Inches. The management of the Bemidji Baseball team has made arrange- ments for a special train over the Great Northern railway, to take local baseball fans to Cass Lake Sunday to see the baseball game which will be played at the “Lake” between the Bemidji city team and the Cass Lake team. The train has been secured, pri- marily, in order that visitors who go to Cass Lake can return the same evening.

This arrangement will give Bemidji people, as well as those living at Rosby and Ferris who desire to see the game, ample opportunity to see the contest at Cass Lake and return to their homes early in the night. It is expected that Sunday’s game will be a red-hot contest from the start. The two teams played last Sunday, Bemidji winning by a score of 4 to-1, in a very close contest. The batteries for the game will be the same as those used last Sunday. Baumgardner will pitch and Eckle will catch for Bemidji, while Grady will be on the mound for Cass Lake and Oman behind the bat. Itis expected that a large crowd will go from here to see the game. Royal Neighbors ‘‘Remembered” Mrs. Atwood. At their regular meeting, last Tuesday evening, the Royal Neigh- boss presented Mrs. C. L. Atwood with a beautiful ring and a friend- ship quilt, the same being tokens of esteem, given prior to the contem- plated departure of Mr. and Mrs. Atwood for their future home at Wenatche, Wash. After the regular business session. J. P. Lahr, who had just been ini- tiated, presented the gifts to Mrs. Atwood, making a neat little speech as to her very estimable qualities as a sister of the order.

Mr. Tribbey further claimed that the raise made by the board was unfair and out of proportion to the manner in which other companies of the same character are assessed. By the action of the board yester dav afternoon, the matter is left open for further considerrtion by the board, whereas the action on May 4 refused Mr. Tribbey’s application pre-emptorily.
