: Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Nevins who
live on the banks of Clearwater lake
are frequent visitors to the city of
Bemidji. They send many fresh
green goods to the local market.
Their home is pictured as an ideal
country home. 1t is said by many
who have had the pleasure of visit
ing at this model country home that
it is second to none anywhere in
the northwest. 100 H ,-
It consists of some wooded land
and about sixty acres of beautifully
cleared productive land. A splendid
house and barn are situated among
the pines and afford fine view of
the surrounding coudtry.
The barn floor is laid with maple
and is scrubbed severaLtimes week.
Everything in and around both
house and barn is in tip top shape
and it can justly be called an ideal
country home.

the deed of gift specify that the
club holding the cup shall defend it
between May 3Oth and Oct 1st
against all challenges and one
challenge must be delivered to the
holding club at least six months
before the date set for the race or
series of races called for by the
conditions. The races are run off
in three. heats on consecutive days
and each heat cannot be for less than
20 or more than 40 nautical miles,
the winner being decided upon by
the point system, whereby each
boat entering and finishing heat of
a match receives one point for entry
and one additional point for each
boat she defeats, the winner being
the boat scoring the highest number
of points in all the heats of the race.
After one challenge has been
received by tine holding club,
other boats representing other
clubs, may also file challenges at
any time up to ten days before
the dates set for the races and as
result of this provision, each
year has seen from four to a dozen
boats competing. This year the
first challenge for the cup was re-
ceived by the Thousands Islands
yacht club from the Chippewa
lay Yacht club, the former holder
of the trophy, and up to date one
other club has also challenged,
the New York Motor Boat club,
naming as it's challenger, the
"1ntrudei', now building for Mr..
F. X. Burnham. Four other new
boats are building, which will be
eligible under the conditions of
the deed of gilt and from which
great things are expected in the
way of speed. Among these is
the new "Hoosier Boy" the sue
cessor of the very successful boat
of that name of last year. The
Gananoque Yacht club are also
building a challenger and it is to
be presumed that "Dixie II" will
again be in the running, so that
the 1910 event should be the most
important and eventful in the his
tory of the cup.

Died Yesterday.

F. w. Liesch of Rosemont, near
St. Paul, who came here three weeks
ago for the benefit of his health, died
yesterday of pulmonary tuberculosis,
in his tent on the lakeshore near
Twelfth street. Relatives were mott.
fed and are on their way to Be-
midi.
Mr.. Liesch was a young barber
about rs years old and came here
from Grand Forks, thinking the
pine air would improve his health,
but the disease had too strong a
hold and he gradually weakened.
He had no friends in Bemidji but
some of the local BARRIERS aided him
considerably. Coroner Ibertson was
given charge Of the remains and is
awaiting the arrival of relatives of
the deceased.

ESCAPING GAS NEARLY
ASPHYxIA7ES SLEEPERS
Cass Lake People Narrowly Escape
Death-Mother Heroically Rescues
Others Coal Stove Open.

Cass Lake, May Goal gas al
most caused the death of three
residents of Cass Lake yesterday,
and were it not for the awakening
OF the baby, the deaths would GER
tainly have occurred.
Mrs. E. L. Woods was awakened
about a. m. by the crying of the
baby. Feeling ill, she called her
daughter, Mrs. L. w. Bennington,
and told her to hurry for the doctor.
Mrs. Bennington attempted to rise
but fell back so weak that she was
hardly able to explain that she could
not 60. Mrs. Woods then called
her 1O-year-old son but the little lad
had no sooner jumped out of bed
than he fell back unconscious.
Believing that they had in some
manner been poisoned, the mother
staggered and crawled from the
house to the doctors Office across
the street, where she awakened the
physician and explained that the
family had suddenly become i'll.
The doctor attended the woman
and then hurried to the Woods
home, where it required several
hours work to resuscitate the rest of
the family. They are now recover
ing rapidly. The physician de-
clared that if the family had slept
one hour later, they would never
have awakened.
Investigation led to the dis
covery that the lid of the coal
stove had been left slightly open
while the rest of the drafts had
been tightly closed. Consequently,
gas escaped from the cover and
nearly caused the asphyxiation of
the family.

and Montana say in reports to the
Spokane chamber of commerce there
is every indication that the fruit
crop this year will be the largest

the four states. Private advices
from growers in the province of
British Columbia are that the out.
look is good for apples and other
fruits. There is no danger of late
freeze, but should the unexpected
happen the owners of commercial
tracts are ready to do battle with
hundreds of thousands of smudge
pots or orchard heaters. 1t is pre-.
dicted that higher prices will pre-.

F. A. Huntley, state horticultural
commissioners, says that growers in
Washington will pro luce twice as
much fruit this season as in 1908,
the year of the record crop. In.

berries and other soft fruits the

1910 YACHT RACES TO
Be HELD AUGUST ass
Is One OF the Most important Motor
Boat Events OF the Year.
Alexandria Bay.

The Thousand Islands Yacht
club, holders OF the American Power
Boat Association Gold Challenge
cup, won two years ago by Dixie
II" from the Chippewa Bay Yacht
club and last year successfully de-
Tended by her, has just set the dates
for this years races, which will take
place on the club course, off Alex
andria Bay, Thousand Islands, on
August 4th, 5th and 9th.
This race is one of the most i'm
portant motor boat events of the
year as it typifes the speed su-
premacy of the United States and
has become a classic among motor
boat events. 1t is a cup given by
the American Power Boat aSsocia-
ton in 1904 and was raced for twice
that season, being first won by the
famous Standard" and later by the
challenger" for the Chippewa Bay
Yacht club, which successfully de-
tended it against all corners until
the summer of 1908, when it was
won by the Dixie II" for the
Thousand Islands Yacht club.
The conditions of the race limit
the length of the boats competing to
40 #. overall, but no other res,ric-
tons are specified, and each year
the gold challenge cup race brings
out in competition, the fastest boats
of the country. The conditions OF

have been established by private
individuals and corporations, also
by the United States government,
which is expanding enormous sums
in retaining the volcanic wastes so
wonderfully rich and fertile and so
peculiarly adapted to raising fruits,
unblemished and perfect in size and
color. More than $4,000 acres of
lands are devoted to orchards in the
four states and pomologists estimate
that the value of full crop will
undoubtedly equal S175, 100000.
Northwestern apples are in de-
mand in the eastern, middle western
and southern states and in Europe
and Australia and the markets are
being extended year by year.
American and foreign experts, who
have studied conditions in the
Northwest as the Worlds Fruit
Basket" adding there has been
established in comparatively short
time domain where the first foot of
soil, properly cultivated, eventually
will be worth more than all the
mines from Alaska to Mexico and
all the forests from the United States
boundary to the Arctic sea.
AS gold was the strong magnet
which sent the first Americans
across the unknown wastes of this
continent to the California coast in
1S49, so today the apple, the emperor
of fruit, is attracting thousands to
the western orchard belts. Millions
of dollars have been invested in
apple lands west of the Rockies dur.
ing the last decade and beautiful
orchards of young trees today mark
the spots where but yesterday was a
waste of brown, sagebrush-covered
desert. ..
Romance never played such a
part in the world as in the fruit
growing districts of the Northwest
today. There is the romance of de.
velopment, of commerce and of life
that rivals the stories of centuries
ago, when new empires were suddenly
uncovered by people who never even
dreamed of their existence. Just as
the mystery and danger faded from
the Far West when once it was
discovered" so has that vast
stretch of territory come into its
own.
Reports from nurseries and grow.
ers are that between 100000 and
100000 one and two.year saplings
will be planted in the four states
and provinces before the close of
1910. This means that more than
100000 acres of land will be
added to the area already under
cultivation, thus giving a total Of
400, 100000 acres in fruit in 1915.

FOR A WOMAN
BY A WOMAN
The Touch of Comedy,
By Mary Russell.


The touch of comedy in life is
what keeps us all from the dark
ness of despair. The man or wo-
man who can smile through storm
or stress, keeps sweetto the gates
of death, and one could even
imagine a future life would find
such an Individual welcome. =
Children have no lrreverence,
yet they often say things that
sound so to our over tanned and
overstrained ears. Said one child
when looking at very homely
man, "Well bet God just laughed
when he made that man!'
The child meant no harm-in.
vested God with a sense of humor
which he felt himself. Since
every attribute is from divine
power is it not perhaps wrong to
think that the source of all humor
possess none?
We take our pleasures sadly.
Why not try smiling a little every
day to test the efficacy of a cheerful
attitude on those about you?
The man who, comes into his
Office with a CHEEKY word aud smile
will have the love and loyalty of
those about him-if he lives up to
his exterior.
Don't smile from the teeth out.
That will gain you nothing, for the
art of smiling lies deeper than that.
Find something in life to smile at
and someone to smile with. A sense
of humor is like grain of salt-the
saving grace in this salad we call
life. III ~
A reputation for wit may be
earned by a caustic tongue, and a
disregard of the feeling of others,
but reputation for a kind heart
must be based on the kindly thought
and deed, and the outward express
sion of a smile.
A CHEEKY smile has made many
clerk a successful man or woman.
The grouchy attendant seldom climbs
far. They are the kind that think
somebody is Jealous of them or par
tial to someone else. They think
that is why they are failures. They
seldom have the strength of charac-
ter to take themselves apart and
look at their own inward works.
They will not admit that they are
unwilling servants and that they
take a sorrowful view of life.
The customer that is hard to
pl. ase may be an important factor
in the future welfare of the clerk.
Give her your best efforts cheer
fully, and even if you miss sale,
and know you are going to do at
the beginning of her search, you
will be the gamer.
It has been said that a wise time
to give pill is when the mouth is
