CARPENTER WON RACE;
LEBEAU CLAIMED FOUL
The Second Roller Skating Race for the Ch
the State Ended Rather Unsatisfactory. ....FinaI
Race Will Be Skated T, night

LeBeau held up his hands in pro-
test to the judges, continuing the
twenty-five laps, however. and finish
ing the race, evidently making no
effort to overtake Carpenter, who
had gained lead of ten feet while
LeBeau was attracting the attention
of the judges.
When Carpenter finished the
mile, LeBeau insisted on the allow
ance of his claim of foul, and Car
penter was equally emphatic in
claiming there had been no foul.
The judges decided there had been
no foul and gave the race to Car
penter, making a race to the credit
of each of the skaters, LeBeau
having won the first race, Tuesday
evening.
There was considerable disputing
after the race, LeBeau declaring
that he would not skate the final
race on Thursday evening if his
claim of foul was not allowed and he
was not awarded the race.
Carpenter offered to wager money
that his contention of no foul was
correct, but this only engendered
the bad blood between the two
skaters, and Carpenter left the rink,
LeBeau, however, continuing his
discussion with the judges for some
time.
The unsatisfactory manner in
which the race ended was dis
appointment to the crowd, and sug-
gestions were made that if another
race was skated, that the skaters be
started from opposite sides of the
rink, thus affording no opportunity
for foul on the small rink.

HAS GOOD WORD TO SAY
FOR BEMIDJI Elk LODGE
The Purple Book" Declares Local
B. P.O. E. Members to Be
the Best Ever.

Charles Hunt, in his Purple
Book" for this month, hands out the
following remarks concerning local
Elkdom:
"Bemidji Elks will give their first
Charity ball on the evening of De-
cember 5, and the unfortunate poor
families of the city will have reason
to remember the date, as all proceeds,
after deducting actual expenses, will
be expended in their relief. The
invited guests will consist of one
Elk and one friend for each member,
and care will be taken to make the
affair the finest socially ever given
in Beltrami county.
The occasion will be doubly Joy
Gus for the lodge, in that it marks
the first anniversary of its institu-
ton. The members can look back
over these twelve months with much
pride, for in it's wake is the story of
countless deeds we'll done, and for
the glory of the order and in the
cause of the great human brother
hood.
I'VE notice that Old Scout Rut-
ledge, editor of the Pioneer, has
recently been fitted with horns.
Well, he has been an Elk in disposi-
ton for many years, and all that
was required was for him to formally
take over the official title of brother.
1t looks different, now, doesn't it,
Old Scout? And it looks a vast
sight better, too, doesn't it? Never
had town such a booster as Bro.
Rutledge, for he has used columns of
space in setting forth the beauties
of his chosen city and in the advan-
cement of it's interests. He also
has done much for the order, and of
this every member of Bemidii lodge,
the most appreciative bunch we have
ever seen, is fully cognizant. Here's
to you, Doc. You can't make any
better Elk than you have always
been, even though you couldn't be-
fore join with us.

In speaking of the work the COM

The work of collecting this data
involves an immense amount of

The object of the trip is to ascertain

We measure platforms, buildings,

classifying them as to value.

''BIG BEMIDG" WILL PLAY
PARK RAPIDS ON FRIDAY
Local Basketball Team Will Have First
Contest on Schedule With
Outside Players.

The first basketball game in which
the big Bemidg" basketball team
will contest with an outside team
will be played in the Grand Opera
House skating rink next Friday
evening, when the local team will
have as opponents a Park Rapids
basketball five.
These teams played two games
last winter, both of which were won
by Bemidji, after a close and excit-
ing contest. This year the Bemidji
team is stronger than ever and Park
Rapids is said to have braced up
wonderfully in their play. There
are several old players in the Park
Rapids team, who are strong and
aggressive and who thoroughly
understand every point of the game.
They will undoubtedly give the
locals a run for their money"
The two teams are lined up as
follows:
Big Bemidg"-Heffron and H.
Cell, forwards; MARKHAM or Brown,
center; G. Peterson, Collins or
Brown, guards.
Park Rapids-Howe and Petrie,
forwards; Pierce, center; Ressler and
Gage, guards; subs, Benham and
Delaney.
Much interest is being taken in
the proposed game, as the Bemidji
team has a championship bee" in
its bonnet, and they have decided
to win the basketball championship
of northern Minnesota. Bemidji
has strong team and it is believed
that they will win the championship.
The game Friday night will be
called at 9 o'clock and there will be
skating before the game.
