little more than treasurer, and he
would not come under those condi-
tons.
The talk of working St. Paul and
Minneapolis into the circuit is gen.
orally considered to be visionary.
St. Paul and Minneapolis have never
been any too good ball towns, and in
former years there has been more or
less complaint from the other associa-
ton cities regarding the attendance in
the Twins, especially in the smaller
OF the two.
Two more professional league teams
in the Twin cities might prove good
training grounds for the promising
youngsters, and by working the two
clubs the Twin City magnates might
make more money than they are at
present, but the other clubs in the
association have something to say in
regard to the proposed invasion of
the Northern and Copper country
league. The majority of them will
undoubtedly buck the proposition, and
when it comes before the association
meeting. there is not much chance of
it going through. Without the con-
sent of the other clubs, the Northern
and Copper Country league could not,
of course, invade the Twin Cities un-
less outlaw ball was played, as this
would certainly not be considered at
this time, when the outlaw leagues
are trying to fix up their difficulties
with organized ball.
The Copper country towns will, in
all probability, stick with the league
next season. The Lake Linden AMI
Houghton arrangements refuse to be
dropped, and even Hancock, which
was forced to quit before the end of
las season, refuses to relinquish it's
franchise in the league.
All of the clubs are going ahead
with the work IF signing players, and
show a decided intention to stay with
the game in 1907.
Four teams are too many for the
Copper country to support, and even
three is great plenty. If. one OF
the three could be dropped it would
be a good thing for the league.
The circuit question once more
promises to be the most important
one to come before the board of d.
rectors.
1t is the same old problem that has
confronted the league for several
years. There are three good ball
towns in the present circuit, Winni-
peg. Duluth and Calumet. Either
three or five more will have to be
selected to make a six or an eight
club league. Grand Forks and Fargo
will do nicely. When their popula-
ton is taken into consideration they
are good ball towns, and form a good
halfway place between Duluth and
Winnipeg. Grand Forks was unfor-
tunate last year, and the team went
into the field without proper backing
and with very weak and disorgan-
lied lineup. With a good team
however, Grand Forks is as good q
ball town as Fargo, and that means
that the club can break even, and
possibly make money.
The rest of the circuit cannot be
settled until after the league meeting
and the league meeting will not bt
held until after the American associa'
ton magnates get together and finally
pass upon the question Of allowing
Minneapolis and st. Paul to come init
the circuit. Failing the Twin Cities
the circuit will probably remain as a
present constituted, with either Ash
land. saltwater or Superior taking
the place of Hancock.

Now that It is a certainty that
there will be a river race track here
this winter, the track followers Will

CHAMPION BAPT|E
WILL SKATE
TO-DAY
He is in Fine Condition
Worlds Records Are Made
by This Man.

Norval Baptie, the championship
skater of the world is in Grand Forks
and this evening he will skate at the
Belmont ice rink. This is his first
appearance in public this year.
Baptie, whose work on skates has
astonished the sporting world, is a
North Dakota product. He was born
and raised at Bathgate, and at the
age of 16, he won the championship
of North Dakota. He has been skat-
ing for seventeen years, and had his
first experience on Tongue river,
which runs through Bathgate.
He first entered the worlds cham
pionship race at Montreal in 1899,
when he finished in second place. In
1905, he won first, and was proclaimed
champion of skaters. Baptie expects
to enter the races at Montreal this
year. He has number of exhibition
events to be pulled off in this state,
Minnesota and Manitoba and will then
proceed east.
The records made by Baptie are as
follows:
Indoor Tracks, Standing Start.
Fifty yards, 52-5 seconds.
Half mile, nine lap track, 1:1S 2-5
at Pittsburg, March u, 1906.
One mile, sixteen lap track, 1853 is,
Walkerton, Ont, 1900.
Out Door Straight Away.
One-fourth mile, 2S1-5 seconds,
Lake Minnetonka.
Half mile, 1902 seconds, Lake
Minnetonka.
This year Baptie feels that he is
going to do even better. He is in
first class shape, and his work during
the year will be watched with interest
by Grand Forks admirers.

Saturday night at the Mecca Cafe
was given a reception in honor of the
twenty-Hrst birthday of one of our
popular girls, Miss Gertrude NJ. P.
Bass. 1t was simply superb. The
Mecca even outdid its own unrivaled
reputation for decorations in honor of
the event. And the ladies'. words fail
to do justice to their charms of feature
and costume. Miss Bass was gorgeous
in black lace gown, spangled with
Colorado stones. She led the guests,
closely followed by Mrs. Holmes in
her white dress, with brilliant stones
giving the ruby and emerald effect;
Miss Florence Crawford wore a purple
zibelyne with pearl ornam nts, while
Mrs. ID. W. Lacey was attired in her
black peau de sole, which was a match
for the diamonds she wore. The deco
rations of red, which we're much in
evidence, especially the blood-red dol
lies, with large red ribbons streaming
from the cluster of red lights hanging
over the table, made it appear a para
disc in Dreamland. Each plate had be-
side ii a souvenir which bore these
words: "A long life and merry one, :"
with a wishbone tied to a card by red
ribbon. In the center of the table
were large roses of red, with red car

Large Sum

old. who recently called at the Treasury
Department and stated that she had come
for $15,0O0,o00 which she said was due to
her from the Secretary of the Treasury,
was today sent To the Government Hospital
for the Insane for treatment. When the
money she demanded was not paid over
to her on the occasion of her first visit to
the treasury. she went away. promising to
call again. This morning about 0 o'clock
she called again and told the officials there
that she was willing to compromise on $o.-
100000, provided the money was given to
her in Panama bonds The police were
notified and the woman was turned over
to the sanitary officer. He ordered her re-
moved to the house of detention, where

dition. After his examination he recon-
mended that she be sent to ST. Elizabeth

freight In order that it might be put IN
transit properly. Such fast freights are In
operation in all Of the cities surrounding
the capital. Baltimore has such fast
freight over the various lines leaving there
in all directions
Merchants here who send away goods By
freight make their deliveries to the freight
depots at all sorts Of hours They are
placed in freight cars and remain there un-
til the car Is loaded. This sometimes
means a delay of several days. with such
conditions existing 1t cannot be expected
that the Washington wholesalers can sue
cessfully compete with those of Baltimore
or even Alexandria. Railroads will not do
business at loss If they can help 1t, any
more than merchant will sell at a loss.
The railroads would be doing business at
loss should they put In transit parity hfied
freight cars.
1t Is the belief of business men with
the railroads would consent to put on
scheduled fast freight trains as an exper-
iment and continue them should the
project prove to be successful.
1t was coincidently remarked by one BUS
mess man that Alexandria has quite an
active tobbing trade and that eight or ten
carloads of freight are sent out from that
city every day. He spoke OF the dlhcuIty
andria with the arbitrary extra freight and
terminal charges. He said Washington
wanted a through rate to points beyond
Alexandria the same as that city now has,
and mentioned the fact that many govern
ment clerks and others who live in suburb
