THINK ITASCA WILL BE SPLIT Prominent International FallsCit- izens Predict Vietory for County Division. ARE OUT ELECTIONEERING FOR “KOOCHICHING™” PLAN Stanton, Slocum and McDonald See Great Future for Their Village. Messrs. C. W. Stanton, L. H. Slocum and R. S. McDonald, three of the representative hustling citizens of the much- talked-of border city of Interna- tional Falls; were here today en- route to Grand Rapids from Northome, in which latter town they spent Sunday. The trio are making a pre- liminary trip in the interests of the proposition to divide Itasca county and create a new county of Koochiching, which question has been submitted to the people by proclamation of the governor and will be acted upon at the November election. They admit no possibility of defeat, and aver'that even in the Northome country, alleged to be opposition territory, the situation is not in the least discouraging. Mr. Stanton says: “International Falls is certain- ly destined to soon become one of Northern Minnesota's most iwportaut points, and there is no reason why its ambition to be- come the county seat of a new county, great in area and wealth, should not be gratified, It will soon be connected with Bemidji by the M. & I. railway, and we look forward with contidence and pieasure to the enj)yment of the most cordial relations, both social and commercial, citizens of the two places.” 01d “Vets.”” Return.

EddieCarl,late with Flandreau, pitched for White Earth. He “fanned” nine, and nine hits were secured off him. The play- ers back of him made five errors, Louis Roy made a two-bagger, which brought in a run ahead of him, and two fast double plays were made by Bemidji. Hoover made a sensational stop of a grounder after a hard run and made a beautiful assist to first {base. Bowman, for the Indians, {a'so made a tine one handed stoy. Louis Roy, catcher for Bemidji, | was hit on the little finger of his i right hand, in the seventh inning, and was forced to retire from the game, Finn heing brought in from the right field to tinish the contest. There was an intermission of | fifteen minutes before the second game. Grady, pitcher for Cass Lake, was put on the firing line for White Earth and Phelps and Van Wirt, also of Cass Lake, were in the zame for the Indians. : Grady pitched a fair game. He had four strike-outs, three bases on balls, hit twn, and gave five hits; and White Earth made three errors behind him. Farley LeGore pitched for Be- midji and Summers went from the pitcher’s slab in the first game behind the bat and caught the second game. LeGore struck out four and allowed but t ¥o hits.
