supporters confidently predict his cleo
ton as governor.
The progressives swept the Kansas
primaries, triumphantly renominating
Walter Roscoe Stubs for governor. 1t
is said that the railroads, breweries
and standpatters have made a secret
organization to defeat Stubs.
Over the line in Nebraska the ques-
ton of county option is the chief is
sue. James c. Dahlman. the Cow
boy mayor of Omaha. is the Demo
cratic candidate for governor. Dahl
man says he Will veto a county option
bill. For this reason W. ]. Bryan has
bolted his nomination. The Democrats
at present have the governor and leg
islature. but the result this year Is
very much in doubt.
House May Be Close.
AS to the national house of repre-
sentattves, both congressional chair
men claim it by a large majority. A
New York magazine recently made
canvass of the situation that it said
extended into every doubtful district
in the land and as result of which
1t predicted practically a tie, with
thirteen districts uncertain. If the
house should be close the insurgents
would be in a commanding position,
as they have nominated something like
fifty candidates. most Of whom are
reasonably sure of election. 1t is gen
orally admitted that both the Demo
Gratis and insurgents will make gains
in the house, the only question being
as to the size of these gains.
The same condition applies to the
senate with this difference: In the
upper body it is scarcely possible that
the Democrats can come into control,
although they may add enough to
their membership to give the insur-
gents the balance of power. In de-
tail the senatorial situation is as fol-
lows: There are thirty-fve new men
to go in. including successors to four
who have died-Dolliver Of Iowa, Nc
Emery Of Louisiana. Daniel of Vir-
ginia and Senator Elect Broward OF
Florida. Swanson has already been
appointed to succeed Daniel. Dolli-
ver's successor will be left to the leg
islature. which will select a progress
sive. All the Democrats will be fol-
lowed by men of their own party, with
the exception of Purcell of North Da-
kota. In that state the proba bilities
are that McCumber will be reelected,
and the other seat will go to AISLE j.
Gronna, progressive.

BY tomorrow night the steel will

The track laying force consists of
about 200 men and on an average
something less than two miles of
track is put down every day.
D. H. Williams, superintendent of
the Bemidji division, came to Be-
midi yesterday to arrange for the
coming of the tracks, the stringing
of wires by the telegraph crew which
follows the rail workers, and other
matters incident to the construction
of new road.
There will be no demonstration

The Lone Traip' is the title of
the first picture now being shown at
the Majestic, and it unfolds a thrill
ing tale of the land of the Midnight

1t tells of the adventures of two
men in their chase and capture of
an Indian. 1t is a film of great
dramatic force and holds the audi.
ence in the grip of intense interest
"Opening an Oyster" is the
second picture and it is not only
interesting but highly educational.
While enjoyed by everyone it
should appeal especially to school
children.
The last film is another scream

.BEM|DJI WATCHING ISINETA
Fast Horse Owned By J. W. Irwin in
State Fair Feature Race.

+ Bemidji horsemen and other local
sportsmen who are lovers of horse
racing were greatly interested in
the outcome of the free-for-all pac-
ing race, which was the feature
event of the speed program at the
state fair Monday afternoon. This
interest was occasioned by the fact
that the owner of Isineta, one of the
speediest entries in the race, is
owned by ]. w. Irwin, for many
years resident of Bemidii and
known all over Beltrami county as
a member of the big logging firm of
Irwin & O'Brien.
Mr.. Irwin purchased Isineta from
Dad" Phelps, the veteran driver of
Minneapolis, five years ago, when
Dad" was participating in the
races which were being held on the
fair ground tracks in Bemidji.
Phelps was driving Happy Hooli-
gan," then a green horse, and had
Isineta, then maiden" that had
never entered race. Dad" had
carefully reared the splendid colt
and she had shown wonderful bursts
of speed, but be was saving her for
a killing" the following year. Mr..
Irwin was greatly pleased with
Isineta, and after much persuasion
became the owner of the mare.
Isineta has developed into one of
the fastest PAGERS in the country.
While first place in yesterday 8
pacing race was conceded to Ross
K, 2-minute "phenom" from the
east, it was expected that the contest
for second place is between Isineta
and Bland S, the latter having shown
great form on the the grand circuit
this year.

There is serious trouble brewing
near the Canadian bou ndary not far

county and Game Warden Cook of
Roseau are "on the Job" Details
meager as the scene 'of conflict is
the Northwest Angle, the little three
cornered piece of Minnesota that
sticks over into Canada.
On this angle Capt. Towe resides.
Capt. Tower hunts and fishes and
runs a boat on the lake in summer
1t is said that Capt. Towers wife
has disappeared anda Scandinavian,
whose name cannot be learned is
being sought.
Capt. Towner is angered at the
Scandinavians and complained to
Game Warden Cook that the Scandi-
navian had been violating the game
laws. - r.,

making a formal complaint to the
game warden that Cook had killed a
caribou last winter.

game warden and with the Deputy
Sheriff he started for the scene Of
the fray Monday and with deer,
ducks, geese, caribou and other
game mixed up, together with wo'
man in the case, the courts Of
Roseau County are promised some
salacious material for several weeks
to come.
The bad blood between two men,
it is predicted, probably will result
in the disclosure of further violations
of the game laws, and the result will
be still more rigid observance OF
the game laws in that section.

RAIN DOES MUCH GOOD
Replenishes Water Supply and Puts
Ground in Good Condition.

More rain has fallen during the
past "a hours than the entire three
months past. The total precipitition
is about three and half inches.
Lake Bemidji shows a rise of
more than two inches.
The rain is of value in many ways
and is a real Godsend to farmers
who get their water supply from
surface wells, many of which had
gone dry, making it necessary to
haul water five and six miles for
stock as we'll as household purposes.
Many threshing machine owners
had 10 haul water six and miles
for their machines during the past
two weeks. And not only the farmers
were Inconvenience but residents
of villages were also in dire straits
as we'll. At Stephen the wells were
all dry and water frhm the creek,
totally unfit for use was the only
available supply excepting water
shipped in in bottles, and thousands
of gallons were shipped from Crooks
ton for that purpose.
AT Argyle only three or tour
wells had any water in them at all
and they were failing fast. If the
rain continues at intervals during
the next few weeks, millions of
feet of logs will be driven down
this fall, thus making an immense
supply available for the sawmills
next spring.
Another benefit will be the value
to blowing. The land was so dry
that the farmers in many instances
were finding it almost impossible to
pillow as deep as they desired.
