Bemidji has been designated as
one of four towns as headquarters
for the government agents looking
after the liquor proclamation en-

when the *'dry" rule goes into ef-
feet that there will be added SUI

The three other towns out of
which the agents will work will be
Detroit, Crookston and Akeley.
Whisky and wines contiscated

RAINS BEGIN TO QUENCH
100000 FOREST FIRES
Peril in Western States, Still Exists =
. Alarming Reports of Loss
of Life.

Spokane, WASH, Aug. 24.-(Spec-
ial to Pioneer -Light rains are
falling in Wallace and other Occur
d'Alene mining towns that have
been scorched or threatened by the
forest fires, and the weary fire fight
ers have taken on new hope.
Nothing, however, but long and
heavy downpour will quench the
flames that are eating up the big
trees of Idaho, northwestern Mon
tana and northeastern Washington.
The most sensational rumors of
loss of life continue, but it is i'm
possible to verify them and it seems
likely that aside from losses among
the national rangers, the number of
dead in the three states will not ex-
coed 100. Next to the United States
big corporations are the chief suf-
ferers.
1t is difficult to give figures on
the timber losses, which may reach
$1O,OOO,OOO. It is estimated that
more than 1 800 settlers in Montana,
Idaho and Washington have lost
their homes and everything in them.
The present summer has been one
of the dryest ever known. Fires
lighted by settlers to clear lands and
by sparks from locomotives, have
speedily become giants of destruc-
ton.

Congressman Volstead of Granite

home yesterday morning, found so
much of interest here that he remain

said the congressman, and that
alone was worth staying over for.
The modern saw mill is vastly
different from the old saw mill I
used to work in down in Wisconsin.
The perfection of machinery has
done away with many of the cumber-

use. As I watched those saws rush
through great logs I was amazed. I

The congressman was accompan-

INDIAN BANDS TO CLASH
AT COMING COUNTY FAIR
Twenty Expected From Red Lake to
Appear in Lacrosse Exhibition
Games.

Among the attractions to be
brought to the County Fair this fall
Will be a band of twenty Indians
from the Red Lake Indian Reserva-
ton. They will be brought here by
John Morrison, Jr., and will be un-
der his personal charge.
A game of Lacrosse between two
Indian teams is scheduled for one
OF the Fair days. This game might
be called the national Indian game
as 1t IS the one which the Red man
Is most proficient. The teams to
play here are old ones and expert
enced in the details of the game.
1hree years ago, a band of In
dams came from the Red Lake
agency but on the second day, the
sale OF liquor had increased so
rapidly that the Indians were
shipped home on the afternoon
train. No apprehension is felt
that the ones coming to the Fair
this year will meet like fate as
they are of the better class also
because of the strict rules
against selling liquor to Indians.
Although the Fair will be held be-
fore the regular football season has
been very far advanced. the Bemidii
high school team will play with
some other good northern Mime
sofa high school. The final arrange
ments for the game have not vet
been completed but correspondence
is being carried on with several
school managers.

500 TO BUY me- R. R.
DECLARES HIGH OFFICIAL
Plans Under way for Extension
Of Line to the Rainy
49, + River. -" s@

The 500 railroad is preparing to
take over the Minnesota and Rainy
River road, according to report
from Deer River. The authority
for the statement is a man high in
500 circles who does not wish to
have his name made public at this
time. rs.. .-.-. .z.-~' - a..
The Minnesota and Rainy River
road operates between Deer River
and Big Fork. It was built for log
cling road but has had a passenger
service for sometime. At Deer
River it connects with the Great
Northern. The road runs into the
heart of the big timber country
and has no competition for fifty
miles in any direction. "
. The 500 has been making an in
ventory of the Rainy River property
at Deer River for some time and it is
said that as soon as this inventory is
comp leted, the actual transfer will
take place. 1t is said that the 500
intends to extend the line north
sixty miles to the Rainy River, with
a possibility of international Falls
as terminus, and south about fif-
teen miles to connect with the new
Moose Lake Plummer line now being
constructed. At present the Rainy
River road operates over about fifty
miles of track.
At the local 500 Offices nothing
could be learned of the proposed
sale. The engineers here say
that they have heard rumors that
the 500 is to take over the Mime
sofa and Rainy River but to date
have not heard that any sale has
taken place.

sofa by Frank Day, chairman of the
Democratic state central committee,
addressed to Chester A. Coburn OF
Sank Rapids. it is today freely pre-.
dicted by state officials at the CAPT
tol that even if John Lind now con-
sents to become candidate his vote
will be greatly reduced.
The Day letter which reveals
among other things the demoraliza-
ton of the Democratic party,is one in
answer to a communication sent to
him by Chester A. Coburn, former
postmaster of Sank Rapids, who
complained that, although he was a
republican, he could not support
Gov. Eberhart because the governor
is Scandinavian.
In reply Mr.. Day vote:
Dear Sir: I was much interested
in your valued communication. There
is great deal of truth in what you
say, namely, that the people are tired
OF the Scandinavian business, but
nevertheless 1 think that Governor
Lind is looked upon as so big a
man that the people when consider
ing him for the positions of honor
forget all about nationality.
What you say about John GAL
arneault is true except that he is
not campaigner. The man who
makes the fight against Governor
Eberhart and the powerful interests
behind him must be able to present
his cause upon the hustings, and
this you know Mr.. Galarneault is
not equipped for.
II have faith to believe that we
will yet get a man who will be
equal to the emergency.
"Thanking you for your suggest
ion, and hoping that we will be
able to present a candidate that
will measure up to your ideals, I
am, with great respect cordially
yours, Frank A. Day."
Before leaving here yesterday
for his home at Fairmont, Mr..
Day admitted that he had received
another letter from Mr.. Lind,
mailed at Portland. He refused
to make known the contents but
his jubliant spirits indicated that
the "near" candidate said some
thing to renew Mr. Days hopes.
