The Gold in the spo/ GLARS.


Genuine ruby glass is eX sns.ye be-
cause lit is prepared with gold 1t
owes it's color to the presence
throughout its mass of particles of
gold too small to be seen With the
microscope.
Only the ultramicroscope, which
renders visible objects perceptible by
means of their diffusion of light, is
able to show the existence Of these
minute particles With the ordinary
microscope the glass appears as uni
form transparent mass, but the ultra
microscope shows that 1t is filled with
points of light resembling stars on a
black background. These points indi-
cate the presence of the particles of
gold to which color Of the glass is due.

Polite Children.

1t is said that when Nacaulay, boy
of six, was asked to have some more
pudding he politely replied: Thank
you, l have enjoyed an ample suf-
ficiency."
This sage reply is matched by lit
tie Cleveland girl who, when offered
second frosted cake, showed her
excellent training by answering:
Mamma has directed me to always
refrain from taking a second piece Of
anything"
1t is gratifying to know, however,
that the childish nature promptly re-
asserted itself when the little maid
added:
But you can lay 1t on my plate.

The sort of people travelling and

very mixed. All classes and conditions
of men are now sufficiently well off to
frequent the more expensive places.
A lady found herself recently placed

maker and the owner of shop where
she bought her perfumery, while a

"|S|NETTA" PROMISES TO
MAKE A GREAT RECORD
J. W. lrWin's Great Little Pacing Mare
Has Been Showing Great Form .
This Season. ~

The friends of J. w. Irwin, who
has made his home in this city for
the last ten years, are congratulate
ing him on the fine showing which
is being made by his fast little pac-
ing mare, "Isinetta." a.
Isinetta' was bought by Irwin
from w. ]. Phelps in this city in
1906, and considerable local inter-
est is taken in the horse since
she became the property of Mr..
Irwin. The little mare was care
fully trained by Mr.. Phelps and has
at all times exhibited a world of
speed. She was started in her race
for the first time last year and it
was with considerable difficulty that
her driver could pull "Isinetta"
sufficient to prevent her winning
races in record breaking time.
AS it was, she gotta record which
placed her in the 2:2O, class, and at
the close of last season great things
were predicted for her by horsemen
throughout the northwest.
Last winter Mr.. Irwin placed the
little mare in the hands of George
Loomas with instructions to fit her
in the best possible condition for
the best races of her career this
summer. She has been entered in a
large number of the stake races on
the grand circuit, and as a sort of
trying out for her she was sent to
| Brandon to enter the races at that
| place last week. She won the $4,000
2:19 pacing race at Brandon, in
three straight heats, finishing each
heat in a slow jog. .~.
Isinetta was shipped to Spring
field, ILL.,, where she will start next
week in 2:13 class~pacing race for
a large purse. She will then be
taken to Buffalo, and Kalamazoo,
Mich.
| In her rounds of the grand cir.
cult Isinetta will probably be pitted
against horses like Minor Heir,
when she will be compelled to 60
her best in order to e get the money"
However, it is believed that she
can deliver the goods" and Mr..
Irwin is confident that he will win a
large sum of money with his little
mare this week. ~. p

and PIaner and Will Undoubtedly

The Douglass Lumber company
of this city, which has manufac-
tured lumber, lath and shingles here
for some time past, has decided to
engage in the retail lumber business
and with that end in view, is es-
tablishing yards in this city.
The Douglass Lumber company
purchased land on Lake Irving dur
ling the fall of 1906 and at once
erected a mill for the manufacture
of lath and shingles. The venture
was very successful, and last fall the
company decided to enlarge their
plant. They put in a considerable
quantity of new machinery and
for several months past have manu-
featured all kinds of lumber, includ-
ing the finished product from their
planning mill.
The demand for their output was
such that the company decided to
engage in the retail business and
has already established nice trade
throughout North Dakota and north.
ern Minnesota.
The company has a large quantity
of lumber on hand and is adding tc
this stock in order to supply the
demand which will undoubtedly be
made through the company's retail
trade.
H. N. Douglass is president of the
Douglass Lumber company, with
F. R. Patterson treasurer and J. ]
Anderson secretary, all of whom
make their homes in Bemidji.
The company has an enviable
reputation for square dealing, which
undoubtedly has much to do with
the large patronage they enjoy.
The Douglass company will
handle all kinds of lumber, lath
shingles, siding-in fact everything
in the building line.

inexcusable erorors, and at times
playing sensational ball.

Scribner, for Northome, did the

Northome forged score ahead in.
their half of the sixth inning, but
the locals secured two runs in their
half and were one to the good.

hitting and fast work on the bases,
Northome showed four more RUS

Kelliher could not overcome, and

MILLS WILL BE OPERATED
NIGHTS REST OF SEASON
Bemidji Lumber Company Will Begin Night Saving Mon
day Night, and Crookston Company Will Begin
Night Operations About August First. -

1t is announced that the Bemidji
Lumber company will start running
their local mills nights on next
Monday.
Following the announcement of
the Bemidji Lumber company it is
also stated that the Crookston Lum.
Der company will also start their
mills nights beginning August 1.
Both lumber companies have
large quantities of logs which they
desire to manufacture into lumber
which will necessitate the running
of day and night shift from the
present time until probably fall
freezing.
The result of saving nights in the
mills will necessitate the employing
of sixty-fve more men at the Bemid j
Lumber company's plant and 125 in

the Crookston company's plant.
This means considerable addition
to the payrolls of both companies,
bringing more money in circulation
among the local business men.
It is interesting to note that the
big sawmill of the Red River Lum-
Der company at Akeley will shut
down tomorrow night, which will
mean throwing several hundred
men out of employment, most of
whom will come to Bemidji.
The lumber companies do not fear
lack of men for their night operations.
