Aunnouncement is made from Cass Lake that the executive commettee of the old Northern Minnesota Fire- men’s Tournament association (which includes Cass Lake, Grand Rapids, Park Rapids and fire depart- ments on the iron range) has been called to meet at Cass Lake Febru- ary 25 to set the exact dates for holding the tournament of that association, which will be held at Grand Rapids some time next June. The tournament of the Northern Minnesota Firemen’s Tournament association, of which Bemidji isa member (aad which includes aepm- ments west of Bemidji to the Dakota line) will hold their tournament in Bemidjt on dates yet to be fixed, but which will probably be July 4.5.6. It is hoped that, at the meeting to be héld at Cass Lake on the 25th inst., the delegates will set the dates of the tournament so as not to con- flict in any manner with the Bemidji tournament; and it is suggested that a race be arranged between the champion team of the Grand Rapids tournament and the team of the Bemidji tournament: for the cham- ship of Minnesota. It is the intentionof the local committees to invitei all of the members of the other tournament association to partic;Eate' in the meeting to be held in Bemidji.

F. ‘Parker has been elected captain of the running team which is to participate in the races at the next firemen’s tournament which meets at Bemidji July 4, 5, 6. “Mr. Parker has attended many tournaments and is thoroughly familiar with the inns and outs of these events, The team will be- gin practicing at once. A hand ball alley will be installed - for use until the weather will permit out- door practice.” dred Preble, Elmey Snow, Lydia Sawyer, Cora Shadiow, Bazel Se- cord, George Wintersteen, .

LETTERS POURING IN ON CHAIRMAN W.R.MACKENZIE Representative Men Are Realizing that the Development Meeting, Thursday and Friday, Feb. 17-18, Will Be Far-Reaching in Its Results. While a fear is being expressed in some of the twin city daily papers that the reapportionment-develop- ment convention to be held here Thursday and Friday, February 17-18,"“] develop into a monster political gathering, there is every ! indication that all men of any pub- lic prominence throughout the southern part of the state as well as this section are taking cognizance of the meeting and the far-reaching and important results will attend the getting-together of the determined delegates of northern Minnesota who are going to formulate plans for banding themselyes together in order to obrain proper recognition and equal and just treatment from the legislature and from other sources that form the “‘powers that be” and have, in a large measure, in the past retarded the development and growth of the north country, That those who have been author- ized to appoint delegates to the con- vention are really greatly pleased at the opportunity given to exchange ideas and form unity plans is shown by many letters which have been received by W. R. Mackenzie, chairman of the Northern Minne- sota Development association, some of which have been published and a few of which are given herewith below. While it is impossible to print all of the many commendatory and enthusiastic letters received, the following are an indication of the united sentiment which exists: L B. Arnold of Duluth, land agent tor the Duluth & Iron Range railway writes: ¢‘St. Louis county will be represented by thoroughly representative men. We Wwill try and make the meeting a good one.” C. L. Sulerud of Halstead, Representative for the Sixty-first Legislative district, is interesting himself with the details of the con- vention and writes, «I shall certainly see to it that my appointees as delegates surely attend the convention.” J. W. Bailey, president of the Backus (Cass county) Commercial Club, gets into line with the follow- ing letter: “Our delegates will attend. The work is good and I believe we are on the eve of much more prosperous times for our northern country.” A. J. McGuire, superintendent of the Northeast Expefiment Station at Grand Rapids, with his usual energy, writes: 3 : “I will be with you for the con- vention.” Alfred .

If the party who addressed a letter to this office under the heading of “To The Editor” will kindly write or phone us his name we will be glad to publish the article written by him regarding the com- ing city election. Dehghtful Card Pcrty. The Catholic ladies gave _ime of their delightful card parties and |dances last evening in the: Masonic ball. - This is the last dance before Lent and a good-sized crowd was in attendence. 5 Progressive cinch was played un- il 10:30, when dancing was indulged in untila late hour. The ladies served ice cream and cake during the entire evening. The party was one of the most successful of these usually pleasant social “hops,” and every one went home thoroughly satisfied with hav- ing attended. The ladies realized a reat little sum for their labors. The Ladies’ Aid of the Swedish Lutheran church will give a supper and sale in the Odd Fellow’s hall Tuesday evening, February 15.
