NUMBER 125, BEMIDJI PLEASED WiTH INI)IAN FAIR Artistic An-ulgement Of Booths Is Cause Of Much Praise From Visitors Who Attended Show RED LAKE ROAD SERVICE IDEAL W. H. Gemmel Who Went Up In His| Car Pays Tribute To' Red Men-— ‘Says Dickens Is Live Wire” Two surprises, one for the red men and one for the white men were the features of Bemidji day at the Red Lake Indian Fair Friday. The white men from Bemidji were extremely surprised at the splendid display in every department shown at the fair and the red men were agreeably sur- prised at the fine turn out by the Be- midji citizens. The new fair grounds which was bullt during the last six weeks is a credit to the agency and to the county. It is the beginning of an an- nual feature of which this county can boast and which will furnish con- siderable advertising for this section of the state in the future. Booths Make Big Hit The arrangement of the booths in the exhibit hall delighted every fair v'sitor. The displays.were artistical- ly arranged and the booths were beautifully decorated, each depart- ment being kept separate. Along one side of the exhibit hall-were shown in seven booths work of the Indians, including beed work, mats, rugs, belts, robes, fancy work , saddles, moccasing, bread, cakes, cookies and a fine showing of household products. One of the departments was given over entirely to the exhibit of school work such as drawings, penmanship etc. which would be a credtt to amy school. Both Red Lake and Cross Lake had booths displaying various exhibits in a tasty and unique manner. Agricultural Show Along the opposite side of the hall was displayed, also in excellent shape one of the finest collection of grains, grasses, and vegetables ever seen in this section of the country. The corn was of the first rank ac- cording to the judges. These were not products grown on the school farm, but were brought in by the various Indian farmers residing on the agency. “This was our first show and the | veledge of addressing them. NEW COUNTY ROAI)S SOON|X Active Work wm Commence Next Week On State Highway—Will Cost - $40,000 — MIDDLETON PRESENTS PETITION|* DeYo, J. M. Christie and H. L. ¥ HEARING I.ASTED SIX MONTHS Twenty five miles of highway wili be built in the near future and will extend from Farley through Bemidji to_Hubbard County and will cost in the' neighborhood of $40,00. Eight bridges will also be con- structed. One will be built over the the outlet of Lake Bemidji .andone 10 miles further down the Missis- sippi.. The building of this highway will be a great aid in developing the county as it connects the southern half of the county to the North end. The Commissioners were petition- which would connect Clementson with Roseau County - running through Warroad which is a dis- tance of 37 miles and will cost about $59,000. This amount includes the building of two steel bridges and four small bridges. The matter will be voted upon at the regular meet- ing of the board which will be held November 4, providing it is approv- ed by the state highway commission. C. R. Middleton, an attorney of Baudette, Minnesota, presented the petition and stated that the public Is heartily in favor of the proposi- tion. _ was as much enjoyed by him as was his presence is also evident. In speak- ing of the exhibits he said. “That man Dickens is surely a live wire. The exhibit displayed by the Indians is well worth going miles to see. Those boths were displayed in a very tasty manner and as a whole the fair is equal to many county fairs held in this state. The progress made by the Indians during the past two years is remarkable.” Pays Tribute To Bemidji “Bemidji always does things right,” sald Mr. Gemmel, “and I hold WP 118 WOFK 85w~ cauurfllé t0 BFain- |; erd people when ever I have the pri- You have a younger element here, who are awake and pull together for the good of the city and community.

Foot races, teepee raising contest, war dances and an Indian speech by chief “Big Bear” delighted the visi- Indians did not fully realize what was wanted.” said superintendent Dickins. “Next year we will give you an exhibition far sperior to this one.” Bemidji Makes Hit The very select crowd represent- ing Bemidji made a hit with Mr. Dickens and the red men both as to quantity and quality. “If you people of Bemidji knew how much we ap- preciate such a turn out, you would come more often,” said Mr. Mr. Dick- ens, “this is certainly fine of you people. I notice that you have the pick of the town up here and it goes to show that when Bemidji under- takes anything you can look for the best.” The Bemidji delegation left the Red Lake station at 8:15 and ar- rived at Redby on schedule time. Every accomodation was extended the road, general manager Molander being one of the party. Oarriages And Boat Service ‘When the train arrived at Redby the big government boat had net ar- rived, owing to a breakdown while out on the lake. Some of the party were somewhat dissappointed in the service, but in a short time more carriages arrived on the scene and every body succeeded in reaching the fair grounds in time for the after- noon program. The big lake was rough and those who took boats found some difficul- ty in being transported from the dock to the waiting launches sever- al blocks from shore. tors. John Morrison a Red Lake Mer- chant was principle judge and of- ficial announcer. Side Lights On Fair Two hundred tents and teepees dotted the fair grounds, which were visited by many Bemidji people. Popusky and Nebish sent good de- legations to the. Indian Fair. The Bemidji band got out at each place along the line and rendered a spirit- ed selection. One of the yauls which was used in conveying people out to the big boats filled with water and as a re- sult several young men and woman got their feet wet. Ike Bloosten and Tom Hughes were special guests at the Spears 'hotel having for their dinner a fine roast duck. “Leave it to Xke," says Tom. It has been reported that one of the band boys fell in love with a pretty Indian maiden, but neither the boy or maidenr will give the de- tails. Messers Kaiser of Bagley, Murphy George and Schumaker of Bemidji ‘were shown special favors by receiv- ing a “Nack-a-Sack-us” handout. SCOO The need of a channel, which pro- position the government is now in- vestigating has been made evident to those who attempted 'to go to Red Lake by boat. Uncle Sam has appro- priated $5,000 for investigation pur- poses and Friday’s demonstration has won many who will now favor and support this much needed legis- lation. Gemmel's Visit Appreciated W.

VILLAGE IS MOVED BY RAIL Natives of Panama Migrate to New Townsite. ‘Washington, Sept. 20.—Details of how the denizens of the jungles and; the inhabitants of the small towns in the interfor of the Isthmus of Panama were driven out of their homes by the rising waters in Gatun lake, as the canal approached completion, were told in a dispatch received here. During the last eighteen months 70 per cent of the population has been moved out of the area to be flooded. Some went entirely out of the lake watershed upon being notified; others had to be taken out when the rising ‘waters were almost at their doon ; many disappeared in higher leveis with the trackless silence of wood creatures, and others moved in bodies, forming new settlements and preserv- ing the communal life of the old vil- lages. In one case 360 people were collect- ed and moved by rail and water a dis- tance of sixty miles and set down upon a townsite arranged for them.

DIAZ NOT TO THEIR LIKING Outlook in Mexico Not Encouraging to. Washington. . thhgton, Sept. 20.—News that General Felix Diaz, nephew of Gen- eral Porfirio Diaz, had been recalled to Mexico to become the candidate of the Huerta faction in the coming presidential election, aroused much interest here in official circles. The general feeling was that the re- turn ‘of Diaz made a compliance with | Prestdent Wilson’s principal demand, that General Huerta should not be a candidate. - So far as auguring an era of peace, however, the outlook was de- scribed as discouraging. _While the American government is on record with a promise to extend Tecognition to the government set up by a legal and free election, it is said 20, 1013, ~ FIRST BATIL Senators chnllmed‘ By Defense Seated—Decision Is Un- animous WAS FIRST FIGHT IN HIGH COURT Attorneys For Opposing Forces In Legal Battle Which Lasts For Hours Albany, N.

Although Presiding Judge Cullen had the right to ‘decide the question of the qualifications of the senators for holding their seats he did not take advantage of this prerogative. He first expressed his opinion that the objections were not well ground- ed and then permiited the - entire court to vote on the-issue. In addressing the court Judge Cul- len said that no court had the right to sit in judgment on any one of its members. In this, he said, a court differed greatly from a jury, the quali- fications of members of which mlght be decided by the courts, The vote came after a morning of legal argument between Judges Her- rick and Parker, representing the de fense and prosecution respectively.
