Billy Hart, Bemidji Middleweight,
Visits Here-Never Defeated.

Billy Hart, former Bemidji boy,
but now a resident of st. Paul, is at
tracing no little attention in middle
weight pugilistic circles, and he is
considered as being one of the most
promising youngsters of the squared
arena. Hart, who is spending sew
eral days in Bemidji, now tips the
scales at 1853 pounds and he is at his
best when trained down to 1856, at
which weight he is after bouts and
at which he bars no one. Hart has
taken part in five prize fights, win
ming by knockout decisions in four
and gaining a draw in the fifth. He
is a diligent trainer and has worked
out with several of St. Paul's best
boxers, including Mike O'Dowd, Billy
Miske, Tommy Gibbons and Jack Dill
lon. Hart is sturdy looking chap
and is certain to become prominent
in boxingdom.

Official returns of the Koochich-

show the "drys'' to have
won another victory, the ma
jority being % votes. The country
districts are entirely responsible for
the "wets" defeat, as they went
solid in favoring prohibition.
In speaking of the results, the In
ternational Falls Press, paper
which has favored abolishing the
saloons, says:
'''The election was the most lively
and yet, perhaps, the most good
natured fight. that this city and
county has ever had. Both sides
were sure of victory until the last
of the precints were heard from,
when Manager L. w. Wilson, like a
true sportsman, called up the dry
leaders and offered his congratula-
tions, and expressed his readiness to
accept cheerfully the verdict of the
majority and work for a still better
city and county"
Fifty-three counties have voted un-
der the new county option law, only
nine remaining in the "wet" column.
The first official figures on the re-
suits of county option election in
Minnesota we've given out yesterday
by julius A. Schmahl, secretary of
state.
In the fifty-one counties that re-
ported, total of 92,546 votes were
cast in favor of eliminating saloons
for three years and 72,736 electors
showed they preferred the licensed
saloons.
Marshall and Koochiching coun-
ties are the only ones of the fifty
three counties that have not report
ed on figures returned by the can
wasting boards. Unofficial returns
show that Marshall county went dry
by vote of 1,194 to 610.
Nine Counties Go Wet.
Nine counties are voted into the
wet column. They are Blue Earth,
Crow Wing, Goodhue, Jackson, Mar

Educational Institutions of Beltrami
County to Secure Aid Under
=. ay~I
New State Laws. - ,ss!:5 ;ss...s;:$
STEWART SEES IMPROVEMENT

Schools of the rural districts of
Beltrami county are benefited by the
new laws passed at the 1915 session
of the state legislature.
One of the measures provides finan-
cial assistance which is certain to
better the educational facilities of the
county, this being the law which au-
thorizes the state auditor to set aside
from the current school fund $780,
900 each year for the purpose of as
sisting any school which does not
maintain state high or graded
school in maintaining it's public
schools, when a levy of Is mills in
the district does not raise $500, and
to pay the tuition of nonresident pu-
pills enrolled in the Industrial depart
ments of state high, graded or con-
solidated rural schools, properly des-
ignated.
In instances where the levy does
not provide $500 the state board Of
education may expend not to exceed
5000.
1.-THE Importance of the law is
plain" said w. B. Stewart, superin-
tendent of schools, today. 1T will
make possible the securing of better
teachers, and the purchase of better
equipment, which means better
schools. Beltrami county will make
use of the new law, and as result
our educational facilities are to be
greatly improved"
The provision providing for the
payment of tuition is also important
and will be taken advantage of In
many instances.
Another law which means much tC
Beltrami county is that which allows
any district providing buildings fol
consolidated school purposes to be re
imbursed up to one-fourth of the cos
of the building, but not to exceed
$4,000. ..

for maintenance of graded schools
exceeds 20 mills in any year may re

New York, Aug. 5.-Under clear

is beginning to right itself from the
effects Of the great storm which
swept down the Atlantic coast Tues
day night. The loss is admittedly
great but accurate information will
be impossible to obtain for q week.
In Greater New York nine persons
were killed as result of the storm.
Fifty to one hundred lives were
lost and the property damage is es-
timated at $5,500,000. The crop
damage is also estimated at millions
of dollars. Several schooners and
tugs were lost in the storm and. hun
dreds of small boats were smashed or
driven out to sea. The loss on the
Great Lakes has not been estimated.

GOES TO HIGHEST BID DER
Now Practically Known That Bull
garian Government Will Throw
: Weight Into Teutonic Balance.
THINK GERMANY CAN WIN WAR
BY j. w. II. MASON.

:. New York, Aug. 5.-Greek assur-
ances, made known today, of assist
ance promised to Serbia if Bulgaria
tries to sieze Serbian Macedonia, are
the first serious indications that the
Bulgarian government may actively
throw it's weight into the Teutonic
balance. Bulgaria has long been
known to be in the market for the
highest bidder, but the alternatives
have been thought to be war with
the allies, or benevolent neutrality
toward Germany, Austria and Turkey.
If the Teutonic victories in Russia
have caused Bulgaria to believe the
German powers can win the war with
Bulgarian help, the sudden Greek
pledge of fidelity to Serbia would
not probably be sufficient to compel
the Sofia government to keep the
peace.
Have Little Difficulty.
The military revelations of the re-
cent Balkan war indicate Bulgaria
would have little difficulty in con-
quering Greece. Greek interference,
in fact, would probably cause Bull
garia to cease hostilities against Ser
bia and concentrate against Greece
alone, whose Egean coast line offers
more attractive loot than does the
interior area of Serbia. - r. 80.
: While making war against Greece;
Bulgaria could spare large force
to assist the Turks on the Gallipoli
PENINSULA. The uncertain situa-
tion of the Constantinople campaign
might we'll be turned into a probable
Turkish success with Bulgaria's aid.
It seems, therefore, as if the allies
must quickly give more definite as
surances to Bulgaria if Sofas assist
ance is to be won from the Teutonic
cause.
Outcome Less Certain.
Bulgaria has made it as plain as
the secrecy of the negotiations would
allow that she will not fight for Eng
land, France and Russia unless she
is given large part of Serbian Mace
donna, which was wrested from her
during the second Balkan war. Serbia
for long time would not even dis
cuss the transfer. But, as the out
come of the war has become less and
less certain for either side, Serbia has
grown far more tractable.
Serbia is now willing to restore a
part of Macedonia to Bulgaria, on
condition that Serbia herself is re-
compensed with an outlet on the Ad-
Ratio. If the war ends without the
allies being able to compel Austria
to give an Adriatic holding to Serbia,
then Serbia will not surrender any
territory to Bulgaria. The entrente
powers are trying to persuade Ser
bia to make territorial concession un-
conditionally. It does not seem prob
able that any other will secure the
Balkan help which the Allies so
greatly need.

Dardanelles Capture is Considered
Impossible and Allies Thought to

Berlin, Aug. Sit is stated off,

saw has fallen and that the German
troops have entered the city. .
The Russian garrison fell back
over the three Vistula river bridges

of Prince Leopold stormed the last
line of Russian defenses and entered

Continuing it's retreat from Praga,
the Russian center is falling back
along the railway leading to Novo-
minsk and over the plain north Of
the railroad, keeping in contact with

retreating Slavs and have captured
bodies of stragglers -. 4.

Will Talk Peace.
1t is the belief here that Germany's
enemies, despite their. repeated an
nouncements of preparedness to fight
to the bitter end, are in reality firing
of the war and are ready to talk
peace.
The allies have reached the end of
their string, say Germans, and point
out the following as reasons for this
belief: First, that Russia has been
dealt a severe blow that will nullify
her defense for long time; second.
that England and France realize the
inability Of their: armies to push the.
Germans from France and Flanders,
demonstrating this by their non-ac-
-tivity, while the Teutons were con-
7centrated against the Slavs in the
east; third, that it is impossible for
the Anglo-French to force the Dar-
danelles, and fourth, that the Balkan
situation is very satisfactory to Ger
many. =. --...... - -
