hot BASEBALL GAME ON;
PRINTS vs.. BARTENDERS
Printers Will Present Fairly Good
Ball Team to Go Against
the Bartenders.

Ri
The printers employed in the
Offices of the Daily Pioneer, Even
ing News and the Sentinel will play
game of ball against the bar
tenders of the city Sunday afternoon
at the baseball park.
The game will consist of five
innings of strenuous exemplifcation
of the great national pastime, and
promises to be the principal event
in baseball circles this year.
Among the players on both teams
are a few old-timers who have got
the nerve to think they are still in
it with the present generation of
ball tossers.
The lineup of the printers team
will be as follows:
A. Rauk, c; Rutledge, p; ]. Mark
ham, lb; Larson, 2b; Carson or
Hendry, 3b; Clark, IS. w. Bran
nan, #; Anderson, CT; K. Rauk, C.
Christensen or A. B. Allen, If,
The game will be called at $50,
and no admission fee will be charged.
Those who desire to see the most
bitterly contested game of baseball
ever played in the city should be on
hand early and avoid the rush.

THE BR|NKMAN GETTING
BIG CROWDS EVERY NIGHT
Program Of Vaudeville, Pictures and
Illustrated Song is Making
Decided Hit.

The Standing Room Only" sign
has been out at the Brinkman
Family Theater nearly all this
week, the splendid program being
given at that place attracting large
crowds to the popular amusement
headquarters.
The vaudeville features have been
especially strong this week, the two
acts being better than the ordinary
run of entertainment given here.
Jolly Zebb," the tramp, is the
very best Characterization Of this
kind ever in Bemidji. His fun is
irresistably funny.
The violin playing of Miss Marie
Stuart Dodd was revelation to the
crowds. The lady is a finished
musician, and her numbers are al
ways encored.
The illustrated song. Don't Leave
the Old Folks, Jenny as sung by
Miss Anna Hager, is neat ballad
with a pleasing refrain that takes
well.
The moving pictures are a change
from the usual run, and are really
first class.

tary academy at West Point and was
graduated from that institution, re.
ceiving his commission in the artil.
lery.
At the outbreak of the Civil war
General Lee resigned his commission
in the United States army and en-.
tered the Confederate, serving in Vir-
ginfa until after the battle of Ante
tam, when he was made brigadier gen
eral and sent to Vicksburg.
General Lee played a prominent
part in the siege of Vicksburg and
following the fall of that city was
taken a prisoner. He was later ex.
changed and promoted to the rank of
major general and ordered to the
Southwest.
He was subsequently assigned to
the Army of the Tennessee, with the
rank of lieutenant general, and served
until the close of hostilities.
An incident in connection with Gen
eral Stephen D. Lees military career
not generally known is the fact that
he directed the firing of the first shot
Of the Civil war. He was one Of the
two officers of the South Carolina
troops sent by General Beauregard to
demand the surrender of Fort Sumter
and on the refusal of this demand he
ordered the first battery to fire on
the fort.

MANY CONTESTS ON HAND
Republican National Committee Holds
Balance of Power.


Chicago, May 29.-With contests for
more than 200 seats to be decided the
balance Of power of the Republican
national convention will lie in the
hands of the national committee next
week, when that body convenes to
make up the temporary roll.
Although the Taft managers insist
that they have enough votes to nom
mate their candidate on the first bal
lot, even though all the contests be
decided against them, his opponents
declare that his total strength of the
uncontested delegates on the first bal
lot will be about $50, or 14O less than
1t would take to nominate him. AS
result it will be necessary for his
friends to secure favorable decision
from the committee in large major
ity of the contests. s
In practically all of the contests the
Taft men are on the defensive and
this makes it the more critical for the
Taft boom. Another point which
makes the decision of the contests of
great Importance is the fact that with
out the votes which are being con-
tested Taft will not even control the
votes by states and this vote is neces-
sary to make up the new national com
mittee and the committee on cs~~
tials.

Notice to Fishermen.

Fishermen who are in the habit
of taking every fish that happens
to "bite'' should attend more

pike less than IA inches in length
shall be caught.
This warning will not be re-
peated. Hereafter. any person
found with pike in his possession
less than II inches in length, will
be prosecuted, to the fullest extent
of the law.

BENEFITS OF IRRIGATION.

1t is doubtful if there is an Industrial
enterprise which has ever been under
taken by the federal government which
gives promise of having such far
reaching and benefcent effects as that
which has been inaugurated under the
irrigation reclamation service under
the direction Of the department of
agriculture. While a dozen or more
separate irrigation projects have been
undertaken under the terms of the
Carey act, the Truckee- Carson project
was the first to be completed, and
such marvellous results have been at
tanned through the application of water
to heretofore arid and barren land that
the excellence Of this piece of legisla-
tion has been demonstrated beyond the
question Of doubt giving additional
impetus and meaning to every other
similar project which has been started.
By means of the irrigation system re-
ferred to water Is taken from the
Truckee river ten miles above Wads-
worth, New, and carried to the channel
Of the Carson river by a canal thirty
miles long. On JAM 1. 1906, $4,000
acres OF land had been brought under
irrigation In the Carson river valley.
and this has been nearly doubled since
that time. Grain and fruit are now
