THE MAHARA MINSTRELS WILL BE HERE AUS. 3I. One of Very Best Colored Troupes in Country.—Splendid Band and Orchestra. The Cedar Rapids (Iowa) Gazette says of Frank Mabara’s colored minstrels, which will appear in Be- midji Tuesday evening, August 31, at the City Opera House: “Frank Mahara’s Minstrels are proving to be a great drawing card at{The Alamo Park this week and the performance is worthy the con- sideration of every one. “The singing and dancing is ex- ceptionally good and Harry Gilliam’s clever comedy work is bringing forth"| continual screams at every perform- ance. His impersonation of S. H. Dudley and also Ernest Hogan is so near perfect that some are still guess- ing as to who the performer really is. “Mr. Clarke, the stage director, is pulling off some very comical stunts and is being rewarded with continu- ous applause at every turn. ‘The whole company is far above the average of any minstrel organi-| zation and is composed of some evcellent singers. A good many new songs are being introduced, one of which is a basso solo by the com- poser, Harry Stone. *“The burlesque in the second act is novel and is causing considerable comment which gives it credit. “The Alamo Park theater ought to play to capacity business the rest of this week if the weather permits, as the visitors will certainly see a per- formance in every way equal to a $1.50 show. “Mahara carries his own band and orchestra and the band which has been giving daily street parades and concerts down town has made a big hit.,, IS T00 MUGH MOVEMENT FROM GOUNTRY TO GITY [Continued from Fiist Page.] i and preparing them for the foreign markets. The State of Minnesota owns up- wards of 3,000,000 acreg of land in this district, parts of which are offered for sale each year at'15 per! cent cash, and 40 years’-time on the balance at 4 per cent. The average selling price per acreof the state lands is between $6 and $7, while millions of acres of these lands are held by corporations who are now offering them for sale on practically as easy terms-as the state. - Such men as Henry Wallace of the United States Commission.on Country Life, and Ex-dean Henry of the Agricul- tural College of Wisconsin, state that these are the only cheap lands left in the United States that offer assured success to a man of limited means on whichto build a permanent home. Minnesota’s pure _water, healthful climate, combined with her Juxuriant lgrowth of all kinds of nutrious grasses, makes every section of the | state an ideal spot for all kinds of live stock culture which has not been advanced to the extent of consuming either the pasture or hay grown. If} the stock raisers and breeders in the older sections could but travel through this state and see the millionsof tonsof hay that are practic- ally going to waste, there is no doubt but what this new state would soon contain five times the amount of live stock which she at present possesses. As the cattle produced on the ranges are fast disappearing by the en- croachment of the settler, there is no doubt but what ina few years capital will find it profitableto utilize the vegetation, that is not going to waste, for stock raising. The Commissioner of Immigration has compiled a list of upwards of 225 commercial organizations who have signified their willingness to give information about their various districts in Minnesota to persons desir}ng same. These organizations have noland for sale, but are willng to answer any correspondence upon application. Lists of these will be sent by writing the State Board of Immigration, State Capitol, St. Paul, Minn, Colonel Johnson Is Here. Colonel C. E. Johnson of the Third Regiment, Minnesota National | Guard, came up yesterday from his home in Mankato to attend the meeting of the local armory board, of which he is a member. The board was to have met this afternoon | | to consider the proposition of fur- lnishmz a suitable armory and drill- ing quarters for Company K, Be- |midji’s quota of the national guard. | The other members of the armory iboard are City Treasurer Earl Geil {and Captain Adam E.Otto of Com- pany K. 1909 diaries at the Pioneer office at half-price.

CRISIS IN GREEK ARMY SITUATION 5 Portion of Garrison at Ath- ens Mutinies. MINISTRY HAS RESIGNED Agitation in Military “Circles Caused by Dissatisfaction With Existing Conditions and Rejection of De- mands for Reforms—Crisis in Army Affairs Adds to Unrest of the Gen. eral Public.
