GOOD AUDIENCES GREET SPEAKERS Men Who Are Addressing Meetings of | Bible Conference Find Capacity Congregations. ) OTTMAN CONTINUES LECTURES This Morning Traced the Genealogy of Christ Showing Right to the Throne of David. GAEBELEIN STARTS ON GENESIS In First of Series Points Out That Book is the Foundation of God’s Revelations. Speakers on the program of the Bemidji Bible conference are being greeted with capacity houses at each session. The attendance at the even- ing meeting yesterday was much larger than many of the backers of the conference had expected. Monday evening, Dr. Ford C. Ott- man, of Stamford, Conn., started his| series on “Imperialism and Christ."” Dr. Ottman on Sunday night outlined his course but made the real start last night. He brought out the fact that the entire universe centers around the life and teachings of Jes- us Christ and that Christ had been promised a kingdom which he had never received. This morning at 9:30, Dr. Ottman | continued his subject of “Imperiai- ism and Christ,” and was followed at 10:30 by Dr. A. C. Gaebelein. Dr. Gaebelein delivered his first address on “Genesis” and in the course of the week, expects to deliver six addresses on the book of “Genesis.” At 3 p. m., Dr. Ottman delivered his third lecture. At 8 o’clock tonight, Dr. Luccock will deliver his first address, taking the subject, “The Bible Philosophy of Pleasure.” Dr. Luccock is pastor of the Oak Park church in Chicago and is well known to visitors of t con- ference as he has attended many meetings here before. He was sched- uled to make an address Sunday but failed to reach the city in time. At the Tuesday morning mesting, Dr. Ottman spoke on the genealogy of Jesus Christ proving from scrip- ture that he was the rightful heir to the throne of David. He said that Christ was the son of David of Abra- ham, of man and of God. Dr. Ott- man pointed out that immediately after the sermon on the mount, twelve signs, or miracles were given, not in their chronological order but rather in their order of importance. Dr. Gaebelein, in his morning ad- dress, regarded the book of “Genesis" as the foundation book of God's reve- lation. He said that the assaults of | the critics on Genesis and the Pen- tateuch had their rise in sinful na- tures’ hostility to God and his plan of redemption. “Paine and Voltaire, of over a century ago, said the same things about Genesis being a group of legends and myths as are being said today by a class of so-called pop- ular ministers.” The program for the remainder of the conference follows: Tuesday, July 23. ‘ 8 p. m.—"The Bible Philosophy of Pleasure,” Dr. Luccock.

Minneapolis, July 22.—Nearly 10, 000 new grain cars are being built by the roads having headquarters and large terminals in the Twin Cities. The cars are being rushed to the grain producing points in order that there may be no dearth of rolling stock when the grain begins to move. All roads are preparing for a heavy grain traffic. According to officials it is expected that every one of the new cars will have been distributed throughout the Northwest by Sept. 1. Sam G. Lutz traffic manager of the Minneapolis & St. Louis road, said there was every reason to believe that the crop would be taken care of better than ever be- fore. Not only are the railroads getting box cars ready, but there is an aver- age of about twenty-five new engines for every road. A large number of refrigerator cars to handle perishable goods are being built. All of this equipment is rushed from the shops as fast as it is completed. The Soo road has provided 1,000 standard box cars and the Minneapo- lis & St. Louis has provided a similar number.

MANY VALUATIONS MAY BE RAISED County Board of Equalization In- creases Bases of Assessment Close To a Half Million Dollars. HEARING SET FOR AUGUST 5 Complaints May Then Be Made and Applications for Reductions Will Be Considered. LUMBER COMPANIES ARE HIT Crookston and Bemidji Mills, E. A. Engler and Pole and Tie Men Given Large Advances. .. After raising assessed valuations of certain Lu_ _ss firms of Beltrami county from $768,868 to $1,193,655, the county board of equalization ad- journed last week to 9 a. m. August 5 -at-which time those who object o the raise in tneir vaiuations will be given a hearing. The increases were made mainly on the recommendation " ‘One of the largest increases was given the Crookston Lumber company when the valuation of its property in Bemidji was raised from $248,800 to $523,250. ..As the assessed valua- tions are supposed to be fifty per cent of the actual value, it would appear that the Crookston Lumber company has over $1,000,000 invested in plant, raw and finished material in Bemidji. Out side of the city of Bemidji, the increases in nearly every case are with firms or individuals engaged in some branch of the lumber business. The assessments of the National Pole and Tie company were more than doubled, as were also those of the Clark Pole and Tie company in some instances. The E. A. Engler Lumber company, at Baudette, came in for an increase of $20,000; the Bemidji Lumber company for $10,000; the Partridge Dyer Lumber company for $5,000; and the St. Croix Pine and Cedar company for $5,000. In the city of Bemidji, Gill Broth- ers were given a raise of $8,000; the Berman Emporium and C. O. D. store of $7,500; the Schneider Brothers of $5,800; F. G. Troppman, O’'Leary and Bowser, $5,000 each; W. G. Schroed- er $3,000; and Geo. T. Baker and company and E. A. Barker, $2,100 each. The assessments of the Crookston Lumber company in the town of Du- rand and of Robert Molliter in the town of Lakewood were cancelled as being double assessments. The coun- ty board of equalization is composed of the county commissioners and the county auditor. All were present at the meeting last week except Com- missioner Clementson of the second district. A full report of the proceedings of the board, together with a list of the increase in assessments, will be found on page 4 of thi: International Meeting.
