This il the first year that Crystal
Falls has ever been represented ~ the

together early in the spring aud
Determined Ia get up a team aud contest
for the prizes offered. They were aware
that they would have To contest witt
old t,ams-tenms that had been practic
inc for wears aud, who through, their
experience, learned inevcry contest since
the formation of the ussociation
were familiar with the work Il iact that

Gust Lundgren.
Our BOYS CARRIED off but one prize bu
the only reason that they did not CON
ont of the contest with at least thrt
nrizes can be laid 10 inexperience. The

when they were way ahead of their con
nct,tors hut neglected to do some neceI
sary thing winch they had plenty ot tin
todo. When these things are taken int
consideration We think that We nre just
