COUNTY AUDITOR W|LMANN
ON RAISING WATERMELONS
Remembers Boyhood Days and How
He Gathered Them at That
Time.

Someone has handed County
Auditor John Wilmann lemon"
in the shape of punk"watermelon.
In a burst of confidence to the
Pioneer man, John says:
In old days, when the world was
much better than it is now, there
were good watermelons. AS we
remember them, the watermelons
of twenty-five or thirty years ago,
we're huge affairs. They we're none
of your overgrown cucumber effects
of to-day, but were great big, round
fellows, and the outside was a dark
green. It was the same shade of
green as the reflection of the trees
in swimming hole.
And when you sunk the knife
into it the rind ripped and cracked
for two inches ahead of the blade
and the melon just laughed itself
open!
Hold on You didn't use a
knife. You lifted the melon above
your head and dropped it to the
ground and it burst open, as red as
rose and hundred times as sweet.
And you ate nothing but the
heart-just the chunky, crisp, red
heart.
Nowadays the marketman shows
you an oblong affair done in pale
green and greenery-yallery stripes,
with a white blotch on the under
side, that he calls watermelon.
And you cut it into slices like bo-
logna sausage, and eat it with fork
like pie.
And you have forgotten whether
watermelon goes plink-plink or
plunk-plunk when it is ripe, Because
! it doesn't make any difference now."

PROPOSE REGULAR STOCK
MARKET DAYS FOR BEM|DJI
Mayor Pogue's Suggestion for Stock
Market Day Approved. First
Meeting to be Aug. II

Bemidji will have a Beltrami
county market day, to be held in
conjunction with the first annual
sale of the Northern Minnesota
Exchange, Saturday, August 18th.
The object of the market day is
to bring the people from the country
districts to the city on a certain day
to trade among themselves and
incidentally sell whatever they may
have to offer.
By advertising the date through
out the county and neighboring
towns it will afford an opportunity
to bring the purchaser and seller
together, and a ready market is
assured for all kinds of produce,
grain, poultry, horses and cattle.
The movement has been pro-
jected by Mayor ]. P. Pogue, who
is one of the largest horse dealers
in this section of the state. Bemidji
is the best horse market in northern
Minnesota, there always being a
steady demand for horses for the
various industries, particularly log
ging. The idea. was conceived to
hold a regular market day in con-
nection with the horse sales.
There is on hand among the
local horsemen at the present time
several carloads of stock, and it is
expected that many more will be
shipped in for the sales. The at,
tendance of buyers for the large
logging concerns, as we'll as repre-.
sentatives of the Midway, Duluth
and the Range dealers is assured.
The horse market feature, how
ever, will be advertised in Other
places, and the success of the sales
is assured.
Mayor Pogue is particularly anxiou:
for attendance of the farmers, anc
arrangements are being made to pro
vide place where they can take
care of their stock and display thei
wares.
An auctioneer will be on hand anc
anyone having stock to offer car
have the same auctioned off without
cost, as the expense of the auction
will be borne by Mayor Pogue and
members of the horse exchange.
Regular market days have been a
success in nearly every city in the
state. In order to transact busines.
it is very essential to get. the buyer
and the seller together, and by ad
vertising a certain date ahead, the
buyer knows where he can 20 ane
pick up what he wants, and the
party who has something to sci
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1907-07-31

attends because he is pretty sure to
find someone who wants what he
has to offer.
1t is expected that the merchants
will make a special effort to draw
the people here for this occasion, by
offering bargains that will be an
induCement for the conservative
buyer. ...

MAY TEST THE WATERS
OF MINNESOTA'S LAKES
Game and Fish Commission Will Inves-
tIgate Conditions as to Propaga-
ton of Fish.

By testing the amount of oxygen
in lake water it can be determined
just what kind of fish can live and
multiply therein. This is an import
ant discovery by Prof. Birge of the
Wisconsin game and fish commits
sion and of the Wisconsin university
faculty. T.. .:%
Samuel F. Fullerton, superintend-
ent of fisheries for the Minnesota
Game and Fish commission, has
returned from Erie, Pa, where he
attended the meeting of the American
Fisheries society, and tells of Prof.
Birge's explanation there of his find.
Prof. Birge," said Mr.. Fullerton,
told US he had proved his, theory of
'gasesin water by practical tests
of waters in Wisconsin lakes. Lakes
vary greatly, he says, in the amount
of gases they contain, especially
oxygen. Different species of fish
require different amounts of oxygen.
Thus with pike, running water and
great amount of free oxygen is needed
for their prosperity. In waters the
reverse of this pike cannot live.
This doubtless explains why it is
that after we have dumped tens of
thousands of pike fry in Minnetoka
that not one pike has ever been
caught there. They simply won't
live in Minnetonka water.
We intend to look into Prof.
Birge's theory; and will probably
adopt his system of tests Of lake
waters for Minnesota use. That is
to say, before we have fish fry of GER
tain kind freed in a lake we will have
the waters Of that lake examined by
Birge test to see if that variety of a
fish can live therein. This will save
untold thousands Of fish fry as well
as time, labor, and actual money
which otherwise might be wasted. ="

told how Mrs. Bradley had gone to the
hotel and registered as Browns wife;
of how she had sought him out at his
room and upon the second visit had
fired the two shots which five days
afterwards sent the man to his grave,
and finally of two chambermaids and
the proprietor of the hotel entering
the room after hearing the shots fired
and finding the wounded man lying
on the floor. The hotel proprietor
asked who shot him and he replied by
pointing to Mrs. Bradley, saying:
"That woman over there Brown
was then asked if she was his wife
and both he and Mrs. Bradley replied
in the negative, she adding that
while she was not his wife he was
the father Of her children"
Mr.. Turner said it would be shown
also that Mrs. Bradley had said that
her act was deliberate. "If," he said
in conclusion, .the government sue

you believe it was a deliberate muir

Rand Concert and Dance Bio Success.

The concert and dance given last
night at the City Opera House by
the Bemidji band was a very success
full affair, in every respect.
There was large crowd in attend
ance at the concert, and the hall
was crowded with those who re-
manned for the dance at the con.
clusion of the concert.
The quality of the music furnished
by the band was a surprise to every
one. The program was varied one,
and the members of the band, under
the direction of Prof. Thomas Sym
ington, played as they never have
played before-the large crowd
applauding vigorously.
Professor Symington deserves
much credit for the results which
he has attained, through persistent
drilling and iustructing when much
discouraged by many reverses.

LEGALITY OF BOYCOTT |
Case Of Widespread. Interest on
Trial at Washington.
VITAL PRINCIPLE AT STAKE
Court Asked to Enjoin the Federation
Of Labor From Continuing It's Fight
Against the Products Of st. Louis
Manufacturing Concern.

Washington, Nov. 1 1.-THE case Of
the Buck Stove and Range company,
of st. Louis against the American
Federation Of Labor, brought to en-
join the federation, with it's member
ship Of over 100000 persons, from
boycotting the products of the plain
tiff company, was given hearing be-
fore Justice Gould in the supreme
court of the District of Columbia The
case has attracted widespread inter.
est because of the effect of the ulti.
mate action on vital principles of or.
ganized labor and possible far-reach.
ing developments of a political ma.
ture. It is generally understood that
whether the prosecution or the de.
tense wins in the decision of the dis
trict court the case will be carried to
the supreme court of the United
States.
The bill of equity in the case cites
the powerful organization of the fed
GRAFTON and the methods by which, it
is claimed, the entire forces of the
federation are concentrated on an es
pecial boycott. In this case, while
the application of the Sherman anti
trust law is only incidentally in
volyed, it does involve the question
important to business interests, as to
whether the unfair" and eve don't
patroniZe" lists as published in the
Federationist constitute an unlawful
boycott.
The plaintiffs presented lengthy af
fidavits as to The operation of the fed.
GRAFTON, upon which they claimed a
preliminary injunction should be
granted. Counsel for the defense OBJ,
jected to these afhdavits on the
ground that there was hardly salient
feature in any of them that was not
hearsay. The defense contended that
the proceeding was an attempt to in.
woke the Sherman antitrust law with
out warrant therefor; that it was an
attempt to bring into the jurisdiction
of-the courts of the District of Colum
bia people from all parts Of the coun
try and that the subject was not a
proper one for injunction. They ar.
que that the FederaJionist simply pub

DDS of Reform,

Hartford, Conn.,, Nov 15.-At the
convention of the National Grange
Charles F. Mellen, president Of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
railroad, was the chief speaker. Mr..
Mellen has long been regarded as one
of President Roosevelt's close friends,
but on this occasion he used language
severely criticising the president and
his attitude toward corporations,
though he did not call the president
by name.
'.'This country has been having the
time of it's life. We have been chas.
ing the corporations until it has got
on our nerves. We are tired Of the
life We have been leading. We have
got to rest. When we awake it will
appear to have been costly dream
When we have mended the smashed
furniture, the broken crockery, we
will lay by for time and accumulate
the wherewithal to repair the waste
Of our debauch.
''We may not think quite so well
Of ourselves for some time; our lead
ers will not look quite so large in our
eyes again, but we forget quickly.
Cali knowledge is expensive. We
must not demur to paying our bills.
We can now reflect upon the cause
for all our excitement. We can see
that the remedies could otherwise
better have been applied, but we were
impatient-we wanted to do it day
before yesterday in the strong arm,
brass band fashion, and we have done
1t, and we are going to have time
now for contemplation of our work
and consider whether we went about
it in the wisest way or whether our
temper got the better of our judg-
ment."
