RED RIVER HARVESTERS
GATHERING GRAIN RAPIDLY
Ideal Weather Assists Farmers Straw
is Dry and Threshing Will Start
at Once.

Crookston. August 3rd, Especial
to the Pioneer. practically every
harvester in the Red River Valley is
humming and as the weather is ideal,
the grain is being put into shock
rapidly. A few of the smaller farm
ers have finished wheat cutting, but
the majority are not more than
twenty-five per cent through.
Charles Johnson is the first to
finish his wheat and oats and re-
ports fairly good crop. He has
his barley which was sowed late,
left. The wind will be a factor in
saving the shortest of the crop.
With little or no wind it can be cut
and bound without trouble but with
high wind it would be difficult
to get i, on the binder platform
without Tipping it all over the can
vass but thus far there has been
nothing but little breeze.
The threshers are getting their
machines into shape and the grain
will be pounded ont just as soon as
possible. The straw is.dry and the
grain will harden and be fit for
threshing much sooner than with a
heavy crop of,gTeen straw.

RAINFALL 4 TEASER TO
BOTH COUNTRY AND CITY
Drizzles in Town and Not Heavy
Enough to Give Crops Needed
Moisture.

Just enough rain has fallen here
in the past twenty-four hours to be
teaser both to the city and country
people. 1t has laid the dust in the
city but the drizzle has been un-
pleasant. Hardly enough fell in the
country to assist the crops any, but
what did fall was appreciated.
Indications at present are that
more rain will come. The barometer
has been falling slowly but steadily
all day and the sky is cloudy.
Little wind is blowing so that the
chances for good rain are excel
lent. 1t is needed badly as none
has fallen for ten days and corn is
showing tendency to dry up.
The high water wave that was
coming down the river passed the
drive of the Douglas Lumber COM
pany and the logs are hung up again
until more rain falls. The men were
paid off and discharged Monday
when the drive was within two miles
of the city. Rain fell heavily yes
terday afternoon north and west of
Bemidji and it is possible that
enough of it will find its way into
the Mississippi to float the logs.
Warfeld's pond for the dam power
plant has backed up to the lake and
with the water that came down the
river, has raised the level a little.
The evaporation is so rapid, however,
that the rise is hardly noticeable.
Cities down the river are having
trouble as the water let out of the
reservoirs evaporates before it
reaches the town pumps.

DELEGATES TO MEETING
ELECTED BY FARMERS
Various Clubs Are Choosing Men to be

Farmers near Bemidji are willing
to meet with the Commercial club
when the plan for building a ware
house is to come up next week.
Monday, a farmers club at Rock.
wood met and all the men pr esent
were enthusiastic over the idea OF
meeting with the Commercial club.
The lockwood meeting was
held in the Modern Woodmen
hall and three men were elected
delegates to represent the club at
the Commercial club meeting.
They are Louis Hanson, ]. !.
Jinkerson, and William Morris.
1t was the opinion of The club that
he farmers and city business
men should be in closer touch
and they were willing to do all in
their power to push the movement.
Farmers near the city on all sides
are becoming interested in the move
ment to erect warehouse in the city,
which will also be a commission
house. They all feel the need of one
and now that the Commercial club
has started the movement, are fal.
ling in line and will push as hard a.
they can.
Several other clubs will hold
meetings this week and it is expected
that they will also elect delegates.

NORTH DAKOTA BANKER
LIKES BEM|OJ| COUNTRY
Drives Here in Buick From Minot-
Says Crop Situation is Very
Peculiar.

w. L. Meyer, and his wife and
$ughter. arrived in Bemidji last
evening and they will spend several
daxs WITH v, r.. Mr.. and Mrs. M E:
fbastson.' Mr.. Ibertson and Mrs.
Meyer are brother and sister. Mr..
Meyer drove in from Minot, North
Dakota, in forty horsepower Buick.
He is banker in Minot interested
particularly in the crops.
Mr.. Meyer came by the way of
Wadena, Glenwood and Park Rapids.
He reports that the crop situation
is peculiar as good crops will be
found in one section and three miles
farther on, they will be almost a
total failure. He says that in many
cases rain came just in time, and
that in others, it must come at once
if the crop is to be saved.
Down near Park Rapids, Mr..
Meyer encountered some bad roads.
The rain had come down so hard
that it had, washed the, surface
dirt into the ditch and left small
stumps standing several inches out
of the road. He narrowly escaped
injuring the plan of his machine
several times.
Mr.. Meyer said that last winter,
many thought the tide of immigra.
ton this year would be into western
Dakota, but that it had not stopped
there. Western Montana has re-
ceived the new settlers, but the
failure to get good crop there this
year has discouraged many and they
will return as soon as they can. The
railroads have helped advertise the
country and make it boom. Many
small towns have sprung up with
several general stores and three or
four lumber yards.
Mr.. Meyer is we'll pleased with the
Bemidji country and thinks chances
are fine for good crop here.

GRAND RAPIDS COUPLER
CHALLENGED BY BEMIDJ|
Local Department Will Put Up 500
that Dennis Can Beat Lofberg in
Straight Contest.

Z Bemidjl hremen have taken up the
statement that appeared in Grand
Rapids paper a week ago, and have
posted a one hundred dollar side bet
that Ray Dennis can beat Lofberg
of Grand Rapids, in the coupling
contest any time that Lofberg will
run, provided the race if held in
some city of the western asso citation.
The article which caused the
action of the fremen is as follows:
''Bemidji the Blowhard."
Bemidji is heard from again. Be-
cause their hose coupler at the fire.
mems tournament could not make as
good time as did Lofberg at Grand
Rapids, the claim is made that the
record here was a fake. Bemidji
is a big slob without a drop of red
blood in its veins"
Lofberg's time in the Grand
Rapids meet was is of a seond
better than Dennis here. Those
who saw the Grand Rapids con-
test say that Lofberg jumped the
gun by at least ten feet. If the
men can be brought together,
watches will be discarded and they
will run from the same gun to two
hoses laid side by side. The first
nozzle touching the ground will be
that of the winner.
Earl Cell, chief of the Bemidj il
department, says that the boys have
one hundred dollars which they will
pay Lofberg if he can beat Dennis.
AS they make the challenge, they
have right to impose the condi-
tions of the race. ..... p.
Some of the boys say that they
notice the editor of the Grand
Rapids paper makes no attempt to
explain how Lofberg jumped the gun,
but resorts to calling names, a small
boy trick. They say if Lofberg is
not afraid of being beaten, he will
accept the challenge. Many of them
doubt that he will for they say Grand
Rapids has always been afraid to
come over to Bemidji, even when
they are playing football.
