others that may go in on the theory
that you never can tell what will
happen in a boat race. In my own
opinion, the trial races will be better
worth seeing than the cup race
itself. At the present moment there
is a thrilling uncertainty about the
result. OF the boats herein men,
toned only the Manta and the James
have been in a race. No one knows
what the others can do. 1t is abso-
lutely futile to attempt critical COM
parisons-
The Mayflower is big boat, with
masts and topmasts so lofty that
ordinary shrouds and stays are not
enough to hold them rigidly in place
1t is feared that the Mayfower's
sticks will jump out Of her in a
whistling nor'easter some winter day.
The Mayfiower is said to lie over too
far in breeze of wind and to plunge
badly in a seaway. But in a mod
erately smooth sea and light breeze
she certainly can travel. / have
heard that even last year, when she
was new, the Mayfiower exceeded
the waterline length of liz feet.
Now that she has soaked up a lot
of weight outside and inside it is
said that she will have to tighten
ship by taking out ballast. If that is
the case she win be at disadvan-
tage unless the races are sailed in
light airs.

dams promptly and decisiyely re-
jected the Mayfiower That decided
the fate of the cup then and there,
because, with the Mayflower and the
Elizabeth Howard both out, there
was not anything in sight that could
hope to beat the Bluenose. Although
doomed to certain defeat, Gloucester
sent Capt Marty Welch back to
Halifax in the little old Elsie, good
boat in her day. The Esperanto
probably would have been sent had
she been afioat, but she lay atop of
sunken wreck on the sands of
Sable Island.
Capt. Marty and his hand picked
crew made a gallant fight against
the Bluenose. They actually beat
the Bluenose off the wind, but when
they turned the leeward buoy and
came on the wind the big Bluenose
romped away from the little Elsie.
A good big one always is better
than a little one. So the Bluenose
won back the cup.
While the Elsie came limping in
| with broken topmast, certain men
of Gloucester formed a syndicate
then and there and pledged them
| selves to build an honest fishing
schooner that should be feet enough
to show the Bluenose the way all
around the course. The Burgess de-
signed Puritan was built and was
sent to the Grand Banks last April
At the same time Capt. Clayton Nor
rissey brought out his new schooner
Henry Ford. The Yankee, a smaller
vessel, came out; so that Glouces-

Bluenose, the Mayfiower was built to

Painful sounds arose in Canada

the Mayfower on the ground that
she was not a genuine fishing

That left only the Henry Ford and

LUMBER MARKET REPORT
SHOWS HEAVY INCREASE

Activity in the lumber market has
shown a decided increase in the last
materially larger and there is a
very heavy inquiry, indicating that
the volume Of buying may be expec-
ted not only to continue but to in
crease. Prices are firmer and there
are fewer bargains offered. Ad-
vancs have not been very general,
according to the American Lumber
man, but the natural spread in prices
is considerably less and purchasers
find it very difficult indeed to OBJ
tain concessions. Here and there,
grades which are in keenest demand
have shown price increases.
Purchasing Of southern pine has
been somewhat interrupted by con-
fusion over prospective reduc tions
in freight rates. There CONTINUES
to be some doubt as to the method
that will be used in applying the de-
crease. but it is very plain that it
will be a small one, in few instances
amounting to more than rs cents a
thousand feet. Thus in building an
average home the saving thru the
prospective reduction in freight
would not amDunt to much more
than $40.
Production is increasing, but the
demand is sufficiently heavy to pre-
vent the accumulation Of stock in the
grades most desired. Consequently,
it is actually becoming more difficult
instead Of easier to place large orders

BEMDU MUSICAL ART
CLUB ENJOYS PROGRAM
Student Section of Club Gives
Exceptionally ENJOYABLE
Program Friday

The Bemidji Musical Art club
held one Of the finest meetings Of
the year Friday afternoon in the
Civic and Commerce association
rooms. The club, which has been
organized but few months, has
been most successful. The hearty
support accorded the organization
has made possible the purchase Of a
Packard piano, which has been plac-
ed in the association rooms and was
in use for the first time Friday.
Following the business meeting,
the president, Mrs. William c. Bulge
turned the session over to Miss Rag
mild Moe, president Of the Student
Section of the club, who presided
over the Nevin program
Nine members responded to the
roll call with current musical events
of interest Miss Lucille Jameson
read an excellent paper on the life
and compositions Of Ethelbert Nevin
one of Americas greatest musicians.
A vocal solo. "Oh That We Two
Were Maying." was sung by Miss
Myrtle Wickman, Her voice was
full and expressive and the audience
showed its approval by hearty ap-
plause.
Misses Ragnhild Moe and Vera
Cutter played a piano duet of New
ms. "Valse Caprice" in a finished
manner. Both young ladies show
ed remarkable talent.
This was followed by "Narcissus"
sung by Miss Hazel Ibertson. Miss
Grace Currie played violin obliga-
to and Miss Grace listed was the ac-
comanist. 1t was perhaps the most
artistically rendered number on the
program. Miss Ibertson possesses a
remarkably clear and pleaing voice,
and sang with poise and dignity
rarely found in so young an artist.
Raymond Nelson played three
numbers from Nevin's suite, "A Day
in Venice" Mr.. Nelson has already
established himself in Bemidji as a
pianist of exceptional ability. His
artistic Interpretation of Nevin
showed real musicianship.
The program closed with quartet
composed of the Misses Mabel Groom
Alma Elmquist, Myrtle Kobe and
Ruth Rice, who sang Nevin's most
familiar and best loved composition.
"The Rosary"
The active members of the club
gave rising vote of thanks to the
students for the carefully planned
and executed program. Bemidji's
musical future is dependant upon the
young people, and the city is indeed
fortunate in having so large num-
Der of talented young musncians.

SUPPLY OF GASOLINE IS
SUFFICIENT AT PRESENT
Increased Demand for Gas and

Threatened Strike

h Washington, D. c., March 25-
The millions of motorists concerned
over. the matter of the nations gas,
oline supply may experience at least
temporary relief in the announce
ment Of the United States Bureau
of Mines that the stocks of this VI
tai liquid fuel were increased in the
month Of January by 119,O00,OOO
gallons. On February 1, there was
a reserve of 7O5,7O0,0O0 gallons,
which is 130,0O0,0OO gallons more
than for the corresponding date in
1921. The figures are repidly ap-
preaching = the :800,000,000 gallon
record mark made in May of last
year. Production of gasoline in Jan
uary amounted to 444,622,783 gal
Ions; imports were $3.50, 1893 gallons
domestic consumption amounted to
282,717,168 gallons; exports to
49,856,310 gallons; and shipmentas
insular possessions, 675,659 gal
Ions. Present stocks are equivalent
to fifty days supply based on the
total daily average consumption for
1921. Operative refiSeries in the
United States numbered 292 on Feb
ruary i, with an indicated daily ca
pacity Of 1,753,94O barrels. Plants
running continued to operate on an
80 per cent basis.
An increased demand for gas and
fuel oils may be- anticipated if the
pending coal strike becomes a real
ity. Stocks of these oils on hand
February 1 amounted to 1873, 49,
$50 gallons. Based on the daily aver
age domestic consumption for 1921,
these stocks are equivalent to six

ton of these oils in January amount
ed to 858,11O,877 gallons.
. During January the nations output
Of kerosene amounted to 1921, 141
gallons, an increase Of 100000
gallons over the preceding month.
The fact that, despite this increase
