The Bemidji daily pioneer., 1915-12-09

a consuming city Of 1000 people,
which it is predicted will reach 25,-
900 by 1926, and that have three
trunk railway lines running through,
them. Duluth and Superior, with q
non producing population Of 100000
are only $50 miles to the east. Min.
neapolis and st. Paul with q nom
producing population Of $50, 900 are
only 230 miles to the south. Win
nipeg with a population Of 100000 is
only 270 miles to the northwest. To
this must be added the demands Of
a large mining population along the
iron range only 100 miles east. These
people spend for milk, cream and
butter alone $4,000,000 a year. There
is creamery, an ice cream plant,
box factory, lath mill and an onion
growers association which handles
all kinds of vegetables, ready to pay
cash for produce right in Bemidji.
Is Healthful Climate.
Vital statistics that a more health
full and invigorating climate than
that Of Northern Minnesota cannot
be found anywhere. The writer Of
this article formerly lived in Southern
Wisconsin. When I came up here
I expected to find the winters very
severe on live stock and on the peo-
pie. have been agreeably surpris-
ed to find that neither, owing to
the high altitude here and the re-
sulting dryness Of the air. There
are only few days when the there
stands any lower than it
does in Southern Minnesota or Wis
consin. It is very noticeable during
winter days when it is very mild that
there Is rarely ever any slush under
foot. The annual rainfall is exact
~ suited in amount to the character
and quality Of the soils. The aver
age precipitation is about 80 inches,
Of which 73 per cent falls during the
growing season.
Natural Dairyin1 Region.
AS has been briefly referred to,
this country is a natural region for
dairying and diversified farming.
Consider county where there is an
supply of pure spark
ling water on every hand; where
clover, alfalfa, red top, timothy and
blue grass grow in abundance; where
the cut-over lands are a tangle of
wild peas and vetch, where corn and
all the farm grains can be matured
and where succulent roots and vege-
tables are produced in enormous ton
mage. Add to this a temperate win
ter climate, a grazing season as long
as that of Iowa, long summer days,
sunny skies, shade and shelter and all
you need to make this region the
leading dairying region of the north
west is more farmers and good COWS.
Small fruits and plums have been
grown here for years and are in
|creasing rapidly in acreage. Bemidji
has one two thousand poultry plant
and host of enthusiastic poultry
raisers. Eggs and poultry for meat
purposes are not being produced SO
far in great enough quantities to
supply the local demand. Bees have
made one farmer comfortably well
off here and there is great opportu.
nifty along this line. Wild flowers,
Eastwood and honey producing clov-
ers are found in abundance.
Take Pride in Schools.
The citizens of Bemidji and the
county take a great pride in their

Baltimore Clergymen
Indorse Billy Sunday

BALTIMORE. Feb. 6.-Of the 175 Bal
timore clergymen who went to Phila-
delphia on Thursday to hear Billy Sun
day. practically every one returned to-
day converted to Sundays style of
evangelism.
Baltimore's delegation. divided in
opinion as to the theology or the evan
Relist, seemed at the close of the even
ing to be unanimous In the conviction
that Sunday is sincere through and
through; that he has been preaching
what he believes: that he has been de-
livering his message according to his
best lights, and that he has accom-
plished great good, And the 60
that he has accomplished elsewhere
the delegation seems unanimous In be-
ieving that he can accomplish In Balti-
more
The critical view Of some OF the Epis-
copalians was somewhat softened after
they had attended a meeting In the late
afternoon. where George Wharton Pep
per. a prominent lawyer of Philadel-
phia. told them how he had come to
believe in Sunday.
Mr. Pepper expresses my views,
said the Rev. DR. Hugh Birckhead. rec
tor of Emmanuel Protestant Episcopal
church, Baltimore. He believes that
God has really given Sunday message
TO deliver and that he is doing a re-
markable amount of good"
He Is the personi1cation of SINGER

evening service: no one could doubt,
with cause, his earnestness."

"Second Coming" Sermon
Sends Shudders Over Vast
Tabernacle Audience.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb 6.-As the
prophet Of the second coming of Christ.
a. the literal Interpreter Of the Revela-
tions, Billy Sunday portrayed an event
50 magnitudinous and 80 terrifying
that shudders actually ran through his
hearers.
In the sermon. THE Second Coming
Of Christ" delivered at the tabernacle
yesterday. the evangelist spread a
mantle Of mysticism over materialistic
city. He invited Its thousands Of in
habitants to take their choice Of two
things: to be lifted up bodily. carried
In the flesh out of their present-day
occupations into the presence Of God
and borne to a literal heaven Of golden
streets and angel choirs, or to remain
in q world out of which all that Is good
and godly and religious and decent shall
have disappeared.
The total yield Of recruits to the in
huence of religion and to the power Of
the fiery zeal Of the evangelist. was 645.
Of whom 4S4 hit the trail last night.
streaming up the aisle for fully fifteen
minutes.
Fifty boys. wearing the uniform of
the Pennsylvania Military College at
Chester, marched up in a body and
gripped the evangelist by the hand: a
sailor from one Of the League Island
battleships, huns himself. weeping. into
the arms Of one Of the ushers, and a
blind boy cried out to be led to the foot
Of the platform.
The sweep of souls back into the
channels of religion came at the close
Of one of the most dramatic addresses
and one Of the most terrifying sermons
that Mr.. Sunday has preached here. 1t
came after he had wrest!ed with his
hearers. pleaded with God in an init
mate and personal manner. and held
a parley with the devil that has been
uneaualed in his unique efforts to
arouse the conscience OF his crowds.
