Sailor Andrew Koehn, first quar-

Bemidji, arriving last evening.

will launch his $40 pound galvanized
boat in the waters of Lake Itasca and

The boat in which he is to make

himself. 1t is of galvanized steel with
a wooden cockpit covering, ten feet
long and forty-two inches wide amid

Auto Polo" Some Thriller.

The management of the Oklahoma
Ranch Wild West show, which exhi-
bits in Bemidji Friday June 18th at
the fair grounds, announces, as an
especially-added new. feature, one OF
the most sensational acts ever pre-
sented. Auto Polo, the title of this
remarkable act, suggests the charac-
ter of the performance, but does not
give an adequate idea of it's strenu-
BUSINESS or the tense excitement it
creates. In Auto Polo, four racing ma
chimes are utilized-two on each side.
Each machine carries mallet man
and a chauffeur. 1t is the mallet
man who strikes the ball and en-
deavors to get it over the enemy'a
goal, but it is the chauffeur who
drives the auto, and who has the re-
sponsibility of keeping out of the way
Of the other machines.

tainments of the University week will
be given Monday evening when mem

Another feature of the University

JAMES SLY IS PAR0LED
Man Sentenced to State Prison From
Bemidu Given Chance to Leave
on Good Behavior.
SHERIFF GOES THROUGH PRISON

TINS morning from Saltwater where
he had gone with two prisoners SEN
fenced here Thursday by Judge Stan
ton. -,
= The sheriff states that James Sly,
sentenced to the prison about a year
ago, had been successful in his at
tempt to gain parole and that it
took effect yesterday.
Sly will be given job on the Sec
ton; but it is not likely that his work
will bring him to Bemdiji.
: He will be remembered iii Bemidji
because of the fact that he was often
In police court and was always Of
more or less trouble to the police
department. When he was sentenced
did so with every confidence that Sly
did so with every confidence that he
was receiving just punishment.
While at Saltwater the sheriff Wis
tied both the old and new prisons
and says that the latter is as wonder
derful a place as has been reported.
He had a short talk with Doctor
Dumas sentenced from Bemidji a
year ago after having been convicted
Of arson. The doctor is still at the
head of the prison library depart
ment. He also saw other Beltrami

mittee-Baudette May Land
LIKELY TO GET 1914 MEETING
Resolutions to That Effect Passed and
Matter Will Be Settled Here
Next December.

Before adjourning at noon yester-
day until their meeting here next De-
cember the delegates to the Northern
Minnesota Development association
at Hinckly, much had been accom-
plished by the delegates.
The request made by delegates
from Baudete to the effect that the
1914 meeting be held in that place
was favorably reported out of the
committee and resolutions were pass
ed requesting that the place be
named at the December meeting.
Some of the things that the conven-
ton did are as follows:
The state immigration bureau and
chief officers are asked to change it's
present policy to one of cooperation
with the commercial clubs and other
civic bodies throughout the state.
The county commissioners are ask
ed to adopt and publish simplified
rules for the carrying out of i'm
provements under the Elwell good
roads law.
The revolving fund constitutional
amendment is Endorsed and stere-
opticon advertising campaign approx
ed,
Congress is asked, through the
Minnesota representatives, to make
an appropriation for the drainage of
the Chippewa swamp lands.
Northern Minnesota counties are
urged to take advantage of the state
appropriations to procure three more
county agricultural agents.
The legislature is urged to estab-
lish and adopt public domain de-
partment.
A soil survey of the entire state
under the direction of the agriculture
al department of the state university
and the United States Geological sur
vey is recommended.
The establishment of a state devel-
opment association, consisting of
delegates from the Southern Mime
sofa, the Western Central and North
ern Minnesota bodies lis recommend
ed. Officers Of the last named are in
structed to open the necessary nego-
tiations
For two hours they wrangled over
the suggestion Of a second state fair
for Northern Minnesota. C. F.
Mahnke of Moose Lake, introduced a
resolution urging that a fair for the
northern half of the state be held in
Duluth in the latter part of Septem-
Der. He argued that the early date
of the big fair at Hamline was unfair
to agriculturists in the upper end of
the state as their products had not de-
veloped sufficiently then. Delegate
Hostetter of Duluth ably supported
Mr.. Mahnke's contention.
1t was suggested by Chairman Tur-
ritin that big fair could be held by
having the northern sections of Wis
consin and Michigan joining Mime
sofa. This was not acted upon. The
Mahnke resolution was finally defeat
ed by vote of to i.

IS State Closer Together.
FOR BENEFIT OF ALL PEOPLE
DR.. Newkirk Will Give Talk on Art

aI# New Bulletins. ::

Day after. tomorrow University
week will begin in Bemidji. Pro-
grams will be rendered each after,
noon and evening throughout the en-
tire week. All entertainments will
be given in the auditorium of the
high school with the exception Of
those of Tuesday and Friday evenings
which will be staged in the Armory.
It might be well for the public to-
remember that this is an educational
movement inaugurated by President
Vincent, of the state university, a
year ago. Its chief purpose is to
bring the people Of the state and the
educational institution as close to-
gether as possible. g.

DR.. Newkirk is a modest genius
belonging to the mathematics depart
ment of the College Of Engineering.
He is always prying around to find
just little out of the ord
mary or queer. Last year he hit upon
the idea Of a practical demonstration
of the gyroscope. This was quite Z
rovelty to most people, and they en-
joyed It,; 80 DR.. Newkirk has repairo&
his apparatus and will be ready to re-
peat the gyroscope "stunt" in the new
towns this year. -"
When he returns to any of the same
towns visited last year, he will carry
a moving picture apparatus and give
q lecture on the "Art of Flying" Nov
ing pictures are becoming so COM
mon that people who don't know Dr..
Newkirk will probably expect his per-
foiman,e to be stupid, but he viii
happily disappoint them. There is q
lot to be learned even about things
that the average man things he UNI
derstands pretty we'll. .-.
The Business Men will be adj
dressed at their luncheon by DR.. Ray
c,ond v. Phelan, whose speciality is
Social Economics. He is prepared to
discuss the labor problem under the
title of the Industrial Struggle, or to-
present another aspect of it as Bust
ness and Health. DR.. Phelan is 1
capable speaker. "a
The "week" is in no
sense intended for the bene-
it of any committee, organi1a-
ton or class. It comes to a city to
get in touch with all classes of peo-
pie. Remember that the afternoon
sessions are free to everybody wheth-
: they hold season ticket or not, and
the afternoon meetings really repre-
sent the educational feature Of the
course. The evening entertainments
nave been made so reasonable in price

old position the top of the tree had
caught under the heavy branch of an
other tree a hundred feet distant
This held the inclined tree as in a
wise, but at a Juggling tension.
In the hole formed where the roots
had given away the men Pete had de-
scribed were hiding awaiting the
coming of the stage coach.
Ruth crept cautiously around to
the spot where the top of the tree
was caught. Her experienced eye told
her that this, once released, would
shoot back to its original position
with catapult force. She had a, long,
sharp knife in her belt. She climbed
the smaller three and endeavored to
cut through the limb that held the
larger tree captive. For nearly an
hour she-hacked and clipped. Sud-
denly in the distance she heard the
echoing boots of the stage coach
horn saluting some lonely mountain
cabin. She could see the men in the
tree hole. getting ready to rush out
when their anticipated victims came
within sight.

ed Ruth ardently, in breathless ex-
element, and renewed her endeavers
with redoubled ardor with blstered
bleeding hands.

great; tree at lost tore free, from it's

and frantic yells of pain as the roots
sank back into place, shutting the
baffied plotters into sure prison.
Again the winding horn. Ruth
ran out into the road. She stood in
its center, statuesque and heroic
figure in the white moonlight. The
stage coach came to stop. Her
lover sprang out, and Ruth was en-
closed in his loving arms.

"a warning?" repeated Ruth
vaguely.

"Why-yes," replied Ruth slowly.
well, overheard two half-breeds
down on the Taylor place talking
early this morning, planning to join
two other hard characters, hide be-
tween here and the railroad, and hold
up the stage coach. They know some
strangers are coming, and you see
strangers are taken as free picking in
this district"
In a moment Ruth became alarm
ed. Within quarter of an hour she
and Pete had arranged to outwit the
bandits. His plan was to take the one
horse left on the place and start down
the trail to meet and warn the COM
ing stage coach. He had been gone
two hours when the horse he had
gone away with came back riderless.
:. Instantly Ruth was on her mettle.
She could only theorize that the ami
NAL had thrown Pete, or that he had
met the bandits. She quickly buckled
a belt about her slender waist, sprang
to the saddle, and was soon on the
trail, feeling that time was very pre-
cious and haste urgent. 'L
Dusk had come on, but there was
clear, full moon. Ruth had gone
about twenty miles, when at the bend

some heavy timbers ahead, had at

or enterprises Of larger magnitude. Men
who have railroads to build, industries
to consolidate and expand, great mines to
develop and other gigantic projects to
money and they have to come to New
York because It IL the only place IN the
United States they can get II in quantity.
Having thus developed into the biggest
money and security market in the west
ern hemisphere. neither Congress, the
legislature at Albany nor any other COM
bination of politicians can do anything to
seriously embarrass the usefulness OF
the machinery built for the accomnnoda-
ton OF the whole nation. This machinery
represents in q sense the guardianship Of
the interests Of every man, woman and
child who has investments in the going
business OF the republic. The magnitude
OF these interests will be appreciated
when the politicians undertake to go too
far. A sense OF security Is found deep
down and cannot be seriously unnerved
by the surface clamorings at national or
state capitals.
There has been increased activity in
the stock market during the last ten
days and broadening out of the buying
impulse Not that any break-neck rush
has been observed to deluge the broker
age offices with buying orders. but people
with the cash are coming forward slowly
and cautiously with their check books In
hand. and with a determination TO do
SOmetnlnS once more. Inc bargain cOuu-
ter Is still laden down with substantial
railroad and industrial shares upon
which an income return is paid at 51z to
8 per cent on the investment. The dis
play Is very attractive and the bargain
hunters are awake to the opportunity.
This is no mere idle figure OF speech.
The real facts are that confidence Is re-
turning and that people are seeking the
stock market with funds they have kept
idle pending a readjustment of disturbed
conditions. There has already been quite
is yisibly changing for the better. This
statement may be questioned, but the
truth Is we are getting over a scare for
which there never was legitimate ex-
cuse.
