SPORTING NOTES

Bemidji is to be the scene of consid-
cradle training of young race horses
this summer. Prince Hal, William
Begsley's fine PAGER, which made a
record of 2:O6A on the grand cir
cult at Reidville, Mass, will be put
through his summer work on the
local track. Sunday afternoon
matinees at the fair grounds have
been promised by the local trainers,
commencing the latter part Of June.
A fine lot of young race horses
were brought from Grand Rapids to
Bemidji Yesterday by Henry Hughes,
a Grand Rapids merchant to be
trained on the local track for the
next several weeks. William Nc.
Graw, trainer. accompanied the five
horses, one of which, Better
Promise" a green PAGER 2:1S n, as
its name indicates, shows promise
of making mark in the racing game.
OF the other four horses, two are
green PAGERS and one is green
trotter, while the fourth is "Skidoo, !"
PAGER with a record of 2.24 ~.
All Of the animals are young horses
and with good training here this
summer, will probably pick up
several purses in the fall.
The track on the Beltrami county
fair grounds in this city has been
recognized as one Of the best hah-
mile circuits in the state. The
Grand Rapids track is being re-
paired, and on account Of the good
practice grounds here, Mr.. Hughes
decided to have his horses trained
in Bemidji this summer. Mr.. Nc

Is the Great Northern railway
following a wise business policy in
neglecting to run on to Bemidji the
Saturday afternoon special train
from Grand Forks to Mentor? Be-
midi people think not.
L. i. LaRue of St. Paul, travelling
passenger agent for the Great North
ern, was in the city yesterday and
while here stated that the Great
Northern has decided to establish
special weekly train which will run
from Grand Forks to Mentor in or
der to accommodate the Grand Forks
people who have summer cottages
at Maple Lake. The train, which
is to be established June 10, will
leave Grand Forks at $3.50 Saturday
afternoons and run to Mentor, a dis
lance of SIS miles. According to
the plans of the company the train
will then "deadhead'' back to Grand
Forks, leaving the people to be
picked Monday mornings by the
Duluth.G Grand Forks train.
More Grand Forks people spend
their summers at Lake Bemidji than
there are residents of that city who
have summer homes at Mentor,
according to the statement last
evening of w. L. Brooks, president
of the Bemidji Commercial club,

TURTLE RIVER SUMMER
RESORT,

l have just had surveyed and
plated the finest summer resort in
Northern Minnesota, on one of the
finest lakes. the most beautiful
scenery, thea best fishing and hunt
ing of any place in the state. The
name of the resort is Point Comfort,
and it is just what the name in
dictates, point extending into the
lake, and a regular park, all cleared
and ready to, build upon, nice grass
sod and hard wood timber. It must
be seen to be appreciated. There
is a thirty foot driveway along the
lake shore, a lawn tennis court
5Ox1OO for the public, and access
able from all the lots by 10 foot
alley. The lots are 5Ox15O and
over, the price is $4,000, either
cash or part cash and balance to
suit purchaser.
have built two cottages 12x2O
with an 8-foot porch, Fall screened.
These cottages will be furnished
with such things as are generally
used for summer outing. A good
rowboat with each cottage. I will
rent these including one rowboat
with each building, for $500 per
week. No building rented for less
than one week or one weeks price.
This is a good chance for anyone
not wishing to buy lot and build,
to get few weeks outing at low
cost, and on the shores of lake
that has not been fshed to death.
l expect to sell every one of these
lots in thirty days, so you better not
wait too long if you want to get in
on this snap.
Yours truly,
A. O. Johnson,

not be necessary to go out of the
county to get teachers to fill some
of these choice places when the
material is to be found at home.
There is material in the county to
supply these needs but not without
labor and persistent effort. BY keep
ing at it any one may obtain first
grade certificate. The greatest
hinderance is lack of determination
and concentrated effort. A definite
aim will overcome almost any obsta.
Gle. The old adage: If you do
not at first succeed try, try again" is
true. The work IN the school in the
first grade subjects especially is
planned SO as to give double time to
these studies.
Under such favorable arrange
ment any one who has the second
grade subjects and who will work
diligently during the six weeks
should have no trouble in passing
any of the subjects thus studied. If
but part of the credits are obtained
at time it will not be long till all
the requirements are met. The
ambition to try is helpful and deserv-
ing of praise and must lead to sue
cess. No more valuable opportunity
for improvement is afforded the
teacher than in a well organized
summer training school. Regard
less of whatever qualifications a
teacher may possess the training
received by careful review of SUBJ
ject matter together with methods
of presentation and association for a
few. weeks with skillful instructors
and working fellow teachers can
result in none other than renewed
interest in those subjects and an
awakened enthusiasm for an in
creased devotion to school work.
By regularly attending summer
school is the only way of getting
and keeping to the front. Each
teacher or person interested should
consider the benefits to be derived
and if she believes in self-improve-
ment, thorough preparation for do
ing more efficient work and inter
est in her own personal advance
ment. the bountiful provisions made
by the state will not be neglected.
The announcement of the Train.
in school will be ready soon. A
copy may be obtained by writing

midji MINI.

The Station Problem,

The controversy between the middle.
level and growing-end populations over
the site of the new-railroad station,
though honestly and quietly conducted,
knows no abatement in earnestness.
Hence, it is unfortunate for all con.
cerned that it has arisen.
1t is one of the inevitable outcomes.
however, of a survey which should have
reached up into town-which should
have touched near the centre instead of
an evident effort to avoid even the cir
conference.
The best proposition before the au.
thorities and people the JOURNAL has
heard is the freight branch from the
summit of the hill beyond the Tenant
residence to a freight station as near the
middle level as it can be located, and
leave the railroad company locate its
passenger station where it likes.
Ii the company can be induced to do
this 20 per cent of the freight can be un-
loaded nearest its consignees, while
nearly all of the % per cent. will enjoy
down-hlll haul.
Drafts of surveys Of routes to the pro.
posed upper and lower stations, it is
said, will be submitted to Council Mon.
day evening, and it is hoped one also of
the branch-railway route to the middle
level.

TOWN AND VICINITY.
This Paper.

Before the our -of-town mail was put
up last week an extraordinary demand
for the JOURNAL developed, and word
was transmitted to the mail-clerks to
send half-sheets to exchanges. The
Luray (Va.) COnrier acknowledges the
innovation as follows:
The FRosrBURG MINING JoERNAL comes to
the Courier this week on the half-shell. In
a bunch of about 20 ex's that reaches this
office every Saturday morning, half shell or
sporting both wings, the JOURNAL is always
first devoured. The Courier does not know
philips Boy" nor The Eckhart Philoso-
pher." nor Titus A. Brick" nor anybody
else in Frostburg except the brilliant editor
of the JOURNAL but the paper that is great
has charm peculiarly its own, and is
always read with pleasure and profit.
Coming from the sunset side of the
great Blue Ridge, where the JOURNAL
as an individual was born, no tribute,
even so eloquent or so pretty, would be
more welcome.
The JOURNAL regretted the necessity
of sending out the half sheets, but since
in the one preferred instance it proved
a provocation so happy, it does so no
more.

Following is brief sketch of very
popular and useful official of this city
man whose sterling character has
placed him in the front rank of Frost
burg citizenship, and who has the conf
dence OF the entire community.
John J. Price was born in Mt. Savage
December IL, 1857, just one year after
the coming of his father to this country
from Manchester, England. His mother
was daughter of John Lewis, of Mt
Savage. At the age of ten he, mere
youngster as he was, started to work in
the mines, his first situation being in
the old Midland mine of which John
Bell was superintendent. He followed
mining for thirty.siX years, quitting in
1904 to enter the grocery business on
Broadway, in which he is still engaged.
He served in the Town Council from
1906 to 1908, being elected on the regular
Republican ticket. For 1909 he was
elected Mayor of Frostburg, and in 1910
he was again chosen by the people to be
their executive, which term he is at
present filling.
Mr.. Price is an active member in the
X. of p, l. o. o. F., Jr. o U. A. M,
and Fraternal Order of Moose, and is
also a charter member of the Frostburg

mer Watering Station, where 1857

This reminds the JOURNAL that it is
the unanimous belief of Garrett-county
farmers trading here that the county
commissioners and town council of
Frostburg should unite in providing a
watering-statiOn on the National Pike
somewhere below the new reservoir
level.
And some Of them say they could stay
longer in town frequently if there were
a watering station at some central point.
Isn't this matter worth consideration

Scholastic Program.

The Faculty of State Normal School
will assemble at , O'Clock p. III. Mon
day, 18th inst, and map out the work
for the coming year.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, 18th and
l4th, examinations will be held for
those who failed last year.
Also on the 18th new students will be
registered.
In the past the English work has
proved rather burdensome to students
entering the junior class. To obviate
this some of the Junior English has been
put in the Senior year, thus extending
the course and making the work lighter
for students just entering.
The enrolment this year promises to be
large, and, to insure an adequate teach
ing force, an extra tutor has been added
to the faculty.

Correction.

ing of Mrs. Sara Roberta Getty, of
Grantsville, as Miss In most
graceful letter she states that she lis
married; that Charles B. Getty is her
husband; that they are former residents
of Frostburg, and have many dear
friends in that good town. and so on.
1t was a hazy recollection of their resi-
dence here that misled the JOURNAL into
assuming that she was daughter IN
stead of wife and mother. Mrs. Getty
contributes another touching poem this
week-one incident to a pathetic eX-
perience in her life.
