June a Dry Month.

According to precipitation records
at the Warfield plant, June, 1912,
was the dryest June in Bemidji in
twenty-five years. The precipita-
ton for last month was IA of an inch
while the average for the past twen-
ty-fve years was over three inches.
The rain which fell Monday in Be-
midi went to sos of an inch, more
than the entire month of June. At
the Warfeld dam, the rain was light
South of Solway, a cloud burst was
reported and one farmer stated that
wash tub in the center of the yard
was half filled with water from the
one rain.
The level Of Lake Bemidji is just
normal for this season of the year
but it is not thought that the Mon
day rain will raise the lake as the
ground is absorbing all of the mois-
ture. The lake has lowered but six
inches since the high water mark of
the spring.

CHILDREN NEED HOMES
Minneapolis Outing Association Ap-
peals to North Country to Assist
ance in Hot Weather.
RAILROADS HELPING THE WORK

Fifty Minneapolis children, sons
and daughters of parents too poor to
personally send them to the country
during the hot weather, are awaiting
the report of Mrs. c. w. Bates. 1872
West 32nd street, Minneapolis, who
is touring the north country looking
for summer homes for them. Mrs.
Gates was in Bemidji yesterday after
noon interesting local people in the
work.
While in the Pioneer Office, Mrs.
Gates said: ''This work has been go
ing on for twenty-one years under
the supervision of Mrs. Eleanor How
land, of Minneapolis. The Mime
apolis Outing association is the Or
ganization behind the movement, and
every summer we place as many chill
dren in the country as we can find
homes for. Our children range from
three to fourteen years of age. The
older ones are a material help and Of
ten more than pay for the cost of
keeping them. -
"Just now we have two Bohemians
and three darkies who need to get
out of the city during the hot wealth
err and am trying to locate homes
for them. We also have two moth
ers who will go to the hospital as
soon. as someone in the country will
care for their children for the sum-
mer. We have one eight year old
boy whose mother will go to Dakota
as soon as the boy finds home.
''The railroads have been very good
in assisting us. They provide free
transportation for the children to
and from Minneapolis and also for
the workers who accompany them to
their homes. Last year, the society
placed 1,247 children in country
homes during the summer and seven
ty-eight will not return to the city.
We place the children for terms of
two weeks or all summer. The asso-
citation is quite anxious to secure
home for the fifty on hand now"
A letter addressed to Mrs. Gates
will find it's way into proper hands if
anyone in Bemidji or vicinity is will
ling to take child for two weeks or
longer.

Drops Off Slightly on Forty-First
Roll Call When the Speaker Nets
a Slight Gain.
TALK OF AUGUST CONVENTION.
Progressives Want New Set of Dele
gates to Be Elected Some Time
in July.

Baltimore, July 1.-Two import
ant developments marked the session
of the Democratic convention Mon
day afternoon. On the twenty-ninth
ballot, Governor Marshall of Indiana,
dropped from the ballots his hereto
fore solid thirty, being split twenty
nine for Wilson and one for Kern. On
the thirtieth ballot, Wilson went
ahead Of Clark. and assumed the lead.
On the succeeding ballots. Will
sons lead steadily climbed until it
reached 5O11a on the fortieth ballot.
On the forty=trst, Wilson dropped to
400 IL and Clark showed a rally of
two votes. Governor Foss of Massa-
chusetts, entered the race on thea
twenty-ninth ballot and has been
steadily polling twenty-eight votes.
After the thirty-fourth ballot the con-
vention adjourned until p. m. Mon
oay n1ght' <x,u.S & ~"
During the thirty-fourth ballot,
Mr.. Bryan was the center of a COM
motion that resulted in dozen fist
fights and an order from the chair
man that police would arrest any
one trying to carry a standard around
the hall. =.
A Missouri banner, bearing a trf-
butte to Clark pronounced by Bryan
in 1910, was waved by a Missouri
delegate directly in .Bryans face.
The Nebraskan Indignantly resented
the move and tried to force his way
to the platform surrounding by a
dozen shouting delegates. Fist fights
broke out between his followers and
those carrying the banner. Once on
the platform, Bryan was overruled
and not allowed to speak.
Chairman James announced Mon
day that tickets for southern dele
gates had been extended to July 10.
His announcement caused much
laughter. The band was not pres
ent Monday, it's contract having ex-
pired, and the stand was occupied by
a bevy of Baltimore beauties.
Bryan was behind a movement of
progressives Monday to have the con-
vention adjourn sine die if no NOM
ination is reached within two days
and to have a second convention
some time in August. It is suggested
that new set of delegates be elect
ed at primaries to be held in July.
The opinion holds generally that this
will be the last convention which
will act under the unit and two
thirds rules. Had it not been for
these rules, the nomination would
have been settled early in the con-
vention.

CITY TO BUILD
TWO BATH HOUSES
Will Be Located on Diamond Point
and Are to Be Used as Dressing
Rooms Only.

Ordinance Introduced Calling For
Vote of People for Bonds to Fund
Nymore Road Paving.
HOSE WAGON IS PURCHASED
Bid OF w. S. Mott Company Of $3.50
Accepted-Tom Swenson Ap-
pointed Inspector.

Driving in the opening wedge for
municipal bath houses, the council
last night authorized the city engi-
neer to construct two small houses,
each by Is, which are to be used as
dressing rooms on Diamond Point.
The houses are to be set on the north
shore, one to be used as dressing
room for women and one for men.
No suits will be rented.
During the bathing season, Dia-
mond Point is one of the most popu-
lar beaches on the lake. Heretofore,
the only dressing rooms on the point
have been natures bushes with may
be quilt or two hung from the trees.
The council also went on record as
favoring police protection for the
bathing beach and a patrolman will
be put on that watch.
After some discussion on the N.Y.
more road proposition, the council
passed a resolution that the city pave
Bemidji aveune from Third street to
the river and thence eastward to the
city line, the pavement to be on con-
crete according to the specifications
OF the city engineer. In order to pro-
vide funds for the paving and also
take up warrants Of the poor fund, an
ordinance was introduced calling for
special election to be held July %
for the purpose of allowing the voters
to pass on the matter.
It is proposed to bond the city for
$4,000 on the permanent improve
ment fund for the Nymore road and
to bond the poor fund for $4,000 to
be used to take up outstanding war
rants and put the fund on cash bas-
is. The bonds are to be of $1,000 de-
nomination each and are to run for
twenty years at five per cent. They
are to be bought up by the revolving
fund so that the city will not be pay
Ing interest to other parties.
After listening to representatives
OF the w. S. Mott and Plant Rubber
companies, of Minneapolis, the coun-
Gil decided to accept the bid of the
W. S. Mott company for one hose wa
gon to be laid down in Bemidji at
cost OF $3.50. Although the bid of
the Plant company was $61O, the
Mott salesman apparently convinced
the councilmen that his wagon was
better built to stand the wear and
tear and he was given the contract.
One other bid of $675 was opened but
not considered. The wagon is to be
delivered in forty days.
Bonds of John Goodman and Nels
Loitved for $1,500 for city paving
were accepted and the paving of the
four city blocks recently authorized
will be started at once. Tom Sven
son was appointed inspector of paw
ing at salary of So per day. Re-
newals of liquor licenses were grant
ed to Naish McKinnon and Frank
Lane.
The new Great Northern depot will
be so located that Minnesota avenue
can be Strengthened and the matter
having been brought up, favorable
action was taken.

on the Nymore road bond issue may
be held July 20, the council will hold
