The game hadto be called at the end of the seventh inning on account of darkness. Bemidji secured four singles and three two-baggers off Norris and the visitors nailed five singles and two 2-base hits off Baumgardner. The locals made five errors and the Wahpeton boys three.

The money for the $195,000 bond, issued recently by the board of county commissioners of Beltrami county, is now in the Capitol National Bank of St. Paul awaiting the signing of the bonds, according to astatement made this morning by G. H. French, the county treasurer of Beltrami county. The bonding company agreed to furnish the blank bonds and it is presumed that they are now being prepared as they have not been presented yet to the chairman of the board of county commissioners and the county auditor for their signa- tures. The Security Trust company of St. Paul was the successful bidder for the county’s bonds, offering a premium of $1,131.75 in addition to the par value of $195,000. These bonds were voted by the board of county commissioners for the purpose of taking up the out- standing floating indebtedness of Beltrami county. Ford Cars Lead in. Ocean to Ocean Contest. The two Ford cars in the New York to Seattle contest_arrived at St. Louis on the morning of June 7th, having finished 1,253 miles of their 4,200 mile journey. The following telegrams which have been received by us from day to day explain fully the situation as it has been right from the start. Ford cars have finished first and second every day; the worse the road conditions, the better the light cars have shown up and with every- thing going well, the trip from New York to Seattle will probably be finished in twenty-one days.

BURNING SLASHINGS IS AT RISK OF THE BURNER State Forestry Commissioner Explains Provision of Law Passed Relative 1o Burning Slashings. Gen C. C. Andrews, state forestry commissioner explains the law passed at the last legislature relative to the prevention of forest fires: “The new law on forest fires, chapter 182, session laws 1909, requires the slashings made after it took effect April 13, 1909, to be burned, but not those made pre- viously. But if any one chooses to burn slashings made previously he must first have them piled. “Wardens must not advise, fix time or take any responsibility for burning slashing or other combust- ible material. A person who has slashings to burn must follow it, and Miles Bloek. take all the responsibility himself.

FAKIR IS REPRESENTING NORMALS; NO AUTHORITY A Man Who Has Been “‘Operating” in Crow Wing County Is so Characterized. The Brainerd Dispatch, in a recent issue, tells as followsof a brilliant fakir who is taking in the farmers of Crow Wing county; and it would be well for Beltrami county people to keep an eye open for the possible appearance of the gentle- man in these parts: “J. A. Wilson, county superinten- dent of schools of Crow Wing county has issued a circular to the teachers of the county stating that he has in- formation that a man is canvassing the rural schools in this county, claiming to be sent out by the Nor- mal Schools to teach reading and nature study. After making his talk he introduces an encyclopedia which he tries to sell to teachers which he says the normals desire the teachers to purchase. “He also shows letters to which are appended the names of Prof. Wilson and Prof. Hartley, of the Brainerd city schools.- Mr. Wilson states that the normal schools have expressed no desire to have teachers secure encyclopedias, nor has he given any letters to that effect. His circular closes with a warning to teachers not to rermit strangers to take the time of their schools nor to do business with him as he is an evident fraud.” ers” Concerning School The sale of Minnesota state school lands, which began May 24th and will continue until and including July23, is attractingmuch attention, not over this state, but in adjoining states, thanks to the persistent efforts of George Welsh, state immigration commissioner, and Samuel G. Iver- son, state auditor. The sale of state school lands for Beltrami county will be held in Be- midji Wednesday, June 23rd, and below is given the official notice of conducted. In a recently-issued pamphlet, Mr. Welsh, in referring to these sales, says: “A state which offers 20,000,000 acres of good agricultural land at prices ranging from $5 to $25 per acre.
