RANGE DISTRICT Grand Rapids City Team Defeats Bemidji Team by Decisive Score of 17 to @. WAS A GOOD, CLEAN EXHIBITION , Will Do Much Toward Restoring Amicable Relations Between the Towns—Free From Rag-Chewing. Company “K" football team, of Be- midji was defeated by the Grand Rap- ids City tam Sunday at South Side Dark by a score of 17 w 0. Hereto- fore there has been a great deal of bitterness aad strife between the two trams and a meet has generally ended up ma mixup. However, the game Sunday was one of the cleanest in the history of football in the range country and will do much towards restoring amicable relations between the two towns Bemidji won the kickoff on the toms, but on the first kick the bal) went out of bounds, was kicked over a- gain, Grand Rapids securing the ball. i play then alternated back and h for a short period with Grand tapids forging steadily toward Be midjis goal, finally making @ suc- forward pase they got the ball close to Bemidji's goal, boxed in the left tackle and shot Stewart Mc- Lachlan across the line for a touch- play being made so quick- interference A goal kick was made, which made the score 6 to 0 ceasful down, the ly there Was no Towards the end of the half Be- midji attempted a forward pass, but King received the ball on the pass and m a successful touchdown, interference being made by Mul hill and Wellein They failed to ake a successful goal kick and the half endei with the score 11 to 0 in favor of Grand Rapids The Bemidji team outweighed the “ae by several pounds per man, but what the latter lacked in weight ey made up in “grit Ther team work wa and they played tc ub ay being mad 28 though th was one unit The pen .

The situation is peculiar. Nearly all of the mail that comes here is for business men on Second street or Second avenue. Business bere is on an L, and Second avenue and Second street is the center of the L. As many people come from the west and south as from the east. Then why move the postoffice furth- er east? I do not blame the gentle- |men you quoted last week for want- | fas too get the postoffice nearer their Diaces of business, but all of us can-} | not have the postoffice next door. |Placing the postoffice in the Star | building would bring more trade past jour door, but In the interest of the |majority of patrons the postoffice, should be at or close to Second street and Second avenue.” Charles Peterson owns the south- east corner of Second avenue and Second street. He is non-committal about the postoffice site, probably be- cause he also owns a corner just op-. Dosite the proposed new site Eith- er way the cat jumps Mr. Peterson cannot loose 8. M. Steeves, who owns property in Second avenue between Second |stret and Coleraine said: “I think | Second street and Second avenue is | the proper place for the postoffice, as building ts drifting along Second avenue towards Coleraine and noth- ling can etup it If the postoffice de- | partment makes a fair and imparti- }al investigation, they will not remove the postoffice to the Star building, nor to any other point a stone's thro from Second avenue and Second strees.”” F. A. Bentz, whose billard room is on Second street near Third avenue, | favors removal of the post- office to the Star building, probably because it is close to his place of business. He said “The postoffice |is not in the right place. It onght to | be in the front of a building. I favor the Star site It's a central loca- tion.” H. J. Helkkala, shoes and men's | furnishing goods, told me: “I do not |favoer moving the postoffice to the Star building.

I rsonally is I o hack aiw t which Lam mon has not done in what appeared the Itasca Iron News of last Sat unday Pr to that time I had shown Lammon the article preceeding this in confidence He had told me that the only expression with which he had to find fault in my postoffice story last wedk was that he was not willing to give the matter an airing in his newspaper. We then arrang- led that Lammon should write what he had to say and I would add it to this week's story in the form of an interview When his paper appeared on Sat- urday Lammon for the first time had an article about the postoffice con-| troversy, in which he placed me in) |the Annanis club. In so doing (pnd Second street is the best ioca- tion for the postoffice. He gave me many reasons therefore, the principal! one being that more mail goes south and west of the postoffice than goes east. It is true that he told me that it would not make a bit of difference, to him persorally whether they mov- ed the postoffice or not, but at the’ same time he used zood arguments’ to convince me that the postoffice ought to stay where it is or close by._ In one way, I am sorry for Lam-. mon. He is a mighty weak sister in journalism. You have to read what he writes two or three times, to find out what he means.
