A Large vault has been put in which gives them ample room for the accomodation of their records and insures them against the possi- bility of loss by fire or otherwise. The artistic work being done in the dining room, rotunda and buffet by Contractor C. Schmidt, of QGrookston, is a delight to the eye.

Owing to rush of work we are un- able to report the ball games with apy details, even though the details are painful. The game with Deer River ending 6to 3 in favor of the Deer River team opened the season and was a genuine suprise to local people, who looked for a common everyday prac- tice game and for the Rapids boys to g9 outand wim whenever they saw tit. The fact of the matter was that Deer River: had the game well in hand and there was nothing to it but one Wakanabo and Bilaising. The fndian had the Rapids boys guessing all through and when a hit would have been good for a run or two there was no hit insight. Blaising played a fast and heady game at second base and kept his team to the front by his clean work, Take it all arouud the Deer River team will give any of them arun for their money and will furnish fine sport for the Deer River people this summer. The Rapids boys showed that. it was the first game vf season for them and although there was not any amount of very ragged playing, the light batting kept them in the ruck throughout, It was a very different team from which closed the season of when the weather warms up and the men play together the team promises to be a much better one. The Cass Lake game last Sunday was an example of a single week’s practice is rouuding outa ball team. Everybody hit the ball on the nose and fielded fast. The infleld was charged with one error apiece and each was made on a hard chance and they more than redeemed thefpsel ves by their fast accurate tlelding during the rest of the game and mighty vipes of the ball when hits meant runs.

On July 4th the Universal Millers, the strongest team in Duluth, comesbere foragame. The Big Dututh team that tuok such an awful fall outof the locals last year will also be here, but the date us yet has not been set.
