SPORTING NOTES

Chicago, June 2O.-Coach A. A.
Stage will deliver a lecture on
Japanese Baseball to his diamond
candidates tomorrow as preliminary
to the preparations for the Univer-
sity of Chicago invasion of the
Flowery Kingdom this fall. Fl.
Before the Maroons start on their
summer training for the games With
Waseda aud Keio universities, the
coach will admonish them against
overconfdence, on the basis of news
from Japan as to the native skill in
baseball.
The Maroon leader received a
letter yesterday from a former
Maroon, who saw the Japanese
team in action this year, and warns
Coach Stagg against expecting too
many honors in the series of ten
games. The coach. is fully con-
WINGED of the strength of Keoi and
Waseda, and says he is not willing
to predict any one-sided victories
for mis- team.
wisconsin had good team last
year, and Waseda and Keio gave
them all they could handle," said
Coach Stage. II believe our team
is good enough to represent fairly
the best class of college baseball in
America and the contests will have
a true internal significance on that
account. The summer training for
the games will be thorough and
severe" r., ..-. H.
The Keio team defeated Wisconsin
three out of four games, and Waseda
took one of the three games played
with the Badgers. The Badgers
have repeatedly declared their
respect for the Japanese game, and
the Maroons will not have any too
much confidence when they leave
for Japan in September if Coach
Stage can help it.

ENGLISH SPARROWS A
MENACE TO FARMERS
Destroy Grain and Drive Away Useful
Birds-Should Be Destroyed
with Fine Shot.

The English sparrow is looked
upon by the Minnesota state ento-
m ,logist at the experiment station
as menace to farmers, not only de-
stroying grain, but also driving
away useful birds. The division of
entomology suggests that a very
humane way of destroying them is
to feed them wheat for few morn
ings in the winter, in a straight line,
yard or field, and when the birds
have become accustomed to the
system to rake the line with a gun
loaded with fine shot.
Wheat, it has been said, may be
soaked in whiskey and eaten by the
sparrows inducing such intoxication
that they may be picked up and
killed. Destroying sparrows' nests
several times in succession, as they
were rebuilt, has discouraged nest
ing in the locality.
Destruction BY means of active
poisons is not recommended by the
division because the dead birds are
eaten by cats. poultry, etc. The
entomologist has discouraged their
roosting during the winter under
the caves of his own home and de-
filing the building, by the use of
a small collecting pistol of fine
shot, shooting them off their perches
at dusk.

ALL ROADS SHOULD Be
WITHIN SMALL GRADE
Experiments Show That the Pulling
Power Of Horses is Decreased
By Slight Rise.

A one per cent grade on a road
means rise of one foot for each
hundred feet travelled up the hill.
A ten per cent grade means ten feet
rise in each hundred feet so travelled.
A one per cent grade, then, means
that in travelling up hill one mile an
ascent is made of 52.8 feet, while a
ten per cent grade means a rise in
altitude 528 feet in mile.
Accurate tests have shown the
Minnesota experiment station that
horse which can pull 1000 pounds
on a level road can pull only $40
pounds on a rise of one foot in fifty,
and on a rise of one foot in ten
be can pull only ESQ pounds. $751;
These facts show that the greatest
load that can be hauled over road
Is the load which can be taken up
the steepest hill on that road, OF
through the deepest mud hole. It
is therefore advised that all high
ways travelled by heavily loaded
vehicles should be kept within a
three or four per cent grade if prac-
ticable.
To do this may require a change
of location to get around hills,
always keeping in mind that the
lower the grade the larger the load
may be hauled and the cost of haul
age kept at the lowest point.

HEAVENS LOOSEN up
WITH MUCH NEEDED RAIN
General Fall Reported West of Us But
More Must Come if Crops are
to be Saved.

Jupiter Pluvius took hand in the
weather tbs morning and dished us
out little dampness. The rain was
quite heavy west of US but the
amount that fell here was only drop
in the bucket to what is needed.
Early reports from the Red River
valley say that the rain came there
just in time but that more is needed.
Because of the weather reports,
the Minneapolis wheat pit was wild
yesterday. Wheat advanced six
cents after five cent rise the day
before. Telegraph wires were so
busy with buying and selling orders
that few reports on crop conditions
could be handled. Farmers along
the railroads sent in bear stories
which helped bull the market.
Travellers coming up here from
the Southern part of the state say
that conditions here are much better.
The grass down there is burned
brown and it is hard to find a green
blade even in the cities where thew
can use the garden hose. A hard
rain for three days is needed all
through the southern counties.

NELSON DEFENDS THE BILL
Styles River and Harbor Measure
Most Equitable.

Washington, June 22.-The recent
Incidental reference of Senator Burton
of Ohio to the river and harbor ap-
preparation bill as a pork BARREL" be-
cause it happened to have 296 con-
gressional districts represented in the
distribution of the funds provided for
river and harbor improvements, called
forth characteristic expression from
Senator Knute Nelson of Minnesota
who said of the bill:
II regard it as one of the fairest
ever passed by congress. In my fiji
teen years on the commerce commit
tee of the senate, and having in that
time to deal with the rivers and har-
bors of the country, and conferee on
a number of the bills in that period,
l believe the measure just become a
was was as the most equitable ana
best distributed that congress has ever
passed." ~.

COMMISSION TO PLAN
A CONSOLIDATED SCHOOL
Washington Board Will Also Plan a
Model Community Center for
Rural District.

Spokane, WASH, June 22.-When
the Country Life Commission of the
state of Washington, appointed
recently by Governor Marion E..
Hay, meets in Spokane the week of
November IA, plans will be pre-
sented for model community CEN
ter and consolidated country school,
to be established in one of the rural
districts adjoining Spokane, early in
1911.
David Brown of Spokane, chair
man of the commission, announces
that Governor Hay and possibly
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt will
attend the conference and assist in
formulating a practical plan for the
betterment of life on the farm, along
the lines suggested in the report of
the Roosevelt Commission on Coun-
try Life, which, headed by Professor
Liberty Hyde Bailey of Itasca, N. Y,
made tour OF the larger farming
districts of the United States the
later part of 1908 and early in 1909.
This is to be the preliminary step
of nationwide movement, cooper.
alive with the various states and
territories, in an endeavor to teach
the youth of the land the funda-
mental principles of agricultural and
domestic economy and manual and
industrial training, also giving the
farmers in the communities the benefit
of the most approved methods of
agriculture and allied subjects.
The community center is designed
to furnish a place where men and
women can meet for the interchange
of ideas.
Primarily, the school is for the
average boy and girl, whose institu-
tional education ends even before
they finish the secondary school, the
purpose to train them to become
useful men and women and capable
of supporting themselves, and thus
adding to the wealth prodution of
the country at large and the districts
in which they live and to better
their condition of life.

DELEGATES APPROACHED
BY SMITH EM|SSARIES
Good Authority Says Effort Was Made
to Buy Beltrami Men Saturday
and Sunday.

A report, which is based upon
good reliable authority, has it that
several of the delegates sent by
Beltrami county to the state repub-
lican convention in St. Paul yester-
day were approached last Saturday
and Sunday by Bemidji men who
had Smith money. These men it is
said, tried to bribe the Beltrami
delegates to throw their vote for
Smith so that he would get the
nomination for state treasurer.
This all happened after the county
convention here had instructed the
delegates to stand solidly for Kaiser
and see that he was elected. Smith
men were present in the convention.
but it was not supposed that they
would attempt to buy the Beltrami
delegates after they had received
the instructions from the convention.
It is a we'll kcown fact that Smith
himself has not enough money to
be buying votes and delegations on
the eve of the convention, and
aside from the fact that he and
his hackers were willing to 20 to
such lengths, it looks shady when
he has so much money to circulate.
The Beltrami delegation selected
by the county convention was CON-
posed of men who are we'll known
for their reliability and honesty and
as near as the Pioneer has been
able to find out, none of the money
offered was taken.

TAFT RESORTS
{ TO BIG STICK.
Insists on Passage Of Pos.
tai Savings Bank Bill.
SAYS HE MEANS BUSINESS

Cancels His Proposed Trip to Attend
Yale Graduation Exercises and In
Inmates That Senate Must Approve
House Measure or Stay in Session
Until Observation-Disclosures 1t Would
Be Infamous to Permit Bill to Fail.
Washington, June 22.-President
Taft resurrected the Roosevelt big
stick and served notice on the lead
ers of the senate that he would insist
on the passage of the house postal
savings bank bill or hold congress in
session until December. AS an evil
dence of good faith of his intention to
make good his threat the president
cancelled his trip to New Haven,
Conn, where he had intended at
tending the Yale graduation exercises,
and sat back in his chair to await
developments.
T. The presidents determination to get
his back up and fight for the postal
bank bill passed by the house was
reached after word had come to him
from reliable sources that some of his
own confessed friends in the senate
were encouraging the filibusterers
against the measure to take their time
In opposing the bill while they, in
turn, intimated that they would re-
main silent. 1t was hoped that out of
this situation some insurmountable OBJ
stacle to the passage of the house
bill would arise, which would result in
sending the postal bank legislation to
conference where a dozen senators
were ready to pounce upon it and in
sert special privilege amendments ga
lore. ~
! Keeps Faith With ProsressIves.
To his senatorial callers, which in
cluded Senators Crane, Lodge and FL
kins, President Taft let it be known
that he proposed to keep faith with
the combined regular and progressive
Republican strength. IN the house,
which together, under the leadership
of Representatives Weeks and Muir
dock, had brought forth the house bill
out of the first Republican house eau
Gus of the session and had it passed
under the first Republican special rule
of the session. He told them the SEN
ate bill contained special privileges
to the banks, and, in addition, that
the fundamentals of the senate bill
were not based on sound banking prin-
ciples.
1T would be Infamous for the ad-
ministration to wobble on this bill at
this juncture and the president will
not discuss the question of sending
the house bill to conference" was the
way the situation was put by the close
FREUD Of the administration.
The president went even farther in
his argument. He called attention
to the fact that the house postal bank
bill could not again be put through
the house by the same vote by which
It originally passed that body.

eer)-Walter Smith, of Eveleth,
defeated Albert Kaiser, of Bagley,
for the republican nomination for
state treasurer in the convention
here yesterday. The fight was a hard
and close one and was not decided
until the final ballot. The nomina-
ton of the supreme court judges
had resulted in neither of the
Duluth candidates winning, so that
the Duluth delegation demanded
that Smith be given a place on
the the ticket.
The ticket nominated is:
Governor-A.O. Eberhart, Mankato.
+ Lieutenant Governors. Y. Cor
don, Browns Valley.
Secretary of State-Julius A.
Schmahl, Redwood Falls.
State Auditors. J. Iverson,

Senator Moses E. Clapp, was
unanimously nominated to succeed
himself as United States Senator.
The platform adopted straddles
on the tariff question. The couven-
ton went on record as favoring
the policy of protection as defined
in the republican platform in 1908.
A resolution in favor of conserva-
ton of natural resources along the
lines suggested by Theodore
Roosevelt was adopted, but another
indorsing other Roosevelt policies
was laid on the table by an over
whelming majority. A resolution de-
nouncing the Aldrich. Payne tariff
bill as Reputation of the pledges
of the republican party to the
American people" was also defeated.
The convention, without mention
of county option, pledged the party
in Minnesota to free face and full
discussion of all proposed legisla-
ton for the regulation of the liquor
traffic. A minority report of the
resolutions committee which pro-
vided for county option plank in
the republican platform was de-
feated by vote of 63s to 435.
One of the surprises of the con-
vention was the nomination of
Brown of Luverne, to the Supreme
Court. While it was know that the
two Duluth men were fighting each
other hard, it was not thought that
third man would win out.
The ticket as named is southern
Minnesota ticket as Smith is the
only man from the northern part of
the state. st. Paul won out on
Jaggard as justice of the supreme
court, but lost on Dix as clerk.
The platform and resolutions will
be.published tomorrow.

Barker Calls on His Customers in the
Country by Using His Big
Machine.
NORTHERN SOIL FOUND TO BE
WELL SUITED FOR DAIRYING
Dairy Cream Collections for Bemidji
Wholesale House Have Already
Established Market.

Mr.. f. A. Barker and Fred
LaFavar, in the interests of Barker's
Drug Store, have begun tour of
Northern Minnesota calling on all
farmers in the territory tributary
to Bemldji.
MIR. Barker says, Our business
has grown to where it is impossible
for US to know personally all of
our customers and it is going
to be our aim during this trip to
meet our friends and to know them.
We want a personal interview with
the farmer. This country has devel-
oped to where the farmer and his
trade is valuable asset not only to
our business, but, to all the bust
ness houses in this city.
1t is wonderful how this country
has developed. In our initial trip
yesterday, out Becida and Maltby
way, we had our eyes opened. Some
of those thrifty farmers have farms
that are a credit to any country.
Some of our friends out there have
lived on their farms for ten or twelve
years and every year have made
improvements until by this time
they are prosperous.
They have applied themselves to
their business. Farming in a bust
ness way. They have met with all
kinds of set backs, have met with
with discouraging results, but,
THEY HAVE STUCK 1T OUT
and are to be admired for their
pluck and skill.
Mr.. Business Man! When you
have a customer who is farmer and
upon getting acquainted with him,
as you should, learn that that man
settled in this country about ten
years ago and started right in grub
bling out stumps and making a farm
out of forest, Mr.. Business Man,
sit up and take notice. That man
has helped to make this country
what it is. He has gone up against
the real thing so many times that
nothing is impossible for him. He
is not only a capable farmer but he
has eye to business. He is the man
you want for customer.
These are the people we are 60
ing to meet during our tour and as
far as possible we are going to get
acquainted with every farmer in this
country. Our business will have
some friends back of it that are
stickers from the word 60.
uS ldt llCl W luio NOuullJ
learned from experience that this is
a natural dairy country and is work
ing to that end. One has only to
notice how grass grows wild and how
it sows itself every where to appre.
ciate this condition.
One of our progressive firms here,
namely, Melges Brothers Company
Creamery, are awake to this situa-
ton. Our friends out Becida and
Maltby way tell US that Melges
have established a cream route and
it is possible for them to send their
cream to the Bemidji Creamery daily.
Now that is business and it is those
very things that Mr.. Farmer is after.
Make Bemidji his market.
we are making all the territory
we can in our Velie automobile and
intended at first to cover part of the
territory with a team, but this will
hardly be necessary. The roads are
fine.
You town people should get out
and see the country. We certainly
have roads and miles and miles of
them and we have the farmers that
made them.
