VARSITY TRACK WORK.
Several Indoor Meets Will be
Held During the
Month.

Weekly Student: Track work for
the winter indoor meet was begun in
earnest this week. From now on every
evening between 1880 to $3.50 p. m.
the boys will practice in the armory.
Several meets will be held during the
winter months. These meets will help
the boys get in shape for the spring
campaign and will also bring out the
new material. The prospects for a
good track team next spring are mucn
better than they were last year. We
have several new men who have made
good in other schools and should land
points for the "U." The Varsity" in
door meet will probably be pulled off
in two or three weeks, and will be
followed shortly by the interdepart-
ment meet. The latter meet should
be a very close and interesting one,
as there are strong men in all the de-
partments. A dual meet with the
Grand Forks Y. M. G. A. will, in all
probability, take place some time in
February. Badges will be given the
winners of their respective events.
This should be an ,iducement to all
these interested in this line of athle-
tics and should bring out large
number of contestants.

SPORTS
SKATERS TO MEET
Smith Who Was Here q Short
While Ago and Others to
Compete.

Duluth Herald: Thursday night OF
this week, o. C. Thomson, the Duluth
boy who has been down at the 500
cleaning up all the skaters there this
season, took two straight laps from
Art Lyle, winning a two-mile heat by
over one lap and the half-mile by a
bare quarter lap. At this juncture
Lyle's skate went to the bad. and Carr
Alroth, who had been watching the
festivities offered to finish the race
by going the mile with Thomson. AL
roth pulled away from Thomson al
the start, but the latter hung on game
ly, and ut the end of the race was only
a couple OF feet to the bad.
Thomson expects to stack UP
against Ed Smith, who has just re-
turned from tour Of the Dakotas
with Norval Baptle, in which he
claims to have won eight straight
heats, and net encountered a man
who could out-skate him. The date
of this match has not been definitely
fixed, but Thomson says that he
hopes to arrange it for about Feb. 10.
Carl Alroith is said to have plenty
of hackers to cover Ranklin's money
for a race here, as his supporters
will back him for 500 at one mile,
5000 to two miles, $3.50, at three miles,
and so on up indefinitely, as they are
confident that every added mile gives
their man much better chance to
clean up the Copper country skater.
This practically assures this race
in the near future, as Rankin is
expected in town Sunday, and ar
engagements will probably be made for
the match early next week. 1t will be
a hot race, and there will be no
danger of fluking or fixed" result,
as there is none too kind feeling
between Rankin and Alrotn, and
each will do his best to clean up his
opponent.

Charles A. Bigelow, was taken ill anc

they would have to close the theatre.

A DENATURED ALCOHOL PLANT.
Deputy Revenue Collector L. G. French
Speaks OF Establishment.

Deputy Revenue Collector E. G. French
Speaks Of Establishment.
Brainerd Dispatch: Deputy Rev.
enue Collector E. G. French OF st.
Cloud, who was in the city on official
business a few days ago talked freely
to Dispatch representative regard
ing the establishment of denatured
alcohol plant In Brainerd and towns
of this size. He expressed his opin-
ion that there was good money and Il
great future in that industry. A plant
could be built, he said. at cost of
from $1,000 as high as one cared
to go.
He stated that the alcohol could be
made from pumpkins. corn. roots,
wood, potatoes or almost anything.
The most expensive part of the pro-
cess according to Mr.. French, is the
denaturing element. In other words
the ingredient put in to prevent the
alcohol being used in medicine and
the manufacture of beverages Wood
alcohol, was, he said one of the COM
monty used substance and according
to his understanding of the matter, in
4 place like Brainerd. where wood is
accessible. the denaturing material
could he made by the same plant.
Mr.. French was unable to give any
detailed information as to the cost of
manufacture etc., but said that there
was certainly great fortune for the
industry and in cities where the wood
for making wood alcohol was accessi-
bic the matter was certainly worth
thorough investigation.
