CASS LAKE-—18 to 0) The Rapids Champions Add An- other Winning to Their Long List of Victories. The city footbal! team went to Cass Lake Sunday and again trimmed the all-star professional team of that place. Considering the fact that Cass Lake boasts of a team composed mostly of college and university players and that they claim to have one of the best coaches in the north- ern part of the state, the home team is to be looked upon as champions. The Cass Lakers have practiced hard for two weeks and had all hopes of winning. All the players report a square deal and are well satisfied with the treat- ment received. Whey played a stiff game and (unlike Bemidji) are goud sports, and can take a defeat grace- fully. The Grand Rapids boys played in hard luck throughout the game. Capt. Patterson got one side (only) caved in and although he finished the game was unable to play up to his usual form. ‘‘Stewart” also got slightly injured and had to be taken from the game in the first half. Fumbles at critical moments cost Grand Rapids at least two touch- downs. At one time the ball was fumbled when within two feet of the goal. Cass Lake had no chance of scoring during the entire game, all the playing being in their territory. Bert Lafreniere played a wonderful game and starred for the locals. Two touchdowns, one goal and a safety were the points scored. Paid Off the Red Men. Last Wednesday was Indian pay- ment day, and the reds from every corner of the reservation were on hand to receive the pittance the goveroment doles out every year about this time. The males took their own allowance and the mother, with from one to ten children, took her own and that of her brood. The payment was quickly and quietly made and then began the hunt for scvtiwaboo and something to appease the pangs of hunger. The old stagers who had been supplied afuretime by the “bootleggers” walked boldly into the gilded drink parlors and took their bocze like the white man, while some more discreet, carried their bot- tles behind the buildings and wood piles and drank to oblivion. Atthree o’clock nearly all had gone home, leaving several of themore boozy to sleep in the village lockup until morning and meet the court and his officers. The payment was made by Indian Agent Frater of Onigum. Highway Order Filed by Court. Anorder made by Judge Cant of Duluth, allowing the new public highway between St. Louis and Itas- ca counties was filed with the district clerk last week. William Nichols and-F. A..Pifher of Itasca county and Ole*Johnsrud of St. Louis county werétdppointed as a commission to oversee the building of the road and to see:that the petition of J. F. Wil- kie aiid others was carried out. The new road will begin at Morcum, in St. Louis county, and run southeast to Bearville, thence northeast to Carpenter and connect with the main road to Brude. TAFT AND JOHNSON WIN THE VOTE IN ITASCA GOUNTY IN THE NATION AND oTATE Wm. Howard Taft Elected President of the United King Piste bccaincianer States and Johnson Will Remain Governor of the State of Minnesota. The returns are not all in by any means but enough is known to insure the election of Taft as President of the United States by a large majority of the electoral college. He will have approximately 298 votes. The United States senate will retain its present Republi- can majority. Indiana has gone for Taft. Bryan has apparently carried Nebraska. Governor Charles E. Hughes has been re-elected in New }" York by about 54,000 plurality. Ohio returns are very slow but Taft has carried the state by a large plurality. It is estimated that Taft has carried Minnesota by 100, 000 majority. Johnson has been re-elected governor by at least 25,000 and complete returns may greatly increase these figures. Judgeship Uncertain, Returns on the fight between Judge C. W. Stanton of Be- midji and B. F. Wright are not sufficiently complete at this writing to justify any prediction as to the final outcome. Wright will have a handsome majority in Itasca county, while Judge Stanton will more than off set it in Beltrami county. COMING IN VERY SATISFACTORILY in the First District, O’Brien in the Second, Trebil- cock in the Third, Mullins in the Fourth, and McWilliams in the Fifth. For Sheriff Riley and Riddell are Close; Dit- to Huson and McLennan for Judge of Probate; Price leads for County Attorney and Brown Defeats Martin for Surveyor. The political fight is over, and at least the majority should be satisfied. There were some hard-fought battles in the local field. The most strenuous battle put up in Itasca county was in commissioner district No. Four between Neil Mullins and Jim Passard. Passard had been campaign- ing for the past year. He and his backers left no stone un- turned or trick untried to win the endorsement of the voters. Mr. Mullins did not begin ‘his campaign until late, and scarcely covered the district. His endorsement is a well deserved compliment to his worth as a citzen and public of- ficial. His majority in the district is only seventeen, but it is enough to assnre the people an able commissioner during the next four years. According to returns received King in the First and Morris O’Brien in the Second are also elect- VERY POOR LOT OF YOUNG SPORTS Bemidji Football Team Wants to Dictate Terms to Grand Rapids’ Champions In six years of football riy y the Bemidji city}football team bh never scored One point on the home team Every year our boys pile up bigger scores against the teams that Be- midji plays and at no time have they proved themselves in the same class Now after two games this season they want another and they won’t play on the grounds here or at Deer River. Manager Joe O’Day has challenged them tu play for a purse of $150 a side, the game to be played at Deer River and the officials to be obtained from Duluth. We do not believe they will accept as they must be wise enough to know their only chance of winning would be through a fluke and Grand Rapids makes a specialty of watching such things. With one or two exceptions the Be- midji bunch are composed of a poor lot of sports and poor loosers. At their town three weeks ago our boys got a “‘rotton” deal all through the game both from the players and from the officials, the latter not being a bit backward in showing where their sympathies were. NEW TOWNSHIPS TO BE OPENED The register and receiver of the ed by handsome majorities. John P. Tribilcock in the Third and Archie McWilliams in the Fifth were chosen without opposition. The fight between Riley and Riddell for sheriff is close with Riley in the lead by about 100. PAY YOUR ELECTION BETS WITH A '_LANPHER HAT The Hat that Gives the Best Satisfaction.
