EXPERT FAIR JUDGES FOR 1910 HAVE BEEN SELECTED Agricultural Critics From All Parts of State Will Give Benefit of Experience. Judges for the Beltrami county fair of 1910 were announced today by Secretary W. R. Mackenzie of Bemidji. Men experienced in agri- culture from all parts of Minnesota and the neighboring state of Wis- consin have been secured to sit in judgment of the Beltrami county products next September. The board of judges is composed of five members, They are: A. J. McGuire, superintendent of the Northeastern State Experimental farm at Crand Rapids; J. V. Bailey of Newport; Thomas Cooper, of the state university; Prof. R. A. Moore, of the University of Wiscon- sin; and Prof. George P. Grout of the University of Minnesota. No farmers’ meeting in this part of the state is considered complete without the presence of A. J. Mc- Guire. The superintendent is well known bere, having acted as judee at the fairs of 1908 and 1909 and being identified with the state farmers’ institutes. J. V. Bailey has the reputation of being one of the best known critics of vegetables at the Minnesota state fair. Although only a young man, he is widely recognized as a grower of small fruits and vegetables. He has a large wholesale business in small fruit plants. Thomas Cooper, assistant agricul- turist atthe University of Minnesota, is one of the brighest of the St. Anthony Park instructors. He is an-expert on the feeding of all kinds of live stock, and has devoted -years to the study of Minnesota sails and their adaptibility to raising different crops. Mr. Cooper spent several months in the northern counties of the state, examining these soils. Farmers of Beltrami county were well pleased with the judging ability displayed by R. A. Moore, professor of agronomy at the University of Wisconsin, in 1908 and 1909. His reputation as a breeder of seeds is of national scope, and he is an officer of the national corn exhibi- tion. Beltrami is the only county, outside of Wisconsin, at who's fair Mr. Moore has consented to act as judge. Professor Moore was the judge of corn and other grains at the Minnesota state agricultural exhibit in St. Paul last January. Farmers who attend the 1910 fair will get some fine “pointers” on stock judging from Prof. George P. Grout, who has charge of this work at the college of agriculture of the state university. 7 ‘A. P. White, president of the 1910 fair, and Secretary Mackenzie . be- lieve that the corps of judges is without exception the best that any county fair could possibly get to- gether. The president and the sec- retary are doing everything possible to make the county fair next fall the best in northern Minnesota. SHOWIS GOMING TO BEMIDJI ““The Last of His Race,” with all its wealth of special scenery, gor- #eous costumes, bright and catchy specialties, is the attraction at the City Opera house April 27. This piece which has attained such an enviable reputation and secured such a hold on the hearts of theater- goers from one end of this broad land to the other, is from the pen of Clarence Bennett, author of the “Holy City,” another notable suc- cess. Mr. Bennett has located his scenes near the city of Mexico and based the fabric of the play on events which actually occurred dur- ing the brief reign of the unfortu- nate Emperor Maximillian. The great treasure, the secret of which was s0 loyally and jealously guarded by El Aguila (The Eagle) who although a serf, traced his line- age from the royal Montezumas, is founded on fact. The success of this piece has been so phenominal in America that this firm has de- cided to present it next year in Eogland.~ ks 5 CALL IS ISSUED FOR CROOKSTON CONGRESS Northern Minnesota Development Asso- ciation Will Hold Summer Meet- ing June 1, 2 and 3. REAPPORTIONMENT PLANK FROM REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS Personal Politics to Be Kept Out of Convention.—No Political Speakers Will Be Allowed. An official call for the summer meeting of the Northern Minnesota Development association at Crooks- ton June 1, 2 and 3, was issued by the executive committee of the association today. The apportion- ment of delegates from each of the 30 counties invited to attend the congress will be announced within a few days. Reapportionment planks in the platform of both the state demo- cratic and republican conventions which will meet in the Twin Cities a few days after the Crookston con- gress will probably be demanded by the representatives ‘of northern Minnesota at this meeting. The 30 counties are going to’get together for the developing of ‘the. northern BISHOP MCGOLRICK URGES AID IN GENSUS TAKING Duluth Churchman Asks Fr. 0’Dwyer to Request Cheerful Answers From Congregation. Bishop McGolrick of Duluth urges the members of the Catholic church to give accurate answers to the census enumerators and to aid the government in every possible way to secure a true report of the population, Father O’Dwyer of Bemidji received the following letter from Bishop McGolrick this morning: “The Bishop’s Residence, “Duluth, Minn, “Reverend and Dear Father: “The census of the United States is about to be taken, and we all wish that it may be as complete as pos- sible. “Will you kindly aid the enumer- ators by announcing to your congre- gation that full and accurate answers be given cheerfully; and every assis- tance be extended to those engaged in this work? “It will be well, also, to compare the census, when taken, with ~the names in your parish register, so that no mistakes be made. In this way you will contribute much to make this census of 1910 entirely accurate, “Yours sincerely, part of the state and candidates for the state legislature from this sec- tion will undoubtedly have to pledge themselves to reapportionment. The meeting -will be coammenced with a smoker on Wednesday even- ing, June 1, when the delegates will be the guests of the Polk County’ Development associa- ion. Thursday and Fiday will be devoted exclusively to business:and, as one member of the association said, ‘Business does not mean poli- tics, either.” Politics are to be * kept entirely out of this convention. No man who is known at this - time to bea candidate for any public office, or who is thought to bave intentions of running for any office, will be asked to address the congress at Crook- ston. Demands will be made for pledges of good legislation in the interest of the north half of the state from legislative candidates, but the convention will not be used to further the political ambitions of any one man or group of men. W. R. Mackenzie of Bemidji, sec- retary of the association, who an- nounced the call of the executive committee this morning, said in speaking of the June congress, “The Bemidji meeting was without doubt the greatest convention held in our state, yet it lacked the full effect of crystalization. “The Crookston meeting will have the benefit of what was done at Be- midji, as our first convention has set the entire state talking of the northern country. Public opinion thus far has unqualifiedly endorsed reapportionment, and the great con- servation congress at St. Paul unan- animously approved the resolutions passed at Bemidji.” The executive committee, com- posed of President Maxfieid of Wadena, Secretary Mackenzie of Bemidji, T. R. Johnstone of Crookston, F.~ A. Patrick of Duluth and M. N. Koll of Cass Lake, is'making great preparations for the congress at Crookston and will have their progam ready in a few days. High School Orchestra ‘““Hop.” Young society of Bemidii collected last evening at the National Guard Armory, where the high school orchestra gave its first dance. High school students, teachers, and many invited friends among the ‘young| men and women of the city attended the “hop.” The armory was decorated with the national colors and all the embellishments which were: used at the recent annual military ball. The high school orchestra of seven pieces played splendid music, and the members were heartily congratu- lated on their first appearance in ‘public. “James McGolrick. “April 19, 1910.” Every citizen should aid the census meu as far as possible. The larger the enumeration for Bemidji; the better will the city be “boosted.” If the enum- erator has passed your neighbor- hood and fails. to call on any family, you should call up the Pioneer office or that.of the enum- erators ‘and report at once, in order that no one may be over- looked. ANOTHER ARREST FOR DYNAMITING AT REDBY Sam Hayes Is Charged With Being an Accomplice of John Kling and Wife. Sam Hayes of Redby, charged with being an accessory in the dyn- amiting of D. W. Carter & Sons’ store at Redby last week, was brought in this morning by Deputy Sheriff John Morrison, Jr., of the Red Lake agency.
