A bunch of fstic fans gathered
around a table in one of the chief
tanning places few nights ago and
began to talk of famous punches.
. well, I've seen a lot of EN-
drawled Californian, who is visit
ing in New York City, "but I think
the best, one over pulled was by
Young Corbett in the last round of
his battle with Terry McGovern. Ter
ry. was coming in like he always did,
head down and blazing away with
both hands. Corbett pulled back
and shot his left out just as Terry
rushed in. The blow caught Terry
flush on the neck behind the ear and
he whirled head over heels. in the
air and landed fiat. He got up on
one knee and grinned and we all
thought he was resting, taking ad-
vantage of the count, but when he
made no move to get up as the re-
fierce tOlled off ten we knew he was
gone. He was clear out i've seen
him bowled oyer, but this bird did a
complete loop"
Another lad spoke up and had "a
new one on Spider Kelly. 49,.
II remember one night when a
promoter in San Francisco asked
Spider to get lad to substitute for
lightweight in a bout.
What do you want for the boy?'
the promoter asked Kelly.
"a yard and half says Spider,
which he meant for $3.50. The pro-
motor agreed and Spiders boy got the
fight. But he got an awful beating
along with it. About the fourth
round Spider grabbed his boy and
started out of the arena with him.
".'Hey, Spider, what's the big idea
why take him OUT yelled a ring
side spectators.
oh, just little early piety,' said
Spider'' -.
"Say, they wanted to mob me when
l put the kayo on One Round Davis
at Buffalo," said Fireman Jim Flynn
the other night. ''He was big card
there and I ruined him for them
They made me wait hours for my
money"

"About three or four years ago
| one of our summer visitors from Grand
Forks wrote to the Pioneer. It was
long article; in it he stated that
Bemidji should have 10000 visitors
each year instead of 500. This arti-
Gle was copied in nearly all of the
Twin City papers and the Winnipeg
papers.
The Logical Place.
LET us start this thing going at
once and few figures may help. We
now have, around Lake Bemidji, 81
cottages; Riverside 6; Turtle Lake
IA; Lake Plantaganet 8, a total of |
80 cottages, occupied by people COM
ing here for an average of three
months and they will average four
people to cottage, or a total of
about 328 people. Figuring cost of
living and the money spent other
wise at a low estimate of 81 per day
for each person, it would make a to-
tai of 1928 per day, and for 80 days, !
it would mean 100000 to be left in !
Bemidji. Suppose we could make |
this 5000 people for 80 days, it
would mean $450,000. Now. what
would we do for firm that had a !
factory that was paying. out $4,000
annually in wages and could show
that by little help they would soon
be able to pay 100000 in wages and
possibly $450,000? Would we want
that factory located at Bemidji or
would we listen to the story and for
get it? No. Every man in this club
would be out hustling to get that
factory located in Bemidji, the one
logical place for it in the whole
northwest. z

A DIVERTED RIVER.
Who Changed the Flow of the karun
In Persia Is a Mystery.

Arabistan lies at the head of the Per
sian gulf It's western boundary being
the Shatel- Arab. the great river formed
by the combined waters of the Tigris
and Euphrates. the right bank of which
is in Persian territory, while the left
is in Turkish Arabia. Forty miles
above where it flows into the Persian
gulf tile Shatel-Arab is joined by the
Karun, and the town of Mohammerah
stands mt the junction of the two rivers,
the former clear green stream, the
latter thick and red.
In ancient times the Karun flowed
into the gulf and part of the river still
runs along the Old channel, but the
main stream has been diverted, three
miles above Mohammcrah, into an arti
fetal channel known geographically
as the Haffar canal.
II is impossible even to make n guess
at the date of this wonderful work. not
even tradition remaining of the ruler
whose farsightedness realized the enor-
NOUS advantage of joining up the two
water ways. Alexander the Great has
been suggested. but apparently for no
other reason than that he is con-
venient and likely person to credit with
any ambitious enterprise, and that one
of his many Alexandrias was built on
the site of the present Mohammerah.-

sMoKELESs POWDER.
And One Reason Why Our Big Guns
Arc Made So Long.

Arc Made So Long.
Only 43 per cent of ordinary gun
powder is converted into gas when 1t
explodes. The remaining 81 per cent
is unconsumed residue, which we see
in the form of smoke. With smokeless
powder it is different. On ignition it is
converted wholly into gas. much
greater volume of gas is produced, and
the explosive effect is proportionately
! increased.
When the war with Spain broke out
in 1888 the United States government
did not have any smokeless powder.
| the Spaniards, on the other hand, had
| plenty of IL and used 1t on both land
| and sea Consequently the American
besiegers at Santiago were unable to
see the Spanish soldiers firing at them,
| whereas the enemy could see by the
puffs OF smoke just where to shoot
When Admiral Ceryera's ships came

OF the foe was obscured by the clouds

There are many kinds of smokeless

A characteristic of smokeless pow

that account modern guns, are very

driven by it leaves the muzzle of the
weapon. The smokeless powder used

Most Old People
Are Constipated

The wear of years impairs the ac-
ton of the bowels. With advanc-
ing age people are disposed TO re-
stricted activity and exercise, which
is responsible for the constipated
condition of most old folks. The
digestive organs are more sensitive
to the demands MADE upon them and
rebel more quickly
A mild, effective remedy for con-
stipation, and one that is especially
suited to the needs of elderly peo-
pie, women and children, is the COM
bination of simple laxative herbs with
pepsin that is sold in drug stores I'M
