But Prospects Are Extremely Bright For Heavy Fall And Winter Business. Although Bemidji is feeling the usual effect of the general de- pression that is felt in the mid- summer season and the conser- vatism that always marks the approach of a mnational election. local business conditions are of a satisfactory nature. Other s and towns in the northern part of the state are mach more depressed than Be- midji, and although some re- marks are heard from residents of this city about the general lull that seems to prevail heve, peo- ple from other cities are heard to remark on the liviiness of Be- midji compared with other sec- tions of the country in which they have been and they all seem to e upon Bemidji as being th veliestcity they have visited. Thereis a lull in some lines, but the natural location of Be- midji as a summer resort brings many people to the city during the dull season and increases the volume of business to such an extent that very few complaints are heard Prospects for a very busy fall and winter are bright, and the merchants have invariably ov- dered a larger stock for these seasons than ever re. As soon as fall comes and the na- i is disposed of, another spurt. Mallards at Mallard. A party returning from Mal- lard lake today reports that young ducks are very plentiful there this season.

In the baseball game ynst(\.‘t'duy between Bemidji and the Alkeley [ndians on the local grounds Be midji took the game easily, se- curing twelve scores, while only one of the Akeley bunch success- fully reached home plate. It seemed that the entire ag- gregation from down the line was “oft” yesterday, and Kruger and Skogsburg, the twirlers, allowed seventeen safe hits. Errors in fielding allowed a number of Be- midji’s scores. Witt was up to his excellent standard of pitch- ing and the visitors secured three | hits. Hazen did good work in left field and secured three hits. Only two errors were made by Bemidji and the entire team gave excellent support.
