New York, May 25.—Nearly $1,- The machines are being built by |000,000 was contributed to the cause the Ledgerwood company in Brook- Iyn, N. Y., and will be delivered in Bemidji ahout the first of next Oc- tober. At the present time, the Crookston company is logging from September to April, but with the new machines in commission, the com- pany will have men in the woods both summer and winter. Under the system with which tim- ber is cui at present, four logging roads have to be built to each forty acres. The logs are skidded out with horses and many times it is neces- sury to cut or small young timber in| of education by the general edu- cational board, founded by John D. Rockefeller, at a meeting here yes- terday. Of this sum $700,000 was appropriated for distribution among five colleges, the largest contribution of $250,000 going to the George Pea- body college for teachers of Nash- ville, Tenn., for the establishment of & Seamen A. Knapp school of country life. ~ Other colleges awarded appro- priations are Beloit college, Beloit, Wis., $100,000; Coe college, Cedari Rapids, Ta, $100,000; Macalester col- lege, St. Paul, Minn.,, $50,000; Uni- getting ont the logs. |versity of Rochester, Rochester, N. With the steam skidders, it wiil be necessary to build but one logging road to a forty. A central road is built on which the skidder operates. Trom the steam skidder, steel cables| are run out each side for 1,000 feet. These cables are fitted with pnlleys so that a chain can be fastened around several logs and the bundle lifted in the air. A movable cable pulls the block over the stationary cable to the engine on the main road. The steam skidder will handle logs faster than horses and materially| lessens the amount of small timber | that will be killed. The steel cables running out from the skidder for 1,000 feet on each side will enable the crew to handle the logs from strips 2,000 wide with the building of but one road. The cables are in a straight line and fast- ened to a large tree. With the cables Lhe skidder is able to take out tops and other small stuff that is often wasted when horse power is used.

PASTOR C. W: FOLEY. Scripture—Matt. 6:1-18; Acts 2: 1-11. - Hypocrigy- and" Sincerity. Let'it be noted first of all that these words weres oken to the chil- dren of God. Righteous acts, pray- er, etc., are not privileges of those who are not children of God—Rom. 8:8 with Rom. 10:12-15 and 1 John 3:1, 2. The lesson taught in Matt. 6:1-18, is that of warning against ostentation, coveting admiration. Time has wrought no change in humanity, save to develop the spir- it, therefore the lesson is as timely as ever. Nothing requires such con- stant vigilance as the keeping of self in the background, and yet nothing is more important, since the presence of self completely annuls offered ser- vice. Read such as—Luke 14:11; Acts 20:17-21; 1 CoR. 16:9, 16; 1 Peter 5:5, 6; Romans the 12th chapter. Tpe first verse of Matthew 6th chapter contains the principle, and generalizes; therefore the word righteousness, or righteous acts is better than the word alms. Now that the principle has been laid down in this general way, we have specific applications made in a.three- fold way. The three things spoken of as righteous acts are alms giving, pray- er, and fasting. All these are right engagements, but profit nothing when engaged in for self-aggrandize- ment., Such, have indeed, the ad- miration of men, but what an un- satisfactory reward that will prove to be at last. It is emphasized how- ever, that that is the full extent of their reward. We get the full force of the pass- age when we lay strong emphasis on the word have—“they HAVE their reward.” Darby says, “Perhaps one might say ‘have got’ in the same sense.” In the testing time (1 Cor. 3:12-15) such works will not stand the fire, and the man shall suffer loss though he be not lost himself. There will' be -no reward then for him, he has had all he will ever get. How penurious the praise of man will ap- pear then. In this day of exploitation, for in- deed it is such we live in, we have here a gracious and most wholesome lesson. Good deeds have a column in every newspaper and magazine; prayers are said, or more often read in every assembly, regardless of at- titude toward the record which God hath given of His Son. Man’s pride is being pampered to- day so that the only wonder is that God does ‘ot hit it more crushing blows, send more ships to the bot- tom of the sea. These are days of impatience, men want to realize at once from their investment. Better to be patient unto the coming of the Lord—James 5:7, 8. The Gift of the Holy Spirit. This Pentecost- lesson from Acts 2:1-11'i8 of great importance. Jesus said in John 14:16, “I will pray the Father, and He shall give you an- other Comforter.” He comes to them now on the day of Pentecost. The appropriateness of the Holy Spirit’s coming at this time is not recognized, I believe, as is the appro- priateness of Jesus’ death at the Passover time, though it is equally so. Turn to the 23rd chapter of Le- viticus and read the accounts of 'both the paschai and Pentecostal festivals. Note that each required an offering to the Lord from the harvest field, but they have marked difference. At the Passover a sheaf was pre- sented; at Pentecost, two loaves of bread. The sheaf was brought with- out a sin’ offering, the two loaves ac- companied with one. The sheaf cut off typified Jesus who was cut oft just as He grew, as a vicarious of- fering. He was sinless, the sin of- fering itself was He.. The loaves which were offered on the 'day of Pentecost had leaven in them, whica stood for sin, and does everywhere These were typical of the 120 of- fered to God on the day of Pentecost. The loaves had leaven in them; the 120 had sin in them. A sin offer- ing must be offered ‘with the loaves; the 120 were sinners, and needed the mediating mercy of Jesus Christ. Tt is significant that these two occur together in Lev. 23rd chapter, singe the antitypes belong . together— Christ, the head, and the Church, the body—Col. 1:18; Eph. 1:22, 23. The resurrection of the Head oc- curred on the first rlay of the week 50 did the formation of the Body. In the light of this read the first verse literally—“And when: the day of Pentecost was being fulfilled.” Tt is plain now that there i8 but one Pentecost, and tliat s in the past. 1t is very canluaing then to refer to BASEBALL TOMORROW. The Bemidji city team will play a game of baseball with a team from Bagley tomorrow afternoon at the fair grounds. The Bagley team will arrive on the noon train. Bagley is said to have & good team this year and a close contest is looked for. The line-up of the Bemidji team will be the same as the one announced for last Sunday. Bagley wos scheduled for a game last Sunday but the con- test was postponed for a week be- cause of the rain. L Cornell Easy Winner, Boston, May 25.—Holding always the ‘master position the.

New Streets Being Cut. Carl L. Heftron, owner of the prop- erty from Fourth street to Four- teenth street west of the residence section of the city, has a force of men busy clearing a portion of this land and cutting out streets. In the near tuture he contemplates putting it on the market for. building lots. It has been the general impression that the property is low and swampy. This may be true of a small stretch be- tween the- tracks and Fifth street, but on to the grounds beyond Fifth street the land is high and dry and the ditches recently constructed have drained this property so that it is apparently suitable for buflding pur- Doses. There is a continual flow of water in this ditch, which is about four feet deep. From the old bank of Lake Irvine between Fourth and Fifth streets, the.land. begins to rise snd eontinues north to Fourteenth street, thus giving & good fall of water.
