A First and a Second grade in the old Catholic church; a Third, a Fourth, a Fifth and a Sixth in the Mayer building. “School will be conducted as usual in the Fifteenth street building dur- ing the entire year. “All others will attend the Cen- tral building. It will be necessary, however, to hold half-day sessions “I shall again call the attention of parents to the kindergarten de- partment. All pupils over 5 and under 6 years of age who attend school must enter this department, which will be conducted in the Cen- tral building. “There will be a Normal depart- ment in connection with the High School, which will open for all students who have completed the Eighth grade work.

Secretary Mackenzie has com- pleted the list of races which will be run on Wednesday and Thursday of next week, the second and third days of the Fourth Annual Fair of the Beltrami County Agricultural association. The races include automobile con- tests, as well as trotting and pacing races, and running races, with lady riders in some of the running races. On Thursday afternoon there will be a five-mile automobile race. A purse will be given to the leading automobilist at the end of each mile of this race, and it is expected that there will be some pretty lively driving for the leadership each-time the autos passthe judges’ stand at the completion of a mile. There are some twelve auto- mobiles in the city, and as this race is a free-for-all contest, it is expected that nearly all of the local autoists will participate, as well as the one on Friday. There will be a free-for-all trotting or pacing race, which looks like an interesting contest. Already there are entered in this race Prince Hal, the speedy pacer owned by William The day’s events will close with a pony race, open to all ponies under fourteen hands high. On Friday there will be another five-mile automobile race with prizes for each mile. A feature of Friday’s race pro- gram will be an attempt by Prince Hal to beat the harness track record, which is 2:13%, The first record of the track under 2:20 was made by Little Jim, driven by Bob Cherry, in the first heat of a free-for-all race on September 29, 1907, the time being 2:15)4. On Junme 21, 1908, Bob Cherry again lowered the record of the track with Little Jim, placing the figures at 2:13%. Prince Hal, in his attempt to lower the track record, next Friday, will be paced by two running horses, each taking him half a mile. It is believed that Prince Hal will come pretty close to the mark, as he is in splendid condition. A unique race will be between Shetland ponies ridden by little girls under 12 years of age. This race will be a single half-mile dash. ‘There will be another running race with lady riders. grove, Hill, Dumington, Elliot, Ken- | However, there is a growing demand | Watson, Ethel L.

Alford One of the features of the concert was the clarionet playing of C. H. Bye, who is now.a member of the band. Mr. Bye is by far the most proficient clarionet player who ever played on that instrument in this city, and his addition to the band will add greatly to the playing strength of the reed instruments. His playing caused much comment among the crowd of spectators at the dock. Mr. Bye comes to Bemidji from touring the country with the “Texas Ranger” company,which appeared in Bemidji recently. He formerly lived in Michigan, and is a high- class artist on the clarionet. 1909 diaries at the Pioneer office at half-price. Additional local matter on last page. Co.’s great play of western ranch life, will be the attraction at the City Opera House soon. The selection of this dramaof the West will meet with wide approval in Bemidji and the proauction itself promises to be one of the most pretentious that will be seen here during the present season. “In Wyoming” is a genuine American play, replete with virility and strength. Willard Mack, the author, has skillfully combined his ingredients of dramatic interest with the proper admixture of comedy, and has succeeded in evolving a rare play wherein swiftly alternating laughs give place frequently to moments of intense pathos. The scenes are held near Casper, Wyo- ming. The management has furni- shed a complete scenic production, which will be used in its entirety during the engagement. At City Opera House, Wednesday, Sept. 15th. should be especially careful that their business is intrusted to a bank officered by individuals, not only well versed in the profession, but also with long years of experience. A bank with ample capital and surplus—a prosperous, progressive bank. We offer you such service and cordially invite your business.
