UNCLE SAM'S OFFICIALS
STUDY CIRCUS METHODS

Beneath the pomp and glitter and
amidst the odor of sawdust and
naptha is a system of government and
whose scope and scale
are stupendous and staggering. No
human institution is more perfect in
operation than the circus. Surely no
more f1attering tribute could be paid
the Carl Hagenbeck-W Wallace circus
than that officially given by the
United States government. Officers
from the army department, veterans
in their profession, carefully observed
the rapid sequence of proceedings
when the big show was in Washing
ton. The Carl Hagenbeck-Wallace
circus is the most wonderful tented
organization in the world. In reality
there are two separate shows, Carl
Hagenbeck's collection of wild ami:
mails and the Great Wallace circus.
Several years ago the two shows
were combined, yet one ticket admits
to everything. The Carl Hagenbeck-
Wallace circus will come to Bemidji il
on Friday, August 13, for perform
ances at 2 and 8 p. m.

KO0CHICHING "DRY"
MAJORITY IS THIRTEEN

Official returns from the two re-
precincts in the Koochich-
ing county option battle are in and
the county goes dry by an official
count of 13 votes. The returns from
Steffes and Norden precincts were op-
ened at the county auditors Office
shortly after noon yesterday and it
was found that Steffes had given the
drys a unanimous verdict of II to o.,
and that Norden had also gone dry to
the tune of IA to 2. These figures
are very little off the unofficial fig
ures received last week and placed
the ''wets'' in the rear by 13 votes.
It is probable that the "Wets" will
demand a recount and contests may
arise later on.

.HlBBING READY TO CLOSE
Ffty-four Saloons Of 'sRiehest VII
lage" in World Expect 'Lid" Order
Federal Officers Investigate.
BRANDT REFUSES TO COMMENT

1t now appears certain that the
f1fty-four saloons of Tdibbing, the
richest village" in the world, will
be made to close in compliance with
the terms of the Indian treaty Of
1855.
1t is learned that Henry A. Larson,
chief special officer of the Indian de-
partment at Washington, and J. p:
Brandt, special officer, recently Wis
tied the Hibbing village recorders
office and checked over the number OF
saloons and the amount of license re-
quired by the village.
Officer Brandt, who has his head
quarters in Bemidji, was in the city
today but refused to comment on
probable action at Hibbing, saying
only that he understood the village
was in the treaty "zone' and that he
knew nothing of the departments g
plans relative to "lid'' order.
F.. Saloons Ready to Close.
Saloon men are ready to close up
on short notice if the government di-
rects. They buy in small quantities
so that rush order to make the vii
lage "dry" will cause no great diff
ficulty in disposing Of unsold stock.
Some maintain that no such order
ever will be given. It is pointed out
that there are no Indian settlements
near Hibbing, and that the primary
purpose Of the treaty was to prevent
the sale of intoxicants to redskins.
Refuses to Sell Land.
The line which divides "wet" and
"dry' territory under the treaty pro-
visions, runs through the farm of
Judge Martin Hughes Of the Eleventh
Judicial district. His farm is eight
miles from Hibbing. Recently a party
of friends called to see the judge. He
pointed out the dividing line and one
of the visitors asked him what he
would sell small corner of his prop
erty facing the public road which he
indicated. Catching the drift of the
question, the jurist quickly replied,
with a smile: II wouldn't want to
make price on that site right at this
time-its value might increase con-
siderably in the next few weeks.''

NATIONAL BANKS LOSE
UNITED STATES DEPOSITS

Washington, Aug. 10.-The with
drawal today by the treasury depart
ment of $3,097,500 from it's deposits
in national banks throughout the
country foreshadows the withdrawal
gradually of all Federal deposits in
national banks, except working bal
ances for various government ac-
counts. Previously, five. millions
had been withdrawn this summer.
The Withdrawals are part of the plan
of the treasury department to en-
courage the Federal Reserve system.
Over forty millions more are on de-
posit in national banks. The banks
have been paying two percent inter-
est on the government deposits, and
this will be lost to the treasury de-
partment. -,

whose loss to the community will be

Wis.,, where it will be buried beside
that of the widows father. Mrs. M.

PLAY HANDICAP MATCHES
Committee of Bemidji Tennis Club
Announces Plans for Doubles Tour
nament-Name Teams Tomorrow
GAME AVERAGE TO BE KEPT

Arrangements have practically
been completed for the doubles han
dicap tournament which is to be con-
Quoted by the Bemidji Tennis club,
the matches to be played on a per-
centage basis, instead of the elimina-
tion plan generally followed. 1t will
take real mathematicans to figure
correctly the handicaps arranged.
The members of the club will be
drawn in pairs and the teams divided
into four classes. Glass A will start
at scratch and give to all other teams
a handicap. Glass B will receive a
15-point handicap, Class c 30-point
handicap and Class D a 40-point
handicap. In playing Class B team,
Glass A will start the game minus
Is points, which means they must
make that many points before count
ing. When playing Glass G team,
they start with a minus Is points
and give Is points. Thus the Glass
team will have but forty points to
make in the game. In playing a
Glass D team the scratch team starts
with a minus 80 points and allows
the Class D team IS points on the
game. Thus it will be necessary for
the latter to make 40 points to win
the game:
Instead of eliminating the losing
teams the scores will be kept and the
games played, won and lost will be
recorded similar to those Of baseball
games Each team is to play every
other team three sets, the season
closing at a fixed date and the per-
centages figured.
The committee in charge Of the
tournament games will announce to-
morrow the names of the various
teams and other details necessary to
start the ball rolling. Watch the
bulletin board at the tennis grounds
as to the standings of the teams.
There will be no fixed dates as to
when one team shall play another.
They will be permitted to play their
three sets at one time or on separate
days.
