FAST BASE BALL
PROMISED
z
Trio of Northern League
Officials in Town
This Morning.
TAKES MONEY TO MAKE THE
MARE &c, HOWEVER. ,...:'..'--.
Bemidji Can Get Good Baseball,
But II Must Guarantee
Expense Ends.

ID. j. Laxdahl, of Cavalier,
N. d., president Of the Northern
League, d. I'll. Kent, Of Grand
Forks, and w. S. Lycan, of
CrooSston, are in the city today
for the purpose=of arranging for
the base ball which Bemidji will
have this year at the hands Of the
northern league.
All three gentlemen returned
this afternoon and while all the
details are not adjusted it is a
settled fact that Bemidji will
have at least tenof the schedule
games of the Northern league
during the coming summer.
The league officials asked for a
9 guarantee of expenses. The
league this year is made up Of
the fastest teams, and in some
respects, some of the most ex-
pensive teams it has ever had
and the most careful manage
ment will be required to let the
association out whole financially.
There will be no trouble about
giving Bemidji all the base ball it
wants but the league officials
feel that a guarantee is only
right and ask this from the city.
The game has always been well
patronized here and there is but
little doubt that the patronage
will be up to the usual high
standard this year.
A committee will take the mat
ter Of a guarantee up with the
business public some time this
week. The schedule Of games
is not yet definitely arranged
but there will be a number Of
Sunday events and besides this
there will be good games here
on the occasion Of the several ex-
cursions which will come from
Northwestern points in June.

journal published in Minneapolis,
in discussing the water supply
Of various cities and the propaga-
ton of contagion as the result OF
an impure water supply held up
the case of Bemidji as one of the
most fragrant outrages upon SAM
tary conditions that was toler-
ated anywhere 1.-THE country.
The Lancet was not, however,
familiar with the conditions
under which the samples were
taken.
Those who have spent some
time in informing themselves on
the matter say that the well
water of the city is as a rule as
good as any in the country, while
the city supply may be impure
or was at least at the time Of the
last analysis.
The state chemists report
this time should settle the mat
ter definitely. The samples haye.

the end that the test may be a
