UNIORS WIN FROM SENIORS The initial game of base ball in Grand Rapids for this season was played Wednesday afternoon, when the eight room of the High schoul Were defeated by Ube sixthjroom of Central school, the score being 8 to 12 The feature of the game was the striking out’ of 11 men by Joe Her- {Man of the juniors. Lofberg in the box for the senior also did some artistic throwing, but having such Pour support was enabled to accomp lish but Jittie. ‘*Rom’ Myers, who played short stop for the “large fel- Jows” was there with the big mittand }vOthing went by hiny that could be stopped by the keenest leaguer. Shaughnesy, the crack left fielder for the junior did some extraodinary stunts, one of which was the making of double play, when he cauglit a fly and landed the ball duwn to second where he with the aid of that robuud second baseman, Bill Tyndall succeeded in discarding the second man. Remarkable plays were witnessed by (he base ball favs throughout the entire game that would make some ofthe northern league play open their eyes in astonishment as if “he- haw” had made his appearance. J The local High school base ball team have been hard at practice the past two weeks and are now ready to accept a challenge from any team in their class. Captain Loyd Jobnson feels confident that he has a winning téam this season, that Grand Rapids should be proud of. Edward Kremer, who tossed the ball fur the ‘‘Comers” last year and who with that local aggregation of young ball players wou renown as a pitcher, will curveda few for the High school this season. “Eddie” is noted for the cool manner ip which he plays the game, Joe Cloutier, another famous ball ayer who won many a praise for his fielding with the ‘Comers” will also give aid in making a tast team for the schoul boys. ‘Capt. Johnson is also a fastman but of late years he has been so taken Up with foot ball and other athletic mes that he cared theieast for ‘| base ball. “But, wow that-he tas be- come enthusiastic over America’s favorite game, be will, with the little ‘practice he has had remember old times and will no doubt surprise some of the fans, Bill King, who played ball with the Wadena High school for the past four seasons will wake himself promi- nent in the local team. Bill isa fast short stop player and coming from the town where base ball is very strong, it is judged that he will be a star player. Fay Knox and Geo. Myers will also be seen in the game. Both are crack ball players and with their strength on the diamond will make their op- ponents dig to the woods. Capt. Johnson says he will soon have a game arranged with Hibbing and show the ore town decendants how to play the ball. As school closes in about a month they will have to arrange their games without further delay so as to win a few be- fore ube season is over. The “Comers” who had a fast team last year will be out witha stronger aggregation this season. “Sport,” who did most of the twirl- ing for that band of enthusiasts last season, will be with them again, For the'past weeks he has been gets ingiv trim and no doubt will putupa surprising game. Cook will wiil also be in apppearance in the same old familliar form in the shape of a long, lanky giraffe-like first baseman, where he did some -very extrvadin- ary stunts last season. it has been rumored that C. C. Kelley, who took se much interest in that team last year, will be the manager this season, and with him as a-hacker they will certainly make a good showing. * Last Sunday the Grand Rapids base ball team were on the diamond getting in trim for the season. Staf- ford who pitched the latter part of last season will be with them again with a mdre powerful arm than be- fore. He’ has been getting his arm in working order for the past two weeks, and judging from the twist be puts on the ball will be enoagh to hypuotize the senses of any batsman. The Geritz boys will also play this season and the prospect of a strong team are very incouraging. t Mrs. J. M. Kirschbaum formerly aresident of Grand Rapids, but now of St. James is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Kurtzman this week. Irrigation in Milk River Valley. Montana is coming in for a big share of the general prosperity of the country, and it will only be afew short years when she will rank with any of the Northwestern states in agricultural greatness. The recent act of the interior departmentiof the United States in setting aside $1,000,- 000 towards reclaiming three or four hundred thousard acres in the Milk River Valley is but a bégining of a much vaster developement .of this section us the needs grow apace. Already the agricultural worth of Vhis to famous valley has been ade- quately demonstrated in ‘the results which have followed the irrigation works already establishec. 1t has been successfully proven that all kinds of agricultural products grow ln great abundance wherever irri- gation isused. The soil is naturally rich ard needs only moisture to make it yield prolifically. The Great Northern Railway furnishes adequate transportation facilities, its main line practically cutting the valley in two. The fact that the government has decided to begin immediate oper- ations will prove a great incentive lo the people of that section who bave hiways believed in the future of their country and will open to settle- ment a vast area of rich land to the homeseeker and investor. Minnosota Pioneers’ Meeting. Gov. Johnson and the Capitol Com- mission deem it appropriate that the annual meeting oi the Minnesota Territorial Pioneer Association to be, held May ri, 1905, the forty-seventh anniversary of the admission of Min- nesota to the Union, should be held in the hall of the House of Represent- atlves in the new state capital, St. Paul Minn. ‘The meeting will open at 1o:00 A. M.:sharp. Hon. F. G. O’Brien,- Minneapolis, G. H. Hazzard, St. Paul, and Senator E. W. Durant, Stillwater, have been appointed com- mittee on a program appropriate for the occasion. The present member- ship of the society 1s composed of 3000 persons who were in the state on or before May 11, 1858. 208 new members -have ‘joined this year, and 125 paid assessments. _It is expected a large number will attend this meet- ing, many new members will enroll. Those interested in the early history of the state, entitled to membership or that can furnish any relic of pioneer days for the museum at the Log Cabin on the state fair grounds, should communicate early with the secretary, Geo, H. Hazzard, 664 Gilfillan block. St. Paul, Minn, Clysdale Sells Crookston Bakery. The following is taken from’ the Crookston Journal. ‘I’. KE. Clysdale. formerly of Crookston, but now resid- ing at Grand Rapids’ has sold the City bakery to Peter Peterson and John Mijyide, of Mentor. The deal was closed a day or two ego and the gentlemen are now in possession of the shop. Mr. Glysdale was in the city for several days looking after matters of business connected with his interests here and has departed for his home in Grand Kapids. Alcohol and Crime. The Medical society has gathered statistics as to the relaticn of alcohol to crime, and comes to the conclusion that crime increases in proportion to the increased consumption of alco- holic beverages. Here are the figures: On Monday, when numer- ous small artisans and workmen in Europe “make blue,” that is, refuse to work, spending the day in saloons. the nnmber of crimes reported to the Vienna police was 125; on Tuesday, when almost everyboay works, the reported crimes numbered, 69, on Wednesday and Thursday, 62; on Friday. when the purchasing power of the poorer classes is at the lowest ebb, only an average of 48 crimes are reported, while on Saturday, when most folks get their wages, the statistic record the greatest number of a week day, except Monday, namely 103. : Sunday is not only the principal |day of enjoyment in the German- speaking countries, but also the pmncipal day of crimes. Two hund- ered and fifty-four crimes, on the average, are reported every Sunday in Vienna, most of them due, the loctors.say, to over-indulgence in alcohol. __(eimilar _ statistics were gachered in New York of late.)— Minnaapolis Times.

We think it is the general opinion tbat its work | ranks above that of the average of Minnesota legislatures aud the record of at least one member should be the 52nd senatorial distriet. We re- fer to therecord of Hon. A. L. Cole of Cass county. é This was Mr. Cole’s second term, and from the first of the present session, when he was_ selected to resent the name of Senator Moses E, Clapp to the Republican caucus, until the close of the present session. he took a prominent part in the pro- ceedings, was one of the most influ- ential members, and was exceeding- ly successful in securing favorable consideration for legislation in which his district was particnlarly interest- ed. Aschairman of the committee on roads and bridges he drafted, in troduced and secured the passage of a bill creating a state highway com- mission to consist of three members, two of whom shall be from the north central portion of the state, This commission will serve without pay, will apportion the state movey for roads and bridge among the several counties and will have general sup- ervison of the expenditure of the money. No county can receive more: than 3 per cent of the total sum divided, but in making the division the commission is. to take into con- sideration Ahe size of the county, the state of its development and its need of assistance. A companion piece of legislature was also introduced by Mr, Cole as chairman of the roads and bridge committee. This in the form of a constitutional amendmeut increasing the state tax rate for roads and. bridges from one-twentieth of a mill to one-fourth of a mill. This will give the state highway commission a. largely increased fund, and they will be enabled te do a corresponding amount of goad. Mr, Cole introduced and secured the adoption of an act providing for a comprehensive survey .of the state. swamp lands. A sum of $15,000 was appropriated for the purpose, and when the survey is completed the re= port of the engineer will be one of the most powerful arguments in favor of continued and increased appro- priations for the drainage of the state swamp lands. Mr. Cole also took an active part in securing the general appropriation for the state drainage commission, which was. increased from $50,000 to $60,000. Mr. Cule introduced and secured the passagé of an act which provides that those who purchase state lands. in the future shall be required to make certain improvements within a. time limit. lt is for the purpose of shutting out speculators and reserv- ing the state’s lands for those who will use them for making homes. Mr. Cole was the father of the so- called immigration bill which per- mits the state auditor to advertise the resources of the state and the sale of state lands in a liberal man- ner, $15,000 was appropriated for the work and it is believed that it will result in facilitating the settlement of the northefn portion of the state. The bill providing for transferable railway mileage was on general orders and was indefinitely, pospuned. The next day Mr. Cole secured a re-con- sideration and the bill is now a law. He voted for the Nolaao reciprosal demurrage bill for a reduction of the railway passenger fare, for the auti- pass bill and for all railroad legis- lation that was calculated as re~ straints upon the srailway companies. Mr, Coles record seems: to be satis~ factory and gratifying to the people and it has been suggested that he will be thé logical candidate for state senator from this district when election again rolls around.—Aitkin Age. r SUSPENSION — OF THE GLOBE The announcement that the St. Paul Globe, the only big Democratic daily in Minnescta, will suspend publication May 1st, has caused a veritable sensation in business and political circles in the state, The reason for its discontinuance is the lack of advertising patronage. The Globe will be greatly missed, as in its later years it has been conducted along strong editorial and news lines. particularly pleasing tothe people of © | i)
