The railroads intend that the

A certain big road, which
covers the Dakotas and Northern

"You are more or less familiar

of the town board held last Sat
urday for the purpose of letting
the contract for the construction
of a piece of road west of town
the entire road was let to S..
Bjorge of Inez, Minn,, at $3.50 a
mile. Several bids were sub
mitted, both for the construc-

different parts of same. All the
bids were considered carefully,
but it Was found that the bid of
Mr.. Bjorge was $67 lower per
mile than the combined bids OF
the other bidders.
Mr.. Bjorge will at once bring
his entire outfit to Kelliher to
commence active operations, and
proposes to have the road com.
pleted by mid summer.
On May 18 the board will con-

Bemidji Is Ready to Go Ahead With the

NOT BELIEVED GRAND FORKS

Many Letters Have Been Received
From Players Who Want to
Come Here.

Despite the general opinion
that seems to prevail in some of
the cities that were to form the
proposed Prairie Baseball League
that the formation of the league
has fallen through, it is not be-
lieved in Bemidji that the or
ganization will not be a ''go.''
F. S. Lycan of this city, who
has been one of the prime NOV
ers in the organization of the
proposed league, says concern
ing the situation:
;'Judging from the last letter
given out by W. J. Price Of Fargo

assisting the promoters of the
league) that there was no inter.

sForks will yet come into line

sRelative to the statement that
Sunday ball would not be toler.

Grand Forks, I believe that the
boys over On tie Ruby coui3
find a way around that also, by
playing outside the limits Of
either city.
"Bemldji is waiting for the
final effort to place the matter
before the Forks people in its
true light, before Withdrawing
from the organization. The
league as proposed would be
compact and easily handled, and
there is no reason why good bal

Edmund G. Walton, Manager ToWnsite
international Falls Will Bet on
Completion of Line.
MINNESOTA & INTERNATIONAL
EXTENSION is BEING RUSHED
Dempsey & Dougherty, Contractors,
Say Grade Will Be Completed Not
Later Than JuIy1.

international Falls Echo: The
steel on the M. & ]. has been
laid to a branch of Bear River,
about six miles this side of Big
Falls, where short delay is be-
ing caused by the driving of pill
ing for a bridge. There will be
one or two other small bridges
that will have to be put IN before
the road reaches the Little Fork
river, but they will require but
little time. A large force of men
is completing the gaps in the
roadbed between the two rivers,
and it is rot thought that the lat
ter will interfere with the speedy
com pletion of that part of the
road. The prediction was made
that Littlefork would see the
cars by the 10th of this month
but the delay in getting spikes
will render it impossible to COM
plete that section of the road
until about fifteen days later.
The company now has sufficient
steel and spikes on the ground
at Big Falls to finish the exten-
sion to this point, so there will
be 40 more delay from that
source.
There are some of our citi-
zens to hold to the idea that the
NJ. & I. cannot be completed
in time for train service
during the month of July.
They perhaps do not realize the
responsibility and resourceful-
ness Of the contractors, and have
not seen the preparations which
they have made for the carrying
on of the work. The following
copy of a letter written by the
contracto rs to Edmund G.. Wal
ton, manager of the townsite of
international Falls, will be of In
terest in this connection.
Minneapolis, April 29, 1907.
Mr.. Edmund G.. Walton,
Minneapolis, MINI.
Dear Sir:
Regarding your inquiry as to
when the grading from Big Falls
to international Falls would be
completed, would say that with
favorable weather and conditions,
we expect to complete the grad
ing on the new line by July 1st.
Yours truly,
Dempsey & Dougherty.
So confident is Mr.. Walton
that Northern Pacific trains will
be running into our town during
the month of July that he is will

wager in the sum of $50 and has
authorized us to make the same
for him, in case there is
