WILSON EXPECTS
NO OBSTRUCTION
Believes Envoy To Mexico Will Be

HUERTA GIVEN OPPORTUNITY
May Digest Situation Before Repre-.
sentative Arrives In
Mexico

Washington, Aug. 11.-John Lind,
President Wilson's personal envoy to
Mexico, has arrived off Vera Cruz on
the battleship New Hampshire. He
probably will not be in Mexico City
before another twenty-four hours and
the diplomatic crisis between the
United States and Mexico is not ex-
pected to culminate before that time.
The next development in the situa.
tion is expected when Mr.. Lind.
through Charge O'Shaughnessy, pre-
sents to Provisional President Huerta
President Wilson's proposals to bring
about peace.
These will be published simulta-
neously in Washington and Mexico
City and at the same time will be
transmitted as matter OF informa.
tion to the powers of the world.
Whether Mr.. Lind's presence in
Mexico will be undesirable" as has
been stated by the Mexican minister
OF foreign affairs, then actually will
become known. Administration Off.
Gals here are reluctant to believe that
Will be Huerta's attitude after he Off
clally knows the purposes of Lind 3
visit. They take the view that the at
titude of hostility has been aroused by
unofficial misinterpretation of the
purpose Of the mission.

Though there is no official confirma-
tion it is said the passage OF the New
Hampshire has been a slow one pur-
posely to give the Mexican govern.
ment opportunity to digest the situa
ton.
Before Mr.. Lind arrives Charge
OShaughnessey is expected to explain
to the Mexican foreign office that Mr..
Lind comes only as an advisor to the
embassy on thoroughly peaceful mis-
sion. .-- .....- ....,.. ... -.
The administration maintains It's
confidence that when Huerta under
stands the facts there will be no OBJ
struction to former Governor Lind's
mission and that he will be allowed
to discharge his duties as adviser to
the American embassy without moles-
tation.
That understanding is based upon
the belief that Mr.. Lind scrupulously
will observe the etiquette of diplo-
macy and will not undertake to raise
an issue as to his status by address

ia or the Mexican foreign Office

''U' men INSPECT CROPS.
Astounded with Results A. P. Chan
der Is getting with His Small
Fruit Crops
GRAPES GROW IN ABUNDANCE

Messrs. Dorcy, Delo and Steckman,
OF the university of Minnesota, who
were at Lavinia Monday and looked
over A.. P. Chandler's fruit orchard
were very much pleased with the re-
suits Mr.. Chandler is getting. Mr..
Chandler has an acre and half Of
orchard trees that were planted one
year ago and which are in fine condi-
tion at this time. Between these
trees Mr.. Chandler has currants and
strawberries planted.
This year Mr.. Chandler put in
about 400 plum trees, which are in
excellent condition. Between these
rows of trees he has planted pota-
toes and corn, which on a close esti-
mate will net him about $4,000 per
acre. Mr.. Chandler paid SIS for the
land and about SIS to clear same. In
order to use every inch Of ground to
good advantage he has planted
Moores EARLY grapes along the fence
and the grape vines are climbing the
posts and wires and are loaded with
grapes. The men from the university
were especially surprised to see how
well these grapes were thriving and
bearing fruit. -t*5 -.--.- .'
Mr.. Chandler came here several
years ago from Fargo, North Dakota,
where he has been engaged in the
fruit business and is now thoroughly
convinced that there is no better
spot on earth on which to grow small
fruits successfully than on the shores
of lake Bemidji.

unique and old fashioned automobiles
driven in Bemidji is a ten horse
power. one cylinder car purchased by
Charles Parker at Park Rapids. The
machine is an old style Cadillac with
the engine under the seat and a chain

SOME SPLENDID RECORD CROPS
The Man Who Owns A Farm In This
County Is The Best Advertise

That our farmers are our best ad-
vertiser is fact that is becoming
more evident every day. When real
estate men advertise our lands in
other states they are invaribly asked
what the farmers are doing. The best
proof he can furnish is a statement
from the farmer himself.
In gathering a few hurried facts
the Pioneer was able to secure in five
minutes the following information
for several men who do not wish
their names disclosed at this time.

TO SUPPORT FUSION TICKET
New York Republicans Will Make No
Nominations.


New York, Aug. 11.-Following the
announcement of District Attorney
Charles S. Whitman that he would
accept the fusion nomination for the
Office he now holds it was made clear
that the support of the Republican Or
ganization leaders will be thrown to
the entire fusion ticket, headed by
John P. Mitchell for mayor, in the
coming city election. Samuel S. Koe-
mig, Republican county chairman, bore
formal assurance of this support to
Mr.. Mitchell.
There had been doubts as to the at
titude of the Republican organization
owing to dissatisfaction in some quar-
ters because Mr.. Whitman was not
nominated for mayor.
