DECKER, SVS CASS LAKE TOURNAMENT The Grand Rapids Boys Return Home Well Satisfied With Victories Won The Grand Rap'ds volunteer fire- men and base ball team who attended the tournament at Cass Lake last week arrived home Sunday afternoon,, feeling proud of the record they bad made, and our citizens. generally joined them in that feeling. As announced last week, the-ball team put it all over their Cass Lake opponents by a score of 5 to 15 just as soon as they ayprived in town. Then the Grand Rapids firemen took first prize in the parade, and also won the $45 trumpet and $10 in cash—first prize—in the wet test run: running 100 yards and laying 300 feét of hose in 302-5 seconds. Following is a de- tailedsreport of the tournament as sent from Cass Lake to the Duluth News 'Tribune: “The eighth annual tournament of the Northern Minnesota Fremen’s association was by far the most successful one in the history of the organization. The towns represented were Grand Rapids, Bemidji, Park Rapids. Stephen, Thief River Falls. Hallock, East Grand Forks and Cass Lake. The next tournament will be held at Park Rapids. .The tourna- ment closed with a grand ball. “The members of the association held a business meeting at which officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows: President, M. C. Schonberger, P; Rapii secretary. George Gage, Park Rapids; first vice- president, George Riddell, Grand Rapids; second vice-president, P. V. Murray, East. Grand Forks, and C. R. Martin of Bemidji. treasueer, They fixed upon* Park Rapids as the place for holding the next-annual tourna- ment. The details of the tournament just ended fell to the retiring presi- dent and secretary, C. E, Leeman and A. D. Rutledge respectfully. The tournment brought a big crowd to Cass Lake. There were many women present. “The time heepers selected for the tournament were ©. R. Martin of Bemidji, P. V. Murray of Bast Grand Forks, and C. Bills of Park Rapids. Phe judges were T, H. Hennessy, of}: Grand Rapids, Charles Tedford of Cass Lake and L. B. Ebrenstrom of Hallock. “Grand Rapids was first for the greatest number of menin the parade, and Bemidji second. Stephen was first for the best appearing company, and Park Rapids second. Bemidji won for the second time the associ- ation championship hose race and be- came the owner of the prize banner. The distance was 200 yards and the time 82% seconds. Park Rapids was second and Stephtn third. “In the ladder climbing contest John Goodman of Bemidji and F. Bisair of Park Rapids tied for first place. The time was 8 seconds and the men split the prize money. Earl Geil of Bemidji was second.» In the ‘Combination hook and ladder race Bemidji was first, Park Rapids second and Cass Lake and Stephen tied for third place. The distance was 400 feet and the best time 28 4-5 seconds. Bemidji also won the association hook and ladder event, 200 yards in 36 seconds. Park Rapids was second and Grand Rapids third. Cass Lake did not enter in this event. In the hose-coupling contest Will Umland of Cass Lake and Thomas English of Bemidji were a tie. The time was 54-5 seconds. ‘On the run off Umland won in 6 seconds. John Goodman, of Bemidji, was second. . Ray Schumaker, of Cass Lake, won the firemen’s foot race of 100 yards in 10 4-5 seconds. Harry Gail, of Benid@ji, was a close second. The track was not an ideal one for sprinting and it was considered that Schumaker made an excellent record. It is believed by his friends that he can cut the record to less than 10 ‘seconds with proper training and a first class track. ‘There were 21 entries in the fire- men’s foot race. The hub and hub race was won by Bemidji, 200 yards in 25 seconds flat. Park Rapids was second and Grand Rapids third. Ray Schumaker again distinguished hiwe self at foot racing. He won the free- for-all in 10 2-5 seconds, 2-5 of a second bevter than his second in the firemen’s regular foot race. Geil was a close second, and Joe Mandt, of Cass Luke, third. The foot racing record for 100 yards is 9 3-5-seconds on a perfect track. ‘The record is held by Duffy, of Georgetown uni-. verSity. al hose, Grand Rapids was first, winning | the northern part of the state, and the $45 trumpet, which was donated as a prize by the Thompson-Gaskin company, of Duluth. The time was 30 2-5 seconds. Park Rapids was second and Cass Lake third. “The ‘firemen’s organizations in the towns represented in the association are all volunteers. They are com- posed of young business men and others of their respective towns, and they are all athletic men. The hold- ing of the annual tournaments is a great spur to firemen to attain the utmost vroficiency. It is altogether probable that there are no more efficient volunteer firemen’s organi- zations in the country than those in the Northern Minnesota association.” FEAR POSSIBLE RESULTS Duluth People Apprehensive That State May Do Them Harm. The Duluth news Tribune of recent date says: ‘Duluth landmen and others who have given the subject thought see, in the recent supreme court decision , affecting the State school lands, a possible menace to the development of northern Minnesota. “The court ruled that the state is not entitled to sectiuns 16 and 36 in townships on the Indian reservations. However, according to an old law, it is entitled to indemnity for any loss of, lands reserved for the Indians and is free to select those from the public domain in any other part of the state. “By the ruling of the court the state loses 380,000 acres of land on Indian reservations. It is accordingly given the right to select just that much laud in any other part of the state that is open for settlement. Local men fear that officials will with an experienced eye select the best lands which, they claim, are located in the Duluth land district and the country tributary to this city. ‘*A block of land the size that Min- nesota has by law the right to take would mean the choicest portions in which lie principally in St. Louis, Itasca, Cook and Lake counties. » ‘If the government exercises the judgment that a private individual would under like circumstances,’ said a Duluth lawyer yesterday. "Tt" wilt} send experienced men who know every township to seléct the lands desired. Naturally, the best farming land, timber tracts, land adjacent to valuable mining eountry and where extensions of the Mesaba and Ver- million ranges are likely vo be found, will be chosen. It will not only de- prive bonatide settlers of the right to file on a good piece of land; but in addition will keep the country tied up and prevent the onward march of progress. and civilization which is pow well under way. “Some may say that as the state will receive 380,000 acres of land. any- how, there can be no! difference as to where the land is taken. The point ini question is-simply this: Had the state been given the right to retain the two sections in each township of the Indian reservation the land would state; but now, that itis to be given out in one block, the part of the country to which Duluth must look for its resources is the one that is FURNITURE certain to be gobbled up. “The state is generally io no hurry to dispose of its school lands, and when it does the sale takes the form of an auction. If vhe lands are of any value it reaps a rich reward, and not the settler, as would_be the case under the United States land laws! In some states they have what is called thestate homestead laws. Ithas been suggested that a like system be adepted in Minnesvta. These pro- vide for the filing on land in about the same manner as under the federal laws, and the result is that the state promotes the settlement and develop- ment on the land in itsdemain. Of course, a nomial sum is paid. ~ s:However, under the statutes of Minnesota the auditor, whep he con- siders the time opportune, sets a date for an auction sale and disposes of a few sections, after they have been pee objection to the state taking all this territory is that all the time it is ungecupied and remains in the possession of tbe state there will be no taxes forthcoming, as would 8 es ee eae eae ete ee eae ea OEE ee neat oy he, as “the real thing.” This definition may not be pre-_ cisely luminous. : Do you want to know more on the subject?
