County Farr, Hemi I, THE BEMIDJ1 VOLUME 6. NUMBER 131. BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 19, 1908. FAIR GROUNDS CONDITION Secretary MacKenzie Has Do ARF. IN FINE FOR THE FAIR ne a ‘“Heap o’ Work” in Get- ting New Building and Cleaning Grounds for the Fair, Sept. A visit to the fair grounds of the Beltrami County Agricultural asso- ciation shows that much good work has been done at the grounds under the direction of Secretary Mackenzie and President Malzahn, | and by the time the fair opens,f next Thursday morning, everything will be in readiness for a first-class “Farmers’ Fair,” which is the claim made by the officers for this year’s exhibition—a farmer’s event in every sense of the word. The different stalls of the barns have been repaired and placed in first class condition; fifteen new pens have been built and the grounds to the east of the grand stand have been brushed out and placed in excellent condition for promanade and also for the display of stock. ‘The new exhibition building occu- pies the same grounds where the old building, which was burned, stood lasr year. The new building is 150 feet long by 25 feet wide and furnishes a whole lot of space in which to place exhibits. Stands have been erected through the center of the building and provision has also been made for the exhibition of different articles brought to the fair. There are wide aisles on each side of the center extending clear through the building; and although many de- clare that not more than two-thirds of the space is needed, Secretary; Mackenzie declares that the entire 24-25-26. building will be filled with first class exhibits, The race track is in excellent condition and the farmers will have a splendid course on which to run their races Tt]ursday and Saturday. In the center of the track, back of the judges’ stand, the Bemidji high school football team, uunder the direction of Coach Matt Bright, ave laid out the gridiron for the football game between Bemidji and Fosstoon high school teams, which will be played here on Sat- urday. One of the commendable features of the building erected by Mr. Mckenzie is an apartment which has been set aside for the use of the ladies as a washroom where towels and water will be provided at all times. Secretary Mackenzie states that L. Britton of Movuel Lake will have his loom working at'the fair and will manufacture carpets in the exhibition building. There will also be several other interesting features in the main building. Much credit is due Mr. Mackenzie for" the large amount of work which he has done to the grounds and also in advertising the fair and attending to the details. He is vitally interested in the welfare of the fair, which will undoubtedly be of great benefit to the county in demonstrating what can be raised on the fertile acres of this part of the state. STATE AUDITOR IVERSON GAN'T GOME TO THE FAIR Mr. Iverson Writes that He Has Un- avoidable Engagement Which He Cannot Cancel Samuel G. Iverson, state auditor, | announces that it will be impossible for him to attend the county fair, which will be held in Bemidji next| week. A. G. Rutledge of this city bad extended Mr. Iverson a personal in- vitation to attend the fair and de- liver an address and Mr. Iverson had consented to come provided i other matters did not interfere with | the appointment. A letter was received from Mr.| Iverson yesterday, which isas fol-| lows: i “‘St, Paul, Sept. 17. “Mr. Aithur G. Rutledge, Bemidji, Minn. “My Dear Rutledge:“~The last time you were in here you spoke something about my being there for your county fair, and I think you wanted me on the 25th. I am billed to be at Plainview on the 24th, and it will therefore be im- possible for me to reach you on the 25th. I write you at this early day, in order that you may make other arrangements. I am very sorry that it will not be possible for me to meet the good people of your county on such a festive oc- casion as your county fair, but there are other days coming, and you can always count on me whenever and wherever 1 can be of any assist- ance to you. “Wishing your county fair every success, and with highest personal regards, I am, “Very traly yours, “—S. G. Iverson, “State Auditor.” Selling Lots at Lavina. FEach year Lake Bemidji, as a summer resort, becomes more popu- lar and its reputation is steadily growing in favor of those who live in the larger cities of the state. J. J. Opsahl, representative of the Sixty-first legislative district, in- forms the Pioneer that he has com- pleted deals whereby he has sold forty-two lots at Lavinia on the shore of Lake Bemidji to par- ties from Grand Forks, N. D., and from Bagley, thirty-two to the for mer and ten to the latter. Jacob Sannan of Bagley will clear up part of the lots and erect a summer hotel there. The remainder will be sold., The Grand Forks people will immedi- |ately proceed to improve their newly-acquired property and will erect cottages there next spring. People are certainly beginning to appreciate the beauties of Lake Be- midji. Your Sunday Dinner. The Merchants hotel will serve a special Sunday dinner at 12:30 to which they extend a cordial invita- tion to the public. ‘The service will be the very best. SMALL-MOUTHED BASS ARE GAUGHT IN BASS LAKE Caught Fine String There Few Days Ago. Local devotees of the rod and reel are considerably elated over the fact that they have discovered that there are small-mouthed black bass which inhabit the waters easily accessable to Lake Bemidji. This fact was discovered by two gentlemen from Chicazo, Messrs. Sitger and Carlson, who came to this city several days ago to enjoy some fishing. They had a letter of introduction to A. E. Otto, assistant postmaster of Bemidji, which letter requested Mr. Otto to show the “Windy City” gentlemen some good bass fishing, Mr. Otto took Messrs. Carlson and Sitger to Bass Lake, where they had some right royal sport in catch- ing black bass. The party was con- siderably surprised to catch a num- ber of fine small-mouthed black bass. It was not supposed that any small- mouthed bass were to be found in Bass Lake. DEFECTIVE PAGF A. E. Otto and Two Chicago Men| Grand Jury Censures Bemidji “We, the grand jury, desire to compliment Henry Funk- ley, the county attorney, upon his able and faithful service to the county and we regret that this is the last term of court whereat he will act as our county attorney, in that his - term of office will expire before the next term. “And we denounce as outrageous and uncalled for the malicious attacks that have been made upon Mr. Funkley by the Bemidji Sentinel.

BELTRAMI AND CLEARWATER COUNTIES SEND EXHIBITS. Farmers’ National Congress at Madison, Wis., Can See From These Exhibits What Can Be Raised on the Lands in Northern Minnesota. The excellent exhibits of agricultural products raised in Beltrami and Clearwater couuties, which W. R. Mackenzie, secretary of the Beltrami Agricultural association, is sending to the annual meeting of the National Farmers’ Congress at Madison, Wis., was shipped.-toeday: ‘I'he exhibit, while not by any means as complete as it might have been but for the fair which is being held here next werk, is a fair sample of what our two counties wll] produce in grains, grasses, root crops and other agricultural products. One of the features of the exhibits was some excellent tame grapes which were raised by Dr. Blakeslee of Bemidji, one his farm in the Town of Bemidji, less than three miles from the Bemidji postoffice. The county fair, which will be held in Bemidji While the exhibit is not large, for the reason stated above, it is in a great measure indicative of what can be grown on any of the cut-over lands of Beltrami and Clearwater counties. and grains, grasses and root crops, three crops of clover having been raised during one season on much of the land in this county.
