PRESIDENTS SUMMER
VACATION AT AN END
Returns to Washington for Last
Winter in White House.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept. 23.-Theo-
dore Roosevelt's final summer vaca-
ton during his present term of Office
as president of the United States
came to an end when, with his family
and members of the summer White
House executive staff, he departed
amid cheers from a throng of resi-
dents for the White House at Wash
ington. At the same time Oyster Bay
ceased to be the summer capital of
the United States, title it has proud
ly held for seven years.
In several respects this has been an
exceptional vacation for the president.
He has entertained at Sycamore Hill
more visitors than before and at the
same time has done much more work
than on previous vacations. The polit-
ical situation, both national and state,
have made a tremendous amount of
work for him and kept the staff of
the executive Offices busy day and
night.
Mr.. Roosevelt returns to Washing
ton in splendid health and much bene-
flied by his vacation. He has spent
much time in reading and has in
formed himself from books regarding
that part of Africa which he is to
visit on his hunting trip next year.
He has :sread up on the habits of the
animals there and has been perfect
ing his plans, selecting parts of his
outfit and getting as nearly ready as
possible for his big hunt.

TAWNEY DEFENDS CANNON
Says Lower House Was in HARMONY
With Roosevelt.

with hooSeveIt.
Chicago, Sept. 23.-Congressman J.
A. TaWney of Minnesota, chairman of
the appropriations committee of the
house of representatives and vice
chairman of the Republican congress
sional campaign committee, made a.
vigorous defense of Speaker Cannon
and the house of representatives when
commenting on the recent letter of
President Roosevelt.
"The letter of the president" said
Mr.. Tawney, lis a conclusive answer
to the charge that has been so indus
trfously circulated by the Democrats
that congress has been hostile to the
president and his policies.
t'The letter shows, too, that the leg
islative and executive branches of the
government, while under the control
of the Republican party, have been
working in entire harmony in the en-
actment of the progressive policies of
the party and the president.
..There is perhaps no claim thus far
made by the Democrats that has been
more potent in arousing the preiudices
Of the people against congress than
the totally unfounded claim of hostil-
'ity>on the part of congress toward i'm
portant measures recommended by
the president"

The fire bell was tapped, and within
ten minutes from the time the word
was received, thirty-two men with
buckets and other trimmings for
fighting fire at close range boarded
two handcars and started for Shevlin
reaching there at $50 o'clock, to
find that the fire had jumped the R.
r. track and was within control Of
the fire fighters of Shevlin and vicin-
ity.
Arrangements were made to take
the steam engine to Shevlin on the
midnight passenger, if its services
had been required, "
Considerable hay and cord wood
was destroyed, but so far as known,
no farm buildings that were occupied,
were destroyed. A watchfu] eye is
being kept on the fires in hopes that
they can be kept in check until rain
relieves the situation.

NEVER LEGALLY MARRIED
Many Foreigners Believe License All
s. That Is Necessary.

That Is Necessary.
Wallace, Ida, Sept. 23.-Investiga-
ton by the county recorders depart
ment of Shoshone county has brought
to light an extraordinary condition of
affairs with regard to the issuance of
marriage licenses. For months the
department has been puzzled at the
bon-return of marriage licenses issued
to Finlanders, Poles and others of for
eign nationality, of whom there are
many employed in the mines. No Of
fetal notice has ever been taken Of
this, as the department was under the
impression that many of the marriages
had been performed in other counties
and returns made there. Accidentally,
however,, it was discovered that for
years foreigners we're under the i'm
preston that all that was necessary
to consummate marriage was SIM
ply the taking out of a license and no
minister of the gospel or justice of the
peace was employed to perform the
ceremony. In one case a marriage
license was found framed in a cabin
just as issued by the county recorder
years ago and family of seven chill
dren had been raised.

BALLOON Man FOR FAIR
WILL BE HERE TONIGHT
Forest Fire Scare Caused Query from
Aeronaut as to Destruction Of
Bemidji.

The scare occasioned by forest
fires which were very threatening in
the vicinity of Bemidji yesterday,
prior to the rain, nearly interferred
with the balloon ascensions, which
will be given as one of the princi-
pal attractions at the county fair
Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
The report Of the fire was known
at St. Paul, and the P. J. Paul Bal
loon company, which is furnishing
the balloon rider, together with the
balloon and parachute apparatus,
telegraphed to w. R. Mackenzie as
follows:
st. Paul, Sept. %.
w. R. Mackenzie, Bemidji, Mimi:

forest fires. Shall we ship balloon?
Answer.

this vicinity this afternoon. We
expect you: don't fail to come
The aeronaut will arrive on the
M. & I. train this evening and will
have his balloon ready preparatory
to making his first ascension and
parachute leap on the grounds
tomorrow.
The "Flying Riggses" arrived in
the city last evening and are
ready to do their two turns a
day, starting tomorrow. !
Both of the attractions are the
very best of their kird and will
add greatly to the features of the
fair.

Bagley, Sept. 23-(Special to the
Pioneer. "A heavy timber fire ragged
yesterday between Bagley and
Shevlin. The hard wind from the
northwest was driving the fire toward
Shevlin with such rapidity that at 8
o'clock last night word came by tele-
phone that Shevlin was in danger.

The six-month-old baby girl of
William Ellis of this city died this
morning. It succumbed to an ILL
ness that is prevalent among the

The child is one of pair of twins,
the other being very ill and not
expected to live, so it is reported.

FOREST FIRE THREATENS
DESTRUCTION OF SHEVILN
Town Full of Smoke and Flames Coming Closer-Great
Danger if Wind Shifts.-Fires in This Vicinity
Checked by Rain.

been fighting forest fires yesterday
and today and by hard work the
spreading of the fires west and
northeast of this place towards the
village has been prevented.
The fire, which has ragged
ferceIy over several miles north
east of here, has approached to
within about two and half
miles of Shevlin and but for the
fact that the weather has been
calm and there has teen no wind
to speak of from that direction, the
fire has been checked at that
point.
The fire one and one-half miles
west of Shevlin is not as large as the
one northeast of here and it is be-
lieved that this fire can easily be
controlled, and confined to it's
present area.
The rain which fell at Bemidji
yesterday afternoon did not reach
Shevlin and was too far removed to
have any effect on the fires in this
immediate vicinity.
Everybody in this part of the
country is fighting fires and if the
weather remains calm it is believed
that the fires will be gotten under
control. However, should a wind
arise from either the north or north
east, there is grave danger that the
fire will spread to the village and
cause much damage.

GUILTY OF VARIOUS CRIMES
Son Of Millionaire Alleged to Have
Confessed.

Son Of Millionaire Alleged to Have
Confessed.
San Francisco, Sept. 23.-Charles
Boyle, former student of Stanford
university, son of Henry Boyle, a
millionaire property holder of Seattle
and Oakland, and member of family
conspicuous In the exclusive society
circles of San Raphael, is alleged to
have made confession to a number of
crimes committed in Marion county
last spring. According to Sheriff Tay-
lor, who interviewed young Boyle in
Jail at Salinas, the prisoner admitted
that he had held up fifteen men in the
National hotel bar at San Raphael
and seriously wounded a constable;
that he had attacked young woman
xith club and pursued another and
was guilty of other offenses which for
time terrified a quiet community.
The sheriff is at loss to apply mo-
tive for the young mans participation
in the crimes.

Telephone Crew Begins Work.

j The first construction crew who
will do the repairing on the North
western Telephone exchange here, in
charge of D. K. Carpenter, arrived
in Bemidji last night and from now
on the work of repairing this
exchange will be pushed. 1t will
probably take anywheres from a
month to six weeks to finish the
reconstruction of the exchange.
There are other crews expected, but
this crew was first to arrive and will
do the rough work. q

Chinese Angry at French.

Canton, China, Sept 23.-There is
intense indignation among the Chinese
against the French over an incident
which occurred here. The Chinese au-
thorities tried to arrest some supposed
native pirates who were on the steam
or Paul Beau of the Messageries Mar
thine company, but the captain, backed
up by the French consul, refused to
permit it, contending that the suspect
ed men should be arrested on their
landing. During the wrangle which
ensued the supposed pirates escaped.

DEPENDS ON The WIND.

FifieId, Wis.,, May Escape Destruction
by Forest Fires.
Fifeld, Wis, Sept. 23.-Fifeld's
fate depends on the wind. There
seems little prospect of rain to put out
the smouldering fires all around the
town, but if the wind does not rise
so as to fan the flames up there is no
danger of their getting beyond control
as far as entering Fifield is concerned.
While the fires are burning on all
sides they are most dangerous on the
southeast and are so close there that
a high wind such as blew Sunday
would undoubtedly set the town afire.

Local Fires Extinguished.

The rain of yesterday after
noon wet the timber so thor
oughly that all immediate danger
to the city from forest fires has
been abated. Had the rain not
come when it did, there is little
doubt but that the fire from the
northwest would have swept
through the woods in the direc-
ton of this city, endangering
loss to property.
The rain also stopped the fire
south of Bemidji, which is still
burning to some extent, however,
in the Lake George country.
Shevlin, Sept. 23-3 p. m.-(Spec
ial to Pioneer.)-During the last
three hours the fire which has ragged
northwest of Shevlin is coming
closer to town and has been bearing
right unto the village and the same
is true of the fire from the west of
Shevlin, which is also close to the
village.
The wind is blowing the fire away
to certain extent and although the
village is filled with dense smoke,
it is not believed that the town will
be destroyed, unless the wind should
shift and bring the flames into
Shevlin.
However, the town is deserted
and everybody is out fighting fires.
1t is hoped that the town can be
saved from destruction if the wind
does not shift to the north and bring
the flames into town.
