Bonnie was ridden by Melvin Wright, and Willie Olson rode Buffalo Bill. An impromptu.race was pulled off without the previous knowledge. of the judges, between the Shetland ponies owned by H. P. Bishop and A. T. Wheelock, the Wheelock pony winuing by a short distance. The Bishop pony and the Wheelock pony ran a handicap race later, which was the most exciting event of the day. The Wheelock pony won by a nose; after a hard struggle to make up the 100 yards handicap. The last race on the card was the five-mile automobile race, and the crowd was given a thrilling contest from beginning toend. The entries in this race was as follows: A. A. Aunderson of Hatton, N. D, in a Buick car; John Moberg, J. P. Pogue and Dr. J. T. Tuomy; in Ford cars. There was considerable delay while the drivers were getting their machines into shape for the race, and Messrs. Moberg and Pogue did not have their speeders “just right” when the race started. The drivers were given a very right less than 55 seconds each half, lapping his brother on the ninth mile, and completing the last half mile in 51 seconds, which is very good time, considering the condition of the track. Bonnie and Buffalo Bill next participated in half-mile dash run- ning race, Bonnie winning by two lengths, the time for the half being on going and circled the track, which is a half mile, in not good start, and at the first turn Dr. Tuomy shot ahead of the “‘bunch,” and had a comfortable lead. He was closely followed by Anderson, Moberg and Pogue dropping to the rear, it being evident that their machines were not working well. The first half mile was finished in 61 seconds, Tuomy leading Ander- son by about ten feet. The next half was finished in 58, and Tuomy and Anderson maintained their rela- tive positions for nine laps, lapping PEOPLES Meat Market _KLEIN & HAGBERG, Props Phone I02 Special for Saturday 2ic .10c 6¢c .10c Round Steak Chuck Steak Beef Stew....

At the begwning of the turn on the home stretch on the tenth lap, Dr. Tuomy noticably slowed up when he reached where Pogue was going around the track, and Anderson passed him, winning the race. It was claimed that the doctor was compelled to slow up because of interference at the turn of the last lap and the doctor and Mr. Anderson agreed to divide the purse of $50. The Balloon Ascension.

Compliment Cloverhill \Farm Ex- hibit. Inthe matter of sweepstakes for the best display of vegetables and general farm produce, the exhibits displayed by W. R. Mackenzie, who. owns Cloverhill -Farm, in Liberty township, was given first prize, and in awarding this prize, the judges said: *The exhibit made by Mr. Mack- enzie was far ahead of any other exhibition of farm products made at this fair, both as to arrangement of exhibits and the .quality of the different varieties shown.” Diamond Lake Band. The “Diamond Lake Band” of Becida furnished music for the fair today, and the boys did very well. The band has a membership : of ten pieces, and has as its leader, G. M. Severens. Paying Premiums Promptly. In the matter of awarding premiums and paying the same, the officials of the Beltrami county fair of ’og will go on record as being about the most prompt in concluding all matters connected with the &xbibits of any other fair held in the state in recent years. The judging and awarding of premiums oan all livestock, vege- tables, grains, grasses, fancy work, and in fact everything except butter, honey, bread, cake and a few other small articles, was com- pleted last evening and premiums on every article that won a prize were ready for the exhibitor at noon today, which is certainly a record for any assocxanon to be proud of. District Court. The work of the district court is ? | proceeding slowly. At the opening of court, this morning, the case of A. A. Andrews vs. the Northwestern Telephone company and A. E. Harris was called, Mr. Andrews being repre- sented by E. E. McDonald, Henry Funkley and A. A. Andrews, the defendant having for their attorneys John I. Ditty and John F. Gibbons. The forenoon was occupied in the arguments of a motion for dismissal, on“the part of the defendant, of the charge of slander. John Kolar, a homesteader and locator living north of Red lake, who was indicted for grand larceny in the second degree, was arraigned on three indictments and through his attorney, E. E. McDonald, in open court waived the indictment and service of the copy thereof at that time. Mr. Kolar entered a plea of not guilty with the privilege of withdraw- ing plea in three days and substitu- ting a demurrer. This was done with the consent of the county attorney. The court fixed his bail at $250 for each indictment. The plans and specifications for the new M. E. church are received, and the trustees will award the con- tract soon, and work will be com- menced at once. It is expected that the basement will be completed by December 1, when services will be held there. In the meantime ser- vices will be held in the court house. reading of the! PAYS HIGH COMPLIMENT T0 PRODUGTIVENESS [Continued from Page 1.] Duluth‘and the iron range offer as good markets for dairy products as is afforded in any part ot the United States, «“The dairy cow, clover, fodder, corn and vegetables are to be the products, rather than wheat, “If we may offer a suggestion, we will say that with fifteen to thirty acres of cleared land, one-third of it growing clover, one-third potatoes, vegetables and corn, and one-third grain, and with one good cow for every three acres cleared, any good farmer owning forty to eighty acres of this timbered land can be assured of a comfortable living for himself and family. He can be his own master, can educate his children and be assured of a home, rent free, at long as he lives. “We can but feel that the man who is wearing his life outas a ser- vant in some city might well secure a home in this healthful, fertile country and become a property owner and master of his own labor.” Prof. Thomas A, Cooper, soil ex- pert, University of Minnesota. “Future fairs should be so or- ganized that competing exhibits of each class would be presented in the same section. This gives opportunity for closer comparison and increases the educational value of the exhibits, The idea of in- dividual or of township exhibits is particularly commendable, “The soils of Beltrami county vary from a sand to a heavy clay. There is no one type of soil. This makes proper methods of agriculture extremely desirable and in fact, necessary. “The display of agricultural products at the Beltrami county fair is remarkable for a compara- tively new agricultural country. The range of products, from cran- berries and tobacco to winter wheat, is remarkable, and would put to shame many of the older county fairs of the state, It is seldom that one has the good fortune to see as fine a display of vegetable products. “The livestock exhibits were especially good for this country. The preponderence of really excel- lent dairy stock indicates that the farmers of this section will not repeat the mistake, made in so many other sections, of trying to farm without dairy stock of high and approved type. ““Nature has done much for Bel- trami county soil. The soil, when analyzed, shows high percentages of the essential elements of fertility, nitrogen, potash and phosphorous. It, however, lacks to some extent, in humus or vegetable matter. This means that in priming, the soil must be carefully handled. The first essential is to obtain a sufficient supply of humus or vegetable matter, through the application of manure, and the growing of grass crops. “A rotation of crops is necessary. Probably one of the best rotations in the management of the average farm in this county is a three-year FAIR WEEK SPECIAL WATCH SALE That will Interest You; stock reduction is our desire; it is your opportunity; we have made big cuts in prices on all watches except HAMILTONS.

Such a rotation will keep up the soil, and in fact constantly improve it. “The farmers of Beltrami county, with the aid of the two products tor which the county is particularly suited, clover and the cow, need never decrease in fer- tility and in two decades should present one of the richest farming sections of the country.” Had Very Successful Meeting.

(Special to Pioneer)—At 10 a. m. today, Doctor McNevin reported that Governor Johnson had a good night and general systems are favor- able, although the governor is suffering pain from gas in the stomach.

The famous Swedish dialect suc- cess, “Ole Olson,” which is under- lined to appear at the City Opera House, Monday, Sept 20, furnishes a quaint picture of the development of the awkard and untutored immi- grant lad into the shrewd, honest and helpful Swedish-American of the Northwest. The story of this pleasing little play, is a combination of wholesome comedy and natural heart interest— a stage replica of just such scenes as are enacted around many family hearthstones. In its good-natured, wholesome comedy, its touches of pathos and its utter freedom from straining for effect, the play offers a good example of wholesome enter- tainment and well deserved as its continued success. It will be pre- sented with the same scenic environ- ment and competent company that has had so much to do with its success in the past. Band Concert Tonight. The usual Friday evening band concert will be given at the band stand on the city dock tonight, com- mencing at 7:30.
