dy" has already demonstrated that
he is better this year than last,
which means the best box artist in
the north half of the state.
Ripley, former member of the
Superior Northern league team, will
play on first base. He is a hard
hitter and fast fielder, and thor
oughly understands the game.
Roy Govro, the crack second
baseman for last years Blackjack
team, will play the same position
with Bemidji.
Graham, a new man, will play
short. He is we'll recommended.
Old reliable John Riddell will
cover third base. "Reddy'' is always
good. .
Collins will oficiate in left field,
and there are none better.
Otto is slated for centerfeld. He
is a hard hitter and good in all
points.
Roy Carlton, the youngster who
played good ball as a substitute with
last years team, will chase flies in
right field the sun garden" on the
local grounds.
Arrangements are being made for
the opening game on Sunday. Either
the Crookston, Park Rapids or Deer
River teams will play here.

day for the purpose of making the
trip from this city, but they found
when they reached here that the
, most feasible route to the park
would be from Park Rapids, 50 de-
cided on going that way.
When it was learned that the legis-
lators were here, they were visited
by a number of the residents of the
city and E. p. Mcdonald, whowhen
he resided in St. Paul was member
of the house for several years, took
the gentlemen for a drive about the
city, visiting the site which Bemidji
proposed giving for the normal
school and also taking note of the
solidity of the city in general
While the gentlemen would say
but little concerning their impress
sions of Bemidji, enough was freely
stated that would indicate beyond a
doubt that they were very favorably
impressed with the proposed site
and it's very desirable surroundings
which borders on Lake Bemidji at
one of it's most beautiful points.
In discussing the matter of the
school, Mr.. Adams stated that while
the bill for the establishment of the
school was killed last winter, it was
altogether probable that an apIros
priation would be made for school
at the next session, and he intimated
that his companions were very
friendly to Bemidji and that he,
personally, would vote for this city,.
Messrs. Adams, Putnam and Glot-
felter left this morning for Park
Rapids and will 60 from there to

the northwestern part of Hubbard
county, about thirty-fve miles south

International Falls Press: Chief
Engineer Huss and Contractor
Dougherty of the M. & I. are in town
today and report rapid progress in
the construction work along the

seven miles of grade completed and
his entire force at work on this end.
About $50 men are employed on the
grade and laying track and by put

end after July 1st they expect to
be able to proceed with the work of
track laying at the rate of three
quarters of mile per day..
Under ordinary circumstances
we will reach international Falls
some time in july" says Mr.. Huss.
The frost is not all out of the

with many unforeseen difficulties in
laying track since leaving Big Falls.
However all those difficulties will be
overcome when we cross the Little

any difficulties whatever

looked over the proposed site for a

the most prominent members of the

The lawmakers had met at the
home of Mr.. Adams, at Little Falls,
and it was decided that they would
visit some of the state institutions

normal school.
They went to Crookston and look

they saw.

self Two Wives.

Louis N. Nolan of Spooner was
yesterday sentenced to serve term
of two years in the penitentiary at
Saltwater, on the charge of bigamy,
to which he was allowed to plead
guilty before NJ. A. Spooner, judge
of the district court for Beltrami
county.
Nolan was arrested at Spooner
May 23rd, County Attorney Funkley
having issued a warrant, charging
Nolan with bigamy. Nolan was
given a preliminary hearing and
bound over to await the action of
the next grand jury, at the fall term
of court, in November.
Nolan, a few days ago, requested
to be allowed to plead guilty to the
charge. Under the law adopted
1905, whenever the county attorney
will file the necessary information
relative to a case, and the prisoner
consents to plead guilty to the
charge, he may make his plea at any
time before the judge of the district
court and receive his sentence, do
ing away with the tedious wait for
the action of the grand jury. No
Ian was allowed to plead guilty to
the charge of bigamy, yesterday
afternoon, and Judge Spooner SEN
fenced him to serve term of two
years in the penitentiary.
According to the information in
the possession of the county officials,
Nolan lived at Thief River Falls
with woman whom he married,
and who bore him several children.
The family lived at Thief River until
five years ago, when there was a
mutual separation.
Nolan went from Thief River Falls
to International Falls. Last fall he
married another woman, at Inter
national Falls, the license being is
sued from that place. The couple
made their home in Spooner until
this spring, when the attention of
the authorities was called to the al
legged fact that Nolan had committed
bigamy, as he had another wife liv-
ing and had not secured a divorce
from Mrs. Nolan No. before mar
rying Mrs. Nolan No. 9. His arrest
followed.

LOS ANGELES SPIRIT

IN excellent proof Of the power of
u the Los Angeles spirit in the peo-
- Pies welfare was afforded Thurs
tax of s250.OO0 was recorded. While
the vote was small in its total the
majority for the tax was phenomenal,
when it is remembered that a s23, 3,OOO,-
900 bond issue passed only a few weeks
since.
Visitors from other large cities note
and wonder at these evidences of civic
responsibility in the people and accept
them as gilt-edged proof of prosperity,
present and to come, for this section.
Herein lies an effective lesson to
those who would see Los Angeles pros
per- The bare assertion or assump-
ton of prosperous conditions fails to
tell upon prospective locators, while
an act embodying personal sacrifice
or service will reach them instanter.
1t is not what we say but what we
do that counts, and the effect for good
upon watchful people in the east of
the overwhelming vote for a large
special school tax will be greater than
all the boosting literature printed,
good as that really is. The class of
people desirable as permanent settlers
is made up of men and women who
have met and know all the problems
of metropolitan life, and who, having
life's savings to invest, are keenly
alive to measures involving sacrifice
for the public good, as against meas
ures intended to lure them hitherward,
based only on the asset of climate.
But for the men of purpose and will
who hold the lines on public policy
in Los Angeles the peerless climate
would be impotent to draw permanent
settlers.
The lesson, then, is to cultivate the
dominant spirit of civic responsibility
in all classes, leaving the assured re-
suits to answer for the wisdom of that
course; awaken by all effective ard
honorable means the public-spirited
purpose so long powerful in develop
ment in the few, in the breasts OF
many. and let it be known by actions
rather than words that the Los An
geles spirit is the most valuable asse;
we have.

severally and individually, and the
peace they desire; and all the world,
especially the United States and Mex

Founded as states with independent
governments when population was
sparse and ignorant and power was in
the few with wealth; utterly lacking
in school or other facilities for edu-
eating and uplifting the people; cir

power of developing a foreign trade;
harassed by internal and interstate
warfare. the whole section is today
unproductive as to business and COM
merce and unsafe as to residence.
Nominally Independent as republics
their public affairs have been exploited
by greedy capitalists of all nations,
till a political condition has arisen that
is intricate and troublesome in the
highest degree.
While there was a probability of a
canal through Nicaragua by way of
the lake of that name, and therefore
a possible dominance by the United
States government of the whole Cen
trail American country, there was hope
of an ultimate coalition of all the
states on a basis of mutual helpful
ness. but Panama being chosen for the
waterway the central states were con-
signed to their normal condition of
trade centers, a prey to
internal dissensions, and. as outside the
path of modern commercial progress,
all of which is magnified by their geo
graphical position.

has developed in recent years are ap-
plicable to these petty states, and the
possible trouble they may cause to the
