BOOST THE "FAlR OF 'O9."

Every resident of Bemidji, whether
engaged in business pursuits or
laboring for others, should boost"
the county fair which will be held
in this city Wednesday,, Thursday
and Friday of next week, and every
thing possible should be done to
assist President Schroeder and Sec
rotary Mackenzie in making this
fair the bannsr event in the history
of the association.
While it will be impossible for the
association to offer big purses for
horse or auto races, or speed con-
tests of any kind, yet local autoists
and horsemen have signlfied their
intention of entering into contests,
each day of the fair, that promise
fine sport. With a fine half-mlle
track, some dozen or more autos,
several horses that are really fast,
and motor cyclists from the twin
cities to participate in the events,
there will be something thrilling
going on all the time to interest
those who care for this kind of enter
tainment.
The real purpose of the fair is to
encourage, by friendly competition
among the farmers of the county,
raising of better crops, and the de-
velopment of not only the agricul-
tural resources of this section, but
also dairying and stockraising.
Liberal premiums have b e n
offered; and from present indications,
the exhibits will eclipse anything of
the kind ever shown here.
These fairs have a tendency to
bring more closely together the
farmers and the business men and
private citizens of the city, with
mutual benefit to all; and every en-
couragement, both financial and
moral, should be given the enter
prise.

Editor Oberg of the Blackjack

scent burglary in the near future.

Just how much Br'er Lafreineire
tips the scales at avoirdupois, we
are not quite certain; but if he'll
come over and repeat that insinua-
ton as to our covetousness, we'll
guarantee to put him to sleep inside
ten rounds.
Anyhow, it is altogether likely
that Br'er Oberg had hung onto"
the orders so long that they were
assigned to someone else-ice man,
or some other soulless individual
with whom we scribes must have to
do.

WORLD ACCEPTS
PEARY'S STORY
No Doubt Expressed That lie
Reached the Pole.
WILL CLAIM DISCOVERY

Intentions of Naval Explorer to As
sert Priority in Achieving the OBJ
Ject of Centuries of Endeavor Made
Manifest by Manner of His An
nouncement - Public Withholding
Judgment on the Question Pending
Further Developments.
New York, Sept. The announce
ment of Commander Peary that he has
discovered the North pole rivets the
attention of the entire civilized world
Whatever question of priority may
exist between the claims of Comman-
DER Peary and DR.. Cook there can be
no doubt that to the United States
belongs the unquestionable credit and
lasting renown of discovering the
North pole.
The remarkable coincidence OF two
American announcements of such a
colossal achievement, coming within
i've days, after centuries of fruitless
endeavor, constitutes one Of the most
remarkable condolences in history.
The question of priority in reaching
the pole now absorbs attention in this
country and Europe. That Peary will
claim to be the first discoverer ap-
pears to be definitely assured from the
following:
Serves Notice to Whole World,
First-Formal announcement has
been telegraphed from Indian Harbor,
Labrador, to all principal American
and Geographical societies of all ma
lions, including Japan and Brazil, spe-
officially announcing that "the North
pole was discovered April by the
Peary Arctic club expedition under
command of Commander Peary."
Secohd-A London dispatch re-
oeaved from St. Johns, N. F., states
that Commander Peary claims that he
was the first man to reach the North
pole.
Aside from the question of priority
commander Peary's announcement of
reaching the pole appears to be &C.
cepted throughout the United States
and the world at large by scientists
as well as the general public and
there is an absence of the doubt and
skept1cism which greeted the Cook
announcement. There is, however, ap-
parent reserve of judgment on the
question Of priority between the two
explorers.

REMAINDER OF BODY FOUND
Head and Arms Of Young Woman Re-

Head and Arms Of Young Woman Re-
covered at Detroit.
Detroit, Sept 1.-The head and
arms of a young woman were found
enclosed in a sack in Ecorse creek
under. the Jefferson avenue bridge.
The face of the girl was in such a fair
state of preservation that identiflca-
ticn should be only a matter of day
OF two at the most And once the
identity of the unfortunate girl is re-
tealed the county and city authorities
will feel that they have made a long
stride toward a solution of the mys-
terry that was presented to them Mon
day when the torso of a young woman
was discovered sewed in a similar
sack In Ecorse creek in the suburb of
Ecorse.
Later in the day the body was iden-
tilted as that of Miss Mabel Millman
OF Ann Arbor, the daughter of the
widow of an Ann Arbor policeman.

Order Of Commission Affects
Southern Railroads.

Washington, Sept AN order in
volving approximately $1,OO0,OOO in
reparation has been issued by the in
terstate commerce commission. It in
cluded claims In what is known as
the Central Yellow Pine association
erritory-Louisiana, Mississippi and
Western Alabama-and involved a re
funding of amounts paid by large
number of shippers of yellow pine
lumber from the territory to points in
other states on which an overcharge
of 2 cents a hundred pounds was col
lected by various railroads.
The settlement of the cases was
made on the same basis as that effect
ed in the yellow pine lumber cases in
other territory of the South, 67 per
cent of the provable claims being al
lowed. The cases covered by the or
der are known as the Green & Green
claims and they were instituted
against all of the railroads operating
in the Central Yellow Pine associa-
ton territory.
