To show the progress Of American
railroad building and operation for
the past thirty years, the Santa Fe
road today started out a demonstra-
ton OF fourteen cars which will be
operated over all the lines of the
company between Topeka and Abe
querque. Heading the train is one
of the monster Mallet locomotives re-
Gently constructed in the shops of the
company in Topeka. Following
close behind is an old style wood
burning locomotive operated by the
Santa Fe 80 years ago. The train
also includes the old style and the
latest improved types of fat cars,~box
cars, coal cars, passenger coaches and
cabOoses.

Maine Wet By 20 Votes.

Augusta, Me-, Sept. 19.-Com-
plete official returns from the
special election of last Monday,
when Maine voted on the ques-
ton of the repeal of the consti-
tutional prohibition amendment,
as canvassed by the governor and
council last night, showed a ma
jority of twenty votes in favor of
repeal.
Some doubt still remains as to
the correctness of the returns
and Governor Plaisted announced
that the city and town clerks
would be given twenty days to
check the results.

What is Wanted.

Quickly explained, the idea simply
is: Make such inducements as to in
sure a record breaking crowd in Be-

Then, too, it is expected that a
public marriage, the ceremony to be
performed free, will be an attraction,
the fortunate young couple, whoever
it may be, probably being the recip-

Dairy Exhibit Praised.

"The Dairy department exhibit was
declared by experts to be the best
ever seen at any state fair. In the
woman's, the horticultural, foricul-
tural and other departments the num-
Der of entries was larger than ever
before and the thought and work
expended brought results which We're
appreciated by all classes of visitors.
THE verdict of the majority of
visitors was that the management I'M
der the direction of Secretary J. G.
Eimpson had emphatically made
good that they had placed the Min
nesota State Fair on a higher plane,
that they had given to it it's rightful
functions of entertaining and in
structing it's visitors and advertising
to the world the greatness of this
state
"The unfavorable weather condi-
lions kept the attendance down SO
that there will be a small deficit.
Arrangements have been made to
take care of this and the work of
making the Minnesota State Fair
greater will be continued without fin

Whereas, the Minnesota State

in their efforts to give the best
possible fair and exposition.

that the managers of this society -

citation and thanks for their 10y

Farm Displays Elaborate.

There has never been in the Unit
ed States or probably in the world
greater sectional display of agricul-
tural resources than that seen at the
state fair just closed. The 1911 fair
has rightly been called an agricul-
1ural fair. If having exhibits of the
soil products from "a counties of the
state and showing what can be best
produced in every section constitutes
an agricultural fair then certainly
the one just closed was one.
1.-The livestock entries were more
numerous than ever before and the
showing of pure bred cattle, horses,
sheep and swine was not only more
creditable than that ever made mere

State Feels Safe.


Beginning at the moment of the
dramatic arrest at Puposky on the
night of June 16 last, of Martin Be-
han, wounded in the fight between
Pinkerton detectives and county Off
GERS and Behan and Mike Davis, who
ESCAPED, and subsequent arrest Of Dr..
Dumas at EI1bbing on the day follow
ing, the forces representing the state
have maintained that they would es-
tablish in open court the fact that
Cass Lakes mayor is dangerous law
breaker, and now, with the opening
of court but few hours away, this
assertion is reiterated.
What Will Be the Defense? ~
What the defense of DR.. Dumas
will be, never has been made public.
DR.. Dumas never has made a COM
plete statement, although frequently
he has declared his innocence and IN
private talks has attempted to ex-
plain the discriminating attacks made
by the state.
That some move out of the ordi-
nary is contemplated by the defense
is indicated by the attitude of the at.
tornevs for the defense that men to
act as jurymen will not be needed
when court convenes in the morning.
Minneapolis Attorney Here.
Freeman P. Lane, the well known
Minneapolis attorney, is in Bem1d]l

this city completes the legal array
for the defendant.
The prosecution is to be waged by
Assistant Attorney General AleXan-
der l.. James. and E. E. Mcdonald and

latter having been connected with the
case since the beginning and the Tor

/ in the prosecution because, While
Henry Funkley still was county at

This years fair had to depend for
it's drawing power and for its enter
tainment largely upon the exhibits
and educational features. Luckily
the present management had done ev-
ervthing in it's power to emphasize
this part of the fair and the general
verdict that the fair was success is
a verdict in favor of the further edu-
cational development of the state fair
and the continued emphasis of the
features which instruct as we'll as

Minnesota state fair officials have
sent the following communication to
the Daily Pioneer:
Handicapped by the most unfavor-
able weather conditions ever known
to prevail during Minnesota State
Fair week the 1911 state fair and ex-
position nevertheless scored one OF
the greatest successes in the history
of this or any other similar institu-
ton.
When the lights of the fair went
out at midnight on Sept. 8, there was
a better feeling existing not only
among the hundreds Of exhibitors
who make the state fair, but there
was a feeling that decided advance
had been made.
Brave Rain and Threatened Snow.

During five days of rain and one fair
ly pleasant day the records show that
253,7O2 persons visited the fair
grounds. 1t was stated several times
during the latter part of the week,
and there seems to be little chance
of successful contradiction, that un-
der similar weather conditions no
state fair in the country would nave

During the first five days OF the
week it not only rained, but when it
was not raining the clouds hung low
and a part of the time snow seemed
imminent. By actual computation
there was 1913 minutes of sunshine
during the first five days. In spite OF
this rain and mud and cold, people
came from all over the Northwest to
the Minnesota State Fair grounds and
enjoyed the hundreds of attractive
features.
