SPECIAL TRAIN WAS HERE OVER SUNDAY Loaded with Stock and Machinery, Agricultural Extra Pulled In Late Saturday. MANY VISITORS THIS MORNING Large Crowd of City and Country Folks Viewed Exhibits and Heard the Lectures. BLOODED ANIMALS SHOWN Horses, Cows, Sheep and Swine Were Brought to Show Fact that Good Breeding Pays. With three cars filled with exhib- its, one with supplies, two cars for indoor lectures and three for attend- ants, the agricultural special of the Northern Pacific and M. and L pulled | into Bemidji late Saturday evening and remained until noon today. The train was closed to the public on Sun- day but was opened at 9 a. m. this morning. Until the last minute before the train was hauled out of the yards, the cars were thronged with farmers and city people viewing the exhibits and listening to the explaining lectures. The livestock attracted the most at- tention, all present listening with in- terest while the good qualities of the animals were pointed out. Most of the stock was from the state experi- mental farm, at St. Anthony Park, one mare having been brought from the experimental station at Crook- ston. Over the horse stalls was a sign asking the farmers why they should not make their mares pay for their keep by raising a colt each year. It also stated that it was just as easy to raise good stoek as grade. Attention was called to the cows in the same manner and the key note of the lec- tures seemed to be “Better Stock.” Not a little attention was given the poultry car in which were carried some good breeding stock and a pen of week old White Leghorn chicks. The car also showed samples of dif- ferent kinds of trap nests, brooders and model hen houses. In one cor- ner were a group of pictures showing good stock and calling attention to the points to be noticed in picking breeders. In the chicken car were also a few exhibits of Minnesota crops and it was remarked by many that Beltrami and St. Louis counties were the only ones represented by potatoes. A hand- ful of Carmen potatoes was shown from the W. A. Mackenzie farm. The third car was filled with types of modern machinery and was in charge of a demonstrator who ex- plained how the machinery was used and in what different ways it saved money to the farmer. FEach of the cars was filled while the train laid in the yards and many were heard to re- mark that they hoped the next time the train came through, it would spend at least a day in Bemidji. The men in charge of the train carried many guests with them when going north. Professor Otto I. Bergh plans to stay with the special until it reaches International Falls, but the majority of the others will leave it at Blackduck and return to Bemidji this evening. Among those who made the trip are F. S. Lycan, Professor Dyer, George Kreatz, H. J. Maxfield, and W. R. Mackenzie. Yesterday morning, the men with the special were entertained by mem- bers of the Commercial club with an auto trip into the country adjacent to the city. From Bemidji, the special went to Turtle River where it spent two hours; to Tenstrike, where it stayed two hours and a half; and to Black- duck, arriving at Blackduck at 5:30. 1t will lay over in Blackduck tonight and leave for Kelliher tomorrow noon. From Kelliher it will return to Funkley and run up the other line to Northome for Tuesday night. Another Allen Convicted.

BALL GAMES NEARLY EVEN First One Results in 12 to 12 Score, But Second Ended By Rain and Called Tie By Umpire, SEEK PLEASURE ON THE LAKE Passenger Boats Did Big Business and Diamond Point Was Used By Picnic Parties. Three hundred persons came to Bemidji from Thief River Falls and Soo line towns yesterday to attend the two baseball games between the U. C. T.s and city teams of Bemidji and Thief River Falls, The special arrived in the city at 11 a. m. and the visitors at once scattered to vari- ous points of interest, a large num- ber going to the lake and several tak- ing picnic lunches to Diamond Point. The feature of the day was the double header called for 2 p. m. at the fair grounds. Threatening weath- er in the morning and rain at 2 oclock failed to put a damper on the enthusiasm of the crowd and as soon as Jupiter Pluvius turned off the water, over 600 people filed into the grandstand at the fair grounds. The band was on the job all afternoon. Thief River and Bemidji U. C. T.s started the entertainment by playing a game of five innings. Bemidji had a safe lead for three innings but Thief River was able to score seven runs in the fourth. Bemidji came back with four in the fifth and the game was finished a tie, twelve to twelve. Harry Koors started as catcher for Bemidji but split a finger in the first and Frank Koors substituted for him, Dell Burgess caught the third and remaining innings. During the ex- citement of a small disputé one man tagged the umpire and insisted he ‘was out. The box score for the first game is as follows: 123456789 R. H. E. Thief River 32070 12 9 10 Bemidji 31314 12 10 14 Batteries: Thief River Falls, Hess and Miller; Bemidji, Fields and Bur- gess. 3 Rain interrupted the game be- tween the city teams and there was some slight dispute over the final score. The game stood 3 to 2 in fav- or of Thief River Falls when the rain started, but Bemidji was at bat and had a man on second and one on third with no outs. The Thief River play- ers left the field and Umpire Miller, of Thief River, said that unless they returned in fifteen minutes, he would declare the game 9 to 0 for Bemidji. The players neither left the grounds nor returned to the field so he called the game a 3 to 3 tie. “The box score of the second game follows: 123456789 R. H. E. Thief River 3000000 3 3 ¢ Bemidji . 101000 2 4 5 Batteries: Thief River Falls, Ken- nedy and Kallock; Bemidji, Smiley and Schetta. The special did not leave for the return trip until nearly nine p. m. and the visitors spent the evening taking in local amusement and in rides on the lake. New Bandette Hotel.
