ing man can find excellent ac-
commodations at hotels and res
taurants; we'll edited daily and
weekly papers give all the news
Of local and general interest.
The census just completed shows
a population of $500, large in
crease within the past few years
and one which, if continued, will
soon give the city 10000 people.
Bemidji is already a notable
business place and is destined
by reason of it's location and the
fact that SO many railroads CEN
ter here and because others are
coming, to become the basis of
distribution to vast and rapidly
developing territory. AS the
surrounding forests of pine,
balsam, spruce, pulpwood, birch
and other woods disappear be-
fore the steady march Of the
''lumber jack" and logger, the
lands come into the market as
farming lands and are not only
being eagerly sought for, but are
purchased in large quantities by
companies and syndicates, who
readily dispose of them at rea-
sonable prices to emigrants and
settlers, who are coming into
this part Of the state in large
numbers.
These sscut over" lands are
rich in soil and very productive,
producing, under cultivation,
corn, oats, clover, timothy, wheat,
potatoes and all kinds of vege-
tables, as we'll as large crops of
strawberries. AS the lands are
cleared, the farming industry is
steadily and rapidly developing
and northern Minnesota is evi-
IDENTIFY destined to become the
farmers paradise. With the
disappearance of the vast forests
go the wild animals, and though
they are still found in numbers
not many miles north of here,
but few, if any, moose, elk, bear
or deer can be found in this i'm.
mediate vicinity, while the lakes
which once teemed with all va
rieties of fish fail to furnish the
angler with his old, time sport.

Grand Forks, N. D., May 3rd.
Especial to Pioneer )-There
has been absolutely no move
made by the fans toward the or
ganization of team to represent
Grand Forks and East Grand
Forks. No meeting has been
called and there appears to be
no head or tail to the situation.
When the news reached this city
that w. J. Price had thrown up
the sponge on account of the
lack of enthusiasm there ap,
peared to be not the least re-
gret.
There is no bali park here, and
it is a question whether a team
could be pushed through the
season. 1t was planned to have
the games played on the east
side, where Sunday ball might
be pulled of, but damper was
put on that an at early date.
AS the baseball season will
soon be on again it might be well
for the fans to become acquainted
with the changes in the rules for
the year 1907. Here are some OF
the most important changes: A
batsman becomes a base runner
if the catcher interferes with
him in any way while be is strik.
ing at pitched ball; if the sec.
ond of two base runners passes
the other while the first base
runner is being Tagged" out
the base runner who passes is tc
be declared out; batter will be
declared out if he steps from one
batsman's box into the other
after the pitcher has taken his
position in the box; only pitchers
are allowed to take the gloss of
the ball and other players who
do so are liable to a fine of $5 fol
each Offense. .-.

had ball team that was one
of the best in the state mot
barring the Minneapolis and St.
Paul professional teams of the
American association has, reor-
ganized for the coming year. The
Hibbing Tribune says of the
range town team that has defeat
ed everything in sight during
the past three years.
"Winnipeg, which is pretty
nearly the best ball town on the
continent, has invited the
Hibbing base ball club to open
the season there with a series of
three games, May 9, 10 and 11th
and Manager Brady has accept.
ed. The contract for these
games shows the estimation in
which the Hibbing team is
held, for Winnipeg is one of the
hottest ball towns in the country
and is content with nothing but
the best.
"The schedule of the Hibbing
team as far as made at present
calls for several games immedi-
ately following the Winnipeg
series. May 12 a game will
be played at Saltwater, while on
the IA and Is the Houghton Nor.
thern League team will be taken
on here for probably three
games. The following Sunday,
May 10, the Bemidji team viii
play in Hibbing.
The first game of the season
here will be with the Kelly Hard
! ware team Of Duluth and the Du-
luth aggregation is already prac-
ticing for the event. In announc-
ing the game few days ago. the
Duluth Herald said that Hibbing
had been practicing fer some
time, but the fact is that the ice
still cover the Hibbing diamond
and the team has not so much
as had a ball in it's hands yet this
year. The Herald also calls the
Hibbing nine, professionals"
whereas not a man on the team
receives a salary and every one,
except Brick Freeman is a bona
fde resident of Hibbing,
The lineup of the Hibbing
team for the season is complete
and is as follows: Red Carol,
catcher; Ed Freeman, D. M.
Booth. Buck Wester, Roy Arm
old, pitchers; F. Kleffman, first
base; Billie Head, second base;
J..J. Kerr, third base; Chas. CAL
ligan, short stop; Bobby Geisel-
man, center field.
"The other fielding positions
will be supplied by one Of the
pitchers or by Reed or Hoover
who will be tried out for the pos
itions.
"The grounds will be put in
shape just the moment the
weather permits. The bleachers
will be transferred to the south
side Of the grounds, a new en-.
trance will be made in the rear
of the Miles Hotel and the field
will be enlarged by moving off
several shacks now on Cedar
street and extending the fence
to include this territory.
Gas soon as the weather mod
crates so that it does not freeze
! at monday, the team will begin
practice"
