Scenes of Widest Horror Enacted
Throughout the City.
Teheran, Nov. 6.-Messages re-
ceived here from Ardebil, where the
tribesmen have risen, say the natives
are besieging the Russian consulate,
where the Persian governor and other
government officials, the clergy and
all foreigners have taken refuge. The
trtbesmen have demanded the imme-
date surrender of the place, threat
ening if it holds out to burn the town
and massacre all. The consulate is
defended by a few Cossack guards,
who are not equipped for a long re-
sistance, having little ammunition.
There is nc hope that the reinforce
ments sent here from Tabriz will ar
rive in less than three weeks, too
late, it is believed, to save the in
habitants. Under orders from St. Pc
tersburg second strong Russian de-
tachment started for Ardebil with in.
structicns to avenge the massacre of
the foreigners if they are too late to
prevent it.
The town outside of the Russian
consulate is the scene of widest hor-
rors. Tribesmen are looting. burning
houses and outraging women and
children. 1t is unlikely that the lead
ers will be able to restrain their wild
followers from slaughtering if the con-
s"late falls, even should they desire
TO avoid Russian vengeance.

After much disputing and quib-

K Football team of Bemidji has
finally waived all contentious which
it has had with the City Football
team of Grand Rapids and has
agreed to play a game with the
Grand Rapids eleven, at Grand

This decision was reached only
after it was found to be impossible
to get the Grand Rapids team to
play here or anywhere else except in
Itasca county, and rather than
have no game at all, the Bemidji
football boys have shown themselves
true sportsmen and will line up
against the champions of northeast

 Red gum, as in the preceding year, ranked first among the woods used for veneer, 1894 feet being consumed with a valuation of s1, ,272, ,096, forming a percentage of 31.4 of the total con- sumption. The demand for red gum was even greater than in 1907, when it's percentage of the whole eonSump- tion was 29.5. Among other woods, with the exception of yellow pine which shows an important increase, no great increase is noted.
