several injured was the toll of yester-
days excessive heat followed by
storms last night. A twister cross
ed St. Croix and Polk counties, Wis

At Fargo, a heavy rain totalline
one inch fell during the night. This
makes the rainfall in that section
now slightly above normal, according
to Robert Spencer, observer at Moor

State Fair Board Offers Less
Than Expected; Bemidji to
Donate the Balance
PUBLIC CONTRIBUTIONS
WILL ASSURE FAIR TRIP
Name of Organization Changed
to Bemidji Boys Band; No
Concert This Evening

Voluntary contributions are now
asked in order to raise a sufficient
amount to send the Bemidji Boys
band to the Minnesota State Fair
this Fall. The directors Of the Be-
midi Civic and Commerce associa-
ton have accepted the offer of $500
made by the state fair board and are
now waiting for the contract from
that body. This offer is much low
er than was expected but neverthe-
les Bemidji is not discouraged.
In the budget raised by the Be-
midi Civic and Commerce associa-
ton several months ago was an ap-
preparation of $500 for this purpose
and this sum will be applied on the
total amount needed. Approximate
ly $3.50 is still needed in order to
finance the trip and a committee
with C. W. Vandersluis as chairman
has been appointed to arrange for
the financing Of the affair.
The committees plan is that rs
persons foster the sending Of the
same number of band boys, each per-
son giving $40, In the event that
this sum is not reached, contributions
of any size will be received at the
Pioneer office and the names of those
contributing will be published from
day to day. This contribution fund
will be open until Saturday evening
June "a. Several parents have al
ready volunteered to furnish the nee
essary $40 for their boys and it is
practically certain that the needed
amount will be raised. Nevertheless
public contributions are welcome and
will be received at the Pioneer Office
or by Mr.. Vandersluis.
Only a very brief concert was Civ
en- Thursday evening on account of
the rain. However, no concert will
be given this evening. This noon the
boys furnished a short musical pro
gram and parade through the down
town district on it's way to the fair
grounds where it gave program for
the annual picnic of the Beltrami
county farmers.
The name Of this organization
has been changed to the Bemidji
Boys band, the change having been
made after the boys took vote
on the matter. 1t is believed that
this name will better carry the i'm
preston that the band is composed
of larger boys and is capable of TAX
ing its place among any municipal
bands in the state.

FOUR BEMIDJI YOUTHS
ENJOY 100 mile HIKE
Camping Experience i. Object
Of Extensive a.,il's' Hikes ike; Lifts. ~,
We're Not Accepted s,ss

Farley, White Pine, .Cass Lake,
Wilkinson, Benedict, Laporte,, Guth'
RE and Nary were visited by four Be-
midi mixers on a little ramble in
quest of camping experience. These
mixers were Lloyd Lind, Luman Al
drich, Irwin Keller and Charles Van
dersluis, Jr. The boys left Bemidji
at 1915 Ia. m. Monday, June S, and
walked to Farley the first day. The
mosquitoes were able to penetrate the
coarse netting and the boys did not
have over an hours sleep that night.
This accounted for them making only
to White Pine, distance Of II miles,
the second day. II
Wednesday night they made a
straight hike of 10 miles from White
Pine. to Norway Beach. Thursday
morning they reached Cass Lake and
that night they hiked to Wilkinson.
Friday afternoon Benedict was added
to their list Of towns and Saturday
they visited Laporte and Guthrie,
staying at Guthrie until $3.50 Sunday
morning, from which time to 8 a. m.
was occupied in the walk to Bemidji.
Bemidji looked to the boys on their
arrival home, they report, to be bet
ter and bigger than all the other
towns put together. The mosquitoes
were the one great drawback to COM
fort and they did a good job. Two
'spup" tents, six blankets and food
supplies made up the packs which the
boys carried. r. ! :: =
- No rides whatever were taken. In
cases of two routes between towns,
the longer route was invariably tax
en-, except from Cass Lake to Will
kinson when that stretch was hiked
on the railroad tracks. The. inhabi-
tants Of the towns visited were al
ways helpful and enthusiastic toward
the mixers and this kindness expe-
dited the getting of supplies. L
The boys declare that the hike was
a good, long 100 miles and in count
ing up the mileage, the lowest esti-
mates were taken. The addition of
these estimates made up the num-
Der of miles which was their aim.
This hike had no bearing on Scout
work, @.s 81. - ee,.: H., >,.-.. 3& ~.

Present Governor, Nathan Mil
Ter, Expected to Run Against
William r. Hearst n
HEARsT's AMBITION rs
TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT
All-Absorbing Topic IN New
York State at Present 10 .
Gubernatorial Race =
BY p. B. Scott

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent)
Albany, N. Y, June 1G-Political
observers at New York states cap
itol today were more than ever con-
WINGED that the state ticket this fall
will be Miller vs. Hearst. Z
They are basing this conclusion on
two things: =
First, that Republican party chief
tans are determined that the present
governor, Nathan L. Miller, shall run
to succeed himself, in the hope ;of
grooming him for presidential timber
if he is elected; sSf
Second, that William Randolph
Hearst has the Democratic nomina-
ton sewed up in his pocket, il lie
cares to take it, and according to
every indication here, he wants It..
1t has been learned on credible "a.
thority that the republican party
managers have decided that Miller
must be the G. o. P. candidate,
whether he wishes it or not. The
plan of the leaders at the present
is to trot out all aspirants for the
gubernatorial nomination.. killing
them all off one by one, and at the
last minute in the convention nom
mate Miller.
Miller's record has been attracting
nationwide attention ard it has been
gratifying to some of his party lead
ers to note that he has been msh-
toned as presidential possibility BY
editors outside OF the state. This
has inspired them with the BELIEF
that he will be serious consider
alton at the next G. O. p. national
convention if he is elected and it liz
decided that Harding shall be retired.
The Hearst Aspirations !,
On the other side Of the political
fence, two big factors point very
strongly to the fact that Hearst de-
sires the Democratic nomination.
The first is the significant fact that
practically the same men are foster
ing his candidacy upstate as did in
1906. The second is that Hearst
is believed to think that if he can
capture the election this year, he will
be in a position to command atten-
ton when he puts forward his claim
for consideration rs the Democratic
presidential nominee years hence.
This latter is said to be by those
who know him, Hearst's one big am
bition--to try for the presidential
chair. He is credited with reasoning
that if he can be elected governor
of New York state, then he is the
logical man to be Democracy's stat-
dard bearer. -
The one interesting feature Of the
Democratic situation this year is the
aloofncss Of Tammany Hall. No word
has yet come from the Fourteenth
street wigwam as to who would be
acceptable to them, but here is the
situation as it appears here. -.
Under the new convention law,
