These games are on the regular formed for its contests to determine the championship of northern Min- nesota. It is expected that both as Bemidji has shown that it has some remarkably fast players and the Crookston team is possibly the fastest five in the city. Last year Bemidji won two games from a Crookston team, in one of which it left the visitors without a score. 2 Floyd Brown!s inability to take on” account of the Christmas rush, is tobe regretted asthe work of the team will be decidedly weak- ened without their usual center and captain, The locals have strong hopes of taking both of the coming games and to that end will put their best available line-up in the field as fol- lows: “Big Bemidg”—H. Geil and T. Markham, forwards; L. Heffron, center; W. Collins and G. Peterson, guards; F. Brown, substitute. Crookston Team—Wattam and Lommen, foiwards; Carlson, center; McLaughlin and Beaudin, guards; Moulton, substitute; Edson Jerome, manager. Phone your order to the Green- house for X-mas flowers. J. W.

PRICE OF PULPWOOD REAGHES VERY LOW EBB There Is But Small Demand, and Price May Decline Below Present * Schedule. Dan Rose of Northome, the gen- eral north-country representative for Watab Paper & Pulp company, passed through the city last evening, returning to his home from a busi- ness trip to the offices of his com- pany at Watab. He was accom- panied by Loius Biehl of Northome, who is a cruiser employed in the north country by the Watab people. Mr. Rose states that the price of pulp wood has fallen to $4.75 per single cord, and that it will un- doubtedly reach $4.50 per cord, the latter figure being the price which he will offer from the present time for the balance of the winter, so far as he is at present informed. A year ago, pulp wood was bringing $11, $12 and even as high as $13 per single cord, and the north-country wdodsmen were ex- pecting a larger price. The price remained high until last spring, and there was a stendy demand for the output. Itis very dlfl‘etent this season. The pulpwood ‘companies report that they have about all the wood they xn handle at the present time and buying very little; and that the price will remain low for some tlme to come.
