AN EXCELLENT PROGRAM OF SPORTS. RACES AND GAMES Bemidji K. of P. Team Defeated Their, Blackduck Brothers---Bemidji Reg- ulars Win From Blackduck. Blackduck, August 31. (Spe- cial to the Pioneer.)—Yesterday was “‘Bemidji Day” at the county fair, and there was a large crowd of people here from the county seat. The Bemd)i band came along with the special train from the south and enlivened the day with some tine musical selections. Hon. Halvor Steenerson, con- | gressman from the Ninth dis- trict, delivered a speech at 10:30 in the forenoon. He spoke of the early days in the north half of the state and of the wonderful! development of this region dur- ing the past few years. Hecom- plimented Beltrami county on the enterprise shown by her cit-| izens in getting up a county fair, and referred briefly to the agri- cultural possibilities of this com- munity. He was heartily ap- planded. The baseball game between the Bemidji and Dlackduck K. of! P.lolges was a onesided con- test and was easily won by the Bemidji knights, by a score of 18 to 4. Buat five innings were; played. Rutledge pitched for Bemidji and Lappel caught. For| four innings, not a Blackduck player scored. Rutledge was forced to retire at the end of the fourth, on account of iliness, and LeGore pitched the last inning, ! when there was a let-up all around by Bemidji and Black- times. : The game of ball between the Bemidjiand Blackduck regular teams was one of the hardest- fought games yet played be-| tween thesé two scrappy teams, been secured at the top of which ‘ N duck was allowed to score four|Was headed “Old Settlers’ Regis-|Very candidate for office who | tration, Blackduck, Minn., 1906.” | W38 at the fair.

The horse race was won by Ed. Leonard’s “Curley,” in easy fashion, the horse finishing under ja strong pull, far in the lead. The 100-yard free-for-all foot race was won by Morton, of Blackduck, Ray Dennis of Be- midji being second and Scott Stewart of Bemidji third. Mor- ton also won the 200-yard foot race, and was not pushed in eith- er sprint, The standing broad jump was won by “Jack” Peterson of Be- midji. A grand ball at the opera house finished the day. Blackduck, August 31. ( Spe- cial to Pioneer.)—This has been “Walker Day’’ at the fair. There was net a large crowd on the special train from Walker and Bemidji. Tne Bemidji band is here and has given excellent ser- vice. The program as printed in the Pioneer yesterday was followed out. The interesting feature of the day was the ball! game between the Walker and Blackduck teams, The exhibits are such as to cause very favorable comment. I't was not thought that such a display could be gotten together in this county. Fair Notes.

Necessary to Secure a License to Hunt in a Foreign County---Costs $1.00 According to some authorities, the north half of the state is in a fair way to be invaded by the dreaded army worm, the destroy- er of forests. The Crookston Journal says, concerning the matter: *“The people all over the north country are amazed at the enor- mous hordes of pretty, dainty butterflies that are filling the air in clouds and alighting upon the trees of the city. But the but- terfly which looks so dainty now will in time give way to a vaster horde of army worms which will eut out whole forests and make the mightiest trees hare like in winter. “The butterflies that are now herding upon the branches of the trees are in fact laying a chain of eggs about the trunks which will hatch next year into the army worm. “The north country has had these worms in the past and many of the old residents well remem- ber them. They, however, do not touch any of the grains nor injure the harvests of the farmer. Their lattitude is eatirely within the forest. S) far as known FOURTEEN LICENSES ISSUED BY THE AUDITOR UP TO 3:00 P. M. +Sam F. Fullerton, Executive Agent of Game and Fish Commission, Says Game is Increasing. While Sam F. F'ullerton, execu- tive agent of the State Game and Fish Comrmission, was in Bemidji recently, he was interviewed relative to the conditions through- out the sfate relative to game and fish, and said: “Game is everywhere on the increase, Small game is abund- ant in most localities and quail are more numerous than ever I dont know just how {yet from the :local wardens, but' And| A movemeunt shooting.

The pheasants are grotected for ten yéars and as they are rcady multipliers “and baeed fast; it'is] very probable that by the tiize the law is up, the pheasant shooting in the state of Minnesc- ta may well compare with that to be found in Oregon. We have a large force of game wardess in the field every day and during the past ten days we have appoing- ed 60 assistant wardens. . “The big game in Minnesota is | increasing fast. There are mere deer and moose in Minnesota t1day than there were five years ago. This seems a rash state- ment to make but it is none the less true. The reason is the in- creased protection afforded them. The luwberman and the pot hunters were the chief cause of the fall of the deer and moose in this state.. These condition are almost entirely eliminated now as lumbering in Minnesota is fast disappearing, and thearm of the law is now leng enough to reach these petty offenders. Besides people have seemed to acquire a sense of shame, as it were, and no longer -eonsider’ the game and fish commission as a huge joke, but see it as a force to be reckoned. with if disobeyed. “Why a few years age it was possitively dangerous for a game warden to make an arrest. As recently as eight years ago a party of Indians stabbed a war- den to death near Walker, for trying t> put a stop to the slaughter of the deer.

While some youngsters are chewing the rag over whois the oldest continuous publisher of the state this modest statement comes opportune toadmonisk the kids that they are not in the same class with one who was a publisher before some of them were born. The St. Peter Tri- bune says: ‘Jas. J. Green, of the New Ulm News, bears the prond distinction of being the oldest editor in the state, both in years and editorial service, He began his editorial career in Ohio in 1853, and in Minnesota in 1857, when he started the Traverse de Sioux Reporter and ever since that time has been in the harness, except the years he served in the army. We have found among our files a stray copy of his pa- per, the Minnesota Statesman, dated St. Peter, Feb. 3, 1860, and containing the story of the trials and tribulations of W, C. Dodge, editor of the Free Press, entitled “The Self Made Man’’ or “Tne Life and Death of a Western Pi- oneer,” written by himself, in which Editor Green claims a ‘‘scoop” over the metropolitan press in having a death. written by the man himself."’—Granite Falls 'Tribune.
