S WHEAT GROP ESTIMATE OF NORTHWESTERN STATES Continued from First Page in the outturn of their wheat—the the lighter yield—they ought to be satisfied, to some extent at least, with the quality of the new crop and the higher prices obtainable therefor. Most reports from Minne- sota and South Dakota and a fair proportion of those from North Dakota state that the grading of the spring wheat crop will be good —a larger proportion than last year will grade Nos. 1 and 2. On the other hand, Durum wheat will prob- ably not show any better quality than last year, and occassional cor- respondents state that it is poorer in all respects. It is probable that the season has not been as favorable for this kind of wheat as that of the regular spring wheat. There will be no difficulty in securing a good milling wheat as far as the quality is concerned. “According to general calculations the Northwest will require all the wheat raised within its borders dur- ing the current harvest year. Interior millers will no doubt maintain their production of flour, in view of the good general demand for flour, and the millers at the larger terminal markets will keep their manufacture in pace with the general trend of trade. The Northwestern Miller, a reliable milling authority at Minne-| apolis, claims that there are about 525 flour mills in the Northwest,and that the requirements of these mills under a good condition of trade is approximately about 150,000,000 bushels. The seeding requiuements may be reasonably placed at 20,000,- 000 bushels. Thus, the aggregate requirements of the Northwest would absorb the crop. A good demand for flour and millstuffs—which is} highly probable under the present conditions of the trade—will tend to enlarge the manufacture and allow little wheat for shipment. Receipts of wheat forwarded from other states may offset any quantity which may be forwarded elsewhere.” In the table giving the estimated average yield of wheat per bushel Beltrami county is placed at 20 bushels. And the yield for the year 1904 was 15, for 1905 it was 17, for 1906 it was 20. These figures were furnished the Chicago commercial paper by County Auditor John Wilmann, only after a careful investigation and research. In this connection, itis a very noticeable and noteworthy fact that but one other county in the state exceeds the average estimate bushels per acre given Beltrami county, and that is Carver, with an estimated yield of 21 bushels per acre. Only two counties in the state equal the Beltrami county estimate, they being Aitkin and Wabasha, with 20 bushels each. The showing is certainly a good one for this new north country, where so many people for years con- tended that no cereals could be suc- cessfully cultivated on “jack pine” cut-over lands. THE KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS . PLAN A FINE PROGRAM Notable Grand Lodge Officers Will Attend Local Meeting This Evening.---Attention, Knights. The local lodge of Knights of Pythias intend that this even- ing shall be a notable one in Pythia- nism in this city. Arrangements have been made whereby Frank T. Young of Duluth, Grand Chancellor of K. P. grand| lodge, and Fred E. Wheaton of Minneapolis Grand K. of R. & S,, will be present in their official capacity and assist the knights in making the meeting and the enter- tainment a very enjoyable and profit- able affair. The grand lodge officers will be met at the depot in the afternoon and evening and escorted toa hotel. Promptly at 8:00 p. m. a regular meeting of the lodge will be held in Castle Hall (Masonic Block) It is expected that there will be some work in the degrees and the meeting will be addressed by both of the grand lodge officers. The local Knights have invited their lady friends to be present and assist them in having a good time and to that end the ladies are requested to assemble in the club room of the Crookston Lumber com- pany, which is on the first floor of the Masonic block, at 9:30 sharp. The regular meeting of the lodge will adjourn at that time and the Knights will immediately serve a supper in the lodge room up-stairs, to the members of the lodge and their friends and there will be a musical program, card playing and a general good time. Will Be at the Fair. J. Jerome, the Battle River mer- chant, spent yesterday in the city, having come in the previous night from the twin cities, where he had been to purchase a large stock of winter goods for his general store at Battle River. Mr. Jerome is an enthusiast in the raising of farm products, and his presence at the fair will assist in working up interest in the exhibits. Mr. Jerome has some dent corn that he will exhibit, which issaid to be second to none which was shown at the state fair. BEMIDJI IS GOOD POINT TO LOCATE BOX FACTORY The Buena Vista Factory Would Have Better Shipping Facilitles if Located Here. The box factory at Buena Vista is doing a nice business, these days, if one can judge by the amount of boxes and crates that are being hauled down from the “Top of the World” to this city for s hipment over the various lines of railroad that center here to outside points. Yesterday, two wagonloads of boxes were brought down for ship- ment and several more are expected during the week. The quality of boxes made at the Buena Vista factory, under the direction of R. H. Dickinson, the general manager and superintendent of the plant, is such that the demand exceeds the supply, and Mr. Dickin- son will undoubtedly be forced to enlarge his plant in the near future. Buena Vista is a good point for the location of the factory, so far as the supply of “raw material” is con- cerned, but the shipping advantages are not at all desirable, there being no railroad at that place. The Pioneer suggests that Mr. Dickinson and his associates look over Bemidji and take under advise- ment the proposition of moving their mill to this city, as a desirable ship- ping point, with suitable timber for box-making easy of access.

D R — SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR FAIR BEING LIBERALLY MADE Many Are VoI;h‘r;; Placing Their Names on the List for Required Fund. The work of securing funds to pay the expenses of the forthcoming fair is progressing very satisfactorily. Since yesterday noon a grand rally has been made in circulating the $10 subscription list, with the result that a large number of new names have been added to the list. The committee has not received a single turn-down, as the strictly business-like manner in which the fair is being conducted precludes any suspicion of “graft” or other insinuation, except that all of the funds will be appropriated to a good purpose. There is still a considerable sum needed, and the committee is con- tinuing its good work. Subscriptions of the $10 date are as follows: list to TODAY’S SUBSCRIPTIONS. F. L.

Peck’s pen and the only dramatization thereof have made the name and fame of “Peck’s Bad Boy” a house- hold word from fireside to theatre, wherever the English language is spoken. Hence, the coming to Bemidji City Opera House on Mon- day, Sept. 23, of the wonderfully popular and successful farce comedy MRS. PECK. embodying and vitalizing in charac- ter creations by a remarkably strong cast the best of the famous humor- ist’s inimitably funny hits, skits and sketches from real life, made from a standpoint to amuse all and offend none, justifies anticipations of laugh- ter long and loud enough shake the Coliseum’s walls, and of more tickles than the biggest circus tent could hold.

The chief cause for the slow pro- gress made was apparently consid- erable quibbling anent the proposed granting of the franchise to the street railway people, wherein there was attempted to introduce amend- ments which were already covered by the original ordinance. The ordinance granting the fran- chise was given its second reading and a discussion ensued relative to some minor | considerations, all of which were ultimately passed over, and the ordinance will be given its third and final reading and placed on its passage or rejection at the meeting of the council to be held next Monday evening. The city clerk was instructed to advertise for bids for the sale of the sioners. Heleft last night for his|$30,000 waterworks bonds that were home at Northome. Mr. Tone stated to the Pioneer representative that the people of Grand Rapids had changed the dates for their forthcoming county fair from September 27—28 to October 4th and 5th, so that a large number of the “Rapids” people can come to Bemidji to take ina really good fair. ‘Wanted—Dishwasher.
