MANY ATHLETES OUT
Track Meet Paraphernalia Here and
Is Drawing Large Crowd of
81 Candidates.
MORE MEN NEEDED FOR EVENTS

When a track team was proposed
for the members of the Bemidji Ath-
letic club at one of the first meetings
those agitating, the meet planned on
about ten men to participate in the
events. The number of candidates
that appear each evening at the fair
grounds exceeds ten, two times over,
and the spirit shown proves that the
first meet will be one of the most sue
cessful to be held by the club. Vault
ing standards and other parapherna-
liza have, arrived and the candidates
are trying their skill at every event.
When practicing the high jump
Wednesday night Ralph Brandon
jumped over five feet on his first trial
and promises to raise his present rec
ord by several inches. Other records
have already been made and if the
athletes continue to improve on their
present scores it is probable that they
will break several college records.
Various forms of exercise are be-
ing used to get them into trim for
the strenuous events A foot ball is
on the field every evening and is
snapped back and forward with a
great deal of skill Many spectators
gather at the grounds each evening
to watch the boys and many have ex-
pressed admiration for the skill dis
played.
More runners are needed to COM
pete for the races and the club ap-
pears to be boosting the meet strong
ly and are always canvassing fo1
more candidates to compete to make
| it much harder for the best athlete to
win the silver cup trophy offered by
Schneider Brothers company. The
cup is worth, great deal of effort
and is beautiful ornament. After
the meet the winners name will be
engraved upon the bowl.

FRENCH BACK FROM WEST

HAS VISITED IN MANY STATES

81 have travelled through nearly

Northern Minnesota" was a state
ment made to George T. Baker by Ed
French of Blackjack recently. Mr..
French has returned from trip
throughout the west and south where
he has spent the past few months on
pleasure trip. He reports crops
throughout the country in fairly good
condition, but when compared to the
products raised in Northern Mime
sofa they appear to be little more
than food for stock.
Mr.. French is not the only Minne-
sotan who has made trips to other
sections of the country which are ad-
vertised extensively and who has re-
turned home to appreciate the wealth
of the community in which he re-
sides. To visit the preparation rooms
where the farmers from Beltrami
County alone are bringing in samples
Of their grains and other products
will convince you that to try to find

MAY RETURN TO

. T' n. = as
Envoy Lind Authorized to Reopen
Negotiations Wilson More

MAY LEAD TO MORE DISCUSSION
Change in Front by Huerta Might
Result in an Amicable
4. - Agreement. T.. 55

Washington, Aug. 29.-John Lind
has been instructed to return from
Vera Cruz to Mexico City if in his
discretion it seemed advisable, after
President Wilson had received a mes
sage from him described as very
optimistic" While administration of.
f1cials were silent as to the next move
the general understanding is that a
way appeared to be open to the fur.
Their discussion of disputed points,
such as the elimination of Huerta. &
After an early conference with Sec.
rotary Bryan and Senator Bacon OF
the senate foreign relations commit.
tee President Wilson let it be known
he believed the situation in Mexico
was encouraging. The president
thinks things are changing in Mexico
City and that something tangible soon
will be known.
g There was no evidence here that the
Huerta government had agreed to the
American plan, but the disposition OF
the Mexican administration to with
draw some of its proposals has en-
couraged the belief in international
circles that the presidents message
is having good effect in Mexico. :
Should Mr.. Lind deem it advisable
to return to Mexico City to. continue
In person the negotiations he is con.
Quoting by telegraph from Vera Cruz
he has authority from Washington to
do So 1t is considered quite probable
that he will 60.
Will Not Yield the Point.
Senior Gamboa's note of Aug. rs had
not been received officially here, but
upon a summary transmitted to Score.
tary Bryan by John Lind administra.
ton officials declared the United
States would not yield on its demand
that Victoriano Huerta should not be
a candidate for president Of Mexico. =.
Some optimism was cleaned by Of
fcials here from the withdrawal OF
the request that the United States
and Mexico Immediately exchange am.
bassadors. Senior Gamboa merely
asks now that the embassies be main.
tanned with their present stats, but
that they should recognize the ad in.
term government of Mexico as con.
stitutional. There was said to be lit.
tie likelihood of the acceptance of this
proposal in view of the objections
raised to the constitutional status OF
the present regime.
Senior Gamboa calls attention to q
clause in the Mexican constitution
which prohibits provisional presi.
dent from succeeding himself and
charges that the United States was
oversuspicious in thinking that HUI.
erta would enter the race. Admins.
tration officials here, in answer to the
point, declared that to apply that
clause of the constitution to Huerta
was in fact a recognition as the con.
additionally chosen provisional presl
dent of Mexico, circumstance they
consider contradicted by irregularities
at the time Huerta assumed ONCE.
