To Remedy an Evil
ME American Farmer says:

The American Farmer says:
Some OF the farmers in the centla
west are gettinga "square DEAF from
an unexpected quarter. 10 the sum-
mer when all other people are given
low rates for excursions everywhere
the farmers are too busy to take ad-
vantage OF the cheap fares. In winter
their lAyof season, when they have
the tims to go, the railroads have re-
turned to full tariffs and thus the farm
er gets the worst Of it at both ends.
One of the lines leading out OF Chicago
proposes to remedy this by giving week
end excursion rates during the winter
months available,for trips limited to
from five to fifteen days. While, of
course, all people can coms..in ION this,
it is established for the especial benefit
OF farmers. The other roads are kick
ing on this innovation but will ev
tually have tc knock undor or lose ell

The second day of the races
was all that could be desired,
from a weather standpoint, but
the attendance was very small,
although the program offered
was a good one. The sun had
dried the track nicely and by
working on it several hours it
was in much better shape than
on Friday.
The unfinished 2:15 class pac-
ing race was the first on the pro.
gram. Baby Lew had won two
heats, Mixer one and Little Jim
one. Little Jim won two heats,
with Lew second in the first heat
and third in the second. At the
end, the driver of Baby Lew fled
a protest against Little Jim, and
the final result of the race was
postponed until Sunday, for con-
sideration of the protest. Best
time, 2:25.
The 2:28 class pace was de-
clared off, as Bemidji Bell was
lame and could not start, and
there were but two other entries.
The 2:20 class had four start
ers, George H. Ray, Rupert,

they finished as entered, Rupert

company of this city, is in Be.
midi, having spent the last week
here looking after his business
interests. He is a guest at the
home of his cousin, John Lunn,
secretary and treasurer of the
Trade company.
Mr.. Gale is greatly pleased
with the way the Bemidji bust
ness is progressing and believes
that bis company has selected
the right field, in locating in Be-
midi.
There is no question IN my
mind, said Mr.. Gale in speak
ing with the Pioneer, sbut that
your city, or might say, per-
haps, our city, is destined to be a
distributing point for this whole
territory within a radius of fifty
or hundred miles. There are
plenty of indications of it now,
and the place has this advantage;
it has the railroad facilities.
Many am bilious cities start out
with the industries and then
have to work to get the railroads ];
but Bemidji has the railroads,
and the industries are bound to
come"

Alfred Belt, Cecil Rhodes had small

Some Fast Time Made Sunday by
Horses on the Local
Track.
FREE-FOR-ALL GOES TO BILLIE
BOGGS AFTER EXCITING RACE
Happy Hooligan Captures 2::35-CIass
Money; Assessor Wins the
Running Races.

The races Sunday brought out
a large crowd that filed the
stands and lined the track for
100 feet each side. The weather
was ideal, and the best race of
the meet, the free for-all, was
on the program.
Of the eight horses originally
entered in the free. for-all, but
four started, Little Jim, Little
Tim, Rupert and Billy Boggs.
From the start it was seen that
the race was "for blood" and all
four drivers did their very best
to bring their speeders to the
fore. The first heat was won by
Little Jim, and the finish was a
whipping drive with Rupert.
Billy Boggs, the favorite, could
not get better than third, but
showed his speed in the stretch.
The second heat was a drive for
the money from the word ''go"
to the finish at the wire. Boggs
came strong in the last quarter,
and Little Jim won only by a
small margin. This heat was
travelled in 2:24 the fastest time
made at the meet, and it tired
Little Jim to such an extent that
he was unable to head Boggs
again, the latter winning the
next three heats and the race.
The 2:35 pace brought to the
score Happy Hooligan, Fridley,
Queenwood and Dan F. This
race was a repetition of those in
which Happy and Fridley have
been ent cred on this circuit.
Fridley took the first heat and
Happy Hooligan won the next
three with ease, J. J. Phelps
driving Happy with excellent
skill and L L. Phelps bringing
Fridley close to the "old mans"
sulky. Best time, 2:3O.
The half mile running race
