CROPS IN THE VALLEY
SUFFER|NG-RA|N NEEDED
Senator Works Says There Has Been
No Rain IN Red River Valley Since
June 10.

State Senator S. D. Works of
Mankato, who owns much land in
parts of northern Minnesota, arrived
in the city Yesterday from Crook
ston, where he had been to look over
the crop conditions on 5000 acres
of Red River Valley lands which he
owns and his reports of the crops
are not very encouraging.
THE extreme dryness during the
past six weeks has done much: dam.
age to the crops in the Red River
Valley" says Senator Works.
There has not been a good rain
since June 18th, and the farmers in
the western part of north central
Minnesota are greatly worried al
the prospects for poor crops this fall.
The grain came up finely and
promised one of the most bountifu.
crops in the history of the Valley
but from the middle of June, with nc
rain, the grain has been looking
poorly.
They must have rain over west
or there will be a comparatively
poor CROP"

Cass Lake 9, Deer River 5,

Cass Lake, Aug. 3.-(Special to
Pioneer.) -Cass Lake yesterday

on the diamond when she trimmed
the Peoples Brewery team from
Deer River by the score of 9 to S.
Lyons was in the box for Deer
River, but was unable to keep the
ball away from the Cass Lake
batsmen. He struck out but four
men and allowed hits. His sup
port was very week at times. Grady
was in the box for Cass Lake the
first seven innings and struck out
IL men and allowed two hits.
Codrell twirled the other two,
tanning four men and not allowing a
safe hit.

been working out of Gemmell fol
some time past. One crew is at
present at Funkley, where the
ballasting has been completed from
Gustafson's Spur to that place, and
the crew is now working north of
Funkley. The steam shovel, which
has been working in a gravel pit at
Gemmell is to be removed to Lavinia
and the two trains will haul gravel
from that place for the purpose of
ballasting the railroad north from
Bemidji to Blackjack. ~rs4
When the work of ballasting all of
this road north of Bemidji is COM
pleted, the M. & 1. will have a
track on which it can make most
excellent time with the passenger
trains from Bemidji to the inter-
national border.

The fourth annual season of the
Bemidji Bible Conference closed
with yesterdays programs in the
churches and the outdoor meetings
which were held in the forenoon
and the evening. The conference
brought to the city some of the best
Bible instructors and most promin-
ent divines in the country.
The Conference was productive of
much good. One unfortunate feature
of the conference was the undue
publicity which was given before the
event to the fact that there were a few
cases of smallpox in the city. The
number was multiplied until many
who had intended to come to the
conference stayed away and the
attendance was not what could be
desired. However, what was lack
ing in numbers was made up in
spirit, and undoubtedly next year
the conference will be the best of it's
kind ever held in the city.

THE BIBLE CONFERENCE
WAS CLOSED YESTERDAY
Was One of the Most Successful Gatherings of the
Kind That Has Ever Been Held in the North
Half of the State.

Of Solomon, with flowers, fruits
gentle breezes and love.
We come next to the seventeen
halls of prophecy; five great and
twelve small ones, in which are
pictures of the coming King.
We now approach a newer part
of the building not separated from
the building but closely united, and
in the first four rooms we find four
life-sized portraits of the architect
of the temple.
The first shows him as the Mes
siah, King of Jews; the second as a
Mighty man using his strength for
others. The third exhibits him as
the brother of all men and the
fourth as the Devine one from
Heaven.
We then come to the celestial
work shop, the book of Acts, with
its machinery and the whirring of
wheels, but the power is unseen.
Following we find twenty-one
rooms, the Apostolic Epistle, on the
doors of fourteen of which. we find
the name of Paul. Here are the
great doctrines of the church.
The last room may be called the
Chamber of Mysteries, with it's
lights and shadows, it's thunders and
lightnings and shouts of battle, it's
history and prophecy.
We step out on the porch and
looking across a beautiful valley see
beautiful city on an hill lighted
with the glory of God, the home of
the redeemed. Here are the trees of
life, the river of life, golden, streets,
pearly gates and walls of jasper.
This great temple of which we
have spoken is in a peculiar sense
the home of Gods people. Here they
are nourished and fed and comforted
and led, and here they find the
sweetest of fellowship with God,
for this is also Gods dwelling place
among his people.

Pioneer made an error last week in
stating that the Red River Lumber

the Akeley mill. The latter mill

ON TOMORROW:
COUNTY-CITY OFFICIALS
Annual Combat Postponed from Saturday Evening" Will
Be Pulled Off Tomorrow Afternoon at O'clock
Funds for Worthy Purpose.

: The third annual baseball game
between the officials of the City oil
Bemidji and the officials of Beitrami
county will be played Tuesday after.
noon at 4:30 o'clock, the game hav.
ing been postponed from Saturday
evening on account of wet grounds.
While the game will not be a
scientific exhibition of the great
national pastime, the contest will
undoubtedly be a good one as there
are several old-time players in the
line of both teams.
odd Hoss" Conger, who has been
feeling his oats for several days, has
charge of the county team and he
has had bunch of ball tossers out
on the lawn at the court house for
ScVcIdl dltcI Moons.
So strenuous has been the prac-
tice of "Old Hoss" Conger that
several hundred feet of lawn has been
tramped into earth and the tops OF
some of the trees have been tore off
by the vicious hits made. "Reddy'
Riddell will catch for the county
team and will have as his side
kicker" F. w. Rhoda, who will
whirl 'em over for the county team.
For the city team Mayor Pogue
has Billie Collins behind the bat
with Policeman Richie in the box
Just what kind of a battery this will
make is a question for argument as
"Bill' is a red hot ball player and
he is pretty nearly whole team in
himself, and when he is backed by

Owens Erecting a New Building.

V. NJ. Owens of Hines, who
suffered disastrous fire at that
place last spring, has started new
building at Hines. The building
will occupy site on the west side
of the railroad track atlHines, being
on the opposite side from the ILL
fated building that was destroyed.
The fire which destroyed the
Owen building, last February, was
one of the most heart-rending
holacusts in the history Of northern
Minnesota. Three people persisted
in the fire, the scene at the fire
being beyond description.

snch old time opponents of the game
as Bill" Love, Walter Gould, Thomas
Smart and Charley Knox the bunch
will be simply irresistible.
Ike Black has been engaged to
umpired but if it is impossible for
him to be here someone with equal
authority will be given sufficient
armament to properly handle the
abstreperous crowd that will play
tomorrow afternoon.
Everybody in Bemidji should
attend this ball game. The proceeds
will be used for the purpose of
paying the balance due on the Chief
Bemidji monument and is certainly
worthy cause.

come to the gymnasium, the Book of

and exercised, but his faith is able
to withstand these trials; then we
come to the great music hall, the
Psalms, with solos, choruses and
trumpets and other musical instru-
ments with a continual voicing OF
praise to God.
Then we have the chamber OF
commerce with it's rules for the
practical affairs of life and this is
followed by the labratory of the

PRINCE Hal WAS SECOND
IN BIG RACE AT ''FORx''
Newspaper Reports Say Did Not Seem
to be Driven Out by
Barnes.

Prince Hail., the speedy PAGER
owned by Begsley and Gunsalus of
this city won second money in the
free-for-all race at the Grand Forks
fair last Friday; and Judging from
newspaper reports, he could have
won the race, had his driver, Barney
Barnes of Winnipeg, put the horse
through from the start of each heat.
The Grand Forks Herald of Sat-
urday says of the race:
Prince Hal, the Bemidji flyer,
was picked up by many to land the
free-for-all, but Robert Lee, the
trim little black gelding owned
at Killarney, Man., took the race
in three heats. Prince Hal did
not seem to be driven to his
limit and was kept too far behind
in the first half of each mile to
make up the distance in the last
half, although he tried nobly when
called upon. III
Robert Lee and Tommy Grattan
were off in the lead in the first
heat, with Prince Hal third and
Byron K, who was never a con-
tender in the race, fourth. The
two lead horses paced together
for the entire course, but the black
was too speedy and won easily in
the stretch, with Prince Hal good
third. *.a.*
Robert Lee took the lead in the
second heat, with Tommy Grattan
second and Prince Hal third. They
kept the same positions for three
quarters of a mile, when Tommy
Grattan broke. The Bemidji horse
came up strong, but his driver
had misjudged the distance and
the sprint came too late, Robert
Lee taking the heat in handy
style.
Robert Lee got big lead in the
third heat and Prince Hal was toe
far back at the end of the first hall
to be strong contender for first
+ Just why Barnes has been driv
ing Prince" in the manner he has
is quite plain. The Bemidji horse
easily defeated Robert Lee al
Portage La Prairie and again al
Winnipeg; and Barnes told the
writer that Prince" had it or
Robert at all times. The fact tina,
Barnes also drives for Carson O.
Winnipeg, who has had the poo
privileges at all of these race meets
may have something to do with
Barnes handling of the rains owe

OM|CH & YOUNG MAKING
SPLENDID CEMENT BLOCK
Have the Latest Machinery, and Are
Manufacturing Superior Brand of
the Blocks.

]. P. Omich and Harry Young
have organized an Anchor Concrete
Block company and have placed on
the market a news brand of cement
blocks that are rapidly gaining great
favor with the people.
Messrs. Omich and Young have
established a plant over near the Y
near the Red Lake railroad where
their new brand of blocks will be
turned out. These blocks are the
very latest and best of their kind
and claim is made for them that
they have a continuous air space;
moisture proof and can be plastered
on without lathing or stripping with
perfect safety; and that they have
any width from eight to twelve
inches.
Anchor concrete stone machinery
is the result of the recognized neces
sity for a perfected system for the
manufacture of concrete stone with
a continuous air space.
In the great revival of the manu-
facture of stone products, it wa:
natural that those contrivances anc
appliances readiest at hand should
be used in the beginning;-plair
moulds of wood making solid con
crete stone, followed by numerou:
machines making stone with varjou:
shaped holes or so-called air spaces
That there was room for great
improvement, no one who has
studied the subject will deny. The
anchor machinery is a distinct anc
radical Improvement over former
methods is susceptible of such plain
convincing proof that no disinter
ested investigator will question the
/ fact.

the conference.
Last night DR.. Soltau spoke in the
city hall on BE We Reconciled to
God?"
If we would consult our common
sense and a few Christian workers,
and especially consult the Word of
God, we would find that it is neces-
sary for us to be in harmony with
God for God has all power and we
have nothing with which to fight
against Him. Our opinions are not
any weapons; our sins certainly are
useless and how can we face God or
fight against Him when we are so
weak and helpless.
We need an ambassador to come
to us and impress upon us the
necessity of being at peace with our
Heavenly Father; not that He is
angry with us, but that we have
turned away from him. Why does
God hate sin? First because it
invaded the realm of Heaven and
brought sorrow there; second, it
invaded our fair earth which God
made and brought decay, suffering
and sorrowing here; third, it has
brought pain and aches and suffer
ing to those people which God has
made and fourth, it has made it
impossible for one made in the image
of God to develop likeness; fifth, it
has wrecked the moral character of
man, and sixth, the last and largest,
see what it has done for the Son of
God: marred and SCARED his face
and crowned Him with thorns,
scourged and beat because of sin
and nails driven through His hands
and placed on the cross on account
of sin.

A RARE ALRINo TERRAPIN.

In one of its turtle tanks the aqua
rum has now on exhibition striking
novelty, an lbino diamond back ter
rapin. Albinos among turtles are
rare.
The diamond back terrapin has nat
urally a shell Of a very black brown
that appears almost black when wet.
The albino, whose top shell is about
seven inches in length, is Of a light
yellow or creamy tint, it's head and
legs being still lighter in color; it lacks
only the pink eyes usually found
among albinos.
This terrapin was found in the salt
marshes of Texas. It was presented
to the aquarium by Cheesebro Bros. of
Fulton market,
