The St. Paul Pioneer Press says of the meeting: “Ata largely attended meeting ofI association held in Minneapolis yes- terday a resolution was adopted | calling for the establishing of a |test- |ing laboratory by the federal de- partment of agriculture in connec- [tion with |school.

There is a possibility that Bemidji will get into a baseball league dur- ing the coming year, the league to include Crookston, Winnipeg, Fargo, Duluth, Supetior and Bemidji, with the remote possibility that Brandon and Fort Williams will also be taken in. The old Northern-Copper Country League has been dissolved, the Cop- per country teams returning to™ the Copper Country League and the! western teams being left to the old Northern League, By the dissolution of last year’s baseball league, the teams of Winni- peg, Fargo, 'Duluth, Superior and‘ Crookston, together with Bemidji, could be formed into a circuit that | it is believed could be made a pay- ing proposition. Last year a number of local base- ball enthusiasts raised over $1,500 for the purpose of entering Bemidji in the league to be composed of the cities now suggested. The proposi- tion of forming the league, to include Grand Forks, Fargo, Duluth, Super- ior, Crookston and Bemidji, was gone into thoroughly and an agree- ment was reached to place teams in the cities mentioned. Grand Forks failed to come in with the rest of the bunch, and the proposition to form a league was abandoned.. The Bemidji organization with- drew from the field and the local “fans” were forced to be contented last year with a semi-professional team of fair ability. This year there is a possibility that the league proposed last year! will be, formed, and that Bemidji ‘‘fans” will be given some very fast,| ball. The proposition, however, has | not assumed any permanent form, as yet. Local news on last page 'Mr. Brinkman, at any time, and | wito the Canadian government - offi- Brinkman Family. Theatre.

Crookston Journal: ‘Dissensions between promoters of the plan for constructing a power dam across the Rainy river at the - international boundary have arisen over the flooding of lands on the American side belonging to homesteaders. Yesterday Representative Beede introduced.a bill in congress to ex- tend the time of ‘the construction of the dam for one year, and repre- sentatives of both sides were pres- ent to present their side of the case. Hector Baxter of Minneapolis is representing the company con- structing the dam and. Charles Lor- ing of this city, law partner of Rep- resentative Steenerson is represent- ing the homesteaders. It is said there are international questions involved, as the dam is partially on Canadian territory.

D., a member of the law school at the University of North Dakota, to referee both games. R e e e e o e o e TP VP VUL The Warren basketball team, claimants of the northern Minnesota championship of last year, will play two games in this city, one on Fri- day evening and one on Saiurday gvening against the “Big Bemidg” team of this city. The Warren team is considered one of the very - fastest basketball quints in the statenorth of St. Cloud. Last year the team defeated every- thing in the north half of the state, with the exception of Bemidji, but no game was played with the team in this city to determine the relative merits of the teams. The games to be played on Fri- day and Saturday evenings, are in the regular schedule which the “Big Bemidg” team has arranged for its championship series, and the -result of the contest will have much to do to. dgtermine the championship. In addition to the games between the two big teams, the Fosston boys’ and girls’ high school teams will play against the Bemidji boys’ and girls’ high school teams. . The game between the boys’ teams will be played on Friday even- ing, between the halves of the War- ren-Bemidji game, and promises to be one of the fastest™ high school games ever seen in this sec tion. The Jocal high school team was recently defeated at Fosston, by a score of 20 to 14. The Bemidji boys have been practiting diligently since, however, and are very much faster than at the time that game was played. They will play ina much larger hall and one which they are used to, which will give them a decided advantage over the visiting team. On Saturday evening the girls’ teams of the Fosston and Bemidji high schonls will play, and this game will be played between the halves of the second Warren-Bemidji game. The Fosston girls’ team is per- haps the fastest and most scieatific bunch of girl players in the north country. They recently .defeated B&nidji, 11 to 4. The Bemidiji girls, however, have improved w:n: derfully since then, and it is e:- pected that they will give 1’ e vitit- | ors a very close contest. ~DRESS GINGHAMS - 500 yards of 10 cent Ginghams, good pat- tern 7]20 Limit 10 yards to a customer. % LONSDALE MUSLIN Limit 10 yards to a customer.
