Baptie in Good Form.

Norval Baptie of Bathgate, N.
D., the worlds champion ice
skater, who is well known in Be-
midi, has again won honors in
the national championship races
which were skated at Saranac
Lake, N. Y, on Wednesday.
Baptie won all three of the
races that were pulled off that
day, the half-mile event, and the
one. mile and the three mile
races. J. K. McCulloch of Winni-
peg was second in the first two
races and Bellefuille, of Rat
Portage, was second in the thre e
mile race.
Baptie spent several months
in Bemidji four years ago, and
was also here on a visit two years
ago. 1t is possible that he will
give an exhibition at the local
rink when he comes back from
the east.

HARRY WEBB GIVES AN

Easily Defeats Bert Carver, Local
Champion.-WiII Skate in St.

Harry Webb, the Duluth pro.
fessional skater, gave an exhlbi-

last evening at the ice rink, when
he skated a race against Bert
Carver, the local champion.
While Carver is a very good anna

he is possessed of great speed.
He has an easy, graceful stride
that covers lots of territory, and
he handles himself very we'll.
Carver made a good showing, and
with practice will be able to give
any of the amateurs hereabouts.

CASS LAKERS WOULD KILL

senate and house hold joint ses.
sion on Tuesday next, or some
later day, at which time the com.
mittee could consider the ques-

tional normal school should be
established. Our delegation re-
quested the delegation from Cass
Lake to join them in presenting
to this meeting of the commit
tees the facts showing the need
of an additional normal school IN
northern Minnesota.
1t was proposed also that at
this meeting nothing would be
said about the merits of the diff
ferent localities seeking the
school, but that after the commit
tees had determined that an ad-
ditional school should be estab-
lished, we would ask the CON-
mittees to hold another session at

! TO the Editor Pioneer
! The weather was fine for q
week of the time I stopped IN
Dennison, Texas, and then there
came what is called a s'norther. .
The wind was in the north, the
sky was cloudy, and the ther.
mometer went down to % de-
grees above zero. It was very
uncomfortable, and I concluded
to go further south.
boarded the train on the M.
K. & I. and came to this place,
400 miles south of Dennison and
within twenty miles of Galveston
bay. The "norther" followed,
although in this town the lowest
the perature reached was 40
degrees above zero, but the
people kicked as much about the
weather as we do in Minnesota
when the thermometer is mon
keying around 40 below.
Houston is quaint old town,
one Of the Oldest in the state, and
has a population of about 60. 600
Although it is a nice place, it is
built up partly in the old south
ern style and partly in northern
style. I took a walk of mile or
two over the city to see how it
looked. It seems rather funny
to one coming from the north,
where there is three feet Of
snow, and change so quickly to a
climate almost tropical. The
trees and shru b berry are so much
different from those at home:
The ornamental trees here are
mostly live oak, magnolia. OLE
ander, and some half a dozen
varieties Of which I do not know
the names. AS an ornamental
tree, the magnolia is the king. It
is certainly the finest I ever saw.
I find the gardens full offowers,
several kinds of roses, lilies, etc. !,
also bananas. This country is a
little too far north to be in the
banana belt, but the trees live
and bloom here, and some have
fruit, but as a general thing the
fruit does not mature. Oranges

the merits of the merits of their
claim for the loca tion.
At first the Cass Lake delega.
tion seemed inclined to agree up.
on this plan, but finally they and
their representatives in the sen.
ate declined it, and it is now their
policy to either pass legislation
favorable to the location at Cass
Lake or kill the bill. It would
seem probable that this dog-in-
the manger policy will not be ap-
proved by the large majority of
the legislators. The Bemidji
delegation of citizens is entitled
to credit for taking the stand
that it will join Thief River Falls
and Cass Lake in urging the
needs of an additional normal
school for northern Minnesota,
and then afterwards, when fav-
orable action in that regard is
secured, submit Bemidji's claim
upon it's merits and ask the COM
mittees on normal school to visit
Thief River Falls, Bemidji and
Cass Lake, and determine which
place presents the greatest ad-
vantages.

l know that I may suggest a
prompt reservation of seats at
p. N. French & Co.'s City Drug
store. The program will begin
at $50 p. N. sharp. This is done
so as not to keep those who can
come early waiting. For that
reason we render over twenty
different numbers instead of the
usual mum Der of twelve. Any
one who cannot come before $50
will get their moneys worth, just
the same, as our program is a
very strong one and will interest
all. Remember it's tonight. Re.

the soil as being ideal for agri-
