MORE ABOUT TICKS.
Citizen OF Reeds Greek Warmly ExpOns,
es Tick Eradication Work.

been reading the letter that Mr..
Hutchiaon has written in your
valuable paper, and if you will
allow me space | will say n few
words in behalf Of tick erIdica-
ton.
He tells us that if the people
only knew the benefits to be de-
rived from this work and the
blessing it would bring to those
who raise live stock we would
not be against eradication. That
is an easy thing to find out. The
government and the state are
giving away books for US to
study and find out the losses that
come from our cattle being ticky
and why we cannot get the mar
ket price. The government IS
doing all it can to help the peo-
pie, yet some people will growl at
those men because they have a
fat JOB. They say the tick does
not xii! cattle. Well, the gov
eminent says it does and if we
Will clean our cattle it will re-
move the quarantine restriction.
1t would, therefore, seem ad-
vlsabIe to furnish few statistics
showing the financial loss sus-
tained by the country as a result
of the tick. 1t is well known that
those animals coming from an
infected district and sold in the
southern pens Of northern stock
yards bring an average Of one
fourth to one- half cent less per
pound than the market price.
The handicap that is placed on
the southern cattle raiser as a
result Of this decrease in value Of
his stock will average at the for
mer figure at least Sl.50 per
head, allowing an individual
weight Of 600 pounds for all
classes Of animals. So that the
loss on the estimated 705,000
southern cattle including stock,
beef and dairy animals marketed
yearly under this condition, will
sum up a loss Of Sl,057, 800 per
annum,
Carrying this estimate still
further it will be found that this
decreased value reacts and fixes
the valuation Of al! cattle which
remain in the infected territory.
Another loss which is indirectly
sustained by the southern cattle
industry roug increased
freight rates is tho cost Of the
railroad companies Of cleaning
and disinfecting the cars that
carry southern cattle and pro-
viding separate pens for these
animals at various locations.
This sun may be calculated at
not less than $780, 900 per annum
and the people that sell those
cattle pay it.
Therefore, it is just as impor-
tant to eradicate the cattle tick
for reasons other than those as.
sociated with Texas fever as it is
TO EXTERN mlnate lice, lleas ana
other vermin. Furthermore cat
tie ticks, aside from the losses
su ustained by their purely paras-
itic effects, are the greatest
menace to the profitable raising
and feeding Of cattle in the south
because they are an obstacle to
cattle traffic between the infected
and infected districts.
Mr., Hutohlson says in his let.
ter there is one man at Little
Rock that Is having something TO
say about the tick appropriation
bill. We don't have 10 40 to Lit.

Ca,s Lake VS.. Bemidii.

Cass Lake and Bemidji will clash
in a baseball game at the Fair
grounds tomorrow afternoon. The
Cass Lake team is especially strong
this year and reports from that town
say that the boys are coming over
here to win by a big score. The
Bemidji team will probably be
the same one that defeated Com
pany M of Hibbing while in camp
at Lake City.
C. w. Jewett will be on the
grounds with a stripped car and will
make several miles. The long
awaited lady from Park Rapids has
written that she will be here tomor-
row, but Mr.. Jewett says that if she
does not come he will 60 several
miles against time.
The original agreement between
the lady and Mr.. Jewett was that
she was to have half mile start in
a five mile race. That means that
starting at scratch, Mr.. Jewett will
have to go around the track ten
times while she goes around nine.
Another rain tonight would put
the track in pretty good condition.
The races will come off after the
baseball game.

Rev. S. E. P. White is looking for
rooms to house the 800 people
expected here from July 24-31 to
attend the Sixth Annual Meeting of
the Bemidji Bible conference.
Many of those who expect to at
tend the sessions are arriving now
expect to take their vacation here
before and after the conference.
Mrs. Lodor. whose home is in
Philadelphia, has been in Bemidji
for some time working in the in
terests of the conference. She

sin where she was instrumental in
making another Bible conference a
success. She will remain here until
about the first of August.
DR.. A. B. Gaebelein, of New
York, has been secured as the
principal speaker. DR.. Gaebelein is
editor of the magazine "Our Hope"
which has a circulation of over 10,
900 copies. 1t has already contain

doing all it can to advertise the

While making the wet test Thursday,
a piece of the Bemidii hose split and
when the judges tried to couple on a
piece from another town, they found
that the couplings did not fit.
1t was pointed out by Chief
tombstone, of Crookston, that this is
a serious defect in modern fire fight
ing apparatus in small towns for in
case one town sent to another for
help, the two sets of hose would have
to be kept separate and could not be
used together.
If all the volunteer fire depart
ments would decide on a standard
hose and coupling, then line could
be laid from New York to San
Franciso and every coupling would
fit. At the next meeting of the
national association, of which Chief
tombstone is treasurer, this matter
will be taken up and an effort made
to have standard hose and
coupling adopted.
The Bemidji stores having the
best window display during the
tournament and who were awarded
prizes were as follows; O'Leary-
Bowser Co. first, receiving the SIS
prize; The Madson-Odegard store
was awarded second prize money
of $40; and the Berman Emporium
received third prize amounting to SIS.

awarded the prizes; tombstone of

SP0R TING NOTES

San FRANCISCO, Juiy6. Tex Rick.
ard yesterday created sensation
by giving some. inside facts about
the deal by which he Sclinched the
Jeffries- Johnson fight two days be-
fore bids were opened in Jersey City.
THE fighters were signed up with
me two days before the opening of
bids" he said. when I went to
New York I saw joker in the con-
tract. 1t stated that best induce
ments would be accepted. knew
that meant they could do as they
pleased, and so I got busy.
L worked on Johnson and also
his wife. I offered Johnson bonus
of 10000 and told his wife l would
buy her a sealskin coat if her hus-
band would sign. The champion
accepted and in addition I had to
loan him $4,000 when the articles
were signed. 81
Most of the negotiations with
Jeffries were worked through Berger.
Berger, told me that he had promised
Gleason the fight and he said, You
can't get the fight without Gleason
That was why I took Gleason into
the combine. NV contract with.
| Gleason called for esto furnish all
the money while he was to have
half the profits. 1t was further
stipulated that he was not to have
any partner. and wheatherB erqe1 was
in with him I do not know. knew
that if I didn't take Gleason in with
me that he might bid 80 per cent
and they would call that the best
offer.' ~
Richard refused to state whether
he gave Sam Berger bonus. but on
the best of authority it may be stated
Berger received $4,000. Johnson
signed his contract with Jeffries two
days before bids were opened, and
Berger and Jeffries signed the day
before. ~.r IL
Richard says he is in a position
to prove the fight dreu$27o,778. so
He estimates the expense and
tine purse will take something like
$142, 900, and that the promoters
will have $128, 900 to divide, in
addition to 1898, already re-
ceived for one sixth of the moving
pictures and another one-sixth in
terest still to secure profits from.
Richard PANIED" Governor
Gillett for his shilly-shally way of
handling things. The governor first
.declared there was no law to stop
the fight, and when Richard had
arranged for holding the fight here,
Governor Gillett called out the
militia. ---- .. /.
Richard says if he can sign up
Laugford and Tommy Burns for
September inReno, he may pull off
this bout, He thinks this is the
only good fight in sight. Ketchel,
he refuses to consider. -
