that regular weekly ball games be
given. II IL also thought that bi-
cycle MEETINGS could he arranged, 40
az to give some very interesting
races here.
One thing is certain, this city Is In
need uf kO'ue such park close to the
city. for there are many people here
who take great interest in amuse-
n,ents OF this kind. and 1t could br

would he shut down soon. There Is
nothing to sustain that rumOr. and
e.. A. Weyerhaeuser, manager OF the
company, states that the mills at
Little Falls will be running after the
other Northwestern mills have shut
down. The market is very dull, and
tits notsprpbabl that the mills will
run till the middle Of November, hut
there ia every probability that they
will run the usual full season.
The money market is now very
tight, and with the greatly decreased
sales many mill owners arecompelied
to stop the expense Of saving. 1t
takes a good deal of money to run Il
large saw mill, and when the market
gets too slack it becomes business
policy to close down some mills.
The Little Falls mills will, how
ever. run for some time regardless OF
the condition of the market.
