Best Location at State FanSecured
By Mackenzie For This County's
First Display
TALKS PLEDGES" AT DULUTH
Bemidji Man Tells Reporter That All
But About Eight Candidates In
North Will Sign. ~.

Beltrami has secured the most
favorably located booth of any of
the counties having displays at the
coming state fair" said w. R.
Mackenzie who returned yesterday
from st. Paul where he has been to
arrange for Beltrami's first exhibit
at the great Minnesota exposition.
Mr.. Mackenzie will have personal
charge of the exhibit. He will
sleep on the fair grounds, devoting
his entire time to the display from
this county, which is to be shipped
on Thursday so that it can be in
perfect order for the opening of the
fair next Monday morning.
Display to be a Dandy"
Our booth will be No. 46" said
Mr.. Mackenzie, and it will occupy
a prominent position in the rotunda
of the main exhibition building. I
secured the choice of all locations
and selected this one because it is at
a point to be passed by the greatest
number of persons. I shall round
the exhibit up-and it's going to be
a dandy-and take it down on Thurs
day. The booth will be constructed
by that time and we can go to work
arranging our display to the best ad-
vantage"
Talks Pledges to Duluth Reporter.
Mr.. Mackenzie came back by
way of Duluth where Herald re-
porter extracted the following
from him.
eve have sent out about 125 of
pledges to candidates in the north
ern part of the state and of that
number about IS have been signed.
We expect that all but eight or
ten of the Northern Minnesota
candidates will sign.
These pledges are being sent
not only to those who have filed.
but also to men who are mentioned
as probable candidates.
Southern Minnesota sentiment
as reflected by the press of that
part of the state is friendly to the
reapportionment movement, fair
minded editors realizing the justice
of the claims of Northern Minnesota
to equality of representation"

H. 0. BJ0RGE SPRINGS POEM
Steenerson's Republican Opponent
Poses as MAN Behind the Axe

Lake Park, Mimi, Aug. o.
Henry o. Bjorge, candidate for con.
gress, is out with a campaign card
similar to that used two years ago
by Ole Sageng, with the difference
that instead of being known as the
man behind the pillow" Mr.. Bjorge's
campaign slogan will be the man
behind the axe"
The card is in the shape of a
cartoon, the principal object on
which is a stump bearing on top oil
it the head of Speaker Cannon. TIC
the right is the stump puller, operated
by a team labelled public opinion
and they have that Cannon stump
pretty near pulled out of the ground
and Mr.. Bjoree stands with an axe,
which he had imbedded into one of
the roots just before the photo.
gragher arrived on the scene.
The reverse side of the card has
two verses of alleged poetry, one of
which reads like this:
If you him to congress send
This task he will finish with axe in
hand, F.. ...s
The peoples rights he will defend
And the trusts he will fight to the
bitter end. .
Cannon and Cannonism he will reject
And the corporations cunning he will
detect.
IT'S Bjorge they call him if you ask
Who with the axe will perform this
p. task"
Ole Sageng's campaign slogan OF
the man behind the plcw" was a
great success two years ago. Mr..
Bjorge's imitation, because of the
attempted poetry, if for no other
reason, will not prove to be 50
popular.

ROUNDING UP FAIR EXHIBIT
Mackenzie Warns Farmers to Bring
in Offerings at Once.

In an final effort to make the
Beltrami exhibit at the state fair
one that will attack special atten-
ton and worthy of the fine location
which has been given it, w. R.
Mackenzie requests all persons who
have grains, grasses, fruit, vegetables
anything elese representative of
Beltrami's productiveness, to bring
them to his office in the Schroedre
block. " ~
The last day on which these ex-
hibits can be accepted is Wednes-
day of this week, and the sooner
that they can be turned in the better
it will be for all concerned?

WHY BELTRAM| CAN'T PLAY
Deputy Sheriff Rutledge Passes Base.
ball Championship to Koochiching.

For good and sufficient reasons
Beltrami county officials will not
play ball with Koochiching. The
International Falls Press explains it
all as follows:
That the Koochiching County
officials can claim the championship
in the base ball line is evident from
the following letter recently received
from A. G.. Rutledge, deputy sheriff
of Beltrami county. "Doc." as he
is better known by his many friends
in northern Minnesota, is sport of
the first class, but knows when he is
up against it.. The letter to E. J.
Holler says:
Have delayed answering your bold, bad
challenge for ball game until could
CONSULT all of the officers of the county;
and it is with much modification of the
spirit of fifteen years ago that l must

ball supremacy between Beltrami and
Koochiching counties lies with the
Koochiching county officials, who appear
to have us of Beltrami comfy backed

MANY EMPLOYERS SIGNING UP
Striking Garment Makers Gaining
Steadily in New York.

Steadily in New York.
New York, Aug. 20. Secret settle
ments are the order of the day now
in the great strike of $4,000 makers of
women's cloaks and suits.
Every day manufacturers are APP
pearing at settlement headquarters"
on Thirty-fourth street and signing
the agreement on condition that moth
ing be given out for publication. It's
a case of grabbing off as many orders
as possible before the other fellow
knows it and capitulates also. The old
jealousy between the manufacturers
is working their undoing.
Nineteen members of the big en-
ployers' association bosses union
have capitulated. More are signing
up every day. OF the 1900 shops af-
fected 975 are now running again as
strictly union shops. OF $4,000 men
and women who struck early in July,
only 10000 are still jobless.

Things That Will Be Displayed.

The exhibit consists of numer-
Gus photographs, statistical charts,
notices, diagrams, window tents,
model rooms and specimens CT
diseased organs.
DR.. Marclay, superintendent OF
the Walker sanitariom, is expected
to speak as will also DR.. Hill OF
the state board of health, while lee.
lures illustrated by steropticon
slides will be given by Mr.. Blakey.
The Bemidji exhibit j., being ar.
ranged with the aid of local physi.
clans. There is no expense to the
city, except for advertising and hall.
Conditions Here Need Attention.
You might think that there
wouldn't be much danger from this
plague in the pure air of northern
Minnesota, said Mr.. Blakey, but
there is. Not far from here we
found family of eleven persons all
living in a one room log house.
Such conditions are bound to breed
disease. It is our aim to explain
such dangers and warn the people OF
lurking germs.
The exhibit will not be entirely
a tuberculosis meeting. All topics
of hygiene and diseases leading up
to tuberculosis will be treated
That it is important to get at the
disease early is shown by the fact
that of the cases secured in early
stages the percentage of cures runs
as high as eighty per cent, while in
the advanced stage the percentage
of cures is not more than three per
cent"

Scientific Farming Wins Great Victory
in Northern Minnesota Declares
Daniel E. Willard.
GETS PROOF ON STAGE RIDE
Sees Corn Fields, One Flourishing; the
Other Dismal Failure-Wants
Figures.

a few days ago, on stage ride
from Itasca State Park to Park
Rapids" says Daniel E. Willard,
development agent of the Northern
Pacific in a communication to the
Pieneer, some striking illustrations
of the results of good and poor farm
ing methods were observed, which
were so very striking as to be con-
vincing.
There is much talk nowadays
about improved methods of agricul-
ture, and very properly so. Would
that there were more, and more
PRACTICE of better methods. The
examples observed show what can
be done on light sandy soils of
Northern Minnesota when properly
handled.
Two Farms Show Science and Failure
There are not a great number of
farms in the district between Park
Rapids and the State Park. Much
of the land is cut.over sandy hills
and swamps. But there is occajonally
a cultivated farm. On two farms
were observed corn fields on the one
hand showing a good profit paying
crop; on the other dismal failure.
There was no essential difference in
the character of the soil that could
be observed; but there was differ
ence in the crop so striking that the
casual observer in passing could
hardly fail to notice it.
Land Should be EARNED Right.
This lesson points a moral in re-
lation to farming in Northern Min
nesota. 1t is probably true that
there are lands which are too sandy
to be of much value for general
agriculture, and such lands may
probably better be devoted to pro-
ductive forestry, for it is known that
trees will grow even on the poorest
land in Minnesota or elsewhere.
But farming is bound to be done
on much of the land in Northern
Minnesota, and if it is going to be
done it is important both for the
welfare of the individual farmer and
for the development of the State
that it should be done we'll.
Wants Farmers to Send Figures.
The Northern Pacific Railway,
through its Development Depart
ment, is seeking to promote the ad-
vancement of better agriculture, and
among other things is making an
effort to collect definite information
regarding crop yields and methods
of cultivation.
1t would be appreciated by the
Development Agent, who has this
work in charge, if farmers would
write him at his headquarters in St.
Paul giving the actual results OBJ
tanned upon their own farms, stat
ing number of acres cultivated and
planted to any crop, stating the
time of blowing, depth of blowing,
character and frequency of cultiva-
ton.

Maudlin Sympathy.

1t il said that the betting is on Eddie Fay
chances Of escape. That Is to say, bets made
that the post-ofice robbers now confined in Henrico
iail will be at large when the case is called for
trial This is idle gossip, of course but it should
have the effect to make the Henrico jailer and
his men more vigilant The escape of these pris-
oners would be disgrace to the county. With
b modern jail well built and with full knowledge
of the character of the men in hand, their escape
woaid BIO ;nexcusable and should not be excused
And yet If the 'tyeggmen" should break Jail
end regain their liberty there would be others than
those who have ytaked their money on the affrma
tive side of the question to Feel of gadness
There are honest men and women, especially wo-
men, who have maudlin sympathy with criminals
OF this class All such were sorry when the scamps
were caught and would inwardly rejoice it, after
all, they should evade the law. 1t is much the
same sentimentasty that sends flowers to muir
derers and acquits defaulters
The feeling is different however if some of these
same sentmentalists chance to be the victims OF
the robbers.
But how honest sympathize with the
thieves who robbed the postoffice9 1t has not yet
been proven that the men now confined in Henrico
Jail are the robbers They have not yet been tried
and the burden of proof is the Government
But whoever did the job are robbers and
the robber is murderer at heart In most cases
he goes about his work well armed and, if need be
he will shoot to kill in order to accomplish his
purpose, or to effect his escape. 1t is much a
crime to break into post-ofice, crack safe and
steal government stamps, as it Is to rob a bank
Y And for the protection Of society the courts must
( punish robbers whenever they are apprehended
When society sympathizes with such criminals ii
encourages crime and puts itself in jeopardy.
