Three full coach loads of Bemidji citizens took advantage of the op- portunity to visit the largest body of fresh water wholly within the boundries of the state of Minnesota, and Red lake was never in better form for sightseers. The excursion train left Bemidji at 10:15 and arrived at Redby shortly after noon. Excellent meals were obtained at Redby, after which the excursionists boarded the big steamer “Michael Kelley” and were taken to the Red Lake agency, some six miles distant. The trip on the lake is a treat. As far-as the eye can see in a straight northerly direction there is nothing but a vast expanse of toss- ing waves, a truly novel sight to the uninitiated. The lake is beauti ful at this season of the year—with its green-foliaged shores, shady nooks and fine beach. Umpire Lars?n Strike outs—Comny 11, Bush 8. Errors—Bemidji' 9, Fosston 4.

The boat returned from the agency at 6 o’clock, and the train started back to Bemidji at 7:30. One capnot be greatly impressed by a visit to Redby. When a person first gets off the train he is almost led to believe there is nothing of more - than ordinary interest there. However, if he will but walk about the town- site and look over the woods there- abouts Le will find much that wil be of interest. The townsite consists of 320 acres, and was granted to the M., R. L. & M. railway company for townsite purposes during the winter of 1895-96. There is an elegant half-mile of beach on Red Lake, At the'mouth of Mud river, at, the eastern extremity of the town- site, is one of the most beautiful spots in the entire Red Lake country. It is at this point that the Indians have for a century past procured their supply of maple sap, and the large maple trees are scarred in many places, showing the work of the reds. At the western end of the town. site is an Indian settlement, with an old church, where the Indians have worshipped f6r many “moons.” Near the church is also an Indian burial ground, the little mounds indi- cating that many of the warriors of the Red Lake band who passed to the “happy bunting ground” years the excursionists were of more than ordinary interest. Some 500 Red Lake and White Earth Indians are camped at the agency, and their tents and grounds ‘'were visited. The reds had -been dancing all of the previous night and were not particularly active. Their methods of camp life were fully ago are sleeping beneath the pines. The trip to Redby should be taken by all citizens of Bemidji who desire to -visit interesting points, and it also gives one the opportunity to spend a Sunday in a quiet place where a basket lunch may be en- joyed. And the trains are run very conveniently. _—_—— ‘Excellent Sermon. The Rev. Isaac Peart, was greeted by a full house yesterday morning. It was an inspiring audience. ~ One that made it an easy task for the minister to speak. The subject under discussion was “Opportunities Where We Are,” and was delivered mainly to the summer school students.

Blackduck, July 8.—(Special to Pioneer.)—A compromise meeting of saloonkeepers and other citizens of Blackduck was held in the village Saturday evening for the purpose of discussing the proposed clapping on of the “1id” here, relative to closing the saloons at 11 o’clock at night. For several weeks past, there has been considerable discussion as to Blackduck getting into line with the “lid” proposition, and the matter created considerable concern among the local owners of ‘“refreshment parlors.” The saloon men state that if the proposition of closing promptly at 11 is adopted and rigidly adhered to, several of them will be com- pelled to go out of business; and again, the closing of the saloons at that hour will mean a great falling Off in the receipts of the electric ghting plant. “ At the meeting held Saturday, a committee consisting of Messrs.
