RAIN BLOCKS GAME;
$4,000 EACH PLAYER

Philadelphia, Oct. 20.-Rain and
wet grounds for the third successive
day prevented a game in the worlds
baseball series. Although the rain
has stopped falling the grounds are
in such condition that playing today
was out of the question. Players
who will share in the splitting of
the receipts for the world series are
assured of, enjoying the biggest slice
ever handed out In previous years
$500 was a high-water mark, but
when the present series ends indica-
lions point to the individual players
drawing down as much as s., goo
apiece. For the three games already
played the receipts have totaled
s195,91450. OF this the players are
due to receive s105,79s.08, and the
game at Philadelphia tomorrow, the
last in which the players share,
should add at least $25,00O to the
purse. This means close to the So
600 mark for each of the winners and
at least 81 ,000 above the best mark
of previous world series.

down 95 feet he attempted to charge
for lis feet
The price agreed upon was $3.50
a foot, and Williams paid for 95 feet.
Weekley then sued to collect for 20
feet more, and it was in this suit
that it was alleged he committed the
perjury.

porter Lee Labaw. who gave testi-
mony relative to the legal record.

'swife' or mother An earl was an

while GEAR and kaiser" are both
derived from Caesar. y A dandelion
is or once was "dent de leon," mean

Appeal for Native Talent.

A New York hotel man, who has
just returned home after securing
Europe for cooks, complains that they
are a scarce commodity abroad. The
condition is one for which hotel men
themselves are largely to blame Why
don't they encourage native talent in
the cooking line instead of filing
their kitchens with foreigners?

Manchuria:s Silkworms.
The Manchurian silkworm

The Manchurian silkworm is a
valuable variety and produces a
thread which is very thick and
strong. This is largely due to the
severity of the winter, which causes
the silk worms to spin cocoon
enough to Withstand the cold. I'm
like most other si1kWorm, also, the
Manchurian variety feeds upon the
oak trees which are abundant in
that region.

Good Roads Brought In.

Another angle brought out in to-
days mail, in remarkable commu-
nication to the Pioneer from Robert
c. Dunn of Princeton, is an argu-
ment against the Elwell good roads
law and a plea to cease agitation at
this time for trunk roads on the
ground that the proposed one mill
tax amendment would be endangered

discordant voice for the proposed re-
apportionment program, pledges him

Cant Print Them All.

1t is a physical impossibility for
the Pioneer to print all the infor-
nation it has. Letters from mem
bers of the legislature and others and
comments in newspapers are coming
in a stream and for the most part
they demand an extra session by Gov
ernor Eberhart to right the present
injustice to the North.
Also there are some interesting
side lights. Many urge the extra
session not alone for the reapportion-
ment but to adjust railroad legisla-
ton as a result Of the companies
boosting back the cost of travel from
two to three cents a mile and because
of increased freight rates.

Bob Dunn's Letter.

Mr.. Dunn says:
The Bemidji Pioneer: There is
no show of passing an equitable re-
apportionment bill even if the COVER
nor convened the legislature in ex-
traordinary session. l think I know
the temper of the legislature as we'll
as anyone and l give it as my posi-
tive conviction, that with the present
mem bership, a reapportionment bill
that would do justice to Northern
Minnesota and the four cities can
not pass.
Strongly Favors Reapportionment.
There is no one who is more
strongly in favor of reapportionment
than 1 am but I realize the absolute
futility of attempting to get fair
reapportionment at the hands of the
legislature as at present constituted.
l doubt if we can pass such meas
.ure in the House and the Senate
would surely kill it if we did. Those
opposed would claim that after the
seven senator's amendment is adopt
ed they would do justice to Northern
Minnesota We in Northern Mime
sofa must act with the cities Or stand
no chance.

Mahnke Will Fight to Finish.

This one comes from c. F. Mahn-
Ike, editor of the Star Gazette at
Moose Lake:
Dear Brother Wilson: I have
your request to join in crusade to
bring about an extra session of the
legislature this winter to pass a re-
apportionment bill. Bless your soul,
I have been at it ever since the leg
islature adjourned, and I am going
to keep at it."
And Charley Cheney, political
writer of the Minneapolis Journal,
although questioning the possibility
of putting a bill through, says in his
own column:
THE Bemidji Pioneers opinion is
as good as any ones and it does not
over estimate the Importance of re-
apportionment.

Hopes North Can See It.

For the life of me l can't see why
my friends in Northern Minnesota
can not see it in the same light I
do. You know that the Southern
people are suspicious and jealous of
Northern Minnesota and@t that is the
main reason they are opposed to a
fair reapportionment and don't you
think they will take the same view of
the ElweIl Law and vote against the
one mill tax? I don't think it, I
know it. Hence I reiterate, this is
an inopportune time to agitate the
construction of trunk line roads ex-
tending from the large cities. Let
us wait until the one mill tax amend
ment is adopted and enacted into
law Very truly yours,

Crazy Over Elweu Law"

by the way, Wilson, are your peo-
pie all gone crazy over that Elwell
law? For heavens sake, study that
law which includes forty-nine sec
lions of the drainage law and see
what you can make out of it. The
law is unavoidable. No county will
ever issue bonds under the provisions
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1911-10-20

of such a law. Mind you, would
register no kick if every Northern
county was to get the full limit of
the statewide funds permissible un-
der the constitution for ten or TWEEN
ty years. But what I am afraid Of
is that the agitation for trunk line
roads radiating from the large cities
at this time will result in the defeat
of the one mill tax amendment next
fall and then the Elwel Law, even
if operated, would be useless.
As to Trunk Line Roads.
t'There is nothing to be gained by
agitating the trunk line roads at this
time for there will be no money
available to speak Of next year
about 100000 of which no county
could receive more than $4,000.
There is 100000 Of the state Road
and Bridge Fund for next year al
ready appropriated by resolution of
the House and Senate. Then again,
everything that could be accom-
plished for the Elwell Law could be
accomplished under the law I put
through. If the one mill tax amend
ment carried it would produce fund
of say $1,2O0,000, Of which, under
my law. Beltrami county could re-
ceive $4,000 in one year. if the
highway commission so ordered it and
that is all your county could receive
under the Elwell Law
Sees Danger in South.
But the trouble is here: if the
people of Southern and Central Min
nesota get it into their heads that
the Northern counties are to receive
the lions share of the Road and
Bridge Fund for term of years. they
will defeat the one mill amendment,
not only that but the legislature
might refuse to levy any state road
tax whatever. l have always talked
that each and every county should
share equitably in the fund.
''Now I hope you understand my
position clearly. Ny vote, my tongue,
my pen and my sympathies are all
with Northern Minnesota and I am
heart and soul in favor of good roads
but am fearful of the result of the
trunk roads agitation at this time.

This For the Governor.

In any event I do not think
the governor would call an extra
session; he is a little tinid, you
know, and his backbone is not
like a ramrod, but repeat, even
if an extra session is held there
would be no reapportionment.
"Of course if an extra session is
held you will find Bob Dunn fighting
in the front line for justice for
