MINNESOTA TO THE FORE.

The work done thus far by the
football team of the university OF
Minnesota shows clearly that the
eleven of Minnesota this year is
cast in championship mould, and
lovers of the greats ridiron game
hope that Minnesota may once
more carry off the honors among
the "big nine. = The scores
made this season so far by
Minnesota against her opponents
have been better than those
made by any other OF the big
elevens, and the score of. AS to 0
against Ames, which actually en-
tertained hopes of winning, shows
that Minnesota is stronger than
has been supposed. The game
of football is a great game, the
state "U'' is a great school, and
Minnesota is great state. The
state has a habit of getting to the
front in everything: it is a habit
that can not be too much Guilt
waited, and we hope to see the
football season close with the
championship honors clearly won
by the husky boys from Mime

DAY OF DEVELOPMENT.

Nothing in the present day
history of Minnesota is more re-
markable than the rapid devel.
opment of this northern country.
Settlers are focking northward
by the thousands, and still there
is room for tens Of thousands.
Eight years ago Bemidji existed
principally on paper, and the pine
woods surrounding it were a
wilderness seldom trod by the
foot of man. Today this same
territory supports a happy,
prosperous population which is
daily growing greater as the
possibilities of this vast region
become better understood.
It is safe to say that the move,
ment northward will increase in
volume for many Years to come
Northern Minnesota can support
a population of hundreds OF
thousands, where today there are
but hundreds simply. The people
of Iowa. Illinois and further east
are beginning to understand and
are consequently setting their
faces this way in increasing
numbers.
The importance of Northern
Minnesota is attested by the
part it plays in the life Of the
state. Although yet but sparsely
settled, comparatively speaking,
the newspapers of the state TEEN
with it's news, and the entire
state is an interested spectator
in the Developments of it's north
ern part.
