MAY GET DULUTH
BALL TEAM
Project on Foot to Transfer
Northern League Team
to Bemidji.
DULUTH WOULD GET MILWAU-
KEE LEAGUE TEAM.
Claimed that Players in Latter
Team will Be Sold Oat
at Auction.
Bemidji may be in the North
ern league next year. There is a
project on foot to put Duluth in
the American league by trans
ferring the Milwaukee team,
which is liable to be sold off at
auction for lack of patronage, to
Duluthplayers, franchise and
all. If this is done the Duluth
Evening Herald asserts that the
Duluth Northern league fran
chise and players will be trans
ferred to Bemidji.
BemLiji is considered a good
base bail town and it is generally
believed that she can support a
league team as well or better
than some of the towns now in
the Northern circuit. The local
grounds are equal to any in the
state outside the Twin Cities.
Bemidji in the league would do
much toward advertising the city,
and it has been suggested that
the Commercial club give the
matter some attention.
The Herald stoutly maintains
that the scheme is not an idle
dream or an impossibility. Un
less the Milwaukee team receives
better support the players are to
be sold, to the highest bidder.
Duluth is base ball crazy, and, it
is claimed, draws bigger crowds
to its games than either St. Paul,
Minneapolis, Indianapolis, Kan
sas City or Toledo.
At the Presbyterian church
next Sunday the morning sub
ject will be, "Praying Amiss
evening, "Power."
German Lutheran services
will be leld next Sunday, July
19, at 2:-30 p. m. at the Norwegian
church, west of public schools,
by Rev. Emil Ulbricht
Regular services at the M. E.
church Sunday morning and
evening. -The morning sermon
will be on the subject, "The
Spirits Quickening." The even
ing service will be a prelude to
the encampment. The service
will be patriotic. Rev. U. A.
Foster, 1he pastor, never fails to
touch tlie spot when he talks on
patriotic themes. His subject
will be "AmericaHer Perils
and Her Opportunities.'' All the
citizens, and especially the veter
ans of the 60's are invited. There
will be special music, including a
song by the male quartet. Every
body come.
A Large Fish.
Francis Maurin of Elizabeth,
Minn., caught a muskallonge
near Diamond Point this morn
ing that weighed 17 pounds and
was 41 inches long. It was
caught with a small silk line, but
Mr. Maurin was general enough
to take it to shore where it was
easilv landed.
Chapel Social.
A chapel social will be held in
the new Congregational chapel in
Mill Park addition this evening.
The proceeds of the entertain
ment and social will go to the
building fund. A musical and
literary program will take up a

and other refreshments will be
served. An enjoyable time is

STRAWBERRIES
St. Paul Man Says They Could Be
Raised Here With
Profit.
"Strawberry farming on an
extensive scale near Bemidji
would be a paying proposition,"
said C. T. Anderson, of St. Paul,
today. I have just come from
Aitkin, where I had a talk with
C. H. Way, a strawberry farmer
of Spirit Lake. I believe berries
coaId be grown as well, or better,
about Bemidji than they can at
Spirit Lake, for the conditions
are ideal.
"Mr. Way is still comparatively
new at the business, but has one
third of an acre of plants, and
from these has marketed between
2,500 and 3,000 boxes of berries.
Some of the berries have beeu
verylarge3 and in some instances
ten of them filled a box. One
berry that has been preserved
for exhibition at the state fair
measures 104- inches in circum
ference, and from 5 to 8 inches is
very ordinary. Mr. Waj' says he
Can raise more strawberries to
the acre than he can potatoes.
If they can do that in Aitkin
county a man could do equally
wellhore.

Complete and excellent con
dition, will be sold at a very rea
sonable figure. Call on or address

MAKES A GOOD
SHOWING
Beltrami County Is a Leader
in the Agricultural
Line
VEGETABLES ARE A SURPRISE
TO AN IOWA MAX.
Says Bemidji Will Become Me
tropolis of Prosperous
Farming Region.
"The variety of vegetables
growing in Beltrami county and
the luxuriance of its grasses is
surprising',-' said I. D. Good, of
Iowa, this morning. Mr. Good
is looking over Beltrami county
lands with afview of^purchasing a
farm. "I have been over this
portion of the county pretty thor
oughly." he continued, "and
wherever there is farming or
gardening, oven on a small scale,
I find a remarkable growth of
vegetables. I believe, from what
I have observed, that any vegeta
ble known to Wisconsin and Min
nesota can be grown hero with
ease and profit. The timothy and
clover, wherever it has had a
chance to grow, is no loss re
markable.
"The scheme suggested by the
Pioneer a few days ago relative
to the sowing of grass seed over
the vacant lands by settlers of
the county is a good one, and the
result of such action on the part
of'farmers and others would be
beneficial to the country. It
would not only improve the
ap-prosperity
pearanceof the lands and increase
their value in the eyes of the pur
chaser, but the hay which could
be cut by the settlers would more
than repay them for the little
time spent in scattering the seed.
The money consideration would
be too small to be considered.
"Northern Minnesota is bound
to develop into a great country,
and this county will be among
the leaders. Bemidji will be
come the metropolis of the whole
section, and, being at the junc
tion of the two roads, will be the
distributing point for northern
Minnesota. As the county set
tles up, wholesale houses and
other business institutions,, will
be established here. This will
become necessary as the demand
for all classes of goods increases.
I also believe that it is a matter
of only a short time before the
talked of summer hotel is built
here.
"The increase in value of lands
in this section will be a repitition
of what occurred in Iowa, Illi
nois and all the older farming
states. Lands that could once
be purchased for $' an aero
there is now bringing- $12." and
$15i an acre, and in many sec
tions it is hard to get it at th it.
The prices of lands in Beltrami
county and in other fertile, parts
of northern Minnesota will stead
ily increase and a man who in
vests now, according to my judg
ment, is dead sure of good re
turns later on."
LOCK TH E DOOR.
Managers of the American Finance
and Mortgage Company Depart.
New York, July 17.Following the
procuring of an attachment for $14.-
000 last Saturday against the Ameri
can Finance and Mortgage company,
having offices at 112 Wall street, the
quarters of the company have heen
deserted, according to the Herald.
The attachment was issued to a
Brooklyn law firm on behalf of a
client. The concern had been investi
gated by postofflce inspectors, but all
persons to whom they applied for in
formation from the customers' stand
point, replied that they were satisfied
with the state of affairs. Thi8 was
some time ago. The former president
of a well known bank was advertised
as chief executive officer of the con
cern, and its operations in the stock
market on the blind pool system were
as various times reported as having
netted profits of 15 to 20 per cent for

Against Minnesota & In
ternational.
Christ Peterson of Hornet
township, according to the Black
duck American, is about to bring
a suit for $5 QQQ damages against
the Minnesota & International
Railway company. Henry Funk
ley will act as his attorney.
The action is the result of in
juries s-ustained h.wPeterson's
daughter while alighting from a
passenger train at Turtle on
May -7. An agent of tho Com
pany settled with the girl by giv
ing her 10 shortly after the ac
culent. The girl is under age,
however, and it is held that she
could not lawfully release the
railroad company from a damage
suit. It is claimed that the girl's
injuries were so serious that she
has been confined to her bed
much of the time since the acci
dent.
NEW BUILDING
Miss E. S. Callihan May Build One

Avenue.
Miss E. S. Callihan, the secre
tary of the Bemidji Townsite
company for the last five years,
and who has not seen Bemidji
since she rode into it on a lum
ber wagon from the steamboat
landing in 1898, is putting in a
few brief days in town. She is
much gratified at the growth and
of the place, and talk's
some of building a brick' block on
the corner opposite the post
office.

/^OTOTHE
IN A PROSPEROUS
CONDITION
The ^anks of the Northwest
Were Never More
Prosperous.
BUSINESS I ALL LINES IS VERY
SUCCESSFUL
Volume of Commercial Operations
Is Greater Than Ever
Before.
Bankers and leading business
men assert that there has never
i heen a time when the batiks of
the Northwest were more pros
I perous or their business more
solidly conducted than now, of
when the value of commercial
transactions was greater and
general business operations car
ried on in a more conservative
and successful manner. A St.
Paul paper says that St. Paul
bank's have never lent more
money or made more prompt col
lections than this year. They
have never witnessed a time
when the ordinary commeucial
paper was better security.
C. A. Bubbard, one of the best
known bankers of the state and
interested in the bake City bank
said: "The Northwest is pros
perous, and financial conditions
are good. The uneasiness of the
east and especially of New York
does not extend to this section.
We are able to paddle our own.
canoe and have the money to do
it. My opinion is that is the east
would contine itself to solid busi
ness and curl) its speculative ten
dencies, it would find itself in
better shape. There has. been
too much speculation there."
The president of another lend
ing St. Paul bariksaid: "I would
iy in a word that the conditions
are normal and satisfactory."
President H. P. Ophaui, of the
First National bank,, expresses
much tho same general views.
