BOW 10 THE GRAYS Grand Rapids Grays Have Played Six Games and Lost None During the Present Season. FANS WITNESS THE GAME IN RAIN Grays Won By a Score of 3 to 2, Only Seven Innings Being Played—Was Remarkably Free From Errors. That the sporting spirit is always to the fore at Grand Rapids is evi- dence by the fact that despite the inclemency of the weather, the game between the Grand Rapi¢s Grays and the Cloquet Cubs «was played as per schedule the Grays winning by a score af 3 to 2. A fairly good sized crowd witnessed the exhibition from under dripping umbrellas, there be- ing a drizzling rain until the game was nearly finished. Home plate looked like a recently drained pond, the muck being knee deep, while the othe bags were not in much better condition and at the close of the game no sane man would affey to bet on the original color of the uniforms worn by the players. The first man up for Cloquet got transportation to first, but in at- tqmpting to pilfer, was caught out at second. The next man up roiled ut at grounder and he failed to reach first. The third man up struck out. Lofberg, for Grand Rapids, reach- ed first on account of the shortstop fumbling the ball and successfully stole second and third. Reerdon, and Wellein failed to reach first, but Kentfield got a walk and things look- ed bright for a few - minutes, but Metzger hit out a fowl, which ‘was gathered in by the catcher, retiring the side. In the second inning it was one, two, three and out for the visitors, only four balls being pitch- ed. Grand Rapids again succeeded in getting men to third and second, but the next three up failed® to reach first. In the third Cloquet succeed- ed in getting in getting a man past first, but the side was called pefore any damage was done. The Grays did no better, they failing to score In the fourth,.Cloquet.got a man to third,but like the preceding inning, there was nothing doing on the tally sheet. In this inning through errors on the part of the visitors, assisted by two well placed hits, Grand Rapids ran in three scores. ‘In the next inning through errors ow the part of the Grays, the Cubs secured two runs, put failed to reach first in the sixth or seventh. There was nothing doing for Grand Rapids in the fifth or sixth, and the game end- ed with the score 3 w 2 m Grand Rapids’ favor, only seven inn- ings being played. The fotlowing is the score by inn- ings. RHE Grays—0 00300 x—3 64 Cubs—0 000200—-235 Batteries, Brownlee and Kentfield; Giverson and Loisé]. Umpire LaFre- niere. On account of Peterson being in Du- Juth, where he was given a try-out by the White Sox, his place behing the bat was taken by Kentfield, who showed he was there all the times Blazing, of Deer River, couldn’t stay away and played his old position at secohd.

The judge imposed the mini- miun fine, $50 and costs, but Game Warden Harry has taken the matter up with the state board, asking that the fine be remitted! on) payment of the costs. It seems that Gary’s family was in a destitute condition and he killed the deer in order to provide meat for them. MAIN SEWER FOR LELAND AVENUE Village Council Orders Village At- torney to Draw Resolution for Sewer. At a special meeting of the village council Friday evening, the village {attorney was requested to draw a resolution for the putting in ot a sewer on Leland avenue from Third street south to the river. It was de- cided to put in a sewer down at a sufficient depth so that, if necessary it could be extended to Ice lake and have enough fall to drain the north- east portion of the village. No objections were received om the petition of C. H. Dickinson to have a portion of the’ alley at the rear of his lots closed and the request for therefore granted. sessment of $9.49 agasust his pro- peity be stricken from the assess- ment rolls, as the sewer was of n0 benefit to him. His request was refer- red to the committee on sewers. En- gineer P. C. Warner was instructed to draw plans and Specifications for ‘a culvert to be constructed of con- crete stone or tiling on Fourth street between Simpson*&nd Winnipeg ave- nues. The recorder was instructed to sell tthe! desk in the recprder’s office, which was damaged by fire, for any sum ‘he deemed fit. ‘A c&mmittee consisting of Recorder LeFebre and Village Attorney Doran was appoint- ed to make some settlement in the Hepfel case. The recorder was instructed to write the “Marwick-Mitchell company, re- questing them to at once forward their report on the examination of the village books. The next regular meeting of the council will be held at Village hall Monday evening; June 13 and the council will then be estab- lished in the old rooms.

Winsor becomes the possessor of the ice business formerly conducted be.Theo..Betts..Mr Winsor who has been engaged in the life in- surance business for the past two yé4ars, will shortly give up that work and will devote his entire time to his newly acquired possession. { Mr. Winsor states he intends pur- chasing another team and plans to give his patrons the best possible service. Later in the season™he will erect a warehouse and go extensively fnto the fuel business. His reasout for giving up the insurance business is that he wishes to spend the ‘even- ings at home. This was impossible heretofore and he will give it up as soon as possible. Mr. Winsor is one of Grand Rapids’ most popular young men and will undoubtedly find the venture a profitable one. Mr. Betts will still make.Grand.Rapids his.home and next winter expects te go ‘nto the logging business.

The action of thé management is very much appreciated. Indians Ask Road Money. There was a mysterious gathering of chiefs of the “Noble Red/ Men,’ about town which imcited a little suspicion yesterday morning, ~ and come to find out, the graveness of their action was simply a desire to filch a few easy ducats. The road being} made to Dumas crosses three or four Indian allotments on the ends abutt- ing the railroad, so the places are not cut up by the road, and the benefits are worth more than the land the road takes up, amounts to. But the Neches could not) see it that way, and were going to stop the road, un- til S.J. Moran and M. J. Baker, agreed to go to Bena and fix it with sub-Agent Warren, which they did on the same day. ‘Mr. Warren said he would attend to the matter all right. It may or may not cost a little, put the road will not be stopped. Some few years ago a-signed ease- ment for this road was secured from these same Indians, but it develops that the action never had the approv- al of the agent in charge, and that may make a diffrnce.—Deer River News. A Good Suggestion. It has been suggested that the Contrary to the reports published in the Twin City dailies there was no politics mixed in the development program.. The actual delegates were at “hookston for business and they did business. It is true that a mum- bei’ of candidates for state office were present, but their presence was not felt in the deliberations of the one thdpsand delegates wha had as- sempled. Strong resolutions were adopted which demand just reapppor- tionment; ‘better agricultural educa- tion; better roads; better advertis- ing of state lands and state oppor- tunities to be had; improved meth- ods of selling state lands; larger ap- propriations by the legislature for publicity; a greater drainage policy; greeter assistance to the pioneer and urited action of all the people for th: advancement and materia] up- buiiding of this great section of Min- nesgta. Fallawin@ are the resolf- tions in full. The Resolctions Following are the resolutions adopt- ed by the convention: Delegates from 31 counties of northern Minnesota, in convention as- sembled at the city of Crookston, June 2 and 3, 1910, composing the Northern Minnesota Development as- sociation, realizing that in northern Minnesota lies the greatest opportuni ties for future development of natur- al resources and advantages such as no other, land possesses, and to the end that this development may be speedily accomplished, do hereby adopt the following resolutions: r.eapvortionment “Whereas, The representation of the northern half of the state in the state legislawre is conceded to be wholly inequitable and unjust in view of the rapid growth in popula- tion of that part of the state as com- pared with other portions, and, “Whereas, this condition is con- trary both to the letter and spirit of the constitution of the state of Min- nesota and to every principle of right and justice. ‘““Be it resolved, That the associa- tion demands imperatively that a just and equitable reapportionment be made at the coming session of the legislature to take effect before the next election that shall remedy this condition on a basis which will give to all parts of the state equa] repre- sentation, both in the senate and the house, according to the population as shown by the United States census in 1910. “Be it further resolved, That, to this end, we demand that all candi- dates for the senate and for the house of representatives from the counties Hattie F.

Owing to rain the trip was postponed until yesterday. About seventy-five business men gladily ac- cepted Mr..Greenway’s hospitality and at 12 o’clock were ready to start from Hotel Pokegama in rigs provid- ed by the Grand Rapids Commercial club. Arriving at Coleraine, flat cars were in readiness to convey the party to the open pits and thence to the great washing plant. It was an ideal day for such an outing, and those who took advantage of the opportun- ity thus offered.were.well.repaid. The sights to be seem were not new to many of the visitors, but there were none who did not fully enjoy the af- ternoon, BREAKING GROUND FOR HUGHES BLOCK The work of breaking the ground for the Hughes block was commenc- ed Tuesday, a force of men under the direction of James Hughes , Virgmia, bing engaged ‘in blasting the old foundation.

Mr. Price will con tinue as of old, maintaining offices both im the court house and in the First Nationa] bank. Three Fires in One Day. The fire alarm called the fire de partment out three times today. The first call was from the Herald-Re; view office, fire catching between the walls in a partition through the spilling of some gasoline, while fix- ing the linotype torch. With the aid of some axes and the garden hose, the fire was subdued without usin the hose from the main. The damage is estimated at between $50 and $75. The second call was from the Itasca laundry, but this was put out before the fire department reached the scene. The last call was fim the; Palace cafe, fire catching! around, the chimney from an over abundance of grease. This fire was also extin- guished before the hose cart arrived. Judge ‘B .F. Wright, of Park Rap- ids ,arrived here Tuesday morning to hold court in chambers, but as none were in readiness for trail yesterday the Judge took opportunity to visit the mimes and@ concentrating plant at Coleraine. Court work was taken up this morning.

IN EXCAVATING FOUND SAND PIT Problem of Obtaining Sand for Mc- Alpine Block Was Easily Solved. Some men are born lucky and oth- er seem to run into all the bad luck ‘that was ever heard of. Graham & Young, the contractors who are puild- ing the McAlpine block belong to the former class, without a doubt. In mak ing the excavations for the basement, a large sand pit was discovered and the sand was hauled, alongside the site to be used in mixing mortor. Thi resulted in a saving in two ways" First, it curtailed the cost of hauling away the dirt and, second, no ex+ penditure was necessary for hauling the sand. i The excavating is nearly completed and the work of laying the founda- tions will now be commenced. The mortar mixer ,one of the lat- est models, and other machinery was received Monday and is now in use. Slides have been built and soon the wheelbarrows will be carrying down the cement mixture, of which the foundations will consist,in an endless stream. The actual foundation work will be commenced tomorrow morn- ing.
