There are 31 boys and girls who have taken care of gardens and who will be eligible for the awards, and they all are busy getting their gar- dens in the best of shape for the Fri- day test. Three things will be considered in awarding the prizes: Freeness from weeds. Thoroughness of tillage. General excellency of the garden plants. In addition to the three main prizes, which will be articles of real value, there will be a number of less costly awards for the best specimens of each individual plant. There is to be no program but Professor Otto Bergh, agricultural inspector, extends a special invita- tion to the public to be present and see just what has been done in the way of raising garden stuff by the pupils. LAURIER BEGINS HIS FIGHT Makes First Address in Behalf of Re- ciprocity at Simcoe, Omaha. Ottawa, Ont., Aug. 15.—With con- fidence that the result will be favor- able to the cause for which Liberal- ism stands in the present contest, Sir ‘Wilfrid Laurier journeyed to Simcoe today to deliver his first platform ad- |dress in what promises to be the hot- test political fight Canada has seen since the days of Sir John Macdonald and the National Policy. From now ’amil the date of the election every fpolitician, from the Prime Minister of the Dominion to the humble can- asser, will continue actively at work. Political conventions and campaign meetings will be held in every part of the country, and reciprocity with the United States will be the staple subject of discussion. Sir Wilfrid Laurier plans to cover the eastern Provinces thoroughly. He will spend the coming week in the Province of Quebec, to which he will devote par- ticular attention in an effort to stem the Nationalist movement, which is regarded as the most ominous ele- ment in that province. After leav- ing Montreal the Premier will spend a week in the Maritime Provinces and will then return for the windup of the campaign in Ontario. Togo to Visit Boston. Boston, Mass., Aug. 15.—Boston is in readiness to receive Admiral Togo, who reaches the city this evening to begin a visit that will continue until Friday afternoon, when he will de- part for Buffalo and Niagara Falls.

AUTOMOBILE CLUB TO MEET Important Session Called for To- night at Commercial Club Rooms, An official call has been issued for a special meeting of the Bemidji Au- tomobile club to be held at 7 o’clock this evening at the Commercial club rooms. At this meeting several bills will come up for consideration and business in connection with road building plans will be discussed. TWO MORE BUY LAND E. E- McDonald and Grain Man From Southern Minnesota Are Lat- est Purchasers. BOTH ENTHUSE OVER RICH SOIL Two more land sales were an- nounced today by the Crookston Lum- ber company, a 200 acre tract in the Town of Maple Ridge, going to At- torney E. E. McDonald and a quarter section being purchased by M. L. Swenson of Atwater, in the southern part of the state. Mr. McDonald has had a claim in| Maple Ridge, and has proven by ex- perience that the land in this county cannot be equalled and has shown this year by his own labors that it is only necessary to use proper meth- ods to obtain results from the rich lands in Beltrami county. “A talk with him,” said a Crook- ston company agent, “will convince| the most skeptical that one could not | do better than purchase a tract of land on the easy terms the Crook- ston Lumber Company are offering.” M. L. Swenson made his purchase on the twenty year terms. In a conversation with Mr. Swen- son yesterday just as he had returned from a trip to his land, he said he had been in the grain business for 20 years besides farming before that, and that he was taking home samples of wheat and oats from the Town of Alaska, that were better than any he had ever seen. What particularly impressed him was the number of good farms and farmers in the town of Alaska and Sandy River country. Mr. Swenson said that he found that nearly every tract not owned by Crookston Lumber Company was being farmed to advantage and could not be purchased for any such price or terms that the Crookston Lumber FISHER AND HUNTER FINED Bemidji Man after Pin-Tailed Grouse and Blackduck Net Holder Ar- rested by Bailey. PLEAD GUILTY AND PAY $10 Two arrests have been made dur- ing the past few days by Game War- den S. C. Bailey; one a violation of ‘the—fishifrg- Hwe-End=the -other a “soorer” in the hunting season. At Blackduck, Mr. Bailey caused the arrest of Byron Wentworth, who had not been satisfied with catching fish with a hook and line and began using a net, contrary to the fish laws. After a heart-to-heart talk with the warden, Wentworth plead- ed guilty to catching fish unlawfully with a net, and Justice Oberg fined the defendant fisherman $10 and costs, which was paid. Certain Bemidji nimrods became altogether too curious relative to some pin-tailed grouse which have teen discovered in this vicinity, and ftichard Harrison pleaded guilty to attempting to dine on a game din- uer, paying a fine of $10 and costs in municipal court before Judge Pen- dergast. There have, however, been but comparatively few violations of the law this summer, with the result that | same and fish are plentiful. EDITOR WINSHIP RETIRES TODAY Herald and Times Will Be Consoli- dated at Grand Forks. Grand Forks, N. D., Aug. 15.— George B. Winship, for over thirty years owner of the Grand Forks Her- ald and which he established as a weekly paper in pioneer days, today announces, through tke Herald, his retirement from the business. This announcement comes with an announcement of the consoli- dation of the Ilerald and Evening Times and the taking over of these two papers by a new corporation, the organization of which has not been completed, but which is backed by Grand Forks capitalists. Mr. Winship was an early pioneer of the west, being for many years en- gaged in freighting in northwestern Canada, afterwards operating a stage in the Red river valley in company with William Budge. Taft Speaks at Ocean Grove. Ocean Grove, N. J., Aug. 15.—Be- fore one of the largest crowds ever assembled at this resort President Taft delivered an address today un- der the auspices of the Ocean Grove Campmeeting Association. The Pres- ident was met at teh station by a committee of prominent citizens and escorted to the Auditorium, where he delivered his Aaddress.

AEROPLANE, NAYBE Several Persons Declare Aircraft Circled Over Bemidji About Midnight Last Night. FARM SEARCHLIGHT BLAMED Test Made By Dr. Blakeslee on ‘Wind- mill Possible Explanation for the Mystery. McGOEY SOLUTION INCORRECT {Theory That Grand Forks Aviater Was Here, Exploded By Fact Machine is Broken. Did you hear a tumpty-thump bing-bang noise in the sky about mid- night last night? ¢ If so, perhaps you heard an aero- plane toiling upward in the night. Several persons assert that at that hour last night a mysterious air craft | passed over Bemidji, but no one can be found who is willing to make an affidavit to the effect that it was real- 1y and truly an aeroplane. Thought it Was McGoey. It has been suggested that the strange visitor might have been Mc- Goey, the Grand Forks aviator, on a test trip, but inasmuch as Goey and his aeroplane mixed with a barn a few days ago, the birdman being slightly and the machine seriously injured, this deduction appears far from correct. The puzzling part of the air visi- tor was that a shaft of light would sweep the horizon as if it were an electrical searchlight. Probably Windmill Light. This leads to the suggestion that the light was the ownly real thing about the affair and that it came from the electrical outfit on the farm of Dr. F. A. Blakslee, two miles northwest of town. The doctor has an electrical plant of his own construction which he uses to illumine his farm. By way of an experiment he placed a search light on his windmill a few days, and has attracted much attention by these piercing rays, many persons having called him up to inquire re- garding the unusual light. Heard Rumble of Motor. Therefore, it is possible that this light is what started the aeroplane talk, although it is said by some that they heard the rumble of the motor, and that it avveared to be flying at an altitude of sbout 400. “You can hear anything if you drink enough,” was the comment of one skeptical man. “Somebody has been reading about the flights in Chi- cago.” Maybe it was only an apparition, and then again maybe it wasn’t and that it will be back tonight. Take a glance heavenward when you put out the cat tonight. AT WORK ON SWEDISH CHURCH More Than $1,500 to Be Expended to Put Edifice in Shape for Winter. ‘Workmen under the direction of Contractor Martin Galchutt are busy completing the Swedish Lutheran church, America and Sixth, the work requiring an expenditure of about $1,500. A new belfry and steeple is being built. An 8x12 addition for the aléar will also be put up and the main auditorium completed for use, services up to the present time having been held in the basement. The work is expected to be complet- ed within two months, the remodeled edifice being used for the services the coming winter. DESPERADO'S VICTIM IS DEAD Detective Fraser’s Assassin, Pal of McCarthy, to Be Held for Murder. St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 15.—Detec- tive Frank Fraser died yesterday of the wound inflicted by Desperado Pe- ter Juhl shortly after 5 P. M. Satur- day. Peter Juhl will not be returned to the state’s prison whence he es- caped from Stillwater in March, 1911, but will be held on the charge of murder. Juhl is the fourth mem- ber of the gang that operated in Min- neapolis in connection with the Cen- tral State bank robbery and was a “pal” of Jerry McCarthy recently shot dead in Minneapolis.
