L. Harris Next
Season.

Bemidji is to have a fruit farm.
A. L. Harris, for several years
connected with the Lumbermens
State bank, has let contract for
thelerection of a residence on his
1O-acre plot Of ground just north
of Whites addition. The piece
of ground will be cleared this
year and next season will be
planted to small fruit. A good
portion of it will be devoted to
the culture of Strawberries. This
fruit grows well in Beltrami
county, and as it does not ripen
until the southern berries are off
the market it commands a good
price.

Great damage by a forest fire

Great damage by forest fire
was narrowly averted at Black
duck today For a time it was
feared that the whole town would
be a victim of the tire tiend and
Bemidji was telegraphed for aid.
A special train was made up by
the M. & |. and volunteers We're
called for. The tire department.
with It's apparatus was out IN
force. The special with hun
dred people on board was about
to pullout when another telegram
was received stating that the fire
was under control and that dan
ger to the town had passed.
News of the affair is neccs
sarily very meager, but from the
several kilograms received it is
gathered that the fire was on
three sides of the town. The
wind was high, which made mat
tiers worse The entire town Of.
Blackjack turned out and the
citizens by hard fighting got the
fire under control. 1t it had once
got among the wooden buildings
the fight would have been a hope
less one.

An appeal taken on the action
of the county commissioners in

PRESIDENT WILL
DECIDE
He Will Make the Final De-
cision in the Land
Office Case.
ALL POSSIBLE EVIDENCE TO BE
GATHERED,
To Recommend One Town or
Other as Evidence May
Warrant.

WASHINGTON, June 81.
Whether the new land office IN
northern Minnesota shall be 10.
Gated at Cass Lake or at BemidJi
is still an open question; a very
wide open question, ia tact.
president Roosevelt, after an IN
terview with Representative
STEVENSON and L. H. Bailey, an
attorney from Bemidji, dictated
a letter to Commissioner Rich
ards Of the general land office, in
| the presence of Messrs. Steen-
erson and Bailey, in which he adj
yised that the question OF the To-
cation of the new Office should be
carefully inquired into by Rich
ards who, he said, should secure
all available evidence, written
and oral, and then recommend
one town or the other as the evil
dence may warrant. This recon-
mendation=is 7tos-be forwarded to
the president, who will review it
and make final decision.
This is a great victory for the
Bemidji people, in view OF Com
missioner Richards action in
definitely locating the office at
Cass Lake, and thus, as many
supposed, finally disposing OF
the matter. Mr.. Stevenson
feels jubilant over the success OF
This visit to the president, and
will return home to prepare for
| the hearing before Mr.. Richards,
which will come in a month or
two, probably. Whether Be-
midi will ultimately secure the
land officeornot he does not know,
but he says the people OF that
town are perfectly willing to
submit their case on it's merits
and abide by the president s de
cision, based on full inquiry
into all the facts as to the con
venience of settlers, railroad
lines, etc.
Originally there We're some
matters Of patronage connected
with the case, and they may have
had something to do with the
early victory Of Cass Lake. Mr..
Stevenson, however, announces
that he is entirely willing to per
nit the newly appointed officers
of the new district to serve. He
has no candidates to take THEN
places, and will not bring the
question of patronage into the
controversy. All he wants is
that the land Office itself shall be
at Bemidji.

An affecting scene was enacted
this morning at the services held
by the AIasons over the body OF
Edwin Scowen, the young man
who died of typhoid fever Thurs
day night at st. Anthony hos
pital. Miss Peterson of Glen
wood, Mimi, who was engaged
to be married to Mr.. Scowan,
was present at the simple serv-
Ices. She arrived in the city
yesterday with the two brothers
of the deceased, and up to today
had borne mp nobly under the
severe strain. This morning,
however, she could stand the
strain no longer and broke down
completely. Her grief was pitt
|ful tosee.
The body was Slipped on the
morning train to1A mherst, Ais.,
where the father of the deceased
resides. 1t was accompanied by
Mr.. Scowen s two brothers and
Miss Peterson. The young man
was a member Of both the Mason
and Knights of Pythias lodges.
! The Masons held short services
in e. L. MAYORS undertaking
parlors at $50 O'Clock this morn
inc, and there We're about 70
members of the lodge present,
lbesides @a- number of friends OF
| the deceased who, though not
very widely known in town owing
| to the brief time he has resided
here, had a circle of very warm
friends who deeply mourn his
loss. TIE services We're simple
but impressive. Rev. Mcleod
Offered prayer.
The coffin was placed on the
train and was accompanied as Tar
as South Bemidji by the Masons.
The transfer at Brainerd will be
looked after by the lodge in that
city, and at Minneapolis more
Masons will lend helping hand.
Edwin Scowen, who was only
26 years of age, came to Bemldp
about four months ago to assume
the duties of manager OF the
Bazaar store. The date for his
marriage with Miss Peterson, a
young lady of charming person
ality and great personal attrac-
tions, was set for next fall.

FIREMEN RETURN
in TRIUMPH
Arrived Last Night Bringing
New Championship Ban
ner With Them.
SEVERAL OTHER PRIZES WERE
ALSO WON.
Halyerson Nearly Tied Worlds
Record for Ladder
sg
Climbing.

The Bemidj fremen returned
last night in triumph from the
tournament held at Park Rapids.
They brought with them the
championship banner which they
had won in tair contest in the
association hose race. They
were greeted at the depot on
their arrival by cheering crowds.
Forming in line they marched
Through the main streets Of the
town, headed by the Bemidji
band. Blackjack also marched
in the procession.
1.-THE details Of the races in
which Bemidji participated are
as follows: = Association hose
race, first prize $50 and cham
pionship banner; second prize,
S35; Park Rapids, 80 Is seconds;
Bemidji, 81 Is seconds; Grand
Rapids, 81 3-5 seconds. Bemidji
contested the race and was
awarded the banner, as explained
in yesterdays Daily Pioneer.
Ladder climbing contest, Hal
version, Bemidji, first prize, $40;
time, Z Is seconds. Earl Cell,
Bemidji, and French, Blackjack,
tied for second place; time, 3-5
seconds; prize, $40.
Association hook and ladder
race, prizes $50, S35 and $40.
Park Rapids, 80 seconds; Grand
Rapids, 33 seconds; Bemidji 81 2-5
seconds. ~
Couping-Prizes, SIS, $50 and
SIS. William English, Bemidji,

duck, and Bob English, Bemidji,
tied for second place.
Hub and Hub Race--Prizes,
$50, S35 and $40. Park Rapids,
first place; Bemidji, second;
Grand Rapids, third.
1t is claimed that Grand Rapids
had three professional men, and
Park Rapids five in their teams,
and that because of this they
should have been barred from
the races. Bemidji and Black
duck had no professional men in
their teams. They stuck to
gether throughout the tourna-
ment, and each rooted for the
other.
In the ladder elm bling contest
Halverson came within one-fifth
of a second of tying the worlds
record.
Park Rapids was loath to part
with the banner and it is said
that the mayor gave orders that
lit should be hid. Better senti
ment prevailed, however, and the
chief Of police handed the prize
to Bemidji to keep. The other
championship banner has beer
twice won. The new. banner has

Guesses at the worlds age differ
widely. Sir Edward Fry points out
that the physicist, reasoning from
the dissipation of the earth's heat
the contraction Of the sun and the
action of the tides, finds that the
earth consolidated at time nearer
20,O0O,ooO than 40,00O,0OO years AFRO;
while the gcologist, from the present
rate at which sand, chalk, etc. are
being deposited by river and sea, in.
fers that 4j0,000,000 years must have
elapsed since life began ON the globe
The biologist thinks the time must
be still more vast since the beginning
Of life, on the assumption that spe.
cies have multiplied by very slow
variation, the estimate being 2.7OO.-
100000 years, Sir Edward contend,
that the single phenomenon Of
'pclorism," sudden transmissihle
variation among plants, sufficiently
shows that the biological estimate IL
unnecessarily long. This abnormal
development was first observed more
thnn $50 years ago in the yellow
toad.nax of Baltic island, and has
since been traced by one observer in
40 varieties Of plants.

VALUE OF FERTILIZERS
Nature Demands Return for What
She Yields and the Farmer
Must supply 1t.

Everything In the vegetable line
draws its sustenance directly from the
son. In its most nutritious stage each
plant contains the most valuable of the
elements of soil fertility it is capable
Of consuming, We're farm crops re-
moved from the soil and no equivalent

made, the farm must suffer thereby.
On the ordinary farm, however, such
a condition Of affairs Is rarely neces-
sary, as there is usually enough stock
to furnish an abundance Of manure.
which, if properly managed, win more
than supply the deficiency. Those who
lind the supply of barnyard fertilizer
insufficient or inadequate to meet the
demands of the soil resort to the le
gnmes with most gratifying results.
There Is scarcely portion of the
country where some of the lcgumes
will not thrive and improve the soil.
They furnish the most expensive ele-
ment of fertility, nitrogen, at the low
est possible cost When turned I'M
der green, they render the soil rich in
humus and available plant food
Strange as 1t may seem, the value of
most fertilizers as plant food is not the
only value they have in their relation
to plant life. The moisture they gath
er from the air adds greatly to their
worth in dry weather. The nitrates
possess the property of taking water
freely from the air, as do the salts of
potash, gypsum, etc. Plants must have
food and drink-avaiable food and
water, within their reach. A farm left
to deterlorate in fertility cannot raise
crops to maintain the number of lives
that well-kept, highly fortified farm
can. Nature demands return for
what sheyields.-C. b. Bartlett, in Epi-
