the First.

The Bemidji bowlers got sweet
revenge" on the Cass Lake ten pin
artists, in this city last night, in a
series of five games, all of which,
with the exception of the opening
contest, were won by Bemidji, by a
comfortable margin of scores. A
week ago the Cass Lake team

out the sting of the former defeat,
winning from the Cass Lakers by a
score of 1897 for Bemidji to 37S7 for
Cass Lake, the local bowlers being
21O pins in the lead.
Bemidji was represented by the
following: Jackson (captain), NAL
zahn, Donaldson, Grover and Howe.
Cass Lake: Burns, Ittner, Finnessy,
NcdlluS, OlSOn.
The scores of last nights games
were as follows:
First game-Cass Lake, 7S7; Be-
midi, 1872. Second game-Bemidji,
846; 'Cass Lake, IT'S. Third game
-Bemidji, 1872; Cass Lake, 7O1.
Fourth game-Bemidji, SO3; Cass
Lake, 766. Fifth game-Bemidji,
TIA; Cass Lake, 755. Total-Be-
midi, 1897; Cass Lake, 37S7.

of five games, at Cass Lake, in the
very near future.

PROMINENT BAGLEY MAN
Is SENT TO THE ASYLUM
Ole Aasen Brooded Over Loss Of
Business by Fire.-Mind Be-
came Deranged.

AT Bagley, yesterday, Ole Aasen,
a member of the general merchan-
disc firm of Erickson & Aasen, was
adjudged insane by the insanity
board of Clearwater county and CON-
mitted to the asylum at Fergus
Falls yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Aasen's case is a sad one,
and his condition is believed to be
the RESULT of worry and brooding
over business affairs, which have
been very unsatisfactory of late.
Several weeks ago, Aasen & Erickson
lost their building and stock of
general merchandise, by fire, practic.
ally nothing being saved from the
ashes; and the firm did not realize
as much from the insurance on the
property as had been expected. E
This fact preyed upon the mind
of Mr.. Aasen to such an extent
that he could think of nothing else,
and he gradually became mentally
unbalanced.
Bagley people had for some time
noticed Mr.. Aasen's peculiar actions,
and during the past week he was
continually watched, the unfortunate
mans condition becoming such that,
yesterday, he was given hearing by
the insanity board, composed of
Martin Millborg, judge of probate of
Clearwater courtyard Drs. Bjorneby
and Forrest, who pronounced Aasen
insane.
Mr.. Aasen is a married man and
has wife and three small children.

When you woke up this morning,
did you not feel that there was
something that must be done today?
If you did, you had just the right
feeling. That kind of feeling that
every wide-awake, energetic person
has. Then you probably remembered
that you wanted to enter the Be-
midi Pioneers mammoth prize con-
test and that you must do it before
night. If you have still neglected
to send in yonr name to the con-
test department. You will wake
again tomorrow with that same feel
ing of having neglected your duty
and left undone something that was
to your best interest to do.
1t is duty that you owe to your
self, to avail yourself of the
unparalleled offer made by the
Bemidji Pioneer in this contest.
Can you imagine any easier manner
to become the owner of the Capital
prize, The Pioneer" the beautiful
Model 10 Buick, the most famous
car seen in the Northland today. Of
course you cannot, so throw off your
apathy, send in your name and read
yourself as vote getter.
Be live wire. Make a name for
yourself. Let people know you are
not a dead one, but that you have
got lot of real good, red blood in
your veins in other words that you
are alive. This may be your intro
duction to the business world and
the acquaintance that you will
make while getting votes will be
more valuable to you than the prize
you win.
The reason for this is there are
more candidates running in Bemidji
and the competitor is keener, while
in the country it is hard to perceive
that any votes have been gathered

The votes are coming in in
punches from all sides and some
contestants seem to have fairly
''struck their gait,' in the race
for $2500.00 worth Of prizes
offered for competition by the
Bemidji Pioneer. In many of the
outside towns, however, the in
terest in the prizes seems to be
confined only to very few
candidates. This is where new
contestants have a great chance.
Votes will not be so eagerly
sought for as there are few con-
testants to seek them.
Catch on now, send in your
name or the name of a fiend who
you think will have a chance of
winning a prize at once. If you
take any interest in becoming the
owner of the ''White Streak
Model 10 Buick, the piano, the
scholarships or the gold watches,
get busy and get into the contest.
If you start at once you will
not be too late, but get in with
both feet, that's the only way
to start at anything. Wade right
into it and do business.

THE WORLDS LARGEST SHIP.

A new stage in the history of the growth
of steamships is mrked by the White Star
liner Olympic, which was launched yester-
day from the yard Of Messrs. Harland and
Wolff at Belfast.
The Olympic is tue largest vessel in the
world. She viii be 8824ft. in length over
olI-neQrly 100lt. longer than the Lusitania
and Mauretanio- and 925ft. in beam md

keel to the top Of the captains house on the
boat deck viii be 1O54ft,, the four tunnels
rising some loft. higher still. Her gross
tonnage is given in round numbers as As, 900,
and her displacement as 10000 tons.
The propelling machinery consists of a
turbine combined with reciprocating engines,
an arrangement which the White Star Line
has already proved in the case of the Lau-
rentic. The two outer screws will be driven
by two sets Of reciprocating engines, and the
energy remaining in the steam after it has
passed through them will be expended in a
low-pressure turbine, which will drive a
third screw placed centrally. The speed for
which the vessel is designed is q knots, and

required will be much less than in the case

HI CENSUS

Euumerotors are believed to have been
guilty Of padding the census returns Of the
cities of Tacoma, Seattle, and Aberdeen in
the State Of Washington Of Portland, Ore ;
Of Minneapolis, Mimi; of BE. Sc. in Idaho,
and Of Fort Smith, Ark. The counters Of
population in other Western cities are sus-
pected. All these cases, President Taft
writes to Secretary Nagel, should be speedi-
ly investigated and prosecutions should fol-
low, since @nothing will so conluce to Sc
curing q proper census"
The cheat hurts the future growth and
prosperity Of these cities. The next census.
if honestly conducted, would show a declin-
ing or rotar le I popuIo ion in exact proportion
to the present overstatomanla. The talk of
dealing Ienient5y with the native sons
among the euumarators who boosted" the
census returns is utter nonsense. 1t wasn't
patriotism that induced them to do this
disseryice to their cities, but the knowledge
that their pay would be increased according
to their per capita returns. Grand Juries
should be found to indict them, and prose-
cutting officials to urge the full penalty Of

THE FIRST PRESIDE IT OF PORTU-
GAL.

ThooGlo Braga, a poet, phiJoIogist, ana
philosopher, President Of Portugal And
yet it was shrewl on the part Of the %royolu-
tionaries to put at their head not only the
staunch republican Of fifty years standing
but ~Portugal's one scholar of international
reputation, a sodate, peaceful, kindly man
of high character, one who has spont his
life in study, for thus thoy redeem thom-
selves, they think, from the charge Of being
wholly a band of a%9itNtors and graftcrs and
nou-intellectuals No matter how many
anarchists and rascal5 are taking refuge un-
der Senior Bragn's skirts, it is undeniabIo
that the net OF making him provisional Pre-
sident instead Of giving that Office immedl-
atoly to Senior Machado, the real head of
the republicans, has had q quoting effect.
Certainly its psych logical value, expressed
in terms Of politics, has been considerable,
both in Portugal and abroad. Theoflo Braga
is sixty five years Old. He has written about
Il hundred volumes, twenty of which com
prise a history Of Portuguese literature. He
has been generally referred to by the press
OF our day rs the most omiumt man of let
tiers in Portugal. His prestige in this re-
gard ossuredly adds responsibility and
dignity to the republican triumph. But
the questions with every one are: Will
Braga prove a man of action? VIII he
preserve Il proper poise and balance? Even
if he does, will not tho habits of q lifetime
prove too much for him Will he not
long, after a while, to abandon the bustling
men of practical political experience who now
surround hun and leave the soothing center
OF government for his great quiet library
and his choice circle Of learned c@rouies W.
shall see. At all events, his entrance into
political activity was apparently satisfactory
to hs republican friends.
