New Post Office Rulinu.

Mutual concessions having been
made by the government of the
United States and the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ire
land, the postofice department has
issued notice to the effect that COM
mencing Oct. 1, 1908, the postage
rate on letters mailed in the United
States and addressed for delivery in
the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland will be two cents per
ounce or fraction thereof.
Letters unpaid or shortpaid will
be dispatched. to destination but
double the deficit postage will be
collected from the addressee.
Another change which went into
effect on September 1st is that the
name of the postofice at Bridgie
(near Northome) has been changed
to Ortiz. This order was made ow-
ing to the similarity of the names
Bemidji and Bridge which often
caused poorly written letters to be
sent to the wrong addresses.

The third annual fair of the Bel
trami County Agricultural associa-
ton terminated last Saturday; and
the fair may be truthfully be said
to have been a successful one, in
so far as the management claimed
it would be-a farmers fair" .
The exhibits of grains, grasses
and root crops and vegetables was
never excelled in northern Mime
sofa, and those who entered exhib-
it's showed great interest in the out
come.
Secretary Mackenzie put forth
especial effort to have the premiums
paid promptly, and by very hard
work Saturday night until near
daylight Sunday morning, had
Gotten the records in good shape
and was prepared to issue the
checks to the prize-winners. This
was a commendable feature of the
fair, and one which will make
future fairs a success, as far as
securing exhibits is concerned. y
Instead of having the cooperation
of every citizen of Bemidji, Secre-
tary Mackenzie was harrassed by
one or two parties who are stock
holders in the agricultural associa-
ton, and who openly knocked"
the fair and everyone who had
anything to do with it, right
merrily. This underhanded method
but reacted on those who pursued
it and made them more enemies
than they now have, if that is pos
sible.
It was not the intention, in the
first place, to make this years
fair an expensive luxury that
would leave the association badly
in debt, with obligations that could
never be liq lidated. AS it now is,
the association is in fair condition,
and the checks are ready with
which to pay all the premiums.
The many farmers who partici-
pated in the fair we're profuse in
their thanks to Secretary Mackenzie
for the splendid manner in which
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1908-09-28

they were used; and all asserted
that they would be at the next
years fair.
The attendance was anything but
what the management desired, most
of the people who attended the fair
being from the country. But this,
possibly, is for the best, as the
primary intention of the fair officials
was to interest the farmers and
advance their means of livlihood.
The addresses delivered on the
second day of the fair were a rare
treat to the farmers and others inter-
ested in agriculture and dairying,
and the speakers were men who
are considered the best in the state
in their especial line. The talks
will undoubtedly be OF much benefit
to those farmers who were fortunate
enough to hear them.
Saturday was productive of miser-
able weather for the exhibition, rain
falling steadily nearly all day aud
the heavens being overcast at all
times. Secretary Mackenzie saw
that the day would be an unproft-
able, one, and cancelled the days
engagement with the balloon man
and the Flying Riggses, thus saving
the association about 800.
In spite of the rain, however, there
was fair attendance at the grounds
all day, and in the afternoon the side
lines were crowded with people to
see the football game between the
Bemidji and Fosston high school
elevens.
Altogether, the fair was a success,
and this years exhibition is salts
factory to the board of directors, as
the fair was economically managed
and everything possible was done to
curtail expenses.
Much credit is due w. R. Macken-
zie, secretary of the fair, who labored
increasingly and used splendid judy
ment in running the affair. He
was very ably assisted by Assistant
Secretary Walter Markham and Pre-
sident Malzahn.
