J. Price of Fargo, who has been the chief promoter of the proposition, is quite emphatic in declaring that East Grand Forks is to blame for the failure of the league to materialize. “It will be remembered that when the preliminary meeting of the proposed league was held| in Grand Forks several weeks ago it was suggested that as Grand Forks was emphatically opposed to Sunday ball playing, grounds might be secured in East Grand Forks and the two cities unite in undertaking the support of a team with Sunday| ball as a feature. Then some of| the residents of this city had something to say about Sunday | ball. A petition was presented to Mayor O'Leary and the city council, protecting against Sun-| day ball being allowed. Mayor O’Leary announced very posi- tively that the law would be en- forced and the league proposition thereupon ceased to interest the local promoters, because Eist Grand Forks did not relish being inflicted with Sunday playing which had been banished from Grand Forks. There Are Other Cold Spots. A. A. Goodrich, the local rep- resentative for the Carpenter- Lamb Lumber company, re- turned last night from Minne- apolis, where he has been for several days on a visit to his family and also looking after some business matters at the general offices-of the Carpenter- Lamb people, in the “Mill City.” Mr. Goodrich bids his friends cheer up, as this is not the only part of the commonwealth where there has been cold and disagree- able weather. According to Mr. Goodrich, there was ten inches of snow that fell in the twin cities and Milwaukee last Sun- day. Trepanier, and they w'll spend most of the present summer at| their new homes when they are completed. ciated by the residents of Grand erty on Lake Bemidji. J. P. Duncalf Sells “‘ilarry H.” J. P.

Boston, May 4,—Certain stock- holders of the Northeen Pacific Railway company will, it is‘und- erstood, bring a friendly suit against the officers of the- com- pany for an injunction to restrain them from _accepting for the company the two-cent fare law in Minnesota. As they could not bring legal action.against the seovereign state, their only alter- native was to bring legal action against the officials of the com- vany. The latter are compelled, unless restrained by the courts, to comply with the provisions of thelaw. Those who are. familar with this proposed legal action attach greatimportance to it, as if the injunction is granted, it - wilkserve as a stay to the en- forcement of the law, as far as the Northern Pacificis concerned, for perhaps two years, The Great Northern company doubtless will become a party to the proposed suit of the Northern Pacific stockholders.
