EXPECT TO START ABOUT AUG. 21 Cards Sent Out Inviting Members to Join in Journey and Expects Many Acceptances. ABANDONS ITASCA PARK IDEA Tourists, However, Will Stop There on Way From Park Rapids, it is Thought. Bemidji's beauty appears to have won a new honor—the visit of 50 or 60 prominent St. Paul persons who are expected to come in several au- tomobiles. Willis Drummond, the St. Paul business man and automobile enthu- siast, who as a member of the St. Paul club has been agitating a tour to the Northern part of the state to start probably August 21, was so! much delighted to receive an invi-| tation to bring the party here that he at once wrote the Bemidji Com- mercial club as follows: Wants to Make This Terminus. “Dear Sir: “Your esteemed favor of 31st ult. is at hand. It is singular the idea of extending the automobile club run! to Bemidji never occurred to me, for Bemidji is one of my favorite resorts. | As a matter of fact, I think it would be better to make that the terminus of the trip and Itasea simply a side issue, because they will not be able to care for 50 or 60 people at the Park. “Wie could spend the night at Park Rapids, as now planned, run to the Park and put in part of the day there, reaching Bemidji say about 8 o'clock in the evening. If we did that, we would like to come back by the way of Lake George so as to| take in McMahon’s Camp at Mantrap before starting home. “Could you furnish us a pilot from the Park to Bemidji? Begins Real Work. “I have had the subject up with President Murray of our Club today and he will get out postal cards at once, inviting members to make the trip, which it is our desire to have about the 21st of August. I have had no backing in the undertaking until now and took it upon myself to plan the trip and arrange through my friends for the entertainment of the members. 1 had in mind a run from here to Long Prairie the first day, with lunch at St. Cloud; lunch the! second day at Wadena and supper! and an evening’s entertainment at Park Rapids. A letter from the Park, however, says it would simply be im- possible to house so many people over night and your communication came opportunely, for it suggests a better scheme. Sure of Crowd of Boosters. “I will appreciate anything you will do in the matter and assure you 1 will present it to the Automobile Club in the hope that we can bring about the outing. Even if we had only 6 or 8 cars, it would be the means of showing to the Club the beauties of your region. “I would appreciate it if you conld send me a map of the roads you use between the Park and Bemidji and Park Rapids and Bemidji, so that I may indicate in the guide sheet to be published about where we will have to go. “I think you are safe in counting on an enthusiastic lot, if we start at all, and I sincerely believe we will start. “Tell Frank Lycan that it will be up to him to have some prairie chick- ens and venison, even if out of sea- son.” The question of entertainment will be taken up by the Commercial aud Bemidji Automobile clubs as soon 2s definite word has been received from Mr. Drummond.

Burke, president of the North- ern Grocery, wholesale dealers in Be- midji, speaking of the sugar price raise, said this afternoon: “Because of the extremely dry con- ditions in the old country and in Cu- ba, the sugar industry has been much damaged.

TO PLAY WITH EXPRESSION Amateur Musicians Should the Exceptional Notes. k for | If those amateur musicians who lament, “Oh, if I could only play with expression,” would only cultivate the habit of looking a little closer for the marks of expression, their play- ing would be attended with better results.

LA FOLLETTE A MAN OF BUMPS Cranial Contusions Indicate Enough Qualities to Elect Him President. No matter what Semator La Fol- lette’s political platferm may e he could be elected tothe office of presi- dent of the United States on his “bumps.” Figuratively the Wiscon- sin progressive could slide inta the coveted place on his head. These conclusions have been reach- jed by Dr. T. J. Allen, president of the Aurora College, wha recently made a study of Senator La Follette’s cranial contusions. The jaw, says the edu- cator, with wide and prominent chin, gives jowl enough for a general. The eye shows power of concentration, he. Then the width of the head is eited as showing executive ability, the height of the head, moral develop- ment and a great bump that proves the owner possessor of ‘a generous quantity of self-esteem. Finally the bump specialist drops techyicalities, and talks polities, saying that La Follette is the only man who, against Wilson, could poll the progressive Republican vote.

ELEVATOR 100 YEARS OLD Today Marks Anniversary of Otis Patent, for High Blnldmg Boston, Mass., Auguxt 3.—One hundred years ago today there was born in the little town of Halifax, Vt., a man whose inventive genius ‘led the way for the erection of the skyscraping buildings that now dis- tinguish every American city, and in- cidentally added millions of dollars to the_value of the real estate. The man was Elisha G. Otis. His invention was the elevator, undoubt- edly one of the most important and| useful inventions of the nineteenth eentry. Without the facilities offered by the elevator for reaching any de- sired height the tall buildings of to- day, it is hardly necessary to state, would be wholly impractical, Otis began life as a farmer, but his inventive genius led him to turn his attention to-mechanical pursuits.

Viggo Peterson has received a slap on the wrist by Governor Eberhart as a result of his recent letter to that official in which he reiterated his de- sire to have certain affidavits filed with the Peterson charges returned to him. Here is the reply sent to Mr. Peter- son by the governor, who dictated and signed the document: The Governor’s Reply. July 31, 1911. Mr. Viggo Peterson, Chairman Board of County Commissioners, 3 Puposky, Minnesota. Dear Sir: In reply to yours of July 28th, I wish to state that there is ab- solutely no disposition on the part of this office to delay the investigation of the office of Sheriff Hazen of your county. As you have been informed, - this matter was referred to the saved|.. Aattorney General, who is the “constitutional -advisor of the - Governor in matters of this-kind, for an opinion as to the suffi- ciency of the complaint. The Attorney General has mot yet rendered his opinion and could not possibly do so if the files in the case were taken from his of- fice. I have today written the At- torney General that if the affi- davits in question is necessary in the investigation by the grand _ jury, that a copy should be made for our files and the original af- -fidavit returned. Your intimation in the letter that this affidavit has been held for the purpose of delaying the investigation of the sheriff’s of- fice is absolutely without any foundation and wholly uncalled for. Very truly yours, A. O. Eberhart, Governor. The Sentence That Hurt.
