Those who attend the Fourth H Annual Fair of the Beltrami Agricul- [Hot Drinks | tural association, which will be held in this city next Wednesday, Thurs. day and Friday, September 14-15-16, will be given an opportunity to wit- ness some thrilling automobile races, according to W. R. Mackenzie, sec- retary of the association, who is in the city making final preparations for the fair. Mr. Mackenzie states that there will be several auto races each after- noon to be participated in by local owners of automobiles, who have signified their intention to partici- pate in the contests. 1, a AR (% A Blindfold Buyi The man who rushes blindly into the first yard he comes to when he buys lumber will never get round shouldered carrying the money he saves by such tactics. Those who reason that all lumber is alike beeause it looks alike, have several more guesses coming. There's as much difference in lumber as there is in shoes or clothes, and you don't buy those with your eyes shut, do you? As lumber is supposed to last a long time, quality should be the first consideration in buying. Your money talks here, of course, but what you get for your money, talks more yet, Our rule of quality first—then price—satisfaction always—doesn't leave any chance of blindfold Jumber buying at this yard.

Smith Retail Lumber Co., Bemidii There are now a dozen autos in this city, and all of the owners are anxious to test their speed on the splendid half-mile track which is owned by the fair associotion. Secretary Mackenzie will arrange the races for each afternoon of the fair, and it is expected that there will be some hair-raising coritests. Mr. Mackenzie states that he will also pull off a motor-cycle race A SPLENDID PROGRAM IS FOR THE FAIR Officials of Beltrami County Agricultural Association Say There Will Be Automobile and Other Races at the Fair Next Week. each afternoon in connection with the auto races, and that entries for the motor-cycle races will include participants from the Twin cities; and these races will also be exciting. It is more than, likely that several local horsemen will also settle dis- putes as to the supremacy of their respective flyers during the fair, thus insuring a race program second to none ever given in this part of the state. A balloon ascension will also be one of the features of the fair, Secre- tary Mackenzie having already se cured the balloonist to make a thrilling ascension and parachute leap. Thg fair buildings are being re- paired and placed in shape for the reception of exhibits; and a large number of letters are being received from farmers and others throughout the county which assure alarge ex- hibit of all kinds of agricultural products, livestock, etc., indicating that the main building and all of the stalls will be filled to overflowing. Additional Locals Scott Cameron of Lintoy, N. D., was a guest at the Markham hotel last night. George Kirk returned this morn- ing from a visit to the Twin cities, where he attended the state fair.

Mr. Berry states that nearly every merchant who does business in smaller towns hereabouts is gone to . St. Paul to attend the state fair, and his business with the “small fellows” has been very light this week. Dr. Ebperhart of Mason City, Iowa, brother-in-law of M. E. Ibertson, departed last night for his home, after having visited here for a week, to get the benefit of this climate for a hay fever attack, The doctor has visited here previous years, and never fails to improve after a stay here. Miss Lindeke, who has been a res- ident of this city for the past two years, having conducted a class in vocal and instrumental music, left this morning for St. Paul, where she will make her future home. Miss Lindeke has been an active worker in church circles here and her place will be hard to fill. The wishes of a host of friends go with her. E. W.

The deceased was one of the pioneer employes of the Hudson Bay company and was among the very first white men to visit Fort Fran- cis and Red Lake, and he was many times a visitor where is now located the townsite of Redby. This was fifty-five years ago, when white men were a rarity in this, the then border country. Frank Lyon, the “Sage of Tama- rack,” came to the city yesterday from his home on the Tamarack river, east of Upper Red Jake. Mr. Lyon was accompanied- by three parties who have filed on land on the north shore of Upper Red lake and who desired to change their filings to some parts which are less swampy. Mr. Lyon is one of the most popular residents of the Red lake country, where he has lived for the last twenty years. He is chock full of Indian legends and is one of the best old fellows in the country. Fair and Carnival at Baudette.

A splendid program of sensational acts has been provided, which in- cludes some “thrillers” that will greatly please. The premiums offered are very liberal. Among the speakers who will talk at the fair is T. D. O'Brien, one of the supreme court judges. No doubt a number of Bemidji people will go to Baudette and “take in” the fair and carnival. G. E.

SAYS GOOK NEVER GOT TO POLE S — Peary Brands Ri- val's SM False, ESKIMOS TOLD HIM S0 Quotes Natives in Support of His Accusation, WAS TOLD OF GOOK'S CLAIM Message in Reply to an Inquiry From New York. New York, Sept. 9.—The following dispatch has been received from Rob- ert E. Peary, dated Indian Harbor, Labrador: “I have nailed the Stars and Stripes to the North pole. This is authori- tative and correct. “Cook’s story should not be taken too seriously. “The Eskimos who accompanied him say he went no distance north and not out of sight of land. Other men of the tribe corroborate their statement.” The above dispatch gives Peary's first expression concerning the claim of Dr. Cook that he reached the North pole almost a year prior to Peary, or on April 21, 1908. Peary’s latest telegram is hardly less notable than his first announce- ment, which absorbed the attention of the entire world, as it gives concrete form to the issues already vaguely outlined in scientific quarters on the authenticity of Cook’s announcement and the question of priority of reach- ing the pole. At the same time it is the first expression of opinion from any one in a position to know the facts of the Arctic region on which Dr. Cook’s claims are based. It con- tains a direct intimation that Cook never reached the pole at all. The dispatch from Commander Peary was a response to an inquiry sent by wireless telegram to him at Indian Harbor immediately following his first announcement. The message asked him for additional particulars and corroborative details and informed him that “Dr. Cook arrived at Copen- hagen Sept. 4, claiming to have reached the pole April 21, 1908.” This dispatch to Peary was sent within a few minutes of the receipt of Peary’s first telegram announcing his achievement and it was evidently the first word the explorer received on coming within the range of civiliza- tion that Cook had already set up the claim of discovering the pole. Com- mander Peary’s reply, therefore, em- bodies his views on first hearing the news that his announcement of the discovery of the pole was disputed by Cook, OPINION OF PARIS PAPERS Declare Cook Will Have Difficulty Proving Claim. Paris, Sept. 9.—The press of Parls continues to be absorbed in the rival claims of Peary and Cook to the dis- eovery of the North pole and there is & noticeable drift of impression that Dr. Cook will have difficulty in prov- ing the validity of his claim in the face of the success of an experienced explorer like Peary. - Practically all the newspapers agree that Dr. Cook has passed into the background since Peary entered upon the scene and some -of them declare that Peary’s appearance will mean that Cook will be doubted more than ever. INCREASES EXISTING DOUBT London Opinion of Peary's Message Denying Cook’s Story. London, Sept. 9—The direct chal- lenge to Dr. Cook’s story that he reached the North pole April 21, 1908, cabled from Indian-Harbor by Com- mander Peary, has given a marked impetus to the growing tendency in sclentific as well as popular circles-to regard the claims of the earlier ar- rival from the polar regions with more than suspicion. “This dramatic message frof Com- mander Peary,” says the HEve Standard, “which throws down in the most emphatic manner the fabrie built up so elaborately by Dr. Cook, is prob- ably the beginning of a dispute which will become historic.” The Westminster Gazette says: “Commander Peary’s statement brings the whole dispute to an acute crisis and the atmosphere of the North pole is becoming decidedly sul- try, with stormy complications,” add- ing that Dr. Cook’s lecture, delivered at Copenhagen Tuesday night, was not altogether convincing. FOR ACCEPTING HUSH MONEY Chicage Police Inspector Is Placed on Trial. Chicago, Sept. 8.—Police Inspector Edward McCann, charged with mal- feasance in office and accepting bribes, was put on trial before Judge Barnes of the criminag court. McCann is accused of accepting “hush money” in connection with the alleged protection of illegal establish- ments in certain parts of the city. : : A RATID that is maintained AL= WAYS in our DEL MARCA cigar—the very maximum of quality for 10c in cigar form.
