The baseball enthuiasts of Be- midji have secured a lease for the coming summer upon block H. between Second and Third streets and between America and Irvine avenues and a first class baseball park will be perfected as soon as the weather permits. As stated in the Pioneer some time ago, a stock company will be organized for the purpose of financing the team and baseball in Bemidji next season will be strictly a business proposition. A fence around the block leased will be built as soon as the snow disappears from the ground and agrandstand large enough to accommodate 1,000 people will be erected. Those who are promoting the baseball proposition have already corresponded with a number of players who will be secured for the coming season and it is claimed that next summer’s ag- gregation will be the best in northern Minnesota.

OF ELECTIONS Belated Returns Arriving| ITASCA :Koochiching People Contend | That Their Petition Has Right of Way. UNDER NEW CODE. C. W. Stanton. of Kooehiching Petition Will Attempt to Pick Flaws in Others. ! St. Paul, March 15.—With Gov- ernor Johnson alone rests the decision as to which petition for the division of Itasca county shall be submitted to the resi- dents of that county at the next general election. It has been discovered that the new code does away with the commission composed of the governor, state auditor and secretary of state,] which under the old law was decide which petitions should be voted upon and when and where. The new law sumply states that the secretary of state shall file ‘the petition and notify the gov- ernor, who shall in due time cause a proclamation to be issued notifying the people of the county concerned of the petition. C. W. Stanton, of International Falls, who arriyved at the' capital this morning, went straight to the attorney general’s depart- ment and spent most of the day preparing his case, which will be | submitted to Governor Johnson tomorrow morning. Governor | Johnson may call in. the state auditor and secretary of state in an advisory way but under the new code he does not have to and the decision rests with him alone. ‘ Mr. Stanton 1epresents thei signers of the first petition, which asksthat Itasca county be difided into two counties, one fo be known as Koochiching with the county seat at International Falls. Three other petitions have been filed 'divisions. ' Under the new code |but one petition can he sub- DIVISION! mitted to the people and the Stanton will contend that his petition was the only ‘one ap- proved up to March 1, when the | code went into effect and that the others have not yet been ap- proved. It will be contended that the petition known as the Deer River division is defective because it calls for the formation of three new counties in one petition, The Northome petition will be attacked on the ground that it has not the requsite num- ber of signers, which is 643. In checking up the signers, Mr. Stanton stated that he discovered ! duplications and that several who signed his - petition signed the Northome one also. The Forest county division will be attacked Ion the grounds that the petition ifails to properly mname the boundaries. 3 It is likely that the new code will govern the action in respect to the several petitions. Each petition will be presented by a special representative from Itasca county and it is expected all day will be taken up with the different arguments. Mr. Stanton states that if the proposition is once submitted to the voters of his county the division will go through. At present those living in International Falls have to travel 700 miles to reach the county seat at Grand Rapids. They have to travel through two provinces of Canada (Ontario and Manitoba) to get there and mileage is so important litigation is precluded. Mr. Stanton states that the division he stands for will give Itasca county a population of 8,000 with a valuation of $8,000,- 000 and Koockiching county a podulation of 4,000 with a valua- tion of $4,000,000. International Falls, he states, is the center of {the 4,000 population and for obvious reasons will always eon- tion of the new division.
