THEY SHOULD GET TOGETHER
w. j. Price Ii Fargo Thinks Fair
Managers should sink their DIFF.
ferences and Settle Date
Matter.

Regarding the trouble between
Grand Forks and Fargo anent the mui-
die in dates for the fairs, w. ]. Price
of that city president of the Fargo
Plumbing and Heating company says:
at is too bad that some suitable
dates cannot be arranged between the
management OF the fair association at
Grand Forks and our fair management
here relative to the holding of the
state and county fairs in the respect
i've cities. / am not conversant with
the controversy between President
Hunter of Grand Forks and Secretary
Wilson of this city, but, if the right
spirit is shown by these officers some
amicable arrangements can be arriv-
ed at and the people Of both cities sat
isfied We want no conflicting dates.
"The mistake was made of putting
the state fair on wheels. Now, there
can be no honest and friendly rivalry
between Grand Forks and Fargo and
eventually it will be survival of tho
fittest. Bandying words back and
forth will do no good now. We have
a condition to confront and not {.
theory Let the different managers
get together, sink personal and petty
grievances and boost for North Da-
kota."

may LOCATE IN FARGO
Grand Forks Business Men mt Fargo
With a View Of Opening a Large
Confectionery Store.

Fargo Forum: In the near future
another business enterprise of con-
siderable Importance is to be started
in Fargo. o. Hepp and P. Kapsallis
OF Grand Forks are now in this city
looking for suitable location with the
object of starting large confection-
airy and fruit store. They are the pro-
prietors of the Greek-American at
Grand Forks and have for some time
been seeking chance to establish a
store here, but storeroom is so scarce
in Fargo that they have experienced
great difficulty in securing good loca-
ton for their business. Mr.. Kapsall!s
stated today, however, that he hoped
soon to overcome this obstacle, and
would open for business as soon as
possible.

GAME At BEMIDJI.

Bemidji, Mimi, Feb. "A basket
ball game will be played here Friday
evening between the girls team of the
Bemidji High school and the Park
Rapids High girls. AS side issue"
there will be game between the fire
department five and the reail clerks
team.
The game between the two girls
teams gives promise to being an ex-
citing contest. The Park Rapids Highs
have the reputation of being very
clever at the game, while the local con-
tignent have demonstrated that they
are very we'll versed in the rudiments
of basketball, and are willing to try
conclusions with the girls from the
Rapids" Harry Cell, coach for the
girls, has been giving his charges some
hard practice.

SEVEN CITIES ARE
PICKED FOR
NANCY
Grand Forks One of the Cities
Being Figured Upon by
League Men.

Marquette, Mich, Feb. 1T is en-
pected that at the annual meeting of
the Northern-Copper Country baseball
league the circuit for the coming sea-
son will be pretty we'll defined. Just
what cities will make up the league
this year will not be known until the
magnates confer. but the report that
Marquette and Ishpeming will apply
for franchises is entirely unfounded.
Baseball has been dead in Marquette
for some years, or ever since the re-
form element put a stop to Sunday
games, and it is not at all likely that
local men could be induced to furnish
cash sufficient to put 1,5OO-a-month
club in the field.
Without Sunday ball the profession
al game could not hope to exist here,
and, besides, the present ball grounds
are too remote from the center of the
city to assure of a profitable attend
ance. There is no particular enthus-
iasm at Ishpeming over the national
game. although with the Union park
grounds midway between that city and
Negaunee, three miles distant, Sum
day ball would be permissible.
AS it looks now the Northern-C Copper
Country league will be made up next
season of Winnipeg, Duluth, Fargo,
Grand Forks, Houghton, Calumet,
Lake Linden and another town vet to
be named to take over the Hancock
franchise There has been some talk
to the effect that Iron Mountain was
knocking at the door, but this also is
mistake. Baseball is dead in the
Menominee iron range metropolis, and,
in any event, the population is too
small to support a league aggregation.
Calumet will have a new manager
this year, Morrison having accepted
berth in the new Western Canada
league

provides for the seizure and confisca-
ton of intoxicating liquors being i'm
ported into the state in violation of
the law. The bill follows:
Section 1. Whenever, any peace Of

Section 2. Upon receiving notice
of the seizure of such intoxicating
liquors the states attorney shall i'm
mediately make an investigation and

ing liquors so seized to be destroyed.
Section. 3. Proof of the finding of
such intoxicating liquors in unusual
quantities shall have presumptive evil
dence that intoxicating liquor was i'm
ported for sale in violation of law.
Emergency. Whereas, there is no
adequate law providing for the seiz-
ure and confiscation of Intoxicating
liquors imported into the state in vio-
lation of law, therefore this act shall
take effect and be in force and after
the date of it's passage and approval.

Cummins made ambitions effort to
reach the senate without the bother of
service in subordinate place. He was
candidate before the general as
sembly iii 1894. In his campaign the
year before-the year in which the
panic broke-he sought support AS an
advocate of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver His Gorrell ,etter
was written while congress was in
session, under call of President Cleve-
land, TO repeal the silver purchase
clause Of the Sherman act. He was a
candidate again in 1900 His candi-
dacy Slice 1898 has been continuous.
Prior to 1892 he was in rebellions
against his party, and he had antici-
patton that he would be quickly re.
warded when he returned to the fold.
He was bitterly disappointed in 1900.
In the unofficial announcement of his
candidacy against Allison, made
May 29th of this year-an announce

wanted TO be governor for the distinc

spring of 1901, the announcement
set forth, the friends of Gov. Cum
minis issued IL statement in which
they called attention to the fact that
the chief argument used against his
election to the senate heretofore was
that he had served the people neither
as go vernon nor congressman, and il
was against political usage in Iowa
TO elevate an outsider TO the senator
ship. In view of this fact they said
they wocld present Mr. Cummins
that year as candidate for the gov.
ernorship. The plan was to destroy
