Bemidji was given a good boost in the “Sportman’s Review” for July 9 in the article dealing with the shoot of the Rod and Gun club. The writer says that “The natural advantages of Bemidji.are .almost without number, and any and all who have been there are possessed with an unsatiable desire to return during the hot months to enjoy the endless retreats and shakedowns, the stately habitutes of the. wooded shores - furnish. The aromatic cedars, the pungent hemlock and spruce and the savory pine all lead one to nature’s secrets which tell of the woods, the flowers, the dawn, the sunset, the birds,” which when once understood, make man a part and parcel of the good and the free and the best unit of the grand “com- posite whole.” The Review also publishes the official scores for the two days. Elsewhere in this issue is a news article on the conditions existing be- tween the farmers around the city and the local merchants, from the farmers viewpoint. The facts show the farmers will not spend their money here because we will not ' pay. cash for their produce, so they are combining to erect their own ware- house. We are asking for the . farmer’s trade and . we are .scoring them for not spending their money with Be- midji merchants. ‘The question is, have we a right to .do this? Have we given them any encouragement? Have we shown them any considera- tion? Something must be done to meet these conditions and it should be done at once. We want their businessand it isup to us to do something to get it. It is hoped that any merchants who have any ideas_to advance regatding the proposition will come to the front and submit them for publication.

DAMAGE WILL BE HEAVY Carloads of Perishable Goods Are Standing on Sidings All Along the Line and This Will Be a Total Loss Unless Movement of Trains Is Re- sumed Shortly—Indications Point to a Long Drawn Out Struggle. Montreal, July 21.—With its more important passenger schedules fairly well maintained the pressing problem confronting the Grand Trunk railway lies in the continued and apparently complete paralysis of its freight traf- fle. This condition the striking con- ductors and trainmen declare to have been precisely their objective when, to the number of 5,000 or more, they left their various positions on the company’s system from Portland, Me., to Detroit and in New England Mon- day night. Carloads of perishable freight are standing on sidings far and near and unless it is possible to begin to turn the wheels soon the property loss will be large. Food supplies and crop transportation are vitally involved, it is stated. A generally expressed opinion at many important points on the Grand Trunk is that the strikers will be able ty continue the freight train sholdup two or three days longer at least. Conductors and yardmen in the em- ploy of the Wabash on the tracks that road leases from the Grand Trunk be- tween Niagara Falls, Ont., and Wind- son, Ont., opposite Detroit, have gone out and as a result the Wabash.is having considerable trouble in.moving its passenger trains over tnat division. No attempt is being made to touch the freight. NO EFFORT TO MOVE FREIGHT Strike Situation Unchanged at De- troit, Mich. Detroit, July 21,—The Grand Trunk strike developed no disorder or at- tempted disorder in Detroit and the employers and strikers seemed to set- tle down for a long drawn out strug- gle. No attempt is being made to move freight, but the passenger service con- tinues with very little interruption. “We are drilling crews now for our freight trains,” said A. B. Atwater, assistant to President Hays of the Grand Trunk. “That does not mean the nfen are not experienced, but we want them more familiar with the dif- ferent lines before they start out. We are going at this thing slowly, be- cause we anticipate there will be some trouble when we pull the freights out and if there is we are going to be ready for it.” “So far as we are concerned,” said J. E. Pate, local chairman of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, “the police are not needed in this strike. It is a serious matter with us and we realize our responsibilities. as American citizens.” STRIKEBREAKERS -POURING IN Reach New England From All Sec~ tions of the Country. Boston, July 21.—Strikebreakers from all parts of the country continue to pour into New England to take the Dlaces of the conductors and trainmen on the Grand Trunk and Central Ver- mont railroads, now out on- strike for higher wages. g The strikers are using their best ef- forts to dissuade the newcomers from accepting the proffered positions. In several instances they have been suc- cessful. An official of the Central Vermnnt road .has announced any of the' strik- ing employes may have their old posi- tions back at.an increased salary if they make application at- once, . SHIPPERS WILL STAND PAT Propose . to Resist All Advances of Freight Rates. Chicago, July 21.—The general com- mittee appointed by the shippers: of the country at the rate conference held: here iMay 17 last reconvered: in Chicago and the general committee refused by resolution to entertain a | suggested compromise between ship- pers and the railroads regarding the rate controversy.

Three towns and many mine buildings have been de: stroyed. ~At.Slocan the fires are:still raging fiercely. Three Forks was com- pletely wiped out and Candon s doomed. Furious fires are reported to have razed Jaffray and Baines Lake. At Kaglo the fire is traveling rapidly, and backfiring has been- done to stop the spread. At Moyie the fire is still causing anxiety, but at present the town is safe. The air around Nelson is dense with smoke and fires north of the city are still blazing furiously.

Ex-Premier Maura Placed «Under Heavy‘Police Guard. HIS LIFE 1S IN DANGER Open Threats ‘Made Against Former Spanish Premier Maura. Madrid, July 21.—As a result of the threats against his life made by Dep- uty Pablo Iglesias upon the floor of the Spanish parliament former Pre- mier Maura has been placed under a heavy guard by Premier Canalejas. A carriage full of policemen follows him when he drives out, a squad always keeps him in sight when he walks along the streets and his house is constantly under the eyes of uni- formed and plain clothes watchers. At the same time the government still shows that it is afraid to call Iglesias to account. ‘What makes the situation serious is that Iglesias’ opinions are evidently those of the masses of the people. Maura is undoubtedly the most hated man in Spain. = NEW FIGURE IN THE RIGDON CASE Existence of Two-Year-0d Child| Revealed.

PRISONER - COULD NOT WAIT Pleads Guilty Just as Jury Brings in Verdict of - Acquittal. Chicago, July 21.—Benjamin Bisno wateled the clock in Judge Barnes’ courtroom for an hour and a half, imagining every minute that the jury was getting nearer and nearer a ver- dict in his trial on a charge of sfeal- ing $1,600 worth of clothing. And then, just as the first juror made his appearance in the doorway, Bisno leaped to his feet and told the judge he was guilty. He was sentenced to five months in the Bridewell. . ‘When Bisno had' been led from the courtroom the verdict was opened, Just for curiosity, and it read: “Not guilty.” But is was too late tn help Bisno. Bisno's partner had turned state’s evi- dence against him at the trial.

EASTERN RAILROADS WILL SUSPEND RATES Agree to:Hold Up Proposed In- creases Until Nov, L ‘Washington, July 21.—Important ad- vances in freight rates recently made by the railways in Hastern classifica- tion territory will be suspended volun- tarily by the railroads until Nov. 1 next. This agreement was made by a committee representing the .carriers -and by Chairman Knapp of the inter- state commerce “commission, who sald: . “This will not delay Investigation and discussion as to the reasonable- ness of the proposed advances, but will obviate the necessity at this time for numerous supervision orders which otherwise would be made.” It is not unlikely that a-similar ar- rangement may be made between the commission and the carriers in the tory. Such an agreement, it is be- lieved, will be reached before the end of the present week. It is the purpose of the commission advances as early as possible in order that the matters at issue may be de- termined, if circumstances permit, prior to Nov. 1, ANOTHER CLUE SHATTERED Dr. Crippen Not on Board the Steamer Kroonland.
