E VOLUME 9. NUMBER 153. FINNESOTA HIBTORICAL SOCIETY. | TEN CENTS PER WEEK. RICE SEES VICTORY IF NORTH ACTS NOW Park Rapids Member of Legislature Says Governor Will Act and Bill Will Pass. BAUDETTE MAYOR OFFERS AID Williams Ready to Back Resolution and Hopes all Papers Will Fall in Line. “It is the very thing to do,” writes Representative L. H. Rice, of Park Rapids, in commenting on the move for an extra session of the legisla- ture to pass a reapportionment bill, and he adds such comments as: “I believe the governor will call an extra session if the N. M. D. A. will act. Bill Could Now Pass. “I further believe a reapportion- ment bill stands a good show of pass- ing at an extra session. “The Hansen bill never had a fair chance. “The seven senators bill death for reapportionment, fied."” spells if rati- Mayor Williams, too. On top of these positive declara- tions from a member of the legisla- ture who is willing to join the ranks of the friends of the North who are preparing to storm St. Cloud, comes assurance just as positive of assist- ance from the mayor of Beltrami county’s justly proud town of Bau- dette. Rice Letter in Full. lere is Representative Rice’s let- ter in full: Park Rapids, Minn.. Oct. 24, 1911 My dear Mr. Wilson: Have been away from home for a week and upon returning find your en- quiry of the 16th relative to the matter of the Northern Minneso- ta Development association ask- ing the governor to “make good" on his promise, made at Brain- to call the legislature to- gether in extra session unless a just and fair bill was passed at the regular session. In reply will say that I think it is the very thing to do under the circum- stances and I will further state that I believe the governor will call the extra session if the mat- ter is taken up by the N. M. D. A. at St. Cloud next December. Bill Stands Good Show. 1 will further state that 1 believe a reapportionment bill stands as good a show of passing as any of the other matters that have been proposed, not excepting the bill to increase the gross earnings tax on railroads. The Hansen Bill never had a fair chance for passage, being introduced so late that it required a two-thirds vote to move it ahead on the cal- endar. The bill could not com- mand so large a majority as that and died easily. However, a great many of the so-called ob- jectionable features of the Cong- don Bill were eliminated from the Hansen Bill and 1 was sore- ly disappointed when it failed. The introduction of the celebrat- ed Four Senator Bill also helped erd, to kill the Hansen Bill This Four Senator Bill, afterward amended to Seven Senators spelled the death of a fair reap- portionment and if ratified by the people at the next election, will place a fair reapportion- ment beyond the reach of North- ern Minnesota, for many, many years. Yours tru]y’ L. H. Rice. This From Baudette's Mayor. Mayor Williams, of Baudette, Pioneer: T am heartily in favor of any move that will bring about reapportionment, and will vote for a resolution at the St. Cloud meeting, should one be presented, cal- ling upon the governor to redeem his pledge made at Brainerd last Decem- “Dear (Continued on last pags) * + Pilot Says We Deserve Praise.

CLOUD |Says Hill May Address Develnpment‘\ | Meeting in December. i [ P i St. Cloud, Minn., Oct. 26.—W. R | Mackenzie, secretary of the Northern | Minnesota Development association,i ‘wvas in the city Monday, and confer-| |red with Mayor Seberger, President| Ladner of the Commercial club, and members of the general committee relative to the big convention to be held in St. Cloud, Dec. 8 and 9. Mr. Mackenzie estimates that at least 800 delegates will attend from the north- ern counties and an especially inter-| esting session is anticipated. Chair- man J. J. Hill of the Great Northern | will be one of the prominent men to be invited to address the association. The program has not been com- pleted but the present intention is to {have about four subjects discussed, and prominent men will be asked to prepare papers on each subject, and| then to have these papers followed by general discussion. There will not be so many papers as was had at the Duluth convention, as it is be- lieved keener interest will be in- spired by a sort of free for all dis- | cussion from the floor, and there will | be plenty of able men present to make things hum. Mr. Mackenzie will be in St. Cloud at a meeting of the Commercial club on Nov. 7, and an afternoon meeting will be held before the regular ses- sion with the committees already ap- pointed to perfect local arrange- ments. The program will then be so well in hand that St. Cloud’s part will be easy to outline. It is prob- able that on the evening of Dec. 8 there will be a smoke social and a get-acquainted meeting, instead of a set program.

WITHIN 20 FEET OF DEER Andrew Johnson Tells of Seeing Many Wild Animals in Northern Part of County. all Fxat it.,.Some.sre.skeptical - @lBFARS SAFE IN THICK -BRUSH Andrew Johnson, former deputy sheriff, but at present assistant en- gineer in charge of drainage survey work in the Battle and Shotley dis- trict in the Northwestern part of Bel- trami county, in Bemidji yesterday, told of a doe and fawn which came to within 20 feet of his crew of men. The deer came out of a clearing early in the morning on the wind- ward side of the men and when first seen the animals were not more than 150 feet away. The mea remained mute and motionless to see how close the doe and her fawn would come. The animals, apparently in search of water, circled closer and closer without observing the men. Finally when within about 20 feet, the doe and fawn stopped with a jerk threw their ears back and looked upon the ditch digging crowd with as much astonishment as a deer can look. “Good morning,” said one of the men, whereupon the deer wheeled and took to cover like Dan Patch go- ing after a record. Mr. Johnson says deer are plenti- ful and that while often fresh tracks of bear are found that they keep out of sight in the thick brusk. TRAIN FOR HARD FIGHT HERE Following Which Bemidji Girls Serve Grand Rapids Boys Supper. What will probably be the hardest fought game of the season in this city will be played by the Bemidji High School football team Saturday afternoon with the Grand Rapids High School team. The team from Grand Rapids is one of the strongest high school teams in the state. The game will be called promptly at 3 p. m. at the fair grounds. After the game the high school girls will serve a public supper for the benefit of the team. The boys have fallen a little behind in their finances and the pro- ceeds of the supper will go to pay outstanding debts and establish a treasury. The supper will be given in the Odd Fellows hall from 5:30 to 7:00. The game has been looked for- ward to by the boys for some time. They have won every game this sea- son and have not been scored on. Professor Robinson, the coach has been assisted this week by Professor Sherman Berge, a former player for Carlton College. Both of the coaches are satisfied with the work of the team and look forward to success in Saturday’s game. PHILADELPHIA NOW CHAMPIONOF WORLD By Winning Today’s Game American League Climbs Over the National Contenders. BENDER HAS GIANTS AT MERCY Allows But Four Hits and Visitors Had No Show of Prolonging Series With Victory. Philadelphia, Oct. 26.—-By win- ning today’s game over New York by a score of 13 to 1, Philadelphia, American League baseball team, be- comes champion of the world. The game today was witnessed by as many persons as could jam into the ball grounds, and perched on sur- rounding buildings and telegraph and telephone poles. It early became apparent that New York, defenders of the National League title, were being hopelessly outplayed, except for a bad first in- ning Bender was in perfect form, and the best the Giants could do was to get four hits. The score: R H E Philadelphia 00140170x—13 13 5 New York ...100000010—2 4 2 Bender and Thomas, Ames and Meyers. In order to win the world’s pen- nant a team had to win four games. New York had won two games and Philadelphia three so that by its vie- tory today, the world’s series comes to an end with the American League and the Philadelphia team in posses- sion of the banner. The receipts despite unfavorable weather, are the largest in the his- tory of the world’s series games and each player will receive more than $3,000. At the beginning of the series ev- en money was wagered that New York would win, the National League defenders putting great confidence in Mathewson to save the day for New York, but when the series proceeded and Mathewson failed to become ef- fective, many wagers were made two to one on Philadelphia.
