FIRE IN CASS LAKE

Special to The Pioneer
Cass Lake, Aug. 26.-Fire was
discovered at O'Clock Sunday morn
ing in the boiler room of the North
ern Pine Grating company. It de-

kindled under the boilers and in a
short time sufficient steam was rails
ed to entirely extinguish the fire.
The loss is about $1,000, only partly
covered by insurance. ..-

TEDDY WANTS TO TESTIFY
Colonel Roosevelt Wishes to Be Al
lowed to Appear Before Senate
Committee Today.
TO REFUTE JOHN D. ARCHBOLD

Oyster Bay, Aug. 26.-Colonel
Roosevelt has announced that he
wants to appear today in Wash
ington = before the senate COM
mittee investigating campaign con-
trlbutions TO refute the testimony of
John D. Archbold Saturday concern
ing his knowledge OF an alleged con-
tribution of 100000 by Mr.. Arch
bold to the Republican campaign
fund of 1904.
81 have wired Senator Clapp,
chairman of the committee Colonel
Roosevelt said, chat I should like to
appear before the committee.
At the time Colonel Roosevelt
made his announcement he had not
received a reply from Senator Clapp,
but had arranged to leave Oyster
Bay for Washington in time to ap-
pear before the committee today. The
colonel says he might receive a reply
during the evening.
The coloneIs telegram read:
LAS l am not willing that Mr..
Archbold's statement about myself
should pass without immediate Off
clal contradiction, I request the priv
i1ege of appearing before your COM
m1ttee on Monday. My engagements
are such that it will be the greatest
inconvenience to me and many 9TH
ers if the hearing is deferred to a Ia
ter date.''
Colonel Roosevelt met the CORES
pondents after day spent in rowing
on the bay and picnicking with his
family.
1T is most unheard of thing"
he said in commenting on Mr.. Arch
bold's testimony and his departure
for Europe, that Mr.. Archbold
should depart without testifying
about the $4,000 he gave Senator
Penrose. It is a most peculiar thing
that the committee should allow him
to depart without so testifying.
There are no dead men concerned in
the transaction. He could be sure of
what he was testifying to in that.
II do not want day more than
necessary to elapse without placing
on the record my testimony"

WASHINGTON LETTER
By United Press.

Washington, August 26.-Improp-
er handling of eggs is responsible
for the annual loss of the huge sum
of $45,O00,00O, according to depart
ment of agriculture experts who have
been investigating the egg smashing
business. This enormous loss is due
to small eggs, cracked and broken
eggs, dirty and rotten eggs. The
improper handling is a loss to farm
ers, middlemen and consumers alike,
say the experts, and they urge ev-
erybody to get busy and institute re-
forms which will do away with it..
Here are some of the plans suggest
ed for betterment:
Encourage the production Of large
eggs.
Take steps to insure proper dispo-
sition of infertile eggs. Dirty eggs
will be reduced to minimum if
proper care of nests is taken.
More than ten per cent of eggs re-
ceived in New York during the year
are stale. This is not necessary if
eggs are promptly collected and ex-
peditiously shipped to market.
The American output of precious
gems, though small, is increasing ev-
cry year and the total for 1911 show
ed goodly increase over that of
1910, according to a bulletin just is
sued by the U. S. Geological Survey.
The yield in 1911 showed $2,750
worth of diamonds, $4,000 worth of
emeralds, s215,313 worth of saphires
and SALTS of turquoise.
Promising finds of, emeralds have
been made in North Carolina, some
of the gems running as high as 500
to 5000 carat. The largest emer-
aid found has been about one inch
by three quarters by one-half Most
American diamonds come from Cali
fornia and Arkansas.
Urging the necessity for better
methods of conserving the health of
the 100000 school children in
the United States, the federal Bureau
of Education calls attention, in cir
cular just issued, to the fact that
seventy-five per cent "need attention
today for physical defects which are
prejudicial to health and which are
partially or completely remediable.' -
Pointing out the ailments that the
children suffer, the circular states
that 100000 have organic heart dis
ease, 100000 at least have now or
had tubercular affection of the lungs,
another million have spinal curva-
ture, fiat foot or some other deform-
ity serious enough to interfere with
their health. A million have defec-
tive hearing, five millions have de-
fective vision and an equal number

A Night Horse Show.

The leading society event of the
fair will be the Might Horse Show"
a combination exhibit of horse-fesh,

vile features, to be given the first
four nights of the fair in the Live

A close second to this will be the
staging of "Old Mexico" in front of
the grandstand every evening, por-
traying in one of the most spectacu-
lar fireworks displays on record the
storming and capture of the fortress
Chapultepec by the American troops
in 1S47 under General Winfield
Scott. This was one of the renowned
incidents Of the Mexican war.
The fair will close on Saturday ev-
ening with gorgeous display of
fireworks.

charge.
After careful consideration the
mana gers have decided that the
youngsters are entitled to a day of
fun and instruction without expense.
They chose Monday as the proper
day because it is Labor Day, and
there are no schools in session. The
rule as decided upon provides that
all children under fourteen years of
age when accompanied by their par
ents or guardians will be admitted to
the grounds free. This is an innova-
ton at the Minnesota state fair, as
never before have the gates been OPP
en- to the little tots on a holiday Sew
eral years ago children were admit
ted without charge on Saturday
morning, but this year there will be
no restrictions, and from morning to
| night the youthful men and women
will be given the freedom of the 300
acres of ground.
