TELLS OF WILD RIDE HERE
St. Cloud Banker Goes Home With
Wierd Tale Of Trip in Forest
With Auto.
DODGESTREESAT 60 MILES HOUR

The st. Cloud Journal-Press runs
the following:
"Major o. H. Havill, who is some
thing of an autOmobilist himself, re-
turns home from Bemidji with the
following thriller:
'''It was along about midnight
when Col. Shaw of Clearwater, Sena-
tor Works of Mankato and l were in
vited to take a little ride and get
cooled off before going to bed. In
our innocence we accepted. The
driver took us about 16 miles out
through a dense forest of tall pines
where the road was hardly a blazed
trail, and the track was very crook
ed and sandy. The man at the
wheel turned on the juice and we
went skating through those pine
trees, at about 60 miles an hour
Part of the time we were going side
ways, and most of the time up in
the air, and Col. Shaw wanted tc
know whether we were riding in an
aeroplane or an auto. We knocked
the bark off several trees, ran over a
hedgehog, killed two woodchucks
and outran every jack rabbit that
got into the race There was an
automobile ahead of us, and four be-
hind us, and when we were not in
danger of humping into the head one
we were afraid of being run over by
the trailers. All we could see in
front was a cloud of dust, and be-
hind four great streaming lights
and we could only see the pines
when we were thrown up in the all
going over bumps. We returned
home at o'clock in the morning
and l consider it the best evidence
that I have lived a correct, honest
and upright life, and that I am alive
to tell the tale. No wicked mar
could ever come through un.
scathed.'

TEND GARDEN OR LOSE IT
Children Warned By Professor Bergh
Failure to Report for Work
Causes Loss.
So TRACTS UNDER CULTIVATION

Professor Otto l. Bergh, in charge
Of the demonstration farm being cul-
tivated as part of the agricultural
course of the Bemidji high school
informs the pupils of the fifth
sixth and seventh grades who have
SO garden tracts planted, that those
who fail to properly attend to their
gardens by the end of the week will
lose their standing in the garden
contest. Prizes are to be awarded
this fall for the best garden and for
the best product of each plant.
Mr.. Bergh also gives the children
some valuable advice. He says:
Il want to say few words
through the Pioneer to the Children
regarding the school gardens.
1--WE have had a splendid rain:
Just what was most needed for our
growing plants. They look bright
and strong and fresh today. But in
order that they may receive the
most benefit from the freshening
rain they must be cared for at once.
maxim that all good gardeners fol-
low-AFTER EACH AND EVERY
RAIN THE SOIL OF THE GARDEN
SHOULD BE STIRRED AS SOON AS
THE SURFACE IS DRY ENOUGH
TO CRUMBLE.
"Come out tomorrow and see how
your garden has grown,-pick the
weeds and stir the soil. Many of
your gardens are in excellent shape.
But even the best need care. A few
gardens have been sadly neglected.
"The owners of these should get
busy at once. Any garden left neg
lected at the end of this week will
be considered abandoned and turned
over to others who are eager to care
for them
1--WE also wish to announce here
that Mr.. G. e. Battles has presented
to the school an 'Iron Age'' garden
planter with hand cultivator attach
ment. This is a most useful garden
machine and the best of it's kind
1t will be at your service at all
times Come and see it,"
Boys and girls have gardens on the
Schuch tract, some of the more am
bilious having two tracts each. At
the present radishes and lettuce are
being harvested. Other things
planted are potatoes, corn, beans,
cucumbers, melons and tomatoes.
During the present week tomato
plants have been set out with splen-
did results. About thirty children
are assisting in the garden work
and a record of each garden is daily
kept by Mr.. Bergh.

500 Line BOOSTS BEMIDJ|
New Publication, "A Competence
From 40 Acres in Northern Min
esota" Cites Beltrami.
NICE THINGS SAID ABOUT CITY

Bemidji and Beltrami county
come in or-boosts in new and
handsomely printed 500 booklet un-
der the title "A Competence from 40
Acres in Northern Minnesota. "
Photographs show scenes in this
vicinity and the phamplet says of
Bemidji:
"Bemidji is city of about 5000
people and is marvel of activity
and prosperity. The majority of
the residents own their own homes.
The city owns it's own water plant,
miles of sanitory sewer and splen-
did fire department.
Lake Bemidji, on the shore of
which the town is built, is an en-
largement of the Mississippi river,
which makes it historical, and is a
splendid sheet of water. The lake
is appreciated by the townspeople,
as evidenced by the large number of
launches and small boats which line
the docks and boat houses along the
town side of the lake. The town is
surrounded by heavy growth of
timber-cedar, hemlock, spruce and
pine; and there are some very pretty
drives about the city, which are be-
ing greatly improved by graveling.
"The city has at present fifteen
hotels; two parks; ten miles of lake
shore drives; four sawmills Zone of
them the largest in the northern
part of the state); four wholesale
houses; three banks and eight
churches. The town has organized
a commercial club, which is doing a
good work.
OF Beltrami county the booklet
has this to say:
"Soil clay loan and sandy loan
with rich vegetable mold. The sub
soil is usually clay. Plenty of hay
meadows for stock. Along the line
will be found magnificent growth of
pine, maple, ash, birch, oak, bass
wood, elm and .tamarack timber
Dairying, live stock, and poultry are
carried on by the settlers and rich
harvests of potatoes, onions and mis-
cellaneous vegetables can be grown
with ease and certainty

Alligators often lay from thirty
to sixty eggs in single nest. The
eggs are similar in shape to those
of duck and about three inches in
length. When they first appear the
young alligators are about the same
size as lizards and almost as lively.
Until within recent years there
had been ascertained no trustworthy
way of finding out the age of fish.
1t has been shown that mere size
does not indicate age. Reibisch,
Heincke and others have discovered
that many of the bones, scales and
abilities of fishes have annual age

Dewarra, a currency of New Bri-
tain is an instance of how the spoils
of the chase may be turned to account
as the outward and visible sign of
wealth. Dewarro is made by string
ing the shells of a dog whelk upon
the ribs of palm leaves. These
strings may be retailed at so much
a fathom-usually the price is equi-
valent to about IS cents a fathom
length-or they may be made into
various articles of personal adorn-
ment to be worn on great occasions.
In New Britain the dewarra hoard
ed up by a rich man is produced at
his funeral and divided among his
heirs in much the same kind of way
as personal property is divided
among us.

Three men left Bemidji today on
an important and mysterious mission
in connection with the DR.. Dumas ar
rest and Puposky robbery. They were
Detective Fielding, assistant fire
marshall, Sam Fullerton and Deputy
Sheriff Helmer.
1t is understood that Mr.. Fullerton
has gone to Cass Lake but the des-

tectives and nothing is being given
out for publication.
Dumas Father Coming.
The father of DR.. Dumas is ex-
pected in Bemidji this afternoon to
remain until after his sons hearing
here before Court Commissioner
Simons on Wednesday.
Dr.. D. T. Dumas makes frequent
visits to Bemidji to consult his
counsel, Judge Marshall A. Spooner
and Attorney A. A. Andrews. He
declares if public sentiment has ever
been against him it now is turning
in his favor.
The current issue of the Cass Lake
Times has this to say:
What His Home Paper Says.
''The general opinion of our people
is, that if DR.. Dumas or any others
have been guilty of the crimes
charged they should be punished as
the law directs, but every one who
ventures to express an opinion OPEN
ly demands full and convincing proof
before they are willing to condemn.
CDR. Dumas has been president of
our village council for something
more than year; he has given COM
plete satisfaction and if his admin
istration has not been the best it has
been as good as we have ever had.
We are willing to suspend our opin-
ions until such developments have
been made that will convince"

Never Was Any Doubt But That
Building Destroyed Had Pur-
posely Been 1gnited.
NITRO USED TO BLOW SAFE
More Than $240 Taken, Guilty Per-
sons Making Escape on Handcar
Found at Pike Bay.

Bena, Mlnn., June 26.--An lnVeS-
tigation into the allegations made in
connection with the arrest, of Mayor
Dumas of Cass Lake, charged with
completely in the attempt to burn
the postottice at Puposky, wherein
reference is made to the burning of
a store building in this place be-
longing to Ernest Flemming, a local
merchant, brings to light the fact
that not only was Mr.. Flemming' IS
old store building burned to the
ground and the contents totally des-
troyed by a fire of undoubted in
cendiary origin, but that one year
later the safe in the postofice de-
partment of Mr.. Flemming's new
store was blown and later an attempt
was made to- burn the large new
building which Mr.. Flemming con-
structed on the site of the burned
store.
Chief of Police Talks.
Mr.. Flemming is away in the
Third River country, northwest of
Bena looking after a big drive of
logs and could not be interviewed,
but Al. Mason, chief of police at
Bena, was we'll informed in all mat
ters relating to Mr.. Flemming's
losses and attempts to destroy his
property, and conversed freely there
on.
Said Chief Mason:
"Mr. Flemming's old store build
ing, which was one of the best and
contained one of the most complete
lines OF general merchandise in nor
thern Minnesota, was burned three
years ago, and that the fire was of
incendiary origin there is not the
least doubt. There were signs of
Oil having been poured on parts of
the building that were not already
in flames which the fire was dis
covered, and boards and other COM
bustible material had been piled
against the rear, insuring a quick
blaze
Burned While Saving Books.
Mr.. Flemming was badly burned
trying to save his books and valu-
able papers. No positive proof
could ever be obtained as to who set
the fire, but there has always been
a suspicion that certain men who
have lived in Cass Lake and Deer
River were responsible, and that the
men who actually *torched' the place
were hired to do it.
1.-TWO years ago." said Mr.. Mason.
the postofiice safe in Mr.. Flemming's
store was blown with nitro glycerine
and a considerable amount of cash
and $24O worth of stamps were
taken. There was no real clue to
the identity of the robbers who blew
the safe, but there were unmistake-
able signs that the safe-blowers had
made their getaway to Cass Lake
The night of the robbery the section
house was broken into and crowbars
and other heavy tools were removed
which were found in the rear of the
store.

"The handcar was stolen, and the
next day the car was found ditch ed
