> Football
tie blows for the last time and the cham
pionship team is returned. In the middle
west, where enthusiasm runs quite as
high as in the east, and where, in the last
few years, the teams have tended more
and more to approximate the standard of
the east, the bulk of interest centers
about the big Nine" and the contests
which these leading colleges wage for
western supremacy Occasionally, a
western team has invaded the east. These
west VS. east contests have always
aroused much sectional feeling and each
year there is a desire among the western
college men to see the best team of the
big Nine" play the best team the east
puts forth. But the great and unfagging
interest in the game in the middle west
has been created and is maintained by the
games played between the teams resident
within this section. Ordinarily, Chicago
would rather beat Michigan than Har-
ward. Wisconsin cares more to beat Chi
cago than Yale, and so on. Michigan.
Chicago. Northwestern, Indiana, Purdue.
Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota
these have joined themselves into
conference. and delegated unto them
selves the term big Nine" Each OF
these colleges cannot play with all the
others in a given year, but the schedules
are usually so arranged as to make the
selection of premier team virtual GER
tainty. Within the past few years big
Four" consisting of Chicago, Michigan,
Wisconsin and Minnesota, has developed
within the big Nine" II does not seem
probable, however that this big Four"
will last in football. This year It seems
certain that at least three more of the
colleges-Illinois, Northwest
ern and Purdue-will be strong conten-
ders for the much-coveted first place.

NORTH DAKOTA HAPPENINGS
EVENTS OF A WEEK THROUGH
oUrTHE STATE.
Fargo Commercial Club Will Protest
Against Removal of the North.
ern Pacific Shops to
Jamestown.

The Fargo Commercial club is to
hold meeting to draft resolutions
protesting against the removal of the
Northern Pacific shops to Jamestown.
The proposition to move the shops has
been made on the ground of a more
convenient location. as jamestown is
the center of the Dakota division and
the terminus of two branch lines. Up
to nine years ago jamestown was the
headquarters of the master mechanic,
when 1t was moved to Fargo. Recently
an order was promulgated changing
the headquarters back to jamestown
and also announcing the removal of
the shops. Fargo business men have
always been extremely liberal with the
Northern Pacific. so much so that prior
to the merger the resentment of the
Great Northern was incurred by the
favoritism shown the "old pinoeer
line" In return for this the business
men feel that it is i'll treatment to re.
move the shops and many are extreme.
ly indignant. The matter will be pre-.
sented to the company in a proper
light and an effort made to have it re.
considered before any retaliatory &C.
tion is taken.

thracite coal supply.

SAIdCAlS COd1 supply.
The situation has reached an acute
stage and has resulted in great suffer.
ing and hardship to the poor of the
cities. whose earnings are insufic lent
to enable them to pay the excessive
prices now being charged for fuel, and
it is subiecting the general public to
great inconvenience.
ITO relieve the situation and allie
viate, as far as possible, the suffering
now being endured, is the duty of
everyone connected with the produc.
tion of coal. With this end in view,
we are prompted to address this COM
munication to all members of our
union and request they cooperate with
the management of the mines in an
effort to increase the production of
coal. The gravity of the situation is
such as to require that every mine
worker shall exert himself and use
every means at his command to this
end.
Upon reading this communication
in the columns of the daily papers,
local unions should hold meetings and
devise means whereby the daily out
put of the mines may be increased.
These efforts should be continued until
the weather moderates and the great
necessity for fuel shall have passed."
