TOXIC, Oct. 1.-THE congressional
party, or rather the remnant thereof,
Consisting cf one senacor and ten
congressman who made the trip
through Korea and to Japan, finally
reached Toxic last night, and Wele
given a very cordial reception By q
large number CT high japanese Gffi-
Gals and members OF the Amcr.c9 i
embassy staff, other members Cf the
American colony being mainly notice
able by Their absence.
The party has been put up in the
Imperial hotel, and vii! now run the
gamu5 of series OF official recep-
tions, garden parties, d nacrs ard other
such entertainment. The japanese
frankly admit that they are aware Of
the fact that their enemies VII claim

nevertheless to show t4e travellers

The merry whirl began with a great
luncheon, attended By about five hun
dred persons, principally japanese Of
ficiale, and given by Prince TokugaWa,
president CT the House Of Peers and
SpeakerlO OEa Of the House of Repre-
senta.ives. The usual welcome
speeches were resposded to by Senator
W J. Harris and by Congressman
John W Small. The latter said. re-
terr.ng evidently to California, that
5na state can not sway the public opin-
ion e the entire United States, adding
that those who were trying to eXagge-
rate the differences between the
United States and Japan were only
jinCoee. Both countries were too in
tent on justice and were too friendly
disposed towards each other ever to
make s possible for any difficulty to
find solution in other than a pacific
manner.
The japanese had plainly taken the

The section of tunnel being driver
at this time to connect with the Yves.
end of Tunnel No. z will be herman
cnt, as it is through solid rock and
where the connection is made with
the present tunnel, that tunnel is Of
solid rock, and little timbering has
been used. When the work is COM
pleted, there is no reason at all why
the work should not be of a perman-
ent nature, and there is no danger of
a recurrence of the trouble, it is de-
clared.
Congressman William Kettner and
II. n. Savage, hydraulic engineer, in
company with Manager Pontius, spent
yesterday and the day before at the
blockade in Carriso gorge, returning
by way of Barrett dam.

terday, "and | am satisfied, after
close inspection. that the work will
be finished inside of a month. One
reason why | am so much interested
in the opening of the road is because
congress, at its last session, author
lied the appointment of five members
Of the house committee on naval af-
fairs and five members of the senate
committee on naval affa RS TO visit
San Diego next month to inspect the
harbor and naval activities. This

GOODS LOVE FOR THE
BACKSLlDER," SUBJECT
OF WEICLE SERMON

Another fine-spirited meeting was
held in the big tent last night. DIR.
Weigle preached on Gods love for
the backslider from the story of
Balaam. He said, that when a person
turns away from God and persists in.
asking God to leave him alone there
is nothing for God to do but leave
him alone. But when he turns from
his sin and is willing to have Gods
will done, which is always for his
good, the plan of an infinite Heavenly
Father for His child, then Christ can
do His work. The impression left
by the meeting was that a man is
blinded and deceived who stays away
from God.
Service in the tent tonight at 8
o'clock. It is expected the new Saliva
ton Army officer will be here and
conduct a street meeting at 7:3O.
Everybody welcome-only ten days
left. n II

PROSPECTS ARE GOOD
FOR EXCEPTIONALLY BIG

Farmers' Clubs Will Have, Ex-
hibits and Farm Bureau
Will Be Represented

Judging from all present indica-
tions the Beltrami county fair to be
held on Septembers16, 16 and II this
year will be one Of the biggest and
best ever held in this county. Elk
hibits will be entered by a number
of farmers clubs, and the Farm
Bureau will also be represented in
addition to the individual entries.
In Beltrami county there are at
present twenty-five farmers clubs
and of this number nineteen are To-
Gated in the southern part of the
county where they may easily enter
a display at this fair. At least ten
of these are planning to have booth
and keen competition is assured.
Other farmers clubs which have not
yet made arrangements to put on a
club exhibit are urged to do so. The
display of farm products in this way
would not only encourage the raising
of better crops but it would also en-
courage better cooperation among
the farmers as WE'LL
The Beltrami county Farm Bureau
will move its office to a booth in

promise to be the best by far ever
engaged for the county fair here
have been secured. :; These attractions
include Florinne, an accomplished
piano-accordionist; the Burtinos, SEN
sational wire cyclists and a fifteen
foot man, and the Johnstone's Com
edy circus, made up of three people,
two educated horses and Jasbo, the
bucking mule. The latter attraction
is advertised for those who wish to
laugh only, and promises to be very
entertaining. -
Displays will undoubtedly be en-
tered by members of the boys and
girls clubs throughout the county.
In this work it is planned to hold
small local fairs about the time
school begins again and then the
winners at these small fairs will be
urged to exhibit their displays at the
