! RAIN AIDS NEW DITCH
Ralph Tells of Work Being Done in
North Country.

State Drainage Engineer George
A. Ralph has returned from a trip
of inspection through Marshall, Red
Lake and Roseau counties where he
looked after work on State bitches
81, 50, 70, SO, "a, IS, 80 and 81.
These bitches were started last year,
but the progress was slow, much of
the work having to be abandoned
because of lack of water to float the
dredges. The abundant rains make
conditions ideal for work this sum-
mer, and the seventeen dredges on
state bitches and three on judicial
bitches are working twenty-five
hours per day. Four more dredges
will be put to work on No. 81, the
longest ditch in the lot, 1875 miles,
in order to rush the work. The
bitches total 500 miles and 400
miles of raodways are to be con-
structed along side them using the
waste dirt.
Engineer Ralph states that IS per
cent of the work will be finished this
fall at the present progress, and
water is insured for the entire seas
on.
Only one ditch will be let this
year, but it is the largest. of all in
yardage, 100000 yards, s5 miles
long with IS miles of roadways and
will cost complete, roads and all, from
$4,000 to 100000. This work
will be let in July. =
Mr. Ralph says that some of the
people up in the country drained
who were luke warm during last year
regarding drainage, because there
was no water, are now most enthus-
iastic for it. He had hard four
days among the bitches, having to
wade through water for a mile to
reach some of the dredges.

Rains Also Aid Loggers.

Not only have the rains of the past
month aided the farmer, but have
enabled the loggers to get their
winters output out of the creeks and
streams into the rivers and lakes,
and in speaking of the conditions of
the streams now, J. A. Irvine of the
J. A. Irvine company of Saltwater,
who has logged for many gears in
this country said:
SIN all the years l have logged in
this country, the conditions as they
now exist have never been equalled,
and although for a time this spring
the loggers were placed in ia tight
place because of the low water, they
now have their logs in fairly good
shape. l expect that I will have
completed my work in the driving
of the work done during the past
winter within the next two weeks. -

Brainerd, Mimi, June 14.-(Daily
Pioneer Special Wire Service.
noon today, the special grand Jury,
which convened yesterday at 2
O'Clock, returned an Indictment
against Erick Maika, charging him
with the murder of nine year old
Earl Reilly.
Maika is charged with having
beaten and choked the lad to death
while in a fit of anger. He charged
the boy with having taken his Jack
knife which later was found where
Maika had left it.
Special Grand Jury Appointed.
The brutality of the crime shock
ed Brainerd and indignation became
so great that Judge B. F. Wright ap-
pointed a special grand jury for the
sole purpose of reviewing the evil
dence in the case. When Judge
Wright's mother died, Judge G. w.
Stanton came to Brainerd to con-
ttuue court and yesterday afternoon
at 2 o'clock instructed the grand
jury which was composed Of repre-
sentative Brainerd citizens.
Twelve witnesses gave testimony
before the grand jury and, as many
of them spoke Finnish, an interpret
ter had to be employed which caused
the investigation to drag out until
noon today when the Indictment,
charging murder in the first degree,
was returned.
Lawyer Quits the Case.
Coincident with the returning of
the Indictment was the announce
ment that Attorney G.. S. Swanson,
employed by Maika, had withdrawn
from the case. Judge Stanton will
appoint an attorney for Maika and
it is expected that the case will be
tried at the present term of court.
The prisoner, who is held in the
Crow Wing county Jail without bail,
received the news of the Indictment
in the same sullen silence that has
characterized his confinement for the
most part since his arrest last week.
Tries the Insanity Dodge.
1t is thought by some that Maika
viii try the insanity dodge. Yester-
day morning, he grew unruly in his
cell and smashed large window
with his fist. When Jail attendants
came running to the cell, Maika ges-
ticulated wildly and talked loud and
fast in Finnish, no noe present being
able to understand him. He was
finally quieted and showed small
concern over what may be done with
him.

Rainfall Has Been Just Right to
Bring Alfalfa Waist High and
Start Grains.
L0GGERS ALSO MADE HAPPY
Threatened Dry Spell Changes Until
Conditions for Saw Mills Are
Now Ideal.

Wheat, oats, corn and alfalfa,
planted more abundantly in this dis
trict than ever before, have never
been more nearly perfect at this
time of the year.
Farmers say that rain has fallen
when wanted in sufficient quantities,
being neither too much nor too
little. A fair crop already is
assured and with continued
favorable conditions for anoth er
four weeks, Beltrami and adjoining
counties will produce bumper crop,
and on a greatly increased acreage
over last year.
Charles Carter of Hines was in Be-
midi yesterday and in telling of the
crop situation there said:
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1911-06-14
Corn Fine; Wheat, too.

"Corn never looked better, and the
wheat and oats are four and five
inches high, with the prospects that
the crops will be better than ever
before. We have alfalfa more than
two feet high, and it is of the choic-
est quality"
Grasshoppers and cut worms which
are doing such damage in other
parts of the country, are scarce In
this vicinity and have caused no
damage, and precautions are being
taken to prevent ravages from the
pest.
Beats the Best, Says Schroeder.
w. G. Schroeder, the Bemidji
merchant who has established a
modern dairy farm four miles west
of Bemidji, where he has 10 acres
under cultivation, says:
81 have been in this country good
many years and never, in my opin-
ion, have the crops had such splen-
did start. The alfalfa on my farm
reaches nearly to my hips, and never
have l seen a more vigorous looking
stand.
''The potatoes are several inches
high, and the wheat and corn could
not possibly look better. There has
been just the right amount of rain,
and the rumors that crops have been
washed out are untrue"

quoted by local leaders in the insur-
ance field as strongly urging. in their
official capacity, that Southern insur-

The growth and solidly OF South

make it no longer a necessity even
for conservative Southerners to take
out their policies with the Northern

at home, the South is made more in

The time has passed when South

king that his destroying siren would
hardly receive credit for having done
anything worth while.
And, to tell the truth, Manuel was
very little king even at his best. To
one who knew him as intimately as
Mile. Deslys he probably seemed
even smaller than he appeared to the
average newspaper reader. Compared
even with medium king like the late
Leopold Of Belgium, he paled into in
significance.
But the people over here are not so
carping and critical as to hold that
against her. She took the only king
that was probably in sight at the time,
and If he didn't happen to be one
whose conduct amounted to very much
internationally, that was the lady's
misfortune and not her fault. She did
her best with the material at hand. OF
course her reception would naturally
be little warmer and her receipts a
little larger if she had managed to
bring down larger game from the Eu-
ropean ropal preserves. Had she done
that, it might not have been necessary
for her to go TO the trouble even of
dancing in order to make the show a
success. But that is another story.

New York.-John Hampton, pros
porous auto dealer, recently returned
from South Africa, bringing a large
ape, which he christened Daredevil
Spike" He and Spike found accom-
modations at Ike Hrschorn's hotel
here, and one day Hampton let Spike
"set 'em up for everyone in the ho.

drink, and gave him the desire for it
Nobody minded much, however, until
the monkey drifted downstairs from
its masters room shortly before dawn
and gave good imitation of Pitts
burgh millionaire on a spree.
One morning recently before the bar
room was opened for the day the ape
appeared to have thirst of the sort
which only seasoned drinkers are sup
posed to possess. Spike sneaked out
of Hampton's room, slid down the ban
lister and deftly entered the bar room
through an open transom. When Carl
Hassentleck, Hirschorn's lunch-counter
man, appeared on the scene shortly
after 500 a. m. he found Spike in the
state of exhilaration peculiar to some
college students after winning foot
ball game.
Spike greeted Hassenfieck with
shrill cry of welcome, followed by a
heavy tumbler, which missed the
mans right ear only because Hassen-
fleck had learned to dodge in his
youth. Jimmy Samponi, porter,
went to the lunch mans rescue
with the result that the two men
passed an unenviable time hiding be-
hind the lunch counter in a storm of
falling stems. bottles, plates, knives,
forks, and other objects. Several pf

mass, unable either to advance or
retreat.

she gathered up her skirts, gave
quick spring and landed astride the
banister. There was flash Of stock

she was on the floor below, fighting
her way toward the counter. One after
another the bolder ones followed un-
til the banister was full of sliding
women. One after another they land
ed at the bottom in shrieking heaps
and would plunge into the struggling
mass in front of the counter. At the
handbag counter the usual bargain
tactics were resorted to. A woman
would seize four or five bags and hold
them all until she had made a choice.
Many women were accompanied by
their husbands, and it was their part
to hold out" desirable looking articles
until the wife decided which was the
most desirable. the rest would be
dumped back on the counter.
