skaters crossed the line he was
abreast of Holzer, winning by two
full laps.
Thorpe showed that he is a strong.
fast skater, and always has reserve
speed to use at any time. He has
good wind, and the local people
who saw the race last evening
are of the opinion that the speedy
Fargoan can easily defeat Harry
Carpenter, the Crookston skater,
who claims to be the fastest man in
this section. Thorpe is very anxi-
Gus to skate a series of races against
Carpenter, and local people today
sent Carpenter a challenge to skate
against Thorpe, on the Bemidji
rink, for purse of from $50 to 800
a side, with gate receipts arranged
to suit the skaters, the races to be
run within the next ten days.

AL. THORPE SHOWED FINE
FORM RACING LAST NIGHT
Won, by Two Laps, in Three-Mie Race Against Hozer
and Adams.-Thorpe Will Skate Mile Race
Against Time Tonight.

In splendid exhibition of speed
skating, Al. Thorpe of Fargo,
claimant of the small-rink roller
skating championship of the north
west, easily defeated two local
skaters last night, in a three-mile
race, in which Thorpe skated the
full three miles and the local men
relieved each other twice.
Thorpe won the race by two laps,
finishing strong, his time for the
distance being eleven minutes, thir-
teen and one. half seconds, which is
considered very fast for a twenty
one lap rink.
Holzer, formerly Of Fargo, and
Adams, an old Duluth boy who is
floor manager of the local rink, were
chosen to 20 against the Fargo
champion. Holzer skated the first
twenty-four laps, being then relieved
by Adams, who in turn gave way to
Holzer at the end of the forty-eight
lap.
w. H. Rennier, James Foss and
A. L. Wyler acted as judges; Ray
Dennis kept track of laps, and A. G..
RutIedge acted as starter and time
keeper.
Thorpe started out fast and CON-
pleted the first mile in three minutes
and twenty-one seconds. He gained
three-quarters of a lap on Holzer,
before Adams relieved the latter,
and Immediately steamed up" and
soon had lap to the good"
Thorpe passed Adams and gained
steadily until he was a lap and
half ahead. With three laps to go,
Thorpe hit 'er up" and as the two

Tonight's Races.

The races at the rink this evening
promise to be very interesting and a
large crowd should turn out and see
the events.
Thorpe will skate an exhibition
mile against time, and the sturdy
little speeder is determined to set a
mark for all skaters of the northwest
for a twenty-one lap rink. As he is
very fast, the spectators will see
some going.'
In addition to Thorpe's exhibition
mile, Holzer and Adams will skate
one-mile race, for a purse.
The races will be pulled off at OILS
o'clock, and there will be skating
before and after the contests.

USED A KNIFE IN A ROW
AT AYMoRE LAST NIGHT
John CoIeman's Throat Was Gashed bv
Peter Palmer During a Heated
Alteration.

AS result of a quarrel in a
Nymore saloon, at late hour last
night, John Coleman lies at the St..
Anthony's hospital in this city with
a cash in his throat, and Peter
Palmer, his assailant, is lodged in
the county jail awaiting hearing
on the charge of assault with dam
gerous weapon.
Accounts differ somewhat as to
how the ARRAY occurred, but it ap-
pears that Coleman and Palmer had
gotten into an alteration, in Cole.
mans saloon, Coleman accusing
Palmer of being too intimate with
his (Coleman's) wife. Just as to
who was the aggressor in the mix-up
is not plain, but during the melee
Coleman's throat was badly gashed
with knife.
Palmer was taken into custody by
Marshal Glidden of Nymore and
brought to Bemidji and locked up in
the county Jail, being taken to the
county jail at an early hour this
morning.
Palmer is a millwright in the
employ of the Bemidji Lumber com.
pany.
Coleman's physician state that
while the wound is a very painful
one, it is not necessarily dangerous.

full.
Would say that through the
efforts of the forestry board this
year we have secured a contract
with the Pine Tree Lumber com.
pany, by which they are to donate
to the state all their land within the
park limits, amounting to $500
acres together with all the pine,
spruce, tamarack, cedar and balsam,
under eight inches in diameter, and
the hardwoods of every descrip.
ton. The consideration for this is
that the state shall permit them to
hold this timber free from taxation
for ten years.
The forestry board will ask the
legislatures permission to make a
contract of this kind, and we believe
that the legislature will grant it, but
will provide means for the payment
of the taxes on this timber to Clear
water county, out of the state funds.
1T has been the object of the
forestry board to assist so far as
possible in the development of the
surrounding country, and to this
end it has co-operated with the
supervisors of the adjoining towns,
and will cooperate, so far as may
be, to secure good roads along the
park boundaries.
So far as the forestry school is
concerned, feel that it has been a
success, and that it is destined to
become an interesting and important
feature. Possibly might to advant-
age say few words as to what was
done in this forestry school. Three
forenoons in the week were devoted
to surveying, under Prof. J. p.
Stewart, one of the best surveyors to
be found in this country. Three
forenoons in the week were used by
the students for cruising timber,
under the direction of Profs. E. G..
Cheyney. Five afternoons were

Samuel B. Green. professor oil
forestry in the department of agri-
culture at st. Anthonv's Park, has
made the following communication
to the Bemidji Daily Pioneer, ans.
wering some charges recently made
by E. R. Dampier, county attorney
of Hubbard county:
Editor Bemidji Pioneer, Bemidii,
MINI.
Dear Sir:-Replying to a request
to answer certain charges made
against the Forestry Board and N.Y.
self in particular, as to the manage
ment of Itasca State Park, the
following statements have appeared
in your columns:
1. That during the past year
there were twenty-one students in the
Park, and that the professors and
their friends, who were there at the
expense of the state numbered
twenty-four.
2. Prof. Green's work this year
was mostly political, for he put in
the greater part of the summer enter
tanning politicians at the expense
of the state.
3. That the students accomp-
lished anything more important than
running 120 acres of the best pine on
the park is yet to be proven, but
that they did this much is well
known
In reply to these criticisms
would say, first, to be accurate there
were Is students in the park, and
that, all told, there was a total of
eight professors during the whole
season, although a number of them
we're there for only a week, while
they were giving instructions; that
of these professors, only one, the
assistant professor of forestry, recei-
we'd any pay whatever for his work
in teaching, but the expense of the
professors were paid to and from the
Park and their board while in the
park, by the state. The families of
the professors, in every instance
paid the regular charge of four dol
lars per week for board.
The boarding house was man.
aged on the cooperative plan, not
by the state, but by the students
themselves, and the state did not
pay the board for any of the
students, nor for their travelling ex-
penses in any way. The students,
in addition to paying their expenses
and board, were required to pay a
registration fee of five dollars for
the whole course.
Replying to No. 2, I was entitled
to vacation last year as a professor
in the university, but instead
of taking it, I preferred to work
in Itasca park, without any addi-
tional compensation, simply for
the purpose of building up this
forestry school, and in this way
encouraging forestry. I felt it
absolutely necessary that some
of our public men should know just
what was being done in the way of
forestry education and be better in
formed as to the needs of forestry
in this state and on this account,
we had five members of the present
legislature visit our camp during the
summer, but in no case did the state
pay any portion of their travelling
expenses or board while in the park.

PROFESSOR GREEN TELLS
OF FORESTRY BOARD WORK
Takes Issue with E. r. Dampier as Manner in Which
the Forestry School Was Conducted at Itasca
State Park

g " - E :,
I was scrupulously careful about this
fact, for the reason that I have
handled state funds for nearly
twenty-one years, and know it to be
quite improper to do anything of this
sort. Where these men did not pay
their own expenses two members of
the board went down into their own
pockets and paid the bills them
selves, and they did it simply from
love of the work and desire to
see the school successful.
No. 3. To the statement that
12O acres of the best pine in the
park have been ruined, I have
nothing to say, except that the
charge is too ridiculous to reply to
and cannot be substantiated in any
way. The basis for it is probably
the fact that when the forestry board
was purchasing the state timber,
we somewhat questioned the scale
of the Board of Appraisers, and in
order to make sure that the state
was not being taken advantage of
in any way, and to protect the
states interests, I had Mr.. Dillon
Tierney, graduate of the Yale
Forestry School, who has been in
the employ of the Weyerhausers as
timber estimator and is considered
a most admirable man for such
work, go over a large portion of
the tract purchased with students,
and measure every tree. I feel that
when we get to the point that
single pine tree may be worth eight
or ten dollars, we can afford to
measure it carefully. After the boys
measured the tree they made
little chip on the side, Just so it
could be seen. The intention was
to barely chip off a little of the
outside bark, but in a few cases
the bark is Clipped. to the outside
wood, showing a space that could
be easily covered by the palm of
the hand. 1t is we'll known to every
lumberman that such marks on
trees soon grow over, and no per-
manent danger results.
Aside from the statements made
in these columns, the statement
has been made that the forestry
board has cut green timber within
the park limits and sold the same.
I think this charge is entirely
false. The timber in the park
limits was cut under the direction
of Mr.. R. C.. Arnold last winter, and
I think he was very careful in
what he did. Mr.. Arnold, however,
found it necessary to boom the tim
Der with green booming sticks, as is
customary, for dead timber is not
strong enough for this purpose.
This green timber he cut out of
group of trees that could be easily
spared, and I believe he was justi-
fled in so doing, although I was not
consulted in regard to it.
In conclusion, I would state that
the forestry board and I personally
have no desire to interfere with the
park features of Itasca State Park,
but to develop it in such a way
that it shall be a credit to the state
and a credit and pride to the people
of the state, and especially to the
citizens living in it's near vicinity.
1 have also no Interior designs on
the park, and my idea is that the
establishment of forestry school
