Base ball tomorrow afternoon: Cava

lier vs.. Langdon. These teams play an
other game here Saturday afternoon
On Monday they make a trip to Devils
Lake and Lakota playing two games at
the former place and one at the later.
These with the addition of two games
with Milton to be arranged after their
return home will close up Langdon's
schedule for the season. They are all
league games.
At the Office of Co. Supt Macdonald
figures are this week being compiled that
60 to show what progress has been made
during the past year iu the educational
matters in this county. The report is as
yet in unfinished shape yet there is
enough to show that we have 1O1 schools
in the county, an increase of IL over last
year. These schools are located in "a
districts. three of which have been estab.
lished since the last report was gotten
| out 1t is also shown that at the school
census taken in June it was sfound that
Cavalier county had school population
of 4, 1873, divided as follows: boys 2,142
girls 1919 gain during the year of over
fourteen per cent
Last Saturday afternoon the trustees
OF Lebanon Lodge A. F. & A. NJ. let the
contract for the building of the Masonic
Temple to Contractor Jas. Loynes. His
bid was $500, and lower by several hun
drsd dollars than that of parties from
both the Forks and Fargo. The site is
on the corner Of Spruce and Fourth
street opposite the Prinyer building.
The ground plan will be 5oxSO with a
front about 30 feet in height. The plan
of construction fits up the building ex
clusively for lodge purposes and though
the brick and masonry work will be fin
ished before November it is not expected
that the carpenter work and other detail
will be completed much before the end
of the year.
Those Fargo papers are not through
yet rubbing it into the Grand Forks base
ball teana about the game lost to Lang
don with score Of 25 to IL. The Fargo
Call says: The balloon went up in Grand
Forks and took the Grand Forks ball
team with it. And "there's nothing do.
ing" IN Grand Forks ball circles since.
1t was awful-it was worse than that-it
was % to IL IN favor of Langdon. And
Gregory in the box. The Langdonites
didn't do thing to him, nothing but
seventeen hits. Grand Forks piled up
an even dozen errors. But the Forks
people have the glorious satisfaction of
knowing that they have been part1ceps
criminls to the establishing of a new re-
eord--the Langdon boys made sixteen
runs IN the sixth inning. Gregory and
Chandler were the battery for Grand
Forks and Kennedy and Conwell for
Langden.
From now on until the schedule Of
league games for the season closes some
exciting times are in store for the base
ball fans Last Friday afternoon Lang
don played two games on the down town
diamond, the visitors being from Caya-
lier. The weather had been damp and
unpromising for couple of days but a
fast game in each case resulted i. a
crowd OF spectators that would have
made the management feel good had tho
gate receipts been attainable. The first
game. pitched by Brenna for the home
team was easily won with score Of 7 TO
II and had as an especial feature q
triple unaselsted play at short by Allie
Berg. There were base runners on second
and third when the batsman knocked
out what looked to he safe hit. Allie
jumped high in the cir, caught the Ay.
touched the man running from second
to third and then reached the third bag
before the base runner, who had started
for the home plate, could get back.
The second game both teams changed
pitchers and went ont into the field
again and played seven iDniDgs in which
