County Auditor Georges Office Has
Issued Ten Licenses Up to
Noon Today.
GAME LAWS TO BE ENFORCED
Prairie Chicken, Duck and Geese are
Among the First Allowed to
Be Killed.

It appears that many people were
under the impression that the hunt
ing season opened today, September
first. The hunting season for fall
opens September and the following
game can be slaughtered from this
date until November 1: turtle dove,
snipe, prairie chicken, pinnated,
white breasted or sharp tailed
grouse, wood cock, upland plover
and golden plover.
The open season from September Z
until December 1 is for wild duck,
goose and all other aquatic fowl
The season for quail, partridge,
ruffled grouse and pheasant opens
October l and closes December l..
Moose and deer may be killed only
from November 10 until December /.
The game laws are very distinct
and the auditors Office is passing out
information leaflets showing the open
and closed season in the state of Min
nesota.
Residents of the county may hunt
small game only in their own county.
"a license is required to hunt IN an
other county andthis can be obtained
in the county auditors Office for the
small fee of one dollar. Indications
are that hunters will be as plentiful
this fall as previous years, and also
that game will be more plentiful than
the past few years.
The following persons have already
secured hunting licenses in the court
house:
Alfred Heft, Blackduck, was the
first person to secure license, the
others in their order are: H. H.
Mayer, Bemidji; G.. M. Palmer, Be-
midi; B. w. Lakin, Bemidji; A. E.
Chamberlain, Bemidji; F. S. Lycan,
Bemidji; R. L, Given, Bemidji; Dan
Rose, Bemidji; O. o. Simonson, Be-
midi, and L. R. Tidd, Bemidji.
The sale of fish and game is pro-
hibited at all times. 1t is also an
offense to offer to sell or to buy
game. The law permits hunters of
large game to secure one male ant
Tered moose (not to be shipped out
of the state unless mounted), one
deer, Is birds Zone days bag). The
number allowed to have in possession
at one time, fifty aquatic fowl, forty
five other game birds and a non-resi-
dent is allowed to ship twenty-five
game birds to place of residence.

.RlDDELL GOES TO FAIR.
Will Boost For and Talk 0pportuni.
ties in Northern Minnesota and
Beltrami County.
WILL DISTRIBUTE LITERATURE

J. P. Riddell, who is in charge OF
the land selling department of the
Crookston Lumber Company, leaves
tonight for the StatesEFair Ground
where he will assist A. P. Ritchle
in the work of preparing the Beltra-
mi County booth.
His main purpose for being there
is to boost for Beltrami county and
present facts to the visitors of the
fair about the opportunities and land
buying prospects in this county. He
is loaded with genuine enthusiasm,
backed up by literature describing
the lands in this community and quo
tations Of the prices asked by his
company. What he tells people will
be proven by the display Of produce
raised in this county and on exhibi-
tion in the booth.
When seen today Mrs Riddell said,
81 believe that Beltrami will be
awarded first place at the State fair,
over all the countless represented.
Never before have l seen such fine
display of grains and grasses and sell
dom an equal in root crops and
corn"
Mr.. Riddell will remain there all
week and will at all times be glad
to meet people from this city and
county.
The Crookston Lumber Company is
doing much to advertise this county
as well as other parts Sof Northern
Minnesota, having gotten out several
folders and fine booklet with illus
trations and descriptions of their
lands in this communitY Ten thou-
sand copies will be distributed in adj

RICHIE MAKING FARM MODEL
Has Up-to-Date Structure and Has
Just Put 40 Tons ia SSilo.

- With the completion Fof the A. P.
Ritchie barn and silo, on his farm
about two and one-half miles south
west of Bemidji, Beltrami gains an
other modern and up-to-date farming
establishment. The barn covers a
ground space of 32x6O feet and is one
of the largest in northern Minneso-
ia. 1t is modern in every detail. 1t
is equipped with a sanitary drain
which is connected with a large cess
pool. This permits the washing out
of the cutters of the barn and keeps
the stables in the most sanitary con-
dition.
The barn is fitted to care for 40
cattle. At the present time, Mr..
Ritchie has 20 milch. cows and ex-
poets to get ten more this fall.
The barn is one of the highest in
the state, being 16 feet from the
foundation to the wall plate and II
feet from. the wall plate to the top
1t will probably carry more tons of
hay than any barn in the county
At the west end of the barn he has
just completed the building of large
200 ton silo. The work of filling the
silo with ensilage has been going on
for the past week and more than 14O
tons have been stored in this winter
food vault for cattle.
The building including the house,
stand On a high bank overlooking the
Mississippi River, it being one of the
most beautiful spots in this county
The surroundings are also beautiful
the front yard being shaded with
large shade trees, as we'll as the i'm
mediate surroundings of the outer
buildings and yard.
Mr.. Ritchie is planning to run his
pump to furnish the water supply fo1
his cattle by gasoline engine. The
wind mill can not always be relied
upon, and therefore, he is taking nc
chances. When the entire work has
been completed, this farm will be
one of the most modern and up-to.
date in the state. .....

Taken Before Court Commissioner ST.
mons for Preliminary Examination
Upon Arrival. -
ATTORNEY SAYS "PERSECUTION''
Judge Spooner Says Present Move
Looks Like Grandstand Play and is
Injustice to, His Client.

DR.. D. F. Dumas, mayor of Cass
Lake, held since June IL, on $4,000
bail on charges growing out of the
attempted robbery Of the Smyth store.
at Puposky when Martin Behan was
wounded and captured and his pal,
Mike Davis took safely to the tall
timber, was rearrested this morning
at Cass Lake by United States Deputy
Marshal Frank Tufts of Long Prairie
on charges Of conspiracy growing out
of the sPuposky affair.
DR.. Dumas was brought gto Bemid-
il this afternoon and arraigned be-
fore Court Commissioned II Sim
ons.s
He will probably waive exami-
nation and be bound over to await
the action of the federal grand jury
when it meets at Fergus Falls. tits
also likely that bail will be furnished
by the defendants father and friends.
DR.. Dumas father arrived from
Minneap oils Last Eenlng with re-.
neWed assertions of his belief that
his son is innocent of any real wrong
done no matter how many times he
may be arrested or by whom. 1t is
understood the elder Dumas will give
his boy all the financial assistance
needed. 49,.
Judge Spooner did not attempt to
conceal his indignation over the re-
arrest of his client.
81 am not entirely surprised at this
proceedings" he said, "although it
had generally been supposed that the
government was going to permit the
defense to establish his standing at
the case being brought against him
by the state.
"Coming at this time, it certainly
looks very much like a case of per-
secution.
'It should be remembered that Dr.
Dumas had been under $4,000 bond
since June II and that he has been
at his home in Cass Lake or in Be-
midi every day since then, at all
times within reaching distance Of any
person who might wish to see him.
Then why should he be put to the
present embarrassment of being
dragged a second time into court to
again be compelled to put up bonds?
eff this new charge emanates from
those who are to prosecute DR.. Dumas
for the state, it must appear to fair
minded persons that an effort is on,
not SO much to bring an alleged Of
fender to the bar of justice, as an
effort to bring about conviction at
all hazards and in any manner pos
sible, even to the point of springing
such sensational tricks as this just
before a man is to be the subject of
court procedure at the hands of the
state.''
United States Attorney Okley or
Dickie will probably represent the
government at the examination be-
fore Judge Simons this afternoon.

Secures Potato Growers Crops for
the New Bemidji Organizations
Warehouse.
LOCAL FIRM PAYS ~ CENTS
Former Prices for Butter Fat Raised
Seven and Eight Cents Per
Pound.

The Bemidji Cooperative Associa-
tion is meeting with decided success
in the securing of new shippers for
the local creamery here.
Mrs. l.. Dickinson, representative
for the association, has been out on
the road for the purpose of securing
new shippers to this creamery. She
left last Tuesday and returned on
Thursday morning having secured
nineteen new shippers, which brings
the total number of shippers up to
over the two hundred mark.
The following is list of the ship
pers secured by Mrs. L. Dickinson on
her last trip:
J. Hickey, E. Carlson, NJ H. Strand,
e. Erickson, Ole Solberg, Mrs. J. O.
Tuft, E. D. Munson, James Flynn,
A. o. MiXten, Robert Landmark, Pc
ter Martin, Gustav Landmark, Oscar
Landmark, John Isaacson, Leonard
Carlson, Wm Stensing, Sud Ehlers.
Her work was not confined entire
ly to the securing of shippers for the
creamery, but also for potato grow
ers. She has secured the promise Of
a shipment of a car load of potatoes
the latter part of the week or the
first of next week for the Potato
Growers Association recently organ
lied in the city.
Farmers and dairymen in the vi
cinity of Leonard, where the nine
teen new shippers were secured, had
formerly been paid only nineteen
cents for their butter fat. Today the
local creamery pays twenty-seven on
extra butter fat shipments. None of
the money which is taken in on the
cream is deducted for the sinking
fund of the Association. This fund is
maintained by assessments on the
stockholders.
Mrs. Dickinson reports some inter-
esting incidents on her trip. Many
of the shippers, who have been ship
ping to other concerns were very
hard to secure for the local cream
cry. Her arguments in most instanc-
es being that the local creamery has
offered to pay twenty-seven cents a
pound for the same article they re-
ceived nineteen cents pound, and
that, unless they back up the local
creamery the rates will go back to
nineteen cents as formerly paid. The
Bemidji Creamery has the advantage
over outside creameries in many re-
spects.
A. P. Ritchie, secretary of the To-
cal Cooperative Association, keeps in
close touch with conditions surround
ing the local creamery and butter
market. Through the united efforts
of Mr.. Ritchie and the butter maker,
Mr.. Cleveland, as we'll as the assist
ance Of Mrs. Dickinson, this cream
cry is forging to the front and max
ing progress more rapidly than 9TH
err organizations of it's kind in this
community.

on July 8 and August and 2, have
been received. Those who received
certificates are: Vera Backus, Benlid-

Rose Zimmerman, Blackduck; c. G.
Buell., Bemidji; Nellie G.. Erickson,
Bemidji; Martha Senske, Baudette;
Arville Patterson, Wilton; and Anna
Sversvold, Underwood.
The number who took the exami-
nation was very small compared to
the number which usually take the
examinations in this city but that is
accounted for by there being no ses-
sion of summer school having been
held in this city. Most of the teach
ers attended summer school in other
towns and took the examinations
there -. - =

LEAVENWORTH, KAS. : When
the parole board meets at the Federal

case to be considered will be that of
John R. Walsh, the former Chicago
banker. Mr.. Walsh entered the pen

having violated the banking laws.
Recently President Taft refused to
grant him a pardon, but it is believed
he will be parOled when the board
meets. At the direction of Attorney
General Wickersham the outstanding
indictments against Mr.. Walsh have

WOMEN AND WALL STREET.
The Fair Sex Make Good Winners But
bad Losers.

women spectators have a habit Of
giving to brokers orders with a string
attached to them says n writer in the
May Strand. A woman who owned some
bank stock asked broker to sell it at
two hundred fifty dollars If he
thought she could not get any more
for 1t. The market in this stock had been
inactive for months, and two hundred and
fifty dollars was the highest price ever
recorded for it. The next day the broker
had a chance to sell the stock at two
hundred and fifty dollars. It so happened
that on the same day lively demand
for this bank stock developed, and before
the day was over it was selling at three
hundred dollars. The broker wrote to his
woman customer that he had sold her
stock for two hundred and fifty dollars
a share, and would she send her certfi-
cate to him for delivery to the purchaser.
She refused to deliver the stock
You ought to have known better than
to sell 1t for two hundred and fifty dol
lars" she demonstrated. II am going
10 sell 1t to-day myself for three hun
dred dollars"
IT was not until the broker appealed
10 the courts that he succeeded In get
tiiS TIE StOCh from the woman.
Here is another sample of the way
women play the market. woman GUS
toner Of Wall Street brokerage house
telephoned the manager one day:
How Is Pennsylvania?
IT'S selling at one hundred and thirty
two"
We'll / wish you would sell nv fifty
shares at one hundred and thirty-two
and half. But If 1t looks strong at ono
hundred and thirty-two and a half. don I
sell It,"
When Pennsylvania touched one hum
dred end thirty-two and a half, 1t did
not look unusually strong, and the bro
ker sold the woman's shares. Later in
the day she telcphoncd
How is Pennsylvania now?'
It's UP to one hundred and thirty
four"
Then don't sell mine until it touches
one hundred and thirty-five"
But I've already sold it at one hun
dred and thirty-two and a half"
How stupid OF you told You not
to sell If it was strong"
But it wasn't very strong at that
time"
1t must have been, or it wouldn't
have gone up. I'm going to take my ac-
count out of your office"
The broker gave long, grateful sigh.
Therefore. the dctum OF Wall Street
is that women are good winners but
bad losers. 1t Is difficult to reason about
money and business with an angry or
weeping woman, Her view of Wall Street
and all its works suddenly becomes en-
tirely emotional. and only a broker with
an infinite patience can calm her, Many
